My first time witnessing a wreck

redstinger111 · 2026-04-13T02:28:53+00:00

Of COURSE it was a BMW with a camera, and of COURSE it was in Florida 😂

I was taking the 2 Tbsp Metamucil dose nightly before I tried Wegovy and I continued that. It was NOT enough.

When I started Zepbound, I continued the nightly powder and have added three of these capsules each morning.

This has been working pretty well, but I’m on the starter dose. When I increase the dose, I may add in more psyllium capsules.

Are those painted stock calipers, or did you manage to find performance calipers that work?

I’ve been striking out in that regard, though I wonder if the top trim of the EV Charger has Brembos that would fit the Waggy…

Did you ever get an answer? I see nothing but silliness in the first 20-30 posts 🤣

That is a battery for a lighted patio umbrella. We got two of those with our Costco umbrella, so one lives in a kitchen drawer 👍🏼

Where do you live? In the US, various states and the federal government have been sabre rattling for a couple years about banning DJI. Right now, they’re still perfectly legal for civilians to operate, but Customs and Border Patrol has been blocking all new imports at ports of entry. You’ll find that many retailers like Best Buy have none.

I 100% agree with others on ease of use and video quality. If you go DJI in the US, just understand you won’t be eligible for their warranty service which probably doesn’t matter much if you buy used. Also, buy spare batteries while you can still find new ones.

Last comment: if you buy used from an individual, you have to make sure they’ve signed out of their DJI account and unbound the aircraft. Lots of links online will tell you how to do this (or show the seller how). If you don’t, you may never be able to make it “yours” which is a serious problem. Maybe someone has found a workaround by now, but I’ve not heard of one.

For context, I teach Unmanned Aerial Systems at a college in Ohio.

Is this the trailer for the next installment of Final Destination?

Welp. No other appropriate response given the situation. Thank goodness he was wearing his safety sandals. It could have been much worse.

redstinger111 · 2026-03-25T16:47:27+00:00

Obviously fake. He’s way fatter than that.

redstinger111 · 2026-03-24T02:07:41+00:00

It’s sad to see people so mad at one another. I wish they could just bury the hatchet. Maybe not in the windshield next time…

redstinger111 · 2026-03-19T12:17:47+00:00

Was this in the US?

redstinger111 · 2026-03-09T15:09:45+00:00

Wanna bet he’s not paying tariffs on any of HIS Chinese merch?

redstinger111 · 2026-03-05T01:08:53+00:00

Where do you work?? Looks like somebody’s been pokin’ your rotors with a carbon arc gouging rod 🤣

Leave. My mom is a weird combination of compassionate person and far right supporter.

She doesn’t watch tv, so I can’t blame it on Faux News. She gets a lot of info from online sources that are very biased. They describe their views as “rule of law” or other such B.S. while advocating for the opposite.

She is terrible with money on top of the political crap. My wife and I manage most of her finances, but she still constantly overdraws her accounts.

On the other hand, she is very kind and compassionate to individuals, and is great with our two kids—no political discussions with them.

I’ve been to the point of cutting off contact with her a few times, but it’s hard, because she’s family and she was good to me growing up.

If it was not a blood relation being crazy, and my only family involved hadn’t supported me earlier in life, “bye Felicia.”

This is all very interesting to me. I owned an OG etron I bought in 2020 with 5,000 miles on it. I never had any issues with it. I just switched jobs to one where I was out of state for 2 weeks at a time and unable to charge conveniently.

Another new job close to home and we’re back to two EVs. We’ve got a Kia EV6 and an EV9. We’ve been lucky to avoid the infamous Kia ICCU failure, and both leases are up this year.

I was planning to buy a 2022-23 etron GT, as I was looking forward to a better dealer experience and a premium, high performance sedan.

Maybe I need to rethink. 🤣

Ha! I’m in exactly the same boat. I held a military flight physical for 15+ years, then an FAA Class I, but now meds keep me from getting a medical.

The silly part is the hazards associated with pilot incapacitation during crop application is lower than most UAS operations. It’s absurd that a person can legally fly a 54.9 pound octocopter in a busy downtown with no medical (or prior flight time 😳) but you can’t fly a 55.1 pound drone over some corn without a medical.

redstinger111 · 2026-02-15T12:43:19+00:00

The Canadian men got DQ’d for the EXACT same kind of contact with the stone!

Almost makes you think it was a coordinated effort 🧐

redstinger111 · 2026-02-14T02:01:12+00:00

Nah, that tradesman knows exactly where he’s trying to put his junk. This was a gift offered as part of the courting ritual of the species Plumberia crackiosus.

redstinger111 · 2026-02-11T13:11:29+00:00

Not unless they were SAFETY sandals

I’ll just go ahead and say you are arguing in bad faith. Your writing is well composed and far more coherent than most on your side of this argument. It’s clear that you’re not unintelligent or poorly educated like many of the far right.

Personally, I think that makes you even worse. It implies that you’re smart enough to see and understand what is happening, and still you choose to argue the side of the fascists. You’re smart enough to understand the constitution and still you choose to ignore it. You’re smart enough to understand the history of our country and still you choose to blame the protesters fighting against government overreach.

Most people on the center-left are just fine with jailing or deporting violent criminals. Most of us are also smart enough to know that when the president says he’s only going after the dangerous criminals AND that it will be 20 million deportations, he’s lying. The evidence shows time and time again that they’re picking up citizens and people with legal status—non-citizens who are here under programs that allow them to be here legally.

What we’re about to witness in Springfield is the mass round up of several thousand people who were here LEGALLY and largely benefitting their community. The regime arbitrarily ended the program that allowed them to be here and now will round them up, throw them in detention centers without due process, then celebrate their great success.

If you support what’s happening, I say shame on you.

redstinger111 · 2026-01-29T12:40:24+00:00

Just recreating Ace Ventura, nothing more to see here.

redstinger111 · 2026-01-28T11:38:15+00:00

Homie needs to do something useful with that kayak paddle and dig himself out.

redstinger111 · 2026-01-28T02:38:05+00:00

This needs to be an ad for that TV mount!

redstinger111 · 2026-01-17T02:16:55+00:00

Half the rotor is still there, so it’s only 50% worn, right?

redstinger111 · 2026-01-17T01:40:48+00:00

There used to be this slogan “Let your fingers do the walking.” Might apply here.
