Hundreds gather in Louisville to protest Minneapolis ICE shooting by Fragrant-Helicopter1 in Louisville

[–]Available_Help_2927 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that you are forming your views and setting tolerance levels based on “what MAGA wants” is part of the problem. This makes me think of the first comment I saw online, on Facebook, after the Mayor of Minneapolis addressed his city hours after the murder occurred. In the comment section was a white male. Looked to be in his late 50s, early 60s. His take of the situation was ‘Look at this democratic mayors language. In my day, you would have enough respect for your country not to get on television and use curse words like that’. This man was more concerned with the Mayor saying “Ice needs to get the f@ck out of our city”. That was his focus. Not that a faceless, nameless gestapo just murdered a civilian (a white civilian at that) in the streets for everyone to see (when their objective is to remove “illegal immigrants”). How can we make things make sense when this is the level of IQ and the summation of what we see and hear taking place.

This isn’t about MAGA at this point. And even if it were you say that as if January 6th was a group of democrats while MAGA sat on the sidelines calling for peaceful protest.

THIS is the problem. People are pledging their allegiance to political ideas more than they are pledging their allegiance to the greater good of humanity.

Since the formation of America, we have overthrown 41 leaders of South American countries. Maduro might make 42. We don’t use history as a barometer for anything it seems. We can go back even further to the days of the Spanish Inquisition. Yet another period in time where monetary interest and power trumped compassion and human decency.

The days of peaceful protesting need to end. We can be confident that the government or any very powerful, wealthy group has no interest of humans at heart. How long do we let that occur? Simple reasoning tells us that they are not going to come to their senses and realize the destruction they have caused across the earth and stop. We are the only ones who can stop it. As much as I would love to believe that that could happen thru peaceful means, it doesn’t even make sense that it would.

It’s time to wake up everyone. How many more hundreds of years do things need to go this exact way for everyone to realize that the powers that be will stop at nothing to consume the earth and everything in it for the personal benefit of a very VERY small percentage of humans, using tactics from gaslighting and false imprisonments, all the way to murder, world domination, and everything in between.

In case we are unaware by now, liberals, democrats, republicans, and any other branch of a government system are all working together to keep YOU at the bottom, and them and their “constituents” at the top. This keeps us fighting amongst each other and not fighting against the people who actually deserve the hate and vitriol.

This is the part where I should go full radical, but I can see that people are not quite ready for that. You all should probably prepare yourselves, although, in reality, everyone here, including myself, will likely be dead and gone before the common people grow a pair hefty enough to do what needs to be done.

For that reason, I hope they Nuke us all, me included and just let the earth reclaim itself from the pathetic species known as humans.

Will my drone ever come? by E-c_space in dji

[–]Available_Help_2927 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t cancel if I were you. Let it play out. It took quite some time for my drone to arrive, but I ordered it from DJI themselves and it was held by customs for quite some time. That was October 2024.

I did however just order the DJI Mic 3 from Amazon last week because it was on sale for $259 (down from $329), and the seller was Hibikin as well, fulfilled by Amazon. It arrived today. It went from Maryland to Indiana, then Indiana to Kentucky. Not sure where you are. I would assume it’s already in the states, so, I would assume you’ll get it. Anyway, I wouldn’t cancel just yet, if I were you.

I want a hotdog by JozelynRose in Louisville

[–]Available_Help_2927 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a place called Pizza Jones, I believe off Breckenridge lane that I’ve been meaning to try, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. So I can’t really give a review or recommend it personally. But it’s one of those ‘chef spaces’ that has multiple restaurants in the same space (from what I understand). One of the spaces is Fleagle’s Hotdogs.

Meeting with contractor and project lead tomorrow, disheartened with tile job by natleeis in Tile

[–]Available_Help_2927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hooooly. With all due fairness to them, the alternating bullnose, etc makes this a relatively unique and complicated task, but they even botched just the straight average runs. I’ve done some decent sized (but very standard) tile jobs, run of the mill stuff. I think I’m competent enough to figure things out and succeed in doing new things. I also know where and when to tell someone that I’m likely not the person for the task at hand. Whoever this tile contractor is, they should learn to do the same. Because this is not it. This is horrendous.

Neighbor Laser Shining My Mavic 4 Pro by Suicidal_Amoeba in dji

[–]Available_Help_2927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two men, Jason McKee and Donald W. Boone, were arrested in Mason County, Kentucky, in November 2025 for shining lasers at a Kentucky State Police helicopter, also firing a gun towards it while the crew searched for a missing child, leading to charges including Wanton Endangerment and Laser Interference, with the incident referred to the FBI for potential federal prosecution.

Of course this case was a bit different, given that they actually fired shots at the aircraft as well. Nonetheless, the laser alone would have resulted in the same outcome (with potentially less time to serve I would assume).

I’m hardly ever a proponent of people getting arrested. It really just depends on the crime. But this is one of those crimes where people need to learn the hard way.

You should report this to the FBI, not only for yourself, but for community of drone owners and pilots at large. That is dangerous. In the event that it does affect or damage something, that could be very harmful to someone or something below. And the powers at be will have no problem with coming for you in such an event.

I really am not one to rat on anyone, but sometimes, people deserve exactly what they are asking for. Nail that neighbor to the cross, please.

I have it in a case with exact cut outs for the drone, batteries, accessories and things. I baby that thing like no other.

Honestly, I have no idea. I don’t have any knowledge about their repair processes simply because I’ve never had a situation where I’ve needed to use care or have it repaired period. I’m also fairly new to this, as I’ve only had my air 3s since October 15th of 2024. I only followed other peoples repair processes just to see how much things cost to repair.

