Not just another laptop. The screen is 3200x1800 which is higher than the best Apples.
If you are sick of looking at your 10-36MP pictures on a 2MP screen the solution is clear. You also get a whole PC, portable no less, for about 2x the price of a 2560 x whatever monitor.

The retinas are what 288 ppi? You might not be able to see the pixel grid but you do see a fine blur on the screen. I looked myself yesterday in best buy. If you check out clarkvision.com he did a test with people looking at prints. Most people can clearly see an advantage up to about 400-600 dpi. As in a 350 dpi print side by side is clearly inferior.
A lot more of these 3600x1800 pixel screens are coming out for Christmas so I am waiting for the boxing day sale.

Hoverbike.
http://www.dudeiwantthat.com/autos/exotic/hoverbike.asp
QuoteThe Hoverbike is powered by a flat-twin 4-stroke engine, and runs on regular unleaded fuel. Its right hand throttle, just like a motorcycle's, increases thrust and prompts liftoff. Liftoff. As in from earth to air, where you can then chill like David Blaine, fly forward, roll left and right with handlebar guides, or continue ascending. For upwards of 10,000 feet. ...
At first glance, flying a Hoverbike seems synonymous with playing a game of chicken with Death.
I repeat. Ahem.
HOVER
BIKE
Pretty sweet, but the image I see has it staked to the ground. What's up with that?
Since that Hoverbike is powered by Sheer Awesome you can't just turn it off or shut it down. It has to be staked to the earth with chains much like a high-spirited and yet-to-be-broken Riding Dragon.

My guess is the "upwards of

I'm torn between this or an SL8. I fiddled with both in the store last week and I really like the overall feel and balance of the SL8 but I'n not a fan of the cheek weld (it's going to be too low if I use anything but iron sights and it's not extendable) or the single stack mag and mag-well. The TAR-21 is nice and light but the trigger pull one the one I was handling was gritty as hell and very heavy. I'm also wondering about the placement of the piston. It's pretty much right in your face so I bet you'd be sucking in a lot of gas fumes.
I'll go in again this week, dither for far too long and then likely buy one or the other (although a guy on a gun forum has a fully converted SL8-to G36. Looks slick as hell and I'd buy it in an instant if he knocks $500 off his asking price. )

Are you sure those weren't just
your recommendations from Amazon? ;)
I look forward to the various obscure religious texts and semi-substandard IDW Godzilla graphic-novel compilations that will soon appear on the list.
But back to the pen: Martok should avoid the more expensive Chaos Rollerball as one of the reviewers reports "Causes strange nodules to appear on the user's body which could be mistaken for tumors, but actually are egg sacks for large aggressive spiders."
This could be construed by some people as a drawback, so caveat emptor.

Cool! But without knowing what's going on I thinking that can't be as harmless as they claim.
GOT! :D
Back when I was in high school, I was not only ranked my senior year as the 2nd best (high school) bass clarinetist in the state, but for my junior summer year I got to play with an ancient Selmer metal paperclip contra-bass clarinet, arguably the lowest register production horn in the world. There are a few horns built which can play lower but aren't in normal production -- including at least two lower clarinets, and a hyperbass flute which has a range similar to some massive organs, lower than human hearing! But the "paperclip" contrabass, and a super-expensive modern German model (seriously costing more than my car) can play the lowest B-flat on a piano, only one half-note above low A. At anything below C-sharp, though, a clarinet can't make a distinct tone, so most contras only go down to that, which on such clarinets plays as E-flat (or one octave below a standard bass, two below a standard clarinet.)
Anyway. I kept at it through my first two Christmases in college at which time I dropped band/orchestra because it conflicted with my new hobby fencing. (https://www.grogheads.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wargamer.com%2Fforums%2Fsmiley%2Fduel.gif&hash=fd7020b8a2a6076a282c3b451fbf35815f2c11a2)
Which I much enjoyed and did okay at -- I can still teach all three weapons -- but for 23-1/2 years no more bass clarinets.
Until now.
At last.
At long last.
Not one, but two. (Thanks to an insanely good deal from Brook Mays, thanks in turn to some legal issues about certain new instruments in their backstock.)
Not just basses, but a BB-flat contrabass (no low C, and not a paperclip, but those are rare/old and/or super-expensive) and an EE-flat contralto (essentially the clarinet version of a bass sax.)
Pixs tomorrow. It's hard to tell their scale from being in cases, and hilariously my cork grease (and synthetic Legere reed) hasn't arrived yet so I'm leery about trying to put them together. Really nice cases, tho. As the Triplette guys like to say about their top-line fencing bag, "Jimmy Hoffa would be proud to be stuffed into a case this nice!"

