I built a staticly hosted, low poly, procedural generated FPV drone sim called RotorBurn. It runs fully in your web browser and has compatibility with mobile touch screens, gamepads, and even some real drone controllers in HID Mode. Play it free at glytch.tech/rotorburn

The funniest stinkin thing about this is:
This is just a picture of reality. I made no claims. I made no political statement. And this is quite possibly the most divisive post Ive ever made.
Im flabbergasted. In absolute awe. We are so screwed

general consensus of the replies to this: people who are actually building things/running small businesses are affected
people with brain damage who sit at their desk all day think its a good idea that americans pay the gubment more than the value of the goods to get their stuff

Btw: For all those assuming that Im just simply importing a completed product:
I'm not. Im importing materials to literally build products in America. I AM the person who is bringing manufacturing back. The very thing we are being told to do. 🤷

One last thing: To those who honestly think the answer is "Just buy american goods." Even if there are similar american made goods available, they ARE more expensive. So if you're not also advocating for paying the people who make more, then you are running afoul of Henry Ford's

2nd most important rule to a successful business: Pay your people enough to be able to afford the goods they produce.
Otherwise, its unsustainable. Period.

sucks for every american tbh
people will really start to notice and complain when shelves are empty and people cant afford the basics. this is actively bankrupting businesses and killing jobs.

These were ordered even before the 84% tariffs were proposed, let alone enacted. I'd have made different decisions if there were appropriate warning.

So took the Mavic Air off the roof of the car to get a look around and hand captured it 😋

Totally, we dont even have any viable PCBA options in the US or adjacent for small businesses. All too costly or wont even entertain small batch. Crazy

International policy generally dictates you wont receive a refund for unpaid duties causing the return or destruction of goods. So id just have nothing and be out almost $2k in that case, instead of have my product and pay over double for it.

as its parts/materials making up a part of the product, i can probably get away with passing on around a quarter of it and avoid a dramatic/offensive price increase and only minorly affecting margins. but yeah, it sucks

yes, then they pay the 145% tariff to import the product, and pass it on the buyer. net result is the same. products that are nearly 1.5x the price

Thats governing at gun point, the only winners with this policy are the Bezos and Musks of this world. You lose. I lose. The American people lose. The rich get richer. Thats it. Thats all that comes of this.

Welp. SO's aunt just passed.
She was a hospice nurse, and got it.
And agent orange just tweeted "they must quickly be forgotten."

They wanted it humiliated AND broken, so they gave it to the Marines

ordered before even the 84% tariffs were proposed, much less the 145% or reduction of the formal entry minimum. tariffs didnt factor into my purchase qty/price at all (beyond the previous and typical HTS code amounts)

so does that mean in a bit over 13 years, there will be a bunch of
quaranteens
April 27th 2011 was the “Super Outbreak” of Tornadoes which devestated the South (🌪️x360).
Everyone was home without power for extended periods of time.
9 months later there was a huge spike in births at local hospitals. (Looks at 8year old).
Population spike inbound 📈

If you're in a place below freezing, set all your taps to drip, even if you have the heat set high, and especially if the power goes out.
Trust me, the water bill is cheaper than losing a lot of your possessions and a substantial remodel.
Also know where your water shut-off is

ive kind of embraced my motto lately bring "I help where I can" because of traveling around and helping friends through tough patches in these stressful times... really the only thing keeping me going.
So to have things like this happen and being able to make an impact is bliss

FINALLY
With everything going on the last couple weeks, it's been a grind to get one if these put together properly, but here it is. Just add magnets or 3M VHB tape, and stick it to anything. Less than $15 of parts to build. Integrated battery and charging.

"Someone who should've known better was operating a drone in an unsafe way when a plane hit it" just doesn't have the same ring to it though, does it.
This kinda thing is pretty annoying because there has still yet to be an incursion involving a hobbyist at fault, and yet

When I was in freshman finance class, we were asked what kind of lifestyle we wanted, I said I want to live like I'm retired.
I was told that wasn't realistic. When I asked why, the teacher said that's just not how life works. Another why, I was told to quit being stubborn.
