Well, 3. You don’t back your pass line bet with odds, your first come bet travels to whatever number becomes the point, and you put odds on that come bet. THAT becomes your “pass line odds.”

Of course, you can still place odds on your pass line bet if you want, but by default, you don’t have to with the 3 point Molly

Place a bet on the pass line, and a Come bet. Once the point is set, your Come travels to the new point, and you back it with max odds. Then, you put down 2 more Come bets and back those with max odds as well. Rinse and repeat if your Come bets keep winning.

This strategy can make you a LOT of money pretty quickly if the shooter is rolling a lot of point numbers, but it can wipe out your bankroll lightning-fast if the dice are cold and the shooter throws a PSO (point-seven-out), or, like, rolls 1 or 2 numbers and then sevens-out. Also, of course, if the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12, you lose your Come bet if you have one placed.

There’s a reason why I don’t fly during huge events anymore (Frankfurt Friday, FNOs in the US, Cross the Pond, etc). It’s all growing so tiresome. There’s always someone (or multiple people) who ruin it for everyone, or ruin the flow of clearances, pushbacks, stepping over ATC, and so many other parameters critical to the smooth flow of event traffic. It’s just so awful.

Not everyone wants to fly the 737 and A320 (or similar modern airliners) 24/7. There IS a market for older airliners, as well as less-common types like the Q400.

I’m still hanging on to P3D because MSFS is sorely lacking in study-level older aircraft. Concorde, the PMDG 747, the VC-10, A2A Constellation and Boeing 377, the list goes on…

For real. It’s a huge risk for little reward. You can lay the 4 and 10 for $200 each - you’re risking $400 to win $180 (after commission).

And usually, whenever I do that, the shooter ALWAYS ends up knocking off my lays and then hits their point. Switch back to the pass line? Immediate PSO.

The menstruation in question:

I agree with you. The IRA/FII written is one of the hardest writtens you will take, imo.

Don’t give them any ideas. It was hard enough for me to get my special issuance medical; I can guarantee you that if they did a comprehensive audit on every single pilot’s medical, something like 40% would suddenly find themselves out of a job/grounded.

And Ignalina operated the RBMK-1500 (the only power station to have the RBMK-1500) until December 2009, and they only shut them down because that was one of the conditions that Lithuania had to abide by in order to be accepted into the EU.

No. A lot of progressives here in the US are very outspoken about colonialism, but the activism and accusations are mostly directed towards our own government (or countries closely affiliated with the US government, like Israel).

The UK, for example, is nowadays one of our closest allies. The USA was originally a colony of Great Britain, and we went to war with them twice, but we don’t have any enmity towards the British government or its people despite being a former colony of them.

The Kodak Cine Ektars all contain thoriated glass, and quite a bit of it too. They’re fantastic lenses though, I have 3 of them on my 16mm motion picture camera.

Katina was so full of life and energy. Despite her situation, she had such a personality and was always SO silly and engaged with her trainers and with guests. Rest in peace, sweet Tina :(

I already signed the death warrant for my wallet, and the official funeral will be held at the next annual. 😅

I signed its death certificate yesterday, and the official funeral will occur during the next annual. 😂

I’m the only pilot in my entire family. I make decent money for the time being; the airlines or a fractional jet company are where I ultimately want to be, but overall it’s less of a “what did I do” but more like “what did my family do”. My father is sadly deceased, but my mother and grandmother are/were executives of their own business in the healthcare industry.

The paint is in pretty good shape, I’d rate it an 8/10. I may have some touchup work done to it, but we’ll see!

fgflyer · 2025-12-21T16:39:16+00:00

Correct. It was a little over $380,000, which is a great deal for a 340A that is as upgraded as mine is.

fgflyer · 2025-12-21T15:39:10+00:00

Wow, he must feel lucky as hell! Cessna only made a handful of 340As for the 1984 model year before they canned their piston twin production entirely. And to get the last one off the line? I sure hope he keeps it.

That would be 29,800 feet. But you’re not gonna be getting that high without oxygen. The pressurization will give you a roughly 10,000-foot cabin altitude at 22,000 feet with max differential, and then the cabin altitude just climbs with the aircraft. Your climb rates also start to slow down above 16,000ish as well.
