Flying boats are fixed-wing aircraft with hulls like boats, allowing them to land on water instsead of runways. Lakes, seas, reflecting pools, you name it.
In the early history of flight this kind of thing was popular because there were a lot of places without runways and airstrips, and a lot of those that did exist were too small to accomodate larger, long-distance airplanes. There were other advantages too - because their size wasn't limited by the length of runways, they could be built to an impressive size, and had longer range than land-based airplanes. I imagine it was also comforting to be able to land safely on the water in case of mechanical problems.
I think my favorite flying boat is the Dornier Do X (pictured in the thumbnail) which was made in the 1920's. In addition to seats for about a hundred passengers, its three decks contained an onboard kitchen, a dining room, multiple bathrooms, and a bar. Each nacelle on the top has two engines, for a total of twelve. There's just something magnificent about it.
In the 21st century flying boats are quite rare, although there are a few models used for fighting wildfires. The CL-415 Super Scooper for example, can skim the surface of a lake or reservoir for a few seconds and take in more than six thousand liters of water without stopping!

What if I gave up on everything, got a minimum wage job and moved out with my gf?
Literally what I'm doing with no gf. Well I gave up a while ago.
I don't know if anyone has watched Severance (2022 show) but I'm about half way through the first season and everything is really heating up. Its a sci-fi thriller about people who get their personalities split and have a work "innie" and their "outie" which gets switched between when they leave work. There's a shady giant biotech corp too. Its very detail rich I've been reading threads on every episode to decipher what things mean and catch details I forgot about. Anyway its really good and I like it so far and I'm excited to watch the rest of season 1.
Yess, I love that show. My girlfriend and I binged it last year. It's impressive how well they maintain the tension throughout both seasons. Hopefully you can avoid any spoilers!
I just finished episode 6 (hide and seek) and its been very impressive to me how it both keeps me engaged and is continually building tension. I plan to!
I am so tired today I can't even make good posts :catgirl-flop:
Bad and mediocre posts are appreciated too
So the other day I was kidnapped by the evil force-femme lesbianism cult* (EFF-LC).
They unwrapped my boymoding clothes and saw that I'm already transing, and already very very gay.
So they told me to either apply to the cult or be executed, cause the cult has to be kept a secret.
Of course, everybody knows that I would never join a cult or condone cult behavior.
Which is why I must clarify that despite the name the EFF-LC is not a cult and only force-femmes eggs

Them: it's the third time this week, what is happening!
Girls, is this piece of daydreaming fiction problematic? Why do I have a vague feeling it is?
Being in my body is so comfortable these days. I get to wake up and be like "woah I'm girl shaped!"
ranting a bit
think I'm gonna stop dating women, feels like I have to take initiative all the time or nothing ever happens. Like there are negatives about dating guys as well, but at least they're good at making me feel desired.
Really glad I've been able to grow my hair out. Even looking at pictures from like 3 months ago shit looks decroded
Every day my misogynist block list grows longer. Just a few hundred to go until hexbear becomes usable.
"Leftist" men skillfully avoid learning anything from the women around them. It's actually impressive how little they internalise.
I like the trans mega and the news mega, but that's mostly it for hexbear these days. I've found good queer servers on discord for socialising and a carefully curated few subreddit for hobby stuff.
I just saw that shit. First thing I see on the site after not being on it for a while. I think I'm just gonna stay in the mega tbh
yeah fragile masculinity is real and doesn't suddenly go away in leftist spaces
Women need to accept that men want to split the first date if they want a relationship to work out!
"Men" and "relationship" only belong in the same sentence when it's yaoi.
big fluffy tail! (โ ย โ โนโ โฝโ โนโ ย โ )
::: spoiler alienation I guess?
You know how some people say "oh I feel like I belong!" when they are in a group, or how they show such feelings of belonging clearly in their actions? I'm trying to think, and I dont know if Im capable of feeling belonging. I can do 1-on-1, that makes sense and I can feel connection with a person. But in a group, belonging in a group, its not common experience for me. I dont know the last time I felt it.
There's always an awareness of my performativity. There's always a self censoring of my genuine thoughts and feelings, there's always the knowledge that my continued association with the group is dependent upon my falling within their acceptable parameters. Should I fail in that, should the degree of my existence that lies outside their acceptable parameters reach a critical threshold, I will be disposed of and no longer associated with.
Its really hard to feel safe enough to express my genuine thoughts and feelings. I just want to find people who I belong with, cause as it currently stands I feel deeply isolated from anyone and everyone when it comes to groups.
Anyway, I was in a large group of lesbians, trans and cis, last night. And I didn't feel like I didn't belong, but I did not feel any sense of belonging. A sea of faces that should have made me feel joy to look at, and instead I just feel fear and apprehension and uncertainty and distrust. I dont know what to do or how to perform, and its incredibly difficult for me. There's a reason I like people telling me what to do, it makes things clear, it makes things understandable.
I would really like to feel like I belong one day, for more than just a few weeks or a handful of months. It would be nice if it was along the lines of transness, but really just anything would be nice. Just a space where I dont have to perform and can be truly open and honest.

