How do you even go about getting out of that? How does it get enough speed to fly horizontally again?

I imagine they make the propeller go faster and then level it out in the air?

I used to be TheRealLuquado

Apply full power, gain enough altitude that you could let it start falling, it would turn towards the weighted end (Front, engine is there), and start gaining forward momentum, then pull up into level flight.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

Slow tip forward to gain horizontal speed, while maintaining vertical lift, until your flying traditionally, with air flow over/under the wings are producing your lift, instead of your propellers.

I call shenanigans on this because the E.T. VHS had macro encryption so it was almost impossible to record to or dub the tape. It even had a green colored back flap on the VHS itself to visually distinguish itself from other non-copy protected VHS tapes.

Record from, yes, but Macrovision encodes noise into the vertical blanking video. Wouldn't writing to a macrovision-protected tape just record right over that along with the actual data?

Not to mention that if this somehow doesn't work (and I don't see why it wouldn't), you could just disassemble the cassette and replace the magnetic tape.

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

That's a direct reference to the princess bride though

Do you not know what the definition of phonetically is?

I though mawage was a type of mage or some other goofy DnD term until I realized you had to read it phonetically as it's pronounced.

I mean obviously ruddiger got that it was a Princes Bride quote, and he was obviously just saying that he had to read through it and think about how it would be pronounced to get the joke. Obviously. But then again he's also basically an angrier and more aggressive version of Mr Bibs so I say proceed with the dog piling.
