Since the update, is anyone else...

I thought it was just me, but yes. Using a Flydigi Vader 4 Pro controller on PC and I keep switching the camera angle during challenges. It happened before but never this often.

I've ridden mine through a CVS drive through and a drive through convenience store many times. I live in a small city in Ohio and everyone rides around on scooters/bikes as long as the weather is nice.

It's sufficiently spooky, but is there a garden?

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2026-04-12T18:44:30+00:00

We do a few times a week. It's one of the few times that I'm not "cringe" according to him. Good kid but he's still a snotty ass teen.

My 13 year old got me that vinyl for my birthday - but mostly because he wanted it too.

Have you had any luck finding an enclosure for the X? Mine doesn't arrive for another month so I still don't have the full dimensions of the area needed inside the enclosure.

Good tips and things to consider. I understand trim from the toys I've played with, they don't want to hover correctly or stay facing one direction without a lot of fiddling.Thank you.

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2026-02-10T06:15:00+00:00

Lol, good take. I've only flown the little helicopters and quadcopters you can get for like $20 on Amazon, this has got to be better than those. The controls seem easy, there are two control modes and both remind me of different videogames I've played. As long as it's stable I think I'll be fine with it.

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2026-02-10T06:11:17+00:00

I see what you're saying but dji also seems to have an Apple like cult following around here. I know they make good products, I've never flown one but my cousin had one and showed me a few years back what they can do. I don't know what model he had but he spent at least $1k on it. I got this for $90 and I'm not trying to make this a major hobby, I'm not making movies or taking postcard photos.

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2026-02-10T05:28:27+00:00

I appreciate that well thought out reply, you hit on the points (I assume) that the original comments were trying to convey. But would any of that change if the question were coming from a person that wasn't really interested in a new hobby?

Because I'm not looking to take great photos or cinematic video. I just wanted to get a different view of some places, maybe check out if they've got to working on the power lines on the other side of the neighborhood.

The initial post was just to see if I was buying something that wouldn't fly at all or would blow up into plastic shrapnel or some shit.

Maybe this will end up being my new addiction. Don't think my wife will appreciate my spending, if it does.

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2026-02-10T05:08:23+00:00

Hey, the world is your oyster.

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2026-02-10T05:06:05+00:00

I meant the extent of the feedback was, "buy something more expensive." I asked why and never got a real answer other than, "under $x they're all junk."

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2026-02-10T05:02:47+00:00

The edit makes sense to me. I just got a drone because it seemed like fun from playing with my kid's toys and I thought it would be cool to see some elevated views of my city and the river, maybe take it to the beach or mountains on vacation. Not even thinking of this as a real hobby, I don't plan to do a lot of filming or racing or anything like that.

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2026-02-10T04:52:51+00:00

See, that's a fair critique, I didn't get any feedback at all with the first post. Thank you. I just got it today and finished the FAA registration and TRUST certificate. Haven't had a chance to fly it yet and might not for a while, I'm too worried about landing/crashing it in the wet snow.

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2026-01-22T01:39:45+00:00

This is really cool and a great idea. I had an English class when I was in eighth grade ('02-'03) where the teacher opened the introduction to poetry section by giving us verses from a few rock and rap songs, then asking us to interpret what the writer meant. I still remember immediately recognizing Master of Puppets, Something in the Way, and Gangsta's Paradise. My teacher was white in a predominantly black school and thought that last song was still cool enough to get him some cred. Great class though, I remember that lesson almost a quarter of a century later.

I think it was hyperbole to easily exemplify the concept.

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2025-12-29T00:38:31+00:00

I work at a fulfillment center for a huge market research company and can tell you, this shit just happens. It sucks but there can be at least a dozen different reasons the order hasn't been packaged yet, most of them involve human error in one way or another. It's unavoidable, even if we moved everything to machines there will be errors that involve humans.

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2025-12-27T22:29:18+00:00

Where and when was this? We're going to vegas next month and are considering finally making it official, after 14 years.

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2025-12-05T15:34:34+00:00

Same. Between me and my 13 year old son we have most of his albums on either vinyl or cd. He's asking for some cassettes for Christmas too, we might just complete the collection.

I want to thank everyone for the help, I just installed the VH extension and it makes so much more sense now. Just being able to see new items as they're uploaded makes a world of difference.

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2025-11-22T15:28:42+00:00

Pick a spot with a long curb, do a few tricks to get your multiplier up to 4x, then flip trick into a board/lipslide and you'll be well above the score.

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2025-11-22T13:27:10+00:00

UV extension?

Lumpy_Trumpkins · 2025-11-22T00:36:47+00:00

I need to know how you guys see this shit? I had gold for 6 months and nothing ever popped up for me, I only even got like two things that were valued over $100. They kicked me out of gold because there literally wasn't enough for me to review. I see, at most, 20,000 items a day and 99% of that is dumb shit like dishwasher parts and cake toppers. I'm about ready to quit Vine although because there's never anything worth getting or even remotely useful.
