There's plenty of other ways to teach that...I'll bet kids who worked during the industrial revolution had pretty good coordination, too, but we're not teaching that in schools
(sorry if they go into this, I can't watch the video right now but I know about alternative prop designs on quads)
These things are so awesome for steady, predictable trips but hey lose a lot of appeal for hobbyists because they're more expensive, fragile, and finicky. And that's made worse by sizing them down for FPV quads. Don't want to snap a blade when you're mid-air and especially not when you're navigating to your target
I mostly watch British shows. But you're kind of right about the last part, the last non-english show I watched was the second season of Kongen Befaler and I feel like that doesn't count.
So, does the US not make some of the best TV shows? Or are you only aware of the sitcoms and reality shows?
I'm jumping on the dog pile to tell you to watch Andor. I am NOT a Star Wars guy but I got talked into this one by a friend who knows my general distaste for the franchise.
It's fantastic, I really have nothing bad to say about it. It's not campy like Star Wars, it doesn't feel rushed, and the stakes a lot more visceral.
It's also extremely relevant in 2026
Nemik's manifesto would be my pick, too, mainly because it resonated with me when I was feeling helpless about the world
Tap for spoiler
There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.
Remember this, Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause.
Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.
Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.
Remember this: Try.
I'll bet it's more like
1 in 5 boys either knows someone their age who delusionally thinks they're in a relationship with a chatbot, knows someone who claims they're dating a chatbot as a joke, or is just fucking around
There's a non-insignificant chance the boys they surveyed weren't taking it seriously. "Oh yeah, I totally know someone dating a chatbot"
Those pearls you're clutching must feel so good right now
You're already fucked, but your opiates of shitty TV, pissy beer, fast food and the satisfaction that you seem to enjoy when you see people who are really suffering seem to placate you
My god, update your stereotypes. There are SOOO many things to shit in the US for but these make you look uncultured.
The US makes some of the best TV in the world. And unless you've got state run media, your country is full of the same trash TV.
I see you're ignorant to the local breweries all across the country. Do you shit on dutch beer because of Heineken, too?
The fast food thing has some merit because yeah, it's trash. But American cuisine is as varied as all of Europe. Calling out fast food feels like a nitpick. You've got lazy fast food slobs in your country, too.
All of which really makes the last part seem undeservedly arrogant
Cursed as in occult origins, not cursed as in bad luck
I have yet to see anything like that...Are these Americans threatening to leave the fediverse in the room with us now?
Why would I want an ambassador? I want Israel on the designated terrorists list
I have no idea where to put it but I couldn't say no
I've been taking my plants to the kitchen to water/drain 1-2 pots at a time but....I may or may not have purchased 10 more plants yesterday and that's a lot of back and forth. They're mostly in my foyer which is a half level down.
I've been thinking about getting something I can keep in the garage (next to the foyer) and quickly set up/disassemble like this:
Anyone have any other suggestions or ideas?
Before this comment, I thought my anecdote of "I had this a few years ago and decided to just let whatever it was kill me" was too bleak to post
