Consume last of the contents of a Sailor Jerry bottle. Log into TEST. See some thread about buying another org ship. Send money to buy shiny new pixels. Wonder what booze carrying capabilities this new ship will have. Pass out.

Sir, you seem to have linked to the incorrect 'dare' themed song from the Transformers Movie. This one is the very essence of TEST:

I only learned last year that my great uncle (still alive) was a US marine who fought on Iwo Jima - he never had spoken a word of it to me. I have no greater respect than for those who fought in the most terrible of wars - it is our duty to remember their sacrifice, though they may wish to...

O HAI. I will have a hangover in teh morningz, kthxbye

This is TEST. There is no such thing as 'sufficiently hijacked'. Threads are not even sufficiently hijacked when a discussion of S4 fixed vs S3 gimbaled has turned into a debate regarding Aegis design cues on the Redeemer which then sidetracks into a tirade about the merits of toasted bread...

So jealous! Congrats on the spot landing award, and that formation rejoin of yours looked super clean!

I can't wait for the inevitable flamewar regarding whether SOTS should be watched in chronological or release order!

Unshaven made a very important observation - surge protectors that use MOVs (e.g. pretty much every cheap 'surge protector') are good for one solid hit only, after which they are compromised (with no indication that their surge protection capabilities are gone). For proper powerline surge...

Oooh... Aerobatic LSA with folding wings? I think I've seen those before in Kitplanes, but didn't take a look at the specs. Total kit cost doesn't seem bad. The Corvair engine route is appealing in theory, but I've heard too many stories of such conversions taking years to get dialed in - I...

Thing is, ethernet is transformer coupled, and some systems even have opto-isolation - that's how you can have a 300 foot run of ethernet between two systems with wildly varying ground potentials without letting out the blue smoke. I'd wager it's more likely that something took a hit from the...

You'd be surprised - I found that aviation is a pretty small fellowship, and there's lots of opportunities to do things that you might not previously have considered 'likely'. I'm just a lowly sport pilot (will be working towards my PPL this summer, hopefully) with maybe a tenth the time...

Man, I get woozy just from doing dutch rolls... Didn't realize we had a RedStar pilot here! I know who I'm picking for my flight lead!

I had always assumed we were just using the alcobet: A - Amaretto B - Brandy C - Crown D - Daiquiri E - Everclear F - Flask G - Gin H - Heineken I - Ice J - Jack K - Kahlua L - Long Island M - Martini N - Newcastle O - Olive P - Popov Q - Quality R - Rum S - Scotch T - Tequila U - Umbrella V -...

I sell the magical ship voucher to the highest bidder and use the proceeds to purchase beer.

Consider TEST your support group! Watching funny vids is good, but when a solid depression sets in, it's not quite enough. I find that getting some sun during these bleak times of minimal daylight helps a lot (and I should probably take some vitamin D as well [insert joke about wanting the...
