*Practical because velocity is usually relative to other stuff.
To someone standing outside the car, it'd be 60km/hr.
In this case? If you were the drone pilot, you could set velocity to zero, and only activate vertical thrust.
*According to my understanding.

Assuming the car's velocity doesn't change...
The drone's (practical) velocity = 0km/hr, plus a vertical thrust to counteract gravity.
At 60km/hr, the drone would fly into the windshield.
It's the same reason you can throw a ball up and down in a moving car just fine.

I don't enjoy the bullying of Chet, and part of me is glad he's trying his best not to breathe life into this phantom beef, and setting himself up to be a crutch that the opposition uses to fuel their motion.
Dude just wants to hoop!
A lot of attention is paid to craft traditions in Western Europe and North America, such as handsewn Hermes leather goods and bespoke Savile Row suits. But the uneven focus leads some to believe that things made outside of these places are low quality.
This is not true. 🧵
Nigeria is being disrespected by the government of South Africa, and it's beyond me why we're taking this nonsense lying down.
There should already be serious dialogue happening with credible threats of proportional retaliation to follow.
Luce is, in fact, pure Ferrari.
i don't like it, but it's in line with Enzo's relentless pursuit of engineering defining the form.
this was a car designed to solve for one thing well; drag.
here's hoping v2 feels more heritage, and props to Jony Ive for a sick interior >>>
Bradley Cooper used to be really cool and did movies like Hangover and Silver Linings Playbook. But then he went through a phase where he got obsessed with Oscars and spent six years learning to conduct for one scene… only to lose to Cillian Murphy
people used to spend time in their verandahs and connect more with the compound. the outside was part of the home.
now, our design language is biased for inside, white box living. we don't look outdoors anymore, and maybe that's part of why it's so easy to cut windows out.
“Piracy is stealing” has no bearing on capitalism. That is just a fact. You are taking something that’s not yours. We can acknowledge the nuance of people not being able to afford books and even accessibility for willing buyers, but it still stealing.
You are right that the conversation to be had is about how we can make more classics accessible and we should, but people taking matters into their hands and arrogantly distributing other people’s hard work should not be celebrated. If you want that for yourself as an author, you can do that, but many authors do not.
We speak of most of our greats(writer of the classics) living in abject poverty and their families having little, but encourage systems (piracy) that keep them there.
