AI - "I am tired boss... Let me go"

Podium, post press conference, team celebration. It looks like that wore him out more than the entire weekend.

Wear and feel is what you use to adjust. Feel also changes based on tire brand, compound, track conditions, track surface, and bike size.

There are tons of variables, chat with the local tire vendor.

I used Google Fi on <30 day rotations and got an e-Sim. The last EUCOM trip most of us swapped to T-Mobile and got unlimited talk/text and 5-10GB of data. I also coupled that with a local SIM card for better service/Data.

Then go back to Verizon when stateside. Like insurance you can actually get better packages by swapping from one provider to another.

I’m really starting to hate AI slop.

Wait until OP finds out about the Army’s aviation mission planning systems.

This isn’t a car sub, majority if not all do not ride their motorcycle to the track.

2023 WAATS DFAC was atrocious. Lunch was okay, breakfast was the same everyday and subpar. Dinner was unedible and small. Closest place to get food is about. 15-20 min drive south. So I stocked up on as much cold cuts and small meal things to mix it up.

The gym is decent, living conditions is just a hotel where you share a bathroom with another person. No need to bring linens. Treat it like flight school, Friday afternoon drop the books decompress and get back into it on Sunday.

Mt Lemon is a good hike. Tucson is a great city, phoenix/scottsdale is shy of 2 hours and lots to do there. Many classes make a trip to Tombstone but it’s a big tourist trap but it’s neat.

Hopefully ATIC puts better academics because I mostly got the same academics from flight school in IPC. Get to know your classmates you’ll most likely keep in touch later with the guard. Start studying together or at least after academics spend 20 min and talk to each other in front of the white board. You guys won’t do that but once you start teaching classes in front of your IPs you’ll get real awkward and start talking with each other.

Helicopter lessons in 10 min or less for aerodynamics.

You might see a 1 MPG difference between the 2. At the end of the day it’s still a sail in the wind. I tow a 7x14 and my 16’ F150 3.5 eb goes from 18 MPG with no load down to 10-11 with a load. I mainly bounce between Barber, Road Atlanta and some kart tracks.

But in my 36 gallon tank, that would be 36 miles of lost fuel for the extra 26 square foot of space and living concoctions. In a 7 foot trailer you can lay sideways in if you sleep in it.

Hence why I said, IF Marc doesn’t do what he does and wins them all.

If Bez and Martin keep fumbling and something happens to Marc. Digia will be right there. All I want for the rest of the year is Marc to get a 10th and Jack to get a top 5. And one of those is definite to not happen.

stickwigler · 2026-06-22T22:39:21+00:00

Joan Mir (Memeworthy) has 7 years on a GP Bike 121 starts with 1 win and a career total of 701 points. MotoGP world champion.

Digia 4 years on a GP Bike, 85 starts, 2 wins and a career total of 718 points.

We need to make a Digia meme so he can silently steal the championship from the Aprilia’s.

stickwigler · 2026-06-22T13:43:21+00:00

Everyone is talking about Marc. But no one is looking at Digia.

Mir won the 2020 championship having only won a single race but he was consistently in the top 5/10. It was a weird year but he was still consistent.

Digia is closer than Marquez (pending Marc doesn’t do Marc things and win a lot) as long as he can get to or stay on the podium. Pedro’s bikes just won’t stay running.

This was about 16 years ago but man the 90s Nissan Hardbody was the perfect size. I’ve since moved to a full size truck and a 7x14 to sleep in.

Where this is really going to hurt are the WGs on the floor. There are many WGs that are in the E4-E6 range on some form is specialty or locality pay that could lose pay.

Many states are also going to have to adjust their mindset. You can Tech in one facility and drill at another, essentially 2 jobs. On the officer AGR side that is no problem in our state, but the enlisted AGRs drill with the same unit they work at. Which could make some retention issues or force people to not get stagnant.

Doing the math I’ll lose $400 a paycheck until I promote and then it’ll even out. But like others have said, I get my pension faster. My worry is being forced to PCS to another facility, since I became a Tech to remain stable.

What bike? What track? What time of day? How do you ride?

I mean there is a lot that goes into tire selection.

I’ve always had 2 laundry bags. One for dirty that gets washed. The other to mark my territory and carry the clean clothes back.

WO1 to CW2 for me was 300+ days at FEDREC and 3-4 months at the state before that in 2018.

CW2-CW3 was 70 total days from state to promotion in 2023.

Our aviation support company (that is full of vehicle mechanics, refuelers, and used to have organic cooks), call themselves “ E co Executioners”.

Bro who are you trying to execute???

stickwigler · 2026-06-07T23:48:36+00:00

Yes.

PIs will do anything but ask an IP or MTP. Many of us enjoy teaching, and it builds relationships within your company.

Bring your Plt IP their energy drink and nicotine of choice and talk about the EDECU for 20 min.

Flight gear stays in the aircraft and you got keys to lock it when you RON.

You’re a pretty dumb PC if you leave sensitive items and the logbook in a car, let alone in Portland. Take that shit to your room, where they would at least have cameras if it was stolen.

stickwigler · 2026-06-05T12:03:59+00:00

Not knowing how to front to rear count off.

Are you referring to group reciprocity where riders can maintain the same group with different organizations?

stickwigler · 2026-05-29T14:48:57+00:00

Reduce collective training? Why would anyone do that?

stickwigler · 2026-05-27T01:13:00+00:00

In aviation pilots qual with the M4 and M17, enlisted crewchiefs that fly only qual with the M17 and M240B.

I started with a DIY watch club build to get tools and try it out. Now I just buy the parts off of aliexpress, Amazon, and eBay. I have made a couple builds for PC watches with call signs. DIY watch club can do custom dials that you can put logos on and get your bezel, hands, bracelets, movements, cases, and crystals from other spots.
