Yeah but my use involves backcountry hiking so as lightweight as possible is ideal

That’s a concern of mine too- a friend of mine has had DJI drones for a while now and offered me his Phantom 3 advanced with the fly more pack for $1000... the phantom is a much better photography platform than the smaller drones, but they’re also significantly bigger and don’t fold up so they’re a way bigger pain in the arse to packing it in the 4wd vs the mavic air, which you can fold up and fit in a jacket pocket, but is it worth the extra $500 for that convenience?

Yes. The reason I don’t use my I1 much at all is 100% because of space needed and setup time.

To add another YouTube recommendation even if it isn't really similar at all to what has been posted so far since it is about pop music and its history, it is presented in the way that the best YouTubers do it in:

Todd in the Shadows, especially his One Hit Wonderland series. You have to have a basic interest in music but it's good poo poo.

Do you need a windows key my friend?

Yeah, watching the live conference. Center core re-lit the outer two engines but not the center, so it crashed at approx 300mph into the edge of the drone ship/water and took out 2 of the 4 engines on the droneship. Stay safe OCISLY :ohdear:

I don't think anyone has posted these but these are some of the channels I've been watching lately:

Gaming Historian is neat if you like classic video games.

Noriyaro is an Australian guy in Japan who films lots of cool car stuff, mostly drifting.

Games Done Quick GDQ is a biannual event where people play video games as fast as possible. Some of the runs are really fun to watch. It's something watching someone breeze through a game that gave you hell as a kid.

Metal Jesus Rocks More classic game content. He has a lot of buying guide and recommendation videos if you're looking for something new to play.

Nice. Probably about 10 minutes from my office, and it's pretty great to be that close to where you'll need to be every day for school. That will save you so much time and stress.

I went out to Playalinda with some classmates, we were there at 6am when the gates opened so we got a sweet parking spot near the pads.

That rocket? loving incredible. Everpresent crackling, just lurched its way off the pad and into the sky. Shame about the center core but it put on a hell of a show.

As I understand it SpaceX wasn't all that concerned about the core landing. If it worked, cool. If not it was a big whatever. The primary focus was the deployment and MTO burn.

SpaceX actually has quite a fair bit less money. The issue is the dickhead allocations and pork barrelling attached to NASA funds

I hate to continue the saga of drunk dave but I just had to leave my neighborhood bar because two women were getting seriously enraged that I would not talk to them. I said ma’am I just want to hang out and not talk. Oh man please let this not start being a thing. Why won’t you talk what do you do for fun none of your biz. I am ensconced in this bar for 20+ years it is just like wtf.

5" of unplowed snow here. This was the first time I took the Escalade out with fresh 255/70-18 all terrain tires on. Man, that thing is beastly. I've driven a lot of cars with snow tires, but the weight and size of that truck, combined with the thick knobs of the tires and an LQ9 pulling it... It was fun. :D

Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


Need to go into Boston for an Dr appointment during the storm today. Thy said they are open so I am going to stick the truck in 4x4 and take it slow. Of course what this means is someone in a civic will over cook it and smash into me.

The highlander never truly disengages traction control. I'm sad about this. I picked up a pair of lightly used nokian snow tires. It gets the business done, but traction control severely limits the fun factor.

If its anything like my Toyota's its some dumb poo poo like "hold TC button down until it shows disengaged, then keep hold while you turn the key off, then back on".
I'll have to look it up again but its possible, just annoying. With that being said, the TC is loving magical at keeping one on the road.

I consider myself a safe driver, yet last night as I was crossing a street I crossed without realizing that the distance between me and a car coming from the left was shorter than I thought, and it was kind of a close call.

No.

We make all make mistakes. The important part is that you realised you weren't driving safely and (hopefully) you'll be paying more attention in the future.

I don't know man everytime I go to the gym here there are like two huge dudes with raging high and tights snorting Nitro-tech off of each other's rock hard abs.
As long as the mistakes aren't common, I'd say. We can't always be super attentive and mistakes will happen, we're human. But, if the bigger, scarier mistakes are being made every other week or so, maybe you need to focus on becoming a better driver
