An authoritarian, controlled economy will fail. We don't need any more examples to understand why.

$50k isn't a house, college education, visit to the ER, or even a good truck.

That's because there is no war but the class war.

I read it multiple times. The New Testament and parts of the Old are full of wisdom still relevant today. The core theme of the New is to think for yourself.

I started thinking: "Why in the everliving fuck would an intelligent being create such a diverse species then expect them to all to enlighten themselves the exact same way?"

It wouldn't. And, that's why I'm not a Christian.

The best Christians I've ever met are exactly where Jesus would have them: serving the most sick in the Catholic Church.

AR-15 $800-1500

Cheaper, more portable, and the prerequisite to the guillotine.

Network latency is like seek time on a HDD.

If you mount the camera below the rim of your helmet then you're going to have a really bad time.

Mount a wedge to the helmet and the camera base plate to the wedge. I'd use wood for simplicity of fabrication. Throw some paint on it.

If you don't have access to a wood shop then literally take your helmet into a big box hardware store and look around for something that'll work as is, or to a small hardware store paying a little more for assistance in figuring out a solution.

Expired VFR from above:

Think about "aviate, navigate, communicate" and add to your pilot procedure. For example, the first priority is that the pilot in command establish straight and level flight.

Also, relate that descent to things people know, such as the typical max climb and descent angles passengers experience and the maximum grade found on US interstates.

Your work is pretty good. I encourage you to pick up the textbooks used in flight school. There's lots of ways to be a pilot without actually obtaining a VFR license, such as a recreational license or MS Flight Simulator. You can even get a taste with a type of skydive called an "assisted free fall".

Halfway decent comment so adding more:

The emergency descent altitude is almost always 10,000 feet. This is because most people will be able to breath without the oxygen mask at this altitude. But, do not take off your mask.

They do not descend lower because, succinctly, what if all engine power is lost? If that happens then the pilots want enough altitude to have enough time to try and restart the engines and, failing engine restart, to extend gliding range in effort to maximize choices of where to land.

Qualifications: expired VFR license (not a commercial pilot)
