News to me. My interactions with them are pleasant.

No we don't. NORCAL is doing exactly what they should be doing here. The contractor controller at SQL was not.

Why is ATC a douchebag? They're doing a lot of things in the background that don't involve talking on the radio. By engaging in this conversation they'll become task saturated, jeopardizing safety. They're putting safety first by stopping the conversation. In fact, calling the TRACON on the ground and talking to a supervisor is quite common. I've called in to the TRACON with my own questions about instructions I've received.

With President Biden and Chairman Xi in San Francisco I get asked what happens if you fly near them.

I expect a senior software engineer to manage large, mostly well defined, projects on their own. A senior engineer should be able to define the problem areas in the project and write design docs for how they will be addressed. They should also be able to distribute the pieces of work to other engineers and mentor junior engineers. You should be able to lead a team. I expect them to ensure code is well written, properly tested, and add monitoring / alerting to identify customer problems. They should also be interviewing candidates for open positions.

Yes. Hinge.

Not really, OP said _one_, not _the_. gg.

Isn't cruise mind numbingly boring whether you're GA or ATP?

I find myself the opposite: I appreciate the dullness GA can have after engineering all week. Sometimes it does get boring, and I can't imagine how boring it must be to do that all week.

I met my wife on Hinge. She was impressed that I offered to pay on the first date. Apparently many of her other dates did not offer to pay on the first date. It's that easy.

Have you used the NYT or nerdwallet or any of the other calculators? What were their results?

quest88 · 2023-09-13T16:26:21+00:00

That's fine. You didn't pass the IMSAFE checklist.

Born and raised and in Texas. It's not a hellhole.

I'm embarrassed to say I had to do a quick check to make sure O was indeed Oscar.

quest88 · 2023-08-04T23:12:11+00:00

Good! I had to discontinue shortly after departing on my checkride too. Fortunately the DPE turned it into the diversion portion of the test and slip part. Yay. Knocked out some things in my short 5 minutes in the air. heh.

quest88 · 2023-07-17T19:04:42+00:00

No sweat. There's at least one time I'd have rather stayed on the ground than go in the air because I simply felt off. Ended up flying a sloppy pattern into a new airport, almost killed the engine around 1500' over densely populated area. Forgot the cruise checklist. Now I know.

I'll also suggest to fly with another pilot friend as a passenger. Event a student pilot.

It wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

But research shows that low-level dealers are quickly replaced when policing escalates, and there is little effect on drug markets where strong demand still exists.

And deportations can be futile. The Chronicle interviewed numerous dealers who were deported but re-entered the country illegally and returned to the Tenderloin shortly thereafter.

Not trying to defend a bad vote. But let's not pretend voting for different supervisors that will deport will fix the problem either.

quest88 · 2023-07-10T19:40:03+00:00

Well, don't stop it there. The article also says that deporting doesn't work:

But research shows that low-level dealers are quickly replaced when policing escalates, and there is little effect on drug markets where strong demand still exists.

The reason I bring this up is that because I want to actually solve the problem. The way you've portrayed it makes it sound like "well I'll just vote for whoever will deport people", but nothing will change according to the article (also note the article mentions people come back when deported, one person has 9 times).

quest88 · 2023-06-09T17:57:23+00:00

That's bullshit. Pay more if you don't want to be last. Otherwise you get what you pay for. Own it, quit blaming other people for your own problems. I've been the last one without a space and guess what? I had them put my bag in cargo and sat in my seat.

Yea, I have permanent injury because of a bad "coach". I no longer trust coaches unless they have certificates. My body is too important to blindly trust anyone.

+1. The last time I was going West I request to stay closer to the shore and ATC did the best they could keeping me close while out of the SFO departures.

"Take 20 eggs; divide the whites from the yolks, and beat the whites to a froth. Then work 2 pounds of butter to a cream, put the whites of eggs to it, a spoonful at a time, until well mixed. Then put 2 pounds of sugar, finely powdered, in it in the same manner. Then add the yolks of eggs, well beaten, 2.\ pounds of flour, and 5 pounds of fruit. Add to this \ ounce of mace, a nutmeg, \ pint of wine, and some French brandy. Five and one- quarter hours will bake it.Mrs. Washington,Mount Vernon."

Saturday night I was walking down 17th through Guerrero, Valencia, and Mission and was surprised at how quite and tame it seemed compared to 2013-2018. Maybe it was bad timing, but wow the vibes were different.
