I think you are taking this a way too seriously. First, no one is forcing anyone, or even really compelling anyone to volunteer, if you don't want to do it, you don't have to, with no negative effects whatsoever.
I think the goal is just to make a time where it is more socially acceptably and when people are encouraged to do volunteer work. Many people might have a slight interest, or be unsure of how to get involved, so maybe this day will make that easier, and make them realize how to volunteer more often, out of their own free will.
The same goes for requiring some community service in school. In real life no-one can make you volunteer, but they also can't make you write papers or finish assignments. In school, you get grades for learning, and trying out some volunteer work can be educational.
The pressurized air in the cabin of a plane typically enters just after the compressor stage (but obviously before combustion) in the engines, thereby not requiring a separate compressor, and then goes through a pressure regulator (and filters, I would guess) before entering the cabin. In flight, all the air entering the engine is clean, but at startup, it's probably possible for a some exhaust from the engine, or from other ground vehicles to enter the system.
Both of these may be able to fly as an airplane to this altitude, but would have the same problems when converting to hover. The harrier in particular has an extremly high disc loading (being a jet) and the V-22 has a higher disc loading than a traditional helicopter which decreases their hover efficiencies, and limits their ceiling more than other helicopters.
... I think every liberal should be offered the chance to let the death row criminal they're pining for move into their guest room permanently to preserve their life...
Ok it's a deal, I'll volunteer to have a death row inmate live in my guestroom, but only if you volunteer to be wrongly accused of a crime and put on death row with nothing to preserve your life.
... it would open a whole new question of who or what made God or the simulator... Isn't that always a question? From a practical point of view, it seems like any theory regarding the origin or the universe, or the big bang, leaves a giant orange dolphin in the room of "what is outside/before/beyond that?" A universe or multiverse that is finite seems almost more difficult to comprehend than one that is infinite. How do physicists deal with that?

So the article is saying that older people with dimentia may not recognize sarcasm, but you appear to recognize sarcasm when it's not actually there.
Maybe this is another possible research topic?

What's that sound? Could it be the sound of the entire point of religion flying over the heads of engineers and computer scientists?
