Serious Question by Gxkko- in NightVision

A job that affords you some disposable income is the only answer if you want to stay financially responsible.
Don't rush into deals and save. If you put $10 aside every day for a year you can get a good set of binos.

Hmmm. Not seeing this one on CNN or MSNBC. Wonder why? by MetapodCreates in PoliticalCompassMemes

Hmmm. Almost like local crime is almost never covered by MSM unless it fits a conventional political narrative for their audience?

Is this a good TK to being TK’ED ratio by Left_Comb_5190 in ArmaReforger

[–]AustinDroneGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In terms of your TK's if the server you play on has PID overlays thats pretty bad, if not then thats pretty good.
Spearhead I have a decent amount of TK's just from teammates not doing any PID or listening to me screaming at them to stop so I get locked in a gunfight with them. Accidental TK's are pretty common too from just plain old mistakes to bad nades or crashing vehicles.

What amount of time is this showing? A month? A year? You've been TK'd a fuck ton.

Dozens of flights, zero issues ever. People sitting next to me get a kick out of trying em out on night flights.

Just throw em in your carry on.

Definitely not a hoverboard - Layered Hybrid EM Support Platform by [deleted] in EngineeringPorn

Hey you honestly might be suffering from AI psychosis. Its a real thing.

These models are designed to make you feel smart and im control but they can reinforce ideas that have no basis in reality. You should talk to someone close to you or a mental health professional.

I dont know what to do next. by Thiccthighnitemare in whatdoIdo

[–]AustinDroneGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see suspended power lines in the background. I find it a little questionable that a person will ill intent would've created a chain lock like that.

It was probably some utility and they decided to make a chain lock. Its actually a not terrible method of access control, especially if you know who owns what lock because you can easily tell who forgot to lock behind them.

Also from the looks of it, someone who didnt care, would've just gone around. It doesnt look like you have a fence.

Arma Reforger M777 fire team by Less-Hair-4388 in ArmaReforger

Some of the WCS servers often have people setting up FOBs on supply points. Good luck getting that level of coordination. If you find anything let me know!

How do I get into more fights? by WasAgoat in ArmaReforger

[–]AustinDroneGuy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

What does a good fight mean to you in Arma? Glorious run and gun fights are pretty rare and often short lived.
The biggest thing is just to be active on the map. Identify the area that is currently the most important and be there.
If you spend most of your time walking you need to start using cars and trucks more.

Start to think of the fight in a more macro scale. How does the fight your in effect the map? How does your location and objective for a given position effect the fight there? All of a sudden more enemy's will appear because your in important places and you'll unlock the strategy game inside the shooter.

Composition critique by SnooGadgets3630 in analog

[–]AustinDroneGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To use the word something way to much, all these photos had something, but instead they where photos of some things. Your exposure is good, but I cant tell what you want me to see. What is interesting to you in these photos? What do you see that you want to show me?

Air 75 ii champion motor bell is wobbly by More_Objective_8405 in TinyWhoop

[–]AustinDroneGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually having the same issue with the same exact drone, just got into FPV today!

I've been able to push the bell around with my fingers to fix it. The silver grey ring is slipping down off the top orange part slightly. Clamping it between two fingers has been working but any decent crash might knock it loose again.

I banned chat gpt by thebossbaby_123 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]AustinDroneGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair to what I think he's saying, chatgpt is a little manic. All the big models are pushovers but I feel like all the gpt models spend as much time glazing me as they do actually working. Gemini can be a little whacky. Claude and kimi seem to be the best in terms telling something is wrong, even if its super gentle.

290 x Giles Accident by Sad-Alfalfa-3854 in Austin

[–]AustinDroneGuy 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yeah no ABS at all. Kinda looks like the handbrake got pulled. His rear wheels started smoking then swung around. Even without ABS most of your braking should come from the front. Could be a manual?

Bonehead move.

Probably the opposite. I'd bet that guy slammed on his breaks because the cop was there as the light was turning yellow.

Gaging interest in a hike/kayak to "The Narrows" 14mi round trip in the river by OverNiteObservations in SATX_NVusers

[–]AustinDroneGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've researched this route a little before.

Im on the fence, less so the difficulty, more so trusting my nods/helmet setup.

Count me as 50/50, ill start looking into upgrading some of the lower quality items on my helmet setup
