I’m going to be real with you. I use Voyager which looks like Apollo to me, so half the time I don’t realize I’m not on reddit. And frankly, I don’t care. I didn’t come here to avoid reddit content. I came here to avoid reddit client and company. If the content or conversation is interesting, I don’t give 2 craps where it’s from.

They could choose to point out Trump has not been found guilty of a 14th amendment offense in a court of law and enforce innocent until proven guilty and say after a guilty verdict, maybe.

Yeah! Anything you miss on the written they drill you on in the oral exam at the checkride. I got a 92% on my Private Pilot Written test over a year ago and the oral exam was three hours long on the day of my checkride. A high score here just serves as an additional data point for the DPE to evaluate you but they don’t trust the test fully anyway (rightly so!).
I missed 2/60 questions for a 97%: * IR.V.B.K1: Elements related to ATC routes, including departure procedures (DPs) and associated climb gradients; arrival procedures (STARs) and associated constraints. * IR.I.C.K3a: Calculating: a. Time, climb and descent rates, course, distance, heading, true airspeed, and groundspeed I took an online home-study ground school course with Aviation Training Center (www.aviationtrainingcenter.org). I had bought a lifetime membership when I was doing my PPL originally with them under another company name, so I was grandfathered in before their annual subscription pricing hit. I completed the course in about 3 weeks in my spare time (I have a wife, 2 young children & a 60+ hr/wk non-aviation career). After I completed the home-study course, I went the Sheppard Air study resource route and bought their IRA study kit. I spent around 30 hours going through that. People say it's just rote memorization. You could use it that way, but to be honest, I found it easier actually understanding the concepts and principles, and reading the provided explanations to better understand things. A few things in the explanations for the exam contradicted what the home-study course ground instructor said, so I found that extra helpful. The Sheppard Air study resource also points out questions on the FAA exam that the exam computers are scoring incorrectly. I saw one of those on my exam and trusted the Sheppard Air guidance to pick the wrong answer on purpose: it panned out as that wasn't one of the categories I missed. But having learned the right and wrong answer (and how to find the right one) from the Sheppard Air study resource, I'd 10/10 use that resource again. Well worth it. I rushed the studying piece and did all the 30 hours this week (my wife is amazing and really supportive), so I'd get the test in before the FAA changes it, which is scheduled for this Monday, July 31, 2023. They're reducing the allowed time to 120 minutes (from 150); but I only needed 33 minutes to complete all 60 questions in the test. They also announced they're adding 5 "unscored" questions, and supposedly they take this kind of update timeframe as an opportunity to reword and change up questions, so I'd allow the testing and study resources to settle a little if you're planning the IRA exam after 7/31/2023 -- give it a few weeks at least. I've got about 38 hours XC already, so now the fun begins: Flying with a CFII and maybe a safety pilot to complete the aeronautical experience requirements while preparing for the oral exam and checkride! Any recommendations from IR pilots for a PPL-rated IR student?

Yep, that was one of the places. Well not /c/communism directly, more like /c/latestagecapitalism showed up on my feed, which is essentially the same thing. I responded to a post without looking at the community, saying (respectfully) that I thought a 70% tax is ridiculous for any demographic or socioeconomic status and I wondered how and why innovation happens in that kind of tax system, and I learned how many ways my family could die at their hands and how I’m the reason death and disease happen in the world. The mods removed the threats but I removed my comment to stop them from returning. I didn’t know it was the communism part 2 /c/.
What’s worse is THEIR threats were being upvoted by the community and my respectful original comment and replies were being downvoted like crazy. It wasn’t just the commenters - the voters were complicit. I had ZERO upvotes other than my own. There isn’t a decent human over there if you’re not a communist. They want to kill you. They told me, in lots of ways.

I said I was a capitalist and a 70% tax was absurd - nothing else - and the next three comments direct to me had the most horrific insults and threats of physical violence against me and my family, the server owners removed them. If you’re level-headed and want to debate the merits of each system, you’re by far the exception.

You must have followed a lot of communities that like Twitter. This was not my experience. I don’t remember the last time I saw a Tweet on Reddit and feel like it was measured on one hand in months, maybe years.

Notice I never said the value IS infinity. I said it “goes to infinity” which is the mathematically correct way to describe what’s going on when considering the limit, at least on the positive side. Of course, because on the negative side of zero, the function goes to negative infinity, it makes the most sense to describe it as undefined, still. 😉

I fully understand tax brackets. I'm an Executive Director over a multi million dollar organization and core member of the financial and accounting teams, responsible for auditing income statements and the like. I also own a private business and do all the accounting and payroll myself.
The real problem here is, I’m a proud capitalist, and seem to have wandered into communist and/or socialist lemmy communities on accident because this post showed up on my home feed for some unknown reason. Pardon my making sense. I’ll see myself out.

Knowledge - 100%.
Practical - I wish. I was super prepared for my PPL checkride, did fantastic on Oral. DPE told me “your knowledge exceeds commercial standards.” Flight was fine. 6 hours total. 3 hours oral. 1.9 hobbs. 30 min break between for food the DPE requested. It varies from DPE to DPE.
I enjoyed my checkride experience, and passed, but don’t plan on doing anything else that day unless you consult several other students and they confirm shorter times.

I don’t care who it was the tax rate for, a 70% tax rate is stupid. Takes any incentive for working beyond a certain point out which stifles innovation and is the death of a growing and cutting edge society.

On the helpful side, that’s not true:
Settings >> Appearance >> Uncheck “Use System Light/Dark Mode” >> Check Dark Mode.
On the unhelpful side, I have never seen the appeal of light mode. Curious why people prefer it?

In calculus, things that divide by zero you really learn ״go to infinity” - just graph it and you’ll see! The smaller the denominator gets the larger the result. True, there is no actual value at actual zero. But isn’t sickness limited death? But my crap is still zero because of the numerator.

Can’t say I agree. I miss karma. Not because I want it, because I don’t care. But that imaginary internet point sure drives a lot of content - and even repeat content has a purpose to drive platform growth. I had like 1,000 subs and FREQUENTLY saw something for the first time that the tHiS iS a RePoSt people came out of the woodwork for.

Why “I assume you’re a lefty if you’re here”? I personally don’t feel that’s a helpful assumption from either (or any) party. Honestly everyone should register to vote - and do it! Everyone’s voice should count.

To be honest, as a dev very experienced in SQL, I'd love an opportunity to query info like this online, like SELECT-only permissions on a browser-based editor that removes any sensitive info before hitting the client. I'd love to play with this dataset and find cool trends. Am I weird?
