Guessing it was a force copy title for the sub and the article wanted you to click. They put it in the body of the post at least.
- Comment on China has introduced a drone that flies like a bird. The new invention could turn the drone industry upside down 1 week ago:
Plane vs helicopter I imagine. Plane should have a longer range, helicopter is better to get footage.
- Comment on China has introduced a drone that flies like a bird. The new invention could turn the drone industry upside down 1 week ago:
If your putting explosives on these things I don’t think it matters. You wouldn’t hear the whirl of the rotors until after it got within striking range.
- Comment on China has introduced a drone that flies like a bird. The new invention could turn the drone industry upside down 1 week ago:
Bird circles 80 times with 15 second gaps of the camera pointed in the wrong direction is all I can imagine. You’d have to swoop the bird directly at the target you wanted to capture the image of unless you are controlling the bird and using a floating camera that you are pointing at the target and rotating separately. Which means the odds of you crashing are going up drastically.
- Comment on China has introduced a drone that flies like a bird. The new invention could turn the drone industry upside down 1 week ago:
It also seems to have fewer purposes. If you are trying to get footage or even just a picture it seems like a normal drone is much easier. Takeoff, landing, hovering seem to be weighted to the quad copter design.
- Comment on Microsoft employees are banned from using DeepSeek app, president says 1 week ago:
I mean, it does seem like a thing that you would have your employees use your apps on their work devices, and then experience what is wrong with it and try to make it better referencing things that you find out their in their free time/ research. No government agency with any security concerns is going to allow it on their work devices. I mean hell, candy crush is blocked on government contract used devices for companies like Lockheed, L3Harris, and other defense companies do to such.
- Comment on Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College 1 week ago:
Most people can’t afford to go to Universities for the purpose of research. Most people go to Universities for a specific college (every university is requured to have multiple colleges to be accedited) to learn information that is already known. Which is where I think we have it set up wrong. It shouldn’t cost large sums of money for a person to learn what is already known, the information should be made available for free. The tests universal and unattached to a University name. Were you able to pass the test showing proficiency in A, B and C. Yes or no, that is what we need to know you are proficient in for this job. It doesn’t matter if you went to Alabama, Yale, Community college, online seminars, w.e. Researching knowledge we do not currently possess is what I think the University setup should be pushed back towards.
- Comment on Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College 1 week ago:
Are you paying to know those things? I think you’re paying for a piece of paper that said you went there. The number of employers who have hired me for what my Bachelor’s of Science is for: 0. Programmers are probably screwing themselves if they are going to program later in life and using an LLM to write it. But something like 60-90 out of the 120 credit hours for that Bachelor’s degree are not programming courses. If I was in college today I could safely say I would know which courses I needed to pay attention to, and which ones I don’t. Hell I took Archeology of Caribbean Piracy one semester, fun course though.
- Comment on It's time to go ultra. 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the tips! Yeah, I’m not to old yet, but Ill be 36 this year so I’m not to spry. Ive heard 30s and 40s are good for endurance though.
- Comment on It's time to go ultra. 2 weeks ago:
How old are you? I used to run a lot when I was younger and have always wanted to get back into it but my ankles and knees scream at me for thinking about it these days. To much running on concrete probably. Lots of basketball on concrete as well. I’m only 5’11 but I used to be able to dunk which seems great when your young, but I overlooked how many times I’d be slapping back boards and landing all my weight on them coming down. I probably just need to shed 30lbs from diet and work into jogging after.
- Comment on When you count, your lips don't touch until 1 million. 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t realize till now I must sat 4 incorrectly. My cheeks come in, lips extend outward and mostly touch except a small hole in front of my front teeth, where my top teeth rest on top of my bottom lip. Almost like a lite whistle motion void the teeth touching my lip.
- Comment on Trump pardons crypto exchange for money laundering, possibly preventing them from even being investigated again 5 weeks ago:
Waste of money. If the bill of rights doesn’t hold water then we might as well do the human e thing and slit their throats in a field. Leave their bodies for the vultures. Don’t have to waste bullets or dig holes. No reason to kill the environment shipping people off.
