  • I think you are wrong. You can buy very cheap drones, I bought one about a decade ago for about 50 dollars. Now the nice ones with GPS and cameras and fpv capabilities yes they are expensive. But that’s the point… Buy the cheap one, if you enjoy flying it next month enough to justify spending that to get a fancy one consider it.

    For today buy the 50 dollar one, the regret will be alot less than the 2000 dollar one…


  • I was taught for tools or equipment always buy the cheapest you can find. If you use it enough and for long enough that it breaks or is not good enough then splurge and get the quality version. Like if you get into drawing buy that $15 pencil kit…in a month or 2 if you find you want to continue with drawing but you need better pencils then go out and buy the 50 or 100 dollar version. At that point you will know you want to continue drawing and you have enough foundational knowledge to know what is important and what is pure marketing.





  • Depends on the field you’re in. At my previous company to release a new system for internal use only I had to go through 19 validations(each one 50-100 pages of manual tests). None of it had real source control except uploading final zip of files(no source code, just the enable files).

    I wrote all the files, wrote all the test cases, wrote all the documentation, executed everything and wrote most of the reports. They just fired me last week so hope they have fun when they need to update something…



  • I moved halfway across the country(NJ to TX) 10 years ago, my move went ok but another co-worker was supposed to move about 3 months later. As he was packing the truck he heard on the news there were tornados near the new place and figured let me just check…

    He called up his new apartment complex to confirm everything was OK… “we’ll call you back” an hour later he got a phone call “sorry your apartment no longer exists”

    He had 5 days to finish packing, drive 29 hours, find a new apartment, do all the paperwork, unpack, return the moving truck, and come to work at 6am the 6th day. I don’t know how he did it but he did.

    No matter how bad it is, it could always be worse.
