  • 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.

    No shit. I got downvoted for calling out a commentor sincerely advocating that biden should use systematic executions of congressional leaders that oppose him, thanks to the new supreme court ruling. It wasnt even the politics forum!

    Im not being unreasonable saying that that is a horrible take. way too many people here make me feel like im living in an alternate reality. Im middle left at most, motherfuckers, yalls crazy.

    I like lemmy, but there is no middle ground here at the moment. Ill keep calling it out tho.
