Once the jet is in it's main ascent to cruising altitude getting to it from the ground isn't something easy for anything in the civilian world.

But like you said - dedicated surveillance.

Birds can cause a lot of damage to a jet engine. Incredible amounts actually. Thankfully birds are very lightweight and not made out of materials that can usually make a jet engine blade deform. Usually.

A bird with the right amount of oomph could accidentally deliver much stronger materials into a turbofan during takeoff. If a blade deforms inward, it will cause a cascading failure of the engine.

But that's just the engine, which is always highly vulnerable. It sure would suck if a flock of birds made out of the right materials flew in the path of a jet on takeoff. Currently planes are built to withstand a single 4lb bird strike and make a safe landing.

Idk man, my 7 year old really likes them.

It's really difficult to communicate that it's ok for him to like the design, after all it is exactly what a 7 year old would design, but we do not need to share that particular opinion often and loudly.

The first of Trump's military blunders. The same one Hitler made.

Putin couldn't wish for a more useful idiot. Eventually he'll be giving direct tactical orders that result in China and Russia not needing to worry about the US Navy presence.

My prediction?

He'll first order Carrier Strike groups to reduce the number of vessels. Maybe keep one AEGIS guided missile destroyer, and one Alreigh-Burke. Remove one of the attack submarines. Cut the Supply-class boats down to a single vessel. ("Just cram it all it one, and fill it up twice as often").

But that's not Hitler level stupid on it's own. He'll have those ships scrapped. He needs to appease the defense industry, so he'll order the procurement of the true king of the fleet: Trump-class Dreadnaught Battleships (because he needs the extra big dreadnaughts!). They should be "nuclear powered" use the latest "laser cannon" a rail gun, and the biggest longest range cannons they can fit.

And that's just what he'll start with in the Navy.

It's gotta be old. 10 years ago I had to get CPR certified and it was chest compressions only.

And you're right - the actual act of respirations doesn't do any good. The lungs operate on the diaphragm pulling a vacuum. The diaphragm is a muscle. Muscle requires oxygen and exchanges carbon dioxide. Oxygen can only get to muscle if blood is flowing. Further, oxygen and carbon monoxide in the lungs can only be exchanged if there is blood flow. The last breath the person took only consumed 24% of the breath's oxygen. I'm sure it's more complicated than this, but that sounds like if they aren't breathing, you can get 3 more breaths worth of oxygen cycled.

And I agree, if the airway is clear, the compressions are definitely cycling the patient's breath a very small amount. The lungs really don't have any where to go, so each "down" is going to push a tiny amount, and each "up" is going to vacuum in a small amount.

I thought that CPR would have a significantly lower chance of survival in general, that 40% is encouraging to read.

I'm out of the loop and this looks hilarious if it is what I think it is.

I can't draw, but I'd start drawing these puppet Trump's with a pair o little butt cheeks for Musk's hand.

I don't particularly remember this story, but I also remember in 2016 some pretty damn clear links to Russia were made.

But, it was also all described perfectly in the Russian playbook to defeat the US, so congrats Soviets, you did it

At what cost?

Have been and been going through this myself.

There's an uncomfortable truth here, when you cannot fully love yourself, you cannot fully love others. This is simple to explain: you are probably either don't know your strengths and weaknesses or you don't believe in them. You may know what you value but you may not seek them. You may know what a healthy relationship is, but you haven't been in one.

Relationships require vulnerability, boundaries, and communication.

Depression is a condition where your brain is literally communicating to you (and others) very incorrect information.

This will lead you to ignoring red flags in relationships, but also missing green flags. As you start to handle depression, you need to do you. Do a lot of things with friends, coworkers outside of work, family, etc. those are the relationships you need to build up first, and they will help guide you while you recover.

The only person that knows if you still need help with depression is you. Sure, you may not be able to get rid of it entirely, but there will be a moment in the future, when you have an expanded support system, when you feel secure in the least, that you will know when you can date someone.

I'm not there yet. But I see how to get there now. It takes time, and it might be another year or two. I'll be a 36 y/o single dad. That's like the most difficult playing field out there. But having been in a single terrible relationship most of my life, I've felt marvelous when not worried about dating.

Oh, this will surely end well.

à bas le roi !

Faces getting eaten by leopards known to eat faces.

I personally, advocated voting for the "leopard that doesn't eat faces, but was still a leopard" and got told that was just as bad. Personally, I preferred the illusion of democracy vs the cessation of all remaining rights.

This is the real solution.

Dr. King even stated as much.

If everyone said "enough, we've endured enough" and stopped letting the grinder do its thing, change would occur.

I can guarantee that it would be met with violence too, it has been met with violence. The only thing worse than union labor, is no labor.

Mario Savio, another activist in the 60s, revealed to have been illegally spied on by the FBI in 1999 ended one of his speeches with this: "There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels ... upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
