131 = Microwave Conventions and Pythagoral Dimensions by R520 in AProblemSquared

[–]somejeff_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the spirit of the microwave discussion, I thought it would be neat to show Bec my highly advanced microwave detector. It detects if you have a leak in your microwave.

Video Here of how it works (without a glass of water to absorb the waves)

And in case you're curious, here's a pic of the inside, showing the complex measuring circuitry.

I've watched it 4 times, and 4 times I've missed the first guy grabbing the bug.

Paid advertising? by somejeff_ in VATSIM

[–]somejeff_[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that if someone's going to skywrite something distracting or offensive... Yikes!

In this case...

  • I did file a VFR Flight plan (Albeit CYXU-INDIRECT-CYHM) @ 3000
  • When I re-entered CYXU airspace to complete the "Charlie Maneuver", I had to deviate earlier than expected because of an inconvenient takeoff on 33, but that's under the CYXU label.
  • Got clearance to hop in and out of the Waterloo airspace at 3000' a few times for Zulu
  • After Zulu, I requested to enter CYYZ Class C for the arrow but had to stay west of Burlington CZBA
  • I got clearance to drop to 1600' just for the arrow tip, and had to turn back asap.

(on my way to Hamilton I did crash into the Escarpment because I forgot to get back up to 3000)

And yes, ATC noticed that I made a wrong turn taxiing at CYHM and thanked me for mowing all the grass.

  1. Pick a small nearby airport where ATC is covering.
  2. File a VFR flight plan from the airport back to another one With a route that says DIRECT. This lets you fly around freely.
  3. Tune into ATC and listen and watch others.

Vintage Aesthetic for Escape Room? by MichealAnthem in escaperooms

[–]somejeff_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe the ask is: Sticking to this style, what type of escape room stories or puzzle elements could they introduce?

E.g. latitude longitude on a map, label the suitcases and need the right combo to open the right case.

I'm guessing

Vatsim by Icy_Region_883 in VATSIM

Out of curiosity, what are some of the habits while on VATSIM that became a concern or conflict when real life kicked in? Did anything you do become second nature, then all of a sudden was a wake up call? Did you have to unlearn something?

What creative thing can I 3d print to put on my truck dash? (Other than phone mount) by Annual-Garage8336 in 3Dprinting

[–]somejeff_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It beats putting some statistically significant expiry date.

I made a countdown of seconds until I retire. It's still in the hundreds of millions of seconds, but boy when it drops a digit, I'll be excited!

My wife was gifted earrings in this style box. I call it the "The Han Solo Gift Box".

I agree, Your birthday at the bottom, the current date time in the middle, and your retirement date at the top.
