Got home from a Halloween party where I’d drunk half a bottle of wine and immediately sat down for a 400 mile flight through the Himalayas in Flight Sim. Take off was a bit hairy, the landing was one of the best I’ve done despite having to weave through some foothills to get to the runway. Turns out being slightly drunk is the secret to a smooth landing.

The CAA may disagree with this statement.

Not sure what I’ve interrupted here but I’m pretty sure it won’t be good for us.

I have completed my slow and meandering simulated flight from Lands End to John O’Groats. Six legs or so, gradually upgrading to faster planes as I went. Now I need to work out where I’m going next.

@TheBreadmonkey @jackeric I last watched it in 1999 (I know this because our secondary biology teacher got talked into showing it as the end of term film, she pressed play and then left, saying “I’m not watching it”). It still haunts me now.

I’d like to have words with whoever thought YAML was a reasonable programming language. This thought brought to you by a generated password containing a colon causing my Salt run to explode due to a YAML parse error.

Turns out autopilot approaches don’t work at some airports in Flight Sim 2020. That would have been fine if not for the thick rain clouds between me and the airport, I took several attempts at it, then diverted to an airport where I could see the ground.

I’d be annoyed by it but that was some of the tensest Flight Sim I’ve done and fantastic fun dealing with it.

The YouTube meta continues to baffle me as the boy watches a video of a person watching a video of a person watching a video.

This video has made my day, please enjoy: youtu.be/C4BGlbNKNRM?si=4ZPM4U

So far I’ve received seven separate emails and a phone call about my Curry’s order placed yesterday, fully expect a barrage insisting I review the product, the delivery driver, and Curry’s in general as well.

Shout out to the Curry’s warranty sales person who hung up the moment the words “no thanks” came out of my mouth. Neither of us wanted to be on that call, and you respected that.
