    Instead of cursing the piece of shit flophouse planecopter that killed her husband she doubles down and becomes the osprey defender herself.

      Sign of a pretty strong relationship tbh. Probably shouldn't have gotten on an Osprey if they wanted to keep that going.

      I still kind of wonder if it's just one of the longest bits ever

      Become known enough as a defender of the thing, then pretend to die and be the spouse that takes the account over

      Lol it's fail rate is x2 as bad as the black hawks and x6-x12 as bad as the cargo planes, but they deliberately rank by fatalities instead. When a cargo plane crashes, almost a hundred people die. When a V-22 crashes, less than a dozen die. Ergo it's roughly as safe as a cargo jet.

      A more honest rate would multiple flight hours by number of personnel on each flight. If you get on a V-22 you're chance of dying skyrockets compared to being on a C-130.

    If I'm ever killed in a tragic Communism accident, I hope that my wife will pick up my Hexbear account and double down on how awesome Communism is.

        55 books around 25-30 kg, so it would be pretty hard to be buried under them. And English edition is smaller since afaik it's based on earlier Soviet one, and they grown by the edition since more documents were found.

          Being such a hardcore ML that I consider moving Comrade Lenin's writings to be a form of revisionism, I accept my fate.

            That's 39 books, and don't forget collected Stalin works, he got them too, albeit only 13 books. Adding to Lenin that's 107 books, 450+ pages per book on average
