What can MAGA’s do to stop Biden from cheating again?

: Joel Lipman; Jokes; 28 August 2024; Hits: 244

A guy goes to a bar and is served by a robot bartender. The robot says, "What'll you have?" and the guy says, "A martini." He then gets the best martini he's ever tasted. The robot says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "167." The robot proceeds to chat with him about subatomic physics, black holes, and game theory.

Curious, the guy comes back a second night. "What'll you have?" says the robot and the guy again receives the best martini of his life. "What's your IQ?" "100." The robot proceeds to chat about NASCAR, Budweiser, and John Deere tractors.

The guy comes back a third night and this time when asked says, "About 50." The robot leans in real close and says, "Isn't it terrible the way Biden stole the election?"

Some more distractions. This is my filming of some Radio Controlled cars at the Torch Racing, UK event last Sunday. The FPV latency isn't good on this camera so it was no use here, so several challenges:

I decided to repair the hull integrity of my DJI Phantom FC40 after a crash and sorta had the day off so... There are so many pictures because I wanted to be sure I could put it back together again, I'd recommend anyone who doesn't have a photographic memory to do the same.

My beloved DJI Phantom and the Hubsan X4 H107C

So I just started another YouTube channel which I'll try to transfer my Joomla videos over to but in the meantime you can be subjected to my quadcopter videos. Here are a few quick ones, the Hubsan H107C and its Q4 Nano, then the DJI Phantom.

First up, the Hubsan X4 H107C for $60 USD filming at a reduced 720x480 25fps then further compressed by YouTube Capture app (but includes stabilization): {youtube}jFJJY5uUT0E{/youtube}

Leap Motion and AR Drone

: Joel Lipman; Quadcopters; 17 May 2013; Hits: 8504

Leap Motion is a USB gesture control device you can connect to a computer which behaves much like a mouse or trackpad but in 3 dimensions. Available July 2013 for public release (you can pre-order if you like @ https://www.leapmotion.com/). It's noted for it's accuracy and response to finger gestures and it's compatibility with major platforms.

The following videos were shown to me by a colleague at work. I was so impressed I just had to post them. So here's a screenshot, read more if you want the videos:

The Mermaid

'Twas a Friday morn when we set sail
And our ship not far from land,
We there did espy a fair pretty maid,
With a comb and a glass in her hand,
Her hand, her hand,
With a comb and a glass in her hand.

Room with a view E.M. Forster

Taking a break from website migrations. Thought I'd share some thoughts I was reminiscing of:

"We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won't do harm--yes, choose a place where you won't do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine."

...

"...she reflected that it is impossible to foretell the future with any degree of accuracy, that it is impossible to rehearse life. A fault in the scenery, a face in the audience, an irruption of the audience on to the stage, and all our carefully planned gestures mean nothing, or mean too much."
