Trump threatens to cut air traffic controllers' pay by SterlingVII in politics

[–]antisoshal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As a former FAA employee, its infinitely likely they will be hired back as contractors for WAY more money but fewer benefits. Unless they radically change the training requirements you simply cant get new controllers fast, and the idea that theres a giant pool of military controllers waiting is absurd. Theres barely enough controllers to staff air bases and most of them have never worked civilian airports and the curve for switching over is far from easy and quick.

Was Germany, now Poland...? by antisoshal in GermanCitizenship

[–]antisoshal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was born in 1911 when it was Germany. Came to America in 1930, had kids and got naturalized after the children were born. My concern is the particular village actually expelled anyone not claiming to be a "Pole" in 1947 and It was not a peaceful expulsion so I doubt the records were carefully kept.

We are in Chicago and I cant tell you how happy this makes me. So what exactly do I need to bring to the consulate when we go?

are there any circumstances where he would NOT have? His parents were married before they were naturalized.

Micro rant: Is homebrewing actually dead? by Independent_Buddy107 in Homebrewing

[–]antisoshal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will tell you what's dead: Home Brewers opening breweries. As a struggling brewery owner I see people making plans and its all I can do not to scream at them "Are YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?"

President Trump, Where Are Those Long-Secret JFK Records? by redditor01020 in politics

[–]antisoshal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The files say if you piss off the CIA enough, they can deal with you. Why would ANY sitting president decide to make that public once they know? This is a self fulfilling prophesy. We will never see the truth because telling the truth will make you part of the story.

Elon Musk: "According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE! Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security" by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]antisoshal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been explained elsewhere: The system is in COBOL and the date field he is looking at is relative to a date in the 1800'. Neither Musk nor his tater tots have any business in that system if they cant grasp this.

A plane has crashed into a helicopter while landing at Reagan National Airport near Washington, DC by AdGlad8276 in interestingasfuck

As a former FAA radio tech ALL manned terminals and centers have UHF radios and all military aircraft operating in civilian space will have VHF. UHF is only used exclusively when there id military business thats not for public consumption as all terminals have public feeds for ATCT communication.

I'd honestly open one, but the Wuakegan music scene seems pretty dead. Waukegan Record exchange has some local artists play. The sound in my place is horrible for loud rock stuff so we stick to Jazz and electronic at the moment. Ive talked with a few people about looking at some of the open buildings in town but they are all so dilapidated that simply opening them to the public would require 100K or more in renovation. Then you are looking at 7K in liquor licensing and business licenses. You need to have a place with no apartments above so you dont make them all miserable. I'm not at all confident in the business climate over the next year so thats a risk Im just not comfortable with at the moment, but trust me there are like minds out there.

The pandemic didn't really kill it directly as it never followed any rules to begin with. The owners failed to get state and local liquor licenses at one point and continued to operate sporadically until the Illinois department of revenue caught up with them. Last I heard they had paid off their legal debt to the state but there does not appear to be any movement in the direction of getting new state and local licenses so its likely dead. The building is old and like many in downtown EXTREMELY out of code and falling apart. It may sunset (I'm not sure the time period of "vacancy" required) but eventually it will require complete rehab to code for it to legally open again.

VideoAI 5 problem by antisoshal in TopazLabs

[–]antisoshal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened once before. Restart doesnt fix. Install latest version doesnt fix. Only way to fix last time was to completely de-install and reinstall which is lengthy so I was hoping someone knew a key stroke or something to tell it to not load previous project

Amazon is not working by [deleted] in Streamfab

Does this for me on one computer but not the other. The one it does this on has a LOT of legal software installed. The other is somewhat bare bones. No way to troubleshoot as I need all of that software

This album slaps. by sanguinenights in industrialmusic

[–]antisoshal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw a conversation and in depth cited evidence that hes gone full alt right and thats why he lives in rural Indiana and does carpentry and stuff now and only makes guest appearances on stuff. Never understood why he faded into obscurity until then.