This is how I think I'd feel with being in trans spaces. Its how I felt when I was around the only trans person who used to be in my social circles, making it more stressful being around them than cis people who just don't care. Trying to manage that while in a group setting would be so much worse.

GOOD post, and such a mood.

This shit is so real.
Just a space where I dont have to perform and can be truly open and honest.
Maybe it's a situation where if you just be open and honest, what remains afterwards is what you were seeking all along. It's the only real test. But it's scary.
::: spoiler spoiler
It is scary. And it is kinda the only way to do it but just, idk. I know im overly fearful of social correction and being discarded. Its hard to power through the automatic and learned behaviors. They keep me safe, but prevent me from being with others.
spoiler
I mean yeah, I often don't practice what I preach, and do a lot of self-censorship, even on this site. The idea of losing what you already have is terrifying. It'd be a lot easier if we were "normie" enough that our authentic selves could fit into most places. But this isn't our luxury.
If I had a way to overcome this fear, I'd have overcome it myself already
I read Nevada and had a lot of fun with it
Been meaning to read that one, anything we should know beforehand?
Been thinking about not going further with the private university thingy. It's too expensive idk, and there's the pressure of finishing it soon because it costs money you know, the biggest reason to go to a public university is that it's free and then I don't have any pressure or anything and there are more opportunities and stuff. The only thing is, I'll have to jump through some more hoops to get in and it will take more time
Can confirm the pressure of private uni can be brutal. If possible you should aim for public college.
Well my options are:
1-Private uni now (Pharmaceutical Sciences) (4 year bachelor's)
2-Public Uni next year on like Chemistry or something and then transfer to pharmaceutical sciences (5 Year bachelor's + like half a year added from starting in a different course).
3-Start with 1 this year, and do 2 next year, transfer everything I did between other things and get a little bit of a head start maybe on the plan for doing 2, but also a lot of paperwork and processes
Ah, what a pain. Going to public seems to cost a lot of time. But do you have to start with chemistry? They don't have an option for getting you straight into pharma?
Of course my situation is different from yours, but if I were in your position with my hindsight, I'd go for option 3 and try to speedrun the degree by over-loading courses. Though I'm not sure how feasible that is in the US.
I'm using my other degree to get into the uni without having to do a test, it's just they don't have enough remaining spots at the time for pharma, well, It's not guaranteed that they'll have any for next year, but it could happen. There are a few other possibilities to try to get into the public uni.
I'm not in the US, thankfully, but trying to speedrun just seems like too much effort for too little result to be quite honest
Ah I see.
trying to speedrun just seems like too much effort for too little result to be quite honest
Depends from person to person. If you think it won't be worth it then yeah that's fine.
the question of "would you give John Brown a nuke?" is flawed since you should actually be asking "How many nukes would you give John Brown?"
GF dabbing on the haters is real fucking cute 
I'm not biased or anything so trust me on this chat
Want to vent but don't have the energy to write right now.
very quick summary
Am sad and lonely and feel unfit for this society.
Same.... 
its hard.
