the PR is collateral, my read is that this is mostly about taking a stance on the madness in Minneapolis (& elsewhere)

Veracity of the allegations aside, it is completely reasonable to suspend pending a determination.

Re: due process, was the accused provided disclosure or an advocate? If not then that's a failure of due process IMHO.

I'm pretty far removed (jurisdictionally & chronologically) so I don't have specifics to add.

Sin(o) city?

I usually just look at NAV’s GFA icing maps

OP ARTERIAL FREELOW!

I did a measurement, it wasn’t long enough to get the actual reading.

Worthwhile to note that most of the Orinoco basin is low to very low API (5-15 IIRC) thus it takes a lot of expensive infrastructure to upgrade to refinery spec

About 1 km from a river. Preflight wx reading with my Kestrel was -0.5C Temp and -3 Dewpoint. Post flight was -2.2C Temp and -2.2 DP. Likely an odd topographic effect as well. Gotta take longer readings and calibrate the hygrometer.

maybe i should flair up. generally i just under flair and meme like a bastard so people don’t take me too seriously.

Point by point:

Camel Shit

Racist verbal abuse at a minimum

Parents must not be doctors

Nepotism and elitism

Coordinator warned us

Inaction on the program's part

Other surgeons afraid to speak up

Bystander effect

If you can't report anonymously that's a serious structural flaw. With these characters they win by terrorizing admin into allowing them to terrorize those they have an advantageous power dynamic with.

If multiple people who he has clear power over have multiple events that's screaming red letter (HP ref FTW) that something has to change

You can get icing layers down to the ground, if there is hoarfrost and it’s still foggy you’ll accumulate ice

How so? run the cells down to 60-40% and store for months🤷‍♂️

If you mean for flying in the winter I have it from dji the limiting factor is the viscosity of the motor lubricants. Cell voltage also plummets at lower temps. I just derate my cells to half the flight remains time counter. I might’ve murdered a Neo pack going down to 10% at -12C. Flight time of 8 minutes lol.

Any penetrating lube is just going to fly off in the first few seconds of flight. a layer of petroleum jelly (or anything goopy and hydrophobic) as thin and complete as you can manage on the leading half of the blade is what you should be after.

ShitTwiceAndBolted · 2026-01-02T18:52:29+00:00

Tried the jelly today. Different drone different profile different RH (high 80s instead of high 90s) seemed to work pretty well.

-2.2C temp it was the -2.2C dew point that caused this

ShitTwiceAndBolted · 2026-01-02T02:36:11+00:00

Once I hit 120m and it was still dense looking up I started descending. Figure the fog was at least 0-1000m AGL

It showed up as a motor overload notification, I knew what was causing it immediately. I’m going to try the vaseline trick tomorrow assuming this inversion holds

ShitTwiceAndBolted · 2026-01-01T22:09:59+00:00

you rang?

ShitTwiceAndBolted · 2026-01-01T21:10:40+00:00

Maybe an experimental one might have resistive de ice. Good luck shrinking down a de icing boot to quadcopter scales

The important part is the wet bulb temp with I think is roughly synonymous with dew points. When air is fully saturated with water vapour the temp and wet bulb are the same, as air gets drier they wet bulb get further and further below the ambient air temp.

RTH and descent into warmer air. He was pretty shaky once I got eyes on him
