  • In my experience, this is one of the devices that only creates more confusion in what already is a high stress environement. I get what you are saying, but i doubt there is a single pilot under the age of 60 that would ever use this device willingly. The heirarchy anymore is the in suite avionics, then secondary instruments, then Ipad, then, asking for vectors.

    Its like an abacus. Theres just very little use for it anymore. And maintaining proficiency is only for the test.




  • Yes you are. The insurance company takes money from healthy people, scoops some off the top for themselves, and then distributes the rest to pay for grandmas hip replacement.

    Unless you use the same or more than what you paid into insurance, you are subsidizing someone elses healthcare.





  • My closest superstore an hour drive away. 60 miles. The closest grocer is 12 miles. My closest international airport is 1.5 hours away. It is also the closest regional airport. 85 miles. The closest national park is 3 hours. I live 6 miles from my closest town.

    There are no passenger trains, busses, or taxis. Or uber.

    Rural america is empty. And spread out. We get along fine, but public transit will never exist here. Cars are the only way.






  • Its not even nuance now. Israel is just the focal point to maintaining power over the middle east and preserving u.s. interests there.

    For all this Israel/palestine bullshit. For all the ignoring genocide and human suffering and atrocities for literal decades. Lets be honest… horrible shit is happening, but the united states is continuing this route for power over a region. Im not happy about any of it. A shit ton of people arent happy about it.

    But ive got a bad feeling about it. If there was a reason to abandon this, we would have already done it. I dont think after all this, that this is all about greed or individual personal power for politicians. Theres something about the equilibrium of this situation and bigger pieces moving that make this thing more than what it really is. I fucking hope there are files and locksafes on why this is the right course. The usa is in the wrong on face value 100% and losing a lot of popular opinion continuing this route. But they keep doubling down. I fucking want to know why. That should be the question that we are asking. I unfortunately, reluctantly, hope that there is a bigger game we arent privy to as normal citizens.

    I think that the meta game is showing a little bit, where human suffering is consequential to me being a u.s citizen, and where the alternative is so much worse. I sincerely hope this is to avoid something worse, else it is inexcusable.

    The fuck else are we supposed to do?
