I didn't think much of drones till I saw charpu's vids

bazh · « **Reply #301 on:** Sat, 25 July 2015, 09:59:30 »

I tried this, end up getting it flying up for like to the top of a tree then get it down, not mine so I was afraid if I kept going further it would crash (which would definitely happen if I wasn't stop), then I tried the beginner friendlier Phantom 2, kinda like it and get use to well, but 5 minutes later I lost directions of the drone and it crash to a tree again, luckily only break down a plastic leg, guess I'm not meant to play drones sadly.

Actually I think that's a quite normal experience, tons of people crash especially when starting out. I'd say more often than not, or pretty close

My friend got a teacher job for elementary-high school building and programing LEGO and FTC robots, this also includes drones. SO maybe in 30 years drones will be as common as personal computers :|

From what I've seen it's sometimes overconfidence due to the inherent stability combined with loss of orientation. It's not easy to always put yourself "in the cockpit" when it's heading sideways for a tree with the front facing you.

I (am learning to) fly RC heli's. Still haven't mastered side-in and nose-in orientations (I can hover left side in pretty well, but right and nose I can only do for a few seconds). That stuff is HARD for me. Seems to come much more naturally to some people, though. I can do it easily enough with an RC car, so maybe it's just a matter of the number of controls and axes.

Does this mean a reform of current bankruptcy laws for the upper class if he gets elected?

Now introducing Chapter 14 Bankruptcy. Just shout it out and you get to maintain all your assets and money without forfeiting anything to your creditors or clients¹.

¹ Offer only valid if you make more than $1 million a year.

Regarding Trump–
It's not unusual for a candidate to ascend quickly to the top, especially if there are many unknowns. When there is a vacuum people are quick to fill the void with whatever is out there. As soon as more is is learned about them, the chamber's content is expelled and await the next hopeful for the process to suck in. Much like the 2012 Republican campaign, I predict the rise and fall of several candidates before they settle in on one. My guess is that as soon as Trump's popularity wanes a bit, he will drop out. I don't think he likes to be out of the limelight. That's my prediction but I'm usually wrong.

Technically he never went bankrupt, he just filed for corporate bankruptcy multiple times. So he keeps all his money but lets his company go under, which should fill all Americans who are worried about the economy with confidence.

How did the Republican shouting match go last night?

Serious question about Trump. What are his views on labor unions?

If voting could actually change something, it would be illegal.

There has been a continuous Republican assault on labor unions since Reagan and the air traffic controllers.

If they keep typing classes mandatory, then keyboards will be safe, because while NON-obvious to a beginner, the keyboard is superior in terms of accuracy, and therefore speeeeed.. because it requires less cleanup.
