@phendrick Hell, if you throw a brick into that thing you’ll get unprecedented range and probably won’t get your brick back. Or hopefully not at 120mph.
@revloki@OldCatLady@yakkoTDI@cenglad0 and anyone else in Florida, Georgia and others in c the areas to get the high winds but not the hurricane part. Please stay safe. @OldCatLady I thought you were packing up the cats and vacating?
Also, anyone in the path of Hurricane Jose- hope it continues to die down even further so you don’t get the wind/water damage. I rode out a hurricane a long time ago and it wasn’t fun during or the week and a half after. I truly worry about y’all every night and sincerely hope you’re okay.
@WTFsunshine I was going to flee, but every motel in the state of GA was full. Then it jogged west, lost some oomph, and took Jax out of the cone, and I decided to stay home. Last night it swerved east, and Jax got some serious rain. I just filed an insurance claim for damage to my roof, but we only lost power for a few minutes. I’m fine, but others aren’t. Thanks so much for being concerned. Details are in the Fuck Off Irma thread.
@OldCatLady Damn Irma. I knew where you were because of the exchange and @cengland0 gave a rough idea as to where he is so I was monitoring it on www.hurricanes.gov. Hope your insurance company comes through quickly. I’m glad you’re safe and I’ll go to the thread.
@yakkoTDI I was thinking something similar about the Harvey flooding here in Houston, but there’s plenty of drone footage with higher resolution optics.
Although… it might be fun in the office until HSSE gets wind of it.
@cengland0 Sorry, I suffer from too much tersetosterone esp. when typing on a phone. The write-up does not mention silicone ice trays, but silicon ice trays.
@cinoclav Or basically any good whiskey stone set… My wife has a semi-permanent sanction against me entering a WS, because our monthly budgets go out the window once I go in that door
@thomasaelliott Nah, same package size as the cx 10 w/camera. Now that they squeezed a transmitter in there, I bet the actual fly time is less than a non camera cx 10. for 640x480, definite meh.
@dave But you haven’t fixed ‘it’ yet! My house is blowing away, and trees are down, and this is driving me insane. Something just went thump on my roof. Please fix ‘it’!
Kudos to whoever came up with the basic design of this drone and then apparently managed to license and/or sell said design to a hundred fucking companies who now seemingly can’t give the damn things away, hence why another one of 'em shows up here bout once a week.
Meh, I cannot believe you dropped a joke picture of Irma WHILE the f*ing storm is pissing all over some of your best mehtizens! And I thought my sense of humor blew.
@mehcuda67 I honestly did debate this. I am hoping everyone in Florida and nearby stays safe and out of danger. I ended up keeping the pic in, thinking a little ridiculousness can sometimes help in crappy situations.
@poproxyThat reminds me where’s my c@ndy, my h@ts, my sh@des & all that cr@p, hey, I’m a poet & don’t know it,and frankly, baby, I don’t give a damn!!¡
@dave A link to all slash commands would be helpful for both new and some older users. I have searched under the community search section and I’ve gotten a lot of them but I know there are more out there. I visit on a tablet so I can only see some of the commands. Just a suggestion- but it would be helpful I think- or maybe it’s just my inadequacy.
I realized that I’ve not been using my VMP and thus wasting the $5 per month, so
/giphy nonchalant-cultured-stamp
though I’m not sure that spending $30 for this wasn’t also a waste. However, a neighbor and I were just talking about using a drone to check our gutters for leaves, so I couldn’t resist.
This better be as good as you all say. Hell it better be even better than you said. Carrying and dropping stink bombs on my neighbours is precision work.
This was the one I got in my Fuko, complete with everything but the drone itself. So I have all these spare parts. Not tempted enough to get this, but if someone needs an extra controller or whatever, I’m your guy.
@KwadGuy I really like Fakespot. I use them all the time. But in this case, it’s totally bizarre. It would mean that not only all the 5-star, 4-star, and 3-star reviews were fake, but even all the 2-star and 10% of the 1-star were fake. What sense does that make?
I’m strapping a gopro on a kite with a huge ass amount of string, because, you know, I wanna be green. But I cant seem to run more that 1/4 mile without a series of heart attacks.
I got this so I could contribute to a holiday charity raffle. I don’t think people around me are quite in the position to be drone connoiseurs, so I think this will at least raise the raffle up a good… 30 bucks.
Got mine. Doesn’t work…tried everything…found several with the same problem on YouTube…on day number 3 waiting to hear back from their tech support. $30 paperweight
Got mine, ran it into my office mates, and drew blood (allegedly)…purpose served. The controls are a bit finicky, though the app seems to make a better controller.
Mine works, but once the battery dies it will stop and I can’t recharge as I don’t know how to get a usb charging cable. The only things I got were the controller and copter. Not sure why.

@rileyper Fly this drone into Irma – get unprecedented range – but probably not your drone back.
@phendrick Hell, if you throw a brick into that thing you’ll get unprecedented range and probably won’t get your brick back. Or hopefully not at 120mph.
@mehcuda67 or probarly the hurricane will just throw it back at you… ouch.
Wow that irma pic is savage as fuck
@asherwitt I’m in Florida and can confirm it sucks.
@revloki So am I. So can I. Apparently there will be no sleep tonight; rain coming sideways against windows is noise. Wait, what was that thump?
@asherwitt Lit
@ILikeMeh Well, lit for now. But the power will eventually go out and I’ll have to fire up my amazon-special generator.

