I shelved her after a crash and a thousand dollar scare. I moved on to more comfortable projects that don't defy gravity. I could leave it shelved, intact and safe. But no, titan dynamics said I could use their airframe in my dissertation. I paid $200 in tariffs for monster ESCs and brushless motors. It's time to crash her or add the coolest flourish I can imagine to my defense, ego, and resume. New motors are gonna take fresh mounts on the arms and re-leveling which was a pita. I'm ordering a gh1.25 pre-crimped because I'm so afraid of another short in the same place. I picked up some 6Ss which should get us to 2x thrust to weight ratio. Should be done before the weather is nice enough to fly. Then hover tests and quad calibrations. After that, I guess you just punch it? I'm so scare to try flying again. ora pro me

@literally_chad If somebody asked me “are you a mean bastard if you don’t get what you want?”, I wouldn’t really believe the answer either. It didn’t seem like a bad thing. Maybe an anxious thing.

@literally_chad I think I have. It felt like temperament probing? My last girlfriend would say or do uncharacteristic things that I bristled at as if to say “would you still love me if I believed ___?” simply respond with a twinkle in your eye

I'm also curious and have never experienced this

It'll be cute. I'll enjoy it. Banging A Million Trash Cans Is Percussion is the only way modern Hollywood knows how to score film.

@tenobrus you say that now, but they’re 8 months out from the real singularity (1tb unified Mac Studio with a 32 GB partition containing Steve Job’s consciousness. Ships with Ethernet dongle.)

it's crazy how much i stan apple products and software and yet have never once applied or seriously considered working there. like as much as they have countless very serious engineering efforts, at the end of the day they're still kinda just building very shiny toys

@ShutItAIIDown @BecomingCritter Would you say that this implies that they did or did not?

@timpostor @BecomingCritter I hope they made it clear she was a lesbian, at least.

Watched Project Hail Mary and they really expect me to believe that earth would have been able to make a trip like that without elon musk?

@keatonc33 @mattyglesias

@mattyglesias Is it based off the game?

Star Wars: Starfighter is a hilariously bad title. How did they not spend 30 minutes brainstorming a better idea for their trillion dollar IP?

@yacineMTB this guy just punched his ticket to air to air Valhalla

@BackwardsFeet @MrsRuvi vaguely a combination of the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars (positive)

@MrsRuvi the fantasy trilogy of four books written by a homeschooler in the mid-late 2000s, selling 33.5 million copies, that is vaguely a combination of the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars

do Kids These Days read the Inheritance Cycle
