It could be done with cyclic pitch control. Not clear from the vid if there's something going on in the rotor hubs to vary the blade pitch.

That is definitely the case.

 

 

So - um - then they were - um - "Not" lazy? They were expecting their government to protect them?

I know you said the Gov was wrong for saying they were, and I agree with you on that. But I got the impression, maybe wrongfully so, that you felt there was a measure of truth to their being lazy about not working on the power grid themselves. I've seen enough video's of people foolish enough to get too close to high voltage transmission lines and the consequences it wrought.

As I've mentioned, I lived in Houston for two years. Experienced a freeze and a snow fall. Fortunately for me it wasn't a problem. But had it been the recent cold snap that crippled power, water and gas; I'd have been screwed. And I wouldn't call myself lazy. I worked 40 to 50 hours a week and supported a family of six. And we lived paycheck to paycheck. My rent was only $595 a month for a four bedroom house with 2 car garage and a fenced yard. And every month it was a scramble to provide the necessary things. We did it. But we would have been just as frozen as the pipes if we lost power. AND we had a fireplace. Rarely had wood to burn in it; would have had to burn the furniture for sure. But "Lazy"?

You were wrong and your impression is something you want to believe despite the evidence of several statements.

 

despite the evidence of several statements

Statements are not facts. The world is flat. The mission to the moon was a hoax. There is no climate change. All statements but none are facts.

something you want to believe

Beliefs are not facts. Santa Clause. Easter Bunny. There are other beliefs as well but I'm not here to challenge beliefs. You can choose to believe what you want. But for me it comes back to evidence based facts.

You were wrong

That can happen. I've been wrong before. But I'm willing to look at, listen to and consider alternatives when presented in a way that makes sense. But in the end I'm going to form my opinion based on what I "believe" I know to be "statements of facts".

We can learn from our mistakes, but only when we're willing to consider another side of a story. What I've heard over and over is an accusation of "Laziness". That (some) people just want a free-bee. And there ARE some who want life handed to them for free. But not everyone who lost power is that kind of lazy. You have the unwed mother who was not allowed an abortion (for the record I'm against abortion). She is forced to feed another mouth she can't afford. So she applies for food stamps (or whatever they're calling it these days) and she's called lazy. Wanting a hand out. Meanwhile, those who would force a decision upon her wish to insure the birth of a child that they don't want to insure the welfare or health of that child. It's wrong to kill a child, born or unborn. But it's also wrong to let that child starve. So which is it? - - - Covid comes along and forces people to sequester and isolate. Businesses go out of business. People lose their jobs. Bills come due. Rent. Mortgage. Auto Insurance. And no money to pay for all that. So they starve. Stupid lazy starving people!

I could go on. But I see that this is becoming a rant. I could delete it and/or edit it. For now I'm just going to stop. Some people really do need a checkup from the neck up. Cancun. Selling hotel stocks before the pandemic is announced. I really need to stop now.

Far as this conversation goes - I'm done. Out of it. Any further non-response on the subject from me is not a sign of defeat. Just a sign that beating MY head against a brick wall accomplishes nothing.

OMG that's almost as dumb as the foot petal elevator buttons.

My statement was "The guy was a fool for saying people were lazy" in my original post on the subject. I tend to say exactly what I feel. I don't like the Lazy word either and tend not to use it as a serious explanation of social behaviors. As a kid in Texas it was thrown out to blacks and browns as a BS explanation for pure racism. Calling people lazy for being unprepared for a rare weather event was a hateful and mean comment and I'm glad the fool resigned. IMO you are knocking your head on a brick-wall of your own making because I agree with 90% of what you're saying about "Laziness".

I did say I wasn't going to comment further on this, but it seems I got the wrong impression of what you were saying. Finally, I'm done with this conversation. And this isn't really the place for having it. We all have opinions. Opinions are like arse holes. We all have them and speaking of opinions, to each his own, we each believe our own opinion (like an arse hole) doesn't stink.

 

We all have them and speaking of opinions, to each his own

But I've been here long enough to know nsa and a few of his good buddies opinions are the only ones that matter. And rather than admitting they were/are wrong they will just wear you down until you stop trying.

Glad it was detonated in a controlled manner. The BBC IR video is very impressive @00:22
