The USB Lithium series battery may be that cheap, but these things don’t run on those batteries. They run on the 18V One+ system, and the cheapest you can find a 18V One+ battery at Home Depot is $50 for a 1.5Ah battery...without a charger. The cheapest option with a charger is $90 for a 2Ah battery and charger.…

These almost certainly do not have Remote ID transmit capabilities. However, the new rule only applies to drones heavier than 250 grams (0.55 lbs). So if these are lighter than that (and with advertised flying times of 9 and 12 minutes, I’m guessing they don’t have a particularly heavy battery and thus could slide in…

“you’d know that one can paradoxically both support and not support the dropping of the bombs”

Nah, you don’t. I mean, your stance is patently devoid of any nuance. It’s the simplistic black and white, yes or no type stance you’d see out of a young child.  Jingoism at its finest.  

I think it’s less a lack of ethics, but more an acknowledgment that ethics are not set in stone. It’s easy to look back from our relatively peaceful time and decry the actions taken to end WW2, but we haven’t seen our entire countries razed or buried 400,000 sons/husbands/fathers. In that context, perhaps a quick, if…

I think you’re missing lots of the deeper discussion in that video. Even just the last little bit drawing distinction between the Empire of Japan and the people living on this cities is pretty poignant. It’s ok to acknowledge that what happened was a tragedy. I myself do, even though I agree that the bombs saved…

I don’t think any official documentation actually acknowledges the use of Schlicke’s infrared fuses in either of the two drops. It’s broadly reported they used a combination of a clock timer fuse, barometric pressure fuse, and radar fuse in those drops.  

It actually IS a binary state. It either exists or it doesn’t exist. Did CGI kill it? No. It didn’t. It changed what the final products look like, and what tools are used, but the industry still exists.

Say what now? No, that wasn’t even the subtext of the comment. Many wailed about CGI being the death knell for visual effects artists, but it wasn’t. That’s the whole point. There’s no subtext that the current setup is particularly good or non-exploitative or anything. It’s simply an acknowledgement that visual…

You’re not wrong. But you also missed the point. 

Mainlining doesn’t just mean playing the main storylines. In this case I read it as the drug use version of the term, where you’re injecting it straight into your veins. As in, they were all in on CP2077 and lived to play it for a while. 

You’re not wrong that it does a lot of things that have been done before. But a game doesn’t have to be groundbreaking to be good. And this one does shine in terms of the world you inhabit. It’s very much true to the franchise. 

Oh ye of little, er, too much faith. .

Chitter chatter chitter chatter

I’m not asking you to “conform”. You said how you use it. I told you how it will be interpreted. And whether you want to acknowledge it or not, interpretation is half of communication while “intent” makes up rather little of the remainder. What you choose to do with the info is up to you, I’m just telling you 95+% of…

Got it, so you’re a liberal “not my problem” person. I guess that’s slightly better?

We’d probably see it even more if it was Deadpool, he’s a sarcastic asshole to begin with.

No, you don’t have any control over how they interpret it, but I thought you might want to know how it’s being interpreted, because you definitely do have control over whether you continue using them in that manner or not.

It’s amazing how different some people’s experiences can be. Like I remember having a convo with someone lamenting killmonger being in like every deck they faced, when my experience was almost completely opposite and he’d only very rarely make an appearance. 

Yeah that doesn’t change anything. I’d still view it as a dick move, patronizing or sarcastic. I don’t think my take would be uncommon either. Just letting you know how your emotes are likely being interpreted, whether you intend them that way or not.
