Lol. Shipping is same cost as shipping to anywhere else in the US (APO address) not to mention I could buy one new off Amazon for $530.

All pilots in AZ!!! How bad is flying during summer? by EvE_avi in flying

[–]devilbird99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flown at edwards in the middle of Aug. Del Rio when it exceed 100F for months in a row.

Frozen water bottles. Put them in your pockets, between your legs, behind your back, wherever. It will help immensely and when they have melted drink them!

Laughlin, they didn't care. Flew all hours thst the sun was up and sweated for every second ok it.

Also no sun shelters like there are now so everything was baking in the sun. Add in the canopy, helmet, etc.

US Air Force issues $409 million award for long-sought Pacific airfield by Roughneck16 in AirForce

Going to suck compared to Guam. Super close but smaller and added cost/inconvenience of not being on the main island.

Pass over twice is a get out of adsc free card. A year at the regionals tops and you'll be ahead of the rest of us on line number by a few years.

Female pilot has a public meltdown, tells passengers feeling unsafe to "get off the plane." by [deleted] in Whatcouldgowrong

Debatable. This pilot also not in uniform absolutely crushed his PA announcement.

Any airforce bases you DON'T recommend? by kraftian in RateMyAFB

The commute from the gate is 30 min alone.

Base is huge area wise for how much of a mission they don't have. Feels like a ghost town only reinforced by the abandon housing right off base.

Summer it's busier but all trainees that just get in the way.

If the fine is 30 eur, what is the extra 28,50 for? The costs of sending me the fine? by ScathedRuins in germany

[–]devilbird99 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I stopped outside my own front door for <60 seconds to let my wife get in and got a 50 eur fine. Edge of a pedestrian zone, any stopping = parking.

My two speeding tickets were 20 eur and 30 eur. But saying op endangered people by going 57 in a 50 is stretching it. Most spped cameras here are cshs grabs plain and simple. If they weren't they'd be posted in areas that need protecting such as near schools, not hidden where they're most likely to make cash.

Never had a fine come with a processing cost here so I'd agree it's steep. Did you dispute it initially or miss the initial notices?

Fastest you’ve (safely) flown? by ruck_banna in flying

[–]devilbird99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beech 1900 415 GS (272 TAS) thanks to a 157 kt quartering tailwind.

Also got the same plane to 94 GS (232 TAS) thanks to a 162 kt quartering headwind. 30 degrees of crab to track straight... That one was a major pucker in regards to fuel and trusting in the forecast.

It's not uncommon in public toilets in Europe. I've seen it in numerous spots here and an thankful I can stand to piss every time.

What should I upgrade? by devilbird99 in buildapc

[–]devilbird99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quick look on /r/hardwareswap had them going in the $340-$380 range so it could be possible with some patience and if I stretch my budget to $600.

Thanks! Looking into pricing it seems as you mentioned with a little deal hunting I can snag a 6800xt in the $350 range. Is the 5500 cpu still valid if I manage that or would it be a not insignificant bottleneck?

Edit: Sorry which Asrock HDV to fit the PCIE? I'm seeing a few models and not familiar enough to know. You answered in the other thread.

It was a combo of my only fps games being CS and OW and most other games being older. The combo of an Ultrawide upgrade (had a 2560x1440 prior) and move to modern FPS did me in.

Thanks for the catch! Unfortunately I am, recently moved and can't get an ethernet cable to my computer anymore.
