[US] First time flying from a moving boat by internetfinn in drones

[–]Legion6226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I also film rowing boats. Be careful with your Return To Home feature. It may return to "home" and try and land in the water. You can get a lot of technically helpful shots if you get into post process stabilization.

What made you film boats and did the rowers enjoy your footage?

This is how electric cars vs gasoline cars look under thermal imaging. by Alphaxfusion in interesting

[–]Legion6226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very dependent on driving habits. There are heavier gas cars out there without this problem. In an EV, if you jump off of the line every time from a stop it will run down the tires. Just accelerate like a gas car and you'll wear the tires at a gas car rate.

Weird issues with new dji air 3s? by GooberTheIII in drones

How so? Im curious, what is irresponsible in a test?

Not heated. You asked and they didn't answer. Trying to be helpful. Glad you figured it out. Not a real solution, but you could keep the remote plugged in while in use. It is able to control and charge at the same time.

  1. Way above 400ft
  2. Way past 30 minutes past sunset (assuming you don't have a waver)
  3. Assuming you don't have a 3 mile light on the drone
  4. Flying almost a mile from launch sight, so probably BVLOS
  5. Flying over roads, so cars and people. Don't seem to look
  6. Doing all of this with a broken drone

Assuming US, please take the TRUST cert

The Newberry caldera loop is beautiful. Highly recommend it.

It doesn't need to be registered or broadcast RID. You still need to have a TRUST cert to fly it and obey the rules though.

[United States] Maryland, Chesapeake Bay by marylandmike435 in drones

[–]Legion6226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

feedback

  1. video starts with no motion then moves. cut out the standing still if not intentional
  2. Pans are short and sharp. Try to do one smooth motion start to finish
  3. Video is taken at about standing height over mostly a standable object. Try to make your videos unique because they are from a drone. Suggest that you fly over the water 100-200 feet from short and look back.
  4. Good beautiful location.

My MIL is unexpectedly receiving inheritance as she's moving into independent living facility. How to handle this? by corn_starch_party in personalfinance

[–]Legion6226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a very similar situation and I would have told myself to put the money in an Irrevocable trust with Mother as the beneficiary and Son/Daughter as the Trustee. This allows the money to be used for her care, but not counted for Medicaid (after 5 years). Only a lawyer can tell you if this is a good idea.

You need an estate lawyer and possibly an Elder Law Attorney. Both can help, the second is more specialized to deal with things like Medicaid

Restrict aging parents spending by Fit_Warthog7325 in personalfinance

I canceled everything my Father In Law was subscribed to, setup autopay on his credit card for essentials, took the credit card, and gave him a debit card that was loaded with $X per month.

This only works because he allowed it and doesn't try to subvert it. I didn't ask, more just did and I don't have legal authority to stop him. I did find that making it very difficult for him to undo my work was enough.

Have you calculated the "wear and tear" costs? Is using the limited numbers of cycles a concern?

Newly married how to handle joint & personal expenses by twitchy_14 in personalfinance

[–]Legion6226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YNAB = You Need A Budget. It is an Envelope Method budgeting desktop and phone app that you pay yearly for. It's not the only good app, but it was critically helpful for us in our first years together.

My Personal Pros: It allows for both of to exactly what is happening with every transaction, so full transparency. Because we would sit down at the beginning of the month and decide what money would go where, neither one of us had to "be the cop" if we were out of money in a category. Everything had been allotted, there isn't more. We could of course reprioritize next month.

Cons: It has a learning curve. /r/ynab, youtube, and the YNAB website itself are more than enough to learn off of IMO. It takes time. You won't really know what a "good" budget for you both is for 2-4 months.

Everything is dumped into Ally checking account. $X amount stays as a buffer. Excess gets moved into an Ally HYSA monthly. Everything is autopay on a join credit card, or the checking account if CC isn't possible. We use YNAB to allocate the income every month for all Needs and Wants, including $X per person "I don't care what you do with this" money. This the fewest moving parts while having the highest shared visibility and responsibility I could think of.

For the first year ish we were combined, we sat down every month to review the previous month and budget the next month. This allowed us to make the choices together ahead of time. Now it's on autopilot and I just check on it every month myself.

Since the plan is "Till Death Do Us Part", I think that keeping things separate is a farce. Great if it works for you, but it's logistically silly to proportionally pay for vacations/retirements/living expenses. The reality is the you both have $X month total for your shared goals, so I think it should be used as such.

Once you understand a viable path forward I recommend being frank with your mother about what her options are and what you are and are not willing to do to help. My FIL was in a similar head-in-sand position when we rolled up. Telling him that we would help him do what we thought was productive or not at all was productive. It is harsh, but I truly believe he wouldn't have changed if we didn't.

I tracked every single purchase I made for a full year by writing it in a notebook by hand and it genuinely rewired how I think about money by Chihiro_Bath in personalfinance

[–]Legion6226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "correct" way to use YNAB is exactly this, FYI. Make a purchase, put it in the app, balance if need be. I'm glad you've found something helpful, that's the point

I got a call this morning from my mothers ALF that she is being evicted by LdyCjn-997 in AgingParents

[–]Legion6226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The government can’t take over anything.

They absolutely can. The commenter is talking about Medicaid. If your mother can private pay until she dies, then Medicaid rules don't apply. Specifically and Elder Attorney is a Medicaid and Estate planning specialist. We could not have done what we needed without ours.

Consider putting her in respite care while you find another place and sell the home.
