As long as the eagle continues with its wings folded, that guy won't scare anyone.

The physics problem of my teacher are… interesting

I’m more concerned if the aircraft still hasn’t crashed with that low speed-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helio_Courier

With a minimum-control speed of around 28 mph, the Courier is perfectly suited for confined off-airport operations.

World War One aircraft would struggle to reach 200 km/h.
During a 2014 airshow at Duxford I watched a gaggle of WW1 fighters making slow progres against a strongish headwind.

The answer is 337 degrees on a 360 degrees compass rose, nearly north by north west. Arctan is your friend.

And it would be correct, if it they didnt put an image of a 747 next to it…

I have PTSD hearing those words. I have to babysit 4 of my little cousins and it’s not fun at all.

 

[overscan (PaulMM)]

I'm questioning the purpose of this topic on the forum? Just "jokes" which don't seem very funny, shared by a small pool of users?

Maybe I'm getting old, but off-topic posts should be a sometimes thing, not a primary focus.

[Apophenia]

Please don't say the word "gooning" to the younger generations to avoid a huge misunderstanding

I'm curious as to why an ephemeral, generation-specific slang meaning places a usage burden on those who know the dictionary definition of that word?

 

[TMD]

Why the dual nature of photons ended up that way....

I suppose having heavily off topic and meme-y stuff pool together here should keep serious threads cleaner, to a degree.

Or save them for other forums altogether...

At my day and age, I honestly just don't have the time or the patience for really slow *anything*, sorry (not sorry)...

And you *really* wonder why that question put you in a padded cell?

So, what IS the actual *intellectual* argument here??? All I see is some random Russian (and we all sure know how reliable *their* accounts are) folk tale - an inquiring *Western* European mind wants to know...

An artisan axe vs. half a kilometer distance - hmmm...

Gotta get them while they're young and impressionable...

Because of the general breakdown/lack of respect of societal rules?

Bandwidth/storage waste still really is a thing, you know.

That's just so typical for those EE nerds...

I know it's stupid but it genuinely made me laugh outloud...

 

[TsrJoe]

I don't get it ?

 

[PotatoDeltaWing]

Me neither, honestly

 

[John Miller]

I don't get it ?

I'm not entirely sure, but it feels like those Instagram memes where some random part of the picture is circled in red — either to distract you from what’s really going on or to make you look for something that isn’t even there.
I thought, maybe it’s because the guy’s flipping the bird?
But yeah, I agree — there’s something puzzling about this...

 

[CiTrus90]

"Beauty is here" + eye circled in red + the dude is holding bees...

See where we are going with it?

Spoiler

"Beauty is in the eye of the bee-holder"...

Ahhhhh ... for fucks sake we have now descended to the level of a young kids comic
