I would argue that the deployment orders for the 2003 Iraq war were illegal, but the people who refused to follow them are the ones who got in trouble.

I really hope you’re right

I used helicopters a lot when I was on mountain rescue.

I never saw an air sick bag

It will always be a matter of “for how long?”. Location from integrated acceleration is what we call a stiff problem. Meaning that any error is compounded as you continue to integrate (slight over simplification, but good enough for the point). There will never be a sensor that has zero error, so it’s just a question of how much integration you can do before the errors make the results unusable.

Do you have a recommendation for a good cheap android phone (didn’t worry, I’ll run a rom) that one could get to have a “clean” phone?

I’ve been thinking about getting a phone that has none of my socials on it for when I go to Canada to get vaccines

Without GPS or tower based error correction any location prediction based on conservation of momentum in the phone will be useless before very long if the phone is moving.

Yup… I plan on starting to pay attention to the recommendations of canadian and UK officials now when it comes to public health and vaccination recommendations.

I’m about 2 hours by car from the canadian border and intend to vaccinate by medical tourism if needed.

I live in Maine. Riding a motorcycle in the winter is not only highly unpleasant, it’s borderline suicidal.

I’m all for 2 wheeled transport where it works, but anywhere that gets snow for months out of each year it’s a non starter as a primary transportation mode
