  1. Nopony really cares what I have to say anymore so I'm just going to go now.

    1. @abigpony You were the last person I expected to be supportive in this situation

      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:33:02 UTC from web
      1. @ceruleanspark @abigpony Yeah, I don't believe it. You don't care about anything.

        Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:34:02 UTC from web
    2. @abigpony Why do you care what I have to say?

      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:34:08 UTC from web
      1. @andranator2 Why /wouldn't/ people care what you have to say?

        Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:35:19 UTC from web
    3. @andranator2 you know, your the second person to do this today. Is it national whine on rainbow dash day?

      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:35:14 UTC from StatusNet Android
      1. @carcino I'm not whining!

        Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:36:02 UTC from web
        1. @andranator2 I am complaining. Do you want to HEAR whining?

          Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:36:48 UTC from web
          1. @ceruleanspark No, no, that's alright? D:

            Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:37:32 UTC from web
            1. @pinhooves alright.*

              Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:38:08 UTC from web
          2. @ceruleanspark No, instead I can explain how to use an E-6B flight computer if you want.

            Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:37:58 UTC from web
            1. @andranator2 I actually love learning random crap like that. Go for it.

              Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:38:32 UTC from web
              1. @ceruleanspark Sweet do you want calculating ground speed and wind correction angles first or speed conversions

                Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:40:46 UTC from web
                1. @andranator2 Calculating ground speed and wind correction angles sounds good to me.

                  Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:41:52 UTC from web
                  1. @ceruleanspark alright to calculate ground speed and WCA you first need to know the speed and angle of the wind you're flying in in knots and degrees true and you also have to know your true airspeed which can be found in the aircraft operation manual. The you slide the rotating peice of the E-6B on the body section until the gromet in the middle is on you're reference point (usually 100 for simplicity's sake) the you turn the dial so your wind direction is under the true index (arrow at the top) the you count up the lines up from 100 to your wind speed (if wind speed =30kts then count up to 130) you then make a PENCIL mark on the rotating dial at the line you've counted to directly above the 100. after that you rotate the dial so that your true track is under the true index but do not move the slide. After you have it in place slide the dial so your pencil mark is on your true airspeed. Now you can read your groundspeed directly under the gromet and your wind correction angle...

                    Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:53:19 UTC from web
                  2. @ceruleanspark cont.. by counting how many lines it is away from center. You then have the number of degrees right or left. If it's right you add the number to your true track to get your corrected heading or subtract it if it's left. Your groundspeed was already found underneath the gromet. Now you know which heading you have to use to go in the right direction as well as how fast you will be travelling over the ground.

                    1. @andranator2 I'm pretty surprised this process isn't more...digital actually. I looked up the E-6B to see what I was looking at. Guess I'm even less cut out to be a pilot than I thought.

                      Friday, 02-Dec-11 08:43:33 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                      1. @ceruleanspark they use digital ones for jets and such that have 1000+ button but if your fly a cessna with like 30 buttons you have to do a bit more work

                        Friday, 02-Dec-11 08:45:17 UTC from web
                        1. @andranator2 I'm totally unable to fly a jet because my vision is too poor. Might be able to fly a light aircraft or an autogryo though. ( I really want an autogyro.)

                          Friday, 02-Dec-11 08:46:38 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                          1. @ceruleanspark depends on how poor your vision is. Which country are you from?

                            Friday, 02-Dec-11 08:47:46 UTC from web
                            1. @andranator2 I'm in the UK.

                              Friday, 02-Dec-11 08:49:24 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                              1. @ceruleanspark oh, I'm familar with canadian air regulations but not air regs in the uk so I don't know what the licencing requirements in the uk are for a private pilots licence

                                Friday, 02-Dec-11 08:51:23 UTC from web
                                1. @andranator2 I can have my vison corrected if I really want, but I can't actually afford pilot training at the moment anyway, so I figure it can wait until I'm older.