There we go!
For scale reference, the top of that speaker on the shelf is about nose-level. If the B-flat contra was standing straight up, the top of its neck would be as tall as I am.
The shorter clarinet is an E-flat contrabass clarinet, popularly known as a contralto. A 'normal' bass would be a little less tall and have a much shorter neck.
The monolith on the ground behind them, by the way, is The Presence. ;D

It's too bad I couldn't find a Selmer paperclip -- it folds up much more handily for marching or playing in a regular seat, and looks like a dwarven pipe organ. :D

He's talking about the house behind the truck, and it's ornamental roof extension, or whatever it's called in archimatectury-type speak.

Those pens may just be the coolest things I've seen all year.
I highly recommend the Super Black Eagle 2 semi-auto shotgun:
http://www.benelliusa.com/super-black-eagle-ii-shotgun
It has the most reliable semi-auto action that I have ever seen (for anything other than light target loads). Next to no felt recoil. Important for me because I bruise very easily due to diabetes.
The cammo for duck hunting is excellent. Great choke system.

That's very cool.
The problem with those virtual keyboards (or so I've heard) is that there is no tactile response - that is to say, when I type on my keyboard (as I am right now) I can feel the keys beneath my fingers. This helps ensure proper alignment. The virtual keyboards, while quite cool, lack the tactile feedback and I hear it's rather easy to lose track of the keys.
Anyone have any experience with them for real?

LB, that's pretty much the same response that you get from an iPad or smart phone.
I prefer a real keyboard myself, but I've gotten used to hammering away on a flat screen for typing.

The Flames of War minis are right about that scale. You can find 2" plastic bases to glue them on at any gaming store that sells minis.
The hardest part is finding a chess/checker board that fits the style and size you want.
Knowing you, you could probably make one yourself that's ten times better than anything you could buy.
The only improvement I might add would be to put some kind of label on the bottom of those so you can remember that the grille is the rook, etc.

One on one Soviet equipment would have more parity. But I do like seeing the US forces in the mix.
Another thought might be aircraft, though in the late war the US would certainly dominate. Still, an Me 262 as the queen would be quite cool.
I wouldnt make the board. Id get that etching done at a glass shop or maybe put together at a marble shop.

The game is in as good a shape as I have ever seen without a full restoration. It appears that the game was in the home of a dealer or collector for decades. It has no smoke/tar/nicotine residue - which is almost unheard of and a big concern for me. It set me back $1,500 - which is a bit high for a Paragon machine - but it is also almost impossible to get one in this condition.
Hopefully it will last a long time - but I have located some repair people in the region prior to purchase.
My wife (without my urging - it was her idea) decided to take almost everything out of the formal dining room and turn it into a game room. I will end up having room for several pinball machines if I choose.
you married well sir!

FWIW, while I'm a Mac computer guy, and I have a few iPods around the house, I detest the iPhone, have never owned a Volvo, only fix gluten-free when visiting the wife's uncle with an intolerance, and while far trade seems like a nice concept I've never actually found anything in a fair trade store I actually wanted (especially since I can't stand coffee).

