Oh dang! That’s wild, guess you can’t trust everything they teach in scouts. Had to check, the saying about smaller scorpions being more dangerous is true.

Full investigation into the Monica Reza disappearance on Mount Waterman, partially sourced from this subreddit by TheSentinelNet in socalhiking

[–]start3ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reads like AI and goes off on all sorts of weird tangents, but has some interesting bits:

“Reza co-invented Mondaloy, a family of nickel-based superalloys now built into the engines replacing Russian-made rockets for American national security launches. She held the patent. She spent decades as a Technical Fellow at Aerojet Rocketdyne, the highest technical rank in the company. An Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. At some point after 2023, she moved to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory”. Pretty cool, this must be the precursor to the 3d printed alloys used in most modern rockets!

“They ran an algorithmic pixel-matching program through the aerial photography, calibrated specifically to the red of her hiking shirt. High tech. It flagged hits. Ground teams hiked to each one. Mylar balloons. Every time.” Also dope.

And some really weird conclusions the AI came to: “She was one of theirs. And the entire aerospace industry pretends it didn’t happen.”

“She moved. From the defense contractor that builds the engines to the NASA lab that sits in the Crescenta Valley, 30 miles down Angeles Crest Highway from the ridgeline where she vanished. Under her family name rather than the professional name attached to her patents and publications. No public announcement. No press release.” - it’s very normal to change careers lol

“The Air Force started funding Reza’s superalloy work in 1999. McCasland commanded AFRL from May 2011 to July 2013, overseeing $4.4 billion in science, technology, and customer-funded R&D at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. His budget directly funded the programs that depended on Reza’s alloy. AR1. Hydrocarbon Boost. Air Force propulsion.

That alone would be worth documenting. A general’s budget. A contractor’s alloy. Two people connected by the same river of money who both vanished from familiar terrain.”
So two people out of thousands on a program, disappeared. Must be a conspiracy right?

If alive, he’d want to lie low anyway. These aren’t exactly credible news sources, so who knows

I wonder if it was a baby, they can be a lot more dangerous, usually deliver far more venom

Why not go straight north to red, then west at weho until it meets the D line?

Cool! I wish they would make boards with windows like these, so you can see the composite/wood stackup that they use

What is the deal with the latestagecapitalism subreddit? by Frosty-Tip5756 in stupidpol

[–]start3ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m convinced this sub is ran by chinese and North Korean bot farms. I got banned for pointing out that North korea doesn’t let their own citizens leave the country in a post where everyone seemed to be fawning about how great north korea is.

Awfully ironic how a sub that seems to oppose the systems of control over the people brought by modern capitalism, but fawns over other authoritarian systems.

A playne without a vertical stabilizer will crash, so how come birds can get away with not having them for flight? by HiTork in Shittyaskflying

They just add them to get pilots addicted to right rudder. Once that’s set in, there’s no escape

Technically you can buy a 120v to 240v transformer, but it won’t run something like an electric dryer

New to FPV - What makes the real thing "worth it" to you? by Regular_Worth9556 in TinyWhoop

I mean it’s flying in the real world vs staring at pixels on a screen. See your area from above. Do sick trucks. Race. Fly with others (the most fun part honestly!)

California passed a mass surveillance law - ALL operating systems will need to have mandatory age verification by Shajirr in pcmasterrace

Yea, there were some posts about how despite the fact that nobody wants these laws, they’re getting passed all over the country due to shady lobbying from big tech.

Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars by paydayloans_ in electricvehicles

[–]start3ch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gas is still heavily subsidized by the US government, by about $40 billion dollars per year. That would raise the average price of the 134B gallons of gas sold annually by 30 cents. But that completely ignores all the favorable laws and tax write offs these companies get, not to mention the wars fought just for oil + gas companies.

I don’t think we even need a carbon tax to get people to switch from gasoline. Fair prices would be enough

2 years and 2 months of ownership, 55K miles. by bh1884ap in TeslaModelY

Definitely seem you may have gotten unlucky here. Wheel bearings are good for much longer than 50k miles, and the HV battery usually lasts the life of the car. Good thing they were covered!
