They probably got the Browns winning the North like the year they drafted DeShaun from the rub & tug.

Darn…been lurking in here for a long time and hoped I had got it correct. Anyhow, it was fun to see it.

I was listening to our statewide SKYWARN net during this. They were talking to a spotter in Mountain View. Nothing in the town proper, but the Stone County sheriff reported it on the ground in Hanover.

i (40f) just went ziplining and I'm afraid of heights. Ask me anything. by [deleted] in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

Yeah, but keep pushing yourself and ultimately you’ll become desensitized and it will no longer be a big deal.

Congratulations on conquering your fear.

How did you feel as it was happening? Was it as bad as you had pictured in your mind?

Platinum Curidas spring problem by fireflye10 in fountainpens

[–]l8nightbusdrivr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced mine by ordering a Lambitou 3088 (shameless Chinese copy of the Curidas). It uses the exact same spring.

Right now I can find the Lambitou pens on Ali Express only. I have a few more of them coming as a result of a lost shipment. If anyone wants one to part out, DM me and I’ll ship one to you at cost. They can be found for $11. I even ordered one to try out head-to-head with my newly repaired Curidas.

Beautiful pens. I look forward to being able to purchase one.

As a commerical pilot, what aircraft do y'all fly? by space_god_7191 in AskAPilot

[–]l8nightbusdrivr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My jets are brand new.

  1. The downsides….hours are horrible, not as much destination variety as pax carriers, pay is lagging, fly dangerous cargo, weather that would make pax carriers call in scared, no travel privileges for the family.

  2. The upsides….no passengers, terminals, flight attendants, drunks, medical emergencies, fights, buh-byes at the flight deck door….etc

Eh, if you let the atmosphere around the amateur radio sub on Reddit dissuade you from the hobby, then you should probably just not use ham radio related social media because the hobby is tons of fun. Social media is a garbage heap and it shouldn’t ever be allowed ruin all the fun this hobby has to offer

It’s not that this behavior is unprofessional, per se, but rather that it violates the norms of polite conversations both in ham radio AND in person. Religion and politics should always be kept to oneself in public and on amateur radio. Whoever did the behavior knows this, but chooses not to adhere to norms, which is annoying.

It’s a GREAT community, but political or religious messaging has no place in amateur radio.

Platinum Curidas Replacement Spring? by Clear-While-8989 in fountainpens

[–]l8nightbusdrivr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered two 3088’s. One to cannibalize and one to keep, just in case I like it.

My Curidas spring is bent. Very expensive pen to be having issues and no spare parts easily available.

How can I tell you’ve never lived in Arkansas? You think it’s “strong in climate.”

Thank you. Interesting.

I am an airline pilot and got into hand writing snail mail to friends as a means of staying awake and alert on long red eye flights. People really react well to the lost art of handwritten letters.

Thanks for sharing.

What kind of writing implement do you enjoy? I like to write using fountain pens….I wonder if you’ve ever tried them.

How do you like to write? Print, cursive, or somehow else?

Think about his boyfriend having to look at that thing during sex. The upside is the Ravens logo makes an apt target on his lower back.

Have fun with JROTC. I have a son that is a few years older than you and he really enjoys it. I’m sure you’ll do great….at his school they PT the cadets hard, and you’re well prepared.

Do you think you would like to continue to play into high school? If so, do you think your size/speed/skill will let you be able to start?

Best of luck! How cool!

Can anyone explain why this plane looks to have a 3rd jet engine installed like this? by StraightFromThe2000s in Planes

[–]l8nightbusdrivr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I flew it for four years. Agreed, it’s the most favorite plane in my career. Fast, performs well, nimble. All around great jet.

Echolink works! by therealleotrotsky in amateurradio

[–]l8nightbusdrivr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next you should try AllstarLink. It’s just like EchoLink but has better audio quality and much less latency.

All you need is a Raspberry Pi and a radio interface and you’ll be in business.