I live in Alabama and travel/work extensively in the entire Southeast.
Sweet Tea is almost never drunk at breakfast. Not saying it does not happen, but coffee/water/cola drinks are the norm for breakfast. People in the SE drink less coffee for lunch/supper than in the NE and West Coast. That is the time that many drink sweet tea.
Myself, the "sweet tea" my Mom made had almost no sugar - and went totally sugar free when I was 19 and started the hypoglycemia & eventual diabetes. I'm unusual for the South because I won't drink regular soft drinks (Coke/Pepsi) or sweet tea. It is coffee, and diet coke for me.
Brant lives in a bit less powerful "sweet tea" region. Back in the early 1980s the only sugar free drink you could get at most restaurants was black coffee or water. "Fresca" and "Tab" were both vile and not widely distributed in restaurants. You were more likely to find unsweetened tea back then than you were nonsugared soft drinks. Today, unsweet ice tea is almost as readily available in restaurants in the South as coffee. The last 30 years have had a remarkable change in the beverage menus at restaurants in the South.
But I order coffee from a plantation in Guatemala and have it shipped to my home - 6 bags at a time.
I was down in Brant's area a few years ago and ordered an unsweet iced tea. The waitress was dismayed and confused. She brought the tea, but also a sugar bowl and spoon just in case I made a mistake when ordering. I despise sweet tea.
It is standard to serve tea sweetened in the South.
That doesn't mean coffee isn't popular, but when you order tea in the South, expect it to have sugar. Anywhere else, you'll have to ask for it, or ask for sugar, depending on whether they serve both unsweetened and sweetened or just unsweetened.

Not a big fan of coffee.
In fact, most of the coffee drinkers in my family are women, including my youngest niece since when she was 3.
To be fair, I hate the taste of alcohol even more.

I got my wife the Snake Plissken figure from Sideshow Collectables for Christmas. It finally arrived this week (backordered).

That's cool.
What's even cooler is that Airboy has a wife who appreciates things like that. O0

I thought he was a being of pure elemental energy, desperately trying to flee from the voracious ectoplasmic incarnations of several hideous demons, eventually losing and being devoured, only to be cruelly reborn just to suffer the same fate over and over, for all eternity.
But, hey, if he is a pie, then so be it. Perhaps he might be lemon custard.

Not gonna lie, I had that theme running
hard in my head looking at that little beauty. I don't think I could ever take off without humming it, or playing its cue via MP3...
Also, if I thought I had the money to keep it properly, that's the copter I'd want to train to get my license on. I'm severely tempted to buy it right now, just on general principle -- $12K is awfully damn reasonable. But who knows when if ever I'd get it home, or where I'd keep it, or what I'd do with it once I got my license (other than pour hundred dollar bills into the engines and set them on fire...)

I just noticed from your footer, Jason , that you wrote a book. You might want to make a kindle version available.
At the time I wrote the book, I had to include special formatting to help signal when "subauthors" were writing. Kindle would have obliterated the formatting leaving no signals to help the reader. Not really Kindle's problem (it's a design issue in the narrative), but not one it could solve either. A pdf works of course, and I do have those available for sale at the distributor.
I've been meaning to work on getting the first book reformatted and converted to a print-on-demand version so I can finish and release the next books -- I've been waiting mainly to save up enough money to get them produced nicely like the first book, but it wasn't like that ever had many sales, so... ;)

Meanwhile: here's the first book on pdf! >:D If you like it you can go to the Amazon page, go to the independent sellers, look for my entry or entries there, and pay what you want; I'll get half and Amazon gets half plus the sales rating will tick up a bit temporarily. ;)

Dude, that thing costs a grand. You can get 3D printers for under 500 bucks now. The one I got was just $350 during a Newegg flash sale. Also, that Dremel only prints with PLA filament, which breaks down in sunlight over time. ABS is a better choice if you want durability in your final pieces.
I would like a real sword like in Skyrim to carry around in public to impress people. Preferably one like Dawnguard that shines in the dark and scares away undead. And a suit of armor that matches. I don't need a horse to ride. Living in the country, it's already too common.

^ I've actually been thinking about getting a refurbished PS3 from GameStop, and just getting connectors so I can use my computer monitor.
The PS4 is too expensive right now. I bet this PS4 bundle will be $500 or more with this branding.
With the available game library, a refurb'd PS3 is still the superior choice. While still doubling as a decent quality Blu player!