                                  Friday, 02-Dec-11 08:52:31 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                  1. @ceruleanspark flying is something you can learn at any age really so it's just fine. I'm getting my licence through the air cadet program and if I get the scholarship slot I won't pay anything for my whole licence and training.

                                    Friday, 02-Dec-11 08:54:36 UTC from web
                                    1. @andranator2 I'm medically too crazy for any sort of military service under UK requirements, so I'd have to front the cost of lessons myself, and they ain't cheap. (On my salary, anyway. In a few years when I'm earning more, it's more of a possibility)

                                      Friday, 02-Dec-11 08:55:52 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                      1. @ceruleanspark they're not cheap anywhere but yeah if you want to fly don't every give up on it. Pilots (or pilots to be) like us live for the glorious feeling of flight. Always chase that high of flying. Good luck. Also it's almost 1am here so I'm going to go to bed now. My alarm goes at 6am then I have to go for my run. 5 miles every morning because I gotta keep in shape. Sometimes it really sucks though. lol anyway... Good Night

                                        Friday, 02-Dec-11 08:59:22 UTC from web
                                        1. @andranator2 This was pretty interesting. Thanks for discussing it with me! Goodnight! Sleep well!

                                          Friday, 02-Dec-11 09:00:09 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
          3. @ceruleanspark oooohhhh Cer, whine to me #

            Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:37:58 UTC from StatusNet Android
            1. @carcino New best hashtag ever.

              Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:38:24 UTC from web
              1. @scribus we are the new best people ever!

                Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:39:10 UTC from StatusNet Android
                1. @carcino Pfft, that's not new.

                  Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:39:54 UTC from web
                  1. @scribus True. I'm going to gi write a parody song now.

                    Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:41:18 UTC from StatusNet Android
                    1. @carcino Sweet. What are you parodying?

                      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:41:42 UTC from web
                      1. @scribus Some Crap by Katy Perry, my friend wants me to do it.

                        Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:42:43 UTC from StatusNet Android
                        1. @carcino Ah. Well, good luck with that.

                          Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:44:57 UTC from web
                          1. @scribus don't die in a gutter.

                            Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:45:42 UTC from StatusNet Android
                            1. @carcino I will probably not die in one, but if my body ends up there post-mortem I really have no say in the matter.

                              Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:49:23 UTC from web
                              1. @scribus I'll protect us. In the past. With alcohol.

                                Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:50:50 UTC from StatusNet Android
                                1. @carcino That sounds like a plan. Not a well thought out plan, but a plan nonetheless.

                                  Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:53:00 UTC from web
                                  1. @scribus yeah! Bed now!

                                    Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:53:46 UTC from StatusNet Android
            2. @carcino actually one of the things that has always confused me about this site is that when I whine everyone is nice to me.

              Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:39:44 UTC from web
              1. @ceruleanspark I don't catch you whining. And I play favorites. Is this not obvious?

                Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:40:45 UTC from StatusNet Android
              2. @ceruleanspark I try, but I get so tired of telling people "You don't have a problem. You're 15. Being 15 *is its own* problem."

                Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:41:12 UTC from web
              3. @ceruleanspark Because you don't do it constantly, and you're a good friend. :3

                Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:41:31 UTC from web
              4. @ceruleanspark I do my best to not be nice to anyone evey.

                Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:41:34 UTC from web
              5. @ceruleanspark 1. You don't do this often. 2. When you /did/ do this, it sounded serious as in suicide serious. 3. I am currently busy doing other things at the moment and there hasn't been much room for an opening into the conversation with them. (Excuse I know, but 3 other things isn't easy.)

                Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:44:56 UTC from web
        2. @andranator2 sure sounded like it. Then what is a post such as 'no body cares what I have to say' categorized under?

          Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:37:23 UTC from StatusNet Android
          1. @carcino Sorry that was but before I wasn't

            Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:38:59 UTC from web
    4. @abigpony so what sickness hit ya? Dano said you sounded pretty bad.

      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:35:56 UTC from StatusNet Android
    5. @abigpony ah, cool. We have a Sub in Animation every Friday for a while starting tomorrow.

