It also became kind of a fad in the late 1980's through the 1990's to hear of adult ADHD, where adults who in most cases were quite successful in their jobs and in life were suddenly being diagnosed with "Adult ADHD" and put on medication.

Daniel Boone is reputed to have said, "I've never been lost; but once I was bewildered for 12 days..."

From God's mouth to yours, indeed. Especially if you have a teen aged daughter who is... eventing... yeah maybe that Bonanza isn't so bad.

I think it's partly because ADHD has many different manifestations. Some ADHD folks have high, almost uncontrollable impulsivity/distractability. Medication is at its best in controlling these traits, but obviously someone with very low impulse control and high distractibility would be...

More importantly diagnostic criteria and techniques change over time. A colleague of mine went in for an evaluation for "adult ADHD" and spent exactly 10 minutes with the therapist, emerging with an ADHD diagnosis and a ritalin prescription. In later life, he kept having sleep problems...

I reload ammunition for my target shooting habit and regularly buy lead bullets in lots of 500 or so. There is always a paper warning "Do not eat!"

I saw the video that most of us are talking bout, and the track is astounding. She's within sight of her departure runway and an Interstate running directly to her destination but is swerving and turning all over the sky talking not just about not going the right direction but evidently baffled...

you might enjoy this clip I made after a day trying to fix my snow-blower

I really like the Aviation101 channel. The guy is a CFII who can fly anything he wants, but he chooses to fly a Skyhawk and has some of the best videos out there. Interestingly, he doesn't talk to the camera in the plane very much. Uses a lot of voice-over and typically has TWO other people in...

There's also "FlyWithKay" that combines a very strong "talk to the viewer" component with a "Excuse me here, I'm flying the plane" priority.

I don't think she could get the HP in an Arrow. Not over 200 hp.

"Genuine Leather" does not mean "made from hides." Leather can be pulverized and manufactured into sheets that are technically "leather" but not the kind of hide construction we love. In Bible bindings, it's called "bonded leather." I don't know if jacket makers adhere to any terminology...

Many years ago, I used to take my son, who was very young (pre-school) to the local airport and we'd walk up and down the ramp where the planes were parked and I introduced him to aviation. We'd go in the little FBO building, introduce ourselves, ask if we could walk around and look at the...

I see you all are right, the recent ones are closed off after all.

What videos have been deleted? Her profile says 54 videos, which I think is what she had before. That they drop out of one's feed doesn't mean they've been deleted.

Interesting coming from a guy who writes alternative history! ;-)

In a rather philosophical debate I once had, a guy asked me "Really what is "reality"?" I answered, "Reality is what will kill you if you ignore its attributes."

There has already been a link posted to a video (Blancolirio) giving a very clear explanation of how she mis-understood the auto-pilot and how it relates to the plane's trim, and how she evidently did not understand how it worked.

Actually from her other videos it sounds like a correctly functioning autopilot used incorrectly.

One thing I like about the "Aviation101" channel is that the guy typically has another pilot along who is camera capable, and he often waits until after the flight to record the actual script and narration. He seems to me to be a very capable, professional pilot who is also a very capable film...
