Quads are also a lot more stable than a single rotor. I just don't see this as being all that useful if it requires nearly perfect weather conditions.

I wonder how long the battery lasts . . .

As someone who is Pro-Choice, I don't understand the PP hate. They provide a LOT of valuable services that have nothing to do with abortion. When we were poor students, my wife was able to get women's health services for dirt cheap or even free vs. $300+ elsewhere with no insurance.

If I had a nickel for every weird look I get from sentences beginning with, "I learned playing KSP. . ."

I have a tiny RC helicopter like that and the first thing you notice if you try to fly it outside is that a breeze so light that you can't even feel it will send the drone flying 50ft down the road before you can react. You would have to have pretty advanced auto-stabilization software to make this work well.

This reminds me of a joke:

That sucks. I'd say the main issue is failing to use hazard lights, not rescuing ducklings. Of course, if you rear-end something, it is nearly always your own fault from speeding, following too closely, not paying attention, etc. She did create a dangerous situation, but I hardly see this as a reason to ruin her…

Damn. This is exactly why I'm self-employed. I downright encourage my employees to stay/go home if they're sick, and I'm not even in the restaurant business. On the one hand, I'm not an asshole, and I understand that if I take good care of my people, they'll return the favor. On the other, from a completely…

I don't disagree, but a lot of posters on Jez cry "Victim Blaming" the second you suggest that women can take steps to protect themselves. It needs to be part of the overall solution, but it definitely isn't the only solution. I think part of the problem is that people get stuck in the mindset of "It won't happen to…

Enough people aren't following the advice that it bears repeating. When I drive by our college campus, everyone I see has headphones in and their face buried in their phone. This is dangerous for many reasons like cars, muggers, rapists, etc. It is proven that if you have your head up, are aware of your…

If you are health conscious, check the nutrition label when comparing generics to brand name. I have found that our local private label brands tend to be significantly higher in sodium, MSG, HFCS, fats, and preservatives. They often taste the same or better, but for this reason, we still buy certain brand name…

It is a tough subject. Does rape culture exist? Yes. Can we fix it overnight? No. Can you start taking steps to protect yourself overnight? Absolutely.

They need to adopt Russia's animal control policies.

Avast is super bloated lately, not to mention that their 3rd party support is scamming people that call in. As far as I know, the virus engine is still OK though.

Stick to kefir. It is another russian-mongolian fermented milk drink and it is actually pretty good.

Are we talking about the same guy that parked a starship under water? That had to be one of the biggest "To hell with science!" ways to start off a movie that I've ever seen.

He'd have to try pretty dang hard to make it any worse at this point.

From someone who's tried kumis: Bleh!

Price shopping is great, but it can bite you with insurance. It's much more important to find someone who actually pays out claims without a fight. I'm looking at you Geico.

This is exactly why we are trying to hide my wife's pregnancy from her boss for as long as possible. Would it be polite to let them know right away? Yes. I've really appreciated employees who have been courteous enough to let me know so that I can start planning for the transition as early as I can. The difference…
