On the other hand, those teachers probably signed a waiver when they started this training, permitting this sort of thing. It's cool, they found a reasonable alternative: https://www.somethingawful.com/news/active-shooter-white/

azurite posted:Grab the waste basket and sit your rear end on the toilet I somehow managed to avoid throwing up entirely from the time I was an infant until age 20. I was staying with my parents over summer break, and I woke up at 4am feeling a little... Off. Went to the bathroom, sat down, and realized that the horrors of the deep were on their way, and I was powerless to stop them. Relying on the deepest of ancestral memories, I reflexively reached down for the trash bin moments before my stomach up-heaved everything I had eaten since 1994, timed perfectly to coincide with my rear end blowing liquified poo poo at maximum velocity out my other end. I think the equal and opposite reactions of both projectile flows is what kept me stuck to the toilet until my GI system had expelled it's entire carrying capacity. I cleaned myself as best I could, then half crawled up the stairs to croak thru my parents bedroom door, "I think I threw up?" because it was such a shock to my system that it was all I could think to say. The next morning, my dad took me to task for barfing in the trash bin instead of the toilet, and I burst into tears because I had a sense memory of the poo poo smell and the thought of trying to barf into a bowl of steaming diarrhea was enough to trigger a meltdown. He apologized when he realized the full enchilada was happening to me all at once, and the alternative would have been that other goon's liquid-poo poo-spray-paint situation, which is way harder to clean up than hosing out a plastic bin.

I had a ex who had food poisoning and woke me up because she was going to throw up while on the toilet and needed something to hork in, barfed all over herself because I was too slow in my sleep-addled state to A) locate a suitable container and B) dump the contents out and C) get it to her in time. Then she screamed at me while making GBS threads torrents and covered in vomit. There was a plastic trashcan right next to the toilet and all she had to do was pull out the plastic bag with the trash in it. But I guess I was the rear end in a top hat for not getting food poisoning or something.

Planes scare the gently caress outta me but helicopters are surprisingly chill. Like they're loud as gently caress but the ride is really gentle and nice. Getting winched up into one would probably suck though.

An airplane by its nature wants to fly and, if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in the delicate balance, the helicopter stops flying, immediately and disastrously. There is no such thing as a gliding helicopter.

a planes takeoff and landing is the part i dont like. a helicopter just kinda floats up into the air and down to the ground calmly. yeah there is probably way more poo poo to go wrong when theres a series of blades twirling around at high speeds above your head but i never said my fear of planes was rational.

Getting winched up into one would probably suck though. My experience of helicopters would suggest otherwise. It was very oh poo poo we're moving up and sideways oh daaamn now we're spinning 180 while descending at speed to land on this tiny square the size of my driveway but it's beside a river god daaamn. But hey it was a lot of fun.

The times I've flown in a helicopter they were medivac flights so they probably tried to keep things as steady as possible for the patients sake. They fly by beating the air into submission though which is cool as hell. Buncha helicopter haters itt.

There is a gliding helicopter but the glide ratio still means your day is going to be very bad oh and also if there is any sort of little mechanical failure with the fail safe linkages that make it sync enough to glide then yeah you are just falling out of the sky.

BMan posted:Try a helicopter flight sim and your opinion will change quickly I've spent some time in the Army Blackhawk helicopter simulator, which is one of those 2-storey hydraulic things that is so close to reality that you earn flight hours by using it. I was there because I was good friends with one of the guys that ran it and he had some free time to let me have a go. Anyway, I can tell you that as an untrained person handed the controls while in mid-air I managed to hit the ground in about 10 seconds. It's also very hard to fly when struck by lightning, or a porta-potty, or hitting a tank in mid-air (the sim allows for some pretty weird situations!) Mind you, it doesn't take long to get the hang of it and fly about to a very basic degree. Different story if you wanted to land in a particular place, or had the added threat of it being in the real world. At no stage did I feel like I was ready to try the real thing. But man that was a cool experience. This was a while ago and the graphics were pretty primitive and you first look at them and think it's rubbish. But after a minute or two of controlling this huge machine you feel like you're in the air.

I remember a nugget of humour in some airchat thread but can't recall the source: "If the wings are moving faster than the fuselage, the vehicle is a helicopter, and therefore unsafe." Anyone know where that was from? It had some other aircraft jokes in it too, I'm sure.
