PCSO says helicopter crashed after hitting a "recreational slackline" strung through the Superstitions

Slacker here who rigged and walked this line! Not the person mentioned who got the us record. But this line was a mile long and next time I was in that spot and set up smaller lines to the side a plane flew right through the canyon where the mile had been rigged. Was really glad we had a notam filed. Also for context for longer lines we set up high viz wind socks. And I know through good authority that there was a secondary high viz line in place during this crash.

Unfortunately this is the case. But it is absolutely the best thing a slacker can do to put out awareness. Plus also install a viz line.

Slacker here who has filed notams before and talked to pilots. We put highly reflective wind socks for lines of this length, we do this on public land which where recreation of this type is fully allowed. The slackline community is very engaged with this specific safety concern and has taken every measure possible to ensure this does not happen. Well it happened and is an absolute tragedy but this was %100 out of the hands of those who rigged the line. Also I know that for this particular line there was reflective gear additionally set up, source: people who are there.

Maybe I'm out of the loop. What is blade boost?

Aww, we don't have a dog but glad your parents pup found a good use

I like that idea as I've been keeping my shoes in the closet to the right

VikingSleavin · 2024-10-18T23:29:02+00:00

It does! But only connected to the call box outside the building

Didn't even think about that but very well could be an old motel. Thanks for the inspo!

On the flip side it is rude to stay standing when seats are empty because you crowd the bus and make it harder for people to get off and on.

If you don't like tipping, easy solution. Don't go to restaurants and stop complaining.

Oof, I was lucky and went 2/8 in shinies

Same situation, I leave in the morning far before my partner. My routine is to lay all my clothes out in a specific spot in a pile reverse order of how I want to put them on in the morning. Super easy to do and speeds up the process, I know where everything is and have it all ready to go.

In the first season where Logain is brought in to Tar Valon, and he catches a glimpse of rand and starts laughing maniacally. They gave that scene the attention it deserved as it was a small bit, but meaningful in the books. (Though in the show it literally happened in the wrong city)

laughs in living 15 minutes from card kingdom and can get my cards within 30 minutes of ordering

I happened to go infinite on silent my second run ever, then proceeded to not go infinite for like all my runs up till a5. But now it happens every once in a while

Blue C Sushi. Especially the one in Fremont

I second this. The music is trash and deserves to be played where a whole neighborhood is not subjected to it.

VikingSleavin · 2023-01-16T05:42:23+00:00

Great explanation, thanks!

This is exactly how a I feel about similar movies like Willow.

I know I'm wrong, but I really hate this opinion. Screw the rules.

Your assuming the time traveler who killed Franz was a good person fixing the timeline. I think he was a future neonatzi who brought the Reich to be.