      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:38:41 UTC from StatusNet Android
    6. @abigpony I highly doubt that.

      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:38:46 UTC from web
    7. @abigpony Aren't you literally composed of hate?

      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:38:56 UTC from web
    8. @abigpony yes! He said it like that too. And some Asian Freshman sat in your seat today.

      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:40:12 UTC from StatusNet Android
    9. @abigpony no. I would know if it was Benji.

      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:42:07 UTC from StatusNet Android
    10. @abigpony You've crafted the image on here that you hate everyone and everything. This is the end result of that process.

      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:42:42 UTC from web
      1. @ceruleanspark and I haven't?

        Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:43:01 UTC from StatusNet Android
        1. @carcino You aren't currently denying your hatred of all things and people.

          Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:43:24 UTC from web
          1. @ceruleanspark I don't hate me.

            Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:43:53 UTC from StatusNet Android
            1. @carcino I do that for you.

              Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:44:11 UTC from web
              1. @thatonepony I will someday pass the Holy anger throne to you, my friend. But not yet.

                Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:45:09 UTC from StatusNet Android
                1. @carcino kiwiING dole I AM A MILLION TIMES MORE ANGRY THAN YOU!

                  Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:45:49 UTC from web
                  1. @thatonepony no way, plus I'm old school on here. On like an OG and you're Young Blood ya dig?

                    Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:46:31 UTC from StatusNet Android
                    1. @carcino Your a stupid twat is what I dig.

                      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:47:22 UTC from web
                      1. @thatonepony you're* and Carl! Name calling is rude!

                        Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:48:24 UTC from StatusNet Android
                        1. @carcino I think the misspelling was a deliberate troll attempt.

                          Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:49:05 UTC from web
                          1. @ceruleanspark no, he does it all the time, I notice this.

                            Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:49:35 UTC from StatusNet Android
                        2. @carcino I hope you die in a hole. Filled with garbage juice. I hope you drown in it.

                          Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:49:14 UTC from web
                          1. @thatonepony Y'know when you're drowning in a substance it's actually irrellevant what the substance is. Your lungs can't taste or smell it.

                            Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:49:53 UTC from web
                            1. @ceruleanspark It would still be all chunky and murdock.

                              Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:50:26 UTC from web
                              1. @thatonepony Hey! Language! We don't say "chunky" here!

                                Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:51:00 UTC from web
                                1. @scribus Because it describes your apples so well, right?

                                  Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:51:39 UTC from web
                                  1. @thatonepony Ha! As if! I don't have nearly enough papayas to describe it as "chunky."

                                    Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:52:09 UTC from web
                                    1. @scribus Nega-chunky?

                                      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:52:41 UTC from web
                                    2. @scribus wait...do you not have my great cherries?

                                      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:53:20 UTC from StatusNet Android
                                      1. @carcino I . . . really don't know, I don't pay it much attention.

                                        Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:54:05 UTC from web
                                        1. @scribus dude. Chicks papayasing dig my papayas.

                                          Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:56:08 UTC from StatusNet Android

                          2. @thatonepony Silly boy, Garbages aren't apples! You can't make juice from them!

                            Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:50:20 UTC from StatusNet Android
                            1. @carcino I can and I will.

                              Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:50:41 UTC from web
                              1. @thatonepony I wish to see this.

                                Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:51:16 UTC from StatusNet Android
    11. @abigpony With the negative attitude you bring almost every day, I kind of do...

      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:42:50 UTC from web
      1. @pinhooves what about my negative attitude?!

        Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:43:24 UTC from StatusNet Android
        1. @carcino Being Karkat, you're an exception.

          Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:44:05 UTC from web
          1. @pinhooves that's cheap.

            Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:44:25 UTC from StatusNet Android
    12. @abigpony what indeed.

      Friday, 02-Dec-11 07:44:09 UTC from StatusNet Android
    13. @abigpony Well, I must admit it's a side of you I hadn't seen previously. Apologies.
