I've flown a full motion 727 sim a few times and did fairly well (this

never crashed it.

That's just a video game. If you haven't flown the real thing, you
don't know anything about it.

Older than the person making the assertion.

FWIW, I was standing in the corner being punished when Kennedy was shot.

I always wondered who really did it. Seems like a lenient punishment.

Do you think that's because of the control force feedback, the motion, or
both?

Not sure that it's the motion...I think feedback is probably what helps.
I thought it might have something to do with me only using a keyboard
to play MSFS, but the FTD at the FBO had actual controls, so who knows.
It might also be a mindset....you know, in a large airline training
sim it's a lot easier to think that you're flying a real airplane.

Of course, I was practicing approaches, so I was ignoring the motion anyway.

With a bit of offshoring, you could be in the same position in a year

I'm already rolling in cash. I'm a registered nurse, remember? We're in very
high demand where I live. But if I ever decide to give up nursing, I'll
remember and treasure your career advice.

Rub it in. I've been thinking ever since I graduated that I should have
gotten a nursing degree. Hmm...maybe it's not too late.

That is a losing bet. You're assuming a personality interested in
learning. There's no evidence of that.

Rather, we see evidence of opinions formed with bad information and then
retained despite any contrary evidence. We see valuation of an opinion
formed from nothing but games as equivalent (or superior) to opinions
formed from actual experience.

That describes virtually everyone the 'net, especially when it comes to
say, political arguments. Neither side often gives in and admits a
mistaken belief.

I think everyone's just frustrated, because they really want him to
understand.

I think the wish is more along the lines of him going away. With his
attitude he will never understand.

Unless it is in hard physical assets of lasting value, don't depend on
it.

For now. But if you are offshored, that may change.

It would depend... How would you look in this?

He. If nurses are only half as perverted as people in aviation, I'd be
in good shape.
