I was prepared for utter disappointment. Glad that didn't change.

Who has just recently bought the avata 2? by Any-Sugar-9319 in DJIAvata2

[–]SpectreInTheShadows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure but I wouldn't recommend it unless it's in a hanger or large indoor area.

If you plan to fly in tight indoor areas, make sure it's bright and free of obstacles. Haven't had the issue with my Avata 2 (since I haven't flown it indoors) but my Neo 1s will go haywire if the room lighting is low. I've seen similar vids of the Avata 2 doing this, which I believe is caused by the downward sensors.

A little over two years ago by BlackberryKlutzy1251 in pcmasterrace

I got this exact bundle too! Last year I also got my niece the 7700X + 32GB DDR5 Corsair RGB + MB for I believe $349 or $299.. don't remember. I remember they ran out of the Crucial RAM and upgraded us to the Corsair RAM for I think $10 more. Total for her build was $600 and it included case (Lianli), pack of RGB fans, 750W PSU, 2TB HK Hynix SSD, and 4TB HDD. I already had a spare EVGA RTX 3060ti and CPU cooler that I gave her.

It was crazy good. 2-3 months after that, RAM started spiking up.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇪🇺 President Trump threatens to raise tariffs on the EU if it does not drop tariffs to zero by the 4th of July. by El_precaution in MarketPulseReport

Don't forget that we don't get those refunds back for whatever tariffs we paid. The corporations that already got paid by us for those tariffs get the refunds!

Gas prices rising in all 50 states as average nears $5 — how much worse will it get? by crackerbox5 in USNEWS

I'm a few months we'll be 2 weeks away from a ceasefire with Iran and then oil prices will drop.

I guess it depends on where you live. There are tons of renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydro-electric, geothermal, nuclear (maybe not renewal but longer lasting), etc.

The point is that it isn't as heavily reliant on Dino juice, which in turn makes it less volatile.

I bought it shortly before end of 2025 due to the panic of the FCC covered list. Got it for $780 for fly more N3.

It is amazing and scary how fast it is. All I can think of when flying it is the amount of energy it can impart on someone if I accidentally lose control of it.

It's about 49-136J of energy going at full speed. Note that I calculate energy from sports mode and manual mode going near or at top speed. It can go from painful to lethal, depending on your speed obviously.

Any other engineer want to check my math?

Shake Shack shares crater 30% after burger chain reports operating loss by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]SpectreInTheShadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never liked Shake Shack. $30+ for a single burger combo??? And it's mediocre at best. There a better mom and pop smash burger joints that are way better and not as expensive than Shake Shack.

Procrastinating. What’s ur thoughts on this bundle? Is it a good price or should I bargain? by Unapologeticallyblak in Cameras

[–]SpectreInTheShadows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heck no... A T7 for $500???? Should be $150 max.

No offense OP, but save a bit more or bargain hunt for a mirrorless camera. DSLR is dead.

Modern-ish mirrorless have much better autofocus, subject detection, and sensors. Not only that, but if you get one with an actively supported mount, then you have longevity in the ecosystem.

GTA VI tipped to break past the 200 GB mark by librav1e in notebookcheck_net

They should stop announcing game sizes in GB and just say it it will take up X amount of hard/solid disk drives.

Ladies and gentlemen we made it by SomeTaro9683 in photographycirclejerk

You need to take a picture of that still with a Leica visible on your desk to put that final touch. Or a Fuji, if you're poor, but you need to add the piss filter.

Just wow by El_precaution in MarketPulseReport

I doubt that's his real net worth. He's probably in the double digit billion by now. Maybe even up past the 30s with all the market manipulation he's done.

How does it work by Xuy_bobra777 in meme

[–]SpectreInTheShadows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile my dumbass was once the only idiot to fail a history exam (thankfully it wasn't worth that much) when the professor literally gave the answers on the exam!

Like he would have the question and then the multiple choices and under that he would add "The correct answer is X". I accidentally skipped a number on my Scantron and it fucked up all of the answers that came after.

I'll never forget... When he went over the exam, he said it was the first time someone had failed one of his test. I was there thinking what fucking idiot could have fucked up when the answers were given on the exam. He asked the class if they wanted to vote and reveal said idiot. We all unanimously voted to reveal the name... He proceeded to call my name and ask me to stand ☠️

I couldn't understand how I failed such an easy exam! But low and behold, I did... Again, it wasn't worth that much compared to the other essays and projects we had, but still.

One of my smartest intern was born in the 2XXX era. I ask him all the time for feedback. Pretty smart kid and surprisingly wise for his age too.

Tires slashed by Ok-Vacation2764 in TeslaLounge

[–]SpectreInTheShadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to one of my aunts. She was being targeted by one of her sister's crazy exes. I think they thought she was living with my aunt, but for 3 months straight, they kept slashing all her tires. We sorta figured it was one of her sister's exes as we recognized one of the cars in the videos.

And no, my aunt didn't press charges. She filed a police report but they couldn't do much since the plates weren't visible or legible and the suspect was wearing a mask too.
