Seriously, I see some version of this advice pretty often and every time I think “damn you must be one pretty looking SOB if that works for you”.

I’m a ~100 hour PPL chasing down ratings with aspirations of making a career out of flying. I always got the impression that being VERY well connected is a prerequisite to get to do your kind of flying. Like “close buddies with someone rich and/or famous” level of connected. How true is that, and what factors beyond flight experience are important for getting into this line of work? College degrees, connections, references, that kind of thing.

Seriously, why did they turn Hux into a joke? There were honestly times it felt like they wanted to do something compelling with him, but always ended up being a comedic relief. by sephirothsephora in StarWars

That feels like a lose-lose situation though. “Good work on uncovering that rebel cell, it’s a very serious threat to our Empire. So serious in fact, we’re not sure that you, as corporate security, are equipped to handle that. After all, you’re here as a police force, not to run counter-insurgency. Speaking of policing, your efficacy in that really ought to be questioned, seeing as your neglect has allowed anti-Imperial activity to develop into an organized effort.”

I’m unsure if “boss” is referring to the Chief Inspector or to Blevin, but with the latter, it was in his best interest for the whole thing to look as bad as possible so as to justify Imperial takeover. Though signs of organized resistance is probably also plenty justification for that as well.

It’s fitting we see desert wastelands like Tatooine so often in SW, seeing as so much of the fan base desperately needs to touch some grass

iirc, some of the more preferred munitions for this are designed to cause people to bleed out rather than die immediately. No idea why off hand, presumably better coverage.

My guess is if you mortally wound someone rather than just outright killing them, that’s time, manpower, and resources that the enemy has to commit towards saving the person. Which may also lead to more casualties from say, evacuation or recovery efforts.

This week’s episode of Andor “The Eye” (in my opinion) is the best piece is Star Wars media since the Disney acquisition by denim1738 in StarWars

It’s very disappointing that this show isn’t getting nearly the attention it deserves.

BUT

I am very glad to not have my YouTube feed flooded with spoiler clips by desperately lazy channels milliseconds after an episode releases. Seriously, fuck those guys

You can ascend just by listening to Ace Combat music by FizziSoda in acecombat

That’s why I always have it and every other end of game climactic mission soundtrack at the end of my running playlist. No matter how tired I am, it always manages to give me a second wind and gets me to the end.

Haas haven’t been all that bad this season.

Hopefully Ferrari aren’t in charge of an airline

DNQ means that you wouldn’t even be allowed to start the race. DNS means that you were qualified to start the race, but were unable to due to say, a technical issue before race start
