"her dad is not her actual biological father"

Who cares. he is her dad.

But seriously, while pedantic I think differentiating between "dad" and "father" is part of the solution here. Your title leans into one of the most abrasive ways she could break the news (I know that wasn't a proposed phrasing). "Your my dad, I love you, but turns out your not my bilogical father" is much more palatable way to break the news, and puts the focus on what's actually important.

Either way, as you said, it's her decision. Even if agreement from us commenters is unanimous she should chuck out all our opinions and do what she thinks is right.

As a fan of Bernie this fantastic news, I want to hug the scroll if it can be corroborated.

"nobody drives in New York, there's too much traffic".

When Digg put business above users and reddit growth exploded it (reddit) wasn't a great "alternative" at that time either. But at that time they were putting users first. Isn't that what makes this (lemmy) a great alternative?

I've been told it's going to trickle down any moment now...

This is the sarcasm we deserve.

I've known plenty of vegans and not once have I seen them "try to force it into others"... Outside of internet rage baiting crazies.

..Now the religious on the other hand, I have first hand experience with.

Our population is shrinking, what should we do!? I know, let’s enact policy that encourages people to leave!

WTF!?

Hold on, gotta check with my pundits to see if I should be outraged about this or not…

Shouldn’t the text read something like, “republicans looking at the receipts for the wall Mexico was supposed to pay for”

Tom Stanton already did this!

There is no way the passwords aren’t hashed, otherwise I’m sure some responsible dev on the project would be making some noise.

Found the night owl!

I also migrated from digg to reddit. I think it's funny that people complain "there's not good alternative to reddit". When the great digg exodus was happening reddit was not a "good alternative" either, but it still happened that folks jumped ship for a community that was ready to put its users first.

Anybody who'd not going to move until the alternative is perfect is better off staying on digg reddit.

Meanwhile we get everyone who doesn't fall for propaganda, is willing to try and evaluate the evidence for themselves. It's win/win really unless your community is rather niche.

I would sub to see that!

I fly FPV drones mostly.

I order often from: getfpv.com, readymaderc.com, and racedayquads.com. I've also ordered from quite a few other sites but try to pay close attention to delivery estimates If I want something quickly.

For the most part there is pretty good interoperability on parts. Transmitters will speak one or more protocol, make sure to get compatible receivers there. Video systems are similar, analogue hardware is fairly interoperable, but if you get a digital video system you need corresponding video transmitter/camera. Not all motors are equal but even pretty cheap motors can get the job done. From a power standpoint you want to make sure any speed controllers you're using are reasonably matched to your motors.

Ardupilot is probably best for automated systems, waypoint missions, position hold, or otherwise photography platform like activates. Ardupilot also gets extra points for being versatile planes/drone/boats, etc from one controller. If you want to actually pilot a performance drone you'd probably want to lean more toward betaflight and its forks/competitors.

When it comes to aircraft, if you're new, expect to crash and break them. They can be fairly durable but really when I buy something I'm thinking about it's flight characteristics and features more than it's cost. $20 isn't going to make a big difference here. Transmitters and Video equipment are much better investment opportunities. A nice transmitter with quality gimbals can last a decade. Quality FPV goggles will last also and improve QoL. These are where you want to invest.

That said a really cheap transmitter and some crappy box goggles are better than not flying at all.

Planes differ from drones in that they can be flown without a flight controller (direct PWM to servos). Though a more purpose built (fixed wing) flight controllers can make the job a bunch easier by trying to help hold orientation. I'm pretty new at the whole fixed wing thing.

A blimp sounds like a great time, on a really still day, or in a gymnasium or something. I've also seen RC paramotors that look like they might be groovy!

If you look at the sliced tool paths, what is it doing when it puts those Xs into your test print?

I'm super late to this thread, sorry.

Honestly where to buy depends a lot on where you're located. There are plenty of Chinese sites that have good deals and descent products. e.g. hobbyking banggood. Finding a retailer that ships products you're interested in from your continent is ideal. What to buy if you're new to the hobby really depends on you. Buy something that looks fun. This is very much a you get what you pay for type hobby. So for example a <50 dollar RC boat is likely to be less fun and durable than one that is >200.

If there is a particular type of RC vehicle that you're after and you're willing to share your region I can probably provide a more specific answer.

As for software drones without auto-leveling can be tricky. As can fixed wing aircraft via LoS. Simulators can help build muscle memory. Otherwise there is a considerable amount of relatively proprietary software used to configure various bits of hardware involved.

I run a pie hole, it has a lot of meta/facebook subdomains blocked. I would recommend that as a simpler potential solution than flashing custom firmware.

For the most part, with usb-c charging, if you plug it in and it starts charging, you’re good. The biggest question is, how fast will it charge? Not all chargers will charge at the maximum possible rate. There are in-line testers you can use to see how fast you’re charging.

As a child of the 80s I liked the 3rd one better.
