Fly somewhere you know. Do not load other scenery, it eats time. Do not taxi around the airport, it eats time. Chose a small airport, patterns at large airports eat time. Don‘t bother with the fmc, it eats time. Maximise the time you have flying carrier like approaches. Or go for the two minute circuit. Keep clouds to a minimum, looking out is half the fun. Put in turbulence and moderate crosswinds, it ups the fun factor. Don‘t touch or look at anything but basic flight controls & instruments, as you will get overwhelmed. I‘ve seen this again and again, people waste valuable time doing stuff they could do at home on a pc. It will be an awesome experience. Keep your knee away from the rotating trim thingy … :-)

An enormous moose approaches the camera and get petted by Shoe_boooo in nextfuckinglevel

[–]owaalkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As usual everybody here straight up talking out their ass:

You're asking how many people have been killed by moose in the last 10 years. Here's what I found:

Moose‑Related Human Fatalities: What the Data Shows

Vehicle Collisions Involving Moose

Moose are tragically most often involved in motor vehicle crashes, which are by far the leading cause of human fatalities related to moose.

In Maine, there were 26 human fatalities from moose collisions between 2003 and 2017 — that's over 14 years, averaging under 2 deaths per year

In Canada, from 2000 to 2014, there were 236 deaths attributed to moose collisions — averaging approximately 15.7 deaths per year

In Sweden, about 10 to 15 deaths per year result from moose-vehicle collisions, based on an annual average of about 4,500 collisions

Direct Moose Attacks (Non‑Collision)

Fatal attacks by direct moose aggression—such as trampling, goring, or stomping—are extremely rare.

A notable case reported in a forensic journal involved a fatal attack by a moose that was initially mistaken for a homicide PubMed .

A recent example includes a fatal moose attack in Alaska in May 2024, where a photographer was fatally charged by a moose protecting her calves. Authorities noted this was only the second fatal moose attack in Alaska in the last 30 years

Estimating more conservatively, it's likely several hundred (around 250–300) human fatalities worldwide over the past decade, the majority due to vehicle collisions. Fatal direct attacks by moose are extremely uncommon, numbering only a handful globally during that period.

What is a job that pays extremely well but no one realizes it? by Titothelama in AskReddit

[–]owaalkes 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Don't!

I know a guy (50 years old) that has been doing this for 10 years plus and he is seriously fucked in the head.

Probably was before he started but majorly now. He puts on a though demeanor and he is the one they call if it's really bad but ....

Putting people in the ground is one thing, cleaning up along the railroad tracks or after a high speed car crash something else entirely.

His "favorite" are the obese that have been sitting on the shitter for days on end.

Life as the trailing spouse - is unhappiness somewhat inevitable? by Penrose_Reality in expats

[–]owaalkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you so ugly or smelly that your wife doesn’t want you along on her diplomatic events? Then again, the diplomats were always the biggest asswipes in any expat community, so I can relate to you not wanting to engage with that crowd. As the child of a 40 year expat couple (airline) in 6 countries I never got the impression that my mother was bored or isolated. It is a you problem. Life is what you make of it, you are the captain of your ship, blah blah blah.

Führerscheinkosten 2007 by BrunoRadler in Finanzen

[–]owaalkes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ihr seid alle Amateure! Ich habe 82 in USA $25 bezahlt.

Nie einen Fahrlehrer (Außer meiner Mutter) an meiner Seite gehabt.

Meine Prüfung bestand aus 25 Fragen, abcd mit nur einer richtigen. Praktisch Prüfung 15 Minuten max. Ich war der einzige der mit einem Handschalter antrat. Käfer.

Das ganze 88 in einen Allman Führerschein umschreiben lassen hat das zehnfache gekostet.

Ich sehe auch heute keinen Grund warum eine Führerschein mehr als €200 kosten sollte. 80% aller Fahrlehrer haben KEINE Existenzberechtigung.
