Some local cunt's got a drone, which buzzed my back garden y'day, and then sat and hung over my neighbour's house as I flipped it the bird for more seconds than I'd care to admit.
It sat there perhaps watching me, perhaps looking at something far more interesting, for an irritating amount of time. I considered hoying a tennis ball at it, but I only had the one to hand.
This was a few hours ago.
I've since come up with at least two counter-drone solutions, I see them, which I've not come across beforehand.
So.
How do I go about getting £2M in developmental funding?
I think I'd need £150K, but just to be safe... .

- Did I say £2M?
I meant £15M.Nairn - https://www.droneshi…

- @comicsans, it was floating above my neighbour's house, which is three storeys. When it got bored of irritating me, it zoomed up to God knows how high.Nairn
- @api - I spent a couple of hours last night catching up on the current state of DIY drones. I've been wanting to make one For.Ever. Now I have a reason... :)Nairn

What's an average/good salary for a senior designer/art director at a small agency?
- Which country? In North Korea?shapesalad
- Zimbabwested
- 190k/year and some company benefitspalimpsest
- no way you're getting anywhere near that in the uk ^microkorg
- $190k = £162k
Outside london you'd be lucky getting just the £62kmicrokorg - Detroit is outside of London, innit?palimpsest
- Even in London you'd be lucky to get just the 62k, from what I've seen.Continuity
- UK tops out 50k outside of London. Senior designer roles go for £35k outside london. Inside london yes some are higher than 70k, but most around 60kshapesalad
- but inside london, 60k feels like 10k. outside london far north, 40k feels like 100k.shapesalad

Oh Neat. I've just registered what the 'flowy graph thing' in YouTube video control timelines is - it's how often people restart at that point, highlighting places of interest or, in docs and such, places of needed focus.
I've been studiously ignoring that thing for at least a few days now.

It's been on for months now, hasn't it?

Okteroberfest/Wiesn starts in two days, after having been cancelled for two years because of the pandemic.
And I'm dreading it.
The last two years were bliss. No literal millions of people decending on the city for two weeks, and being obnoxious. No throngs of drunk locals and tourists marauding residential areas, pissing on whatever surface they could aim at, at all hours of the day. No vast lakes of vomit on public transport.
Blah.

I see a lot of complaining about people complaing about The Little Mermaid but I still haven't seen people compaining about The Little Mermaid.
What am I doing wrong?- i'd like to see some data on this 'trending' behavior. on twitter it's impossible to find the actual outrage and when you do it's usually trolling or bad humorkingsteven
- ie. number of statements/ likes in support of a trend vs against. + vacuous anecdotes: "little mermaid is trending, reminds me of the time i shat on a starfish"kingsteven

What's currently happening in the creative tech/ industry is making my head explode, it's hard to keep up with everything.
There are now teens who can do Unreal Engine, AI tools, Blender, coding maybe too, etc etc.
Especially this year it seems like things developed exponentially.

I had to go to THREE stores to find cumin today and there's NO SWEET POTATOES to be seen (that are worth a shit) so my original need for cumin just went out the door... however, the chicken looks great and there's an odd overstock of tortillas... there will be tacos tonight!!!!
Anyone else seeing stock / food shortage issues in their neighborhood? My Wife and I were trying to order / pickup lunch yesterday... we went elsewhere given the option (I took this screen cap not even 24 hours ago):
- that screen cap is from chipotle.com - our local chipotle was out of that food by lunchtimePonyBoy
- fucking brexit...oey_oey
- lol oey.
I thought you'd gone veggie, ponyboy?
is the cumin shortage indicative of some larger problem They Are Keeping From Us?Nairn - I added poultry and dairy back slowly... with regret due to weight gain, swelling and general pain. As for the cumin shortage... thanks, obama. <3PonyBoy
- Why TF you go to chipotle at all?monospaced

My supermarket has an older male security guard who stands at the door in a uniform.
The door is on the side so everyone who leaves the registers has to walk towards directly towards him to go out.
It feels awkward every time I leave because I either have to pretend to look at my receipt or give him acknowledgment and he'll say "goodbye".
Must be so boring to just stand there for hours. He can't do anything but stand and watch people come and go.
- every time you pass, say goodbye in a different language.shapesalad
- What's worse, he likely can't do anything even if he sees a crime. Too much liability. Guards are essentially paid witnesses.monNom

I've spent waaay too much time watching videos about making drones, and drones generally recently.
I'm nowhere near closer to understanding where to begin with all this.
It's going to cost at least a grand to do what I want, I think.
And then about five grand extra in time, self-recrimination and humiliation.
Also, I need a shed.
- I too need a new shed, but check out the latest DJI Avata Pro-View Combo. Saw this thing in action and it's bonkers.stoplying
