This year was crazy 2020 can go to hell but the one consistently enjoyable thing I had going during lockdown was watching these video. And this years comp was one of the funnier ones. Keep up the great work.
Dad’s a pilot. Asked him what he’d be going to do in class. He said just some flight sims and such. I said oh like a game? J/k but he went with it and said oh yeah I gotta make sure I’m stocked with quarters. Took me a second to connect to the arcade. 🤣
Here's some hopefully interesting information. Wootz steel is a crucible steel characterized by a pattern of bands and high carbon content. These bands are formed by sheets of microscopic carbides within a tempered martensite or pearlite matrix in higher carbon steel, or by ferrite and pearlite banding in lower carbon steels. It was a pioneering steel alloy invented in Southern India in the mid-1st millennium BC and exported globally. Wootz steel originated in South India, in present day Tamil Nadu.[1] There are several ancient Tamil, North Indian, Greek, Chinese and Roman literary references to high carbon Tamil steel. In later times, wootz steel was also made in Golconda in Telangana, Karnataka and Sri Lanka.[2][3][4] The steel was exported as cakes of steely iron that came to be known as "Wootz".[5] The method was to heat black magnetite ore in the presence of carbon in a sealed clay crucible inside a charcoal furnace to completely remove slag. An alternative was to smelt the ore first to give wrought iron, then heat and hammer it to remove slag. The carbon source was bamboo and leaves from plants such as Avārai.[5][6] The Chinese and locals in Sri Lanka adopted the production methods of creating wootz steel from the Chera Tamils by the 5th century BC.[7][8] In Sri Lanka, this early steel-making method employed a unique wind furnace, driven by the monsoon winds. Production sites from antiquity have emerged, in places such as Anuradhapura, Tissamaharama and Samanalawewa, as well as imported artifacts of ancient iron and steel from Kodumanal. A 200 BC Tamil trade guild in Tissamaharama, in the South East of Sri Lanka, brought with them some of the oldest iron and steel artifacts and production processes to the island from the classical period.[9][10][11][12] Trade between South India and Sri Lankan with the Arab world through the Arabian Sea introduced wootz steel to Arabia. The term muhannad مهند or hendeyy هندي in pre-Islamic and early Islamic Arabic refers to sword blades made from Indian steel, which were highly prized, and are attested in Arabic poetry. Further trade spread the technology to the city of Damascus, where an industry developed for making weapons of this steel. This led to the development of the nearly invincible Damascus steel. The 12th century Arab traveler Edrisi mentioned the "Hinduwani" or Indian steel as the best in the world.[13] Arab accounts also point to the fame of ‘Teling’ steel, which can be taken to refer to the region of Telangana. The Golconda region of Telangana clearly being the nodal centre for the export of wootz steel to West Asia.[13] Another sign of its reputation is seen in a Persian phrase - to give an "Indian answer", meaning "a cut with an Indian sword".[8] Wootz steel was widely exported and traded throughout ancient Europe and the Arab world, and became particularly famous in the Middle East.[8] Development of modern metallurgyEdit From the 17th century onwards, several European travelers observed the steel manufacturing in South India, at Mysore, Malabar and Golconda. The word "wootz" appears to have originated as a mistranscription of wook; the Tamil language root word for the alloy is urukku.[14] Another theory says that the word is a variation of uchcha or ucha ("superior"). According to one theory, the word ukku is based on the meaning "melt, dissolve". Other Dravidian languages have similar-sounding words for steel. ukku, the word for steel in the Kannada[15][16] and Telugu languages. When Benjamin Heyne inspected the Indian steel in Ceded Districts and other Kannada-speaking areas, he was informed that the steel was ucha kabbina ("superior iron"), also known as ukku tundu in Mysore.[17][18] Legends of wootz steel and Damascus swords aroused the curiosity of the European scientific community from the 17th to the 19th century. The use of high-carbon alloys was little known in Europe[19] previously and thus the research into wootz steel played an important role in the development of modern English, French and Russian metallurgy.[20] In 1790, samples of wootz steel were received by Sir Joseph Banks, president of the British Royal Society, sent by Helenus Scott. These samples were subjected to scientific examination and analysis by several experts.[21][22][23] Specimens of daggers and other weapons were sent by the Rajas of India to the Great Exhibition in London in 1851 and 1862 International Exhibition. Though the arms of the swords were beautifully decorated and jeweled, they were most highly prized for the quality of their steel. The swords of the Sikhs were said to bear bending and crumpling, and yet be fine and sharp.[8] Wootz is characterized by a pattern caused by bands of clustered Fe 3C particles made by microsegregation of low levels of carbide-forming elements.[24] Wootz contains greater carbonaceous matter than common qualities of cast steel.[citation needed] The distinct patterns of Wootz steel that can be made through forging are wave, ladder, and rose patterns with finely spaced bonds. However with hammering, dyeing, and etching further customized patterns were made.[25] The presence of cementite nanowires, and carbon nanotubes has been identified by Peter Paufler of TU Dresden in the microstructure of wootz steel.[26] There is a possibility of an abundance of ultrahard metallic carbides in the steel matrix precipitating out in bands.[citation needed] Wootz swords were renowned for their sharpness and toughness.[citation needed] CompositionEdit T. H. Henry analyzed and recorded the composition of wootz steel samples provided by the Royal School of Mines. Recording: Carbon (Combined) 1.34% Carbon (Uncombined) 0.31% Sulfur 0.17% Silicon 0.04% Arsenic 0.03% Wootz steel was analyzed by Faraday and recorded to contain 0.01-0.07% Aluminium. Faraday, Messrs, and Stodart hypothesized that Aluminium was needed in the steel and was important in forming the excellent properties of wootz steel. However T. H. Henry deduced that presence of Aluminium in the Wootz used by these studies was due to slag, forming as silicates. Percy later reiterated that the quality of wootz steel does not depend on the presence of Aluminium.[27] - Wikapedia on "Woots Damascus"

Here is the theory of relativity. The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature. You’re welcome and have a nice day.
