  @Av8rdan I’m one of those odd people that pays for a daily dead tree paper to be delivered to my home each day. Probably rubbed off growing up in a two-paper-a-day family. That, and sometimes I get “accelerated” info via Mastodon or BlueSky. And, if interesting, I might track back to a source.

  @paulknightly I treat Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram like a fax machine. I have the ability to send and receive faxes but I only engage with it when absolutely necessary. Maybe twice a year. I’ll only access certain services when I’m directed to something useful that I can’t get elsewhere. And that is usually once a month or less.

  @WiredForFlight One of our club members was flying around Wisconsin today, and was doing instrument approaches at KEAU. They started backed towards KFCM around 3:45 pm, but then saw (likely via ADS-B) that the early line of rain showers along the MN / WI border was firming up, and the larger line behind was not looking friendly. They made the smart move and decided to spend the night in Eau Claire. If they had waited it out, it might have been 11 pm before they could have departed safely.

  @younata@hachyderm.io @WiredForFlight@squawk.mytransponder.com Having been an AOPA member for more than 30 years, their stated reason to get rid of Pleasance is so bogus! I think it is time for the current Board to retire and move on. They’ve just lost their way.
