Vice, no question, was being awful and kept pushing her hard limit of "stop asking about my loving spouse/partner, and stop corroborating the narrative that I'm not my own inventor."

Wu was also awful because she publicly sicced her Twitter fans on Vice editorial staff in efforts to doxx them.

That's what got her hosed over on Patreon and YouTube. They take a very dim view of that.

It's kind of hosed up that you can't even follow her on Twitter because of the creepy fuckers that constantly comment super-creepy poo poo on literally everything she posts.

While this video is an amazing display of flying, what makes this bad-rear end is that it is not a one-off, it's someone's job. This is essentially a test for a navy's new Helicopter (First of class flight trial) which means deliberately sailing into the worse sea/wind conditions possible (usually around the Faroe Islands) in order to find the absolute limits that the ship and helicopter can operate together. After this 'heroic landing' the pilot took off and did it a dozen more times that day.

It appears the ship has some sort of crane arm mounted to the deck. I assume that's for plucking the heli out of the ocean when things don't go well.

A ship sank off the coast of Nigeria taking all hands with it to the bottom of the ocean. Recovery divers went down three days later looking for bodies and found the ships cook alot less dead than they were expecting.

Oh hell I lived there for like 29 years. Those aren't bad at all, as long as you pull off the road. I used to take walks in those (and the rain after.) I also got stuck in one on a horse once, luckily it was a horse that gave exactly 0 shits about anything.

Pulling off the road? That's insane. Someone could barrel into you at 40mph. I just kept going straight through red darkness and when I came out all the cars that were on the road with me when we went in were all in the same positions as we went out. Felt kind of awesome that we all did the same thing. Never paid them any mind when I was indoors. The driving part was what scared the hell out of me. I could barely see the end of the hood of my car.

Are you on something? Yeah it's traveling in the opposite direction of the other cars and it's even in the right hand lane almost as though it's supposed to be going in the opposite direction as oncoming traffic.

They tell you to pull far off the road and shut your lights off if you feel you can't drive in it. People have a tendency to slam into the back of you during those things if you slow down/pull over and put hazards on... but then most natives just bust on through like you did. That's a hella cool video.

The monsoons that come after a haboob are awesome. That's the #1 thing I miss about the desert.
