Serious question: could this work in reverse if you took a fecal transplant from someone with “severe” autism and gave it to someone below the ASD cutoff?

I’m really sorry you feel that way.

I’m very thankful for the stability and opportunities being a union member has provided my family since I left the tech field, and I wish my friends still in tech could enjoy the same QOL rather than all of us being worse off and upper management being even richer.

The article touches on this. Pilot wages are very similar across major US airlines due to heavy unionization and pattern bargaining, so labor is more-or-less a fixed cost (and not the biggest fixed cost). Additionally, pilots can and do take pay cuts in lean times. The pilots at my own airline saw a 20% pay cut in the contract following 9/11 and very reduced wage growth for a decade after that. Management took something like a 5% cut and kept the retirement benefits we lost.

Edit: I thought I recognized your name, I see we discussed pilot unions together on HN a few years back. Can I ask what you have against us? Out of genuine curiosity.

Thanks for sharing! Good luck to you as well.

What deck are you using? I’ve been wanting to supplement my Spanish learning with an Anki deck for a while now.

For what it’s worth, I am washing them in a top loader. I wonder if that does make a difference.

It’s uncomfortably close to bribery, but Precheck/Global Entry is worth every penny.

I agree with you about the breathability of those merino t-shirts, but I think the author is right about their fragility. I feel like mine constantly get runs or shrink even though I’m careful (I’m a frequent business traveler and they do get heavy use). I’m considering switching back to traditional undershirts.

May also happens to be the month construction began on one of EWR’s two commonly used runways (though they do have a smaller third runway). This severely reduced the amount of traffic the airport could handle and EWR attempted to keep operating the same amount of scheduled flights as usual, it was a real mess.

A note for Kobo users: a lot of us (myself included) use Calibre to manage and upload our ebooks. Something about Calibre messes up Kepub files and strips out a lot of the formatting (including the book’s cover).

If I want to appreciate a nice Kepub from Standard Ebooks, I upload it directly to the Kobo.

I contacted support in 2021 as well, trying to regain access to my account made in 2010. They told me that they wouldn’t help me.

RNAV RNP approaches can contain curved descents. They’re usually used in areas with high terrain but I don’t see why they couldn’t be used down here. LPV minimums seem to usually be very close to ILS minimums these days.

That said, it’s always nice to have a ground-based alternative approach. I wonder if they have sustained issues with GPS this far south.

Grew up in ND/MT. In my experience the ranchers would use a tractor to move the carcass somewhere deserted, and then let the coyotes do the final clean-up.

I’m not sure I have any suggestions on how to fix it, but the Skypath integration with the moving map in Jepp FD Pro is way too cluttered. There’s already quite a bit of information in Jepp and the bright colors from Skypath really wash out all the other information. I haven’t seen many pilots use it more than once.

You guys have a great product, I fly for a major airline and really like it. Hurry up and get Delta onboard so we can get their data too: I’ve used their in-house app at my old job and Sky Vector is much better.

Any plans to change the Jepp integration? Most of my colleagues don’t use it, too much data displayed at once. I’m not sure of a solution but would love to hear if you guys have any ideas.

Sounds quite a bit like wake turbulence. As planes move through the air, they leave air vortices called “wake” (much like a boat does in water). This effect is worse when airplanes are slow, like when they’re coming into land. Pilots try to avoid each other’s wake, but it’s invisible and sometimes you do hit it if the controller vectors you close behind another aircraft.

It produces a strong rolling motion and can even flip small airplanes.

True, but professional pilots from all countries are expected to be fluent in Aviation English. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_English

I didn’t go through it myself, but for him placement rate was the #1 thing he made his decision on. TE was about 75% coding and 25% interview skills from what I was told. He liked it and was successful.

It really does sound like now is a historically bad time to try breaking into coding, sadly.

He ended up choosing Tech Elevator based on placement rate, online reviews, and location.

As recently as 10 months ago, my brother did a boot camp with no prior experience and landed a job as a junior dev with a ~$100k package. His class had a placement rate of maybe 2 in 3.

Seems like the job market has only gotten worse since then however.

We just spent a week in Japan and did not stay only in tourist areas, my Apple Watch logged our walks as around 10-15 miles per day.

Over the entire week, I saw one obviously homeless person, one “maybe” and no encampments. It really was striking coming from the United States. ~3,000 homeless may be low, but they have drastically fewer than us.

I’m not going to shill too hard for a tax prep company, but I’ve used FreeTaxUSA for years and am satisfied. Cheap, simple, no hidden fees I’ve noticed.

Lowe’s and Home Depot also offer this. It’s good enough and the reason I’m not going to buy another truck after my 2005 Ranger finally blows up.

I work in aviation and have moved that wheel out of curiosity. As expected, the jet bridge moved up and down with the wheel!

I never realized there were apartments up there! Fun idea.

I would agree with you. The most important person I hurt when holding a grudge is myself. Much better to do my best to forgive, maybe forget, and move on with my life (with or without that person).

I wasn’t aware he wrote books based in Appalachia! Do you have a recommendation?

This is incorrect. Airline pilots also fall under the Railway Labor Act and require federal mediation before authorizing a strike vote. In the past the Feds have usually allowed strikes, but not always. https://simpleflying.com/airline-labor-negotiations-guide/

I don’t believe that this would explain the bust in blue states. If they were already on birth control pre-pandemic, shouldn’t their birth rates have stayed level or even gone slightly up with all the free time stuck at home? Instead they went down.

The guy is truly a moron and deserves some jail time, but 10 years? For being an idiot influencer that didn’t harm anyone? Heck, if you rape someone in California, the max time in jail is less than that.