pretty sure intnl law says that's illegal to deny a mayday....... now if you say it's a day in may when it's in fact not may that's a felony crime subject to fines and prison time..... so it's May 12 today...... 😈
If you're *literally* dead, then how did you post that comment? What is it with dumbass, skinny jeans wearing Millennials saying "literally" all the time?
I've been with him since 2o9 yeah these where the guld'n times bud, got some 400 kts hot air b'loons goin' on and some other crazy stuff...Played Steam Edition too, now switched to MSFS which is a beauty, but still miss those guld'n times bud' ..
@@noah_dpk I joined a formation flight in an A-10 (I didn't have the T-6, and it was the only thing in my library that had the top speed and low stall speed to keep in formation. It was subbed in as an Intruder.
@Lee Saddleback Lol. Btw, I'm sorry, I kinda... Messed up. I'm BI irl, and well- Golden Freddy actually has a mind of its own. Cassidy was placed inside, but she's just the talking and occasionally moving vessel. Golden Freddy is a They, and dont have a gender. So in conclusion: Hello ^-^
I'm sick in bed with covid-19 and I gotta say, the laughter this is giving me has been an absolute boost for my mood and energy. Thanks, homie. Keep these videos coming please!
@@crimzon5326 Much much better now. Was very fortunate to have a relatively mild case. Thank you for asking. Hope you stay healthy and safe. Have an amazing day!
@@LIFEOFSTUFFEDANIMALS I feel very lucky that I'm still here. I've lost several friends and family members to covid. Here's hoping it's almost over. I wish you and your father wellness and love.
I both love and hate this man. I love him because his style of comedy is golden, and hate him because I've accidentally pronounced rotate as "row-ta-tay" on more than one occasion in public because I've watched that scene so many times.
“I’m sorry!” “Say it like you mean it” “iM SoARRy” “Better” “I StIlL LoVe YoU” “Too much” *Actually concerning* One thing I’d like to say from someone who does still play fsx steam edition from time to time. Never have I laughed so hard from videos as funny as yours Wafflemuncher99. You’ve kept me and my friend in tears laughing for 5 years with your flight sim videos. 2020 has been a rough one for a lot of us, I hope your family and you and your friends are safe from it. I lost my best friend this year and he was a superfan of your videos. You brought a little bit of happiness and laughter to my life with your uploads. I wish you the best of luck with next year to come and I hope things will get back to normal. Thanks you for the wonderful vids for the past 5 years
The second "Vietnamese dialect alter-ego" part is Thai. It translates to: "We do not permit students into the campus but- (cuts off)" in a young tv reporter voice. Edit: Timestamp is 5:14 Edit 2: The one later from that says: "*inaudible* have a laptop here *inaudible*"
Getting a stall horn, looking at controls to deal with a different problem, and then crashing head-first into a mountain while you weren't looking is basically 2020 in a nutshell
Watch the hot air balloon in the second clip, where they're in the fighter jets on the runway. The balloon is practically doing 620 knots and later does a full loop, and AirforceProud isn't even calling it out.
I love this! It’s like watching a reality show about flying in a post apocalyptic world where people who always wanted to fly and the random people who volunteer to be ATC. 😂
Almost forgot you existed until I saw this pop into my recommended randomly. Clicked on it and saw a hot air balloon being intercepted by an F-18, so nothing much has changed 😅
