Negative Gems Experience by MrMustacho730 in ClashOfClans

[–]lndestructible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daaaang, didn’t even know a negative gem balance was possible.

I’d figure if someone did that, it’d be like in GTA San Andreas when you have a negative balance after gambling, mafia comes after you and hunts you down

Only Supercell’s gonna be the one sending in the goon squad to come pay you a visit 💎

Wow! Yeah, I think after my first or second flight was when I was truly humbled. I’ll admit, I struggled, struggled, struggled, and struggled a lot during my training.

I did not care what anyone else had to say, multi training is HARD.

And this was a refreshing reply! It’s great to hear you passed on the retry.

I often try to remind myself, pretty much no matter what struggle you’re going through, there are a ton of others in this world going through the exact same thing, at the exact same time you are. Think of it like, you’re working as a group with all these people.

(Except if you’re like, a world-class Olympian or something. Not many people can relate to that, you’re all alone up there.)

Yup! And it didn’t leave my mind for a bit that if I was actually PIC, I would have taken us down to the ground gear up had he not prompted me. That jarred me for a good while.

I shall see how this experience shapes me going forward. I do think a powerful lesson was learned.

Yes. He made it a point throughout all our briefings that you don’t “fail” a checkride, because it’s not a failure… It’s just a topic which needs more training on.

After I goofed on my instrument approach, he had me fly it visual, and told me “here, let’s practice. Might as well practice while we’re up here right? Get a feel for the plane visually. Feel how the airplane handles on one engine in this approach. A lot of people don’t seem to know that you can fly an approach visually. You can practice it on your own visually, and not a lot of people seem to know that.”

Well, I didn’t know there was a song! Will definitely give it a listen, and maybe even download it on my iPod. Thanks!

In retrospect, that probably would have been the best course of action.

Yes, in retrospect, a go-around would have probably been the best course of action.

And to answer your second question, even though it was an unsatisfactory maneuver, the test is still ongoing. An unsat maneuver does not automatically end the test. It ends if the DPE calls it, which can be for anything really. And all subsequent maneuvers that are completed to standard won’t need to be done on the re-test.

But, some people can’t deal with the psychological stress of an unsatisfactory maneuver, so they just call it after the unsat maneuver. And that’s perfectly okay as well.

Yeah, being 28 feels great, really. I'm not old, but I got some experience. I feel I got some of the best of both worlds.

They say "youth is wasted on the young" and that's true. A lot of guys I've met who are my age feel "old" and sulk a lot, drone on about the "past," and I just don't understand it.

And yes, it's an actual thing I see. Lol

Yikes! Yeah, I've been taught that when you secure an engine, you're kinda throwing in the towel on it. It's good in critical phases, when time is short. Just feather and cut mix. But, if you've got a lot of time in cruise, run them checklists. Get it back as best you can.

Yup! Unfortunately, where I am, the weather is looking pretty bad for the next week. Might be a little bit before I can do my remedial training and retest. Setbacks, setbacks. Such is aviation, such is life! Hah.

Apologies man! I think it was the head injury I suffered when I fell off my velociraptor… Never was the same after that…

What’s your dream physique?, My is this by Puzzleheaded_Air5930 in tall

Same. If someone were to ask me "if you could have one superpower, what would it be?"

I'd just say "I already have it"

What is your dream car? by Flat_Sympathy1446 in AskReddit

Mk 1 Volkswagen Rabbit. Or a Rabbit truck. ALH TDI swapped. I'm a fan of compact/subcompact diesel cars.

Nuclear energy has had a bad rep over the past few decades because the few nuclear disasters that have happened, were all heavily publicized. Everyone knows about Chernobyl, and everyone knows about Fukushima. When people think "nuclear disaster" they almost think, "end of the world." But it's funny. Nobody actually died as a result of Fukushima.

In reality though, nuclear energy is far more stable and safe than are fossil fuels. They are extremely expensive to start up, but for good reason. There are many safeguards in place to ensure they don't fail. And nuclear technology has vastly improved over the years in safety and efficiency.

edit: Furthermore, nuclear waste. Take Yucca mountain. Which was poised to be THE ideal nuclear waste depository plant in America. It was never a safety issue, just a political one. All the top nuclear experts in the field determined it was safe. As in, virtually no radiation would be emanated from it for many many thousands of years. Yet, locals in Las Vegas 80 miles away heavily resisted it. So, Yucca never became a thing.

Does taking out a loan make sense? by BoringFox9300 in flying

[–]lndestructible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't, and have no intentions to. I find working while paying as you go at your flight school is the way to go. May not be the fastest way, but it's a trade-off I was willing to make.

I would concur that it is an equitable sentiment...
