17yo student pilot lands her plane without a wheel (2018)
VASAviation is a great channel, it’s all real air traffic control radio communications. They’ve got everything from pilots landing on the wrong runway, sick or injured passengers. If you haven’t checked it out before, I think this is a great one to start with: a 17yo student pilot flying solo loses a wheel, and flight instructors provide guidance and moral support to help her land safely. The channel is full of ATC communication from other similar incidents including everything from other successful recoveries to some fatal crashes.
Teaching young kids about work reform? I approve!
What other countries have a 4th of July?
The 2018 roller coaster (10261) is still fun, 5 years later
We bought some new roller coaster cars on BrickLink because a couple of the wheels/axles were just slightly worn and the cars wouldn’t make it all the way down. Now it works great! I was surprised at how it can still be a really creative set for the kids, they don’t try to modify the track (that’d be too hard to make it work), but they have fun building it into a whole amusement park with other Lego sets and bricks.
Best tutorial teaching how to set up VS Code for common languages?
One of the most common questions that comes up involves trouble setting up VS Code - in particular if you want to not just use it as an editor, but set it up to fully run and debug your code. Obviously the details vary by platform on language, so I’d welcome any resources you think are particularly good that specifically walk a beginner through how to set up VS Code on Windows with Python, or how to set up VS Code on macOS with C++, etc.
ELI5: If you're a Christian, why do you have to be good if Jesus will forgive you no matter what?
I grew up going to church but I’m not religious now and I never really understood this part. Please, no answers along the lines of “aha, that’s why Christianity is a sham” or “religions aren’t logical”. I don’t want to debate whether it’s right or wrong, I just want to understand the logic and reasoning that Christians use to explain this.
If you play C, E, G it's a major chord, and if you play C, E flat, G it's a minor chord, but what if you play C, F, G. Is that a chord? My piano teacher replied...
I asked my daughter, "you reached for a marker and accidentally drew all over your hand"?
