Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. I have a favorite story from that game. When I was in the 6th grade, the school library had a book on the Me-163 Komet rocket powered interceptor. My best friend and I loved it. When I got SWOTL, I got my chance to fly it. Even with just 8 minutes of fuel, you could do a lot. I was able to do several passes on the B-17 enemy aircraft, then glide back to base when out of fuel. One time I flew back to base and just sat at the end of the runway and watched. My wingman came in too high, bounced off the end of the runway and blew up. RIP, Hans. Sometimes it's the littlest things that make the biggest memories. Hook

Thank you for finally fixing this. Hook

Welcome to Avsim, @Arirnnam! I like your avatar. Should fit in nicely here. Hook

I enjoy his channel for its entertainment value. Hook

I really, really, really hope this is fake. Hook

Richard, my man, you should know that clients are lousy at describing what they want, and AI is ruthless in following their directions. Our jobs are safe. AI might be able to generate code, but it will still need a human to review it. Code generation is, after all, both a science and an art. The AI might be able to provide the "science" part. I'm certain that the "art" will forever be beyond its capabilities. "AI accidentally made me believe in the concept of a human soul by showing me what art looks like without it." Hook

Thanks, Tom. Sometimes, staring the abyss in the face can put a lot of things into perspective. Carolyn was a bit concerned. I was trying not to worry, almost successfully. Finally took a nap and woke up when she got home. Prayers, positivity, and even well-wishes all help and are appreciated. Carolyn got a laugh out of the Boston Scientific pacemaker tech when she told him about her cat pushing the button to send a report just to watch the lights flash on the machine. Twice in a row. The pacemakers have an external box that will interrogate the device via some kind of radio link and send a report via the cell phone system. Can happen automatically or on demand. Older versions used a land line or Internet wifi. I was hoping to get the doctor's reaction to her NDE, but she never got to talk to him. Turns out he had 7 procedures to do today. Carolyn's been worried for months about the battery running out. The device will sound an alarm when the battery gets low, and you still have about 6 months when that happens. When mine alerted, I could hear the sound but couldn't tell where it was coming from, although I knew exactly what it was. The device is typically implanted in the left chest. Medtronics is good for 8 years, Boston Scientific is good for 10. Hers never alerted, but the last time it was interrogated in the office they decided to replace it. They don't replace the battery, but the entire device. I understand the old ones are used in dogs and horses. So in the end, all is good, and I can tell she's in better shape. Thanks again to everyone. Hook
