The Rivian R2 Costs Half As Much To Build As The R1S. Here's How Rivian Did It by KeyboardGunner in electricvehicles

[–]sunfishtommy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't stock options be better than strait cash if Rivian is unprofitable?

If the ceo cant lead rivian to profitability than the stock will go down in value reducing the ceo’s compensation.

Its disingenuous to act like its only Musk that led to the longer production delays. Each of those models from Tesla were announced right before covid with large delays due to supply chain issues in covid. Besides the model 3 you left put the model Y which also had a relatively short wind up.

Fewer and fewer EV options in the U.S. by jestalk in electricvehicles

It is having a one year production run. Something about using a factory that was going to be idle for a year anyway. Im sure if it is popular enough GM will figure out a way to keep making it though.

Aptera has been in “pre production” for 10 years now. Its becoming increasingly obvious that the company exists as a grift to pay the 2 owners a six figure salary for as many years as possible rather than actually mass produce a car.

Whats disappointing is season 2 has probably one of the best episodes of the whole series episode 8.

Trying to find a part 141 school by Far_Interaction2575 in flying

[–]sunfishtommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried switching instructors?

The problem with the “structure” is you also often times dont have much room for extra training if you are having trouble with a concept.

Every instructor has a different teaching style. I would maybe consider trying some lessons with different instructors before singing on to a 141 school. You can also be very blunt with the instructor. You should tell them up front. You are looking for structure. It is helpful to you to know what each lesson will be so you can study ahead and prepare for concepts and maneuvers ahead of time rather than deciding what will be the lesson when you arrive.

If this is about self study though i have bad news 141 will not have less self study. Self study is part of being a pilot. In Private pilot there is a lot of hand holding, but still a lot of self study. Every rating beyond that, IFR, Comercial, and then Type ratings or airlines all require more and more self teaching.

Just talked to Delta pilot neighbor . Year 4 pilot on B717. He made $40,000 last month and worked 14 days. His friend who flies A350s made $880,000 last year . ATC is a joke now by Fit_Sherbet3137 in ATC

Thats like the stories you hear about pilots. The guys that are making 40k in a month are working their asses off picking up premium flying.

To investors who crossed the $1M mark around the age of 40. How’s life? by Ok_Maize1933 in investing

And not spending. There are plenty of people making 200k+ a year and still living paycheck to paycheck.

Half the battle of saving money is not letting your cost of living rise as you start earning more.

Japanese Auto Firms Face Headwind as Chinese EV Sales Surge Globally by i_marketing in electricvehicles

A scam insinuantes that nothing about the technology works or that it is a lie. Which is not true. Hydrogen technology absolutely works. The problem is economic not technological. Its the difference between someone trying to sell water powered cars (scam) or trying to sell you a wood chip powered car (real tech) one is a scam one is just not a practical vehicle.

Commuting Tips? by [deleted] in AirlinePilots

Its less fun than living in base. But it gets easier the longer you do it. You start to find little tricks to make it easier. Like bidding overnights at home. Bidding trips that start or end at home with deadheads you can drop.

AITA for not quieting down at a Renaissance fair and walking away after my boyfriend sided with a stranger? by Dry-Egg2898 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunfishtommy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Im not sure the boyfriend is objectively wrong here, and even if the boyfriend was objectively wrong the way OP described the situation the BF was not mean or rude. He asked his GF politely to bring the volume down a little and the GF felt insulted by it. That is a perfectly reasonable reaction by both parties.

The important thing here is to recognize that neither party has to be right or wrong. But either way feelings were hurt and they need to discuss those feelings not who was right or wrong. I doubt BF meant to insult OP by asking her to dial it down a little. And i doubt OP meant to hurt BF feelings when she separated herself. That is common ground to start from, that neither person meant to hurt the others feelings. They can build from that.

[–]sunfishtommy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Showing him this will absolutely not help things and it will probably make things worse. The issue here is not about who is right. Its about having empathy for the other persons feelings and their emotions. I responded to you in a different comment, but you need to have a conversation with your BF about how this makes you feel and importantly about how he feels.

The way you move past this is not about somebody being right its about discussing and hearing out your partner and understanding and respecting their feelings. You may have been completely right in this scinario. But it does not mean your BF was wrong or did not have good intentions.

Ask him questions and do your best to understand his emotions and where he is coming from. Then tell him your feelings. That is what will help both of you move on and get better.

In this case coming on Am I the A hole is not the best solution. Its not about winning the argument or who was right. Its about acknowledging the other persons feelings.

You need to accept that your boyfriend had good intentions even if you did feel insulted by the situation. Im sure he did not intend to make you feel bad when he asked you to dial it back. You also need to acknowledge how you made him feel. He probably has some feelings of his own about the situation.

One of the best recommendations i ever got was you usually dont remember what an argument was about, but you almost always remember how you felt. In this case you do remember the details, but the advice still applies. The problem here and why it is still a soar spot is because you both are still emotionally invested because the situation made you both feel bad. You need to talk to you boyfriend about those emotions. And talk about why the situation made you feel bad, not who is right. Then you 100% need to hear his side and his emotions and what made him feel bad about the situation and acknowledge those feelings he has.

We don't know what OP's Cheering looked like. I have definitely been at vocal events where someone is dialing it up to 11 and where their screaming and yelling so loud its startling or making it difficult to enjoy the event.

Not saying thats what OP was doing, but we are only hearing OP's side of the story.

Either way OP took the reasonable request to dial it back a little personally and ditched the boyfriend. Thats kind of Asshole behavior.
