    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I couldn't find any flight time or max range on them.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Those drones work on pure GPS. They claim a 1meter accuracy but it's probably closer to 10 (since it's so cheap, small and they probably don't support differential gps). So they can only position outdoors with no nearby buildings / heavy forest / cliffs etc. Those drones also have a max speed...

    What do you think the effective range, speed and weapons payload is of a device that size?

    Gaming Keypads/Gameboards

    A warning on the G13, from my experience most games don't support it as a joystick and it's only useful as WASD. Additionally it's not a very good joystick. Also using the joystick with your right thumb is impossible If you can't move your mouse hand get a trackball. If you can't move your...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    I didn't say it was pointless, just futile! But seriously, it's fun to debate this stuff and I'm not condemning it. I'm just saying that people who make strong opinions about shit like 'how were dragons made in the GoT universe' are probably either wrong or never proven right. Getting a good...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It'd be really hard for me to support my cousin if she fucked up her first marriage and started dating a man just over half her age.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    That's a pretty generous pre-nup. I casually brought up prenups with my bride to be and she was against it for the reasons you mentioned. I didn't push it because I was too lazy and mostly figured it wouldn't do much good for me.

    Oh it's fine and I'm not shitting on it. But GRRM is well known for using unreliable narration. The further removed from an actual PoV character's internal dialog about what they've actually seen the less certainty there is in the truth. Making statements like, "dragons weren't around...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I don't blame you at all, but I also don't really blame the woman. For every dude screwed by his cheating wife who takes half his shit there's a woman who plays homemaker for 10+ years and gets replaced by a younger woman. She's now middle-aged, and has no real skills or recent experience.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It's totally warranted. My wife has been having some complications through her pregnancy and I feel like I'm recuperating all the money I've dumped into health insurance since I started paying for my own. I think together we've had only a few doctor visits before my wife got pregnant, in the...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I feel like if we had to make a ground strike against a nation with a real air force we wouldn't want to use surgical and opportunistic strikes against them, but would instead do what we did in Iraq: stealth strike their air defenses and airfields and then shock and awe them. Once we gained some...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It'd be more correct to say, 'From a purely financial standpoint, if someone is financially well off marrying someone who is not financially well off has no financial benefit.'. In which case I think most people would say no shit. My sister is an architect and one of my female friends is a...

    Yeah. Arguing about what happened in a fictional legend based on words from extremely unreliable narrators is pretty futile.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one here that finds irony in Jews having highly controlled camps for another culture whose land they took by force. There's huge differences yeah, but there's a lot of similarities.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I guess the root question that Vvoid has (and he can correct me if I'm wrong) is whether manned aircraft can perform the same missions as drones with the same (or lower) chance of collateral damage.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Hehe I think this is where a real expert needs to come in and enlighten us as to the typical payloads of a combat UAV vs a manned air strike. I don't even know what the overlap is between the missions that a Predator drone performs vs A10/F15/whatever.

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    I don't really care but biting someone is both barbaric and a bitch move. The worst that'll probably happen to the 'victim' is that his m8s will take the piss out of him for getting bitten which is preferable to getting tripped and tearing your ACL. But it's still a crazy and irrational thing to do.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I don't really differentiate a drone strike and a manned air strike in terms of whether it's an enemy combatant / assassination etc. I do (maybe falsely?) assume that drone strikes are more surgical and have less collateral damage than manned air strikes.

    Ah I see they released an expansion to the game (Lifeline). I'll have to put that game in the queue after Dark Souls and hopefully before GTAV:PC! This was also a good read: Undead Labs State of Decay: Year One edit: another sandbox game to look at that is still being updated is: Kenshi...

    At least 38 studios put out a playable (if flawed) game with the intent on more. The Pantheon shit is a whole other league of fuckery.

    Are you playing Breakdown? Like I said in my previous post the game radically changes in higher levels in breakdown and the story mode of the game is almost like a tutorial. Anyway, in Breakdown there are fewer cars at higher levels, so instead of there being 40 cars in a city there will be...
