@nepfag@avia And also handle trim runaway because it's literally a PPL instruction item. I learned how to handle trim runaway on my, like, third flight ever. Just keep a good hand on the flight controls to prevent uncommanded movements (use your fucking muscles), pop the electric trim circuit breaker, and do your best. On mechanically simpler planes like Cessna 172s (the most produced aircraft in history) you can completely counteract full trim runaway purely by force on the flight controls. I remember one instructor even jamming the trim wheel to fully deflected position during unusual attitude recovery training to see how I'd handle it. Super easy.
The problem is when you have a computer programmed by overworked underpaid imported retards that's counteracting your every move. Don't trust computers with your life.

These days I'm alternating between sheer and utter disbelief at the state of the media and the left, and a sort of exhausted apathy at what's becoming of the world.
The question "People can't seriously be stupid enough to believe the shit they're being told by the media" is almost always "Not only are they that stupid but they think they're smarter for believing it."

The narrative about the protests vis-a-vis the chinkflu seems to have solidified. It seems to be "It's worth protesting since masks are 100% effective when worn by leftists, and if they aren't, then it's still worth potentially killing tens of thousands of people by a pandemic we kvetched about for months in order to protest the death of a methhead who previously held a pregnant woman at gunpoint after breaking into her house and now found himself subdued by a cop whilst on a lethal dose of fentanyl, but if anyone asks we're really protesting that maybe a thousand people killed by cops every year at the most"
As someone said a day ago, leftists would have no standards at all if they didn't constantly hold double standards.
May 25 >We're still in the midst of the pandemic, it's too early to open things up >No we don't care if you're going bankrupt and your job may not even exist, we need to stay in shutdown for more than a month >After all we just spent the last 3 months shutting down the global economy, this is serious >No, masks don't really help much, they only reduce possibility of transmission but aren't 100% effective >Even if you're young, the point is to not spread it to older people. Why do you hate grannies? >You need to social distance! Stop going outside, make sure you're 6+ feet away from others! >Don't even try to protest, you covidiots! What are you even protesting, the right to get a haircut? >Haha look at these gun nuts bringing guns to a protest, you can't do anything to the military!
June 6 >Well, the pandemic is petering out, so chances of transmission are low now! >Well, the people at the protests are young, so the chances of them dying are low. Huh? What do old people have to do with this? >Well, the protesters are wearing masks, so it's okay that they're packed shoulder-to-shoulder in the thousands. Masks are 100% effective in stopping transmission. >What are we protesting? The death of a methhead freaking out while on fentanyl to boot. Ignore his criminal record where he spent 5 stints in jail including one from that time he did a break-and-enter, held up the woman living there at gunpoint, and stole her shit. >By the way if right-wing gun nuts don't show up at these protests to defend us against the military with their guns, then they never cared about the 2A at all. >What do you mean we voted away the right to own or carry guns in cities?

>leftists start rioting and getting rightfully put down by the military >they have no way to fight back aside from makeshift weapons >they can't even make a show of force since they banned the very guns that would protect them

