so a few hours ago I mentioned the botched Houston drug raid that left two murdered by police hands, 4 police shot(likely by their own) and the officer responsible, Gerald Goines, now facing felony murder charges for fabricating this and virtually his entire career. well, we connected the timelines, he had arrested George Floyd previously in Houston. https://twitter.com/stjbs/status/1267589620348391428?s=20

hobbesmaster posted:I don't know what the height velocity curve looks like for a blackhawk but that seems likely to be in one of the "engine failure is unrecoverable" zones of it? That's why the Blackhawks have two engines. Depending on the conditions that can hover with one engine. And even if it can't hovet with that one engine it can fly away with one engine.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Hovering for extended periods is already a bad idea. Ask any helicopter pilot. I don't know where you got this but it's incorrect. Source: I'm a helicopter flight engineer. Also those rotors are producing so much downwash neither cardboard nor balloons would ever get near them. It's super dumb of them to be hovering below the rooftops in a city where poles and wires could be (especially at night), but that's about it. hobbesmaster posted:I don't know what the height velocity curve looks like for a blackhawk but that seems likely to be in one of the "engine failure is unrecoverable" zones of it? The height/velocity curve for a slick blackhawk wouldn't be too bad and if they poo poo an engine they would be able to land relatively safely from that altitude, or depending on the area in front of them, get to safe single engine airspeed.

I'm worried about that "land relatively safely" part because theres a packed street below them, buildings, powerlines, etc.

Cardboard balloons or what have you could still get up there because the rotor system is recirculating all that air. A Black Hawk and a Lakota don't put it put out as much rotor wash as a chinook so it's a little different ballgame.

Fair enough about hovering - that low you'd be aided by ground effect. Anyway, have an uplifting moment shared to me by a friend that I haven't seen posted yet: https://twitter.com/Unnamedinsider/status/1267415249197641730 EDIT: Evidently this is from a year ago. Time for me to check out because I'm getting punchy. Hope the world's still around ~5 hours from now. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Jun 2, 2020 |

It's definitely not Catholic because they have a female bishop. Catholics still believe since Jesus never EXPLICITLY said women could be priests that they can't.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:hey brah Lapsed catholic here too. My exwifes' family was Southern catholic, which is in itself a whole different experience from the predominantly german style catholic torture fests I sat through as a child. There is no god. I don't know how so many people don't see it, but there's a definite fog of dogma there with catholics, episcopalians, seventh day adventists, mormons, etc, etc (mormons are usually most chill).

I've seen random pieces of debris get recirculated into the rotor system but it usually happens on the ground. In a hover the downwash is nuts.

@ crusty i know, and i hate everything the church has done to gently caress millions of people over that being said the easiest part of my dad's death was the funeral itself. just because i knew the process and was in a place i felt was appropriate and fitting and it did give some relief to have that in place as a temporary break from dealing with poo poo and my priest growing up was legit a really awesome person who was kind and fantastically interesting. i was as altar boy through 8th grade- none of the cassocks fit me or my youngest sister since we were both pushing 6 ft then and we towered over the 5'3 priest. He said he liked having bodyguards and would call me when i still lived in town to help him troubleshoot the churchbell computer system my dad did k-12 in catholic school and did two years of college before going into the seminary for a year. pretty sure my older sister stopped that dream. i got booted from an all boys private catholic high school sophomore year for weed and was punished by being allowed to wear jeans and see girls all day everyday so yes. this is triggering.

Handsome Ralph posted:Looking forward to listening to this I listened to this today and it was kind of an eye opener. I had read On Killing a number of years ago and didn't think it was terrible, but that was as far as I went with him. I remember him doing some yelling at clouds stuff about video games back when Jack Thompson was doing his thing, but I didn't know he'd gone full ~*sHeEpDoG*~ and was fronting that to LE. In hindsight I guess that shouldn't be a surprise.

As the episode started I was like "Huuuh that name rings a bell. Wait did this guy write On Killing? Oh lord it is" I'd generally heard it favorably referred to but uh yeah glad I never took a look after this episode. All his other ideas are "What if I did the OPPOSITE of what the consensus from psychologists and sociologists is"

In hindsight I guess that shouldn't be a surprise. The only parts of that book that are useful (On Combat, or On Killing - there's a lot of overlap) are the parts about the science of Body Alarm Reaction, perceptual distortions during fight or flight scenarios, etc. And all of that is taken from other books and research by people who actually did scientific research - actual academics that study neurology, physiology, officer involved shootings, etc. Everything I read in both books on those topics was stated better elsewhere in books or academic journal articles. The rest of the books were the sheepdog bullshit, terribly done research, the anti video game horseshit, and other random other poo poo I forgot about.

Do... do the guys at the top, Barr and Trump and the CJCS, do they actually believe there is an armed organized violent domestic terror group called Antifa? Like, that’s loving insane. I live in MAGA country, and a well off part of it at that, so no real protests or demonstrations here. But.. people in my towns FB group seriously think there are Antifa soldiers (or often enough they call them socialists. VoV) living amongst us and waiting to kill and loot and rob. It’s like everyone to the right end of the spectrum is just down for believing inane dumb bullshit. AND WHO THE gently caress CAN SERIOUSLY DENOUNCE A GROUP THAT IS ANTI FASCIST? It’s good people on both sides when klansmen get outta line but there’s people going after klansmen and white nationalists? ANTIFA SUPER SOLDIER TERRORISTS!!!

barr absolutely does not believe but is totally fine with the fiction to cement more power because he's an absolute monster. Trump might. It's hard to tell when he's just being cynical and when he's dumb as a brick. It's mostly the latter but sometimes his manipulation/graft skill is functioning.
