So, apparently the stunt was a half success. I couldn’t tell from the original story whether or not they’d have parachutes (though if not, that seemed totally nuts), but apparently they did, which is why the pilot survived the failed attempt.
And really, FAA? Who are you to decide what is in the public interest, and whether or not someone should be allowed to do something even if you think it isn’t? I thought this was America.
I personally have never had the urge (partly because I’m too lazy, and partly because I tend to be claustrophobic). Keith and Carolyn Henson, founders of the L-5 Society (and before they divorced) had tunnels under their house and lot in Tucson, which was quite a feat, considering the hardness of the caliche there.
Note that this seemed to be an accident of inadvertent file naming, but FM subcarriers carry all sorts of info (like real-time traffic, weather, or alerts). Imagine the kinds of malicious things one could do with this, because the automakers haven’t bullet proofed their code. Particularly with self-driving cars and kill switches. There should be a firewall between a car’s radio and the rest of the avionics (as I think they do for aircraft entertainment systems).
White progressives can literally talk for hours about why their opinions on everything don’t matter and they’ll explain in the most esoteric of detail exactly why their perspective is unimportant and should be ignored. https://t.co/lhz2ku75Ec
