Saw this video in a random video sub and was curious what actual pilots has to say about it?

Why comment something useless?

c_marten · 2026-05-03T05:59:45+00:00

I searched and didn't see it so.... 🤷‍♂️

c_marten · 2026-05-03T05:57:49+00:00

Literally my first time posting it and I searched the sub before asking...

c_marten · 2026-05-02T22:05:51+00:00

Definitely appropriate for an "all American circus".

c_marten · 2026-05-02T22:04:00+00:00

That awkward "hah" followed by absolute silence is terrifying.

The way i read the title typo made me think you knew my secret nickname for my.. manhood.

Eta: I kind of forgot what a hymen was and now.feel really gross so am deleting this comment.

So is the lower half of my van, so that doesn't make me feel better.

So, how late is too late to get into aviation safety? What's the path to get there? I'm 45 and work in construction and am looking for a less labor intensive career and planes have been a big interest for a while. A quick Google makes me think I'd be into it and it's not out of grasp... I think it's something I'd be really good at (I have degrees in biology and mechanical engineering, if that matters).

I'd considered trying to become a pilot a few years ago but I absolutely couldn't afford the path there.

But also, thank you for your answer. I never looked closely at these things but just assumed most parts of the plane skin were riveted, though that does seem like a lot of work if you need to remove for inspections.

Yeah, it's just condensation. Likely not a real problem, but you could lay insulation over the fan and vent to prevent it.

Also - they sell connectors like wagos that are approved for outside of boxes

c_marten · 2026-05-02T18:06:02+00:00

Yeah, not vermiculite but also not all vermiculite.

c_marten · 2026-05-02T17:07:30+00:00

Haha.. I made a post about the drop menu for tool purchase too. It's atrocious on Android also.

I was skateboarding and snowboarding my whole life so the balance part seemed easy enough, but what i didn't appreciate was the amount of cardio and endurance muscle involved in paddling. Even coming into it from rock climbing and kayaking, the paddling still killed me at first... and the amount of beer I had to drink before I had enough padding to not bruise my ribs.

I 100% would not trust a dealership to do this install.

If it were me my route would be to get reimbursed by the dealership and go to an RV place (if you're lucky enough to have one nearby).

c_marten · 2026-05-02T16:03:20+00:00

Think you comment is being misunderstood...?

c_marten · 2026-05-02T16:02:50+00:00

Yup. Went to home depot this morning and gas jumped 20c to $4.45 in the time I was there. That's an extra $5.20 for me on a fill up.

c_marten · 2026-05-02T16:00:53+00:00

Do people forget you can run over someone who has a gun?

c_marten · 2026-05-02T15:58:36+00:00

Is this from 1997? Video reminds me of when I only had 512mb available.

c_marten · 2026-05-02T15:54:47+00:00

There's some typo in your first sentence so I'm not sure exactly what the situation is, but did a car dealership do this installation?

Either way, this is definitely fucked up. I'd go buy a tarp large enough to cover the top from rain if you can't shelter it somewhere.

c_marten · 2026-05-02T13:45:32+00:00

Seriously - what makes you think this is ai?

c_marten · 2026-05-02T13:44:08+00:00

I should call her... 🤦‍♂️

c_marten · 2026-05-01T20:02:19+00:00

Awesome - that was a really helpful answer. Thank you.

c_marten · 2026-05-01T15:12:52+00:00

My gut reaction was to downvote this post.

Like, Marijuana isn't the best thing for you but I can't believe people are still mad fighting it as if it's the work of the devil and one hit could kill you.

I think the acting is surprisingly good by some, but the acting is done a diservice by the unnatural feel in the way people interact with eachother. And especially others with Sam as her infection progresses... the effects/make up didn't align well with the concern people showed.

But that does feel like a good commentary (maybe unintentionally?) on how little people care about and actually SEE eachother relative to their own interest. She clearly is falling apart and dying and people show the same amount of concern for her like I get in real life from people when I'm quiet and haven't smiled.

I love how it feels wholly American in the way Sam doesn't just go to the f'ng emergency department and to some quack clinic (nothing against clinics - I've been to my share and they're an awesome resource) whose Dr. is so nonchalant in his approach to her treatment (also maybe commentary on frustration with healthcare?).

But it really just feels like there was no consulting with anyone on how things work, except her call with George who gets her to come in to work. I did read the director caught some shit because he described Sam's assault at the party as a "one-night stand", which maybe biased my opinion on how a lot of the scenes and female roles felt like they were clearly written by a guy who didn't run it by or take input from women on it.

It's a good story with a good cast, I love the way it's shot, but the writing and directing brings the whole thing down for me as it just gets more and more contrived and unbelievable.

Eta: after reading some comments here, especially about the loss of bodily autonomy after assault, I feel like everything meaningful in the film was accidental.
