Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.

Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.

  • I am someone who is interested in rc planes, multirotors, and automation in general. Not an expert by any measure, but have some experience.

    A hybrid quad-rotor/plane would be much better for this. They can VTOL, hover, do all the quadcopter stuff, but there’s still the usual plane motors to push the whole thing forward. The wings provide tons of lift and reduce the overall power usage of the system. Have it circle above an area until you don’t need the pop-up mesh network.

    I’ve seen a few content creators like rctestflight make full solar planes, running ardupilot to fly way point missions and circle around for as long as possible.

    Combining the two might reduce the overall efficiency when compared to either separately, I imagine the extra grams from the mesh radios would still allow for very long flight times.

    So theoretically you should be able to toss a couple out that can circle overhead and act as super long line-of-sight relays and provide coverage over a huge area, all of which couod be deployed and packed up in minutes.

    For my regular headphones, not much. I can use the buttons on them to cycle through sound modes (no modification, sound canceling, and external mics) as well as the normal things like switch volumes, tracks etc.

    Once I got the update, I deleted the app and got an older one. If they make it mandatory somehow, I’ll just not use the app and get different brand headphones when these break.




  • it was a guarantee to:

    respect Ukraine’s territory (which Russia vialoted, the US didn’t)
    
    bring any violations to the UN security council (which was done, but with Russia having veto power, useless)
    

    Most people I speak to have the impression that any attack on Ukraine meant the US would jump into full scale war mode to defend them. Honestly I wish it were. At least then it would have been harder for the Biden administration to essentially ignore.

    “here’s a bunch of old equipment, good luck buddy” was technically more than required, but grossly inadequate.





  • I imagined it more like “the show is now your real life” but definitely didn’t specify “not becoming an actor to play a part” but yeah.

    Iwas envisioning something like Firefly, the Expanse (but less dangerous) or literally any game where the plot involves you being on a small cargo-capable ship with light guns and tons of questionable illegal mods.

    Let’s be honest, I was picturing the Millennium Falcon…
