Picked up a couple stands so the surrounds don’t sit on the couch anymore lol
Saw somewhere they’re supposed to be a foot above your ears, does that sound right

 

Looking way better!

Enjoy some flicks and mess with tuning when you've got time.

 

once it’s all dialed it’s time for a dead space play through

 

There are multiple videos (even news coverage) touching on the latest of India 171.

Watched a few these last few hours and it's reported that the Fuel Cutoff Switches were both in the off position.

Makes me wonder if data captures a sort of timestamp to detect when the switch was switched from Run to Cutoff, because pilot discussions all state there's no way not one, but both switches to be accidentally switched to cut fuel off.

Learned a lot about the training pilots go over when it comes to troubleshooting, and when it actually occurs (altitude wise) and more.

Edit: Er it is timestamped. Man, wonder what happened if neither switched them off?

 

Something something anything but the metric system

 

Wonder if it was intentional, wouldn’t be the first time a pilot has taken a plane down with all their passengers on purpose. That or the guy just flipped the wrong switches thinking they were something else?

 

Well training states those shouldn't be used at all during the take off/flight time Air India experienced, and if it is used, only during single engine failure through a challenge and confirm procedure (more common).

And apparently, this would only occur once a specific altitude is reached so there'd be no need to run said procedure.

If you look at the report, one pilot asked why they cut off fuel with the other pilot stating he didn't.

 

This one rattled at me like crazy when I shined my light at it, first time hearing a rattler rattle like that in person damn

 

Man, more and more people are siding with 'suicide' being the cause.

But there's also this - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...UQFnoECBAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0wu-iweS5ygqwYuMuLzMDF

I’m about to dump this Nissan for $1100. I thought I was gonna have to pay to have someone take it away lol.

 

That's money towards the Yota at least

 

Yea I basically scammed myself out of 2 grand but it is what it is at this point

 

Just think of it as a $500/mo car payment for 4 months!

 

Or realistically just calling it what it is; a lesson learned (or maybe the 2nd or 3rd one now)

I sure as hell made some stupid financial decisions in my past

 

sometimes the best life lessons cost money. some shit can’t be learned for free

 

I’m thinking about learning a life lesson too…

 

@Sperrunner can tell you about van purchases

 

It was a cool van. Just wish i had the time to invest in it.

kinda wish i never sold it

 

That thing looks bitchin’! 4x4 van sounds fun

Is that how you filled 13k pages?
