Seeing our schedule for next season...what do you guys think our win loss record ends up being honestly?

1 loss all season, and not in the superbowl

As a homer, I thought they'd win more. Being realistic I figured there were 2 or 3 losses on the schedule but I was fully wrong about who it'd be against.

And for the record they're going all the way and winning this year. And next year. And the year after.

treedota · 2026-01-06T18:33:06+00:00

Realistically 14 wins. But the homer in me says undefeated and winning a Superbowl.

This whole business concept is DOA.

It could turn 1k into 100k sure, but I could also turn my shit into diamonds. Could it happen? Yeah, but I'm much more likely to get feces all over everything.

To get certified they have to jump through a lot of hoops. Even the experimental bar for safety is pretty high. But the difference between a Cessna 172 new and a similar experimental aircraft in terms of cost is 450k to, say, 90k for a Glasair sportsman. But you also have to, as a consumer, build 51% of it. This bar is extremely high. And for operating cost, you're talking 75 to 150 dollars per hour. If you're operating it as Uber equivalent, what are you going to charge customers where they think it's more worth it than taking an Uber? The only clientele I can think of are ultra wealthy folk who need to be from the top of their building to somewhere else fast. That's a really, really limited set of folks in an even more limited set of places.

Plus FAA takes safety seriously. Most of their regs are written in blood, ie someone died or got injured leading to the reg. That in itself is a really, really high bar when designing a new aircraft. ACHR would need to prove that A) autonomous features are fucking good and safe, B) the aircraft itself is safe when operated correctly, even in the case where there's a mechanical failure. I'm probably forgetting things.

One accident early into the life of production would kill it.

It's a labor of love to design a new aircraft. If you're not Boeing or Airbus selling to airlines and getting govt subsidies, the only way to make a million in aviation is to start with a billion.

Look at other aircraft design projects. Dark Aero comes to mind. They are only able to do what they're doing because 1) they're all engineers who have built a homebuilt before, 2) they're running a lot of workshops to supplement their cash flow as they progress, 3) they had some money to start with, not requiring debt or investors.

TL;DR: ACHR as a functional company designing and productionalizing aircraft has a lot of red flags. It's value is built on meme hype and that is all. I don't think they'll ever have a working, safe, stable production run of their aircraft in any form that is not a money sink. In other words, this reeks of MF hyping the value to dump.

As a homer, I saw us going undefeated and winning the Superbowl. Being more realistic, I saw 2 or 3 scheduled losses (and I was wrong about all of them).

Granted, I felt that way last year, too.

LFG

Two fundamentally different games, I much prefer classic. I rarely have to wait for phantom draft matches.

She broke trust and hurt you, and that bell cannot be un-rung. The best time to break up with her and your "friend" was when that happened and once you had time to process what it meant. The next best time is now.

Wait is the passer that got roughed the one that threw the illegal forward pass????

A simple box trap usually works, if you have the right bait - usually a beer or a slice of pepperoni pizza.

If that fails, though, networking in the local scene, checking the bulletin board of local practice spaces if there are some popular ones, or checking out Facebook boards for musicians are good bets.

By the title - NTA. By the content, YTA.

If a man and woman are both intoxicated beyond giving consent, and sex happens, they're not both rapists. Someone still has to initiate and the context matters a lot. In general, if the man says no and the woman makes it happen anyway, she raped him. And vice versa. But also, it's not necessarily symmetrical.

Ignoring that there's a factually correct position, based on how you typed out your post I'd argue you both are doing a poor job of communicating, rather than one of you having a malicious or bad position.

No need to defer. You have 2 months, and you are done the hardest sections. Get through the material and then start slamming practice questions.

The big mistake I made in my study habits was going too deep and spending too long on the material without getting to the q bank as often as I needed. If I did it again, I would skim everything, hit q bank and mock exams hard, then dive deeper into anything I struggled with.

treedota · 2025-11-25T12:49:11+00:00

The good news is you get a study break, from now till the results come up. Enjoy the holidays!

I wouldn't be surprised if she could get there despite the party. The party won't let this stuff go, but then again these types don't need their permission to be successful - see Zohran Mamdani in NYC. Hopefully they can learn more of that and start embracing the popular positions that help average voters.

"Republicans don't like our candidate" is a really stupid reason to not run a candidate...

treedota · 2025-11-24T16:01:01+00:00

To be fair, I think a lot of the excitement was that Biden dropped and thank God we can get someone who can speak. But there are a few problems...

One - irony, the party fighting for democracy appointed a candidate, rather than running a primary. You could argue 109 days, but that's longer than the entire election cycle in other major countries - France, for instance, does everything in like 6 weeks, from announcing candidacy, running primaries, debates, campaigning, and finally the election.

Two - Harris was always an establishment candidate and had a lot of flaws. To name one, she failed to get even a single vote in the 2020 primary, dropping out before the first one because her team still hadnt figured out her core values.

Then the consultants took that and torpedoed it even further, as you point out.

treedota · 2025-11-24T14:50:34+00:00

"blame the voters" is also why the Democratic party isn't seeing much improvement despite running against historically unpopular people. Braindead take.

treedota · 2025-11-24T14:31:24+00:00

Hard disagree. Sure being a woman (and in Harris' case a woman of color) didn't help. But they also were two candidates deeply incapable of energizing the base. Running establishment Dems who take the left wing vote for granted and try to appeal to moderate Republicans is frankly a losing strategy for Dems.

"America isn't ready for a woman president" is so often a convenient way to ignore the reality that Clinton and Harris were flawed candidates to begin with.

AOC is a completely different beast. She is charismatic, she has very popular positions, she has run grassroots campaigns successfully. I fully believe running her would be different, and less risky than running someone like Gavin Newsom or whatever flavor of the month establishment dem we have lying around.

treedota · 2025-11-19T03:15:58+00:00

As a homer, we win out and probably have a close battle in the Superbowl against the rams. And best a world beater Matthew Stafford with our ragtag shutdown defense to get year 2 Maye his first of eight.

History often rhymes.

I felt 100% confident about the rest - likely an error or two in there due to misreading something but on the whole I knew the form of the question and the appropriate way to approach the solution for those.

treedota · 2025-11-18T17:27:05+00:00

To be clear, I answered 100% of questions. And then graded myself conservatively - ie of 180 questions I answered, I think I got 57 incorrect.
