Fail Safe was an intense movie. Too bad we didn't learn the lesson that it was preaching.

There is a specific type of youtube videos: The Daily Scary

Somehow, selling fear is a flourishing business. Honestly, these kind of videos are usually quite dumb and many of the authors are just too lazy to invent anything new so half baked conspiracy theories and stale crackpottery is the norm - people can grow numb very fast, and that's just good.

That is, till you find a real classics of engineering what makes you scared



(I had to pick one from the channel which cannot be considered as advertising or harmful - if you are in need of some 'daily scary' then feel free to check some others too ).

I got a mail from a friend today about a very cool personal aircraft*:

Jetson ONE - Official Launch

Meet the Jetson ONE.
Jetson ONE is an ultralight and extremely fun to fly recreational all-electric personal vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. Test pilot: Tomasz Patan - Founder & CTO at Jetson



* Though I would prefer they put safety cages around the "blade engines" (or what they are called).
The vehicle is also pretty expensive, ca $92000. I would love to try one of these, though.

cages around the "blade engines"

to keep them from hitting vegetation would also be good.

That was great.
Among Dr. Suess books it is the most tongue-twistery.
I think the Cat in the Hat has a better reading rhythm to it.
