That picture is from combat in Syria in 2017. That’s still accurate to today. They still drop bombs like that, they aren’t all glide bombs.

Nothing you send out to the internet can be deleted.

I build ratio on private trackers by getting as much freeleech stuff as I can, even though I might not be into it. Timing is key also, I’ll snatch anything I think will blow up. If you get in early you can get lots of upload. This worked great to get my initial ratio built up on what.cd and redacted.

Ah, I stick to torrenting. Pirate stream websites have always seemed sketchy to me.

I’ve been pirating for years and never encountered an ad beyond subtitle ads. Is this anime specific or something?

Buddhism is absolutely not “a doctrine for being happy now”. This statement makes it sound like you don’t even have a cursory understanding of Buddhism. Likewise with “nothing really matters for a Buddhist in the big picture sense”.

I disagree with your prognosis. The earth has been hit by massive meteors, or huge volcanoes erupted - plenty of species survived. Your ancestors, in fact. There’s radiotrophic fungus growing in the Chernobyl reactor. The earth will be fine, as will many of the lower species.

We’re fucked if we don’t change our ways, though.

Yes, but slower and less range than fixed wing. Likewise, it can’t do rotary wing things as good as a helicopter. It’s truly a “master of none” aircraft. It’s not great at anything.

Putting it in a rescue role is a terrible idea. You do not want a finicky to fly, unreliable aircraft in that scenario.

Well, they’re not fast (prop too big) nor are they particularly great at hovering (rotor too small).

It’s the worst of both worlds.

I repeat - tiny heavily loaded rotors are the wrong tool for the job thus making it a bad design

It’s because it’s a heavy rotorcraft. Not poor design, just rotorcraft physics.

Like I said, poor design. Wrong tool for the job.

It can’t travel slow enough for blackhawks nor fast enough for fixed wing. The V-22 is an absolute turd.

I’m not saying “do nothing”. I’m saying efforts are better spent elsewhere as they’ll have much more dramatic effect.

Air travel should be addressed after massive emitters like industrial sources. Otherwise we’re going to greatly disrupt the lives of normal people trying to see their grandma for very little benefit.

Pilot error is rarely the actual cause, but is a convenient scapegoat. I worked in rotary accident investigation in the Army and that’s not something you’ll read in a report. There’s other issues; why is this aircraft in particular so prone to pilot error? Perhaps it’s poorly designed?

Considering aviation is 2.5% of global CO2 emissions, you could get rid of all the aviation emissions and still be very far off from saving anything.
