Well you have a binary choice. Trump or Biden. Both will fund genocide.
That is absolutely going to happen. I suspect there will be a ton of Apollo and other 3rd party app logos too.

Given that Microsoft have been making a noticeable effort with JRPG games I would expect them to do something bigger at this event. Hoping for a world premiers.
Excited to give this game a try. I've wanted to try the Persona series for a while.
Linux distros are still an operating system.
Welcome to all you new folks! Water is great!
I would say, it’s less sad and more liberating to be honest with you. I’ll certainly continue to use Reddit in the long term, but it will be much more in frequently than it was in the past. Moving forward I think this is going to be the primary place where I spend my time. It’ll be cool to see it grow from what it was just a month ago.
What is TIHI? Thanks I Hate It? That is all that comes to mind.
Just wait until you buy the sequel ;)
セガサミーホールディングスの子会社でゲームソフト開発などで知られるセガは、別会社の傘下に入る可能性について現時点では興味ないとの考えを明らかにした。副社長で共同最高執行責任者(Co-COO)を務める内海州史氏が29日、ブルームバーグのインタビューに答えた。
Right. I'm loving this. It is a huge breath of fresh air. Obviously the people hosting Lemmy.world have to pay for this though. If they put out a subscription that was minimal in cost I would pony up even now with the jank and all. This place is worth investing my time and energy into I feel.
I had an R-Zone when I was younger. It was an absolute piece of shit. My mom found it at a garage sale. We had a racing game that I remember and then I remember like some K-mart ass style fighting game too.
I recently passed my part 107 exam with a 93% (4 Incorrect). After the test the proctor and I were chatting. I was his last test for the day and he didn't have to monitor anyone else so he was pretty friendly and chatty. He commended me on my score. He seemed excited by it so I asked how often they see scores of 90% or greater. His answer surprised me. He said that greater than 90% is unfortunately more rare than you would think. The average score is closer to 80-82% by his estimation.
His opinion on why this was case was that he believed most watch all in one YouTube videos where it spoon feeds you the 70% of what you need to know, but never gives you thorough understanding. He believed most people can get 70% of the test correct based on that and some common sense. After that he made a great point though about studying to just pass or studying to gain knowledge. He believed that if you view the test as a barrier or burden in your way you are probably taking the test just hoping for a 70% or better. But if you view your part 107 as your first step you are likely recognizing it as the initial foundation of your knowledge and you want to learn it all. He said those folks are the ones that he believes test higher and they are increasingly rare.
Much to my surprise he pretty much hit the nail on the head. I have multiple additional certifications I need to get yet so I didn't need to sprint through getting my part 107. I took the time to study everything. I am pretty proud of the score I got and I think there is a great benefit to spending the time to not only pass, but pass with the highest score you can.
Here is everything I used to study. Word of warning this is not the easy-mode way.
-
Read Part 107 from the official government website of the Cod Of Federal Regulations This is a very easy to read list of the do's and don't under Part 107. Any study guide that does not tell you to read this is a bad study guide.
-
Read Remote Pilot -- Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Study Guide - This is an official study guide put out by the FAA. Either save it to your computer/phone or print it off and mark it up as you read. But read this cover to cover and comprehend it. It is 88 pages, but this alone could pretty much get you to pass the Part 107 exam. There isn't a single YouTube video out there that covers all of this.
-
Read the official FAA ruling on "Operations Over People General Overview". This details new requirements for flying over other people. There are 4 categories and this can get a little bit confusing. There is a great dedicated Youtube Video from a small channel run by a gentleman named Tim McKay who explains it all crystal clear.
-
Read the official FAA requirements for Night Operations. Even the highly regarded Tony Northrup video everyone talks about gives you incorrect information on this. You absolutely can fly at night without getting a waiver.
-
By this point you pretty much know everything you need to. But we want to have a thorough understanding of everything not just basic knowledge so we can "just pass" the test. Fog is a topic that will come up on your test. Make sure you understand the characteristics and causes of each of the 6 major types of fog. A great resource for this is Fly8MA.Com Flight Trainings video.
-
Sectional Charts. You've already read about them in the study guide, but practice these. Try to memorize which lines mean what. But if you forget always remember there is a legend in the front of your supplement book that you will have on test day. Some great tools I used for this were:
-
Altitude Universities FAA Part 107 Study Guide [How To Read A Sectional Chart]. They teach you almost all of what you need to know, but he also teaches you a great "game" you can use to practice.
-
Fly8MA.Com Flight Trainings - Video on Advanced Sectional Chart Knowledge. You see a lot of lazy videos out there on "5 Tricky questions about sectional charts on the part 107 test". Well this video will make it so there are no tricky questions!
-
-
Understand abbreviations for METAR and TAF reports. Weather.GOV has a chart of this. You certainly do not need to memorize every single one of them. But the major ones regarding precipitation, cloud, winds, max, min, began/begin, end, etc. A great way I learned to read these was to install the Avia Weather app on my Android phone and use that for my weather app for a few weeks. It presents weather in METAR format. It forced me to learn to read them. I would see new abbreviations pretty regularly and then look them up and know them. You can also spend some time using the Aviation Weather Center website. It provides METAR reports and you can decode them to verify your answers.
-
Understand air masses, fronts & clouds. This too comes directly from the FAA. It is comically old looking, but the information was incredibly helpful. It is 30 pages with tons of pictures. It helped supplement the knowledge from the official study guide on the 3 phases of every storm cloud. I probably have 4-5 questions on this during my test. If you understand weather you almost don't even need to study much on the effects it has on and aircraft because it all becomes incredibly easy to process.
-
Density Altitude & Pressure Altitude. This is one I see almost never talked about. Sure enough I had a question for this on my part 107 test.
-
Know how to talk on a radio. You will basically never have to do this, but I had two questions on radio procedure come up. One was how to contact ATC for authorization via radio (you never ever do this) the other was how something would be properly announced using phonetic alphabet. This video from Fly With the Guys does a great job of digging deeper into this.
-
Spend the time to understand Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) The video series I watched was 4 parts. Here is part 1. When I initially read through the study guide this didn't quite click with me, but the videos helped a ton.
-
Understand Weight & Balance basics for aircraft. A guy named Jeffery Bannish has a pretty great video on this. Understand loads during banked flight. I had multiple questions on this on my test as well.
-
Lastly. This one is completely optional. It cost me $15. John Peltier of Peltier Photo Courses has a bank of $300 questions he put together into a test that you can take as many times as you like. It picks 60 random questions so you are not taking the same test over and over. When you buy it you can access the test for 2 months. I probably took his test 10 times over the course of the month I was studying. What I would do is take the test once each day. Then review any questions I got wrong and I would spend time to learn the correct answer. As I would learn the correct answer I would absorb additional information. The next day I would take the test again. Get some new questions and repeat the process. After about 4 days I started routinely getting 94-98% on the practice tests.
That is how I did it. Like I said it is not the easy-mode way, but it worked for me and I got a score I am pretty dang proud of. I took the time to read the provided material from the FAA. I found supplementary information in YouTube videos dedicated to the specific topic. Not a single all encompassing video. The rest is history.

