You do know what a false dichotomy is, right?

Richard McSpadden, the senior vice president of the AOPA Air Safety Institute, died along with one other person in the crash of a Cessna 177RG near Lake Placid Airport in upstate New York on Sunday.

If you wanna be supremely dissapointed on how long the worst of the worst can last after they commit horrible atrocities, look up pol pot. Assuming this man will pay consequences for his actions anytime in the near future is, unfortunately, very naïve.

Its a pretty good joke though, you gotta admit. Nothing like someone with a phd and the knowledge to mess with people not literate in the subject matter. Kudos to dr liu.

The faa regulates air traffic .including drones. You shoot down an nypd drone, you're gunna get the feds involved.

Abbot' predecessor was the driving force behind our massive wind energy investments. This is great news for clean energy and the state. I dont like abbot, and barely tolerated Perry, but every now and then, the leaders of Texas do something i can get behind.

Using an emoji lineup to pick what service is superior is the most pantshittingly stupid reasoning i have ever seen. Jesus fucking christ.

I migrated from windows phone to android and loved the windowsphone interface.

I use squarehome. It is infinitely customizable and with a little work the cleanest ui imaginable.

Complete Walkaround has quickly become one of my favorite YouTube channels. in each short form episode, you will get a breakdown of the performance, costs, and quirks of a plane that you may just be interested in.

as an owner of a Comanche 250, I can attest that the breakdown of costs and performance are fairly accurate (region dependent for fixed costs), and a great starting point for potential owners.

Not ridiculing you, but if you have "decently severe anxiety" over this, what the hell are you doing here?

Seriously, why are you feeding the beast in your head? This information machine is made to continue that trend. Just stop it and look at something else. Go for a walk or something and close the browser or phone. Heres a hint, if you have any excuse other than "oh shit you're right", you are an addict to this, and ive heard enough excuses from junkies in my life. Do better for yourself.

Well, to be fair. If you join the nazi server and stick around, i dont have much sympathy. Lets be honest, there will be hints.

It's the internet. Make a new account on a better place. For fucks sake you can probably keep the same username with zero repercussions. It isnt really a loss.

It took me all of 15 minutes to repopulate my subscribed list when i picked a dead end community. And when my current one fails, i can literally do the same again. It isnt a loss. My goal at a certain point is to maintain some semblance of anonymity anyways. I had countless reddit accounts over the past 12 years. Why would i be worried now?

So i guess that this solves the big problem short term. The influx has been the first growing pain. But long term it does nothing. They will get caught defederating from smaller instances over and over. Anyone that jumps in from smaller instances will be able to carry on, at least how i understand it. The cream will rise to the top eventually, but such a strong declaration so early isnt a good sign. If the mods from any large instance decide that "this is too much, ban them" is the best response, the lemmy community is destined to be a fractured mess, rather than a reddit killer or a reddit refugee state.

I guess, imo, i get it. 100% understand from a moderation point of view. But im frustrated that there is this big of a fold the first week of real volume. The cesspool will exist in any instance. But going thermobaric this early leads to nukes next week. And it may be a sign of why a strong corporate arm and direction, as much as we hate it, is currently the winning scenario. Unfederated control is powerful. The hydra has been unleashed, but for each head you cut off, three more appear.

"There i was..." is put out by the AOPA air safety institute and has live interviews with people who were in general aviation accidents or in incidence.

I also listen to "the finer points" with jason miller. He is a career cfi that goes through training scenarios and is a great resource for student pilots or people learning ifr.
