I work in ATC and we have several desks with around 12 to 18 screens. Not in that layout tho, but on a much larger banana form.
They are used at different support positions so not ATC radars. Mostly for monitoring but also used with keyboard and mouse.
The applications goes from technical surveillance of ops systems, to flow capacity (airspace capacity), meteo broadcast for all airports (ATIS) or ground-ground telecommunications of aeronautical data.
Switzerland, meh.
I have a better job with low hours for more money but still have to be cautious about costs. They have several houses with a garden that I can only dream about.
They have a retirement plan that I can only dream about and an happy life while I’m ok-ish but depressive.
But I have 10Gbs fiber optic internet and a NAS+Seedbox so there’s that.
So, same as last time that led to the Rafale? (aka France saying merde I’ll do my own plane myself)
I went to the store with an objective, resist my urge for chocolate.
I did not realize we are after valentine day, it was packed with heart shaped chocolate at -50% next to huge chocolate bunnies cause it is somewhat already Easter?
Oh well, maybe I’ll resist better next time 🤷🏻♂️
MOO, My Only One.
It’s just because when saying it sounds like a cow mooing
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. I loved everything in that tactical spaceship battle game and I play it at least once a year (modded to work on 2026 hardware).
It’s so sad they never made the second one and the other games that somewhat look alike are, meh…
Then it was KSP, Cyberpunk 2077 and recently Clair Obscur.
Yes, and posts or crossposts are poteaux and croix poteaux.
Oh so it’s the same rule as in Rance.
English is forbidden and must be translated to French in the most idiotic way possible.
My favourite is probably: What the fuck = C’est quoi la baise.
A French horror youtuber (Feldup) talked about it, saying the same thing as you (do not search for it, do not watch it).
But from his description what I understood is:
The passenger was the wife, the driver the dad and behind them were the kids that you can hear crying and dad telling them not to watch.
Anyway, don’t watch it. I stopped scrolling on /b the day I saw a woman getting killed. Looking for this kind of stuff is bad and makes people feel nothing when confronted with human misery and horror, that’s not a skill you want in life.
Yeah ok… Clean them like any normal logical human being, aka by using common sense and stuff you already have at home. Or buy those non necessary cleaning kits!
Thanks wired.
Aviation nerd fact #69
Planes don’t approach at idle power (not until the very last moment)
Unless you approach with a very steep angle, the kind that end with a crater on the runway. But it is frightening and rule 1 of piloting an aircraft is “when thingy gets scary, just close your eyes”
