One would perhaps ask, why would you practice Cuban 8s before doing the Split S or Immelmann? Well, the key is speed and energy management. In a Cuban 8 you do your half roll while descending, i.e. you pull through 5/8 of a loop first. This means you'll most likely have built up some airspeed before you do the roll.

I thought they were cocktails.

I'd certainly not recommend having cocktails before flying those maneuvers, not even if you're the passenger.

If I'm ever asked to take the groom-to-be for an aerobatic flight for his bachelor party, I'll make it very clear he is not to drink alcohol until after the flight. I have better things to do than cleaning the inside of the aircraft.

 

[Brigantium]

And insist he buys you drinks afterwards too, of course.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

That's a given.

A hit to the head with a blunt object?

I didn’t plan for a pun but it turned out so well.

Now I know everything's fine, and will be, no matter what.
Thank you Cried.

There, fixed it for you.

I feel like there’s a “pot calling the kettle black” joke in here somewhere, but I’m too lazy to find it.

Have you ever noticed stuff they say about Zodiac signs to be true? I mean people who have the have the same Zodiac signs have similar characteristics etc...can there be any truth to that?

Yeah, it's funny - I am prone to disbelieve and disregard and mock the idea of astrology altogether (because, yeah, duh), but although all the arguments regarding the futility of trying to read the stars in order to know the future still stand, as far as the character types are concerned, it does fit a lot, from my experience. For example, I am an Aquarius, with the Ascendent being Scorpio and the Descendent being Taurus. It all really fits.
My wife is a Capricorn and a very typical one at that. My mother is Aries and a typical one at that. Father is Gemini and a typical one at that. About a dozen people I know fit their signs a lot, hauntigly, even.

I can't really agree with the idea, but it's really weird.

I wonder how much of it is down to us wanting to see those traits in people, and how much of it is real.

By the way, I deleted my post here because I decided to post it in the Mysteries and Supernatural thread instead, but the discussion can continue here, doesn't matter.

Well, thankfully I have the sometimes forbidden habit of quoting even the post right above, otherwise it would be a tad ... confusing maybe?

We could really have some fun and confuse people by deleting posts.

So I just wrote a 7-page paper to be presented at a conference.

Sadly, there is no conference to present it at.

 

[Brigantium]

Is there a virtual one?

 

[Perun]

Not as of now anyway.

 

[Magnus]

You guys do know what "Perun" is?

Mod of Thunder, duh.

I just needed to sneeze but I couldn't so I coughed instead.
