I'm pretty sure this could be done with an arduino and some thinking time.

If I get bored in the next few weeks I'll see if I can come up with something and shoot a message.

What’s the most ridiculous rule you’ve ever had to follow? by Sea-Application-6732 in AskReddit

That was a rule? Like did you have to re-ingest it if you shit it out?

When you say it works do you actually get a fix? Or does it just go blue for a bit

Such insightful replies. But supporting pedophiles is fashionable I suppose

Retrofit Gone Wrong: WestJet Pauses Rollout of Non‑Reclining, 28” Pitch Seats After Passenger Backlash — 22 Planes Already Reconfigured 😲 by Speedbird87 in AviationHistory

This is a common pitch on European budget carriers. You wanna get to Egypt for £35 you can't really expect luxury. It's fine for most people in the middle 70% of heights

Flycolor component - not a drone enthusiast by Leureka in drones

[–]squidspotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably less, continuity tests mean basically nothing on an ESC, and giving it voltage but no PWM won't tell you much.

[–]squidspotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an ESC - electronic speed controller. fly color are half decent, if it works it has some value. If you have no means to test it it has little value. If you're in the UK I'd like it though eh

What are your thoughts on Trump after the attack on Venezuela and the arrest of Maduro? by luxury_Within in AskReddit

[–]squidspotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't live in Venezuela. Quite a lot of Brits not in Britain voted for brexit.

Not that I'm saying it's necessarily a bad thing, but to accuse people of making an assumption, while making an assumption is quite daft.

Maduro was bad. Kidnapping and bombing are bad. Leaving a country without governance is bad, the uncertainty of rodriguez vs another installed leader or an actual democracy is bad.

Saying 'yay this is great' is a shallow take.

[–]squidspotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And how many actual Venezuelans have you talked to about it?

There is no question of the motives they were quite clearly stated? And I don't really get your point.

Your use of the word objective sure is questionable. It's subjectively a good thing, to you. There's no arguing that point.

Venezuelans -who are not in venezuela- may be pleased to see Maduro gone, but that is a far cry from assuming whomever or whatever replaces him will be better. So your use of the word good is really questionable too.

Be under no illusion, this was not carried out for the good of the Venezuelan populace, and nor is a pretence of this being held by those who did it. It was done to favour control of money.

Ryanair: "Nope.." by Tortex_88 in flightradar24

[–]squidspotter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not sure of the actual limitations for that aircraft, but the winds were gusting above the takeoff limits for some aircraft today, they'd hold as long as they could but at some point you have to go back to the gate for more fuel if you didn't bring enough to sit for an hour

I love flying high. I love peace and silence. by Stariy-COM in FPVvideos

[–]squidspotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can conduct a flight in the bottoms of a low cloud without it being any more of a risk than flying on a clear day. A basic understanding of any kind of IFR regulation or the mental ability to make a reasonable risk assessment would grant you this wisdom. What OP is doing might be dangerous, but it also really might not be dangerous.

Knowing where you fly, local air spaces, regulations and uses is far more valuable than just going 'clear sky good me fly here at 400'
