Serious question: could this work in reverse if you took a fecal transplant from someone with “severe” autism and gave it to someone below the ASD cutoff?

I’m really sorry you feel that way.

I’m very thankful for the stability and opportunities being a union member has provided my family since I left the tech field, and I wish my friends still in tech could enjoy the same QOL rather than all of us being worse off and upper management being even richer.

The article touches on this. Pilot wages are very similar across major US airlines due to heavy unionization and pattern bargaining, so labor is more-or-less a fixed cost (and not the biggest fixed cost). Additionally, pilots can and do take pay cuts in lean times. The pilots at my own airline saw a 20% pay cut in the contract following 9/11 and very reduced wage growth for a decade after that. Management took something like a 5% cut and kept the retirement benefits we lost.

Edit: I thought I recognized your name, I see we discussed pilot unions together on HN a few years back. Can I ask what you have against us? Out of genuine curiosity.

Thanks for sharing! Good luck to you as well.

What deck are you using? I’ve been wanting to supplement my Spanish learning with an Anki deck for a while now.

For what it’s worth, I am washing them in a top loader. I wonder if that does make a difference.

It’s uncomfortably close to bribery, but Precheck/Global Entry is worth every penny.

I agree with you about the breathability of those merino t-shirts, but I think the author is right about their fragility. I feel like mine constantly get runs or shrink even though I’m careful (I’m a frequent business traveler and they do get heavy use). I’m considering switching back to traditional undershirts.

May also happens to be the month construction began on one of EWR’s two commonly used runways (though they do have a smaller third runway). This severely reduced the amount of traffic the airport could handle and EWR attempted to keep operating the same amount of scheduled flights as usual, it was a real mess.

A note for Kobo users: a lot of us (myself included) use Calibre to manage and upload our ebooks. Something about Calibre messes up Kepub files and strips out a lot of the formatting (including the book’s cover).

If I want to appreciate a nice Kepub from Standard Ebooks, I upload it directly to the Kobo.

I contacted support in 2021 as well, trying to regain access to my account made in 2010. They told me that they wouldn’t help me.

RNAV RNP approaches can contain curved descents. They’re usually used in areas with high terrain but I don’t see why they couldn’t be used down here. LPV minimums seem to usually be very close to ILS minimums these days.

That said, it’s always nice to have a ground-based alternative approach. I wonder if they have sustained issues with GPS this far south.

Grew up in ND/MT. In my experience the ranchers would use a tractor to move the carcass somewhere deserted, and then let the coyotes do the final clean-up.

I’m not sure I have any suggestions on how to fix it, but the Skypath integration with the moving map in Jepp FD Pro is way too cluttered. There’s already quite a bit of information in Jepp and the bright colors from Skypath really wash out all the other information. I haven’t seen many pilots use it more than once.

You guys have a great product, I fly for a major airline and really like it. Hurry up and get Delta onboard so we can get their data too: I’ve used their in-house app at my old job and Sky Vector is much better.

Any plans to change the Jepp integration? Most of my colleagues don’t use it, too much data displayed at once. I’m not sure of a solution but would love to hear if you guys have any ideas.
