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.

I graduated with a B.S. and a minor in engineering so I could finish my engineering degree or get a masters in something else. The engineering degree would be super helpful down the road. The internship is really an odd thing. For that particular company, it's really the only way to get a foot...

I'm at a crossroads with jobs and am having a hard time deciding. I'm guessing a lot of people here have made similar decision so here it is.. I currently live in Grand Forks, ND and work hourly in the aviation field, specifically unmanned aviation. I've been graduated for about a year now...

I had close to the same thing happen a year ago and definitely learned my lesson there. Truck A slammed on brakes in front of me because he "wasn't paying attention". He hits the car in front of him. I hit Truck A because I didn't have enough time to stop and Truck A's hitch goes straight...

I feel like a bit of an "expert" on mouth paraphernalia. I've had three sets of braces, jaw surgery to correct an underbite, gum grafts, retainers and an expander. So I feel your pain. I got mine all done before college though so I've been pretty free since 18 or so. Just hang in there, you'll...

If I want a better burger, I go to Burger King hands down. The Whopper is 10x better than the Big Mac. I would say McDonalds has a little better variety though. Truth is I rarely go to either of them so what do I know..

Tattoo's. Although they are definitely making grounds.

With the recent weather, my Eddie Bauer Parka! That thing makes this -20 business a walk in the park.

I've been GAS'ing for one of these, my current wallet is still going strong though so I can't justify it. Once it wears out though...

^^ I would recommend a Baratza Encore. Doesn't break the bank and does a good job.

Got a couple coming from a recent college graduate just getting into big boys life. 1) Don't let women get in the way of friends and careers. 2) It's not about who's the smartest or does the job the best, it's who you know and how much they like you. And an optimistic one, put extra money...

Last night it was around -20 F. It's still -8 right now with a high temp of 4 for the day. Gotta love Grand Forks.... 2nd coldest city in the US!

They would need to be piloted, although one person may be able to pilot multiple aircraft in one area. The one we use takes a crew of two but that's on the safe side. Right now we need to have a rated manned pilot controlling the aircraft and one more person knowledgeable in aviation rules and...

Sorry to double post... But before we really get to the "unmanned" classes we are required to get our commercial pilots license. So I'm a fully qualified multi-engine, instrument rated pilot. I also am a certified flight instructor. Then once we are at that point we sort of transition to...

The system will cost you over $50,000 but once you own it it only costs you the electricity to charge the batteries. So high initial investment but very little operating cost. It costs a lot becuase it's from a reputable company like Aerovironment, has an electro-optical/infrared camera, and...

Like others have said, this will not happen in a loooooong time but it WILL happen.. Eventually... I graduated with a Unmanned Aerial Systems major in the spring so I'm very up-to-date with regulations, system capabilities, etc.. I can tell you the capability is there for smaller packages. We...

So to follow up on the question... I did not lease a new car and still have the Jetta. I got to the dealer ready to make it happen though and they started with "we made a mistake in our calculations....." Ended up being $70 more a month than they quoted so I said no and walked out. I still...

Well in the end you can buy out the lease for basically the remaining cost of the vehicle so economically I think they are fairly close. In my 3.5 year lease, I'd pay like 12000. Then I could buy the car for 10000 so that's maybe 2-3 more years of financing and then I own it. If I bought the...

So I'm thinking of trading in my 2008 Jetta for a lease on a 2014 Golf. I've never leased before but know a couple people that do. They've generally said go for it. I've done about as much research on leasing as I think I can and sort of have an idea of what to expect. Now I come to the...

There is a Nova documentary on this as well. They built an aircraft and a mock bomb and tried to reproduce the event. Pretty wicked stuff.

Cool! Huge fan of mustangs. Nothing like hearing that high-pitched whistling sound as it dives dives in.

June 13th?! Dang that's really late. I graduated high school mid May and I'm graduating from college next week, May 11. Anyways.. Congrats! I'll be graduating next week with my bachelors. I don't really think graduating is a big deal anymore though cause I can see myself going back to school...

So I'm about to graduate from college in 3 weeks with a degree in Unmanned Aerial Systems Operations. Basically the industry where I'd like a job is in it's birthing stages and there really isn't a whole lot out there right now. However, there is huge potential for some high paying jobs someday...

Is it too late!? PM'ing you.
