Having a clearance sounds cool until you find out that 99 times out of 100, the only reason people need clearance is so they can know what the output pressure set points of some very specific pump or how many holes are in the colander basket of an A4W nuclear reactor pressurizer vessel. It gets even less cool once you find out that literally anyone in could find that info out just by reading spec sheets of commercially available components.
Looks like an old boiler stack. Without a cover on that hole, it's no longer active. If that building is concrete, then it probably used to be a boilerhouse.
I'd like to imagine that whether it's parody or not, it's an effective cultural firewall against Laptop Americans deciding that moving to small towns is a viable effective exit strategy from big city spinsterdom.
Nah, the Mosquito is a single seater. Kit without the turbine is $60k, $77k factory finished. It's basically a shifter kart in helicopter form. https://composite-fx.com/models/xet/
T62 T32 is (was?) also used as the APU on the AH64, the Erickson SkyCrane, and a few other aux power hungry helis. Pretty popular unit; even ones with thousands of hours still fetch a premium
I've been chatting with a dude who runs a couple accounts on Twitter, one with over 1 mil followers. He was saying that the guys on youtube have been steadily seeing a decline in impressions and income while short form creators on X are getting the similar drops in impressions but their engagement is up and payouts are up overall for similar metrics. YouTube looking to have hit the limit on their growth and the people publishing to the platform have really been noticing.
Reminds me of the article I read some time around 2006 or so when city PDs were getting all that patriot act money to buy all kinds of stupid shit, and some small town police department bought a bunch of solid silver bullets "just in case".
The target consumer of these products were the guys buying everything "zombie defense" 10 years ago, and are all currently saving their pennies to buy a bridge I'd like to sell them.
