Who’s paying for it?

Sooner or later, they will have to do what was done in other places, install electronic meters, raise electricity rates enough to cover the cost of improved infrastructure and have programs that promote getting energy efficient lighting, appliances and improving the overall efficiency of homes (such as with better…

This.

Power grids nation wide are pretty close to capacity. Plus, if we have a situation where we lose people - which happens a lot anywhere that gets snow. Or rain. Or wind.... we are screwed. The fact is, a liquid fuel is just so much easier to manage in disaster scenarios. “Oh, this truck needed to save lives is out…

Magic!

Only small sections of a Blackhawk are armored (under the pilots seats, around sensitive avionics, etc...), and the windows in most models are not bullet resistant. The skin of the aircraft is lightweight and easy to dent, damage, but also to replace. They are made to survive moderate damage, but there are many trade…

All I did was I expressed my doubts, not being an expert in military aircraft nor drones, and having had a remotely similar experience myself. I’ve done that in a cultural, if a little ironic manner (this is how I am), not attacking nor hating anyone, though.

To be honest, nobody knows how helicopters work. They’re an assortment of parts whirling at 10,000 rpm held together by blind luck and somehow defy gravity because of it.

FYI, we had an incident where the door of a bell 214 dismounted from it’s rails and went up into the main rotor. The ride back to the airport was shaky as hell and upon landing we found that the rotor was missing a 12 inch chunk of it’s trailling edge. Only the leading edge was still holding the blade in one piece…

Stay under 400 feet AGL. It’s a regulation for a reason

Really? A plastic drone that weighs nothing caused “serious damage” to a mighty war machine which purpose is to operate and survive under heavy fire ? Made “dents” in the armored fuselage and a bulletproof window? I hit a Phantom head-on with my car on race track, doing around 100mph at the time. Ended up with…

Stay under 400 feet AGL. It’s a regulation for a reason - deconfliction. Apparently it “bounced right off” after denting the fuselage, a transparency, and a rotor. This is why drone operators should be held responsible for being irresponsible - because it’s a behavior that endangers OTHERS.

They’re on the clock, so I doubt they’d have much of a case. Think of it another way:

The owners are on alert. Ratings, which directly equal revenue, are lagging. You dont think that has their attention??

You are not afforded any protection from the ramifications of exercising your first amendment rights. You have the right to say what you want (to a certain degree) so go ahead. However, U.S. labor law’s employment at will precept allows Petty to dismiss you for pretty much anything that is not against EEOC rules or a…

If these guys want to protest mon-sat then that’s a separate issue compared to when they are on clock at their employer.

Is it possible that we are a society has made mistakes because we are still evolving ?? Improving yourself, let alone a country is an on going thing.

The First Amendment guarantees the right to peaceably assemble for redress of grievances, but not employment by a NASCAR team. Your lawsuit will be about the minutia of contract or labor law, not heroic constitutional principles.

Absolutely they do. Not at their place of employment.

the 1st amendment only protects you from the government, not your employer. Not sure why so few people can understand that.

That last part is the problem: “you and your ilk.” We are all American, and it’s all of our problems.
