Which is why I waited until I was old enough to figure out what is important enough to be permanent. Once you're past 50, you're done making dumb mistakes, right? Right?

I visited Edinburgh back in the 90s, and I've always wanted to return for the Military Tattoo, especially to see the "lone piper" at closing. Come to think of it (and I literally just now thought of it)... that visit to Scotland was so special, and I loved it so much, I really should...

Very true! I found the basic design for mine after days of looking over Google images and DeviantArt (DeviantArt is a great resource for inspiration), then I printed out a rough design at various sizes, cut them out, and got the size/placement I thought I'd like best. I uploaded my files to...

I'm thinking about an aviation themed tattoo for my next one, maybe a photorealistic image of the plane I use to pass my checkride and get my PPL, prominently displaying the registration number and the date. Having turned 50 and got my first tattoo a year ago, I want to get things that are...

I've had State Farm ever since I was 16. My parents refused to put me on their policy and made me get my own. My rates were horrifically high as a teenager, but it was probably one of the best financial teaching lessons I ever got. Over time, my rates are very reasonable, and I've only ever...

Nah, if they worked for the news, the article would read something about a military pilot hand propping a jet, and then the autopilot took off, circled three times, and flew into a garage in a residential neighborhood, injuring all 38 people on board.

The answer depends entirely on whether it's an African or European torque wrench?

Or go for both practicality and showing off, and get a Vision Jet :)

Years ago (when I was young and stupid), I looked into maybe getting an older Ferrari, and decided the oldest I'd go was a 360 Modena because IIRC it was the first model that didn't require pulling the engine for some of the servicing. But I'm so glad I didn't get one, as it would have been a...

I actually thought this thread was going to be about the TV show, and was prepared to start posting my theories!

After taking one look at that guy, Edna Mode would shout, "NO SCARVES!"

Hey, that lady stole that plane! And didn't do a preflight! :) I'm pretty much at Stage 5 - Departure. I'm 95% positive I'm going to give my notice this Friday, take two or three months off, get some professional certifications done that will give me more leverage, and then hit a job search...

Congrats, and good for you! I'm in the initial phases of a job search myself, but I'll be moving from an IT job to another IT job. I wish I'd discovered aviation earlier in my life, as I might have gone down that route instead. But as I'm 52 and there is zero chance I could make as much in...

I wonder if his arch enemy's last name is Waffle?

Has anybody here landed a GA plane at Denver? Just curious.

I have a fear of water, and never learned to swim because of it. And all because of that damned movie Jaws! When I was a little kid, I begged my parents to take me to see Jaws. Everything was going fine until that scene underwater where the guy is diving next to the sunken boat and a human...

I have a ResMed S9 that I got back in 2014. It still has the official ResMed SD card in it, and as a previous poster suggested, I do periodic dumps of data to my laptop in case the SD card ever flakes out. I've not had any problems with the card, but a few days ago the power went out, and the...

I'm almost 52, and ink doesn't bother me. Some of the most talented and cool people I worked with in Silicon Valley had tons of tattoos. Granted, they were almost all engineers and "back office" people. In fact, I'd long had getting a tattoo on my bucket list, but it wasn't until I moved back...

I bet the Bryans of the world just love that!

I view Craigslist as a dating app for people from the movie Idiocracy.
