Pegatron sounds like it’d be the sex worker Transformer

I saw your deleted reply; no I don’t think it’s appropriate, see my comment.

First off: there is no federal age of consent law. You weren’t “going off” anything.

What you said is factually untrue. You’d see that with a quick search. That’s all I’m saying.

No, I don’t think it’s appropriate. It is, however fucked up, still legal.

My first PC build was a K6-2, overclocked with jumpers from 300 to 400 MHz. Setting Vcore with jumpers made for a very exciting first power on!

These days it’s hard to destroy a processor by overclocking, and it seems like it’s on its last legs. My 3090 and 5800X3D have no headroom, it’s the first non overclocked rig I’ve had since 2001.

How did windows 95 keep you from gaming? That’s when I started. 98 wasn’t that big of a chance to my memory.

Thanks! I’ll take a look this evening.

This is straight up incorrect. 17 is the age of consent in New York, and many other states are 16. A minority of states have 18 as the age of consent.

I agree it’s fucked up for an adult and a teen to be together, but this is a law we’re talking about.

I see a few claims of spyware in here. Not that I doubt you, but where can I find out more?

What do you think about jet injectors?

a narrow, high-pressure stream of liquid penetrates the outermost layer of the skin to deliver medication to targeted underlying tissues

What you get is both downsides rather than both advantages. It can’t fly fast enough for fixed wing, nor can it fly slow enough for rotary, meaning it can’t effectively be escorted. It doesn’t have the range or speed of fixed wing, nor can’t it hover as well as a helicopter. It requires special logistical channels. It’s finicky to fly and high maintenance. Because the rotors are so heavily loaded it creates significant rotor wash and it’s especially susceptible to vortex ring state. It can’t glide like fixed wing and can’t autorotate like rotary for a power loss in flight.

It’s garbage. The idea of using these for rescue or VIP transport is laughable.

Fiber optics aren’t wires, though.

Guinness records and IQ tests - both seem unreliable to me

Yes, but slower and less range than fixed wing. Likewise, it can’t do rotary wing things as good as a helicopter. It’s truly a “master of none” aircraft. It’s not great at anything.

Putting it in a rescue role is a terrible idea. You do not want a finicky to fly, unreliable aircraft in that scenario.

Well, they’re not fast (prop too big) nor are they particularly great at hovering (rotor too small).

It’s the worst of both worlds.

I repeat - tiny heavily loaded rotors are the wrong tool for the job thus making it a bad design

It's because it's a heavy rotorcraft. Not poor design, just rotorcraft physics.

Like I said, poor design. Wrong tool for the job.

It can’t travel slow enough for blackhawks nor fast enough for fixed wing. The V-22 is an absolute turd.

I’m not saying “do nothing”. I’m saying efforts are better spent elsewhere as they’ll have much more dramatic effect.

Air travel should be addressed after massive emitters like industrial sources. Otherwise we’re going to greatly disrupt the lives of normal people trying to see their grandma for very little benefit.

Pilot error is rarely the actual cause, but is a convenient scapegoat. I worked in rotary accident investigation in the Army and that’s not something you’ll read in a report. There’s other issues; why is this aircraft in particular so prone to pilot error? Perhaps it’s poorly designed?
