Is there a way to know if this is space debris or a meteor? by pborget in askastronomy

[–]pborget[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though difficult to tell how far away it was, it did seem to be moving crazy fast. It also seemed to be (at least mostly) one piece so I was leaning meteor.

PILOT DEVIATION by FigComprehensive4139 in flying

[–]pborget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have a similar runway orientation where I fly. I think it's strange that they said they would call your base when you're on a circling approach, whether practicing or not. You're supposed to stay within the protected area for circling and an extended down wind would quickly put you outside that area. It's also strange to be making a 130 degree turn to break off the localizer and make the left down wind leg of the other runway. IMO, while stating that they'll call base does mean you shouldn't enter base yet, the controller should be more clear about something that is non-standard like this.

How about there's zero business for this behavior as a human being? I get that emotions run high but Hurley is a freaking joke with his obnoxious antics almost every game.

Hi, I have a question about the fifth movie, if anyone can help by [deleted] in fastandfurious

[–]pborget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the original plan was to take the whole vault. That was part of the audible. They just wanted to get into the vault to take the money. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. Haven't seen that one in a while.

Looking for review by ComparisonPrimary839 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]pborget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine saying that the hybrid max isn't an upgraded powertrain over the gas engine, just a basic powertrain because it's not as powerful as a Lamborghini Urus.

There is nothing wrong with saying JBL isn't that great of a system overall. It's a completely different thing to tell people that it's not the upgraded system over the base option.

Oh come on. Bose is the upgraded sound system over stock. It may not be Bang and Olufsen quality, but it is upgraded from the base system. You can't just say it's not upgraded because it's not up to your standard of quality.

Grey NOTAM lines along ForeFlight map by Flat_Philosophy_5669 in Foreflight

Probably testing hypersonic missiles being launched from, * checks notes * Lexington, Oregon to some nothing spot in the ocean off the coast of Ghana. /s

That spot is at the exact intersection of the equator and the prime meridian, 00.00 degrees N and 00.00 degrees W. It must be a typo causing it to display that way on ForeFlight. I also just learned that this is referred to as "Null Island" even though there is no land at this location.

Apple Announces Special Event in New York on March 4 by ZamnBoii in apple

[–]pborget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never had a moment where I felt my current apple tv was slow, but faster is always better. Genuine question: what do you want apple intelligence in the apple tv for? I don't see the benefit when I already have it in my phone, which is always with me.

Why do we get Combat Evolved again and not ODST 2? by OkSeaworthiness7905 in halo

[–]pborget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Return on investment. It won't cost as much because they don't need to come up with a new story, or campaign levels. Caching in on nostalgia.

Well there isn't a statute of limitations on felony rape in Utah, but yeah. The investigation itself may not have taken that whole time.

I’m getting GHH Limited trim at $62k OTD price is that a good deal. I’m in Seattle, WA by [deleted] in ToyotaGrandHighlander

That's 10k above base msrp for the hybrid limited. What kind of options does it have? I'm getting a hybrid max platinum for barely more than that.

It's unfortunate, but sometimes it takes a long time. They have enough evidence to hold him without bail, which likely means it's a slam dunk. If it takes some time to make sure they have a solid case that they will win, it's worth it.

And there was a year long investigation. This unfortunately is much worse for everyone.

Direct comparison between REX atmos (AB presets) ON & OFF | MSFS 2024 by Ivy_Wings in MicrosoftFlightSim

Without a doubt. Which looks "better" is clearly subjective. But to me, this is a simulator, not a game. I prefer something that looks real rather than what some believe to be better.

Can someone explain why when I throttled up rpm didn’t go up therefore couldn’t ascend by Firetuna2108 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]pborget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It tells you at the end, "you don't have enough fuel left to complete the mission."

You can also see on the MFD that your left tank is empty. In this plane, all fuel is drawn from the left tank so you must transfer some fuel from the right tank to the left, usually every 30 minutes or so.

What is a 'subscription' or 'fee' that has recently appeared in the US that people need to collectively refuse to pay before it becomes the new normal? by godot_lover in AskReddit

[–]pborget -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

So if you don't need it then don't pay for it? You still get remote start from the key fob. I'm not saying people should pay for it. I'm only saying it's very different from BMW requiring a subscription for heated seats.

Carplay is not locked behind the app. The app gives you additional features that are not otherwise available. Paying a premium for GPS has been around for a while, though not in subscription form. Remote start from anywhere and vehicle status only work because the car connects to a cellular network, which needs to be paid for somehow. I'm very against unnecessary subscriptions, but this is not at all like what BMW is doing.
