Pilot Zone / WWII British vs Axis Engine Development
« on: November 19, 2021, 08:37:19 AM »
I watched this video thinking there are several controversial things that could be discussed and that maybe this should posted in SZ, but alas considering that it starts with an interest in aviation, decided to post it here to share it.


There's some discussion about human weakness/fallibility, possibly skewing national interests, potential for a sub-story about sexism and finally some reality that we are still plagued by the problem today with the author saying that 6% of American GA accidents have a shared root cause (not going to spoil it).


It's 27mins in length, but worth speeding up a bit to watch the whole thing as it's replete with diagrams and citations.


Enjoy.

It was a case of:
Looks like there's enough gas
(fills gas tank anyway)
(Starts up)
Damn, there wasn't enough gas
(facepalm)

I didn't say if it was accurate or not, that's the subject of debate all over this entire website. All I intended to provide is what Dave said. Nothing more.

Every NFL and every College Football stadium is full to capacity, every weekend for the last 8-10 weeks. People aren’t masked, and certainly aren’t socially distanced.

There has been not a single accusation of one of these games being deemed a “super spreader” event.

Do you honestly think masking and social distancing are effective, and that it matters?
I concur, it's certainly an example that should be more closely examined, but we're not doing contact tracing anymore to know where the infections are really coming from.


I'm looking at a new DOD policy that requires either
  • Documented proof of vaccination OR
  • Negative test within 72 hours
This in itself is part of hiding the truth because it assumes and supports the data modeling that only unvaccinated people can be COVID positive. Self-fulfilling prophesy.

Jay, if your wife is staying home can she not home school?
She's considered it, but our children are getting things at (private) school that we as adults take for granted. We pay for it and are happy to continue doing so, but she is effectively home-schooling. Our youngest (5yo) is developmentally delayed and would grow up to be a nuisance to society without her attention. He's made tremendous progress and is now working on sounding out words. He just might catch up with his peers yet.

Maybe you should wash the ice cream too, lol!  This incident is too close to my home:

He should have been made to pay for every container of ice cream the grocer had in the freezer.

  Good for you.

  Why can't we all be responsible for ourselves, set our own guidelines and evaluate our own risk levels?   Government has no place in mask mandates or social distancing or other fantasies.
Because I can't rely on Joe-Bob to not go into the vegetable section of the grocery store and not sneeze over everything. It's also why I take the extra precaution to wash my foodstuff before putting them away...all except the ice-cream. LoL.

I watched both videos with intense interest, because I want to understand what has the Airline Executives' toupees askew (from the headlines- I didn't read the articles). Then I see this post and I think: Ah! The cliff-notes, some witty banter and perhaps BOTH sides of the argument!

Afterwards, I tell my wife:
Old white men are excited because they see 2 videos with "Rap dudes" wearing MAGA-ish hats setting the neo party slogan to a rap beat. They think the foot tapping will make Black people all-of-a-sudden WAKE UP and leave the Democratic Party.

(In my best Chappelle voice) Silly White men. Don't they know we're foolish and loyal. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Even the Children of Israel were smart enough to finally leave when God brought The Plague, but here we are, actually witnessing the Biblically prophesied plague of so long ago and still cannot (yet) toss off the shackles, get up and Exodus, stage right.

This is why (my non-melanated brethren), some of my favorite verses from the Holy Quran read like this:

"In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful."

"O people, keep your duty to your Lord; surely the Shock of the Hour is a grievous thing."

"The day you see it, every woman giving suck will forget her suckling and every pregnant one will lay down her burden, and thou wilt see men as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but the chastisement of Allah will be severe."

I'm afraid, that's talking about us.

CALM DOWN. This is just an I.T. problem and the algorithms will be tuned shortly.

Strange that they aren't aware that "aviator" is a strictly male term.  Aviatrix is the proper term for the female version of an aviator.
Too much like Dominatrix if you ask me.

The poor Hedge Fund guys are crying. Poor fucking rich folks are upset because someone found a way to beat them at their own game.
Market manipulation is A-ok as long as it's the 1% that keeps it quiet.
