I am glad they saw me because I took a power nap around 3000ft alt. Cool beans.

Why is the parallax so crazy?
What is the behind/top?

From another viewpoint: people fly turbine-powered model aircraft all the time. Why wouldn't you believe it?
Well for one, where is the fuel? Seems like it would take a tremendous amount of fuel and there are no visible fuel tanks on the jetpack.
They glide for most of the flight.

>we saw a massive stock market crash For this one specifically, i don't really agree, because the index is positive year-to-date, sitting at the historical all-time high right now. Doesn't seem like a massive crash to me, given that it dipped not that badly in the first place and then almost instantly recovered.
So the market didn't crash this year?
At this point, I think it is just semantics. You can call it a crash, I would call it a dip.
Mostly because I cannot seriously call it a crash (in a way that most people think about crashes), if just a few months later the market looks like as it never even happened in the first place. When I think of a "real" crash, I think of something the effects of which are still present for at least a year or more after the dip.
But that's just my personal take on it, I do not expect everyone to agree with this interpretation of what constitutes a "real" crash.

I'd love to know the answer. Also, turns out it's not a river but a "swoop pond":
