Flight plans are usually filed hours before a flight with old wind data and sometimes can't be changed in congested airspace.
But pilots really care about wind shear. Its the thing that makes people suddenly hit the overhead compartment. It typically requires flight crews reporting it to ATC over radio. Improving accuracy of local wind events is very valuable.
The way commercial real estate lending is tied to lease rates usually means its almost impossible for them to go down unless you operate at these scales.
Most commercial landlords around me would rather have prime main street spots stay empty than refinance because of lower lease rates.
Same one about the combo here. Almost every person I ask has some variation on that one. Crazy how universal it is in my world, especially since it's usually about something that would have happened 20 or 30 years ago, but never really happened.
Seeing a lot of similar stories here. We used to do a game of hide and seek on our massive dead end street. Wed use peoples bushes and cars to hide. I still remember the sound of crotchety old mr peabody chambering a round in his shotgun behind us one night. Pitch black. Never saw his face, just heard him let us know we were about to die if we didn't leave. Pretty sure he knew it was 2 little kids
I have a 2018 Chevy, and cancelled onstar immediately, which was intentionally an exercise in annoyance and confusion. But I still got metrics emailed to me.
I found a way to detach the wireless dongler tucked up behind my glove box. The only side effect was my little digi-compass not telling me which direction I was pointing anymore.
So far they've had to pull out of a few airports when FBOs stop hosting them, mostly without explanation. The same FBOs that allow part 135 operators, some owned by the majors, to run. Seems related.
