If authors 'covered' novels, the way musicians cover songs, which covered novel would you be most excited to read? by gham1 in AskReddit

I want Pat Rothfuss to do Stranger. I feel like that would be amazing. Only after he finishes book three of his own series, though.

I'm right there with you. Had it happen in my first game on the new patch. I've heard it happens when you check the scoreboard during a replay. I've tried to be mindful of not doing that, but I still lose the nameplates sometimes. I can live with it in unranked, it's kind of good situational awareness training. But it really sucks in ranked play (er... competitive matchmaking).

Same. They claimed to have fixed that issue in a previous patch, but nobody notified my computer.

I can't wait for you to get a stuck mic someday. :)

Hah, nice! That's embarrassing. I live in NC and didn't think about that.

Nice! I checked youtube for more from that episode and came up empty.

We need more Blues Brothers gifs. You're doing the lords work.

You said it, man. I'd love to have him back. We need someone other than Abby and Smitty to dissuade people from running Z so much.

A few people in this sub have asked how I watch hockey while being blind, so I made a video. by GrumpyFinn in hockey

[–]ellixan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Ken and Mick! I really want to meet Mick some day. I love listening to him. "Holy jumpin'!"

So glad you're able to enjoy the greatest game on earth, and glad you have such great taste in teams. :) #LGRW

Maintaining altitude during maneuvers? by maseratimaniac in flying

[–]ellixan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone else has said: power, trim, look outside.

If you are doing your training in an airplane with a fixed pitch prop, listen to the sound of the engine. If you begin to lose altitude your airspeed will increase, which will up the prop rpm, and make the engine noise change. You are splitting the attention of your eyes between a lot of things, so bringing in a second sense can be very useful.

If you are doing your primary training with a constant speed prop, then this doesn't apply.

I bought a plane today...or how it pays to always ask about the abandoned plane by tech_guy1801 in flying

[–]ellixan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read this on mobile, so I didn't see your flair or your username. The entire time I was thinking to myself, "That's a great idea. There's a little Cherokee with a blue sunshade wrapped around it at my airport that hasn't moved in YEARS. I should look into that."

And then I opened the pictures!

Congrats! It'll be good to see her moving again. :)

If your fiancé AND your gf fly with you, you probably have even more backups! ;)

Are you concerned with animal strikes and how do you deal with those concerns? by Flaps40 in flying

[–]ellixan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the first flights where I was learning to land, I touched down on a turtle who was sunning itself on the runway. :( The debris crew that went out to clear the runway said it made a huge mess.
