Any time I see an article like this I'm baffled. Apparently a bunch of CFOs think we'll get a recession in 2023. Are they unaware of what a recession is? Unaware that Q1 22 was already negative? Are they all that fucking stupid and oblivious? It's no wonder the best we can get are Powell and...

Elevated means they'll admit to something like 9 or 10%, when reality is it's probably above 25%.

They were flying single seater F/A-18E's (although the reality is they were all F's so the actors could sit in the back seat and film).

I think I may be throwing in the towel. I didn't log in two days ago and only una's yesterday. Logged in today with like 2 minutes before Thunderwings, did my bifrost, and the game gave me the can't connect to server error. I just said fuck it and didn't even try to log back in. I realized that...

It's almost entirely white men. There's an occasional white female. I'm trying to recall a single black or asian pilot that ever rolled through and I'm coming up blank.

Shit, I completely forgot he was supposed to be in the movie. That's got to be a super bummer to be cut out from the biggest blockbuster since 2019. This interview he just seemed depressed.

This is when you need to have the conversation with yourself and your wife about how much is "enough." And also, whether you're the type of person who can relax and not work. I've been putting off my early retirement post for a while now, and will likely continue to do so cause I don't really...

I saw this as a trending movie, looked up reviews, and said "nope." Pretty sad, but the most common review was "this makes Venom look like a masterpiece."

I'm just barely hanging on. I've only been logging in to do una's and then chaos on my main. Haven't run an abyss in 2 weeks, and I'm pretty sick of running the same guardian raids over and over. Haven't been doing any of the daily content either (islands, chaos gate, bosses). Really the only...

I'm on something like 13 or 14 fails on weapon from 17 to 18. Go fuck yourself.

Well that was just fantastic. The movie felt like a love letter to Naval Aviation and the F/A-18. Makes me miss working for the program, but also a little regretful for dropping out of being a Naval aviator myself (all the way back in 2011 when I first heard the movie was in early talks...

Feel bad for @Voldeth. He's never going to get his reaper at this pace.

So probably another two weeks for Vykas, and a month and a half for Arcanist.

I worked at the end of the runway where the scene with the little building has its roof blown off (and the motorcycle rehash scene, among others). Pretty much every single day you'd be on a phone call and have to tell the person on the other end to hold for jet noise. My wife worked on the...

Got excited when I saw the description as rogue lite Peggle. Turned on a Twitch stream and it looks like...ass? The original Peggle 15 years ago looks amazing compared to this. Why would anyone pay for this?

Haven't seen the movie yet, but F/A-18 pilots (and others) definitely do fly through canyons to practice. The one near us when we were out there is called Star Wars canyon. Planes will fly from China Lake, Fallon, and Edwards to practice there. They'll fly as low as 200 ft off the ground, which...

Right, but Top Gun is a Navy school, the characters are Navy pilots, and the F-22 is an Air Force plane. There's not really a way to do that.

HSA is the ultimate savings vehicle. As long as you anticipate one day having medical expenses of some sort, it's the most tax advantageous account type that exists.

It's awful. Imagine if instead of just getting a failure on honing after +15, it dropped to +14. So you'd get enough mats to +15 again and then try for +16. Each successive hone becomes more difficult, but also every failure drops one level. It feels terrible. Worse though is accessories...

Oh, I 100% would have quit a while ago. BDO's system is what caused me to quit that one. Blowing up accessories because you failed, or losing a level on regular gear, is dog shit.

I'm getting to the point of "why?" I've started to let all my alts rested bonuses pile up because the daily content just isn't fun anymore. I've stopped doing islands because, well, the RNG on them is so piss poor I just get annoyed. Heck, I haven't even run any abyss this week. I'm almost done...

It's the only cooking show I can actually watch. US ones are full of manufactured drama or just so over the top that I can't even pay attention.

I don't really go to movies anymore, the last one being Endgame, but before that the first Star Trek remake all the way back in 2009. I was absolutely excited for this one, no doubt, due to my connections to the community, but I hadn't really planned on going to an actual theater. I figured...

Pretty much. I remember meetings probably back as far as 2015 where they expected the F/A-18's down to just one carrier squadron by 2024. Every year it'd get pushed back more. Last meetings I went to it was in the 2030s. They are up to one F-35 squadron on the carriers now though! That said...

I've never seen one. Think the best I got was one for 1k? Usually I get nothing, and maybe every 5th I get an extra 100g.

I was going to make a post that I expected today to be another 2-3% move, just wasn't sure which direction. Which is insane. You can almost count on that big a move every single day.

Due to some ungodly luck in the last week, I hit 1445 on my bard. This is after switching mains a few weeks after Argos release. I think I was at maybe 1340 - 1350 at the time. Not really sure what to do next. I could try getting my blade to 1400 (currently 1388), or go for +20 weapon on the...

I grouped for the first week or two and people in chat were talking about doing them solo. I kept running into the same problem of people being retarded, so it was a welcome relief to run them solo. Haven't grouped since.

You group them? Wtf?

Speaking of, these chaos dungeons are starting to become real ass cancer as a support. They're probably fine for dps, but I just don't put out nearly enough damage, so it's a slog trying to get through them. They've become my least favorite thing to do anymore.

Down markets don't just go red every single day. There's lots of volatility on the way down. That's what makes it so hard to time the bottom. This could mean nothing or it could be the recovery. The idea that this is short lived is kind of weird though. It's 5 months of red, culminating in a...

Wait, they haven't started shrinking their balance sheet yet? I guess I missed that. Thought they were starting in like February or March.

Spoilering the posts. They're in the Top Gun thread.

Also, on your rant, North Island 100% has a runway capable of landing a jet. Why they decided to say the Top Gun school was there, I don't know, but it's definitely feasible.

It's CGI fuckery, because it was a Blue Angels jet. I'm also not 100% sure I buy this idea that it blew over the building. I honestly don't remember that well, but I remember a building being there multiple days. Whether or not that was pre or post this shot I can't recall. I will say they flew...

Edit: Nevermind, too political for this thread.

Yeah, I'm starting to sour on this show a bit. Everything with Sally and that stupid little girl is awful. The Noho stuff is kind of becoming Flanderized. Barry (and Cousineau) is a bit hit or miss right now, but the tone isn't funny anymore.
