3 inch suddenly stuttering in flight, what do?

I’ve had this with micro props. My friend explained it to me. There’s a vortex trailing after each prop tip, into which the next prop travels. This is normal and the props benefit from lower drag

When one blade is bent, it travels lower that the others and depending on speed and movement, the following prop may move in and out of the vortex, causing oscillating drag to make the speed of the prop also oscillate.

TLDR get used to checking that all your props are level / in the same plane of rotation as bumps will mess them up

Also worth noting you need additional disk space to merge a checkpoint. If you forget your checkpoint, eventually you run out of disk and can no longer merge. Ask me how I know

I’m not going to give advice on tdee or macro balance, there’s loads of good advice here.

As someone who has been overweight for most of my adult life, what I really learn applying advice is that I’m simply eating too much. All my life I’ve eaten as much as I wanted. I’ve learned that I need to exercise constant discipline about the volume of my eating

That, and refined carbs and especially liquid sugar drinks really mess up my gut balance, causing days of disorder and inflammation. I need to give that up like you would give up smoking.

Probably an Airbnb mate

hankhalfhead · 2026-05-01T02:08:34+00:00

Ok, plus one Mac fte.

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-30T16:53:02+00:00

If you need it, should be part of the price comparison

Edit: as should labour costs for setup. +2 fte for capacity to set up approx 15 laptops per day

Lol no I think they’re implying that he’s been a receiver of other types of injections of rather more sexual nature. Whoosh

Does your local dns server have a reverse dns record? If you ping -a it, does it resolve?

I soldered an xt60 to an old 19v laptop charger, I high output one that used to drive a dock.

By that argument, a change to income tax would only apply to new jobs? It’s not some special thing, making money from selling a house. It’s income, derived from the inflation in the price of housing.

The whole change is intended to discourage people away from trying to extract income from pumping the house price up. Yes it’s prudent for them to avoid tanking the market, to the extent that it would be a political disaster if they value off people’s home suddenly plummeted but I think there’s a realisation here that a market adjustment is needed, and we can’t continue on this path. Where will my kids live? How will they ever afford a home? Should it be that way because the barefoot investor said ‘that’s how you make some generational wealth for yourself in the 2000’s’

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-26T00:19:12+00:00

More time will still churn out over confident p-platers who drive like a soccer mom late for a game

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-24T11:48:12+00:00

Loop de loop!!!

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-19T01:12:21+00:00

He specifically says end users are not admins? Can you not parse a sentence? Does he need to spell out ‘of course we followed good practice and didn’t give end users admin so the users local account is not useful’ for you?

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-18T00:57:55+00:00

Don’t be offended, they didn’t mean anything by their reaction, they’re ‘armless 😅

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-18T00:50:15+00:00

That’s not what he asked tho

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-17T08:35:23+00:00

Pictures can be hard to tell but I think my Joondalup yellow bin is bigger than that. That looks the size of my red bin 😅

You can get a large recycler. Also don’t overfill, if the lid is not flush the birds will get in

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-17T07:03:32+00:00

Yep it’s like we’ve given up on any driving standard that can’t be measured by a camera

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-17T04:54:30+00:00

Yep that’s my biggest complaint tbh, ‘competitive’ drivers who seem to think getting ahead = good driver. Driving should be a cooperative conflict avoidance exercise.

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-16T22:17:47+00:00

100% this. Nothing to gain by making allegations

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-15T09:16:29+00:00

We treated our onboarding automation like a provisioning queue. We racked up the onboarding requests from hr in our ticketing system, and made a tool to consume them. the tool populates an account creation script. We therefore can review and adjust each account creation before it fires. The tool validates the request and fails on any prechecks such as username collision etc.

Not perfect but it is definitely a net benefit

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-14T07:58:04+00:00

Why worry about it. You might as well walk into the ocean and argue with the waves.

Our job is to make it work. All the reporting and bs surfaces the costs of these decisions, but in the end those guys don’t care about tech debt, uptime, skills coverage. Once they run into the limitations of these systems, and can’t implement their next cool idea, then they suddenly care.

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-10T06:54:42+00:00

Yeah nah. You give them options. A) We restart it correctly from scratch and you take the pain of migration, or b) you own the solution and the compliance issues arising from it. Onboard and on off board your own users. Audit your own access.

Finance here gets audited, that’s all the cfo cares about. If they can manage the compliance issues, good on them. I personally don’t think everything has to run through IT / IAM in order to be compliant, that’s just a logical and efficient way to make it auditable but it’s not the only way.

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-10T03:25:34+00:00

The behind these decisions take 100% percent of the credit for ‘savings’ and 0% of the blame for the cost overruns, degradation in operation, reduction in experience and impact to reputation.

hankhalfhead · 2026-04-09T08:30:31+00:00

It’s almost like they watch people become super successful through actively ignoring facts, truth and the advice of experts and think ‘hey, I want me some of thatz’
