Seattle has a reputation for being rainy, but the Gulf Coast is the real rainiest part of CONUS. It's just the fact that we get a lot of sunshine, too, that keeps us from having the reputation the PNW does

Grip it and rip it posted:What the gently caress? Shouldn't there be a bunch of redundancies to route power from one generator to another or something like that for a long range bomber? The redundancies are "having four engines per wing," and no, you can't Anakin your way out of losing all the ones on a side.

I don't know for certain how exactly it would work for a B-52, I'm taking what I know of from a C-130 pilot I talk to and ask random questions about these kinds of things and applying it so probably wrong on some details. When I asked what happens if one wing goes out they explained to me that there are ways to continue flight. The entire plane purposefully tips to one side and kind of sort of but-not-really-totally "balances" on the one wing still providing power. It's not a full 90 degree rotations with the powered wing pointing straight down, the pilot is balancing all the vectors so that the overall result is still going forward enough to keep controlled flight going. The unpowered wing doesn't provide forward thrust, but still provides upward thrust. It's obviously an extremely lovely way to fly. Apparently it also shoots your control surfaces to poo poo on top of the wonky vector-balancing, but it's not impossible to fly with given you have enough altitude (read: time) to balance things out and get them under control since you're probably dropping like a graceful rock for a while during the process of sorting this poo poo out. Which sounds like one of the problems that came up here with them already descending. Being able to restore at least partial power gave them the opportunity to have a good landing in this case. Without that, if the plane is still under control but flying on one wing you basically radio ahead and let everyone know your landing is going to involve the wing hitting first and then everything probably going to poo poo since you can't level out for the final approach and speed control is not as easily managed as normal.

Paging Mr. Nice! and law-knowers... Seems like the other famous Georgia RICO trial completely blew up: https://x.com/cathyrusson/status/1800225739478073808?t=99iUW8Op8UkT36bxWtW8Pw&s=19 Recap: it appears that the prosecution, the judge, and a potential witness (plus witness's stand-in counsel) met in the judge's chambers for two hours, without defense counsel present. On Friday, the witness pleaded the fifth and got arrested for it (guessing contempt?), then admitted to a murder in chambers. That led to today, where he agreed to testify. Defense counsel found out - someone on court staff or the prosecution snitched (likely the witness's stand-in lawyer). Judge promptly demands to know who told the defense. Defense attorney doesn't say - gets jailed for contempt. While being hauled out, yells motions for mistrial. Next lawyer for another defendant comes out, moves for mistrial, denied, and yells for previously-jailed lawyer to be brought out to prevent a denial of counsel appeal. Recap on the bad site and here: https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/young-thug-trial-lil-woody-takes-stand-after-being-arrested facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Jun 10, 2024 |

I don’t know about thrust, but for electrical power there is. I’d love the details, but I assume that whatever causes the engine outs caused a ground fault and tripped the whole normally paralleled system off, and then either the bus tie network isolated the fault and electrical power was restored or they isolated all the gens and just flew on the equipment powered by the RH gens, which is a planned contingency. If they restarted the engines they had some sort of electrical power.

Nystral posted:But given the witness was jailed for contempt, isn’t that what likely happened? Here's the problem: a fundamental design of the court system is that the judge never, ever talks to just one party. Defense wants a sidebar? Cool, bring the prosecution. Feds have a problem to be discussed without the jury? Cool, bring the defense with you. Need a weirdo motion filed? Great - did defense see it? Judge throws a hissy fit and clears the chambers? Both parties' lawyers stay around. Holy gently caress a juror just got a bribe on their doorstep? Ok counsels, let's discuss it together. Here, the judge and prosecution got together for a two-hour chat without the defense. That's a monumental fuckup - remember Donnie yelling his bullshit about the prosecution and the judge being in cahoots? This is an actual, real example of that! Nothing really wrong with a judge trying to find a resolution that gets a witness to testify. Huge problem when he does so behind closed doors with the prosecution, the witness, and the witness's lawyer. He forgot the lawyer for the defendants!

Yes, if an immunized witness fails to testify, they can be jailed for contempt until they decide to testify (at least until the trial is over, don't think you can keep them jailed during any appeals) The BIG loving problem here is that the judge and DA had a secret meeting with the witness and the witness's attorney after which the witness was again ready to testify.

Are they saying that the prosecutor and judge had a secret meeting during which they covered up a murder. Isn’t that the one thing other than cash exchanging hands that judicial immunity doesn’t cover?

It's a murder trial against an Atlanta rapper that is using RICO to target anyone in the general area who's black and has heard a rap once. The entire thing is a shitshow and why the local attorneys I know who are familiar with Fani Willis expected her to arrogantly overreach and gently caress up the trump case. In this case I think the problem is that the judge had a meeting with the prosecutor, the witness, and the witness attorney without the defense counsel being present, which is a huge no-no.

Can a GA appeals court step in and force the mistrial or do we all have to wait for the charade to conclude? I think it can be cured by giving the transcript of the ex parte hearing to the defense and giving the defense adequate time to prepare for additional cross examination based on information in the transcript. An appeals court is not going to step in without somebody asking them to, and how to ask them in the middle of trial is a georgia law question. In my jurisdiction, if the judge releases the transcript, there's probably no way. If the judge doesn't release the transcript, still probably not, but with a better chance of maybe. hobbesmaster posted:What I’m confused about is the murder thing. The witness earlier refused to testify because he might incriminate himself in a murder. The DA gave the witness immunity for the murder that the witness may have committed and the judge approved the grant of immunity - so that the witness could not claim the 5th and could be required to testify. (Young Thug's involvement in the murder is alleged to be renting the car used in the murder as one of the 191 RICO actions he and his co-defendants did) The witness then balked when it came time to testify, which prompted this secret hearing to force the witness to go ahead and testify.

I went to a boat company in South Carolina. The boat I said, How is it? He said, it's a problem, sir, they want us to make all electric boats. These are boats that are from 16 to 35 or so feet, fishing boats, leisure boats. Beautiful company in South Carolina. Beautiful guy's been doing it for 50 years. He sells hundreds of boats every couple of months. I mean, really, fantastic guy. And they use the mercury engines and different engines in the back. No problem. They want to take that out. They want to make it all electric. He said, The problem is the boat is so heavy it can't float. I said, that sounds like a problem. He said, also it can't go fast because of the weight. And they want to now have a 50 mile or 70 mile radius. You have to go out 70 miles before you can really start the boat up and you can go out at two knots. That's essentially almost like two miles an hour. I say, How long does it take you to get out there? Many hours. And then you're allowed to go around for 10 minutes, but you have to come back because the batteries only last for a very short period. So I said, let me ask you a question. And he said, nobody ever asked this question, and it was because of MIT. My relationship to MIT, very smart. He goes, I say, what would happen if the boat sank from its weight, and you're in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery's now underwater, and there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there, by the way a lot of shark attacks lately, did you notice that? I watched some guys justifying it today. Well, they weren't really that angry. They bit off the young lady's legs because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what - who she was. These people are great. He said, There's no problem with sharks. They just didn't really understand. A young woman swimming now really got decimated, and other people too, a lot of shark attacks. So I said, so there's a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards. Or here. Do I get electrocuted? If the water goes over the battery the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted? Because I will tell you he didn't know the answer. He said, You know, nobody's ever asked me that question. I said, I think it's a good question. I think there's a lot of electric current coming through that water, but you know what I do, if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I'll take electrocution every single time I'm not getting near the shark. So we're going to end that. We're going to end that for boats. We're going to end that for trucks. e: It’s at around forty‐two minutes in PBS’ recording. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZddZeznA4E&t=2502s Platystemon fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Jun 12, 2024 |
