Almost as if it were a flying potato.
Almost as if the entire thing is a potato.
A four bladed potato.
in soviet Alaska, potato slice you.
Could be called spudnik.
also, flying a drone indoors is the first instinct from alot of people
Crashing a drone within 5 minutes of getting one is a common occurance
I think when you push the takeoff button it instantly goes five feet into the air.
eugh.
I have yet to use it though.
See, I almost never use an automatic takeoff.
I like to be in full control
See, I own two guns, and two drones.
I'm actually more afraid I might hurt someone with my drone than my gun.
Entirely possible. Guns are more predictable.
People buy them as toys, but most toys usually can't slice digits off if you hold them incorrectly.
My Mavic had a problem with it's arm once
The limiter broke
This drone has a setting that you can hold it in your hand and have it take off from there. Seems very stupid to do.
the propeller made contact with the drone chasis
It cut through with the same effect as a saw.
I hand-launch all the time.
I even hand-catch.
Figured it wasnโt that safe.
But you have to be ready to do it, and aware of the potential problems
There's technique
and you have to be able to do it without flinching.
Maybe Iโll turn that setting on again after my first few flights.
Really only got as far as taking it apart/putting it together, charging all the stuff, and doing software updates.
As someone who tries to take video of events and the like, occasionally I draw an uncomfortable crowd.
I have to secure a launch and landing site for my Karma, but my Mavic, I can hand-catch.
(editing video right now...)
Iโd only use the drone for hiking and stuff so I donโt expect anyone to be around to bother me.
I dropped the bitrate through the floor on this for the sake of removing detail and making it small enough to post
but the first clip is to show what I was filming (a large crowd at a carnival).
Rip drone
My drone got spotted by some kids, and they saw that I was piloting it. I wound up getting surrounded and was getting distracted, and needed to relocate my operation.
What do you mean Rip Drone?
That was a successful example and use of a hand-catch.
It looked like it hit something.
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
When it went sideways, that was the motors successfully stopping. After that, it just got whisked away, and I was able to move.
Normally, if I'm doing a ground landing, I have to secure a place. I don't like to land within 3 feet of non-participating (not privy to the operation at hand) people, trees, or slanted ground. Or water.
So, if I'm bringing my Karma down, for instance, I'll find my landing zone, and start walking around the center of it in a wide circle.
If I'm bringing my Mavic down, I'll try the same (albeit with concrete preferred over grass because the landing rudders on the Mavic is virtually nonexistant)
But the process of landing takes about 20 seconds that way.
at least.
The hand catch lets me ignore my other landing protocol. Grasp it from beneath (avoiding the proximity sensors), kill the motors, bug the hell out. 5 seconds is all it takes to kill the motors.
But yeah, Drones are scary, and should generally be treated with the same regard as a weapon when it comes to personal responsibility.
Shark drone.
Sheet
My potato probably canโt do that ya?
Can it fly?
As far as I can tell yes.
Iโll just assume that if I get too close in the wrong way it can do a significant amount of damage.
This is apparently a wound that came from a mini drone.
Those are generally about the size of a cell phone.
And a little bit lighter.
Bad times.
This one MIGHT have actually been a slightly larger mini
But the wound that I linked above?
That wound was caused by the Karma.
Karma flys with relatively dull blades.
Karma is bigger than the potato I think.
I'll fill you in on one more thing, then.
As a drone pilot, in the event an injury occurs, the FAA gets involved.
The FAA recognizes 5 things they refer to as 'Hazardous Attitudes'
Antiauthority, Impulsivity, Invulnerability, Macho, and Resignation.
If you ever try to become, say, a professional drone pilot, you're required to be familiar with these attitudes and the hazards they present.
(Or if you try to become a full pilot)
Is the FAA a worldwide thing or just US? If itโs just US itโs not relevant for me.
Oh, I thought you were in the states. You talked about a visit to Alaska.
Canadian?
No my parents were on vacation in Alaska. They got back home today.
(Pro tip, avoiding the five hazardous attitudes are still good rules to live by)
(When handling anything that could be potentially unreasonably deadly, such as power tools, cars, drones, weapons etc. etc)
For instance, people tend to have a saying that 'everyone has a Negligent firearm discharge eventually". That is actually pretty close to Resignation. The proper response is to keep in mind that anyone CAN have a negligent discharge, and use that as a reminder to take safety precautions extra seriously.
But anyway, wherever you are, just be safe, know your country's drone laws, and have fun. And if you ARE in Canada.... I'm so sorry.
Thankfully Iโm not from Canada.
Good. Canada has RIDICULOUSLY stringent laws. Like, think Youtube community guidelines applied to drones, where no matter what you do you're probably breaking a law.
Iโve read into the laws here a bit and Iโll need to read them again but the max height Iโll be able to fly at is around 150ft. Professionals get a little more leeway.
```Under the new [canadian] recreational drone rules, you canโt fly:
Higher than 90 meters (300 ft.) above the ground
At a distance of more than 500 meters (1,640 ft.) from the operator
Within 75 meters (246 ft.) of buildings, vehicles, vessels, animals, people or crowds
At night or in the clouds
Within 9 km (5.6 miles) from the center of an airport or other facility where aircraft takeoff or within 9 km of forest fires
If your drone doesnโt have your name, address and telephone number labeled on the aircraft
In a way that interferes with first responders or police```
So my rules might be more strict lol.
maybe.
