CitizenKain posted:Used to fly in some planes that size before the regional airline that ran them went out of business. I think about half the flights I took in them had some moments where you'd start to nervously glace at other passengers. The first time I ever flew was on a plane similar - whatever they use in the UK for internal flights. Flight was delayed by 45 mins as something on the plane broke. Only 5 of us on the flight too, so we also got shuffled around to different seats. As soon as the wheels leave the ground, the overhead compartment for the first ten rows completely seperates from the roof of the plane and falls onto the seats. Guess where my original seat was.

The dash eights have taken over from the twin otters (so DHC-6 to DHC-8) as the glue that binds rural Norway together: The short-runway network has been subsidised forever, as part of a broad set of policies to stem rural depopulation. And yeah, having the pilot ask people to change seats to balance the plane is just part of the charm, much like flying from an airport manned by a single security guard where the waiting area feels more like outside a doctor's office.

One time when took a single engine plane in the South Pacific (and it was a piston engine), each passenger had to climb onto the ticket counter and get weighed on the baggage scale. It’s a better system for small planes than the pilot making a best guess or having people self‐report, but someone could have fallen and gotten hurt.

Speaking as a fat fucker, I find it way less sketchy to get on a scale before a flight rather than having a day at the fair with Capt Dave guessing your weight and you both win a shot if he gets it right. Granted, the second is more fun, but it is sketchier.

I wanted a helicopter scenic flight and they asked how much I weighed, so I just guessed based on my memory of last time + a few KGs. I said 90something. Then they put me on scales and I'm a fat gently caress literally with a cut of hot chip and gravy in one hand and a beer in the other... 114kg

CitizenKain posted:Best one I can remember is coming back to Missoula from Boise, we got near a large forest fire that was in the area. All of a sudden, the plane just plummeted for a bit after hitting turbulence. Thankfully, everyone was buckled in, as that would have really bounced someone around. Boise to SLC. Late July/August at probably three in the afternoon. Thin-rear end high desert air and the sun had been out for most of the day heating everything up. I think the only parts of that flight that were smooth were the taxis.

zedprime posted:There's a lawn mower sim now too. I hadn't heard about this and as expected there are some great negative reviews. The best part about  sims is that for every comment or critique regarding bugs, graphics, gameplay, or support, there is another that just has a lot to say about how that job or hobby should be accurately portrayed.quote:I really wanted to like this game but I am 100% sure that none of the developers mow their own lawns or even researched how they work or how the business. quote:No push mowers, no weed eaters, no grass juice flying out the mower chute, no grass sticking to the wheels, no mourning doves in the ambience, no even GETTING OFF THE MOWER... This is literally the bare minimum of the satisfying lawn mowing experience. lol there are multiple reviews that mention GETTING OFF THE MOWER as a critical missing part of the experience, I never knew it was so cathartic after a mow quote:I don't know what I quite expected from this game but I own a small lawn maintenance company. First thing I did was grind to get a scag to test out the striping mechanics and I was very let down. and finally, the rare person who realizes they could just go outside and do this quote:I went into purchasing this game because I love mowing lawns. Who doesn't! Now, take it from me, I've worked at a golf course for 3 years, and I tend to know how to mow some grass. This game attempts to bring lawn mowing to the next level, in a simulation. However, I have played this game for roughly 20 minutes, and I just can't see why anyone would even bother with this. Literally just go outside and mow your own lawn, or even better, ask go around and ask people to mow their lawns, since the developers decided to make the game 30$. I don't even know why they would charge that much for a game where you literally just mow lawns. Overall, really sad that the lawn mowing experience was just ruined, and I now going to go cry as I have to mow my own lawn. edit: also, simpsons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g4SCdox_pI Ror fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Aug 15, 2021 |

If you can’t finish the job by getting off the mower and standing there with your hands on your hips while you survey the lawn, there is literally no point.

I love Farming Simulator 19, and will probably buy 22 when it comes out, but I could use some accidents to liven up the game. I should be able to drown in a grain silo or a pond of pig poo poo.

If you're not forced to bu pirated John Deere software from Russian hackers to fix your own equipment and avoid going broke then you're not getting the real modern farming experience.

Computer viking posted:I still support Matenwa, the school in Haiti that was a GBS Christmas thing some years ago - they haven't posted any updates yet, but I'll mention it when there is anything. They're up in the hills of Gonave island, so at a guess the earthquake didn't hit them too hard; we'll see how the storm goes. Right, email update received: They're physically fine, though obviously the reminder of the devastating 2010 earthquake wasn't great, and many have family in the south.
