nobodys lathing shit until i get my kv2bvm done, the turtle tanks are so close but theyre not quite doing it for me
i just wanted to point out that an exaggerated taiwanese accent is generally perceived to be more effeminate to your average mainlander. so their son was not in any danger of sounding like a hillbilly, at worst people might think he was gay or fem
is hovering a requirement? i thought most fpvs delegate target acquisition to other platforms
also it seemed to me that most strikes are on relatively slow vehicles moving in predictable directions and static emplacements, didnt feel like agility was a high priority
wonder why rotary drones are still so prevalent for payload delivery
i bet fixed wing could probably do better load/range/complexity/speed in exchange for needing a guy to hump around some kind of a launch system and some restraints on launch area

because no one in the factory has ever used a linux machine and the none of the engineers want to be the go to hand holding guy when your prototype inevitably shits itself so they just use windows and hope that its one less thing to have to worry about.
its about convenience, perceived or otherwise. nobody gets paid enough to care about the politics or the tech
did the author ever finish the series and is there a link to the most complete version? stopped reading it like ten years ago due to the sporadic updates
big reason they use windows is because a lot of front line workers dont understand computers and windows is still the least annoying os to use at least for those people
like yeah 10 and 11 are mostly shit but it beats having to teach the vocational school grad (who doesnt know english) basic bash commands just to do shit he already knows how to do in windows
there is also the fact that junior chinese programmers are more familiar with windows in general and that plays a part, but its mostly for troubleshooting convenience
this pretty much. if anyone took a survey of how many manchu nobles are still rich despite all the shit that happened in the entire past century i'd put money on the number being upwards of ~80%
i'm trying to improve the soil quality in my yard, it's hard and clay-like and roots have a hard time going down below like 4 cm. i have cow patties, rice hulls, rinsed coco coir and some cardboard.
currently the plan has been to mix up the patties and rice hulls and bury that below ground (completed already), then mulch with the coir + hulls + patties, then finally cover with cardboard. the yard is small so not much cardboard involved. i'm growing cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and beans this year, they should have been in the ground already but i wanted to grow from seed and my cats got to the sprouts. so i gotta get new ones 
please tell me what i am missing or what i could do better.
this was my garden a few weeks back. i'm basically totally new at this despite having done this for a few years now and this is gonna be a sort of lessons learned kinda deal.
the story so far is that i decided i was too busy to fuck too much with replanting seedlings this year and figured that i would just go straight from seed, hoping that the unusually cold weather we were having in spring would kill most of them so i would have less work to do down the line. that was a completely unfounded and stupid assumption on my part and i had to replant/uproot a bunch of plants (see above) because i ended up just haphazardly scattering seeds everywhere and the distribution of plants was totally fucked.
a lot of them started flowering last week-ish so i decided to fertilize this week. this was initially impossible because i hadn't really done any maintenance on my little guys since i replanted them and so the place was basically a jungle. after two afternoons worth of effort the garden now looks like this (didn't really do much to the guys in the planter, there's a drainage layer but the big drainage pipe is above the drainage layer for reasons outside my control and i really need to get on that...):
all this to say that for anyone starting out, just bite the bullet and start your seeds off somewhere where you can keep track of them and replant them (IN AN ORGANIZED FASHION) later on. you'll save yourself a lot of trouble and won't end up spilling fermented soybeans all over yourself because you tripped over a potato while trying to maneuver yourself around your poor man's tomato cage.

listening to some pretty wild theories about how nato/us is going to majorly escalate in europe before elections because the us is unwilling to directly intervene in the middle east and, other than israel, doesn't really have any proxies in the area that can reliably go to bat for it. unlike in europe, where you have the baltics and the rest of nato baying for russian blood. best part about the prediction is that once the escalation happens we'll get to see a dprk intervention in belarus. cant tell if the dude is serious or is just manifesting finno korean hyperwar energies.