Due to the noise made by the air intakes in the wing roots.
With those fan blades, it'd be better as a Thunderbolt... at least you could envision the fan blades as paddle props then.

Yes, they shoot airsoft plastic ball bearings. And smoke. With sound.
Yes, they have a wide selection of other WW2 armor.
Yes, they cost north of $300 each.
Yes, my niece wanted a car with a battery she could ride around in this Christmas, but her Mom said no.
Yes, my brother got me into strategy/war games originally, and loves WW2.
Yes, as a matter of fact, the nieces have always been curious about WW2 since Bro convinced Ishy that the Chronicles of Narnia movies were age-appropriate somehow (because Lewis wrote the stories).
No, there is no way Ishy will let me buy two of these for the girls. One Soviet and one Nazi.

I presume the four blade-systems are counter-rotational, but in a real counter-rotation helicopter (like the Russian Alligator or whatever that badass thing is called), there is only one set of grossly complex things that have to constantly go right.

Is that thing to hang onto in case the plane goes down? As in flying you to the ground safely? I'd prefer a parachute. And it better not eat my in-flight peanuts.

I had a little Enterprise hovercraft like that when I was a boy, back in the 70s; but it was attached by a thin wire to a central pole, so it could only fly in a circle. Same concept though, up down forward back, like a helicopter.

That was amazing~!
What I want is a virtual pinball machine. It plays all of the FX2 pinball games. It also plays all of the classic pinball games that have been converted to virtual pinball. You can shake it. It has the back-panel lights and scores. It feels almost like playing arcade pinball. Sounds are 100% accurate. Feel is about 90% there. And it has almost no moving parts so you don't have to fix it forever. I spent about 5 hours total playing it at the Southern Fried Game Expo last weekend. Thing plays about 260 pinball games (200 classic games and 60 games designed for a virtual environment). I would play a virtual game, then play the real thing and compare. It was very close.
It was on shark tank. It really is the bomb!
See: https://virtualpinball.com/
Only drawback is the one with solenoids that give you the absolute best pinball feel runs $8,000. But you can fit 260 machines into one machine and play it. Only room for 2 more pinball machines in my home - so I'm seriously (like 95%+) likely to get it.
If you like pinball - it is the next best thing to owning your entire arcade with a great repair guy. But it plays FX2 games like nothing else.
My wife actually thinks I should buy it - and she does not play pinball.
Only draw-back is you cannot play head to head at the same time trading plays.
Space Nerd. I want one.
If I hadn't dropped a couple hundred bucks on various games in the past few weeks, I'd be buying one.

I'm afraid to speculate on the value of ANY of the toys I had when I was a kid. My mom and I reminisced about my huge Star Wars collection from when I was a kid. :(
One of my stepsons liquidated some of his Star Wars collection on eBay. Some obscure character still in it's original cardboard and plastic wrap went for a couple hundred. It was some cheap 4 buck figurine about 3 inches tall ....

My parents kept mine stuff in their garage. I took it down to sell to a nerd store in Vancouver when I was going to move to Poland in order to get some extra cash. The lady offered me $500 bucks for the lot. I said no and instead suggested that she take everything and sell it and we'd split the profits 50/50. Nearly everything sold in 4 weeks and I netted $1400. Apparently I had some rare stuff that went for a bundle. (rare Jawa figure, some Death Star set that was only sold by Sears, and some mail in Kenner figure accessories).
That Death Star set, I remember clearly. I lived in northern Virginia at the time - think it was 1978 or so - and they were sold out completely in the area. My mom had to ask my stepdad's mom in Texas, whom found it, and sent it to us in Virginia on a bus (of all things; I guess they carry/carried cargo too). I loved that playset and wore it out.

Mine was one you could only get from Sears Canada via mail order. It was all cardboard but it was pretty god damned sweet! I also sent away to Kenner for some special weapons and accessories for the figures that you could only get by cutting out a bunch of proof of purchases. Took about 2 months to get the stuff but it felt like forever when I was 8.

