    A little trouble with Cross Country Planning

    http://www.zulutime.net/ -- it's easy after a while, subtract 12 from that and then see how far off it is from your timezone. Then you know how far you are off from zulu and then just remember that single number

    "Invisible" Bike Helmet / Airplane Airbag(?)

    I really like the idea of seatbelt airbags... I am going to redo the seatbelts on the plane anyway because I don't like just having a lap belt.

    "Invisible" Bike Helmet / Airplane Airbag(?)

    A while ago I saw these http://www.hovding.com/en/ making their rounds in my social circles, I thought they were really cool but now I keep wanting to know how well they would work for a pilot? Would the G force from turbulence and stuff set these off? I have always thought the worst part...

    Desktop Linux is dead....

    I actually really love Unity, it has much more efficient use of screen. It isn't insanely well laid out like Gnome2 was, but it's also much faster once you know your way around. Also I don't think anything is ever shoved down your throat, gnome is just an "sudo apt-get install gnome2" away

    I am starting a scanning project

    As stated above the copyright is a bit interesting -- I would doubt anyone would come after you for copyright infringement, and if they did they would need to prove that they (themselves) took the original images, or prove that their parent/spouse took the images... that would be difficult to...

    Looking for a safe Host.

    Okay so I am going to sound like tinfoil hat guy -- but could I suggest two things: 1) You choose a webhost that is not in the United States 2) You start using GPG to encrypt all your email if you don't already While it's unlikely that any government would directly spy on you to get...

    Found my future home.

    My girlfriend and I have been looking at a lot of fly in communities and different areas with better tax structures (since right now I pay about as much in taxes as she makes annually)... Found some really cool places like this one http://www.airportairparkhomes.com/homedetail.asp?id=186 but...

    Kanye West is a douche.

    Hmm maybe it's not Obama who is fighting to stay relevant.

    So Sorry

    They actually already do... because of their low pay most employees of Wal*Mart also qualify for food stamps. Wal*Mart is basically subsidizing their pay system with the welfare program... so it's costing tax payers more money because of their unrealistic pay scale.

    So Sorry

    Gerhardt! You communist! You must know that the poor must work harder so that the rich can get richer... if they don't like being under the foot of Wal*Mart they can leave to find another job but not get food stamps while they try... But since Wal*Mart doesn't even pay a livable wage, they are...

    Elected to EAA Chapter Board of Directors

    Your life experience is great, racism and bigotry is less so. If you are against gay people, thats fine but don't try to tell me that you have realized that gay people are evil because of your years of experience. If you are trying to be inclusive and you want more people to join, then you...

    Elected to EAA Chapter Board of Directors

    It seems to me that our society is growing more tolerant and perhaps even progressive within the younger demographics. So when younger people like myself come out (and bring my girlfriend out) to a EAA event and am told "my lady" can "go do puzzles with the other women"... it is a turn off...

    Flying GA into NYC

    First, sorry for not being clear that it's a referral code -- I normally make those types of things clear. :) I only refer things things that I use myself and like. Though that being said, lyft (which I don't use) is technically free -- you donate to the person who is driving. It's like...

    Flying GA into NYC

    I love using uber, download the app (android or iOS) and just request a pickup. They now have UberX in that area and the rates are apparently even cheaper than cabs (but you can also use uber black car which is really nice). Use the code vco9l and you will get a free $10 in credit

    Discolsing DUI Arrest on Medical

    Part of me read through this thread and thought "ugh I disagree with this guys decision to drink and drive, even if the machine really was off and the doctor was right and his blood alcohol content was lower... he still shouldn't have been driving that close to the limit" I have a big...

    Any Web Designers Want a Gig?

    Query me details if you/they are still looking for someone. The personality isn't a problem for me, but I doubt they are willing to pay my rates.
