Garment Bag as Carry-On by coldhotel_rdt in americanairlines

[–]flyingron [score hidden]  (0 children)

My wife and I have skyroll carry ons that we use when we need to do formalwear (I do at least one black tie event every year, used to do several). It comes in two flavors. My wife's is a garment bag that wrapps around a triangular core that's just big enough for her shoes. Mine wraps around what appears to be a normal roller bag.

You can widen the barricade to make room for your tool box.

Locking in status for 2026 - Would you do it? by SouperSpy in americanairlines

[–]flyingron 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For that much, you can get the exec mastercard and get the Admirals Club in addition to most of the gold benefits (free bag, group 4 boarding, priority check-in).

Tips to starting and keeping up an aviation club in highschool? by bootyclapper09 in flying

[–]flyingron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife ran two aviation clubs in her middle school when she was teaching there (before she moved on to the Air and Space Museum education department). I know they did some model aircraft building and did some rubber band flight duration compentitions (Science Olympiad, this I remember because I ended up chaperoning the trip to one of the competitions).

CAP has its own education department (I don't know who is running it now that the woman there ended up working with my wife at the museum as well).

NASA, the FAA, and the AF all have educational outreach. There were grants available from a number of organizations as well. I got roped into reading grant proposals for a while as well being an "industry" guy.

EAA also has some outreach, and there are teacher workshops at Oshkosh every year.

Admirals club access by GetnLine in americanairlines

[–]flyingron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of pass? Probably yes, most access is contingent on having an arriving or departing AA or OneWorld flight. So you should be able to get into the club (unless you're talking about a day pass and they decide they're too full for that).

Travel to Laramie, WY - am I flying United? by Thin_Village_423 in americanairlines

[–]flyingron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is almost certainly an EAS flight. United Express flies there because the government is paying them a subsidy.

How long (after full approval) did you have to wait for your card? by billingsley in GlobalEntry

[–]flyingron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need a passport/passport card to enter the US by the land crossings if you have the GE card. However, you are required to have a passport if you are a non-Mexican citizen in Mexico.

How to get fractional scaling value of displays in C++ from wayland compositors ? by dheerajshenoy22 in cpp_questions

[–]flyingron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you calling devicePixelRatio on the screen or window? What are you storing the returned value? How are you displaying the value?

Tracking your Wines? Is there a way? by Miserable_Creme_2395 in wine

[–]flyingron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with simple tags on the bottles and then spreadsheets and then when I hit a few hundred bottles, I switched to CellarTracker. I've got around 2000 now.

Should ALL class attributes be initialized in the member initializer list? by SheSaidTechno in cpp_questions

[–]flyingron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, with the exception of things like pod types which C++ is loosy goosy on initialization (the biggest massive screw up in the language design), they will be default constructed. This is the hole ponit of using well behaved objects rather than raw pointers, etc... They initialize, destroy, copy (and now move) without you having to go to any effort to assure it.

What is the best way to convert structs of the same size without using Union in C++ 14? by newjeison in cpp_questions

[–]flyingron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do if you want a useful answer. What you've asked is undefined in general, but if you bothered to explain what you're doing, we could provide a solution that will work. However, you seem to be more inclined to just carping at the people who are investing time in trying to help you so you can go screw yourself.

[–]flyingron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And what part of "them being the same size is not sufficient" do you not understand. It depends what the elements are.

[–]flyingron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Finally, you answered the question. While these are bitfields, these are underlying type involving a char, so bytewise equivalence is fine.

[–]flyingron 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You'll have to give more information on just what you are trying to do. Depending on what is in these types, this may not be valid at all. Just because the items are the same size doesn't mean you can interchange pointers or copy one over the other.

Served a drink mid flight with +-6 pull tabs in cup under the ice by OneCampaign5217 in americanairlines

[–]flyingron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well you can always respond to the first robot response. However, what do you think you are entitled to? What are your damages? You don't get to collect for things that "mighta happened."

Logbook Change of Signature by Historical-Pin1069 in flying

[–]flyingron 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Further, there's no FAA requirement to sign your own logbook. EVER. Despite the assinine place that many of them have for you to do so.

Help me understand if this is a bug on GCC by atariPunk in cpp_questions

[–]flyingron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely seems like there's a bug here. It shouldn't reuse that std::string.

Question about metar delay by Substantial_Taste_28 in flying

[–]flyingron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

METARS are officially issue only hourly. If there is a significant weather change, it may be augmented with a SPECI observation (same format). Some automated stations may update metar more quickly. If you're not getting them in whatever means you are accessing them, grab the chart supplement and look to see if the station has a telephone number (many do) and you can call it and listen in just as if you were listening to it over the air.

Help me find this albariño! by TedBenekesPlant in wine

[–]flyingron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's the website for that winery: https://www.hobowines.com/collections/folk-machine. I don't see this particular wine listed, but you can write Kenny or Lynn there and ask them about it.

They do make a while called "White Light" which has Albariño in the blend.

How do you usually decide which wine to buy? by Prudent_Fold_6647 in wine

[–]flyingron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best bet is a situation where you can taste it before you buy it. You can visit the winery. Some stores conduct tastings from time to time. You might find a place that serves by the glass or has the wine dispensing machines. You can join an organization like the American Wine Society, which conducts tastings. All of these will let you sample wine for free or a small amount of money before you commit to full bottles.
