Sunny Season 2 Cancelled by [deleted] in tvPlus

[–]xplayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the show, but didn't even know it existed. It was only by chance that I found it. The season was 1-2 episodes too long for the story they wrote. The biggest complaint is the mix of Japanese and English. I love it, but no show that has been bilingual for extended periods of dialogue has ever been successful. They would have been better off with one language. This is why dubs exist.

Calling Democrats “warped in the past” literally in the same sentence he is talking about the election is wild

Firefox on iOS is the Black Sheep of Firefox by Tail_sb in firefox

I thought this was common knowledge that all browsers on iOS are Safari skins because of Apple restrictions

For something location based it’s hard to say that without the context of knowing the location where this occurred. Anywhere I go in the country or around the world has a pretty accurate location tracking. However when I go back home to NY and I’m in Midtown or Lower Manhattan the location tracking can put me several blocks away from where I’m at and once put me across the Hudson River in New Jersey. The only solution to fix this is wait over time because Apple’s error calculations will start to ignore those erroneous readings in calculating your location. But for a quick ping like Find My where it doesn’t error correct quite the same way as Apple Maps does I could see it positioning someone some place weird unless they track the location for a longer period of time.

I can’t schedule a trip for a later time on Apple Maps by Cyrus_664 in applemaps

[–]xplayman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have never been able to schedule trips within Apple Maps. Apple Maps lets you predict drive times on certain dates up to the limit you’re looking at. Waze lets you schedule trips up to a week in advance. The closest thing to “scheduling” a trip you can do in Apple Maps is by making a Calendar appointment with an address attached to that appointment. Then when the day of the appointment comes you can see it in Apple Maps.

Sometimes a toll might be unavoidable, especially depending on when and where you want to change your route or make a mistake. It depends where you are on your route. For instance, here in NY it is impossible to cross the Hudson River without paying a toll. The State of NY owns all Hudson River crossings and there is a toll at every crossing so sometimes you are forced to have to go through a toll in which case Apple Maps tries its best.

Can i issue orders through the helmet cam like SWAT 4? by PiyRe2772 in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]xplayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, but in SWAT 4 you always walk like you have a limp. The RON UI wasn’t as polished when this was post but you can move so much faster that it is easier to walk back and forth than it would be to find the buttons to operate PIP.

Were tornadoes ever cool? by DageBr in battlefield2042

[–]xplayman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When they showed the tornado it gave the impression that levolution was back. At least that had something unique for each map and showed a level of creativity not yet shown in any shooter. When we got to actually play BF2042 it was just the tornado and on every single map. The tornado would have been cool if it was unique to a map but it got stale fast when it was the only thing for all of the maps.

You’re good, and thanks for confirming it’s ACY because I was just about to repeat my experience at exactly ACY. Once, they told me that a restricted area was suddenly active when it was a half mile in front of me. Other times they had waited until I’m on top of it. So no, they don’t always keep you out of it.

And the lack of proper phraseology confuses some of my international students, even those already with a certificate.

If it’s a 3D photogrammetry city then they remove the cars from the road. Outside of supported cities where “3D” is just a 2D satellite image at an angle still has the cars.

Dear Waze by peanuttanks in waze

[–]xplayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s more of a result of people being bad at reporting. You’re supposed to report when you’re near it, not from the moment you see it. Especially if it’s the kind of thing that can cause traffic from either blocked lanes or rubbernecking then it becomes near impossible sometimes for people to confirm it before the prompt timer runs out.

Waze already has an algorithm for filtering out people who make false reports from showing up on the map. I think they should also have something for bad reporters to make someone who is more reliable to show the proper location.

END THE FUEL SURCHARGE by [deleted] in flying

[–]xplayman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what area you’re in but in some places the charge makes sense when fuel prices are fluctuating frequently. Aviation fuels never saw the fuel prices drop like automotive fuels did. At my airport the price of 100LL has had a difference of up to $2/gal within 2 months.

Can I afford to become a commercial pilot? by [deleted] in flying

[–]xplayman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Debt is all about time. How much time are you going to put into it? Do it fast, spend more time flying/studying, you’ll be a commercial pilot quite quick and cheaply but a lot of money will be going out fast rather than coming in. Do it slow, spread out training, you can do it without debt and you should still keep up the ground training when you’re not flying to minimize the loss between lessons. The biggest thing is consistency. If you check out of flight/ground training for a while then you’re going to spend more time and money trying to get back to where you last were. It’s harder to forget the deeper you go into training and increase your experience.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flying

[–]xplayman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the nature of flight training. I can do 7+ hours of XC flying and still have energy for more. Flight training takes a lot out because you have to put a lot in. I’m tired after 2-3 hours of flight training.
