The vertical piece of metal is indeed a throttle friction control. It's almost like a wrench that sticks in that slot and adjusts and nut below, although I'm sure that one is there permanently. I've flown things with a similar system although the ones I've flown the metal piece can come out...

Seems like subscriptions are the new thing. Now you can get shaving equipment, gifts, hell I heard you can even get a condom subscription. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Looks like you pay $60 a month and they sent you an outfit based on a style you chose. Anyone already do this? I'm...

2014 Subaru Forester New ones can be had low 20s. Pros: Lots of room, REAL AWD, great mileage (I average high 20s in town), and subarus are known for being reliable Cons: Not the manliest looking crossover and you might get called a lesbian now and then, they aren't flashy (basic bluetooth...

Same thing happened to my alma mater, University of North Dakota. We were most recently called the "Fighting Sioux". The name was actually "OK'd" by the local sioux tribes (they had some sort of blessing ceremony) and all was good for a long time. Our mascot was drawn by a Sioux artist, lots of...

Not really but I suppose one could argue.. We suspected the guy on the street bike was going well over 70 and this was a 25 mph zone. There is a stoplight about 3-4 blocks downroad where he took off from (we heard the rev) and then only a couple seconds later he ran into the car. So literally...

Witnessed something along those lines.. Back in high school I was riding my pedal bike with some friends down our Main Street. I saw a car turning right and heard a street bike rev up and a couple seconds later smash into that car that was turning right onto the Main Street. The guy on the...

That's awesome^^ Definitely my first time at a bar alone. I don't mind all that much, just thought I'd see if people had some interesting stories. Probably the same thing will end up happening tonight unless I find someone at this work thing that will come out. The worst part? GoT finale is...

So here I am at the bar alone. I'm on a work trip by myself so figured I'd check out a local brewery or two while I'm here. There are like three other couples at the bar though. They probably think I'm some weird loner ya know? What would you do? Sit there like you don't have any friends...

I realize I'm a little late on the conversation here BUT.. My field of work is currently Unmanned Aerial Systems. I graduated from the University of North Dakota with that degree and am currently working on research with the University to get Unmanned Aerial Systems integrated safely into the...

Recently purchased a Timbuk2 backpack, can't remember the name of it and it appears they don't sell it on the website anymore but very nice quality bag. I can't stand how nearly everything these days is a "laptop" backpack. I don't have a laptop, I have an iPad and I don't need some huge sleeve...

Check out Switcheasy cases. They have many different types from lots of protection to minimal protection. They are all very reasonably priced though and shipping is fast. I bought the Switcheash Numbers case for my iPhone 5C and have no complaints.

I've been flight instructing for the past 2 years and have the hour minimums to go the airline route. So yeah I could become a commercial pilot. However.. The starting salary is AWFUL.. You go to a regional airline and the first year you're looking at a salary somewhere in the upper 20K and...

Yeah for about 3-4 months :hmm: I was born and raised North Dakota so it's not like I hate it here, in fact I probably appreciate it more than most people that come. I'm just looking for a change of scenery is all. And just to clarify for everyone, I already graduated with a B.S. in...

I guess the part I didn't really mention also is I talked to someone working for Option B and he said it's basically a dead end job. They are a little slow on work now and it's hard to move up in the company.
