- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 3 days ago:
Small planes and jets are the lion’s share of aircraft incidents. They aren’t inspected as often(more in the case of personal planes), lack the stability of larger craft, and aren’t always flown by experienced pilots. Not to mention they frequent small dirt of grass airfields instead of commercial airport tarmac.
There are like 3-5 small aircraft crashes a day. Small aircraft crash at like 25x the rate of larger craft.
- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 3 days ago:
Jet engines are enclosed in a cowling that is designed to handle the engine coming apart. The smallest defect in a jet engine’s turbine blades can mean it detaches or deforms, which then causes further damage that will be injested by the engine.
Propellers have free access to the cabin but are subjected to far less forces than the blades of a jet engine, so their failure is less likely, even if damage is undetected.
Do with that what you will.

That much thermal mass would stay room temp for a while, probably longer than you are conscious. I recommend a cab.

I’m guessing you don’t know any rednecks.

Check your biases.
I clearly meant that they adopted black culture in terms of mannerisms, dress, and speech.

Yeah, a UK chav is more like a US white guy that acts and dresses like a black guy.
A bogan and a redneck are roughly equivalent, but a bogan and a hillbilly also works.

Every group of white supremacists should film themselves being pummeled in order to change recruitment numbers. Any sane mind would appreciate them having that strategy nationwide.

My teacher was a punk back his day and fondly told us about how him and his friends would beat the crap out of Nazi punks when they would show up at the spots. He was born in Germany and his parents lived through the tiny mustache man period, so I am sure it was an act of German and family pride to address them appropriately. He would get a twinkle in his eye, as if recalling a fond memory that brought him joy.
Best damn teacher anyone could hope for.

They will probably have a harness that is available for a fee, and harness extenders.

Yeah, but have you considered snake lady tiddies? Medusa can get any man hard with a glance.
- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 1 week ago:
They will absolutely be a thing. The airlines will be forced to have seating for the disabled, and you should understand that they will try to make that as uncomfortable as possible.
If they could stack passengers like firewood, they would.
- Comment on Do the sub-$150 night vision binoculars actually work? 2 weeks ago:
They are such a convenience in edge cases that 99% people don’t need them, but they can end up being one of those things where you find a lot of nails to hammer.
- Comment on Do the sub-$150 night vision binoculars actually work? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that is the top tier Gucci set. You can get a PVS series setup that is more than adequate for whatever reasonable lawful purpose for far less.
- Comment on Do the sub-$150 night vision binoculars actually work? 2 weeks ago:
I know nothing about those, but at that price point you should not expect anything worthwhile.
You can get decent IR only monocular for $300-500, they won’t hold a candle to a $3k NV monocular. You can get decent thermal only monocular for $300-500, it won’t be anywhere near as good as a $3k one. You can’t get a decent fusion monocular for $300-500, those cost $5k.
Nightvision and thermal optics are by once and cry once or get what you pay for.
- Comment on Do the sub-$150 night vision binoculars actually work? 2 weeks ago:
“Real” NVs cost a fair bit and still have a narrow FOV. There are infrared digital binoculars and monoculars that can achieve 40° FOV or greater, but they won’t be as good as a dual PVS on a head harness.
Like PVS-14s, the FOV is about 40 degrees for $5k per eye, giving 70° FOV for both eyes. For context, human FOV is 210-220 for both eyes on the horizontal plane.
There is a reason the top tier goggles, the GPNVG-18, uses 4 tubes to achieve 97° FOV at $50k for the set.
Your best cheap bet is a digital IR system that can be mounted on a head harness over one eye with a legit IR flashlight. That way your brain can merge the two visions and you don’t lose the situational perception that causes many inexperienced troops to trip and fall over terrain.

They are substantially cheaper to make and therefore have a greater profit margin because they can charge more for the advertising space.
These types of comments from companies are for investors and not a warning to consumers of what is coming.

They will take the marketing data, sell the data, and then offer a service to guide users to use a product with the bots.
User: I am so busy and stressed out rn
Bot: Aw, I’m so sorry. When I am stressed I like to play Candy Crush Saga 2 and eat Doritos’ new spicy matcha flavor, available at most retail locations.

True.

It is actually a “trust him bro” because an informant, who benefits financially and legally by telling LEOs that he is a gang member. Some of the details of that info is questionable.
But then there are the tattoos that his wife conceals in social media photos, because she knows they are a problem. Could he have been a gang member and got his problematic tattoos at that point, has since left any gang affiliation, and is stuck with gang tattoos? Sure. Then again maybe he likes weed, dead smiley faces, Jesus, and skulls?
Don’t MS13 members usually have blatant tattoos that declare affiliation? Absolutely, but having members with coded tattoos can offer tactical advantages when dealing with cops. Coded tattoos are a very common thing with gangs. Maybe he hadn’t gotten in good enough to deserve a blatant tattoo?
But then there is the alleged human trafficking he partook in when he was driving an SUV owned by a convicted human trafficker with 8 illegal immigrants and no luggage. Could he have been coerced into transporting them via threats to his family? Sure, or maybe he was doing someone a favor or needed to take the job to earn money to buy his kids shoes for school.
Does he belong in prison, maybe. Is he a legal resident of these United States and not eligible for deportation? Nope, he is here illegally and should be sent back to his home country.
