Never said it was easy, but it doesn’t spend every penny of your money.

You don’t even have to go into debt for the bachelors degree; you can join with whatever job isn’t likely to deploy you (more jobs than you’d think aren’t really deployed) go to college free while in (doesn’t count against GI bill or anything), and then apply for a rate change to the pilot program.

Sure it means more military, but again, doesn’t spend all your money.

There is even a way to use your gi bill for flight training (you have to have a private pilots license already, but that’s a lot cheaper than a commercial one, and pass a medical qualification) so you could hypothetically serve 4 years as whatever rating, get your private license and then have the rest of your training covered.

Or get training in the military for free while getting paid for it, as a lot of pilots do, and have done.

In the 80s, 2/3 of commercial pilots had prior military, today it’s still about a third. (Service branches have a pilot shortage, and require over 10 years on the contract due to the cost of training with their advanced craft, which is likely a big part of why the number is so low today).

“Hate to be that guy but…”

“I stopped at “but”. I also hate that guy. Bye.”

So your stance is “if the land owners want to fuck up a potential historical landmark for everyone else, they can, regardless of what society as a whole wants; private property is king, and rich people rule the rest of us.”?

Sorry, but I fundamentally disagree with that mindset. As does most of society, and the government, hence historical districting, which is mostly privately owned.

I agree, it was explicitly for the shotgun part, the rest is too cumbersome to be useful (and frankly so is the shotgun limiting your leg movement…)

None of it is a good design, but let’s be real about the intended market for it - cosplaytriots and tacticools don’t care about actual practicality :)

You could check out ghostery bowser if it’s available, it has a pretty robust design for trackers. Idk if it would be a privacy score, persey but it tells you all about the trackers it sees on the site, what they are for, how often they are seen, etc. (like a space dot com article had 71 total trackers: 46 advertising trackers, 9 site analytics, 6 cdn, 3 auto video player, 2 misc, 2 essential, 2 social media, and 1 hosting). If you click into the details it gives a hefty report of who is collecting the data, so it breaks down who each of the 46 advertising trackers are, for example.

It’s not forgiving at all, in my experience. But the iOS ghostery dawn browser hasn’t been updated in a while (in favor of their safari extension) and I’m not sure what the android version is like.

Might be worth a look if that’s something you are interested in. The dawn browser also lets you open everything in ghost tabs by default, and when you clear those, it clears all trackers that may have been set. It also seems to spoof location information, because every site I visit thinks I’m from a different part of the country.

With the appropriate ! bang from the address bar

What does this mean? I want to like DuckDuckGo, but it’s kinda messy.

~~Righteous indignation~~ a fit of pique will do that, and I’ve been guilty in the past of the same.

No worries. I’m not painting with a broad brush, I’m recognizing myself in a way the others relate to :)

Have a great morning/day/afternoon/evening/night, depending where you are :D

Edit - I didn’t realize that righteous indignation has a specific religious meaning. I was aiming for less religious and more just sort of …defending the downtrodden. Is there a better word for that?

Edit 2: I learned strikethrough for this edit and it worked!!
