What is it about Ospreys that make them drop out of the air catastrophically ? It seems every couple of months there's another accident.

Their blades can't flex at all, the way their transmission works if one side fails the other can't operate, etc. They're a helicopter that can't auto rotate and a plane that can't glide

Corn Burst posted:

This is entirely incorrect. We have an overrunning clutch in our transmission that allows for autorotation, and if one engine fails the midwing gearbox allows a single engine to run both proprotors.
Also we have a glide ratio of 4.5/1, which isn't great but we can glide.

China is in a position now where that threat means something, too. Yeah, those Pacific air bases you need to fight another Korean War? Would be a shame if something happened to them.

Though I think Trump's blustering is mainly intended for a domestic audience. People should interpret Trump's rhetoric like they would a Gaddafi, Putin, etc.

It's really sad that the president is on that level, too

I'm skeptical that something the size of a DJI4 would be enough to take down a chopper. Those things are 3 pounds and a good bit of its plastic. Also there's a whole lot of random internet rumors swirling around, I'm going to wait until there's something official out there.

Had a discussion with coworkers about Charlottesville and one of them quoted "one racist rear end in a top hat ran over more racist assholes who were protesting other racist assholes". I'm not sure where the anti Nazi protesters became racists but I started getting really irked and ended the conversations with "THEY ARE LITERAL NAZIS JESUS CHRIST".

Well, I feel like a total loving rear end in a top hat now. The Nazis are literally shooting at people, why the gently caress aren't we shooting back?

People I know keep posting poo poo about how antifa is horrible and proves the left is just as bad. I'm sorry but most times antifa is fighting back against literal Nazis so they'll never be as bad.

I also notice all of the older people i see posting about right wing stuff are baby boomer types trying to maintain a desperate grasp of their reality in which they're the great white redeemer or whatever. When brown people get too much freedom it's obviously bad for everyone.
