an exception can also maybe be made for notch for having a weapons grade level of autism on the condition that he be deprived of any and all ways for his awful opinions about women to have any effect on the world (which tbf he also doesn't seem to be doing unless he's started dropping mad stacks on anti-abortion groups or whatever lately)

two Billion dollars and he lives in beyonce's giant estate in bel air. he could pay four guys a quarter million a year each to be his full-time entourage. another million a year keeping his house stocked with booze and drugs and food. another ten million up front to buy a bunch of lamborghinis and jet skis. he'd soon have an unending stream of hot young people showing up to party. so for that relatively tiny investment he could keep up a 24/7/365 bacchanalia for the rest of his natural life and still have hundreds of millions left over. but afaict he just holes up in his room and mansplains about feminism on twitter

i can't believe i'm defending a person with literally astronomical quantities (so huge the human brain simply cannot comprehend) of cash but i mean maybe the dude doesn't want to bankroll an entourage because he feels that people would want to hang out with his wallet and not him which i mean, i can understand that way of looking at it also while it's perfectly cool to want to have a crazy swinging bacchanalia as long as everybody involved is a consenting adult you might be surprised that there are some people who honestly don't find that kind of lifestyle appealing

no, actually, given the choice between "sitting in your chair in the dark complaining about women" or "paying people to hang out with you in a giant continuous orgy" you are objectively wrong if you pick the former. i don't care how introverted and mature you are. you're wrong

i have absolutely no idea what would i would do if i made a thing, then made a shitpost on twitter offering to sell it for $3,000,000,000 and a huge company responded "lol ok" i mean probably i wouldn't stiff my business partners out of 99% of that sum and then hole up posting misogynist garbage on twitter, for one thing idk maybe turn myself into an actual real life version of right wing twitter's most crazy delusional version of George Soros but lol i'm a massive loving coward so that ain't happening gently caress man even if you genuinely think the world is poo poo and unequal how would deploy that kind of cash towards meaningfully improving it without catching a bullet in your skull

big shock: the ability to move the yoke and pedals in an airplane isn't what the FAA is especially concerned about most of learning to fly is things like "why might you need to apply engine heat to the carburetor, and in what situations" and "why must you de-rate your plane's cargo rating on hot days, and by how much" and "why does the weather affect how much gas your plane uses, and by how much" and "how do you read this chart, and can you plan a path that doesn't intersect with a 747"

i did the ground school part of pilot's license and then when i found out how much it cost to pay for all those flight instructor hours i said "i will do this later." i took one lesson and in the air was fun but he made me land (he was helping) and the whole time i thought "isn't this something you should be doing this feels weird."

we had to learn everything with the loving awesome manual tools that were invented because my flight instructor said that digital sucks and fails all the time and if you rely on that you'll definitely die. he scoffed at people who take ipads up into their plan to chart their course and stuff. we did it all on big maps and it was cool as heck.

In fact Saguenay's been in the top 10 safest cities in Canada a bunch of times in the last 10 years. The Hells used to own most of the main street in Jonquiere but have mostly been kicked out and their last bunker has been destroyed around 2005. They still have members around (mostly directed from Trois-Rivières) but usually what everyone hears is just about drugs and whatnot.

Sagebrush posted:big shock: the ability to move the yoke and pedals in an airplane isn't what the FAA is especially concerned about 80% of my practical was stick and rudder skill, the other 20% was the open book portion of the test. Also there is no such thing as de-rating cargo capacity, only climb performance would be affect by higher gross weight. Weather doesn't really affect how much gas you use, unless you meant a second order affect where weather limits altitude/mpg. Most of learning to fly, in a practical sense, is simply learning to always fly the plane (even if the only path forward is into trees) and that pitch controls airspeed and throttle controls vertical speed. Pitch = airspeed is probably what kills most pilots. After that, its just simple easy written test stuff a high schooler could do.

freezepops posted:Also there is no such thing as de-rating cargo capacity, only climb performance would be affect by higher gross weight. was thinking of how both hot-and-high conditions and loaded weight change your takeoff and climb performance, so if it's real hot and there are obstacles at the end of the runway you'd better not load up too much freezepops posted:Weather doesn't really affect how much gas you use, unless you meant a second order affect where weather limits altitude/mpg. gonna burn more fuel if you're flying into a headwind the whole trip and your ground speed is 30 knots lower than usual
