Our team sailed our project into rough waters. For some reason one team member absolutely could not understand why we needed to steer the bow of our ship into the waves. Despite every educational effort she kept insisting that we needed to take the waves broadside.

Then, one day she tried to grab hold of the helm. So, I wrapped my arms around her as tight as I could, told her we’d die together, and jumped off the fucking boat.

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

Tell us you lack the courage of your convictions without telling us…

AR-15 $800-1500

Cheaper, more portable, and the prerequisite to the guillotine.

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)

In the before times we had libraries of books that’d teach a person anything they wanted to learn. If a person had a question and the book didn’t answer there was someone there who didn’t know the answer but damn well knew how to find it. We never had to sort through piles of garbage content produced to waste our time for profit.

Even the early Internet was this way. Its slow degradation became a nose dive with broad adoption of Facebook and AI. I had to starting writing a line of code to search. And, that doesn’t even work anymore.

Violence wasn’t necessary, it was the only means available

Right. The alternative to murder is to be murdered indirectly.

Yes. But, it’s not difficult or expensive.

The last thing it seemed like many perceived they had in common was Tiger King.

Now it’s support for murder as a necessary means of change.

This is progress.

Yippee Kai Yay, motherfucker.

Buy a used tank & mix machine as found in most restaurants. Register a business with your state. Sign the exclusivity deal with Coke or Pepsi. Buy the syrup. If you’re using this every day it’ll be cheaper than sodastream in a relatively short period of time.

Insurance brokers tend to be competent educators.

Wills are easy to create using online templates. Make at least two physical copies, one digital, and get them notarized. Store them in different places. And, make sure several people know where they’re stored even if they don’t have access to that place.

Wills can be very simple, such as “all to wife”. Mine is barely more complicated than that, just providing a series of two alternatives for if my wife is also deceased.

Sounds like you were a salesman either more than fifteen years ago or you didn’t have access to sell predatory products. This too has been slowly enshitifed since the partial repeal of Glass-Steagall and the Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act.

NYC-DSA, 20% of gross capital gains

If you’ve an IRA and are not actively managing it then thank you for your contribution.

They don’t know what they want but they know how to Brexit.

You’d be most welcome at my house.

This would destroy the basis of segregation of ownership from operational control from liability. Corporations would be effectively illegal. Our incarnation of capitalism would fail. Lots of people would further sacrifice and suffer for such a glorious victory for We the People.
