Even a well maintained helicopter is a safety nightmare.
I started my career in aerospace at a company that makes helicopter engines and later I became a search and rescue mountaineer/EMT in a county with more helicopters used for SAR than anywhere else in the US. We beat it into our new members "never pass up the opportunity to turn down a helicopter ride".
The mountain rescue association tracks member fatalities and injuries. Helicopter accidents are, by a large margin, the leading cause of line of duty death in mountain rescue, and we spend only a couple percent of our time in them.

Faraday cage does not prevent gyroscopes and accelerometers from working. Then if you remove it from a faraday cage in the future, it will transmit all that movement

This one goes out to all the small government, privacy loving, Republicans out there, supposedly hating invasive big brother tactics and representing the values of the American heartland.
Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.

Do you have a recommendation for a good cheap android phone (didn't worry, I'll run a rom) that one could get to have a "clean" phone?
I've been thinking about getting a phone that has none of my socials on it for when I go to Canada to get vaccines

Pixel 8/9 does have some CPU features that help separate memory, which can be useful for keeping apps from creeping on memory they shouldn't.

sounds like a good reason to target any helicopters flying overhead with green lasers.
schrieb am 11. Juni 2025, 17:47 zuletzt editiert vonSomeone I know is a military pilot. The green lasers were especially rough, because the light would get spread through the entire cockpit getting split up by the windshield, and even worse when he was flying with nightvision.
..... do with this information what you will.

Source. Local police chases and FAA raids/reporting. Do not do this. You'd be better off finding another method.

Helicopters can't control decent in failure situations. Helos are a safety hazard period. I'm with the never pass up an opportunity to decline a helo ride crew above.

Screw that.

One wonders just how viable the Ukranian strategy would be to take out LAPD choppers (when landed, of course).
schrieb am 11. Juni 2025, 18:12 zuletzt editiert vonOmfg, fucking this! We need to take that operational knowledge the Ukrainians have gained and use it to fight and kill these bastards. Ukrainians who are smart, can speak decent English, and are entrepreneurial in spirit should consider becoming consultants to smaller partisan organizations.