That IS a pretty cool-looking Death Star. Looks cheaply made but I bet it's worth a small fortune today, intact and in good condition.
Not that the Star Wars Death Star plastic monolith wasn't cheaply-made...like I said I wore it out. The cardboard walls, the trash compactor, the elevator, they all one by one fell apart after constant play, sort of like a Yugo.

Whatever happened with CHIP? Didn't you order a couple of the Pocket CHIPs?
I have a CHIP plugged into the TV in the man-cave, but I need a bluetooth keyboard for it b/c the USB ones I have pull too much power thru the CHIP. Plus, I'd have to stand up to make it go. I'm still saving up Amazon gift cards that I'm accumulating thru i-say.com to get this one (http://amzn.to/2kLOYBG), but I like this one (http://amzn.to/2m7GchK), too.
Once I've got it running, I'm going to try to get some web-based apps running on there to see if I can get some big-screen game goodness going.
The PocketCHIP would probably get a lot more use if I knew more about where/how to find Linux apps and get them installed / running. It's not nearly as capable as my Kindle Fire tablet, which is itself not nearly as capable as my daughter's Samsung tablet, so it's tough to do too much with it. It's a nice white elephant, but I need more Linux knowledge to really do much with either of them right now.
I was reading the CHIP forums. Looks like a lot of Linux command line is needed to do stuff.

I saw that this morning. Damn cool.
I drove one of those as a kid, in that exact color. It was a '52 Ford Pickup. It originally had a wooden bed that rotted out. Dad put an International metal bed on it. Used a starter button. I drove that thing on the Farm. Later drove it working on various properties through 1984. Got wrecked in 1986 or so in the snow. Idiot did not leave enough room to stop, rear ended the truck, which spun off the road and nearly hit multiple new cars in a dealership lot. Not a hard collision, but it bent the frame and it was totaled.
Dad would leave the key in the truck when he went to the Post Office hoping to get an APB for "1952 Ford with International Bed" - but nobody ever stole it.

Why are those two Imperials on the left shoe fighting each other?
That's an early Ralph McQuarrie concept painting for the first Star Wars movie. I think it's Luke, in some sort of armor, fighting Vader.
That X-Wing in the Death Star trench is also from a McQuarrie painting.
https://www.buzzfeed.com/danieldalton/stunning-star-wars-concept-art-ralph-mcquarrie
It looks like Luke is wearing a Tie Fighter face mask in that painting.
I think when McQuarrie did the early concept art for Star Wars the story was far from final and he was going on whatever rough material Lucas had at the time. If you look back at the early drafts, it's kinda all over the place about who Vader was, same for Kenobi, Luke, etc. It's pretty cool to get a glimpse of some of the early stuff in the paintings.
I wonder if the Snow Speeders were partly inspired by WW2 Russian fully-enclosed combat snowmobiles (Aerosleds?) the same way that MiL-24s inspired some of the ships in Attack of the Clones:

maybe not as awesome as first assumed
QuoteWithout the opportunity to load up other games, you're left to the mercy of the 300 which have been pre-loaded. These range from genuine NES classics - such as Super Mario Bros. 3, Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden 2, Tetris, Pac-Man, Balloon Fight, Gradius, Donkey Kong and Bomber Man, but the vast majority of titles included are of rather dubious quality. Street Fighter V is an hilarious bootleg version of Street Fighter II, while Man in Red is Space Invaders but with a soldier (yes, he's dressed in red) doing the shooting from the bottom of the screen. Titles such as Rural Goblin, Mad Xmas, Awful Rushing and Raidon Bungeling give away the console's Far Eastern origins, and there's even a clone of Angry Birds thrown in for good measure - which in reality is New Zealand Story with different sprites (the original, untouched NES version of Taito's classic is also included, bizarrely).

