    Well, they're persona non grata for a whole lot of federal government agencies already. We won't purchase any DJI product specifically for that reason - because we work with a lot of fedgov folks and want to make sure we can can continue to do so. But, I hope that if they pull that BS we'd put a full on ban/sanction against them. But, they ARE the market leader in commercial UAS so it'll be interesting.

    Yeah...getting all those fucking passengers out will lower the stress on it. Maybe not on the passengers, though.

    Hence the word "thereby"...

    DJI better not toss up a geofence around Ukraine at the order of the CCP...

    Break out the blankets?

    Seems to me that the FCC could control that even without giving the tactile feedback. Basically speed gain the amount of control to the rudder.

    I know that. It was a tongue in cheek comment because when the MAX had the accidents Boeing went OHHHHHH YEAHHHHH!!!! There's this MCAS thing on the aircraft. Maybe we shoulda told ya. Oops!
  17. Ag with kids

    Actually, I was there at the WSMR SMR for the initial testing. This was in mid '94 to late '95. The missile FUCKED UP the tanks we fired at (once we got the issues worked out). Anyone in the tank died a quick death though. First thing was an overpressure of about (large number) atmospheres. Soooo...you basically got crushed to death in a few milliseconds. So, you didn't have to suffer from the next thing, which was the high temps that came from that and would have incinerated you. And, hopefully, not much of your BBQed body got sucked out the exit hole when the pressure dropped. NASTY shit.

    Well, I don't think the journos actually know shit about them and they yada yada yada like they think they do. Hypersonic just means they fly at a velocity of at least Mach 5...but it sure SOUNDS scary. Yeah, hypersonic NON-ballistic missiles exist...and we've had those also since the 70s. I worked on one in the mid 90s that was designed for anti-tank purposes. If you think the damage from the Javelins looks bad, I give you the "hypersonic" LOSAT:

    This is the most badass one they made. You even had to think in Russian to fly it!!!!

    Meh...hypersonic is an overused term by journos... Every single ICBM is hypersonic pretty much after boost phase...we have ABMs to handle those and have had them since the 60s. The PAC-3 was downselected in 1993 and went into service not long after that. It can take down "hypersonic" missiles easily. I left that world mid-90s so I know the badass tech we had then is probably dwarfed by what we have now.

    The fact they're having to pull them out in Ukraine is crazy. This is a proxy war and our proxy is doing WAY better than anyone expected.

    Oh...and an AMEX Business Platinum deal. If you know about AMEX, their deal is that you can only get a bonus once in your lifetime for any card. However, apparently, several offers have come out recently without that language. I saw I had one in my account: 150K pts for $15K spend/3 mo plus 10K pts if a AU spends $1K in the first 3 mo. So, 160K pts for $16K spend. And, since the AMEX MR pts are supposedly worth $0.02/each, that's $3200 worth of points for the $695 annual fee (also has the $200 travel credit to offset that cost). Now...I currently have the AMEX Bus Plat. But, after reading some stuff, it appears you CAN get the bonus. So, I applied and was approved immediately. I now have TWO AMEX Bus Plat cards. I'll cancel one after the first year but still have all those points. Luckily, I've got some business expenses coming up that needed to be taken care of, so I should easily hit that $16K spend...

    The FAs on my SWA flight yesterday were AGAINST masks. FA starts with the normal speech: "Masks mandate still in place. I know, everyone is tired of these things...ESPECIALLY us since we have to wear them 8-10 hrs a day, but we have to do it". Kind of surprised me. Pilot even made smart ass comment about them, too. Luckily it was a short flight from Corpus to Hobby. The FAs never got up during the flight so I had mine down on my chin the whole flight.

    I posted this earlier, but... There should be TWO categories... OPEN: ANYONE can compete here. X, XX, XXY, XY, XYY, XXXY doesn't matter. WOMEN: ONLY XY can compete here. Everything other than XX and XY are basically biological aberrations (which is why they're so rare). I'm not denigrating them, just pointing that out.
