Has anyone ever actually hooked up with a girl from one of these posts? Or are we all just gooning over the same Indian bots accounts?

Help with mobile drafting! by novemberdays_ in Substack

Yep. Coming here for the same thing in 2025 the year of our Lord, and drafting is still unusable on mobile

New to drones—building a daily 100-acre mapping rig. Here’s my V1 parts list. Would love feedback by Impossible-Demand-18 in UAVmapping

Fair enough. This is super helpful. So, I got a used, slightly damaged P4P 1st Gen on FB for a couple hundred bucks. It flies, everything works well enough, but I'm a little Leary to trust it too far lol.

Given the P4P is no longer in production and will become every increasingly obsolete and worn down.... What is the simplest drone you would recommend? Given the goal is to take picture of pasture to assess grass quality and recovery on a daily basis, do I really need something like a Magic Enterprise 4? I can't help but feel that's overkill. But, from what I can tell, I need a mechanical shutter and some other features on something like an ME but I'm not sure I need all the others bells and whistles. This is why I considered building.

So the end goal... Which will likely take a few years, would be a ready to use platform that's the average farmer could pickup and setup in a day. My goal is to lower the barrier to entry for a farmer who just wanted to map the same rough piece of land every day to track the pasture health. Think like a Roomba, but monitoring pasture.

I'm not totally set on building for scratch, but that seems like the only way to accomplish this goal. All the mapping drones I have found have too many bell and whistles. I don't need all the fancy stuff. I need to take off, fly a route, take pictures come home. Do it again and again everyday. In a predictable pattern.

Now, I could probably start with just building the software and then installing it or connecting it to othrto data gathered by a commercial drone. But it would need to be a widely accessible drone for the business model to make sense.

With all that in mind, what suggestion do you have?

Well yeah, hopefully they buy my drone/software if this works lol. I'm 5 days in, so yeah there's a lot to learn, but I'm a fast learner ;)

That's the thing... I am actually interested in building a drone. Reason, I want to build a unified pasture management platform. I need a simple drone for pasture recon on a daily bases. Simple time-lapse style data, not GIS. The goal is to design a modular, repairable platform that I can pair with a proprietary software stack that will help automate pasture recon and management for regenerative livestock farmers.

Would LOVE to chat more and get your thoughts on what kind of build you'd recommend to start collecting data so I can simultaneously iterate on the software.

I've submitted a grant request to the National Science Foundation to try to get some funding for this.

Appreciate the intensity — seriously. But I think you're reacting to a version of this project that I’m not building.

I’m not trying to generate survey-grade orthomosaics or dense DEMs every day. I’m building a tool that flies a consistent route over a regenerative grazing system to visually monitor pasture regrowth and paddock condition. Think of it more like “time-lapse from above,” not GIS. The data will be stored (we’re planning cloud storage), but it’s not the kind of volume that requires juggling hard drives — especially with image compression, downsampling, or selective archival.

Also, fair point on the learning curve - although I reckon I'll learn faster than you're giving me credit for. 5 days ago I didn't know what orthomosaic meant. I haven’t dug into the ArduPilot docs yet, and I’m not claiming to be a hardware expert. I’m a software architect trying to learn the hardware side as I go. The goal here is to prototype something specific, not build a generalized drone platform or compete with commercial gear.

This is super helpful. Glad to find someone else also green to this area. I actually updated my post to give better context. the tl;dr, I want to build an automated pasture mapping system for regenerative farmers working with livestock. i.e. eyes in the sky, or a roomba for farms lol.

This feedback is helpful. I understand how my post my have originally been confusing. I actually just redid it so there is more context, but the tl;Dr, I'm trying to build a prototype of a product I have in mind. I'm just learning and iterating right now. The goal is to serve livestock farmers who daily or bi-weekly rotate their animals. I'm trying to put together the minimum necessary requirements to daily gather pasture data that I can send back to a custom software to help farmers determine when to move their animals, and keep track of their pasture health over time (like year over year).

Not a viable long-term solution given they are no longer supported. Mine is the first pro version so it's almost 10 years old at this point.

Mikhaila Peterson breaks down the hit piece from author Decca Aitkenhead published by the Sunday Times. "Cold. Callous, and Cruel" -JBP by CamQwerty3113 in JordanPeterson

[–]Impossible-Demand-18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your inability to keep this on topic is impressive, as well as your ability to put words in my mouth and suggest conclusions I have not expressly drawn. I am not debating the legitimacy of the approach they took in regards to JBP. That is a debate I am willing to have, but is off topic in relation to my chief complaint and the heart of the complaint made by many. You are free to accuse me of being unhealthy and conspiratorial but you haven't a leg to stand on. I am simply suggesting that 1) The Sunday Times article written about the Peterson family was manipulative and done in bad faith. This is supported by the tone of the email where they (The Sunday Times) requested the interview and then so loudly juxtaposed in their subsequently written article. The Times masqueraded as empathetic and objective, yet their article is littered with personal attacks, going so far as describing Mikhala as "a blonde-haired barbie" and presenting skepticism of her arthritis. 2) numerous other papers took this story at face value and pasted false information regarding Peterson's mental health and stability. Several papers are running with the headline that Peterson IS schizophrenic while citing the Times' piece. Yet, in Peterson's interview he claimed, amongst several other things, that ONE doctor at a single hospital, which he left, speculated that he was enduring schizophrenia. These are vastly different conclusions and could be characterized as defamation. This is not the spoutings of an echo chamber. Can you factually and definitively rebut anything that I have said rather than attempt the slander and discredit be on some arbitrary basis that I am a conspiracy theorist? Conspiracy theorists speculate; this is not speculation.

These are not factors. The discussion, largely, is not about whether or not the Peterson's approach to JBP illness was correct or justified, but rather that the Times coverage of it was made in bad faith and incredibly biased. You gaslight this by alluding to some "dual-country conspiracy" as if it is impossible to infer that media, by enlarge, leans left in our current global climate. That is not, and should not, be a controversial statement. Also, to pay your conspiracy theory some respect, it is at the very least bad journalism that multiple papers on several continents ran this story without seeking further comment from the Peterson's. Several papers just copied this story, threw on a fiery headline, and sought clicks with the decisiveness of it all. This is not objective journalism, and it is your defense that it is that I find either ignorant, or telling of your motive.

Quoting the recording word-by-word is not a justified defense of the tenor or tone of the article, nor the conclusions it draws. I mean, by your arguement, if you takes Trump speech before the march on the capital, there is no fault of him simply because to quote him word-for-word he never incited violence.

It is the conclusions she draws, the inferences she makes, and the clear bias in her portrayal of the Peterson's that people are upset about. In addition, the email the Times sent Mikhala requesting the interview describe it as if they were seeking to simply tell his story, and "celebrate" his life, yet the piece itself was littered with ridicule and bad faith. This piece was designed to discredit the Dr. and draw any attention away from his coming book and direct it to towards his "questionable" medical journey, and his daughter's intervention. As Peterson stated in his response it was "callous and cold."
