  • I lived the same “realization moment” last year talking to a friend.

    I was saying that I need to go home to wash my white undershirts as I only got blacks left (small t-shirt to wear under a shirt and not freeze to death during winter).

    He asked me why so I have several colors of undershirts.

    Well, black and grey for black or dark colored shirts, white for white or clear colored shirts otherwise you’ll see it behind the fabric, duuuh, are you dumb?

    The answer:

    Or you can wear white ones under dark shirts as well and it won’t be visible…

    🤔🤔🤔😧 FFS dude, why did I never thought of that?









  • Here you go: KLGA/04 N0452F380 DCT GAYEL Q818 WOZEE LINNG3 CYYZ/15L

    And OP is wrong, the flight is too short to use great circles (376nm gnd dist).

    But if you like nice routes, this is a (not flown) polar route between Tokyo and Paris

    Not flown because of the Russian Airspace ban so few airlines fly them (I think only Emirates, Qatar and JAL can still fly them).

    Others do the long “FIR avoidance route” like this Paris Hong-Kong

    Edit: Hell, I found an old PHNL-LGAV that is totally not flown IRL but it creates a nice straight north line that is indeed a great circle around the pole (7300nm)



  • It’s like religion or something.

    Well yeah, people putting money to buy several ships (instead of only 45$ for the basic game package) are buying into a dream. The dream of the perfect space sim, a sim where you can be anything you want. That dream has been growing since Elite in 84 and the X-wing games in the 90. So yeah, kinda religion for the space sim nerds.

    Im certain they will deliver, no idea when, but they will achieve it so that’s cool for future gamers. If earth still exists that will be awesome as I will probably be near retirement and will have a shit ton of time to play.

    PS: I only own a medium ship that I bought from the kickstarter funding back in 2010-ish ? I wanted it to be my flying space home.








  • I work on the apple ecosystem too, but it came from my tests of making an hackinstosh on an old Lenovo.

    It then discovered that I could use the same tools with the same shell language, doing the same tiling WM etc etc, all of that on an always working OS that I didn’t need to debug when shit got wrong (I was using Arch, BTW).

    From then on I always work on 2nd hand refurbished macs. My daily desk tool in an m2 Mac mini and this thing is amazing. Linux is now only present on my server and gaming PC.

    But maps are on organic maps, not apple 😉


  • FFS, today when you look for something on start page or any search engine you get YouTube links or AI shit from non related websites.

    • Video game solution? Check my 30 min video.
    • Tech problems? YouTube and AI telling you to update drivers and reboot, on a website named sport-something.
    • Error 26894? Fucking YouTube video again (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

    At the time you could put Reddit on your search but we all know that won’t be a solution anymore, plus, because of people like me most of Reddit results are now a chain of deleted - deleted - deleted messages 😄
