    Flying Private: Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    On a somewhat unrelated note, I just got off the phone with Sweet Aviation (a private jet company in my hometown that offers training classes for getting a private pilot's license). I have a "discovery flight" scheduled on May 11th.

    Opportunities in Pickleball?

    IDEA 
    This is wild. I remember being taught how to play pickleball in gym class back in 2015 during my freshman year of HS, and wondering why we were learning this random sport. About a week ago my wife went on a walk in the park in our small town. The park just recently build a few pickleball...

    My path to greatness. No distractions. No disturbing outside noises. Focus.

    I think it's good that you are posting this thread to the forum. When you post something this simple to the forum it can help you keep a record for yourself of what you did on what day, and you have a kind of accountability because someone can DM you saying "Hey, I saw what you said X number of...

    Flying Private: Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    It's been about a week since I last posted, but here is where we are right now: We are looking at two weeks (from Tuesday) until we officially launch. Our small team of myself and my two friends have a few high-priority tasks to finish up before then: We divided the tasks between us. I chose...

    My challenge with books

    BOOKS QUESTION 
    This goes for anyone reading this, but to preface I'll tell you that my philosophy on this is Aristotelian (and Thomistic as well because Aquinas backs up Aristotle a lot). The virtue being developed when you read is that of prudence. The reason for this is because when you read, you are...

    One more note for my daily report: I'm not trying to be like "Hey what color of [insert fancy car brand] should I get?!" but I am very sure this business can make my current yearly salary in under month even with the following in consideration: We take 5% of the operator's compensation for a...

    That's good to hear! I've been meaning to watch it but haven't had a chance yet. It seems like a lot of game developers have been really trying to make sure their movie adaptations don't end up being cringe.

    EXECUTION 
    Cool to hear! I'm looking into becoming a private pilot myself. As far as progress goes, it's slow and steady as of right now. My friend talked to a business of private operators in our hometown about our website and they said that it sounds great! As far as what I personally was working on...

    BOOKS MINDSET 
    Book: Mere Christianity Author: C.S. Lewis Rating: 5/5 Great book. It's a "must read" if you are Christian. Lewis offers a fantastic insight into very basic points of the Christian faith (hence the "Mere" in the title) such as Natural Law, the principle of why we believe in Christ, and a...

    My 1/5/10 Planasy (Previously titled: Do people share their 1/5/10 Planasy and Escape Number Calc...?)

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    I actually created an excel sheet to calculate your escape number. If anyone wants a copy let me know and I can send you one! (If you haven't calculated your Escape Number before, do it first with pen and paper and then you can utilize this sheet for adjustment later on.)

    Do you mean "mixing words"? Because ironically that's what you are doing here :rofl: Sir, that is definitely not what complete self confidence means. "Being aware of what you do and do not know" is humility, and confidence (etymologically speaking from the Latin "confido") means trust, that...

    Perhaps you didn't read the ending. He was trying to undermine complete self-confidence, which is arrogance. I am very sure that Chesterton agreed that one should have some level of understanding of their value or dignity.

    EXECUTION 
    4/10/2024 Got started with coding and working on solving one problem at a time. First issue I decided to tackle was to figure out how to make airport selection proximity-based (for example, within a 50 mi radius) instead of city-based. This is technically the first big project I've worked on...
