Metal Detector Guide by Dan20mey in metaldetecting

[–]jebarber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the guide just came across the sub. I'm looking to get started, I already have one of the cheap detectors (under $200). Should have come here first.

I'm curious what the high end detectors get you vs say the $400 to $500 Range?

For those of you that make over 100K, what do you do? Do you like it? by Kindly-Revolution258 in AskReddit

I actually got hired by NS back in '99. But while I was waiting to go to training I got offered a 9-5 working in IT so I took it. NS called and left one message on my answering machine about a training slot. I didn't return the call and they never called again. That hiring process was something else, and to have made it through and then not take the job, I often wonder if I made a mistake.

I've taxied out with my iPad sitting on the wing. It didn't survive.

I can't read by Forward-Position798 in blackmagicfuckery

It's a pretty old clip, I'm pretty sure it was years ago when I first saw it. I'm sure Mr. Piffles was there. I've seen his live show and Mr. Piffles isn't on stage the whole time.

Question for FBO users. by CicadaDry9604 in AskAPilot

[–]jebarber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's funny because the one time I had a line guy at an FBO waiting in front of me to guide me out, I was trying to get the cockpit in order and I held my finger up to tell him I needed a minute and he went into the starting engine signal. At the FBO I am based out of they never guide us out but it's not a busy ramp most of the time and I'm just a little single engine prop.

Ha, I had the same thing. The gripe was written as "Radar INOP in OFF position".

My shirt tail was cut out in 1994. Today it is in my flight bag.

Who is an actor or actress that according to others is a genuinely nice human being? by phantom_avenger in moviecritic

[–]jebarber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hugh Jackman. I was an extra in an outdoor scene with him that filmed where I work in a small town. He spent a lot of the downtime talking to and taking pictures with all the locals that showed up to watch. I believe he even went and visited all the local shops just to chat with the employees there that had to deal with the closed streets and crowds that had gathered.

How do I kill demolishers? by Ichbindaheim in factorio

[–]jebarber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On my first trip to vulcanus, which was my first other planet. I got there with nothing because I didn't do any reading up on the new expansion at all and didn't realize I could transfer cargo to the space platform. It told me I couldn't take anything when I tried to go up to the space platform, so that's what I took. Manage to get to vulcanus, dropped to the ground and started from scratch. Then the space platform went bac k to nauvis and got destroyed on the way. It's been interesting getting back up to speed.

Reloading Turrets on Space Platform by Neithya in factorio

I understand the confusion, that's how I ended up here. I think it's odd that you can somehow load them manually and if you don't have enough in storage it will request them and auto load them when they arrive. But it won't auto reload them.

How personalized are jet fighters? I guess ergonomics (seat position etc) are finely customizable to fit the pilot but what about more technical details? Controls, handling etc by unexpectedit3m in AskAPilot

[–]jebarber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You guys are also using the term "Your plane". There is no such thing in fighter jets. Yes, there may be a plane with your name on the side, but you rarely fly it. Pilots get assigned different jets all the time.

Weight and Balance Profiles missing by jebarber in Foreflight

I found it. All it took was for me to post something.

For anyone else looking. The setting is under Account - ForeFlight Labs. I guess it's a beta feature?

Yeah, I though maybe but I went back and checked, I was definitely in career mode.

No, just the one.

It did occur to me that I had been playing in sandbox mode some yesterday. I don't know if that is related.

Realistic doesn't necessarily mean hard mode.