even factoring in exchange rates and postage... still better off buying it from American Amazon
Barth, I'm guessing your U.S. P.O. box for delivery doesn't help you one whit in being able to order from U.S. Amazon?
That is some seriously f-d up price gouging.
I'd wonder if it's possible for you to open a small account in the U.S., get a bank card, and make your game purchases off of that. I'm guessing that is something you've considered but it's not allowed for whatever reason.
I did that. I got a US PO Box just across the line in Washington state and got a US dollar credit card with that PO Box listed as the address and opened a US Amazon account. And then I never, ever use it. The border was enough of a hassle beforehand but now that Washington's got legalized dope, the Feds guarding the border on both sides are even more anal that normal. Just not worth the drive and the interrogation 99% of the time. Having said that, Amazon Canada's pricing is brutal in a lot of cases. I was going to pick up a copy of Federation Commander but I can't find a copy of either base game anywhere in Canada right now. US has it for $59 USD. 3rd party sellers in Canada wanted $227 for it. (one recently popped up wanting $89 for it which isn't too bad...)
Seems there'd be a lot more business for Canada if they'd lay off of whatever tariffs are causing these spikes. I know squat about economics, international or otherwise, but it makes no sense that a country that's (forgive me) very, very similar to the US (cultural-wise anyway - just a dumbass American's opinion) for it to be so far apart when it comes to merde like this.
I don't think it's tariffs. NAFTA prevents a lot of that. It's 3rd party sellers that are doing the gouging in most cases.
scabs.

This! >:(
Most items are tariff free... it's the gougers that think because they are in Canada they can make it "easy" for us.
Well screw them. I order a bunch of stuff to have it delivered to my US address then make one trip when it 's worth it.
Fuckin scabs. :pullhair:
That's why I don't get why you can't order off of Amazon US.
I mean, I suppose it's a normal thing...e.g. I can't order anything off of Amazon UK while in the States, but in the UK, no problem.
Maybe Barth uses a VPN to access Amazon US? Use the VPN to link through a US connection and voila! It's also how some folks get around Netflix' country-specific content blocks.

The Commodore shall rise again. Kampgruppe, my very first C-64 game. :smitten:
I still have my C64... and it works. :nerd:
We had a C64 with a 5.1/4" floppy drive, then an Amiga 500, then an Amiga 600HD - with a 20mg HD! Such technology.
I wish I still had my TRS-80 Coco, C64, and Amiga 500. :(
I'm good without the VIC-20 I used to have. The TRS-80 III was my first personal rig, though. Good times, coding in BASIC all day.

p'shaw...
real men coded in AtariLOGO :cowboy:
I do not know this blasphemy of which you speak.
Then again I didn't get around much in coding. BASIC, almost COBOL (thank goodness I never got that far), and lately, ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0, but not so much in the last five years or so.
Pfffttt... BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, PDP-11 machine code.... kids these days.... :-"
There's still computers that run FORTRAN and PDP-11? :o
Kids! Over here, look! A real live dinosaur!

It's scary how many legacy systems are still running FORTRAN, et al. Big problem in the financial sector and some others.
If the C-64 is coming back, can the monochrome monitor be far behind?
My first VGA system had a black-and-white monitor. It was a Commodore PC, too.

Very definitely in the cool category! I'll fight u for it with the airsoft gun!!!!

Good to have you back on the air! What's new on the Emerald Isle?
I hear it's less 'emerald' since the storm hit.
Hi guys :bd: thanks for saying hi! I haven't been away really.... I've been haunting the threads like a ghost, lol, keeping up with all your groggy shannanigans!
Yeah, we had hurricane ophelia a week or so ago, then storm Brian hit...... I wish these people with all the bad weather would just leave us all the hell alone ;D the hurricane was the scariest, just the noise alone is terryfying! But we didn't get any damage to us or our property, and all my friends were fine too :) one thing it did for us is clear all the autumn leaves off our garden for us, whoo hoo, tidied the lawn of leaves.... Left us with a ton of fallen branches from the trees around us, so yeah, thanks for that mother nature, gives with one hand, takes with another!!!!!
What's new with you guys? I'm glad you made it through unscathed with the hurricane you got in florida sir slash :)
So that's where all those damned autumn leaves in my driveway came from? Probably that confused Leprechaun too. Or maybe he was just drunk. Cause I asked him if I could see his 'Lucky Charms' and he dropped his pants. :o Hurricanes make everybody act crazy like that though. Glad you didn't get hit too hard Emeraldis.
Yeah, sorry 'bout that sir slash! Leaves is one thing..... Easy leprechauns are another ;D they can only be lured away by rainbows, pots of gold and the promise of a free vacation in the lovely florida sunshine, so they headed your way!!!! Don't worry though, the Guinness will lure them back :bd:
Glad you're doing well over there in all that sunshine..... I'm not bitter MUCH!! Lol. :)

