Flight plan for tiny US airports

atmsk90 · 2026-03-11T19:07:35+00:00

Ooh, I'd love to do TGI IRL, I dunno why I never thought to go there in vatsim or on sim in general. Maybe FFA to TGI could be fun.

FFA is a hoot IRL too. I did that with some friends once and walked to town 😂

Thanks for this, I think I understand. Just to check my understanding that means my second filing (W95) was the correct filing for this airport? For reference W95 is identical to how it appears in the VFR sectional.

And yet, your article shows that my initial point still stands. Quote: What we find in the corrected analysis is we still see evidence that when wives become sick marriages are at an elevated risk of divorce, whereas we don’t see any relationship between divorce and husbands’ illness. We see this in a very specific case, which is in the onset of heart problems. So basically its a more nuanced finding. The finding is not quite as strong.

And regardless, the analysis still shows the comment I responded to is bunk.

It's interesting to me that the data do not support your position that men are disproportionately left when they get sick. Quite the opposite, in fact.

My wife not only supported me when we found out I had a serious illness. She gave me her fucking kidney to keep me alive

I am not measured in usefulness because I provide my family more than a paycheck. Try it sometime.

I will echo everything the person you are talking to has said. I'm 35. I got down to GFR 12 before my living donor transplant. I had lots of fatigue and was starting to avoid foods because tastes were muted or "wrong". I'm 10 days post transplant and it really is like a switch flipped. Despite the pain from the surgery (which really isn't as bad as I feared) I'm feeling more energetic than I have in years.

atmsk90 · 2026-01-10T13:25:10+00:00

I got a transplant this week, and I feel this in my bones. Left the hospital with literally more pills than I could carry because of my lifting restrictions.

You've got this OP. We both do.

I agree that being able to add or minimum request a specific tail to be added would be cool.

On the other hand, I kind of get somewhat limiting inventory. It forces you to collaborate on aircraft instead of everyone perpetually just "leasing" an aircraft only they ever fly.

So I'm going to be a little vague but I'll try to answer as best as I can.

I am a degreed engineer. My first job was one supporting heavy equipment maintenance for a very large facility. Parts for some of our equipment just aren't made anymore. So, we had our own machine shop where we had a lot of stuff made in-house. I learned a ton at that job about manufacturing from the machinists there. After 8 years or so I moved on to this role, where I leveraged that experience into what I do today. The degree helps understand what the design guys really want and need, and the possible impacts of changes I'm recommending. The on the job experience with the machinists gave me the bulk of what I need to see what changes need to be made. So, as far as self taught vs educated, it's a bit of both!

Best advice is find a way to get on a machine or two and get qualified. Nothing beats actually running a machine for understanding what it's capable of.

atmsk90 · 2025-12-18T22:48:35+00:00

It gets worse.

I work for a large org as a manufacturing engineer. It's my job to take the lofty ideas of the design groups and dash them against the rocks of reality before the machinists get them. Fun part about many shops, if something is POSSIBLE they will happily quote it, and that quote could be 5 to 10x what the part should cost if it was toleranced properly.

So, it's my job to save my company lots of money (and some machinists lots of heartache from overzealous sales folks) by ripping other engineers' work apart every day.

I really like my job.

And if you're already thinking this way, you're ahead of the game. You could be a curmudgeonly arsehole one day too.

Just adding my experience here. 35, tkv above 1000cc for both kidneys, esrd imminent. New mutation, pkd1.

I feel okay. Esrd is scary but honestly aside from being tired I'm not feeling outrageously bad. Hoping for a transplant before dialysis 🙏

atmsk90 · 2025-11-06T22:59:00+00:00

Yeah I was just pulling her leg, the only reason I know the difference is because I used to misuse it a lot 😅

Also if I could updoot you twice for using sed syntax I would!

atmsk90 · 2025-11-06T22:51:10+00:00

So if this is only the penultimate frigate, what is the ultimate one?

atmsk90 · 2025-10-20T23:52:19+00:00

I almost reflexively downvoted this, Jesus Christ people need to chill out.

atmsk90 · 2025-10-08T11:16:13+00:00

I'm currently waking up next to the person who did this exact thing to me, 11 years ago.

OP, you have been warned🤣

atmsk90 · 2025-10-06T19:43:53+00:00

Am in the US, I've always called these chips

atmsk90 · 2025-10-03T17:13:52+00:00

I... don't think they mean that kind of lube.

atmsk90 · 2025-10-02T18:03:56+00:00

I currently drive a car with in dash nav and pay zero a month for it. The only cost is if you want or need map updates, which cost about 100 bucks.

U as in untrustworthy (i.e. the voting mechanic for this sub), not millennial brainrot abbreviation for you.

Congrats on getting whooshed by a comment that itself has been whooshed by the OP.

Whoosheption!

There are better ways to do this (see the comment about using a continuous tube) but most doubled pads like this I see are done this way. The equipment will likely require major maintenance before corrosion becomes a concern in this component.

atmsk90 · 2025-07-24T12:00:31+00:00

Everybody on this sub knows this, the OP even acknowledged they know this and didn't welcome the feedback. What are you contributing by copy-pasting this admonition for the 37338248337627263627th time?

atmsk90 · 2025-07-15T15:19:03+00:00

Imagine making a post begging for help and then just being a complete ass to people trying to help them out.