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 5 weeks ago:
I get mad at myself if I don’t turn it on early enough. As I. If I go to change lanes and it only flashes once it really isn’t enough notice for other drivers so I usually bitch at myself

- Comment on Clean butt 1 month ago:
I’ve had this for a year and no issues. Takes 5 mins to install and anyone can do it. $35 after tax. I think I got it for 27 or something last year. If you don’t like it after a while, your not out much. But Ive saved more than $35 in toilet paper since I’ve got it
- Comment on Clean butt 1 month ago:
Even the cheap ones have a self clean setting. It just sprays water down the nozzle, and is between on and off. Turn it to that for a second and then off. Never had an issue. When I clean the toilet I use the same brush to glance over it, but really it stays clean on its own
- Comment on Clean butt 1 month ago:
Low water pressure maybe? Mines a real cheap one and I’ve never had issues with not being clean after. I do usually get stronger toilet paper, but I only use a roll or two a month. I wouldn’t say it’s life changing, but I do prefer it. Also has saved me a lot on tp
- Comment on Or more 1 month ago:
About 10 years ago I was in bars to frequently. I hung out at the same place with the same people for 4 years. Woman came into my life and started going up there with me sometimes, when she asked me their names I didn’t know half of their first names even. Some go by their middle name, last name or just a nick name. There was never a reason to know anyone’s name. This next comment I’m sure some will hate, but I find most people who need to know people’s names are the ones who talk about people when they aren’t around. We can talk about movies, music, pool, darts, sports, hiking, canoeing or any other hobbies and never need to know the peoples names. Never need to exchange phone numbers, social media or anything. I would go to relax and socialize, not to tie myself to more obligations.
- Comment on US classifies South Korea as ‘sensitive country,’ limiting cooperation on advanced tech. 1 month ago:
That and if you remember he’s been on calls with Putin for the last few weeks. Putin hired North Koreans to help invade Ukraine. NK and Russia were worried South Korea might assist in defending Ukraine. So naturally. Trump has to start scrutinizing Korea more
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 month ago:
It was all covered in my Florida education. For the most part it is just a very small amount of information that people tend to forget it. It also isn’t all taught in one class. (T4 slips are called W2 forms in the U.S. for those questioning). The investing thing is a broad generalization though. I assume because it may get considered an overlap of teaching kids to gamble. Everyone was required to take either micro or macro economics in high school though for us, both of which touched on stock market invement mostly just tied to the idea of a 401k (retirement accounts).
Nutritional labels were covered in science classes multiple times, but we’re touched on in middle school science, and we were all required to take a home ec class for half a year in 7th grade which taught about it as well. Again in physics and chemistry classes.
W2s were covered in our mandatory typing class as a form of data entry, because most people only take the data from boxes off the W2 and enter them into a tax program. Then the tax brackets were taught to us in middle and highschool.
A lot of it to me is that we don’t pay attention in school and forget a lot over time. Nutritional and Tax bracket questions were on both the ACT and SAT. Which are national tests required to get into colleges. A bunch of kids do drop out of high school though?
- Comment on When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job? 1 month ago:
I installed a Linux server on an old laptop, then installed Jellyfin. It’s like a Walmart special from 8 years ago, so no graphics card outside of the integrated graphics. Doesn’t matter. I disabled sleep, and power saving settings on the Wi-Fi. I had a USB external 1tb drive hooked to it. The laptop doesn’t even have support for a 5ghz wifi connection. No issues at all. I can run 2 movies at 1080p in different rooms off the external USB drive without issue. Just go for it. I installed RustDesk on it so wherever I am I can remote to it, turn on the VPN and kick off a torrent for whatever movie someone mentioned while at work or what not. Then when I get home it’s there.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 1 month ago:
A good example is the post on here about tax brackets. Far more Republicans didn’t know how tax brackets worked than Democrats. But every mainstream language model would have gotten the answer right.
- Comment on Can trump make it so I can sell my citizenship for 5 million dollars? 2 months ago:
The joke of the post was the government paying you 5,000,000 for your U.S. citizenship. So you’d have over 4 million U.S. dollars left after doing such a trade. I forget the conversion right now.
- Comment on Can trump make it so I can sell my citizenship for 5 million dollars? 2 months ago:
With $5 million dollars I assume I’d be able to get a visa and then citizenship almost anywhere. Can’t find a job within 90 days? Damn, maybe just start a business. What do you do? For me I’d go IT consultant company, and put my annual pay as the minimum wage required to maintain a citizenship. I could buy an office, a house, pay myself $50,000 a year for 20 years and still have 3 million left likely. Not to mention if you actually make any money. Could be anything really. Marketing, bakery, street food vendor. I’m sure you can make it work with 5m.
You can stick the 3 million in a 5% interest savings and make $150,000 a year to live off of. Living off 200k a year and never touching your principle I would hopefully be able to make work in most of the world.

- Comment on Israeli speaker of parliament calls for bombing food stocks in Gaza now that Israel has cut off their food and water. 2 months ago:
They know it is a genocide, they don’t care because they fell for the lies that all Palestinians are Hamas. They don’t call it a genocide because it would make them feel in the wrong, but they believe it is justified to kill every Hamas person. Even if that means they are an Israeli person in Florida who clearly was never part of Hamas, but they thought might look like a Palestinian.
