45 ACP CURES NAZIS posted:is there a good book about the political mechanics the south used/invented to leave the union? There's William Freehling's two-volume The Road to Disunion which talks about all of it at length. The only downside of the books is that his writing sometimes comes off as really self-satisfied about his own brilliance and wit.

Breaking away form Hurricane chat but seriously... listen to this poo poo: https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d99_1504727681 - bodycam from the cop who popped the cameraguy in Ohio a couple days ago. Liveleak warning or whatever, and there's no gore, but I couldn't find a decent version on youtube.

My snapchat is on the last page or two somewhere it isn't Waroduce. I'm gunna leave it up this morning till we leave for ftl. Right now gf is going to work and I'm heading in cause I volunteered to help move poo poo around the office. I'm trying to finish ASAP so I can go help her building get ready and than we are going to throw poo poo in the car and get to my parents in FTL. I'm hoping we can be out of Miami by one or 2pm but it depends on her work. I'm gunna push to have her released ASAP. She has a fractured foot she can't do poo poo anyway and she's a liability and deadweight tbf. I gotta throw shutters up at her parents house and my parents house and the goal is to be done by 8pm so GOD DAMMIT I CAN WATCH SOME loving FOOTBALL BEFORE I DIE IT'S BEEN 6 MONTHS JESUS AND I'M GOING TO MISS SUNDAY ANYWAY son of a bitch.

I figured I'd check to see if Glenn Greenwald had any hot takes regarding that funny WikiLeaks post, but mostly he's just reiterating talking points about how everyone hates Hillary and also the US commits all the war crimes all the time. But I found this little gem: https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/904677475120242689 I mean, sure, I'd probably save my cats over any of you gooners, but don't think that should be enshrined in law.

psydude posted:Can someone explain to me how hurricane hunter aircraft don't just get swatted out of the sky? I know commercial aviation is ultra conservative when it comes to weather, but it amazes me that an airplane can physically survive inside something like that. Stable-ish winds within the storm. The planes can drop a grand or so in altitude due to turbulence, which sucks but the airframe is durable. Planes don't like shearing winds and winds that are sudden and shifting. The interesting thing about those videos is how the crew are flying by instrument and the constant power adjustments made the flight engineer. I imagine these guys are flying a very precise airspeed for turbulence penetration.

cowboy elvis posted:Stable-ish winds within the storm. The planes can drop a grand or so in altitude due to turbulence, which sucks but the airframe is durable. This. We fly 210 KIAS for all storm work. You set a certain pressure or radar altitude that is usually requested by NHC and deconflict with whatever rival service is flying through at the same time. We use an s-band nose radar and another s-band lower fuselage radar (looks like a big M&M) to find a relatively safe path. Vertical shearing winds would be indicated by a sharp gradient of reflectivity (seen as green, yellow, red on the radar displays in the videos. Red is a high reflectivity value, but if it's surrounded by an easy transition of different colors, then it's usually just a ton of water. If it's on its own or forming off into a finger or notch then it'll absolutely gently caress up our day. I'm flying tonight at 0300 so I'll be out of pocket for awhile again. Just got back from Barbados, was quite nice and not affected by Irma.

The real marvel of storm chasing plane aeronautical engineering is how they manage to cram that many pairs of giant brass balls into the aircraft.

Pretend I went back and switched those two links around. But actually, I do appreciate the pretty pictures almost as much as the data you are getting. And what you are going through to get it. This storm is absolutely bonkers.
