Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:The best war movies are anti-war. B-52, what is that roundel on your fuselage? A peace roundel, sir. Where'd you get it? I don't remember, sir. What is that you've got written on your vertical stabilizer? "Born to Kill", sir. You write "Born to Kill" on your vertical stabilizer and you wear a peace roundel. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke? No, sir. You'd better get your flight deck and your landing gear wired together, or I will take a giant fuel dump on you.

Son of Thunderbeast posted:Everyone loves high-performance machines that can zoom fast and do spectacular maneuvers. On the ground you can find the lightest, fastest, and most maneuverable machines in racing circuits and other things like that, because fighting vehicles have very different requirements, so if you want that spectacle you go to the tracks. Air fighting is all about building and maintaining energy and getting a better angle on your opponent, so when you want that spectacle you go to the air shows with the death machines. There's also air racing leagues, but they don't have a fraction of the money, hardware, or events that the MIC does. So a lot of people choose to overlook it, or just never think about it in the first place. Idk the stunt planes in things like Seattle's SeaFair (which is unnecessary and bad for the environment) are pretty nimbly bimbly and fun to watch even though they're not jets

OSHA (contains text about death, but is a good PSA): Please don't get drunk or cold, crawl into a garbage dumpster, and pass out. They won't hear you when the compactor runs. https://www.nj.com/ocean/2022/11/nj-man-dies-after-climbing-into-dumpster-being-compressed-into-recycling-truck.html

nomad2020 posted:You can run up all that stuff on the ground. Military trucks have similar issues, since they spend 99. recurring 9% of their lifetime rotting in a parking lot. The idea that you can run up everything on ground is only temporarily true. For example, you need it jacked in the air to cycle landing gear and you're not really exercising the shocks unless you put it back down and even then not through anywhere near the range of travel. You can run the engines up to ground idle but if you want to throttle them up to takeoff speed you're going to need to tie it down in a hush house. Fuel system pumps and seals would need to be exercised and wetted. You'd have to actively pump fuel around the aircraft. If the aircraft is pressurized certain components can't really be tested without going up to altitude. Like for a year or two it would work but for but after 8-10 years if you haven't flown it; it's not flyable without a full overhaul. On top of the mechanical issues with not flying an aircraft you'd also have the issue of having a qualified pilot. At some point, if no one has flown it in 10 years it's crazy dangerous to just shove someone in the cockpit. With a historical they would often have unusual control layout and flight characteristics and the flight manuals aren't written to modern standards. There's no simulator and if no one has flown it in 10 years there's no one to train you. If you want to maintain a historical aircraft in flyable condition and maintain knowledge of what it's like to fly it the safest and most practical way to do that is to fly it.

Much better to 'become steam explosion' via grounding something excessive, like whacking a metal pole on a 15.5KV substation feeder line trying to knock your Frisbee down. You're dead before the breaker can clear, which is WAY less than one second, so win win!

Something like this happened to my sister while visiting her son in New Mexico a couple years back. She got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom; the stairway was right next to it & in the dark she chose wrong. Broke her right orbit, her jaw, and her neck. Fortunately the neck break was & remained closed & she's OK now.

Stairs legit scare me because it's so easy to just be a clumsy dumbass (which I am) and have them wreck your poo poo. I also have a lame leg so I take them super slow and careful. Doesn't help that in every movie, falling down the stairs was a death sentence nearly always.

Tho reading that I had the most dumb random thought, falling down the stairs and breaking all that poo poo is seriously horrible, but you still need to take that piss as well. Unperson_47 posted:Doesn't help that in every movie, falling down the stairs was a death sentence nearly always. Wasn't there a thing in London/England with murder stairs for the maids, where it was normal that they had their own stairs and people of course pinching pennies and building them as lovely and small as possible?
