Hi.
I’m a father of two, software engineer (BSEE, MSCS), private pilot (ASEL, IR, AGI, IGI), and author. I’m also coordinator of the IMC Club Nashua chapter and a former IETF regular.
I’m here because Twitter has become less inviting than the flaming dumpster floating by on route 51.

This is a pretty cool map! (I live along one of the highest-elevation borders in the east, between Virginia & West Virginia.)

Hey, Amazon, we just had a fresh rain, so if you want to send over more trucks to tear up our lawn and then leave without even apologizing, now’s the time! You’ve sent two in the last month. I know you have more.

I felt like I was losing my mind watching this person's remarks and had to write about how disgusting they are.
Sarah Hurwitz Profanes the Holocaust
Holocaust education has worked too well for the Obama speechwriter, since when she rationalizes Israel's genocide, "I sound obscene." Maybe sit with that, Sarah

Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

IATA urges International Telecommunication Union & regulators to strengthen safeguards for ✈️ safety systems as 5G & 6G 📡grow. It is vital that future telecom policies prioritize aviation safety. Especially as next-gen resilient equipment won’t reach airlines until the 2030s.

This is worth watching both for getting to see Bill Maher’s joke bomb again but maybe more so to see Sam Seder rant for 8 minutes about Bill Maher saying he gave up going on the road doing stand up because he considered himself too funny to be doing it

Honored to join the MA High School Dems Summit this weekend. Thank you for leading the way. The fight ahead won’t be easy, but together, we will win.

I just accidentally dropped a small plastic lid on the floor and it landed interior side up. I feel like I should have good luck all day. Not quite like Dick York in the “A Penny For Your Thoughts” Twilight Zone episode, but close.

Been reading this lately. Definitely a good read for CFIs and PPL applicants.
Pilot Workshops does really good in general so was not shocked they are still doing well with this ACS breakdown.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Last night, I was proud to once again cast my vote for @kaine.senate.gov's war powers resolution. Going to war without consulting the people is what monarchies and dictatorships do. Strong democracies must be willing to debate these issues in the light of day.

All I ask is that you don’t act like an ass in the replies. That’s too much for some.
I get the impulse, but it’s not really possible. First of all, many of those are either contract towers or untowered airports. Second, it takes a long time to train and qualify a controller for a new position. You can’t just “move” them. They’ll be trainees at the new site.
