    a) "airplane"? Looks suspiciously like a helicopter (CH-47?) to me... b) "dropping"? More like thrown, which unfortunately means we only have a lower bound on the flight altitude (3s ~= 50m) c) "One must imagine Sisyphus with a heavy lift helo." —not AC Was Sisyphus' punishment an order or a command? If the former, I suppose an advantage to doing so for eternity is that ever since the industrial revolution S could've set up some sort of cogwheel system to do the boulder raising for him. Zeus: Hey, Hades, where'd Sisyphus go? Hades: Off on Krk — he said he was going to try trading vowels for some of their tomatoes; ought to be back by September though! Hades: In any case, if you want to see his Mark LXII boulder-roller, it's over there on the hill. He's got some crazy arb scheme that rolls the boulder uphill at evening electricity pricing, then lowers it back during the ENTSO-E lunch peak.

      Keep them Sisyphus(/Prometheus?) stories simple & uninspirational lest the degenerates get some unearned meaning from them! a)-b) there was a spate of TikTok fanmade USMC recruitment ads, this was most likely USMC Osprey somewhere over the Pacific, properly labelled yt arb shorts gone now, flagged due to recent fatal accident? You can check FF comments for recent random farmboy enthusiasms >Investigators later found the fail message occurred because the detector "had so many chips on it, it couldn't keep up," Conley said.

        good call! the strut length and rectangular widget clearly vote for your interpretation...

[which I guess means the answer to "airplane?" is really »jein«, and "tiltrotor aircraft" would be the pedantic sol'n] (annoyingly shorts don't seem to use `.` and `,` for frame advance; do they have something else instead?) > "had so many chips on it, it couldn't keep up," "I think mauve has the most RAM" —PHB

        Haha makes me think what would be the equiv in English. (And thanks for the pics!) My mention of Camus is not a endorsement of his ideas, more in comparison of his character(/effectiveness wrt various psychological archetypes) vs Sartre . You might also try to formalize (and understand how formalization can fail): Ein Teil von jener Kraft, die stets das Böse will und stets das Gute schafft (Which makes vinnyvichy (the character!!) aspire, in terms of nominative determinism, to work to be Cap's counterpart XD) (I posit that Cap is Stan Lee's fave son, rei publicae*) I have a better, but not yet complete of course grip on my firmware, (more contrapositives to "the road to hell is paved..") See the jseliger's goodbye, I am fairly certain that HN has too many well-intentioned bullies * Loki for Revisionistas, this is why my effort to uncover the Finnic-baltic-ugric (?) origins of proto-Prometheus **Goethe remains to be Repsilonvisioned, eg s/evil/naughtiness/ ala Cantor
