Drop this special operator out of an even higher balloon.

The US wants to ensure that both abusers and also their victims can be equally armed. This is the fair solution... Unless the victim did drugs, then they can't be armed.

lightpole posted:And balloons are basically dependent on the Jetstream I thought, didn't the guy that wanted to take one around the world struggle cause of this? Jet stream is comparatively low altitude and violent. Wanna get above it and just easy ride.

I’ve always just got pets from the local shelter. Cats are easy that way. I don’t care about bespoke fancy cats, and shelters usually have decent cats that are a few years old, so not as desirable as a kitten and at higher risk of being at shelters for months or years.

FrozenVent posted:If you put a propeller on it it’s not a balloon anymore it’s a dirigible. Jet stream isn’t that high. At 60,000 feet plus, air currents are comparatively docile and slow.

Wombot posted:Yeah, this seems like a bad idea for a hobby? This community is using a set of calculations to figure out how much helium to put in a standard mylar party balloon, but those envelopes can't handle more than 30k feet altitude. There are some low-cost (tens of dollars) envelopes that can handle higher, as well, but still 40k feet or thereabouts. So you have a community of people who looked at the FAA regs and saw the rules only apply to things weighing more than 6lbs and decided, "We're fine! Launch 'em if you got 'em!" right into the airspace used for commercial aviation. Hobbyists obeying the FAA rules is pretty normal. The FAA regs are built roughly around the weight of a large bird, and there are a lot more birds out there than hobbyist balloons.

Wombot posted:I'm actually curious about that because birds will gently caress up an airliner. If you hit a metal payload at altitude and speed, is that encompassed in the tests that manufacturers perform? Is a 6lb balloon payload better or worse than a frozen chicken fired out of a potato cannon? Archival Test Footage? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scmQ6iN8hKM

CommieGIR posted:But I suspect the FAA still wouldn't smile on people just releasing balloons into airspace Depending on class, it's fine. You're not allowed to just release a 6 pound payload balloon at the end of the runway, though. And you aren't supposed to operate them at night without light markings. And supposed to release them when there's good visibility. This kind of thing can be done without notification: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvdi8QoJNoc

slurm posted:Gun tech and gun laws haven't really changed in generations but eventually we just become so hosed up as to think, wow let's just slaughter each other because we're mad at Facebook. A country just straight up racing backwards as a society, and we weren't even that good to start with. We can no longer be trusted with guns and I remember when that was something we relentlessly mocked other countries for. I hope we don’t race backward too far; the past was an even worse place to exist in America, aside from wildlife flaura/fauna biodiversity. I don’t think most shooters give a poo poo about facebook either. I guess some shooters are pretty old, but still.

Yeah. States have gone a long way in legalizing CCW and shall-issue permits over the last couple decades.

Depending on your race and creed and local laws, yes there absolutely has been, unless you mean via black market connections or forgot about nonwhite dudes.

While it is kind of funny that people got MAD about free U2 on their phones, it was also not great to have your music/voice synonymous with "my Apple product just hosed up" since it would default to the U2 album when it really didn't know what you wanted it to resume.
