Where is the global shipping traffic?
I haven’t seen any real convincing shipping traffic either, honestly. I flew over places like Singapore and Rotterdam hoping for busy ports but it was just empty water or weird clusters of identical ships like you said. Felt really off, especially when you know there should be tons of container ships and tankers there. I pretty much turned off shipping traffic as well since it kept breaking the immersion for me.

Which of these payware airports are worth spending money on?
Out of the list, I can vouch for MK-STUDIOS Lisbon and Malaga, both have some nice attention to detail, good performance, and really add something extra to European hops, especially if you’re used to flying the B38M like me. I’ve also tried Pilot Experience Sim’s Bordeaux and Brest, and they’re honestly very good for the price. Haven’t had any major issues apart from some nitpicky things like runway marking alignment, but nothing too distracting during normal operations.

What games are you playing 2025?
Lately I’ve been bouncing between a bunch of games, mostly on PC since I have a pretty decent setup. Civ VII has been sucking up a lot of my time—I always tell myself “just one more turn” and then that turns into hours missing.

Also if you’re into skins or trading at all, you might want to see details about which AWP skins are hot right now in CS2 and how trading’s evolved. Always cool to stay in the loop on what the community’s after these days.

So yeah, this happened......
This new one feels like it’s trying too hard.

Would you name your child Chernobyl?
Only if he has 3 arms.

Shocked by American accents.
Man, I swear I can’t get over that British guy saying “It’s a Range Rover” it just lives rent free in my head.

Be careful with UPS and FS orders
Had a similar thing happen with a joystick I ordered from the EU, thought I was getting a decent deal until they slapped me with nearly half the price in duties and "brokerage fees." No warning, no way to back out without losing everything.

Will AI wipe us out.
That’s why I’m saying “please” and “thank you”, not just manners, but a bit of future-proofing, just in case

Elephant with the munchies goes to convenience store
Honestly, I’d probably do the same if I weighed 4 tons and had zero impulse control

Food delivery by drone.
I saw one drop a burrito in someone’s backyard like it was an Amazon airstrike. Still waiting for mine to bring snacks straight to my couch, though. One day…

NTSB safety warning about Boeing 737Max & Airbus A320neo.
Honestly, I’d still fly on them too. These types of warnings are pretty common.

Assembling Counter Strike Veterans
I started playing CS in the late 2000s, mostly Source then a little of GO, and now I’m back at it with CS2. My aim and reactions definitely aren’t what they used to be, but honestly, understanding map flow and pre-aiming corners help balance things out. It’s funny how muscle memory sticks around even if speed drops off a bit. I still get outgunned by younger players sometimes, but outsmarting them is more satisfying anyway.

Cybertruck not legal in UK.
It's too wide and big for these streets.

Would you...
Ofc, always wanted to do that.

Today I take an exciting trip!
The Baltics sound fascinating, especially given their rich history and how much they’ve evolved since the early '90s. I bet the mix of architecture, culture, and nature out there is stunning. Whenever I travel, it takes me a while to readjust once I’m back too—jetlag is no joke!

Today I take an exciting trip!
I’ve never been to Lithuania, Latvia, or Estonia, but I love hearing about trips like yours, Stan.
