You can easily skip over and not click on an article, not so with fluff content in a video. There's a reason people are using add-ons that let you skip that kind of garbage in Youtube videos. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/ > SponsorBlock lets you skip over ... annoying parts of YouTube videos.
But he doesn't have a sponsor segment? I enjoy his long explanations with lots of side commentary. You can find the long form narrative boring. That's ok. There is no right way to tell a story.

All their comments are dead
if part of the way the shadowban works is that the banee isn't alerted, why are you alerting them which works against "the system"?
Usually, when I see a reasonable but dead comment, I vouch for it. If the commenter is shadowbanned and their other most recent comments are also reasonable and civil, I (sometimes) alert them to their status.

#94Former pro video editor here. The second video looks like bullshit. Serious people would show the video at normal speed, then slowed done, and added timecode, as well as documenting their methods. They also wouldn't make assumptions about what was going on, eg 'tries to restart the engine'. These black blobs look to me like compression artifacts, from zooming a video from a phone camera that was compressed for storag…

Well it is an anagram for “goblin war”

A swan can weigh 8 kilos, a goose can weigh 6, and DJi phantom weighs 1.2 kilos. Multiple planes crashed with fatalities vecause of birds, as far as I am aware none have done so because of a drone. The fear of drones had led to pilots reporting drone sightings at 10,000 feet in the middle of the Ocean, thousands of miles from shore. "Several commenters noted that the AMA analyzed those reported ‘incidents’ and found…
It’s also kind of insulting to those of us who go out of our way to safely fly drones recreationally. More and more drones you purchase today have built-in GPS transponders. I’m notified when airplanes are nearby even at altitudes I can’t reach, and I can tell you what kind of air space I’m in easily. I’m registered with the FAA as required, and I’ve taken more safety courses than I need, mostly because I wouldn’t mi…
I assume you mean ADS-B in? Is the receiver in the drone itself or in the ground station/transmitter?

#97FWIW, I have a few thousand hours flying jet fighters and have hit rather large birds at high speed (me, not them), and have been hit by rather large caliber bullets (I assume also at high speed). From the two videos, taken at two locations, I cannot positively id a drone. What is described as a sudden altitude change in the second video doesn't look like anything in the first video, though it's mostly blocked by the…
Any advice for a aspiring fighter jet pilot? (goal is to eventually fly an L39 Albatross)
The US has engaged in a series of unprovoked wars for decades, killing millions of innocent people and losing almost everyone.
Why would you want to participate in this sequence of genocides and war crimes?

#98The sad reality of this incident is that it was likely just a result of poor vertical separation, either due to badly planned flight paths or lack of preparation, more likely both.

No. While the prop is, uh, properly a wing, and technically hitting something with it would interrupt the airflow, they're quite strong and would likely just destroy the object, slightly damaging the prop. If it did damage it beyond usability, it'd been way more obvious in the video and with the prop breaking off. If you're talking about the aircraft stalling, then it's unlikely as we don't see that significant of a…
that's some cool perspective. thanks for taking the time to reply and for sharing.
A stall in aircraft parlance refers to a change in airflow over the wings or control surfaces that causes the sudden or progressive loss of aerodynamic lift. This is an effect caused by the surface moving through the air at an excessive angle, so that the air stops flowing smoothly over the lifting surface, instead breaking down into a chaotic flow.
Stalls typically happen at low speeds, where an aircraft is pitching up excessively, but can also happen at higher speeds in steep turns or other maneuvers where the g forces on an aircraft make the wings have to support multiple times their normal load.
A midair collision with a small object is unlikely to cause a stall, unless it were to provoke a secondary reaction by the pilot or the control surfaces directly.
Either way, in this case the aircraft in question had the bomber in a blind spot and probably could not see the danger of collision, and in fact may have been frantically looking for it, even lowering the nose to get better visibility, having lost sight of it in a slightly distracted moment.
AFAIK there is no evidence of any condition here aside from inadequate planning, inadequate separation, and pilot error.
As a pilot I am only too aware of the possibility for this kind of accident to occur when operating in the vicinity of other aircraft. It’s surprisingly easy to collide with other aircraft despite the huge amount of empty space lol around you.
It usually takes a few confounding factors to line up to cause disasters to occur in aviation… it’s almost never just one or two.

Something that many people do not understand is that an aircraft “stall” has nothing to do with the engine or propeller except possibly as a contributing factor. A stall in aircraft parlance refers to a change in airflow over the wings or control surfaces that causes the sudden or progressive loss of aerodynamic lift. This is an effect caused by the surface moving through the air at an excessive angle, so that the ai…
Beware that it will count as flight instruction and you may end up hooked and forking out $20k for a private pilot license.
