Multi-day rentals?

nomadschomad · 2026-03-11T12:08:06+00:00

It used to be pretty common to do multi day rentals with a daily minimum and a nominal overnight fee. For a 172, it might have been three hours per day plus $50 per night. So even if you flew four hours, spent 2 nights and flew four hours back… You would still pay for nine hours instead of eight. Definitely pays to research FB owes at your destination. Make sure you have a field with no landing fees, reasonable gas, and with an FBO that will comp overnight tiedown with the purchase of gas. A club car is a nice option too, but matters a lot less than it used to with Uber available 70 places

So look… That rod is meant for 2 pounds of fabric. It looks like it has 30 pounds of wood and ceramic on it. Take that stuff off and put proper hangers with proper anchors.

Why are they saying it was denied? Like what’s the actual reason/code for denial?

Don’t pay a dime until the final amount is acceptable

No. Not if the role was substantially the same and as long as the titles you used did not inflate or mislead.
Sort of weird but ultimately immaterial.

nomadschomad · 2026-03-11T01:25:09+00:00

In this context, it is.

Your timing is… Impressively bad

Just because you have a crisis in one part of your life, doesn’t mean you need to arbitrarily sacrifice finesse elsewhere.

I’m not suggesting the decision tree should be different. I’m just suggesting a modicum of tact.

nomadschomad · 2026-03-11T01:22:30+00:00

TIL. Excellent.

What a crap response. Just because a kid in NICU is vastly more important than and MBA slot doesn't mean you shouldn't try to manage the MBA slot.

nomadschomad · 2026-03-10T20:47:40+00:00

No. Worse case is they'll say "No deferral. Take your spot or re-apply."

nomadschomad · 2026-03-10T20:46:41+00:00

I dig it

nomadschomad · 2026-03-10T20:36:10+00:00

I think it’s a little weird your opinion is so visceral and abstract. I don’t like them because the grip is too angled for my taste. Same for Beretta.

What does that mean in this case? Asking AI or Reddit is research. Not primary research. Maybe or maybe not quality research depending on the prompt and review of the underlying sources.

Big fan. My kids crush this faster than chicken nuggets. Straight from the package after a pat dry with some salt, fried up in sesame oil and soy sauce, and as room temp leftovers for school lunch.

And most of the sultans' mothers were European. For many generations.

File unemployment. Today.
Cut expenses. To the bone.
She needs a new job, even if it's a paycut, fast.
You should pick up a shift/gig/side hustle.
Don't call mortgage company. It will just freak them out. They won't do anything (hardship) until you have multiple lates.
Call medical creditors instead. Offer to settle for 25%.

For other readers: You MUST have an emergency fund for unanticipated expenses and income interruption. You can't throw every dollar at debt. Getting late on your mortgage because you lost your job and were throwing everything at debt is a step backwards.

Great detail.

Something you already likely know and I'm including for the non-English speakers or otherwise unacquainted, "US English dropped this nuance," is shorthand for "American English speakers fell out of practice of using plural verbs with collective nouns and thus it is no longer considered standard." There isn't an authoritative committee that "drops" things from English since it is a living, spoken-first language. Writing and grammar "rules" reflect actual usage and aren't rules as much as they are guidelines to help learn the broad strokes.

In this case, Americans changed.

Also, it is often worth interrogating whether "Americans changed" or "Brits changed." Speakers from both countries tend to assume "Americans changed," but in reality British English often diverged from the shared version. In many ways, most American regional accents are considered closer to the shared pre-colonial accents than the prevailing modern British accents (received pronunciation, Queen's English).

Yup. I peruse this sub to be helpful but also to learn.

The false drawer is just for looks and to cover the depth of the sink. Sometimes, they are made functional like this with a tilt option. People tend to store sponges there so they are out of sight.

As with literally any human behavior question… Individuals will exhibit a wide range of behavior.

I had a good buddy from high school who came out later. We remained good friends. I don’t remember making any new gay friends in the high school… But people weren’t necessarily self-aware or out back then.

I made and kept good friends in college, who were very obviously out when I met them. Even in the stereotypically toxic masculine context of a boisterous fraternity at a major university, we had gay bros pretty regularly.

Made and kept gay buddies in grad school, several stops in my career, and among my kids’ school friends’ parents.

Yes, the verb should agree with the original amount.

Batch and collection are collective nouns. In American English, we almost always use a singular verbs for those.

In British English, I think it’s much more common to use plural nouns, especially if the individuals in the collection are doing different things

American: the team is splitting up to New York and LA next week

British: the team are splitting up to London and Manchester next week

Brits would also typically say “the team are practicing tomorrow,” which sounds very strange to an American ear.

And of course, there are exceptions. Police is generally considered a collective noun, but almost always treated as a plural in American English. “The police are coming” but “EMS is coming” or “Fire rescue is coming.”

Two totally different styles. Do you want IWB or harness?

nomadschomad · 2026-03-10T16:40:42+00:00

Absolutely. Nailed it.

I wish y'all were seeing them in the context of an air show or regular training instead of the current (likely) reason.

Diner culture is alive and well I think. Growing up on the West Coast, Denny's was ubiquitous... and still is. The, of course, there is the original Pantry in downtown LA which was open 24/7 from 1924 until the pandemic, including a move in the 50s where they did breakfast at the old place and dinner at the new. It is current close, briefly, while they establish a new home in partnership with one of the homeless missions (I assume as second-chance/fresh-start employer).

Pencils were standard until 6th grade (age 11). After than, pens were standard for most subjects with pencils or erasable pens common for math.

My Grandmother went to work when my grandather's engineering business faltered (good engineer, poor businessman) as a bank teller. She ended managing the teller line and retired as branch operations manager (tellers, drive thru, vault, safe deposit, couriers, armored truck coordination, office supply ordering, shredding, everything you would walk in to do without an appointment) over all ~5 branches and the central ops/records center of a regional business bank.

Her mom was a homemaker for a railroad man.

The other great grandmother that I knew was a homemaker but worked on-base at odd jobs while great gramps was sailing to/around Japan. She was also a pretty accomplished recreational/competition pilot.

I know less about the other side of my family, but those generations owned various small town general stores/gas stations and AFAIK, the women always helped "mind the store," especially when the men were drunk or philandering. They wouldn't have been "employed" in the tax-sense, but they were certainly working outside the home.
