    Well, simply put, the new year is off to a rather unhappy start.
    As some of you (or all of you) might know, the great Flight1sim, commonly known as Flighty, has just left the forum. It started off with this message in a PM after he removed his avatar:

    After that, his entire profile went barebones, and now it looks like the profile of a giveaway account that spammed up LTT.
    His sudden and unprecedented departure, put simply, has shocked me. Just a few hours before he was all jolly because I sent him an archive of OpenBVE stuff, and now he suddenly flipped like a light switch and left.
    REMEMBERING FLIGHT1SIM
    He was a great member. We talked A LOT to each other about cars and trains (WRX STi 4 lyfe) and we had a great time together in the LTT RP club. Overall, he was a great member who contributed a lot to the forum with humor.

    My own little shenanigans
    I've started to pique an interest in OpenBVE development, which might make me slightly less active on LTT by 15-30 minutes or so, but nothing to worry there. You might find me more active on the BVEStation forums a little more too (my username there is B3 via Av U). That's that.

    So as many of you know, tomorrow is my SHSAT exam. This exam is used to determine if I get into one of 8 specialized high schools in the city (though I'm only applying to 2 of them).
    I have studied over a year for this, and this test has brought to me joy, sorrow, pain, anger, angry parental rants, and LOTS AND LOTS of stress. Someday it will be all worth it. If I pass, good for me. If I fail, it will be quite possibly the end of the world as I know it.
    I feel prepared enough to walk into this exam tomorrow. I'm going to be out the door at around 6:15 AM to get to my testing site, I'll be back by 2-3PM and then I'm officially back to the forum. Exam results should be availble in early March, and I'll then discover if I got into one of those two schools.
    Cheers!
    EDIT: Sorry dark theme users that this looks horrible.

    So my dad said that he was getting a new laptop for me, and he also commented that he really liked my iPad.
    Considering that the iPad was a gift and I hate iOS in every imaginable sense, I am considering giving my iPad to my dad when I get the new laptop. All I ever do on it is watch YouTube and browse the LinusTechTips forum, all of which can be easily run on my new laptop. He did mention an i5 processor in said laptop, which is a huge-ass upgrade over my Celeron M. He did not mention what particular laptop, however.
    So do you think it's worth it to give an iPad Air to him when I get a laptop? Please vote in the poll and discuss in the comments.
    P.S. My dad is a techie, if that influences your decision in any way.
