Yep. Been playing the actual card game since they started shipping them from the Kickstarter. Just recently started playing the iPhone app version. So far it's quite a hoot! I especially love being able to play without an Internet connection with those around you.

Instead of allupurinol, I take uloric (generic name: febuxostat) which is nearly identical (at least in end result) but is supposedly better for people with mild to moderate renal insufficiency (which I have). For flare ups, I have taken colchicine, but never again, it gave me horrible diarrhea...

I bought a used 2007 XC90 in 2009 and had it for 5 years. The only expensive issue I had with it was a locked up AC compressor. It did have a flat tire once, but the frame was able to handle the jack just fine, and I discovered that tires were quite common. I also owned a 2001 S60 for 8...

If you're on flight following, it is highly likely that the controller that you're talking to will advise you of any traffic. I have never even considered going around an MOA even when they're hot. In my experience (which is admittedly not m much) it is a complete non-issue, and when doing it...

Many here would argue that primary training should start in the real thing with a real instructor so you learn all the right habits first. While virtual training like this would likely help a lot with your future training, such as getting your instrument rating, you should be very cautious...

43.13(a) maybe? The relevant quote is "shall use the tools, equipment, and test apparatus necessary to assure completion of the work in accordance with accepted industry practices" Just a shot in the dark from my perspective, though. I'm sure there's a pretty deep rabbit hole concerning...

They crash one on every mission. They have a quota, you know. (I'm trying out the whole sarcasm thing) I sense much anger in you.

You mean like when they killed bin Laden? SEALs fly with the 160th all the time.

Thanks for this post. :)

Here's an article with a more positive outlook... Ten Signs The F-35 Fighter Program Is Becoming A Smashing Success

I would not fly without close-toed shoes on. I also won't fly in shorts. But that's just me. I have no problem with people who fly in shorts and sandals, however.

I was once told long ago that your strengths are also your weaknesses, and there is some truth to that. So when someone asks what my weaknesses are, I just rephrase one of my strengths. E.g. I am very detail oriented, so when asked for a weakness, I say, "well, I'm very detail oriented, so...

KJKA is definitely a good idea! Make sure to get a t-shirt. http://www.jacksaces.com/

It's all good, I was a 64 guy, so I know what it's like to be hated. I tried to reenlist for Chinooks, but no dice, I was tainted... But now I have been redeemed! (And I just don't tell people about my wicked past.)

Man, we must all know the same people. Lots of TF and FC guys retire and come work for us, so if any of you are looking for a job, PM me for more info, I know we are hiring A&P's (specifically, crew chiefs) and I think pilots as well right now. EDIT: UNLESS YOU'RE A CHINOOK GUY, WE DON'T...

I was wondering this, too. Anyone?

The XC90 line just got updated and is brand new this year. Although they may not be selling them quite yet. Some people don't like the new look, as it kind of looks like an Audi Q7, but I think it's great, especially now that it comes with the plug-in hybrid option.

Perfect! Since I'm a helicopter mechanic.

I can't quite explain it, but I love Volvos, but not the old boxy ones. It started with the curvy 2001 S60, and now I have a 2015 XC60, and I love it. I honestly don't know what that says about me. Other car is a Scion tC, which I also love, since it's so reliable (it's basically a base-model...

Visually-modified Puma in Rambo, but we get the idea I think. ;)