I should look into that since, oddly enough, I actually have a both a double headed axe and a single blade bearded axehead that needs hafting. The reason the latter needs hafting is because I suck at axe throwing and broke the damn thing.

while cruel, and probably illegal, that's pretty f'n' funny
Yeah, that is pretty funny. Squirrels are pretty flexible so likely all that one got was the idea that it's not smart to go by that house again.
There's a video called "exploding varmints" that Red Letter Media covered in one of their Best of the Worst videos. It was extremely cruel since the video (not done by RLM, btw) showed a couple of rednecks filming themselves going around and shooting gophers with ballistic-tip 50-grain ammo in a Model 70 Winchester .223 (I fast forwarded as most of the video is animal gore pr0n pretty much, to get to the info - they really do a number on those little furry beasts). I won't link the uncensored video here but if you really want to go look for it, I'm sure you can find it.
RLM censors the bad stuff but their reactions are priceless. Go to 12:45 to begin, though they do jump around between the three videos.

That's not the kind of glasses my pugs drink out of. They're more of a 'mug' kind of drinkers.

Helicopters and piston aircraft don't have shrouds, nor do rotary-based drones of any size. Any type of housing could adversely impact lift or functionality. Perhaps a simple frame or bumper to create distance around the rotors, but the only way to ensure safety is to operate and pilot appropriately and safely. I doubt these will ever be common modes of transportation at any time in the near future, and if that appears to be changing, they will become heavily regulated, just as is now happening with drones for commercial and hobby operations.

Not an entirely accurate portrayal. There are a number of helicopters with tail rotor shrouds (though, granted, they are more designed to protect the rotor rather than protecting an idiot from walking into it), and the main rotor is generally above head height in normal operation. There are also numerous models of recreational drones with full or partial shrouds. Piston aircraft are also generally operated from much more controlled environments than which this would appear to be designed. It would just seem that eight rotors of that size all at human height on four corners presents new levels of human-ginsu potential. :DD

Good point about some models of tail rotors...but yes, those are intended to protect the rotor, not idiots.
I agree that these will be used in non-traditional operational environments and will therefore need certain modifications that more traditional aircraft do not have. However, these are a novelty and will not be common place. Until they are truly developed for mass use, I don't expect that much more in the way of rotor protection will be a priority.

there are so many fun things when you dont have kids. <:-)
I'm looking forward to the Lego, 'Firefly' diorama. It only has 11 pieces, the rest are cancelled. :2funny:
Actually, 14.
But the show was cancelled after #11. :'(
have any of you recently walked into a Lego store at the mall?
$700.00 Star Destroyer kits that you need a garage for.
$800.00 AT-AT
$800.00 Falcon
I get the catalogues every month. My kids have outgrown building them with me but I may get the AT-AT for myself. We still have 5-6 unbuilt sets, including at least one Star Wars set :/
where do you have the space?
I can make some.
with your wifes permission?
I have my 'thangs,' The Wife has hers.
Saucy...
:o Does Legos have an Adult version of their toys? Or is that, 'Snap-On Tools'?
its cute how Gus thinks his wife would be fine with a three foot Star Destroyer in the house.
^We already have a Star Destroyer. It's not put together, though. The plan was to assemble it with my younger daughter and then hang it with fishing line from her ceiling. One day, with more time.
For me, I'd love to get the AT-AT, but that will have to be when I retire and have the time since I will probably be assembling it alone :/
was your plan to crush your daughter?
Of course. Don't tell anyone.
I would make sure to plug that Exhaust Port else there could be trouble. Just saying. ::)
Keep your mits away from my daughter's exhaust port.
that escalated quickly
Never heard it called that before but... point taken. Better check her for Wookies. They can get into places you'd never think they would fit. :o