Also, within 300 feet of animals.
So, if a bird flies anywhere near your drone
#getfukt
We have problems with suicide drones so if you arenโt careful it might get shot down by the military. Iโve seen it happen once.
I don't think you said where you're from.
Israel.
OH!
oh.
Lol
Yeah...
I've wondered before if drones ever got iron domed.
Think Patriot missiled.
When I was in the military we had a drone from Gaza fly over the base and get shot down.
The iron dome stuff was normal compared to that.
lol
How'd it get taken down, sharpshooter?
I live next to a damn USAFB
no drones for me
Patriot missile shot it down.
Dear lord that's overkill.
A bit yeah.
cant take any chances
I mean, you could probably take it down with lead. A lot cheaper that way.
well
then again I'm assuming a drone flying at 400 feet
I donโt know what kind of drone it was.
If you're going to do it. Do it right
Realistically, it could've been spying at 1k straight up, that'd be impractical.
The scholar I work with sometimes told me about an officer who got a drone and flew it onto the base on accident.
(in Israel)
Man, he got chewed out, but if he hadn't have been an officer, it would've been a LOT worse.
Yeah for sure.
IDF doesnโt take chances with that kind of stuff.
What is the picture trying to convey under that headline? Is Trudeau jealous of Merkel's Starburst? I guess it was strawberry
did she eat them tho?
Lol
Hopefully
Anyone here thinks that Trump's similar to George Patton?
Seems to me that the people who were some of the greatest figures in American history weren't really nice people, and Donald Trump is another one of them
You sure? I remember seeing at least two askreddit threads on that.
Pretty much everyone said in person he was really friendly.
He only becomes like the guy we all know when he is doing buisness.
Yeah, that's exactly what I mean.
Patton was a nice guy in person, he had friends, but in war, he was a brutal cunt
He slapped a soldier in a hospital because the guy said he was suffering from Battle Fatigue
Why the fuck is there a kids show about transvestites?
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/video/drag-tots-trailer-1110743
Because shit is fucked.
when I asked for more traps in my anime, this wasn't what I meant
pretty much sums it up
cancer patient is a gender
There is a saying or something about how some people would build a ramp for someone in a wheelchair while activists will shame you for having both legs. So I see it happening. There was also the #freethepimple movement where instead of trying to actually be hygienic and get rid of acne they tried to get people to think of having it as a good thing.
Or the healthy at all sizes thing.
like Bill Maher hoping for a recession to prove Trump is bad
Small nuanced correction.
>Trump Cures Cancer
>Anti-Trump Movement: "Trump is conspiring to eliminate cancer patients from America!"
We've got to stop Trump! Save the Cancer Patients!
^Yea true.
To the meme recycle-bin!
๐ค
Perhaps its time for memes to evolve,
We need to think of a new more powerful type of meme
the key is to claim offense first
@Dr.Wol the real future is when Neuralink neuro interface becomes an option and memes spread simply by thought as they are truly are meant to be
we already have a new more powerful type of meme: shitpostting political protests
memes are no longer confined to the internet
reality is the meme now
I just hope Trump doesn't cure aids cause that would suck.
The women would be shirtless on a Dutch airline
lmao
wait, there is only 2 genders in that pic
Sometimes, you gotta love De Franco stories https://youtu.be/5iltz8JTRKw?t=4m25s
@Deleted User to be fair, we already have them.
although its usually horses not dogs
fucking a horse to death is quite a feat
Don't forget they do it to goats as well.
@Radcliffe depends on who's death
Stupidity runs deep in this one. Is your mom your aunt?
Holy shit
I cant w8 for the memes
Turks versus trolls indeed
๐
Also @Timcast you need to keep an eye on this thing. Maybe send a spy in. This might change landscape in culture war significantly.
In the original, the mother is being checked by the police
pulice bertality
TYT wants to fight lies, misinformation, fake news and trolls... is someone going to stand by and tell them to stop hitting themselves? ๐
some of the comments: "Right-wingers are afraid of Truth! Truth defeats trump fanboys 10 out of 10 times. Facts and Logic undo most any argument Right-wingers have."
what should I do? Anywhere I should report this?
Report it to who and for what? They can ban whoever they want for whatever they want. Just don't let your communities be infiltrated and overthrown in the future.
@Deleted User if only you knew a mod, and could find the mod who banned you. then report that mod for rule number 1.
Lmao
Who exactly takes them seriously?
@I AM ERROR You'd be suprised.
Almost everybody in my college gets their news from Buzzfeed
keyword here: "college"
College is basically kindergarten for young adults.
kindergarten is less of a kindergarten than college ๐
@Deleted User man the shit I'm reading is so retarded
traps is a slur against trans women
fuck you
trap doesn't even have anything to do with transgender
And traps call themselves traps.
@CastleBravo remember talking about spin stabilizing slugs? this might interest you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJAXpyt8-oQ
Unless traps is like the N word now and only traps can say it.
N word? Nogger? or Nogger Choc?

It's bad enough how uncomfortable Wiggler seems to be having Waluigi behind him...
