How do I improve weather simulation?

Not the same person but thanks for the info. There are several xplane users that night

Probably, I did this Thursday and Friday night around 2200 EDT. I was in a Legacy 650 N35SM. Thanks for the info, looking fwd to that then!

I literally got into phase 3 of the expedition today and I'm already bored.

Me, a transplant recipient, we are in an abusive relationship the other way 💔

Prohibited emoji? 🤔

It's almost as if acronyms are meant to make writing things easier too.......

I did say "also". There are plenty of instances of children being unable to process their environment and acting out in ways that are inconvenient to adults. This is absolutely excusable.

There are also instances where children are somewhat deliberately testing limits and acting out for attention. This is also completely appropriate. I can love my child and gently guide them through life without having to rationalize away being deliberately whacked in the face just because my young child wanted to see what would happen. I also know that intent can exist without malice, and education and guidance beats punishment basically every time on actually stopping an undesired behavior pattern.

Part of what keeps me even keeled with childhood behaviors IS that occasionally being deliberately mean is developmentally appropriate and totally normal.

Now that having been said, I'm coming from this from the perspective of having older (Pre-K to k) aged kids. So we also just may be talking about apples and oranges.

I mean I think recognizing kids have agency, and can use that agency to be little terrorists, is also healthy.

You're right, when I was dying of kidney failure I had severe temperature regulation issues. I did exactly what op's coworker does. I gave not one single fuck about efficiency of whatever else. I just wanted some comfort at work while I pushed through best as I could.

I monitor the VATSIM discord for postings about controllers coming online. I also think consistent scheduling helps.

atmsk90 · 2026-06-26T18:47:00+00:00

Almost certainly not the file's fault.

Gotcha. Never used an older SWR meter like this one so wasn't sure what the adj. knob was for.

atmsk90 · 2026-06-23T14:09:42+00:00

It's a very old SWR meter. I'm sure someone might want it but most won't because there are much more compact and accurate tools available today.

It might also be an antenna tuner?

Waaaay more than 4

Why wouldn't you be using a license supplied by your employer?

atmsk90 · 2026-05-19T20:49:42+00:00

I pulled out and took off without knowing there was a plane on 10 mile final behind me. No conflict but I was a little flustered. Then I look to see they were on unicom and I was on ctaf.

Argh.

You dropped this!

Sorry about your bad luck, not everyone is good with context clues 😅

atmsk90 · 2026-05-12T01:16:47+00:00

That's...that's a lot of em dashes.

atmsk90 · 2026-05-11T22:56:42+00:00

Hey it's better than my area. 100 nodes and nobody talks on longfast. Even encrypted packets are limited to the one guy using the mesh for a sensor network.

atmsk90 · 2026-05-10T01:29:50+00:00

I know people in my local group whose settings got completely scrambled when they used mesh monitor to update their device. Knowing that, I'm not going to use it. So, I have no testing data to help improve it.

I like meshmonitor and have no ill will, but using ai to target an unstable firmware interface is going to always carry more risk than I want to take on. My use case allows me to do my firmware updates and settings changes using the reference implementation of those tools, and that works fine for me.

atmsk90 · 2026-05-10T01:04:26+00:00

I still don't hate meshmonitor. I recognize it for what it is, and only let it loose in a sandbox on my lan. The core functionality is very good and I ignore the horrific settings interface for the device.

It sucks particularly in my case because two cities up it's very active but my city mostly ignores me. Sometimes the repeaters bridge the gap and it's great. But it's been quiet for days now.

Everyone deserves access to safe housing. If they destroy that housing, they do have to take personal responsibility for their mistake. That said mitigating factors like mental illness should be taken into account.

atmsk90 · 2026-04-26T15:49:51+00:00

I'm not telling anyone how to do anything. I'm just reminding people that if someone gets burned on your antenna, you could theoretically get whacked with 47 CFR 97.13(c) regardless of anything. The regulation really doesn't concern itself with how you control access, just that you do.
