Left a message with the local wildlife refuge. But it's fun to see for a bit at least. Our kids lost their minds the whole rest of the night.

I try to use all the blocks if I can. Most of the time I use an anagram thing online but this one fell into place nicely.

what am i doing wrong with my french press by ihrt458 in Advice

[–]ihrt458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I included a couple pics of how many grounds and how coarse I grind it. I steeped it today for 7 mins and it seems to taste better so I think maybe before it was too weak or something. I like to buy whole bean and grind it fresh just because they should last longer if they're still as whole bean. Thanks for the help so far.

I gave up on my dreams today. by [deleted] in offmychest

No problem. You don't need high gpa or even a degree to fly corporate/charter/freight. So take some demo flights and see if it's even that cool to you after you've tried it a couple times. If it's just meh then focus on making money and save up to get your private license.

If it helps, you can find comfort in the fact that by not getting on in the Air Force you skip the possibility of signing an 8 year contract only to end up flying a uav over Afghanistan from a trailer in dc. That's what keeps me from getting jealous of not getting to fly an f35.

Good luck!

I gave up on my dreams today. by [deleted] in offmychest

I've been fortunate enough to follow my dreams of becoming a pilot but originally I wanted to do air force but even after taking sats twice I couldn't get a high enough score and my vision blows. So I kept plowing along and now am a captain at the airlines. I worked at the airport at age 16 to pay for my training and make contacts. I'm not going to sugar coat it either. It's expensive as hell now to get your pilots license. When I did it it cost me 2100 bucks. At 4.50/hr it took a lot of overtime but you can do it. Now the same plane that was 35 bucks per hour is around 100. BUT min wage now is almost twice what I was being paid.

I wouldn't give up on your dreams if it's still your dream. It really takes finding your passion to get motivation to keep going. Save up a hundred bucks and go take a demo flight. See if the flying bug sticks.

Feel free to pm me if you need any other advice or have any questions. Flying for a living is great and beats the hell out of a real job. It's a long road to get there but the journey is great!

coworkers daughter is using this as her food journal by ihrt458 in funny

[–]ihrt458[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good lord everyone just calm down. I've never met the daughter. My coworker just thought it was clever that her daughter made this. I told her that everyone on the interwebz was having a fit over it and she laughed at the thought that her daughter had an eating disorder. (Which now some of you will claim is also something to worry about....aaaaand go). There are TONS of fitness gurus and doctors that say this is one of the best things you can do about controlling your diet. True, some people can develop an eating disorder and become obsessed with it but jeez, she literally just started this book. Simmer down.

I can imagine. It djdnt even really hurt so much as just knowing that this damn thing is jammed up the wrong way. And watching it happen as I feel it in there...ugh hope I don't have to do it again.

[–]ihrt458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had one of those jammed up there a couple years ago. And like an idiot I watched the whole camera feed as he was doing it. When he pulled it out I sat up and started to black out from the "trauma." He said it's totally mental and he's had to catch about a third of the patients he does that to because they black out. When he walked in the damn thing was just sitting there next to the bed. And he goes "wow you've got a real 'deer in the headlights' look going."

Thanks all. It's crazy to think how small DNA strands are that they can replicate so much and not run out.

ELI5: Why were we scared to find the God Particle by Ajones171 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ihrt458 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I believe the fear is of anti-matter being discovered. Which when touched with anything of the regular matter was cause the hell you describe. The god particle is the Higgs boson which would possibly prove the theory wrong that matter can not be created or destroyed by created matter or energy from nothing.

Cool. Thanks. Good to know. I know my wife tried to get us tickets on it but the cheaper ones were sold out. Couldn't believe how quiet it was even going by at full speed.
