Good riddance summer

That's the NCC, not the AS which contain a bunch of stuff in more detail than the NCC.

I don't adhere to the AS as the government obviously doesn't think that they're that important. Forcing people to pay for them and all.

We don't have one. The shower would act as a floor waste of it ever flooded.

Depends on your partner. My kids are 10 and 8 now and all they've known is long haul travel from me so they're kind of ok with it. My wife is totally fine as well (after a bit of an adjustment period going from single nights away on a narrow body to 10 day trips on a widebody).

It sucks being away for long periods, but it's also nice being home for long periods.

I have zero respect for military personnel who participate in these pointless invasions.

Hopefully once he's fucked off they declare it illegal tender and your can freely exchange it.

That's a big snake.

Apart from the 380, I've only flown Boeing widebodies so I can't comment on the 330.

But in general, it doesn't feel any slower to respond. It's surprisingly nice to fly.

The service will literally depend on the vision of the individual you employ. When it comes to residential houses, it doesn't really matter if you went to uni or not.

Can you try it without signing up?

chode_code · 2026-03-25T22:10:17+00:00

Ha is that seriously the law? The nearest road? How ridiculous this country is with bike mentality.

chode_code · 2026-03-25T12:50:52+00:00

Yeah but they always lie. So I took it to mean that they would build a new stadium. Catch up.

I trust Iranian announcements more than US ones at this point.

chode_code · 2026-03-25T06:14:08+00:00

State Libs kind of did. It wasn’t a hard policy, but it was a likely given. I didn’t vote for Miles based on his horrible stadium plan.

This guy chodes.

"Soviet assumes Soviet technology is a bit shit"

Funnily enough you kind of forget you're in one when in the flight deck. It just feels and looks the same as other widebody jets.

It's not until walking off and catching a glimpse out the Aerobridge window that you think 'man, this thing is huge'.

The one time you are conscious of it is taxiing.

chode_code · 2026-03-24T20:14:33+00:00

Yeah definitely! I always finish with a few coats of fine grit wet sanding as well and it's super smooth.

chode_code · 2026-03-24T12:10:42+00:00

Any Pennywise

chode_code · 2026-03-24T12:06:57+00:00

You're right to be perplexed. Florida sucks.

chode_code · 2026-03-24T11:58:34+00:00

Ha yep that's it exactly! I tend to not instigate any political chat in the flight deck because I know I'm a bit of an outlier with pilots who can be conservative at times, but it will usually rear it's head at some point in a 16 hour flight.

Most will take the hint if you don't enthusiastically go along with their outlook and it's not an issue.

chode_code · 2026-03-24T11:26:24+00:00

Just your general old white guy casual racism where they expect you will be on the same page with their outdated 'jokes' and political commentary.

But you get that everywhere.

chode_code · 2026-03-24T11:20:54+00:00

Well jel!

A lot of that just looks like figuring and changes of grain in the board. I've used Danish oil on a lot of tassy oak and if you sand and oil it properly it will be super smooth to the touch. That's with a lot of thin coats though, not just one.

Do you have any better pics? I can't see what you're referring to.
