I read it multiple times. The New Testament and parts of the Old are full of wisdom still relevant today. The core theme of the New is to think for yourself.

I started thinking: “Why in the everliving fuck would an intelligent being create such a diverse species then expect them to all to enlighten themselves the exact same way?”

It wouldn’t. And, that’s why I’m not a Christian.

The best Christians I’ve ever met are exactly where Jesus would have them: serving the most sick in the Catholic Church.

You misunderstood.

Network latency is like seek time on a HDD.

If you mount the camera below the rim of your helmet then you’re going to have a really bad time.

Mount a wedge to the helmet and the camera base plate to the wedge. I’d use wood for simplicity of fabrication. Throw some paint on it.

If you don’t have access to a wood shop then literally take your helmet into a big box hardware store and look around for something that’ll work as is, or to a small hardware store paying a little more for assistance in figuring out a solution.

Expired VFR from above:

Think about “aviate, navigate, communicate” and add to your pilot procedure. For example, the first priority is that the pilot in command establish straight and level flight.

Also, relate that descent to things people know, such as the typical max climb and descent angles passengers experience and the maximum grade found on US interstates.

Your work is pretty good. I encourage you to pick up the textbooks used in flight school. There’s lots of ways to be a pilot without actually obtaining a VFR license, such as a recreational license or MS Flight Simulator. You can even get a taste with a type of skydive called an “assisted free fall”.

Halfway decent comment so adding more:

The emergency descent altitude is almost always 10,000 feet. This is because most people will be able to breath without the oxygen mask at this altitude. But, do not take off your mask.

They do not descend lower because, succinctly, what if all engine power is lost? If that happens then the pilots want enough altitude to have enough time to try and restart the engines and, failing engine restart, to extend gliding range in effort to maximize choices of where to land.

Qualifications: expired VFR license (not a commercial pilot)

Do.

Yes. But, it’s not difficult or expensive.

Buy a used tank & mix machine as found in most restaurants. Register a business with your state. Sign the exclusivity deal with Coke or Pepsi. Buy the syrup. If you’re using this every day it’ll be cheaper than sodastream in a relatively short period of time.

It’s basically the rules of a knife fight: The primary goal is to control the weapon, in this case the talons. Both of you are definitely going to get fucked up if you try.

The bird’s on the boardwalk for food. The most aggressive thing it’s likely to do is to steal your food.

I’m walking down the street when I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight. And then he swept up from behind. He put a gun up to my head. He made it clear he wasn’t looking for a fight.

He said, “Give me all you’ve got. I want your money not your life. But if you try to make a move, I won’t think twice.”

I told him, “You can have my cash. But first you know I got to ask, ‘What made you want to live this kind of life?’”

He said, “There ain’t no rest for the wicked. Money don’t grow on trees. I got bills to pay. I got mouths to feed. There ain’t nothing in this world for free. I know I can’t slow down. I can’t hold back though you know, I wish I could. Oh no there ain’t no rest for the wicked until we close our eyes for good.”

There’s no hope for a life of dignity. I strongly encourage you to commit Revolutionary Suicide. That’s the title of a book. Read it. If you can’t afford it then message me and I’ll buy it for you.

How soon we forget:

Fuck Donald Trump. And, fuck Biden, too. Neither of them give a fuck about you.

But don’t fall into the “green party” loophole of just sabotaging neo-liberal democrats and helping literal facists get elected.

Let me translate that for you:

I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action

If you’re offended, white moderate, then take it up with MLK Jr.

how a simple drug could collapse a long standing regime

You’ve misunderstood something. The Assad regime in Syria produced the majority of the world’s black market supply of an almost universally illegal stimulant. The regime fell because proliteriat revolutionaries leveraged sustained physical violence.

NICU

N = neonatal (newborn subset of pediatrics)

ICU = intensive care unit

pediatrics = branch of medicine having to do children and infants

Why?

Manipulation in revolution is how we get a dictatorship.

It doesn’t make any sense. The government is lying to us.

This is reasonable.

Luigi didn’t do it.

This is non-sequitur. He’s spoken only very briefly since he’s been arrested. But, that should be enough to know that he did that shit.

The two alternative possibilities that stick out to me are: He couldn’t follow through with a planned suicide; He intended to be caught.

That’s not even close to the worst shit that mod does. For example, they’ll personally attack you then call in a mod to ban you for personal attacks.

But, they’re never sanctioned. It’s good that you’ve created documentation. But, nothing will happen until he picks on the wrong person.

He’s also easy to dox.
