Normally, I start my days with a variant of Bulletproof Coffee. I like to “supercharge” mine by throwing in 15 micrograms of LSD, 60 milligrams of Adderall, four 5-hour Energy drinks and a dollop of rhinoceros semen. It’s invigorating — the grass-fed butter really works wonders. Sadly, I woke up a little later than usual today and have time only to parachute a handful of crushed caffeine pills and munch on a stick of butter on the way out of my apartment.

actually that is two separate signs. the first is a warning that non-vehicles may enter the roadway, similar to like the moose warning sign. the second is just a reminder to stay in your lane.

it's painfully obvious from their concepts that no one has the slightest clue how much work will actually be involved in reconfiguring their "modular" buildings. it will happen once, if ever, and never again.

i have a friend who works way up in the arctic at one of those fancy ecotourist resorts for extremely wealthy assholes

they are located so close to the magnetic north pole that the declination is like 70 degrees off -- i.e. magnetic compasses don't point remotely near true north. this means that although the gps satellite constellation still works, gps navigation generally does not. not a big deal as there are no roads anyway.

however, one rich dude from NYC wanted to fly his multi-thousand dollar drone to take aerial pictures. they said it was a bad idea because gps doesn't work right and it might go out of control. he ignored them and launched it anyway and it immediately flew out over the ocean and crashed. he threatened to make them pay for it, and when the owner just laughed at him, spent the rest of the day sulking.

well that's my story ok bye

i just don't see how this results in a drone not being able to navigate, unless the thing the operator wanted it to do was specifically follow a magnetic heading.

like i doubt the cheapy ones with a glorified rc car controller care about a compass direction, you steer them basically all manually and even the very fancy ones still have that usually. and you're usually expected to keep the thing in visual range to handle that, or you're going to be putting on a camera that can be used for flying visually.

plus the ones fancy enough to have gps nav should be able to move between gps waypoints absent the magnetic compass even if it'll be less reliable than if you're sitting at the magnetic equator and can expect the most reliable compass response.

facebook policies allow nazis pragmatically because they just want all the engagement they can get and optimistically because its the kind of company staffed by radical centrists that feel like they're accomplishing a great ideological feat worthy of praise by accommodating nazis

You've never had crawfish????

They are good if you are a meat eater. You chill around a table drinking, munch on some veggies, peal and eat some crawfish. The effort/reward is pretty low but overall a good drinking time.