Things people protesting against lockdown are actually protesting against: >Being forced to close their businesses long enough for the business to go bankrupt >Being forced to stay at home with no income and no way of generating income since their job isn't useless enough to do from home >Being forced to beg for welfare money from the government in order to support themselves for an indefinite period of time >Being forced to undergo lockdown when their region saw a scant handful of cases, just because some nightmare bugman city got hit hard >The government at all levels taking this time to increase their powers when they know it'd never fly during normal times
Things people protesting against lockdown are presented as protesting against: >Not being able to get haircuts >Not being able to go bowling >Not being able to murder nurses and doctors wholesale with 45-caliber semiautomatic machine gun assault rifles
@ArdanianRight@cowanon@gladicouldnthelp The only reason that the Japanese committed atrocities at all is because everyone was doing it back then and people didn't shy away from brutal wars. It's only until the 50s that Western culture in general has treated wars as anything other than horrific nightmarish bloodbaths that destroyed the land, injured people in more ways than the merely physical, and permanently scarred entire nations.
They did it anyways because their only previous examples of how foreign nations treated each other was during the centuries of scorn and hatred by the Chinese empires, the two full Mongolian invasions repelled by natural disasters of such a fortuitous magnitude that it was nearly impossible to think it wasn't divine intervention, the two or three brutal wars to conquer Korea that failed, the constant insidious and greedy influence by foreign Westerners with vastly superior technology, the sudden reappearance of them in your own little world after said foreigners so utterly curbstomped the regional superpower so hard that they essentially became economic slaves, undergoing a civil war based entirely around just how quickly the nation has to modernize to not get assfucked by these foreigners, followed by 30 desperate years of social and economic revolution while said foreigners turn their attention away from you just long enough to wage such brutal wars of conquest upon a continent they barely care about, only to get your nearest European neighbor to send their entire fleet against you. You win somehow, with supposedly inferior technology, and you even win a global war just by choosing the right alliances and making enough gestures. Then you spend 20 years trying to consolidate your own little sphere of influence while a nation 8000km away thinks you're treading on their toes and begins to economically choke you hard enough that your only options are to become a slave like China or try to attack them so quickly and viciously that they sign some sort of will-back-off-for-a-few-years treaty. They choose neither and after 4 years of waging the most brutal war known to mankind they kill 200,000 of your civilians in a way more horrific and violent than anything else in human history.
You should be glad the Japanese are just happy with hating their neighbors in a constant but mostly nonviolent way. We've never given them any reason to do anything else.
>SARS-CoV-2 doesn't just bind to ACE2, but it also binds to CD147/Basigin which is prevalent in T-cells >in order to successfully infect a cell, not only does it need to bind to those proteins, but it needs to be protein-cleaved at a rough area in the spike protein >furin and plasmin seem to do this predominantly, which explains why elevated furin and plasmin levels seem to give so many worse outcomes >Furin requires a 4-base amino sequence to actually cleave anything - RxxR where x is any other amino acid, and RxRR and RRxR give significantly increased cleavage efficiency
Now here's the fun part. >One of the landmark articles, cited by the media, and published in Nature by the name The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2 >the abstract specifically concludes that there is no evidence to support the notion that the virus was human-modified or lab-made >the article then goes on to specifically note a polybasic cleavage site in the S2 subunit >its structure: PRRA-R where PRRA is a completely new genetic insertion and the last R already existed in closely-related viruses >however, none of the closely related viruses, like the pangolin strain that's supposed to be more than 99% similar, have these four bases in this location - in fact it's a completely new genetic addition >none of the closely-related coronaviruses have this sequence either >you have to go over to the HKU5 strain of batcoronaviruses to find a RxxR cleavage site anywhere in the S2 subunit, and it's only about 36% similar to CoV-2 and very distantly related >the Nature article even comments on this - commenting that it's well-known that this polybasic cleavage sequence increases infectivity in coronaviruses - like MERS >yet their conclusion is that a sudden addition of 4 entire amino acids into a sequence of exactly the right type and exactly the right place to increase transmissivity in a virus whose closest relatives have nothing close to a cleavage site isn't suspicious at all and shows no sign of being man-made
>even though the main reason anyone knows about RxxR cleavage in coronaviruses are from manmade additions of exactly this type >even though back in 2006 US scientists added a RRSRR cleavage site into SARS to test out the hypothesis >and in 2008 Japanese scientists inserted RRAR into a SARS strain >and so did the Dutch in 2008 >and so did US scientists in 2009 >and so did the Chinese across the 2010s, including one paper published in October 2019 about inserting RxxR into chicken coronavirus and performing live chicken tests
It's a constant torrent of twisting any story around making Trump look bad and it seems that normalfaggots are buying into it.
For example, one of the recent trends these past two weeks has involved just about every country receiving defective masks and tests from China. Off the top of my head, I remember countries like Singapore, the UK, Italy, Germany, Norway, and Canada receiving faulty shit from China. The response is always the same: >China is sending defective goods >Why don't we make those goods ourselves? >The blame is on China, those poor poor medical workers aren't getting proper PPE! >Why are we relying on China?
But when it comes to exactly the same stories in the US, it's always: >Trump let this happen, he didn't act early enough! >How could Trump buy defective masks instead of encouraging local businesses? >The blame falls solely on Trump, he hates medical workers! >Trump 100% killed and eviscerated the pandemic response department because he hates Obama and thus hates black people!
I've legitimately seen every single one of those reactions from normalfags on social media sites across the internet the past two weeks. I'd ask "who could honestly fall for these blatant media lies" but apparently the answer is "just about everyone somehow."
@awg@deadheat@roka >countries are more concerned with not appearing racist or discriminatory, and suggesting that the borders should be closed is politically impossible >China-funded WHO keeps saying that the virus is no big deal, can't be transmitted between humans, won't cause a pandemic, isn't really deadly at all, etc, etc, etc >China keeps lying about the numbers nonstop, keeps saying that it's only a minor outbreak like with SARS or MERS or Swine Flu or any of the other epidemics that have fizzled out in China for the last two decades >China keeps lying and lying and lying and lying so countries just assume that the chance it'll spread outside of China is quite low >countries unwilling to enforce any quarantine orders or prevent free-flowing internal or external movement >countries unwilling to take any measures in case they accidentally the economy
>nobody wants to overreact in case it really is a nothingburger, since they'll just press the suicide button for no reason >nobody wants to underreact either in case it's Black Death II >nobody really wants to do anything or be the first to take measures
So take all of these factors together, and you'll notice two things: 1. Most Western countries didn't react or institute lockdowns until after March 10, since the global stock markets an heroed on the 9th, and Italy went into full lockdown on the 8th. Suddenly, worrying about the economy (which was already ded) or being first (thanks, Italy) seemed silly. That was still too late, though, since the crucial February-Early March period was the real time to act.
2. Countries that actively distrust China, don't have to worry about appearing racist or discriminatory, and already have a societal and legalistic framework to enforce quarantines tended to do much better. Taiwan and South Korea did great since they have a history of hating China. Japan did well since you have Japanese politicians actively shitting on China. Vietnam kicked China's ass in a war like 30 years ago, have a history of dealing with shitty tropical epidemics, and they're doing great.
tl;dr The secret is to not trust China, also if you're racist as fuck then you'll be okay.
@ArdanianRight The idea that nothing is true unless men with funny hats and fancy papers on the wall release peer-reviewed articles with randomized controlled trials along 5-year timescales say so has already killed hundreds of thousands and deceived hundreds of millions.
Science is a cheap whore sold to the highest bidder run by intelligent people that have no comprehension of morality or really anything outside of their specialization.