Oh I have all the faith in the world that someone will come up with a solution eventually. I just assume it was never a major priority because of the userbase. With an explosion of users I'm sure they have a 100 things they want to improve and it is just a matter of time.

Yesterday, we came across a few leaked photos that purportedly showcase new DJI drones. While it’s expected to see more photos of the Air 3 as we approach a possible announcement, the photos of a potential Mini 4 came as a surprise. Especially since the release of a new Mini drone would deviate significantly from DJI’s typical product timeline.
Jasper Ellens shared some new photos yesterday, featuring the Air 3 and supposedly the Mini 4 Pro being tested in the field. Typically, these field test photos indicate that the drone’s release is near, usually within the next six to eight months. However, the specific timing is dependent on the product type. (cough cough… Inspire 3)
I hope so! I really liked the remake of Animaniacs that was on Hulu too.
That seems to be what basically every person is doing lately. They act like there is no difference between Lemmy and Reddit. Sure, signing up is easy. But understanding subscriptions is a different situation entirely.
It isn't hard to sign up for. No one is saying that is the case. It gets confusing when people start talking about adding subscriptions from other instances and how you can copy and paste the link and subscribe. That right there is where 95% of the people on the internet stop caring.
If the developers of Lemmy and the wider Fediverse ever get that fleshed out in an intuitive way I think popularity will go pretty fast.
That and long term if there is a way for information to be collectively backed up so that if some owner shuts down an instance everything isn't gone.
Set your profile to open to work if you haven't. That makes all the difference in the world.
Why do you feel LinkedIn is creepy? Just curious. Out of all the social media presence I currently have LinkedIn seems to me like the only one that is actually benefiting me. I post very little on there unless I am promoting a professional achievement.
That is exactly what’s happening to me too. It seems to be random. But I’ve started paying closer attention as I navigate around so I’m hoping to maybe identify any consistency and what would be causing it so I can report it.
I was having that same issue.
Well, it’s not a huge mystery or anything…people love the communities they build up. You feel a sense of loyalty to the people and to the idea behind the community.
Dude. Its about power and control. It has little to do with any sense of loyalty. I'm sure there are a few that have some measure of loyalty, but very few mods are doing it because they just love the topic they moderate. They're doing it because it gives them power and control and they love that. Absolutely no one can convince me otherwise.
