@Axtremus The PA-97 was built under a 1980 U.S. Navy contract for the Forest Service to demonstrate a heavy vertical airlifter for harvesting timber from inaccessible terrain. The single demonstrator used a retired Navy ZPG-2W blimp envelope and four Sikorsky H-34J helicopters. The combination of a large blimp with powered lift made the 343 foot (104.57 m) long helistat the largest dynamic lift aircraft in the world.[1] The helicopters used were aged examples of a long-established design. Their tail rotors were removed, their fuselages shortened and they were attached to a crude tubular aluminum framework beneath the helium-filled envelope. Four freely-castering twin-wheel bogies beneath the framework provided the undercarriage. Criticism has been expressed of the structural qualities and stress analysis of this framework.[3] Test flights were made from the Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst in New Jersey, making use of the long-established hangars for handling large airships. First flight was on 26 April 1986.[4] On 1 July 1986, the PA-97 crashed immediately after liftoff on a test flight, killing one of the pilots.[3][5] A gust of wind from the rear of the aircraft induced some movement across the ramp. The undercarriage responded badly to this, the bogies shimmying uncontrollably.[3] Vibration in the framework then coupled with a helicopter phenomenon known as ground resonance.[3] The vibration was sufficient to cause a structural failure as the starboard rear helicopter broke off its mounting, its rotors cutting into the gasbag.[3] The unbalanced lift then made the vibrations worse and the remaining three helicopters broke free.

So ... Matrix, Skynet, or the Master Control Program?

I almost wish the Russians would slip up and attack NATO so we could annihilate the Russian forces in Ukraine.

Oh, they can fire her. And then probably close that pharmacy down. Or pay somebody silly money to locum tenens. Standard signing bonus money for a retail pharmacist nowadays is 50 grand. If you can find one.

@Jolly said in Lots of internal FOXNews conversations released: On any given work day, at any given minute, a company's employees are discussing how to pitch their services or a product. Fox News does it, CNN does it. Wells Fargo, GM, Boeing, Exxon all do it. Shucks, the White House staff does it. Shucks, the tncr staff does it

@jon-nyc said in Natural Immunity: Seems consistent with other viruses AFAIK. But as usual it’s safer to get the immunity from a vaccine than from an infection. @Jolly I don’t remember being told otherwise, I only remember there not being sufficient data. That’s my recollection as well.

My first MRI: "You're not claustrophobic, or anything, are you Doc?" "Nah..." "OK! In we go!" "GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!" (well I didn't say that, but I thought it)

The coroner recorded the dead as one by “misadventure,” though they noted that he also appeared to have a heart attack at the time of the vicious chicken mauling. Death by “Misadventure”? Sounds like a classification you’d see on one of those old lists of causes of death from the 18th century.

dont forget to set to puree

Anti social, moi? He can FOAD.

The long awaited important sections of the Georgia report, which do not even mention President Trump’s name, have nothing to do with the President because President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. The President participated in two perfect phone calls regarding election integrity in Georgia, which he is entitled to do - in fact, as President, it was President Trump’s Constitutional duty to ensure election safety, security, and integrity…. Doctor Phibes says never trust a man who speaks about himself in the third person. There's a good chance he's off his trolley.

Now look here, you Baltic linebacker....
