No coach deserves this moment more than Mike Brown. He took a team, gave it structure, accountability, & belief, then turned potential into a championship formula. The best coaches build great habits & chemistry. Brown is inspiring! Congrats @nyknicks

It’s not about working hard, it’s about value creation. You really don’t get it.

I’m not saying he will be nominated, only that Trump personnel are out of the picture because of the stench of defeat. Dems almost a lock to retake the WH, in which case they will restore Iranian nuclear program

Incidentally this is a production still from one of my favorite movies ever, A Bridge Too Far. It’s depicting the heroic stance of British troops in Operation Market Garden. For production reasons, it was evidently filmed at a different nearby bridge, but it depicts Arnhem.

I've loved having new connections! I've reached my follow back today but promise I'll get back to each and every one of you!

Crazy Eddie Memoirs: If my fellow Democrats had put me in charge of counting votes, I could have cooked the books the old-fashioned way—no mail-in ballots required

.@ChrisMurphyCT has a new book out called "Crisis of the Common Good." He argues our society is too focused on profits for an individual and not enough about lifting up the broader community. We spoke recently at "Writers Bloc" in Santa Monica.

Most of the Bassura votes are fabricated by Logan and his drooling band of criminals. Then there are the 80 IQ's who love what they've got and want to stick with it:

How about this idea, Ed...

Spamburger just signed VA into the Hate Trump compact. If it had been in effect for 2024, it would force VA's Electoral College votes to go to Trump. But Kommiela won Virginia. They are incandescently stupid.

No human with a brain on the planet thinks Spencer Pratt’s office spontaneously combusted this week wtf OBVIOUSLY ARSON. Local LA media belongs in prison.

After a storied career, Ralph Lauren should rest in the knowledge that he gave Americans the creative language to express their heritage through fashion. His new stamps are iconic. His whole life has been a love letter to America. Me @realDailyWire dailywire.com/news/the-fashi…

They don’t care about anything but power. Green energy is just a tool they use to get to full communism. Stop thinking they have principles. They don’t. They’ll do anything to achieve totalitarian rule.

Elon responded to Warren calling him a “freeloader" in 2021: “I'm actually paying the most tax that any individual in history has ever paid this year. Ever." "And she doesn't pay taxes basically at all. Her salary is paid for by the taxpayer, like me. If you could die by irony, she would be dead."

Alex Soros not just a prop. He’s the Founding Chair of the political arm that endorsed Mamdani. It’s disclosed on its own federal tax return. The charity that funds it sent 100% of its grants to that political arm for 3 straight years. Daddy’s dough. Taxpayer subsidized. But I will concede he is not as smart as his father.

Elon Musk and SpaceX are just one of the many Californians and California businesses who were forced out of the state by failed California Democrats and their insane policies. Nice work, @LorenaSGonzalez, you idiot!

This right here is why we need to keep the electoral college. Never fall for a push for a direct popular vote. Big city dominance would destroy our country and silence voices in our rural communities.

Each takeoff is different. The weight is different, the winds, temperature, pressure, terrain ahead, etc.. We have to calculate the thrust & speeds needed to get off the ground before we run out of runway, and do so in a fashion that will allow us to clear terrain…assuming we lose an engine. So, we plug the details into our computer. It sends that off to another computer at the airline, which does the calculations & sends back a solution. This solution tells us how much thrust we need from the engines, flap settings, trim setting for the elevator & at what speeds we will perform certain actions. These speeds are referred to as “V speeds”, for “Velocity”. V1 is arguably the most important. As part of the computers solution, it is using the “balanced field” concept. There is no need to use maximum thrust on a 12,000’ runway…you can take it easy on the engines, reducing wear & tear. On the other hand, a 6,000’ runway is going to require a lot of flaps & maybe maximum thrust. Depends on the weight, temperature, etc. So the computer does this work, with the goal of creating a situation where at some point in the takeoff, the distance required to safely continue the takeoff is equal to the distance required to reject the takeoff & stop. There is a point along the runway where these two are equal. That point isn’t going to be clearly marked on the runway. As I said, the numbers change for every takeoff depending on the conditions. So instead of looking for a distance, we use a speed. You can think of this as V1. I’m simplifying here, but I think that will help you better understand. At V1, we have hit the balanced field point. We now have enough runway in front of us to either safely continue the takeoff (even if an engine fails) or safely stop in the runway remaining. Hopefully by now you can see what is happening after V1…you can safely continue the takeoff, but you have passed the point where you can safely attempt to stop. If you attempt to stop, you are going off the end of the runway & into the dirt at an unknown speed. It’s going to be a bad day. Procedurally, 5 knots before reaching V1, the pilot not flying calls out “V1”. This triggers the pilot flying to take their hand off the thrust levers (throttles) & put it on the yoke (or wherever, just get it off the thrust levers. Keep in mind procedures vary slightly between airlines). It’s a commitment that almost no matter what happens now, we are going flying. We will not attempt to stop for almost anything. (you might attempt to stop for some extreme event, like a wing falls off or something, but emergencies like engine fires, failures, hydraulics…even a fire in the cabin will not stop us from taking off past V1. It’s safer to get in the air & work the problem) So, V1 is a decision point. You don’t actually do anything to the airplane, you just change your mindset. Now, our calculations & procedures are all based on losing an engine at precisely V1 speed or after, where you can no longer stop. Don’t worry, we’ve done the math. The airplane will fly & it will clear the terrain, though it’s going to be very busy for the pilots for a while. Hope that helps. As usual, I’m simplifying some for a general audience & there is more to it, but hopefully you now have an understanding of the term V1.
