But getting an SUV just makes the entire vehicle taller, it doesn't help you see the road in and of itself. You still need to properly adjust the seat height/position like you would in any car. I've seen plenty of short people driving SUV's who aren't sitting in the correct position are are therefore completely oblivious to the cars immediately surrounding them.

Speaking of cars I purchased 4 tire pressure sensors for the wheels I got a while back. Guy who did the wheels didn't realize my oem wheel's sensors wouldn't fit the new ones, so he said he'd install them for free once I bought them.

I see tons of moms in SUVs that can barely see over the steering wheel. :stonk:

Smart woman. Performance really doesn't matter unless you're towing something.

You're a moron, how are you going to win a stoplight Grands Prix without performance? Sometimes you need good acceleration as much as you need good braking and handling. Safety is not only measured in how many airbags you have.

Swedish style? No.
Yugoslavian style? Of course not.
It has to be Zlatan-style.

Motor vehicle safety isn't about being able to avoid an accident, it's about making sure you are the least injured party when you inevitably crash due to inattention or poor driving skills

Just googling around for "3DR Solo" will get you videos, etc. with some interesting things. I'm more interested in the fact that I can use my Nexus 6 as a live-view monitor for the thing while recording. Also the ability to downsample mediocre 4k footage into fantastic 1080p video is a massive plus.

I have that. The keys are a bit mushy after a Thinkpad but it does the job for an HTPC.

My PC is in my basement on a server rack where my receiver and junk is. So it's probably 25' or so and through one floor. I guess if it doesn't work "long rear end USB extension cable" will be my next purchase.

Ahh that sucks. I'm a little worried about how long this is going to take. 3DR said about 6 weeks, but who knows :(

I hope they get that blackmagic gimbal for their Ursa Studio Mini 4K.

If you do end up needing a good, long usb cable, this one is awesome:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/BlueRigger-...=usb+cable+blue

Bought it to connect up a webcam and am currently using it for my wireless mouse, pinned up on the wall with the receiver plugged into it, because the mouse couldn't get a good signal to the PC on the floor.

(I don't know what the £25 is about, I've never seen it go over £10)

A long time ago I bought a cheap wireless keyboard. Its range sucked so I took apart the receiver and wired up a telescoping antenna from an old radio. I was able to type from about 200ft away (3 houses down).

I'm very glad I opted for the PS4 version, even though I could have gotten the PC version cheaper. It's so plagued with problems WB pulled it from Steam.

Not sure if it exists for iOS but on Android Unified Remote is well worth the purchase.

I felt like the time was right for a new video game console, so I picked up an Xbone with The Master Chief Collection, Dead Rising3, and a play and charge kit.







I'm not a big fan of shooters so I haven't played much Halo, but Dead Rising is fun as hell

Also got a new Edge Finder to replace one I broke
