Cameron’s Highlander Grog.

Popular press points to social activists in 1940's-1960's (https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/woke/) but the term likely refers to the critical social theory idea of awakening the critical consciousness (e.g. learning to see all social systems through power imbalances and becoming motivated to...

Congrats!

Most likely because "student" and "instructor" carry connotations of power differentials, i.e. the instructor has authority over the student. As far as the question of "what is w*ke?" it generally refers to a branch of sociology that views all social interaction as clashes between groups with...

Get a base model Subaru Impreza with a manual. I had a 2012 with the FB20 years ago and I beat on it relentlessly. I had it for 148,000 miles with maintenance consisting of oil changes, tires, and plugs. When I traded it in, it had a little bit of clatter from the valve train and probably...

Flew with a CFI last night at a pilot controlled airport. We deliberately chose the crosswind runway to make it more of a challenge. Figured out that I tend to fly a closer pattern at night and so I get rush because I don’t have much of a base leg. Once he had me deliberately fly a longer...

I did my initial training out of KSET and am very familiar with the black hole approach to 36! My first night flight ever during PPL was off of 36 and after the runway lights fell away and it was just darkness out in front was an eye opening experience. I haven't tried 1H0 or CPS at night, but...

One of the things I am trying to do to work past this is volunteering to be a safety pilot for other club members who want to get instrument approaches in.

I could see this. Even with things that don't really bother me (like riding in cars) I will drive if given the opportunity vs. being a passenger.

I have not tried indoor skydiving or scuba. Oddly enough being upside down doesn’t bother me. @RyFly I have gotten better but there’s a weird caveat - I’m generally a lot better with it if I’m the one flying. I’ve done pushovers with a friend who thought being weightless was fun and when I...

It was indeed SUS, flying the right hand pattern off of 8R! And it was winds out of the south - 170. So that kind of experience is fairly typical and I need to be prepared for it? I’m planning on getting some more practice. I called up my instructor from the school I did my private and...

Not that I really saw. After I parked I went into the FBO to use the restroom and when I walked to the hangars it felt pretty calm. The ASOS said winds were out of the south at 5 knots. I am still fairly new at flying out of this particular airport and there are some hills just to the south...

That's exactly what I did. I'd planned on doing more patterns but cut it short after the first one. I think one of the things that is frustrating for me is that I took a year off while I was out of state and just got back into it last year. I've got about 240 hours now and I keep reminding...

I got a TAF in the morning and it was saying about 10 knots straight down the runway. When I got to the airport I noticed a flag on a nearby business was blowing pretty well but when I got out of my car and walked to the hangar it felt pretty calm. Before I started up I got the ASOS on my...

Went out last night to do some pattern work. I don't have a whole lot of night hours because I don't really like the idea of flying at night in a single, but I've been trying to get over that a bit. Last week I did some night work with an instructor and it went really well so I went up to do...

Hadn't seen that before but that's good!

Same. I love the holiday season.

Does one camp there? Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with it.

I assume that this is Rough River KY?

I agree, and I tend to lean towards the side of being a free speech absolutist because of this, as I am a near-absolutist of all of the first 10A. I think unions get a bit hairy because many unions exhibit a certain degree of political cronyism, and I irk at things like Meta begging for...
