Hi

I'm not fidgety enough to buy a toy specifically for that, but these things popped up on youtube and looked like fun to play with, so I googled the name.
Turns out they cost $150 to pre-order, and hundreds had previously joined a waiting list to pay double that. Some videos people mention having to pay up to $700 resale for it.

This guy talks nearly half an hour about a piece of metal on a bearing. Seeing all of this quickly put me off of any EDC junk, but to each their own.

I got a Logitech G602 mouse, hoping that wireless will treat me right.

Thats a cool toy, where can I buy the chinese knockoff?

An dude I know downed one that was buzzing his kayak by casting a sinker at it until his line got snagged in the blades. He yanked it into the water, then trashed it when he landed. That sounds more fun then actual fishing.

Almost as much as flying a weed whacker with a camera attached around in public is. Stay out of casting range and you don't have to worry about it.

Seems like a pretty dumb thing to do. If it has a camera attached to it, they obviously are going to see you trying to knock it down. That combined with the fact that you had to transport your kayak to the lake with some sort of a vehicle, you're likely to come back to some broken windows, keyed up paint, flat tires, etc.

Messing with peoples personal property goes both ways. Not something I would suggest.

Don't care, drones are annoying as poo poo, windows are replaceable. Also messing with with random redneck's cars isn't super advisable and good luck picking mine out of a parking lot full of them. Buzzing someone within 50-60' is absurdly rude and you deserve to have your toy broken. In any case the trend seems to be towards banning them in most parks around me, so the problem isn't really a huge deal as the dial-a-poacher hotline will gladly send someone around to ticket people for flying them.

Buy some Bones Reds bearings and find a 3d printer for something like this. Glue some poo poo to your bearing, get creative with hardware. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUBsvu1I1Mg

With how popular all these are, it really is only a matter of time for China to work it's magic, though.

Way too much effort, I'm sure someone will produce this stuff cheap if they aren't doing it already.

A pair of white Beovox CX100 speakers to match my white Beosystem 7000 stereo. The previous owner refoamed them, but I still have to clean the outside of the cabinets and clean up the cloth.

They both have two 4" woofers and a 1" treble, and they can do 100W in 6ohm.

More or less, I think I was being pretty matter-of-fact and calm about things.

And if I actually manage to do some drone fishing my rage will be fully actualized rather than impotent.

You just described the overall tone of the forums quite well, barring the occasional meltdown (which is probably hammed up too tbh).

Obviously local laws may vary but all y'all fidgeting people need to try picking locks. I don't specifically do it as a fidgety thing, and of course I don't just walk around with a Master #1 and my picks, but on long conference calls or while sitting around thinking over a technical problem it's a nice way to keep your hands busy. I handed a practice Master lock and a single pick to several people I know who've never tried locksport and all of them busted it open in short order, and every single one of them grinned like I do when popping a new lock for the first time. It's not even terribly expensive to get into, either.

As to actual purchases I just bought Battlefield 1 for PS4 so I can play with my IRL gaming friends and I'm so close to just buying it for PC as well so I can play this weekend.
