  • Honestly I don’t mind reasonable data caps. Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.

    But with 4k streaming, downloading 100gb game updates on PS5, and YouTube basically constantly on in the background, I’ll hit the 1TB per month comcast limit in like 2 weeks. And that is just me, nevermind having any roommates at all.

    1TB just isn’t enough for the modern Internet.

    Yeah the cheapest I’d ever recommend anyone go is probably about $100 for one with an analog video signal.

    HDZero video with ExpressLRS control link is the new meta though. Off the shelf drones with this setup start around $180 or so now, not including the controller or goggles.

    If anyone is looking at getting into the hobby, I’d recommend getting the EMAX tinyhawk 3 kit to start. It comes with everything for about $270.

    In South Korea, the soldiers have a curfew imposed by the base and Korean government because of the high frequency of rape.

    My personal experience with soldiers in South Korea and Japan have been… Mostly negative. They are arrogant shitheads most of the time.

    All of that said, I understand that isn’t a US policy issue, more than a military culture issue.




  • Met a girl while being an English teacher in China. She was originally from New York. She had a very distinctive voice, very hard to forget.

    Fast forward 10 years. I’m at the Santa Monica Pier playing Pokemon Go with my brother. Suddenly, THAT VOICE. I’m like… No… That isn’t possible. I keep on walking.

    We reach the end of the pier, and turn around. And BOOM. There she is. We make eye contact, and are both like wtffff.

    Turns out she moved there to do a podcast or something.

    Anyway cool shit


  • Lolll soaking.

    Spot on though. The Mormon church has connections and infinite money, rivaling the Catholic Church in terms of wealth (and only increasing by the year). Their current estimated value is over 200 billion, in real estate, land, and investments. They own significant holdings in farmland all over the country including 1% of the entire landmass of Florida.

    Historically speaking, the church already went to war against the United States, and attempted to assassinate a governor (unsuccessfully). 1800’s Mormons were nuts.

    Obligatory note - I grew up Mormon. I don’t recommend joining the church. Their beliefs are objectively incorrect and oftentimes harmful. They have a cool history though.



  • I actually fly these things as a hobby 😅 it’s telemetry data sent directly from the drone. The reason they are always low battery is probably because they fly them pretty far out to avoid getting detected and killed.

    Once the battery hits 3.2V or so, you can really start feeling it in how the drone flies. It just doesn’t have the power draw remaining for much else. Usually you land at that point to avoid destroying the battery, but in this case… You can fly it down to 2.8ish and still be in the air, but it won’t like it and the battery will be damaged.
