Three giant piles of shit are fighting. Great day for the dung beatles.

Lol I just like the music ¯⁠\⁠_⁠ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I think I can do 17 seconds (Given Up - Linkin Park), so that should be within the time limit

I can do metal screams pretty damn well, and have been practicing for 15 years. My car is really the only one that has ever really heard though 😅

The app kicks you in the balls every time you scroll past a post without reading it.

With the way they’re acting, you’d think that these dudes wanted Republicans to maintain control. Like, I don’t have a lot of faith in democrats to actually get the shit done that they need to, but the defeatism is absolutely absurd.

Ooo that looks like it’ll be a good wikipedia article to read. Thanks for the info, sorry someone else downvoted you.

Is it? It’s melting via freezing point depression rather than heating, which I thought made it a chemical process rather than a physical one.

Anti icing equipment built into the plane. That’s accomplished via a few different methods. An important distinction is that deicing is removing ice that has already formed, where as anti-ice prevents new ice formation. Most deicing options are only able on the ground, so it’s important to have anti ice up and running before major accumulations occur.

1. Hot air from within the engine (bleed air) is piped to areas needing heat. This is used a lot for wing leading edges.
2. Resistive electrical heating - essentially a space heater. Used for smaller components like pitot tubes and fed by the engine’s generator.
3. Mechanical removal via deicing boot. Essentially an expandable section of wing that breaks up already formed ice. Not super common.
4. Chemical melting done via alcohol spray for windscreens or deice spray for the outer skin. Pretty straightforward.
5. Altitude change. Moving to warmer, dryer air layers can work to melt built up ice, or prevent new ice formation, respectively. Flying high can also help, since the low air pressure allows ice to sublimate.
6. Avoiding flying into icing conditions. This one seems kind of obvious, but it’s worth saying.

According to the ATC recordings, the FO reported that they were using their anti ice. Unfortunately, anti ice can only handle so much, and it seems like they may have ended up in conditions that overwhelmed their ability to prevent it. They tried to go to a higher altitude to escape the icing, but it obviously came too late. Ultimately, that’ll be for the NTSB to decide what the root causes were. Hopefully the FDR survived by some miracle.

Yeah, I listened to the entire exchange via vasaviation. Pretty rough to listen to, would not recommend.

The reason it’s at such a high pitch is that it experienced heavy icing, which killed the wings ability to generate lift. Once it started falling, it oriented itself in the direction with the least drag, forward.

They went from tolerable light icing to falling out of the sky in less than 3 minutes. Ice is very scary.

Awesome shot! I’ve never really done much with focus bracketing like the other user suggested (I really should), but I’d recommend getting a lens reverser if you enjoy macro shooting. I got one for like $15 on Amazon and thew it on my shitty kit lens and love it. It requires a lot more patience and focus to use, since you don’t get any autofocus or aperture control, but it’s a super cheap way to get some great macro shots!

Really effective at helping maintain focus, no doubt.

Half of this shit looks like it belongs on an edgy Boomer’s Facebook page

No, the post says “around 35” which can’t be true yet for someone born in 94.

Edit: never mind, thought about it twice.

around 30

Bad math. 94 was 32 years ago.

Edit: the bad math was coming from inside the house.
