Just did… I mean, it is pretty much a Manhattan plus a little bubbly. 😎 Gonna have to give that a go!

I was also referencing the table setting. Great minds, yada-yada…

Life is good! A good life is even better!

I swear I didn’t see this before posting mine today! Looks like it was delicious!

Nice to see the sun again… perpetually grey skies made a short week feel very long.

It is sad… still, Slava Ukraina!

Indeed. But surprisingly, the ties aren’t red.

How can anyone take this seriously? I mean… it’s Heritage, for one. But those shills are wearing sneakers with suits!

But he’s done it so many times! Usually the jump is the sign of a show’s imminent demise. For the love of all that is good and holy, when will this one end?

Indeed. It is a beautiful thing to behold. Even more so to be a part of it!

Maybe even its weight in latinum! 🖖

Thanks for the revector. Glad to hear that perspective/experience and I should have given our docs more credit. We face a similar disincentive in our ICBM fields, though I think we’ve made some strides. As on a flight deck, schizophrenia doesn’t fly in a Launch Control Center, but MI is a spectrum.

So, yeah… essentially what @chemotaxis.bsky.social said.

Understood, which drives the individual disincentive to disclose/seek help. My comment was specific to military aviation and our shortage of pilots, thus the institutional incentive not to care even if they do recognize they are driving said individual disincentive.

Is it really that they haven’t realized it, or that they just really don’t care as long that pilot can get in the seat?

Or at least until the orcs have gone home.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

In truth, it’s a job for overland routes not makeshift maritime solutions. Until those routes are opened and real security provided for convoys, there’s no way to meet the level of need.
