@TXJFaulk Newspaper on the wooden stick!! Think people know how to read a box score today?

@eastonwolfe @NotJackKemp Absolutely @NotJackKemp $2.99 per gallon everyday. Plus it has A2 so it’s easier on the belly. Look it up!

@tjhendrix89 Would love to see footage of @tjhendrix89 attempting to block him at practice.

Watch this and watch how silly he makes o-lineman look. Quick as a cat!

@procfather You think Dan Hicks, Sandsy, Fax and soft talking Bones are any better? About to pay for Sky coverage for the weekend.

@TXJFaulk Very disappointed in the snubbing. Crushed my soul.
I encounter the same pit bull. He ran at me last week and I landed a crane kick. It was glancing but got his attention
Someone wasn’t using the 1 AirPod method last week. He was in light clothing though. Not the same for me

@eastonwolfe This was magical back in the day. Nothing like throwing a ball to the batter at 88 mph and having it come back at you at 108mph

@TXJFaulk @eastonwolfe -12G using battery power is the most disappointing thing I’ll hear all day.

I just heard your podcast call-in with your son it was? Glad you’re still here to talk about it. It’s interesting seeing some of the comments here and people will say something like, “I’d never do that and take a helicopter tour over Hawaii” but they have a better chance getting t-boned by a semi on their way to 7-11 than they do experiencing a aviation accident.

Absolutely wild footage, this is a real world engine failure in a MD500 (Think Magnum P.I. helicopter) over Kauai, Hawaii out on a tour flight.
You’ll probably have to watch this a few times but the video starts out with the helicopter under power and then the engine sound goes silent. The beeping you hear is the engine-out audio beep to inform the pilot that engine power has been lost.
This maneuver that pilot is doing is called a Autorotation and the way to think about helicopter flight, the engine is turning this big fan (rotor blades) on top of the body and sucking in air from the top and projecting it downward to overcome the force of gravity.
When engine power is lost, you experience a reverse in airflow because now gravity takes over and the air flow is coming from the bottom of the main rotor disk. The only thing the pilot can really do is to make sure the rotors keep spinning by changing the pitch of the rotor blades through the use of the “collective” which is a lever next to the pilot’s left leg and it only moves up and down.
The pilot has to manipulate the collective during an auto rotation to make sure the blades keep spinning. If the pilot pulls up too much on the collective, the rotor blades will bite too much of air causing a resistance and slow the rotors down. If the pilot doesn’t pull enough collective.. the blades will speed up and potentially cause a catastrophic failure.
The other control the pilot has is called the cyclic. This cyclic sits between the pilots legs and and manipulates individual pitch of the rotor blades to tilt the rotor disk aka “big fan” and make the helicopter go forward, backwards, left, right. So essentially in this type of emergency, you have to manipulate the controls in a delicate balance because no matter what, gravity is taking you to the ground because the engine is no longer producing power.
The pilot did an outstanding job here given the geography and limited amount of flat terrain to put the helicopter on the ground.
Thankfully it sounds like no souls were lost and only one injury according to a news report (see the link below)👇 Of course there is a lot more to helicopter aerodynamics but I’m trying my best to put this in simpler to digest terms. Big thanks to @Combat_learjet for sharing and definitely worth a follow!

@tjhendrix89 @Strangemike44 @danielfleser Reason you were thinking that @tjhendrix89 is because you misread your calendar and thought this was the 3rd Saturday in October.

@Strangemike44 @danielfleser I was right there doing the same thing on my couch Mike. Shame, shame, shame to both of us!
English

I sat on the couch for much of the last 30 minutes of the game pointing out to @danielfleser why Tennessee wasn’t going to beat Alabama. Oh, me of little faith. Helluva team win. Everyone contributed.
