Apparently people HAVE pushed Phantoms and similar drones to 10,000+ AGL but it’s pretty much a dedicated flight - go straight up and then race to descend before the battery dies. To me the likelihood of that happening to reach and linger in an aircraft’s flight path seems exceedingly low, but hey, infinite universe,…

At least as much damage as a large bird strike, or more if it’s a LARGE uav... at 9000 feet if it WAS a drone I don’t think we’re talking about your average DJI Phantom or something like that; it doesn’t even have to be a quad/multicopter though. There are plenty of RC aircraft that are better for high altitude…

The reports I read said they took evasive action to avoid hitting something that MAY have been a drone. They initially thought it was a balloon.

Also the fact that the AI doesn’t seem to really obey any physics as evidenced by the ‘67 Ford Falcon blasting ahead of me at 120-130mph in corners on a wet dirt road while I’m driving an all-wheel-drive Lambo Urus with rally tires.

I’m only a couple of weeks in but what’s getting to me is the fact that you have to return to a festival to switch cars for (most) events, which means you CAN’T just use your 4x4 monster beast for exploring and then hit a race and swap through your cars to see what fits best. Same for upgrading your vehicles. If…

I will volunteer that courier/expedite services CAN be useful in securing foreign visas. For example, getting a visa to travel from the US to China requires someone visiting their embassy/consulate, and everyone I know who makes that trip on a regular basis uses a service to simplify that process. I’ll be honest,…

If you’ve ever had the joy of showering in countries that don’t tend to have whole house water heaters, you’d avoid using the word “shocking” in describing a shower head.

I think in this context, monotonous doesn’t necessarily mean “boring.”

I believe this is THE key to crispy oven baked hot wings also.

Nothing about your Focus wagon is pretending to be outdoorsy or rugged so people can see how rugged and outdoorsy you are, so just GTFO.

Does this have to be the only process running on the RPi or can it be a multi use situation? I’ve got one that’s doing nothing but running piHole to block ads so I imagine it’s pretty underutilized.

The MkIV Supra was a turbocharged clown shoe.

For one thing it means the docking ports on all those modules have to not only seal the thing shut against air pressure, they need to hold everything together against their own generated gravity for the whole trip and for the acceleration and deceleration to the spinning state. ISS assembly points don’t have to do…

Yeah but one of the advantages of this is you might be able to make keto-safe nachos.

Yeah, it’s a narrow window that had a particular 30-pin iPod adapter supplied by BMW that plugged into both of those ports; some clever souls made a really spiffy bluetooth adapter that works for those cars (I think mostly pre-2010 or 2011, but that also includes a lot of Minis that share BMW electronics)

If you have one like the one in that photo which is probably a BMW (in which case several models WON’T support plugging an iPhone in directly through the USB port) I highly recommend dropping the coin on a Tune2Air bluetooth adapter... it’s the only thing I’ve ever seen that allows full access from the car’s controls…

You have a gift for logical fallacy. Have you considered working for a presidential candidate?
