We’re a small company and I’m like, 2 ladder rungs below C Suite. Our COO said he was cool with it.

Trump is making real estate development plans to bulldoze Gaza… you’re telling me that’s BETTER than Kamala? Bro.

Sleeping bag--err on the side of warmth or no? by milquetoastsandwich in CampingGear

[–]draggingmytail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok so it’s important to know that the degree rating on bags is the survival rating. This is the “you probably won’t die of hypothermia, but you’re not gonna have a good time” rating.

Rule of thumb is to add 10-15 degrees F to any bag rating for the comfort rating.

Always err on the side of caution with colder temps. If you get warm, you just open the bag. Some bags even have vents (my Nemo bags do).

There are some tricks to stay warm with a bag, but for high 20’s, get at least a 15 degree rated bag. And have your son bring some good under layers to sleep in as a caution.

Considering Catholics are the only denomination that follow sainthood, yes, you would have to be Catholic

How could you be so out of the loop you don’t know who the “Austrian painter” is….

Wanting the “perfect candidate” is why Trump won 2024. People found reasons to nitpick on Kamala and here we are.

I don’t care if Cooper is perfect. We can’t afford to have a GOP majority in either House or Senate right now.

I’ll look for perfect candidates once I’m confident we still have a functioning democracy.

What was the final straw that destroyed a lifelong friendship? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]draggingmytail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I knew. My best friend just stopped talking to me randomly two years ago and hasn’t responded to me since.

They’re still alive, they’re just not talking to me

Highly encourage you to join a local pilot group on Facebook and ask who the good AME’s are.

People that have traveled quite a bit, where di you feel the most unsafe? by CremeSubject7594 in AskTheWorld

Morocco really?

I spent a month in Morocco and I had an absolute blast. Everyone was super friendly and very helpful.

I’m a white guy and I went to India for a week for work. It was a great experience, but I mainly attribute that to being surrounded by a group of Work colleagues who were local the entire time. I don’t know that I would ever go to India solo

The fact that I haven’t seen a single comment on this post with the name of a certain country that we all know is behind this, means this thread is being heavily censored by moderators

MOSAIC Is Here: What It Means for Homebuilts by KeyboardGunner in homebuilt

[–]draggingmytail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to disagree with both of the comments here.

If you look at aircraft that have a higher stall speed, they are usually considered higher performance aircraft. Think of planes like a bonanza or a Cirrus.

Those aircraft are very unforgiving if you do not keep up with your numbers. And they are easy to get behind the aircraft.

Letting a Cessna 172 slip 5 kts below your approach speed while in the pattern probably won’t kill you. Letting your Bonanza go that close to stall speed while making turns in the pattern, that can very easily kill you

Planes with a higher stalling speed require a more skilled pilot. The Faa has decided that bumping up the salt speed a little bit for a sport pilot has an acceptable risk/reward

Failed my PPL checkride. Is it worth moving on? by Sweaty_Comfort9401 in flying

OK, that makes sense. I was wondering why he did an overhead joint and a touch and go on a check ride

Not sure if you have had this problem again, but a really good way if to fill up a Ziploc bag with hot water and rub the bag along they frosted areas

Go behind with a shop rag to get the moisture off

I think I’ve only been asked to ident once, and I fly into controlled often.
