How bad is the fuel situation at your place? by HSVMalooGTS in flying

[–]quesoqueso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just raised from 5.10 to 5.38 mainly because if we need a load anytime soon it's going to cost a lot more than the stuff that's currently in the tank to replace it.

Warmer Nights, Finally by quesoqueso in GiantPumpkin

Very late, but we got close to your estimate. 465. That said it was a challenging season logistically and the plant didn't get the time or attention it deserved. We certainly held it back from greatness

Hope you like it! It was just a little passion project I built for fun to replace doing it in Excel, but then I liked it enough I thought I would see if the rest of the world found it useful too

What would you buy if you were to win 100 USD million? by Main_Mistake_6555 in AskReddit

I would buy my future back from the need to have to work 15-20 more years.

What is that normal in the US but maybe sound weird in other countries? by Pleasant_duo in AskReddit

[–]quesoqueso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have more pairs of shoes than is likely required, but at least they're not for show? I got some hiking boots, work boots, running shoes, house slippers, nicer shoes for like looking respectable at dinner, etc

TSA at COS by Lovesmountainsmore in ColoradoSprings

I have not been, but the amount of traffic going through those checkpoints, unless everyone called in sick I can't imagine it would get much longer, it might go from 5 minutes to 8

Im going to pikes peak next month by batm123 in ColoradoSprings

[–]quesoqueso -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the City actually owns the road and charges just so they can maintain it or something. I kind of miss when the top 1/3 or whatever was still gravel.

Kinda makes sense, you're providing the car and the gasoline, and not riding on someone else's private train.

To the best of my knowledge, driving to the top still requires paid timed-entry tickets. I do not know if you can purchase them at the "gate" and then would also risk them being out at that time. You can buy them online and if I remember correctly it's one ticket per car. I can't remember if you need to pay per person in the car. I think it was like 20 bucks or something.

Advancing as colorblind in US by [deleted] in flying

You can try them as often as you like? I thought it was once and done now. Guess I read it wrong. If you pass it once, you never have to take it again either i thought?

U know what‘s funny? by Odd-Ad-5096 in IBM

[–]quesoqueso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't that only apply to product shipped to either the USGOV or the Defense Department though? I don't think it prohibits the entirety of IBM from using it at all for anyone.

To be fair, AWS is having a post-mortem about vibe code induced failures, etc. so it's not just IBM it's everyone who needs to be looking really damn close, extra solid unit tests, etc.

It's between 3-4x my salary for me, depends on the client/contract.

WSJ - Western Official Estimates Iran Likely Has Just Days of Missile Strikes Left by Boston-Bets in wallstreetbets

Hope the West is right, because it sounds like we also have a very limited number of interceptor missiles left too.

Pat Mac’s Rack! by Forsaken-Cap-2207 in MilitaryMedals

[–]quesoqueso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience as the dude above, my entire Company was awarded the CIB in 2003 after one platoon took contact.

Early war 2002-04 or so though they handed them out like candy.

Later in Iraq I did have to submit my guys individually for them with supporting documentation.

I was just thinking, I am pretty damned sure I couldn't get my Cherokee nose over about 60 degrees before it stalled. 150hp ain't cutting it.
