    Basic Med - SI

    Voepass Flight 2283, a large passenger plane, crashes in Vinhedo, Brazil

    Transport category aviation is the EASIEST aviation there is… in the “now”. The problem is that “right now”, while things aren’t very bad, you gotta make the decision that prevents an issue a relatively long time from now. THAT is why it’s hard and dangerous. This goes for maint, wx...

    Thread about actual beer

    So…. While we’re debating… Q: Is beer food? A: No, it is not. To wit: food needs to do two things: a). Sustain life. I grant you, beer will do this b). Form a turd. This it will not. Therefore, beer is not food. Sorry… My favorite. Fresh beer.
