I’m on the schedule for 15:00 to fly but I might get rained out. VFR only for me :(

Until then it’s staring at ForeFlight, praying for better weather, and revision time.

Learn the differences between VFR and IFR in aviation. Understand how pilots navigate using Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) for safe flying.

O'Neill inspired the first new grass-roots activist community devoted to space since the 1930s of the Verein für Raumschiffahrt, the British Interplanetary Society and the American Rocket Society.*

* The ARS had by this stage been rolled into the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, a thoroughly professionalized institution; the BIS continued in its quirky, part-time way, as it does to this day and will, I hope, continue to do for centuries to come.

Beartooth Pass (Wyoming and Montana) is on of the most scenic, challenging and fun rides in the USA. I have ridden it twice.

Check out this ride report.

Fixing the AWC URL on older MetarMaps

My CFI asked me if I could get the school’s METARmaps display board working again as it stopped working once the Aviation Weather site migrated to the new platform. There were many threads on the topic including an official post from METARmaps offering a paid upgrade to fix the problem without any instructions on how to fix it yourself. This is probably a good option for many, but I’ll throw a…

Lynn Beck's "Ultimate Run": a theoretical concept for when you have all* the Doom games and nothing better to do.

*not literally all of them, also feel free to skip any you don't have.

So basically this is an idea I just had (kinda, like I think I remember wanting to do this before). The idea is simple: play through the entire Doom franchise in release order, but in a way that includes both individual releases and any rereleases, ports etc. that feature unique content.

Here's the list (credit to doomwiki.org, which I used as a reference for when each game came out):

Doom episodes 1-3 (skip Thy Flesh Consumed for now, it'll come up later)

Doom II

Doom episodes 1-4 (The Ultimate Doom)

PS1 Doom (has unique levels; you can play this with a PS1 emulator, though if you don't want to a .wad that you can play in your sourceport of choice, and someone's probably also uploaded it onto Doom+Doom II's weird mod browser if that's your preferred way to play Doom)

Master Levels for Doom II (you can optionally replay Doom 2 before this)

TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment (Final Doom)

Doom 64 (main campaign only)

Doom 3 (specifically the original version, not BFG Edition. It's still available on Steam if you don't want to track down an actual CD-Rom copy, and the screen-size issues can be easily fixed (plus while you're doing that you can also turn on player shadows I guess), also maybe try it with the original "gun or torch" gameplay because it's actually not that bad, and if you really can't stand it then get the Duct Tape mod)

Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil (again, the original version, since apparently the BFG Edition version cuts out a lot of content; also feel free to replay Doom 1 and 2 here, with the Xbox levels because they came with this version of Doom 3)

Doom RPG (and, if you want to do a movie night and/or hate yourself, the 2005 Doom movie, which is the one with The Rock, not to be confused with Doom Annihilation)

Doom episodes 1-4 again, followed by No Rest For The Living (Xbox 360 Doom; NRFTL is included with Doom 1+2)

Doom II RPG

Doom 3 BFG Edition (and also its version of Resurrection of Evil, as well as the new Lost Mission expansion)

Doom (2016)

Doom VFR (this one's also optional, since you need a VR headset and not everyone has one of those)

Sigil (I'm also going to put Doom Annihilation, the other Doom movie, here; it also came out in 2019, and if you watched the 2005 movie you should also watch this one)

Doom 64 again, followed by Lost Levels (technically it would make more sense to put this after Eternal, since they released the same day, but whatever)

Doom Eternal

Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods, Part 1

Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods, Part 2

Sigil II

Doom 1, 2, Master Levels, TNT: Evilution, The Plutonia Experiment, No Rest for the Living, Sigil, Sigil II and Legacy of Rust (Doom + Doom II)

Doom: The Dark Ages (still not out at time of writing, and also not everyone will be able to run it probably)

Doom Resurrection and Mighty Doom aren't included on this list due to being mobile games that are no longer playable even if you own a device which has them installed.

rambling abt my hearing loss

sometimes i completley forget that i am hard of hearing since I am not fully deaf but it still definitley impacts me all the time. i was going to get dinner with a family member and i could barely hear what she was saying as we were driving and I was sitting next to her in the passenger seat. (I have a hearing loss in my left ear and so I have a harder time understanding and listening with people on my left.)

i still had a hard time when we were eating since it was so loud from the kitchen and the cars driving by. (we were in a waffle house so all the noisy stuff was close enough to be disruptive). i wish i was kinder to myself about it. I need to remember that it is a disability and that even if I'm not fully deaf that it is still disabling.

i remember when i found out my middle school spanish teacher was deaf in the same ear I have my hearing loss. it was nice to know that other people irl in my life had similar experiences to me.
