Our team sailed our project into rough waters. For some reason one team member absolutely could not understand why we needed to steer the bow of our ship into the waves. Despite every educational effort she kept insisting that we needed to take the waves broadside.
Then, one day she tried to grab hold of the helm. So, I wrapped my arms around her as tight as I could, told her we'd die together, and jumped off the fucking boat.
An authoritarian, controlled economy will fail. We don't need any more examples to understand why.
Tell us you lack the courage of your convictions without telling us...
AR-15 $800-1500
Cheaper, more portable, and the prerequisite to the guillotine.
You misunderstood.
Network latency is like seek time on a HDD.
If you mount the camera below the rim of your helmet then you're going to have a really bad time.
Mount a wedge to the helmet and the camera base plate to the wedge. I'd use wood for simplicity of fabrication. Throw some paint on it.
If you don't have access to a wood shop then literally take your helmet into a big box hardware store and look around for something that'll work as is, or to a small hardware store paying a little more for assistance in figuring out a solution.
Expired VFR from above:
Think about "aviate, navigate, communicate" and add to your pilot procedure. For example, the first priority is that the pilot in command establish straight and level flight.
Also, relate that descent to things people know, such as the typical max climb and descent angles passengers experience and the maximum grade found on US interstates.
Your work is pretty good. I encourage you to pick up the textbooks used in flight school. There's lots of ways to be a pilot without actually obtaining a VFR license, such as a recreational license or MS Flight Simulator. You can even get a taste with a type of skydive called an "assisted free fall".
Halfway decent comment so adding more:
The emergency descent altitude is almost always 10,000 feet. This is because most people will be able to breath without the oxygen mask at this altitude. But, do not take off your mask.
They do not descend lower because, succinctly, what if all engine power is lost? If that happens then the pilots want enough altitude to have enough time to try and restart the engines and, failing engine restart, to extend gliding range in effort to maximize choices of where to land.
Qualifications: expired VFR license (not a commercial pilot)
In the before times we had libraries of books that'd teach a person anything they wanted to learn. If a person had a question and the book didn't answer there was someone there who didn't know the answer but damn well knew how to find it. We never had to sort through piles of garbage content produced to waste our time for profit.
Even the early Internet was this way. Its slow degradation became a nose dive with broad adoption of Facebook and AI. I had to starting writing a line of code to search. And, that doesn't even work anymore.
The species is a very old design relative other species. It's had much more time to rise through the ranks.
