    "What is its name?"

    In other news, I just said, "Alexa, fuck off" and my Echo did exactly what I wanted it to do. Technology is amazing.

    Remember Rob Ford? Infamous Toronto crack mayor? Well, his assface brother just won leadership of the provincial conservative party of Ontario. Have we fucking learned nothing?

    This man.

    We were probably the only band to cover this song, I just dug it. I loved the line "But she was in need of a little more speed." When we played it the band was called Angel City. Cool name. Then they changed it to The Angels. Not cool.

    Whatever. I don't think they ever did anything else noteworthy, but this song was a gas to play.

    Question for the stoners. What the slang term when someone torches the whole bowl at once? It’s not torching. There’s another name for it I can’t remember.

    “Milking it” or simply “torching”. That’s the only ones I can think of.

    Speaking of the weeds, now that it's legal in CA, I'm thinking I want to get one of those cool vapey pens. I've tried one once and it was awesome compared to the smell and smoke of a pipe/J. Any leads on what kind (brand?) to get? I'm about as square as square can get when it comes to this stuff

    Truthfully I can’t stand stoner culture. Those obnoxious, unwashed fucks who scream profanities at protests wearing their ridiculous outfit bought at Spencer’s Gifts..... I half blame them for it not being decriminalized earlier.

    They never got it. You want the people in power to listen to you, you have to do in on their grounds with their language. “Blaze it 420 Faggot” is not their language.

    Looks to me like it was some kind of controlled decent, correct? Like I know helicopters, when the engine goes out, they can still "crash land" by gaining speed which pushes wind through the main rotor, turning it and creating some lift.... think that is what happened here?

    I also wonder how, so far, only one person got out. Reports make it sound like the people on board drowned. Does getting turned upside down really screw with your orientation that much that it over-rides your ability to escape in a survival situation?

    WHO WOULD KEEP A DOLL LIKE THAT IN THEIR ROOM?!?!?

    GO IN THE CLOSET AND GET HER, MOM!!!!

    WHY SKELETONS IN THE POOL?!?!?

    ....this post was brought to you by things my nine year old daughter shouted at the screen tonight because she finally watched “Poltergeist” as her first horror film.

    You have to break them in the classy way.

    It's called autorotation... you basically free-wheel the rotors while it descends, keeping the speed up, and then at the last minute you reef on the collective, which causes the rotors to start generating as much lift as it can, kind of like putting on the air brakes at the last minute. That lift comes at a cost, which is the rotors slowing down, which is why you only do it at the last possible moment.

    As to upside down in water... yeah, it's a fucking bitch. When I went through aircrew training we did some "water ditching" exercises, and it involves being in a pool and having the fake cabin rotate to some degree... something like this:



    Most helicopters will rotate upside down in the water because the engine is heavy and starts off on the top, and the air-filled cabin is below it, so it normally wants to flip upside down.

    It's disorienting as hell... we were taught to just be calm, wait for the cabin-thrash to finish, and then watch the bubbles. The bubbles go up, so follow them.

    It sounds like this is a tourist sight-seeing helicopter, so yeah, not surprised if they were not only caught up in harnesses that they weren't familiar with, but also upside down and disorientated. Not a good combo.
