The species is a very old design relative other species. It’s had much more time to rise through the ranks.

An authoritarian, controlled economy will fail. We don’t need any more examples to understand why.

You misunderstood.

Network latency is like seek time on a HDD.

If you mount the camera below the rim of your helmet then you’re going to have a really bad time.

Mount a wedge to the helmet and the camera base plate to the wedge. I’d use wood for simplicity of fabrication. Throw some paint on it.

If you don’t have access to a wood shop then literally take your helmet into a big box hardware store and look around for something that’ll work as is, or to a small hardware store paying a little more for assistance in figuring out a solution.

Expired VFR from above:

Think about “aviate, navigate, communicate” and add to your pilot procedure. For example, the first priority is that the pilot in command establish straight and level flight.

Also, relate that descent to things people know, such as the typical max climb and descent angles passengers experience and the maximum grade found on US interstates.

Your work is pretty good. I encourage you to pick up the textbooks used in flight school. There’s lots of ways to be a pilot without actually obtaining a VFR license, such as a recreational license or MS Flight Simulator. You can even get a taste with a type of skydive called an “assisted free fall”.

Halfway decent comment so adding more:

The emergency descent altitude is almost always 10,000 feet. This is because most people will be able to breath without the oxygen mask at this altitude. But, do not take off your mask.

They do not descend lower because, succinctly, what if all engine power is lost? If that happens then the pilots want enough altitude to have enough time to try and restart the engines and, failing engine restart, to extend gliding range in effort to maximize choices of where to land.

Qualifications: expired VFR license (not a commercial pilot)

Do.

I’m not going to waste minutes of my life to write that which you could look up in seconds.

Good luck, “anarchist”. Sounds like you’ll need it.

Huey P. Newton’s book Revolutionary Suicide.

Sure as shit sounds like you agree with him. Read the book.

I recommend Revolutionary Suicide.

It’s basically the rules of a knife fight: The primary goal is to control the weapon, in this case the talons. Both of you are definitely going to get fucked up if you try.

The bird’s on the boardwalk for food. The most aggressive thing it’s likely to do is to steal your food.

I’m walking down the street when I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight. And then he swept up from behind. He put a gun up to my head. He made it clear he wasn’t looking for a fight.

He said, “Give me all you’ve got. I want your money not your life. But if you try to make a move, I won’t think twice.”

I told him, “You can have my cash. But first you know I got to ask, ‘What made you want to live this kind of life?’”

He said, “There ain’t no rest for the wicked. Money don’t grow on trees. I got bills to pay. I got mouths to feed. There ain’t nothing in this world for free. I know I can’t slow down. I can’t hold back though you know, I wish I could. Oh no there ain’t no rest for the wicked until we close our eyes for good.”

There’s no hope for a life of dignity. I strongly encourage you to commit Revolutionary Suicide. That’s the title of a book. Read it. If you can’t afford it then message me and I’ll buy it for you.

How soon we forget:

Fuck Donald Trump. And, fuck Biden, too. Neither of them give a fuck about you.

But don’t fall into the “green party” loophole of just sabotaging neo-liberal democrats and helping literal facists get elected.

Let me translate that for you:

I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action

If you’re offended, white moderate, then take it up with MLK Jr.

how a simple drug could collapse a long standing regime

You’ve misunderstood something. The Assad regime in Syria produced the majority of the world’s black market supply of an almost universally illegal stimulant. The regime fell because proliteriat revolutionaries leveraged sustained physical violence.

NICU

N = neonatal (newborn subset of pediatrics)

ICU = intensive care unit

pediatrics = branch of medicine having to do children and infants

Why?
