He also made a deliberate point of pointing out beforehand that of course he always flies with a parachute. Nope, not suspicious at all.

Military pilots are gonna be wearing parachutes. Civilian private pilots don't.

The vast majority of private pilots are not trained parachutists and don't fly regularly with parachutes.

On the ground he sounds like he's faking how difficult of a go it is-I had to watch it with sound off because of all his complaining.

I don't think it's normal for the overwhelming majority of pilots who fly single engine propeller planes. The Cirrus is very much an exception. Given the older ages of many people who are private pilots, they probably shouldn&#x2

This is the most stereotypically perfect HN response ever.

If I had a dollar for every HN story about how technically illegal drugs are being used for psychiatric purposes and we're just on the verge of them going mainstream and legal and licit, I could fund a bunch of YC startups.

Transplants complaining about how they're better drivers than native PNWers gets pretty old after a very short while. Apparently winter weather driving accidents never happen anywhere else in the country.

If you took that literally it would be impossible to learn cryptography.

I'd like to see a news site in the style of the kind of cable bulletin board you saw a lot of from the 70s-90s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEP96kDKW44&list=PLu7_of-Pg8...

I agree, it's unfairly maligned and very useful.

From a labor perspective, the typical dev interview process is profoundly anti-worker.

> We're so frightened of mystical thinking and being wrong that people aren't willing to entertain "dumb" ideas. As the pandemic has showed, quite the contrary we embrace too many "dumb" ideas.

I’m not really sure this is a VA specific failure. Lots of people fall through the cracks with mental health care, cliched century old Smedley Butler quotes or not. I’m not seeing anything specific about the VA failing him.

The point is that Germany was under no obligation to declare war on the United States. What was Japan going to do if they didn't?

by ZanyProgrammer 5y ago
The problem (well, many problems) with that particular conspiracy theory (which is what it is) is that going to war with Japan doesn't mean that the US will enter the war against Germany.

“Despite illogical leftist primal emotional outcry” Move over Burke and de Maistre, conservatism as praising big business.

I'm not even sure many/any of those ads in the link were in anything resembling a mainstream publication in the first place.

My guess is that there's a fair amount of politics behind such a statement. The kind of politics that has to do with SJWs, Eich, etc rather than any purely technical engineering decisions.

Having to go through the process of negotiating it down is proof that the system is a failure, because that’s very obviously difficult for the majority of people to do. You simply shouldn’t have to do that in the first place.

That was what happened with Brian Wilson.

How is that the norm for so much tv and cinema? Maybe 30 years ago, but I don’t think you can say that violence and gore are underrepresented everywhere but network TV.

> There is a strong correlation between senior dev and live -- senior devs often have children, mortgages, dental payments, college tuition. Maybe not though, considering how often the title “senior” is given out like candy to people in

Isn't Chicago Midway a de facto hub for Southwest, even though they don't call it that?

Didn't SF have a ridiculous number of Walgreens stores at some point several years ago? Like aside from the issue of shoplifting, could they really afford that many stores in such a small area?

Not every expedition has to match up with something historical/apocryphal. The hypothetical people who reached the Azores several hundreds of years earlier could very well just be the equivalent of historical randos.

Some one who has experience with both should wrote an article about the comparisons between Ham (especially wrt emergency preparedness) and the Civil Air Patrol. Specifically with the aging users and declining numbers.