Am I the first to notice that MOTA is “atom” backwards?
@lljk Probably not the first. A quick search found a post from 2005.
Baby arm killed by Irma.
Also means marijuana. Just sayin

@JohnMorris “Please do not fly: If you are impaired…” Well that’s half the point of this thing. Tempted to cancel my order!
I want one, but I already have so many drones that I don’t fly…
VGA resolution bahhhh.
@Brasssong I remember when porn was only available in 480i
@ILikeMeh Get off my lawn!
Kids these days just don’t appreciate fine artisinal ASCII porn from a dot matrix printer on greenbar.
Should have sold this a few weeks ago. I could have used it to watch Irma pass by my condo.

Silicon ice trays?
@sligett Yes. What’s wrong with that. They are very popular. Easy to get the cubes out compared to plastic or metal.
@sligett ice cube density doubles approximately every 18 months.
@cengland0 Sorry, I suffer from too much tersetosterone esp. when typing on a phone. The write-up does not mention silicone ice trays, but silicon ice trays.
@djslack Tell me Moore.
@sligett Si
@cengland0 As a connoisseur of fine bonded bourbons, silicon round ball molds are the hot deal now.

Jenga blocks are much less universal size comparators than seltzer cans or standard bananas.
@djslack Are you asking for Jenga block standards? You’ll need to issue a JBS RFC for that.
these remind me of the cheerson cx 10 s or whatever the name was, these look bigger and better though.
@thomasaelliott Nah, same package size as the cx 10 w/camera. Now that they squeezed a transmitter in there, I bet the actual fly time is less than a non camera cx 10. for 640x480, definite meh.
I can’t stand it. You’re missing an ‘it’. Please fix it. It’s driving me mad. 'or just look at ******* while it hovers’ needs another 'it’ after ‘at’.
@OldCatLady All right, you can rest easy now.
@dave But you haven’t fixed ‘it’ yet! My house is blowing away, and trees are down, and this is driving me insane. Something just went thump on my roof. Please fix ‘it’!
Kudos to whoever came up with the basic design of this drone and then apparently managed to license and/or sell said design to a hundred fucking companies who now seemingly can’t give the damn things away, hence why another one of 'em shows up here bout once a week.
@nogoodwithnames Think all the Chinese manufacturers pay license fees … ?
What’s even the point of dipping dots without banana split
@munboy 1) First thing I’m going to do is put a cup holder on this thing.
2) Most bed-making drones are too noisy.
Deliver me some Dippin’ Dots now.
Where my damn Dippin’ Dots?
I can’t wait on the future. Don’t even drone on about it.
Meh, I cannot believe you dropped a joke picture of Irma WHILE the f*ing storm is pissing all over some of your best mehtizens! And I thought my sense of humor blew.

@mehcuda67 I didn’t think the pic was in poor taste but then I’m kinda weird. When is it too soon to joke about tragedy:
When humor stops being funny
@dave No worries Dave, Dave, my mind is going I can feel it.
Does this come packed in sharp objects or melted candy?
@poproxy asking the important questions
@poproxy Yes please, I would like my drone delivered in a syrupy mass of vile candy-corn flavored goo!
@mehcuda67 with embedded shards of broken wine glass…
@poproxyThat reminds me where’s my c@ndy, my h@ts, my sh@des & all that cr@p, hey, I’m a poet & don’t know it,and frankly, baby, I don’t give a damn!!¡
@poproxy my melty candy wasn’t melty, but at least the knife it was packed in came sharp.
what the hell… if it doesn’t work to check my roof without me having to climb up there, I can always drop it in a bucket and make margaritas in it.

@baqui63 damnit, seems like a logical use. I’ll wait until morning to see if it’s still a good idea when I’m not tired. May have to buy.
@MrMark I live in Florida so later today, I might not have any gutters – or a roof.
@baqui63 you’d better be a good pilot then! this thing only gives you 4-5 mins flying time. Small drone=small battery!
Not going to GetDat JetJat.
This records in .4k!
FPV? Full Pervert View? Is this for peeping toms?
@jsh139 literally all commercial drones are. It’s the industry’s bit secret.
Does it come with instructions; I don’t believe I can Fly?¿
So what use is the 3D mode when there is only one camera? And it’s crappy resolution?

FakeSpot gives this an F with an amazing 92.7% fake reviews.
In other words, the very negative reviews are likely the only real ones.
Even at $30, no way.
@KwadGuy There are always the cheap(ish) Syma X5 or X8© drone models, if you want something to use an entry-level hobbyist-grade flight experience. Having flown the gamut, from little 2" vending machine prizes to DJI’s latest Mavic and Phantom 4 models, I’d vouch for the value in a $30-50 Syma, or even the pricier $75-100 ones.
@KwadGuy I really like Fakespot. I use them all the time. But in this case, it’s totally bizarre. It would mean that not only all the 5-star, 4-star, and 3-star reviews were fake, but even all the 2-star and 10% of the 1-star were fake. What sense does that make?
I always thought that sufficiently advanced magic could be thought of as technology…
