I can’t imagine calling someone to tell them what they can and can’t wear.

I am actually doing fairly well, although the more I think about it the more I think I’m trans, so that’s new and interesting. I’m sure everyone is shocked that a they/them is not cis.

Do you want a camera drone (something that can hover and take good video) or an fpv drone (the cool goggles and tricks)? If you want to film protests and the like, a camera drone is really what you want. There’s really nothing that compares to dji. They sell refurb units cheaper, and are the way to go in my opinion. I think the mini 3 is a fantastic drone and you really can’t go wrong with it (assuming you don’t want an fpv drone).

Do fpv and bigger camera drones share a skillset?

camera drones like the mini 3 don’t really have a skillset tbh. You obviously need to remember what the two sticks do, but they are very stable in flight. If you go slow its easy. I let children fly my drone with no issue. If you can snag a mini 3 pro instead, they have built in obstacle avoidance in the front and back. So if you’re flying forward, you really can’t hit anything (watch out for wires though!).

If I already have a transmitter, is that a cost I can save or do drones generally come with their own?

If you build your own fpv drone you might be able to reuse it, even a lot of kits have a bring your own controller option. Anything dji should come with a controller however.

flying a drone downtown is probably super duper illegal

It depends on where you live, I know some big cities that you can fly over. The faa controls where you can fly a drone over, there’s a map somewhere with the no fly zones. Cities can’t control where you fly, but can control where you pilot from (and the faa requires a line of sight). Even if it is illegal I’d probably stay separate from the protest and you’ll probably be fine. Most cops are actually pretty okay with drones, just be prepared to bring it back down. You’re a hobbyist who just likes drones and didn’t know the cities laws. If you really want to be in a lead vehicle, you might want to consider getting a go pro and some kind of really long pole, I’ve seen people take great video that way and you give pigs a lot less ammo.

But definitely be careful about crowds, you really aren’t supposed to fly over them and I imagine they’d be a lot more upset if you were. There’s always other stuff to fly over though.

the new Remote ID rules

Remote ID only applies if the drone weighs over 249 grams. The mini 3 (with the smaller, default batteries) is under this limit, as will a lot of ciniwoop fpv drones if you go that route.

I haven’t built a drone before, but it is pretty standard for fpv drones and not an issue. There’s videos on youtube, it does not look hard.

I feel this comment in my bones.

If they aren’t fascists, sure. If they are, they should get the pit with all the other fascists.

Pretty sure lemmygrad has a minecraft server, if you want to play minecraft with some comrades.

Reading stories about how many animals there used to be just makes me weep. Humanity has destroyed the earth. So many animals just… gone. I’m so sad for them. And, selfishly, that I’ll never get to see those things. The herds of buffalo, the rivers teeming, the skies full of birds. Its gone, forever. I hate what humans have done. Climate change will only continue to make this worse. Humanity is all all devouring sludge that has consumed the entire world. All resources that can be used, will be. I know you all will try and pin this solely on capitalism, but is it really? People want comfort. They want things that make their brain light up. I know I do. Honestly, I think any life form would eventually run into this problem. Consuming and expanding are what life is “designed” for. Humans are just the best at it.

Damn I wish I was her

Even more OOTL, what happened in tiananmen square?

From this angle he looks a bit like a peanuts character

At first I thought Neuman sounded familiar, but after looking it up I have no idea who that is. Must be an old person thing.

I’d agree with ColonelKataffy, 1-12 are the good ones imo. The show definitely starts changing towards the end of those seasons but its still good. Just different from season 2/3.

I really enjoy the Mr Burns episodes. Three eyes on every fish, bart gets hit by a car, Burns’ Heir, Homer The Smithers, Mountain Of Madness, and The Old Man And The Lisa. (there are more but those are just the ones I can think of right now)

As far as ones outside of those seasons I’d consider grabbing the treehouse of horror episodes, they stay better for longer imo and from what I’ve heard even modern Simpsons has good treehouse episodes sometimes. There’s also some sideshow bob episodes after season 12 iirc so if you get involved with that plot line you might want to grab those too.

Also grab the movie, its worth a watch.

I don’t remember their names, but the two old guys in the balcony.

I didn’t mean to be rude. That’s how he labels himself and I don’t know enough about his beliefs or anarchism to make a judgment.
