Trivia Thread!

What are you aiming for? Corporate pilot or regular [passenger/freight common carrier] airline pilot?

I'm not really sure yet, at this point I know I don't want to be in a big airline company (flying Boeings and that sort of thing). So probably smaller cargo/freight transport I'd say. But there is also the option of flying for a game reserve somewhere, flying guests to lodges etc. But I'm only in the first week of groundschool, so I don't really know.

Your brain doesn't experience reality in real time. Everything you perceive happened about 80 milliseconds ago. Your brain just stitches together predictions and sensory data to create the illusion of a continuous present. You're essentially living in a constantly-updating memory of the very recent past.
 
That delay is what causes (in some folks including moi) motion sickness.
The inner ear is reacting in real time, but the brain is providing stitched info that lags the inner ear response.
That out of sync sensation is what causes the nausea. 🤢
 
And when your brain isn't doing that properly... funny things happen.
Once when I was extremely sleep-deprived, my sense of touch and my sight were obviously out of sync: I could feel things with my fingers before my eyes saw me touch them. That was the moment I decided it was time to go to bed. 🙃
 
Opposite thing happened to me after not sleeping for a day and a half because of a long flight, I could see myself touching stuff but not feel it. It was so weird.
 
Artemis II will test optical (laser) communications, marking a first for human deep-space flight. Laser systems can transmit data at much higher speeds than traditional radio waves, which is crucial for future missions involving larger crews, high-definition video, and complex scientific data—especially for Mars exploration.

Bette Davis and Joan Crawford’s feud was epic….
Davis and Crawford were filming "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?" together when Davis decided to install a Coke machine in her dressing room, per Harper's Bazaar. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but it just so happened that Crawford sat on Pepsi's board of directors, and Davis installed the Coke machine simply to taunt her.

When Joan died,
“You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good. Joan Crawford is dead. Good.”
- Bette Davis
