interesting site that @yakumo_izuru and @freemo made me aware of:
https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/berserker.town
it's for fedi instances to endorse or censure each other. seems better than that fediblock nonsense.
seems to have API issues with Misskey. not sure how it reacts to Akkoma, Pleroma, etc. can hopefully be patched, it the maintainer is responsive.
There is literally only a **single** state in the USA where you still control autonomy over your own medical records (prescription drug list) and that is MO!
That means if you are in any other state and ever had a prescription doctors can find out what it was and who prescribed it. That means doctors can find your past doctors without your approval.
The scary part? You also have no control over your medical records. So your PCP can now legally look this up and contact all your past doctors for medical records and you cant do anything about it, you cant legally stop them, you cant purge your records, you cant purge your prescription list.
This is very scary for anyone who has been abused at the hand of a past doctor and moves.. If they have put any negative information about you that might make future doctors hostile towards you or not want you as a patient... there is nothing you can do... that is so scary...

@freemo I don't know what definition they're using, but where you want to look is here: https://vfrmap.com/
It's a map of airspace, cobbled together from the maps regularly published by the FAA. You'll see a magenta line labeled "CONTIGUOUS U.S. ADIZ". That's the one that matters.
My best guess is that IFR (instrument-based) flights that file a domestic flight plan and remain tracked the entire way through can skip going through customs but VFR (visual-flight) are not tracked the whole way and would thus be subject to customs.

@freemo It is essentially unregulated, but there are international conventions pilots follow to prevent accidents and such.
The real bitch of it is, though, that if you go even a little bit out over international waters, then when you get back, you're required to go through customs.

@freemo Yeah, that's because Ultralights are also allowed in class E airspace (typically from 1,200 ft AGL to 10,000 ft MSL) too, so long as they don't get too close to a controlled airport or overfly congested/populated areas. And class E usually does require a license for most other craft. So that's a little more expansive than just uncontrolled class G.
Another fun fact: Above 60,000 ft MSL is *also* uncontrolled class G, which is why space capsules don't have to check in with air traffic control on each orbit.

@lowqualityfacts I would pay every penny I had to give Trump a democratic primary win just so I could see every democrat AND republican absolutely loose their shit and not know what to do with themselves....

I hope the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" crowd understands that if Trump suddenly announced he's running as a Democrat they would be forced to vote for him. They would have no choice. They are honor bound by the code.

The #FAA requires a 70% to pass #pilot licensing tests.
This appears to be, in large part, because the tests are absolute garbage. They are ambiguously-worded, they have questions about ratings you're not even trying to get, and the charts they provide have larger margins of error than the gap between answers.
If this test weren't so incompetently assembled, they could require 90% to pass and have more qualified pilots as a result.

To pass the test to get a pilot's license, you need to know the scientific names of each of the 23 different types of fog, and be able to write a dissertation on how and where and why each one forms.
When flying a plane under a VFR license, all you really need to know is that you should avoid fog.
I am so tired of UberEats and other deliver services charging me both tip and fee before delivery... screwing up my delivery, then refusing to refund me because it happens too often and they assume im just lying...
From now on i will just move to cash only deliver on UE and inspect the food, if anything is wrong i will refuse delivery.
Kinda defeats the purpose of using a no-contact service though.
The real medical conspiracy is the fact that they make at-home blood pressure cuffs so damn hard to get on yourself that by the time you take your blood pressure it has doubled out of frustration...

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
