Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?
  • Podunk Podunk 10mo ago 100%

    Buy 4 new tires for your vehicle. All at once. Take a look at the vimes "boots theory of economic injustice" principal. 1000 seems extreme to you, but getting through the winter in certain parts can be sobering.

    The point isnt the dollar figure, it's the principal.

  • What are some herbal teas you would consider essential in a well-stocked tea collection?
  • Podunk Podunk 1y ago 100%

    Options where i live for non alcoholic beer are scarce where i live, but tbh, It's a little more of a "something that isnt beer at night" sort of thing than it is a drive for sobriety. Ive got no problem with a gin and tonic nightcap, however a glass or two of tea is cheaper and healthier. But thanks for the alternative. I appriciate it.

  • Podunk Podunk 1y ago 100%

    Been trying to cut back on my evening alcohol consumption. Its a simple, very flavor forward herbal tea, and its been a great drink for winding down and resetting for the night. I dont know what it is, but im a fan. Mint tea didnt do that, but a cup or two of bengal spice seems to be what i personally crave now.

    I like lemmy, but i miss reddits ability for useless hot takes to be downvoted into oblivion.

    So many people here really do think their hard line, no context opinions hold value.

    Something something forest, trees, shitty visibility. For fucks sake.

    Putin: West put ethnic Jew to rule in Ukraine to 'cover glorification of Nazism'
  • Podunk Podunk 1y ago 100%

    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.

    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.

  • Podunk Podunk 1y ago 100%

    Im happy. More activity is always good, but you gotta start somewhere. The posts have slowly been picking up. Its a niche community, its going to take time.

    I am down to help contribute. This place has potential.

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

  • Android users who don't use the stock launcher - what launcher do you use, and what do you like about it?
  • Podunk Podunk 1y ago 100%

    Its the whicons pack. The rest is just optimizing squarehome through trial and error. Change borders here, resize tile there, etc. Theres a ton of customization. Once its set the way you like it, you will carry it through the next phone and the next phone.

  • Podunk Podunk 1y ago 100%

    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.

    How Has Flight Simulation Helped Your Pilot Training?
  • Podunk Podunk 1y ago 100%

    Ive used it to get a rough idea of approach into new airports. It isnt perfect at all, but has helped 'get a lay of the land' so to speak.

    Sims suck for feeling how something will fly. Maybe it is the lack of hardware that makes me feel like im forcing the experience.But msfs has been an asset for a wierd approach on occasion, just to get an idea of what to expect flying into addison or centinneal for example.

    Personally i get bored flying for 2 hours and not going outside my house. But i can see the appeal so i wont judge it. It has its place and plenty of people love it. If you can find a good service, for radio work ive noticed some sims are more educational than actual atc tbh. And way safer when you mess up royaly. Speaking as someone who has fucked up his calls with vegas approach, radio work is pretty important.

    So you want to buy a plane? Check out Complete Walkaround
    www.youtube.com

    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.

    Oh he will be the first one out when it goes public. Whatever majority shareholders make up the board will not look favorably on this. Now it is all positioning and planning for future resource extraction. In no profit driven world does spez remain ceo in 6 months. Guarantee it.
