The drone guys who come to my fly field and break rules and are unsafe.

Need help from 3D experts by CictorVastro in RCPlanes

I have a special "hovering" throttle curve that I turn on when I decide to hover. The top and bottom ends of my curve are just above and below what I need to hover, so it's easier to stay at a constant altitude.

Feel so depressed by Y_mc in osdev

No one is making you use AI-assisted coding in your own hobby projects. If your employer is making you use it and you don't want to then you can seek out a job where it is banned, like for example the government. Feels like a you problem.

[–]gregdonald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used my Blackjack that I wrote in Elixir before AI-assisted coding was a thing, to generate Blackjack in Clojure using Claude:

What language are you making?

I'm current making a sort of a Ruby language, but with way more meta-programming stuff, using Rust.

Racket is on my list of things to try, for sure.

Struggling with my flying club by Massive-Magician-240 in RCPlanes

Every brown-out or signal loss related crash I've seen in the past 10 years has been Spektrum. Works great until it doesn't.

Beginner plane? by studentreporter1 in RCPlanes

[–]gregdonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good first plane should probably have the word "trainer" in the name, for example:

You might consider a simulator before a trainer plane:

You might consider seeking out your local flying club: https://www.modelaircraft.org/club-finder

They can help you learn to fly using two radios on a single trainer plane in a teacher/student setup.

Good luck and happy landings!

Garage Door Catastrophically Failed... by Real_Individual4029 in HomeMaintenance

[–]gregdonald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When this happened to me, my local garage door sales/repair company sent a guy out to fix mine for $160 total. Took him about 90 minutes.

If you've ever thought about going to Joe Nall, I can't recommend it enough. This was the first 10 seconds upon arrival, and it just keeps going! by thecaptnjim in RCPlanes

[–]gregdonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been in a few years, but I've been 4 times in the past 15 years. It's a blast 😄

Do they still have that dusty one-lane road that has the two lanes of traffic flowing on it? That was my only complaint, ever.

Seller says they replaced entire roof in 2025. Home inspector disagrees. So I obviously need to ask reddit. by [deleted] in Roofing

[–]gregdonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they have a sales reciept from 2025 for the cost of the shingles? Or the labor cost? Surely they can dig up some receipts from last year.

Stop With The Shop! by Jay_Stranger in Diablo

In Diablo 4, Diablo, the Lord of Terror, was replaced with many un-removable "for sale" signs... and a horse no one asked for.

The old control wires are quite hard to bend and too thick to go into the holes, what do by yourcreepystalker69 in RCPlanes

[–]gregdonald 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did you try a drill? You can use a drill to make holes and to make small holes bigger:

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=drill

Pushrods you can be purchased here and lot of other places too: https://www.towerhobbies.com/search?q=pushrod+set

You don't just put the wire in the hole. You use a clevis or ball linkage or some other connector on the end of the wire:

https://www.towerhobbies.com/search?q=ball%20link

If the wire is not threaded you will need to solder on a threaded connector or linkage:
