  • I mean that’s essential when your HAL malfunctions right? ;-)

    I have the upmost respect for pilots… I don’t know that many personally… although one flying lesson comes acutely to mind:

    I was in the back of a small plane, not even sure there was a seat… though I believe there was a lap belt. My old boss was in the passenger seat, his friend was giving the lesson, the GPS was blaring “Altitude, altitude, altitude!” every 30 seconds…

    Took all my self control to concentrate on not crapping my pants :-) But still an amazing experience. Glad I went!

    You make a wonderfully narrative point about the necessity of all those acronyms. I’m curious what was in your pods?











  • LOL 😂

    I mean, buying a two year-old one is probably the only way to guarantee that you don’t have to fucking root it with a bunch of ADB commands… at least one of which will be left out of the tutorial, which you will have to watch five times, on reduced speed, because it’s a video tutorial made by a 13 year old or developer with a thick accent*.

    • I’m going to get called out for racism here… it’s not. I love anyone who takes the time and effort to put together a tutorial that I need to watch to get stuff done… but I do miss written instructions 😢
