Brave man haha. Adding a conformal coating to my quads has been on the to-do list for forever but even then I think I'll still be too chicken to fly over water deep enough to lose my stuff lol

That was rad, nice shots! Do you conformal coat your quad(s) or just YOLO it over the water without?

Have him get into a simulator for a bit. Uncrashed is excellent and inexpensive. That'll help him build up some fundamentals and ultimately save a ton of money in broken parts.

Calling all pilots!

Castle Crash Society needs a crew for the next Sloss Drone Derby. A $1 volunteer ticket secures your registration as a pilot - run the show and fly for basically nothing.

Grab your spot before they’re gone:

I've been known to slam Cruz Lux (or Dark, in this case) whenever available. Otherwise, if I'm feeling spicy, I'll always take a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster - it's like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick :P

idk how right-wingers consistently manage to be the dumbest people you can possibly encounter but here we are. What a dumpster fire of a timeline.

Scooped the Kruger L-21 and laser weapon kit today.

Been busy on creative projects and just life in general as lady and I prep to bring our son into the world, but have been finding time to plug back into the 'Verse.

#StarCitizen has certainly come a long way since my hayday

β€œWhy are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. β€œWhy aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. β€œWhy are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” β€œWhy is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

As the literacy rate declines, you’ll ask yourself why the quality of life continues to deteriorate in ways large and small, and in almost every instance the answer will be: because people stopped reading.

If you aren't constantly absorbing the news and taking notes at every turn, it can be difficult to keep track of all of the illegal acts committed by the Trump administration so far.

Here's a comprehensive list detailing 200+ such acts.

Physics in action: a truly mesmerising #SolarFlare on the Sun last night, from the same region that produced strong flares and triggered widespread aurora back in mid-November. The flare gives a hypnotic example of how plasma and magnetic fields interact in the Sun’s atmosphere.