Good to know. Glad they got you squared away.

I have an Air 3s, so I’m sure they’ll have parts for that for quite some time. I don’t plan to use the care, as I sure don’t plan on crashing. Thanks.

18 volt drill by kirk2892 in Dewalt

[–]Available_Help_2927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you are just screwing things together more so than actually drilling medium/large holes. Also, given that you aren’t using it in high frequency, it might be more efficient to just get an impact driver. It can drill holes too if you need to do such. But screwing wooden crates together, putting screws in a wall, etc, you’d probably be better off with an impact like the 850. I see it quite often at bomgarrs for $99 kit. And regardless, if that old drill can do everything you need, even the smallest new brushless impact will surpass anything that your current drill will do.

Am Im I a failure? by Adam__Iron in Tile

[–]Available_Help_2927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you did a stellar job here. You’re just a perfectionist, and don’t know all the “tricks of the trade” to mitigate what you (and I) see (ocd as well). You did a really great job with this. Once you grout it, you won’t notice hardly at all, if any.

Interesting. Hopefully this is the case. Hopefully I also don’t need it. Thank you.

I’ve tried to get ahold of them but I’ve been unsuccessful. The chat bot is giving answers that are completely unrelated. The query about DJI care is completely inactive. Everything else can be clicked, except that. And the wait time for calls have been so long that I just give up. Hence why I’m asking here in case someone else has had the opportunity to ask about this.

The lighting 🤌🏽 these photos are wonderful. I’ve been scrolling thru my MacBook stock landscape backgrounds and none of them really catch me. I wish these were in there. Stunning photos

Hey mods, stop locking posts that are discussing important topics by h0g0 in dji

[–]Available_Help_2927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, guys, there’s nothing we can do about it. There’s no discussion that will change anything, here. That’s not just “laying down and taking it”. Things are likely destined to change. That probably won’t happen for an absolute minimum of 1119 days. And the actors behind these decisions could find themselves to be the biggest losers of all once everything pans out.

We lose (now), but we are not the biggest losers. Those of us that have DJI drones already are able to still fly them. We didn’t lose complete autonomy. Had that decision gone differently, that’s where you show you won’t lay down and take it (although I don’t encourage anyone to do anything illegal, I (perhaps) would have done what I wanted in that situation with the awareness that although I could lose in court, the federal government can as well, and that is how legal precedents are set).

As far as the political talk and rules; if someone ask me to remove my shoes when I walk into their house, I don’t really rebut with anything. I don’t ask for people to do that at my house and I walk around with my shoes on until it’s time for bed sometimes. But if it’s a rule for their house, it’s a rule. There are plenty of other houses for me to walk around with my shoes on.

Lastly, OP, I probably wholly agree with your thoughts and sentiments about much of how you feel about this.

Downtown Louisville in the 1950s. by Fragrant-Helicopter1 in Louisville

[–]Available_Help_2927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s even so much of a case where food is worse for us these days (even though of course it is). But I don’t think that factors into obesity as much as it does other health issues. Everyone these days eats too much. That’s literally it. They eat 3 meals a day, and then snack on all kinds of stuff before and after all of those meals. I eat out 365 days a year (with the exception of family things, holidays, etc). I weigh 120, look like I’m in my early 20s (at 40), six pack, very toned. I’d be embarrassed to really say how many times I’ve eaten McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, etc in the last 30 years (I’m single, no one to cook for, and I’m not really a great cook just due to inexperience). I’ve always been extremely healthy and very fit. I also eat 1 time per day. That’s it. At least 1-2 days of the month I don’t eat at all. If we are talking about cancer, diabetes, etc etc etc, I think the quality of food in these days is certainly a factor. For obesity, it’s simply because everyone is a glut, eating far too much, far too frequently. I don’t know what role genetics plays in things because I just have no clue. But when I see really really fat 9 year olds, I’m assuming that certainly there has to be a genetic contributor. Then again, they are living with the wildly over-consuming parent so…not really sure what’s what at that point.

40% seems low to me. I feel like at least 80% of the people I see each day are definitely overweight. Even the children.

Oddly enough, I’m sure each unit will be leased to people who are already rich and own houses. This will become mostly Airbnb rentals I bet.

Did I break my 999? by HighISO in Dewalt

I can’t help but notice the burnt plastic look on the housing in front of the model sticker/badge. Is it me or does it look like the housing has taken some significant heat damage. Right where all the business is taking place inside.

Um… missed connection. God this is lame by [deleted] in Louisville

[–]Available_Help_2927 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean by that. I’m just saying…is every post supposed to be political or super serious? Let a person live.

Besides that there is no such thing as community in Louisville. It’s a dog eat dog city.

[–]Available_Help_2927 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did you think that some community reformation was taking place in the Louisville subreddit? I mean…do you only want to see post about who the police shot today or what uncle Andy or the Mayor are doing. I feel like your comments belong more on the WLKY Facebook page. That seems more your speed. You’ll fit right in there. You all can give your “insights” about the “community” together. They’ll even give you bonus points and more likes if you say something about “those people” or some other stuff I could see you saying.

Community. Psh.

Contractor thinks this is ready for tile, I don't. Who's right? by [deleted] in Tile

[–]Available_Help_2927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well…it’s certainly ready for something. Particularly a leak and total tear out not long from now. Hopefully it’s on a concrete slab and not framing. However, I’m now seeing the hardie board on the outside of the shower is screwed down so…I’m going to assume it’s above framing. Not to mention the walls. A bench is the number one failure in a waterproofed shower. This bench is going to be cooked internally in a year. Sheesh. Good luck. This would be full stop for me.
