    TEST Polaris fund donation drive!

    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.

    When people ask me to describe TEST

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

    Now and then. 72yrs ago today.

    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...

    State of the Squadron 17!

    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!

    State of the Squadron 17!

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

    House took a lightening hit, electronics fried

    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...

    Another Fun Formation Aerobatics Sortie IRL

    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...

    House took a lightening hit, electronics fried

    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...

    Another Fun Formation Aerobatics Sortie IRL

    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!

    You have a Magical Ship Voucher, what do you get?

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

    Been feeling depressed. Need some help staying positive.

    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...

    I passed the pilot exams!

    Welcome fellow pilot! I'm not sure that anyone who gets their license is really sure how they managed to pass their exams and checkride. Fortunately, TEST requires neither, so you are already overqualified!

    Where are the discarded beer bottles and kegerator?

    [poll] So 2.0 Baby PU launched, does Anti-Squeaker still have to eat a hat?

    Oh, I agree, this is far from a PU alpha. We just want to see you eat a hat. The reasoning behind why you're eating said hat is utterly inconsequential. Can you eat a hat for us? Pretty please? Eat it. Eat the hat. EAT THE HAT.

    You're crewing a Constellation. What is your post?

    Poll must be broken - I'm not seeing 'Bartender' as an option.

    Couldn't possibly be a TEST headquarters. The bottles are still full.
