I've only ever flown IFR through/to bravo airspace before (MCI/DFW/HOU), but know I need those magic words to enter when I'm VFR. (Unless I'm too busy flying the plane to copy a number - ATC hates this one simple trick)

Flying into KMEM the other day on VFR flight following.

Recieved "expect visual runway 18R, maintain VFR" from approach, but never recieved explicit clearance into the bravo.

As I was a minute or so outside the outer shelf, I asked "are we cleared into the bravo?" To which the controller sounded annoyed and confirmed clearance.

I've asked a couple of CFIs, but got differing opinions.

CFI 1 said since my destination was the bravo airport and I was on flight follow

38y/o student pilot here.

100+ hours in the home simulator with 350 Landings and pilot Edge CAT ratings complete. For whatever that's worth...

I started training last Monday after passing my written exam and have 8 hours in a cessna 172 with my CFI and 27 Landings. We've gone through stalls, and all the acs maneuvers twice and spent the rest of the time in the pattern.

My instructor helped me with the first few landings and has added a couple inputs here and there for smoothness (I've ballooned twice) and says I'm ready to solo tomorrow after 3 in the pattern with him.

It feels easy to me, but I also feel like I'm missing something from reading reddit with people 30-50 hours befor

r/Kickboxing•

I just started training and want to practice at home. The better half has nixxed heavy bags or something like a wavemaster because we don't have much space.

I do have 2 load bearing columns, though. They're Roman looking, about 12 inches in diameter.

Is there something like a wrap or padding that can act as a heavy bag substitute? Or am I going to wrap it and kick my house down?

Tendinitis in Bow Arm

Hey all,

Brand new to archery. Never shot a bow before the 3rd of January.

Within a week of getting my new compound bow (PSE Ferocity) I've started getting really bad pain in my bow arm shoulder after the first couple shots of a session. I didn't push through the pain (well I did the first time for another 10 shots). Went to the doctor and got some anti-inflammatory meds and told not to pull a string back for 2 weeks. What a terrible start to a sport I've been wanting to get into for years!!!

I've been practicing by mysef from 20-30 yards for about 30-45 minutes a day for the first 5-6 days. So I'm relying on YouTube for form and posture help. I had no pro

I was in the car with a friend and his 13 year old heading to the gym for martial arts training.

"TechyB how was your Christmas?" - friend

"Good, but you know Santa didn't show up " - me

I referencing an inside joke we had from awhile ago where he and a few of my friends made fun of me for not telling my kids about Santa (because I dont want to lie to my kids and I selfishly want the credit for thier toys lol). During this original conversation he never revealed that he still tells his kids (13 & 17) about Santa. I assumed he didn't because they're teenagers.

"oh really, where was he?" - friend

"haha, oh you know, nowhere since he doesn't exist " - me

"oh he doesn't?" - f

Disclaimer:

I'll admit that I don't fully understand what shooting the whole episode in one take means. If that means it's a straight unedited cut of film or what.

So during episode 5 in season 3 (eps3.4_runtime-err0r.r00) the camera cuts around/through a glass e-corp door at 4:16.

How is this possible if they did the whole episode in one take?

My simple brain can only think of something like a Trick/moveable wall that is moved super quick before they keep moving around it.

EDIT: Thanks for clarifying that it wasn't done in one take, but painstakingly shot/edited to look like it. And I must say they did a bang up job!

I'd like to send a secondary DNS server to DHCP clients... You know just in case my itty bitty pihole takes a nap. I'd still like everyone to resolve some googles... :) I'm not finding an easy way to do that. Anyone else out there doing something like this?

Watching the CSPAN testimony of the former Equifax CEO in front of congress.

He just said "the data was not encrypted at rest".

Seriously? Plain text socials?!?

Unpatched systems and vulnerability scanners didn't work. Whatever. Encrypt my SHIZ yo!!!
