Best to always assume people comment in good faith.
- jacquesm 5y agoI do but this account has come to my attention a couple of times by now and I'm considering pinging a higher power. "Better to use the extinguishers as extra thrust for a wing suit." does not read like something a reasonable person would inject as a contribution to the conversation.
- lolc 5y agoUsing fire extinguishers for thrust is a joke about the futility of carrying them to extinguish a bush fire. That's how I read it anyway.
- _carbyau_ 5y agoMeh, starting from: 1. Fight forest fire. 2. thrust for wingsuit Given how useless they'd be at 1. I suspect they would be more useful at 2. Not very useful in either case however...
- stirfish 5y agoIf the options are do something useless, or do something useless that looks cool, doing the cool thing is strictly better.
- salawat 5y ago...Legally speaking, that would not be the case, as you're giving the prosecution ammo for proving premeditation. Someone who actually just had something happen to them probably would not be carrying two fire extinguishers that they suddenly had an epiphany and realized they could use as a thrust source. Our legal system is absolutely perfect for ensuring that "cool" will almost always get couched as "reckless and wanton disregard". This does however, push the calculus in favor of, "if you're going to do it, get the most out of it".
