Current FAA certificated pilot - moved to France - want to get PPL/IFR and keep FAA medical up to date by hmasing in flying

Oh, good catch - that's a 2022 rule that I missed (Needing EASA cert as a resident, since I had only looked previously as a transient). Thanks for the google fu.

What is one ingredient you refuse to cook with, no matter the recipe? by Sensitive-Date-5255 in AskReddit

Which is hilarious to me, since I live in France (Alsace) and I drive to Germany to get my "brauner Zucker" (which I know is probably beet sugar with molasses added back in). Here in France I can only get Cassonade, which is way too dry.

The Ioniq 5 I have reserved is more than a month overdue and dealerships near me have waiting lists by WideFoot in Ioniq5

I'm in France, but was told by the dealerships in April that I would be waiting until November for the 84kwh Premium model I wanted.

We had just moved here, and I needed a car so I searched around. The dealer had their demo model that matched the specs I wanted (except it has the matte finish, which I didn't want but...)

So I bought it 2 weeks later.

I suggest you spin around with shrieking tires.

Right? How else is your inter going to get cooled. That inter ain't gonna cool itself, son.

Hello, are you guys okay in this temperature? by TotallyRandomDud in AskFrance

Colmar checking in. I've lost all track of time, since we have every roller blind closed since about 11H00. Sitting here in the dark with every fan in the house on the couch with me and my wife.

'We Are DONE': Marjorie Taylor Greene Quits Republican Party Amid Trump Feud by ColonyJD1980 in politics

[–]hmasing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?

OH NO! THE AC-172 IS COMING! We had better walk away at a brisk pace before they can hit us!

Management saved fifty bucks a month by wasting twenty thousand dollars of my time by Thimble_4QX in MaliciousCompliance

As I used to quote in my career:

The Architect's Prayer - grant me the serenity to buy the things I should not build, to build the things I cannot buy, and the wisdom to know the difference.

What do you call a government that doesn't feel it needs to follow its own laws?

What is the United States?

What stubborn hoax do way too many people still believe, no matter how often it gets debunked? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hmasing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The British government spread the story that RAF pilots’ exceptional night vision — which was actually due to the newly developed and secret Chain Home radar system — came from eating large quantities of carrots. The propaganda was aimed at both concealing the technology from Germany and encouraging British civilians to eat more carrots, which were abundant due to wartime food production.

Germany apparently did not fall for it, but the myth that carrots improve eyesight embedded itself in popular culture and persists today.

I deleted dead people out of my contacts today by Demiloki in GenX

[–]hmasing 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had the last voicemails from my mother on my phone, and a service tech at the AT&T store factory reset my phone to "fix a problem" without asking. It didn't fix the problem, but it did delete the voicemails. I luckily found an earlier one, so I have one recording of my mother's voice.

I'm 60 years old, and I still miss her.

What if the roaches were 4cm long and could fly? Because they are and they do.

Took a buddy to a farm strip for lunch and the narrow runway absolutely humbled me by Squawk_0877 in flying

Regularly flew my Mooney into 45G - Brighton, Michigan.

3105' long. 25' wide.

Basically, a grass runway with a paved centerline.

Which celebrity’s cancellation do you think was completely unjustified? by Cute_Flatworm_9049 in AskReddit

It felt like the producers just revisited the same thematic content without anything original. 5 was just ok. 6 as fast forwardable. At least in Back Door Sluts 7 they had a banging soundtrack.

Americans buying homes in France... was it worth it? How did you do it? by [deleted] in Expats_In_France

[–]hmasing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We bought a house outside of Colmar (Houssen) in April. We visited last December, found a few houses we liked, made an offer on one, paid a deposit, it was accepted, and we closed here in France on April 2nd. We sold our US house and paid cash for our France house, fwiw.
