High kicks, high kicks

I usually get a reciept, but that’s because I like to scan/archive them and keep track of how prices change over time

I can hardly remember the days before I became a man of tungsten.

Reminds me of the Rimworld world view

Radness factor is left out of efficiency calculations way too often

It also only serves to continue fueling the polarization of the right. They point and say “See! They will put you in jail simply for saying words!” And since many don’t bother to open the article, it spreads and spreads and fuels their fear factory.

It feels like “responsible journalism” is a thing of the past in the face of appeasing the Algorithm.

As much as I like DJI products and FPV drones in general, I can kinda see where the DoD is coming from on this one. DJI drones are particularly capable (which is part of what makes them so awesome) to the point where some are capable of being semi, if not entirely, autonomous.

Their software is entirely closed source, and thanks to the FAAs own ruling, they are now all equipped with SIM cards and internet access. There’s absolutely a threat model to consider there.

But banning them is the wrong approach. We can’t keep banning good tech just because we’re scared of it. There are entire domestic industries that benefit from DJI tech, and several that exist almost entirely because of it. The best approach would be to incentivize local competition. But since that takes a while… Why not just write custom firmware? We can’t best China in their manufacturing ability, but we’ve got tons of software talent. Write custom firmware, open source it, all domestic products get flashed before flying. Defence keeps a tighter leash on their airspace, and industry keeps their cheap drones. Win-win.

This is exactly what my obsidian vault looks like

Its cool, we can watch them on the TV instead

I was very on board with your comment until the Meyers-Briggs pseudoscience BS and then you lost me

Integrated multiplayer? Hell yeah

Everyone can detect traps! But usually only once.

This is the one case where I’d make an exception. I read through the threads, it got particularly heated.

Life has gotten better since I dropped it. Moved a dozen or so people over to Signal and have been running with that ever since.

I do miss the ability to easily stream games, though.

This is a really good point. Historically communities have always relied on unpaid/underpaid labor in some capacity. Even mowing your neighbors lawn once in a while could be considered a value of a few hundred dollars (fuck lawns btw) - there has always been this invisible layer of communal support that is now becoming commodified.

Marginalized groups being fairly compensated is an objectively good thing, but the financial stress is real. As society continues to grow even more individualistic, we will probably see additional pressures mount until another fundamental shift happens. I have no idea what that will look like, but it is interesting to think about.

I already subconsciously do this because I know it pisses them off, but I like your justification much better

Man these polycules are getting crazy

I completely forgot these existed until this post. What a vivid flashback. Totally going to try them when out

No, closest thing is to join a datahoarder group and trade when needed.

Although with LinkWarden gaining popularity, something like this developing is a possibility.
