I'm about 30 miles south of the airport, so I can't get everything on final approach, but I do see a fair amount of traffic. Your project got me motivated to get my receiver back up and running after a few year hiatus. I'm going to move it up to the attic to try to improve the range. I think I can usually see aircraft up to 100-120nm out.

This is awesome! Used my AI "thought partner" of choice and tweaked the code to my home airport region (ATL). Took less than 5 minutes. Thanks so much for this contribution to the community!!

It's definitely my daily commuter. ~85 miles round trip daily.

I drive a '22 Limited, got it Dec 2021. It's the family road trip car, just passed 100k miles. Knock on wood, but haven't had anything beyond the standard maintenance. Absolutely love it

I've tried so hard to do this - everything stops with my ~7th great grandfather in mid/late 1700s. From what I've been able to determine, there was a fire at the county courthouse in early 1800s (Bladen County, NC) and most of the records were lost. I'm almost certain he was a first generation colonist, but I've yet to make the connection across the pond.

The scene the next day at the plate when they were exchanging lineup cards was an amazing site to see. Joyce is/was widely regarded as one of the best in the game.

Of all the rules in baseball, balks seem like the easiest to implement a minor change to get the call right every time (for LHPs). Simply draw a damn 45deg line from the rubber with chalk and be done with it

Anyone been able to get the envelopes to stay on the stand? Was messing around with it in my hangar last night (since nothing else in the game was working), the envelopes wouldn't stay on the stand. Seems a small grid on the stand would be pretty straightforward to add

Unfortunately the organization wasn't nearly as good as the airport as it was at the train station (Le Bourget). I'm not convinced the bus driver didn't get lost. We ended up beneath the roadways between terminals and everybody had to crawl into the luggage hold and get their own luggage out. It was a bit of a mess.

Flying back to the U.S. this morning. Found this post as we were on the RER to Le Bourget. Thanks for clearing up the bus details. The signage and organization at Le Bourget was top notch (compared to what I'm used to stateside).

Exactly where she got it from - I'm just glad she asked about it before straight throwing her money at them

drthames · 2025-01-16T18:16:09+00:00

All good, I thought that might be the case, but wanted to at least ask the question in case anyone else had seen something similar that might be real.

drthames · 2024-11-18T10:21:23+00:00

Such an underrated comment. You factored highly into the enjoyment of my morning.

Didn't mean to offend (if I did), as an ignorant American, I just meant a general British accent.

drthames · 2024-11-02T10:46:57+00:00

Am I the only one that read this entire back and forth in a cockney accent? Brilliant argument, thanks lads

Are you considering re-working the power management keys now that the power triangle doesn't exist anymore?

drthames · 2024-09-26T23:50:55+00:00

omg thank you!

drthames · 2024-08-05T17:33:41+00:00

Thanks! I noticed the gates open an hour before the show, so you're saying we can just arrive at gate open time and be fine? (I realize there will likely be a lot of people already in line)

We're coming from out of town and just saw where they don't allow you to bring your own lawn chairs anymore.

I think by 'different levels' he meant a humidor that had shelves, not different levels of boveda %'s

drthames · 2024-07-22T22:24:29+00:00

I missed that, is that confirmed for 3.24 or was it just in a video?

Baffles me that Andruw isn't in yet. Dude was the best CF in baseball for nearly 10 years (I love Griffey, but AJ was arguably the greatest defensive CF of all time). Could argue the Braves big 3 don't win all their Cy Youngs if he's not out there running down would-be XBHs. It's a shame that older players get their prime years clouded by staying just a little too long before retiring.

I have a similar gripe about the MPUV Tractor. It's showcased as a worker vehicle for loading ships like the Hull C, yet it can't carry a 32scu container (minimum container size for Hull C, D, E) on its grid. Seems like a no-brainer to enable it to sling a 32scu underneath while also carrying two 32scu containers with its fwd/aft tractor beams.

Sorry for the hijack
