Blaming @milesintransit.com because I'm going online to order Snyder's pretzels because I can't find them anywhere around here.

youtu.be/sMnmQuLzoks The Ibuprofen entering my body, trying to decide what to work on first.

I was today years old when I learned that you can just buy “Delta Airlines cookies” at the dollar store.

Frau Yote: "You like spicy food because the initial pain response of capsacasian causes your body to release endorphins, so it's basically BDSM for your mouth."

Oh you had to play the Home Alone song. That one always gets me. You see 20 years ago I came home from Iraq the first time. My mom sat at the airport for like 13 hours waiting for my delayed flight. I remember coming down the escalator and seeing her standing there, smiling.

"Let it Snow" always reminds me of Die Hard 2 and how all of those planes managed to land without smashing into one another and creating a catastrophe that would make Tenerife seem mild by comparison.

🎵I must stay conscious Through the madness and chaos So I call on my angels, they say "Oh ye of so little faith, don't doubt it, don't doubt it Victory is in your veins, you know it, you know it And you will not negotiate, just fight it, just fight it And be transformed"🎵

Once again, someone's cat who "doesn't like strangers" has decided that I am worthy and flabbergasted their owner.

No Microsoft, I do not need your "AI assistant". As an ametuer writer, one of my customers/friends told me "If you can't be bothered to put effort into writing it, I can't be bothered to read it. I'd rather read your mistakes and errors because I know it came from you."

The best dog trait is when herding breeds try to herd children. Nothing is funnier than a very confused toddler staring at you for answers as some well meaning Border collie tries to direct them to an absolutely arbitrary location.

It might be -9 degrees outside, but I'm sipping a mug of hot cider wrapped up in a blanket like a coyote burrito and all is right with the world.

You develop an instant global consciousness... an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there international politics looks so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and say, “Look at that, you son of a bitch"

It's not a true con until FD responds. Otherwise it's just a sparkling gathering of furries.

Introduce yourself with five animals you’ve seen in the wild: Coyote Mountain Lion Bobcat Moose Javelina

Happy to be selected as “person I want to hang out with” by the cat.

I love it when military movies depict details that the layperson wouldn't even notice but someone "who knows" would be like

The differences in geography in the US are kind of amusing sometimes. Someone posts about seeing coyotes in my local FB group and the majority of posts are "OMG KILL THEM SO DANGEROUS" Growing up in AZ, this was not an uncommon encounter, even at this distance.

Read the preliminary NTSB report, and I just... I can't even come up with words to describe the sadness I feel. These guys did everything they could to keep her in the air until the very end. Godspeed, gentlemen. 🥃

Hey @sterlinglion.bsky.social , happy freed-from-the-womb day! 🍰🍺

Educating my fellow YouTube comment denizens on the intricacies of Arizona law and the mighty Saguaro Cactus. I have a life, I swear.

Chat, does it make me a foamer if I can tell the whistle sounds from a regular CN manifest vs. Amtrak's Blue Water? 🤔

It's sort of amusing telling people not from the area about the Great Lakes. They're always shocked to learn that the lakes have killed thousands of people and claimed hundreds of ships because they're more like tiny freshwater oceans. Anyhoo. Fair winds and following seas, gents. 🍺

Average person watching 'Crimson Tide': Oh, a neat submarine movie. Me watching Crimson Tide: The Navy has between two and however many Ohio Class subs we have in the fleet on patrol at any given time. Why recall the crew of The Alabama for an emergency mission when you could just task one of them?

I heard a terrible sound, as if hundreds of DoT officers cried out

Now there’s something you don’t see every day. I mean unless you’re on a carrier I guess.

www.youtube.com/shorts/u2ZqF... My dad, describing what it was like flying OH-6's in Laos and Cambodia

SOME PEOPLE have insinuated that I “Decorate like a TGI Fridays.” What do you think chat?

Happy Halloween

Heheh

"Fuel boost pumps humming the pressure does show, throttle at idle, the starter we throw, EGT rising, the turbine's alive! Blades bite the sky as the engines roar through me, torque's in the green and no storm can undo me! The Heavens above couldn't hope to subdue me, I'm flying a fucking Huey!"

Me: "I ordered a burrito from my favorite Mexican place" Friend: "You can get good Mexican food in Michigan?" Me: ... "I didn't say it was good, I said it was my favorite." God I miss good Mexican food.

"As a pilot, only two bad things can happen to you, and one of them will. Either one day you will walk out to the aircraft knowing it is your last flight, or one day you will walk out to the airplane not knowing it is your last flight."

Day 3 of my "lets try this "sobriety" thing again so my liver doesn't shrivel up and I die in 10 years" Not a fan xD Sitting here wide awake and bored as hell. Still gonna try though. One day at a time.

If the government's shut down, can I ride my quad here now? #Ifyouknowyouknow

The KC46 program was superior to Airbus' offering in every way and I'm glad we went with that airframe.

Hey @thatbloodypinko.bsky.social I had a question. Been watching this channel on YouTube where they ride along with and film LEOs doing their thing and I was wondering. Is the footage they collect admissible/subpoenable as evidence? Can the film crew be called as witnesses?

A bunch of foamers hating on furries for being cringe is a special kind of irony.

This is rather perplexing.

Ah shit I almost missed it! Happy 1011!

Trying to convince my neighbor that my "fancy toys" (An ISP issued router and Echo Dot) aren't messing with her TV antenna and it's because we live 60 miles from where the TV stations are that she's getting shitty reception.

When sheps and yotes get together, one of two things happens. Either the shep's herding instincts kick in and they constantly have to keep the coyote from doing coyote things, OR the shep acts like tritium in a nuclear explosion and just gives the coyote some really good ideas.

Sometimes I lie in bed and I wonder if any of my recorded calls were ever used for quality and training purposes.

Things you don't want to hear while flying: "Prepare to copy a phone number" An engine stopping A voice behind an oxygen mask referring to your airplane as a "TOI" That same voice informing you that you've been intercepted by an armed air defense fighter. Read your NOTAMS kids.

Good morning fellow triangle dog.

You know you can just like, back up and try it again right? This ain't the CDL test where you get docked points for it.

Waymo? More like wait… no

On a positive note: I love the credit they give to the enlisted and contract ground guys; The maintainers. No matter the mission or the airplane, We can't do what we do without you and I am honored to work with such dedicated men and women.

Overall it's a good series, and maybe it's cuz I'm not a Navy guy but there's some things in this 'Top Guns' documentary series that has me like

*Banned from the rapture for calling it “uppies”*

Contrary to Hollywood belief, you don't get to pick your callsign because it's something that sounds cool. It's usually because of something embarrassing you did, or your last name sounds funny.
