According to The Internet, it costs about $10,000 total to get a pilot's license. That means I can spend $10,000 on building a flight simulator rig instead, right?

So uh, I accidentally brought new guests in. Hopefully not permanent.
Too late π» -

Why just settle for a tool that allows you to live in a room, rather than go explore the real world? Simulators have their place, especially in ground-school applications to explain flight concepts to newbies and re-qualifying pilots.
Because I've always wanted to fly a plane but that seems like a terrible idea for a number of reasons -

"Interoperability as a tool for competition regulation" by @1br0wn https://osf.io/preprints/lawarxiv/fbvxd
Really interesting and deep analysis of how interoperability may be a path to better competition in the social media space. Pairs well with Cory Doctorow's recent book touching similar themes: https://onezero.medium.com/how-to-destroy-surveillance-capitalism-8135e6744d59

How did you master an ATEM mixer if it wasn't for doing the hours of practical work?
Say that gives me an idea... ATEM Simulator... you have to live switch an event and you lose points for every cut you mess up π -

Thereβs ongoing costs, too. You canβt just /keep/ a pilotβs license. You have to use it. If you donβt fly a minimum number of hours a year, you lose it. So youβll have to rent planes.
Lots of pilots sell βat costβ trips to travelers to fund their hours.
Yeah that's why I'm thinking this simulator idea isn't so far fetched π -

Hi world! I'm in Portland and I'd like you to know that it's quite beautiful outside and absolutely nothing is on fire. -
Aaron links to NASA's Send your name to Mars page where you can apply for a virtual boarding pass and get your name sent on the next mission to the red planet.
It reminded me that they did the same thing before the Orion mission in 2014.
But what if it isn't just a virtual boarding pass? What if it was for something more serious?
I wrote a short story at the time which I have re-posted here.

In general, everything would be better if we turned it over to the engineers.
Please no.

Doesnβt help you get to San Diego any faster though.
Not like we can travel right now anyway. tbh if they made a flight simulator which was just waiting in a boarding line and sitting in planes I'd play the crap out of that right now.
