Followers of mine who are CFIs and do intro or discovery flights - what percentage of them do you estimate turn into full-time students? Feels like we've been pumping intros through lately with a pretty low conversion rate and we're getting tired of giving glorified scenic flights.
Nah they shoulda done it but 100% with fursuiters pulled out of the local convention
Who can reply: anyone, nobody, people who can be normal about it.
trying out a new feature, lmk if it works
Tried to upload a reel - the previews are in 16:9 while the reels play in 9:16, so it’s tricky to pick media. Not that that matters tho, cos when you tap “post” the app hard crashes.
Just checked it out and made my account. Cautiously interested, but it has a lot of UI/UX issues that scream “vibe coded”, so I’m incredibly wary about using the feature that lets you upload personal documents and shit 😳
Hell yeah, that’s awesome
Hell yeah, house squashes the ROTOR act! No having to buy a new transponder!
Time for tomfoolery
Found it
Thank you for an amazing Valentine’s Day baby ❤️❤️❤️
I have a bridge to sell you in Iowa. I’ll send you my PayPal.

finding out that 100% of the "rude" tag warnings are applied manually by bsky mod staff has been enriching because now whenever i see a post that objectively rocks tagged "rude" i know that some bsky mod was getting mad about what a good post it is
Some of y'all don't have hobbies and it fucking shows.
If I never read the words “thank you for your attention to this matter” again, it’ll still be too soon 😵
Headline: "Scientists discover emperor penguin colony in Antarctica using satellite images"
Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.
Big thanks to my love and (mostly) good boy @303snowwolf.com for Furcon-ing with me. From help with our Kink panel, to providing emotional support when I got really sad in parts. You continue to be a huge part in my life and I love our adventures together ❤️ Love you lots, baby
For our weekend date night @stormykittyhawk.bsky.social surprised me with finding a really cool mini-golf place in the city! She always finds the most fun places for our outings. Love you baby ❤️
Last night I surprised @303snowwolf.com with a fun date night at Holey Moley mini golf in SF! We had so much fun! ⛳️
Look what a good boy @303snowwolf.com is for me.... sometimes.
I ordered it here, they shipped quick and were reputable. www.exd-tek.com/product/vs36...
They also have a smaller one in the related products that takes 3v3. This one needs 5V but luckily is still 3v3 logic, so I had to throw in a little 80 cent boost converter
Nah, now Kobe is what helicopter pilots yell when they absolutely pile-drive a landing
dreg-heap 17 hr. ago I'm still thinking about how the younger Kennedys, including RFK Jr, would apparently pretend to get hit by cars and then berate the drivers saying "you've killed another Kennedy!" And then the dead Kennedy would get up and they'd all run away shouting "it's a Kennedy miracle!" carosbee 11 hr. ago I feel this might be misinformation. dreg-heap 6 hr. ago Let it be known that I do love lying on the internet but this one is real "RFK"-obviously for Robert Francis Kennedy. For a moment, Ethel had no words. "The next time your boys want to fly a flag, ask them to do so from the steeple of the Catholic church, not from mine." With that, he handed Ethel the sheet and took his leave. Ethel closed the door. Then, at the top of her lungs, she looked to the heavens and screamed out, "Give me strength!" It was all just mischief, but troubling just the same when the stories would get back to Ethel or the other adults in the family. For instance, one prank had the boys playing in busy Hyannis Port tourist traffic, only to have one kid fall to the ground while another smacked the back of a car, making a loud noise. Then they would all gather around their fallen chum and shout hysterical sentiments at the driver, such as, "You've just killed another Kennedy!" When panicked people came to the aid of the young Kennedy sprawled in the middle of the road, the boys would milk it for all it was worth by trying to get the boy to move his legs and then saying it looked as if he'd been paralyzed. But then the fallen Kennedy would suddenly stand up and walk away. At that, the other boys would proclaim, "Look, it's a Kennedy miracle!" and then race off, leaving a crowd of very upset Hyannis Port tourists in their wake. ... ...
A Kennedy family fact:
Yeah you definitely have to have a use in mind, it sat for a while collecting dust before I found this tiny receiver. Luckily it’s pretty cheap relatively speaking
Little rainy day project, crammed an ADSB receiver into my PicoCalc and coded up a UI for it. Think I’m gonna order a few more of these radios to use in my flight datalogger project, they’re really cool
Finally some answers
Honestly the FAA has a lot of good free books (airplane flying handbook, pilots handbook of aeronautical knowledge). Search for a small local school at the nearby airport, avoid big chains like ATP. Never go to any school that wants money up front. Most schools have discovery flights for like $200
It takes less switches, knobs and steps to start my airplane than it does to see a whiff of tit or ass on the “freedom of expression” platform 🙄
