  • As much as I love drones, the current tech has a lot of limitations. They’re awesome for small kamikaze stuff, but they don’t even compare to real weapons like a tomahawk if it really came down to heavy combat. With that said, drones offer so much more precision and a safer war.

    1. Power the weight ratio is pretty bad. 7” drones or smaller can’t carry a large load.
    2. Battery life is pretty awful with lipo and li-ion lasts longer but much less burst power for maneuvering.
    3. Range is decent, a few miles (Tomahawk can go 100’s of miles), but need a clear flight path and longer distance introduces more latency. Additionally any interference can ground you easily especially at very long range, granted you can program return to home.
    4. Wind plays big factor especially at high elevation.
    5. Not very stealthy. Granted a war zone is loud, but you can hear a drone coming pretty easily.

    All that said, I’m very interested in where drone tech will be in 20 years.







  • If you’re not feeling like being around people, don’t be around people. If you need social interaction, you have to make the effort to make people want to be around you. Sure, you might find some people that’ll get you and put up with you being a dick to them, but that’s pretty rare. Especially in a time where people are feeling comfortable going no contact with their family.

    Relationships are a two way street and take effort. Take some time to be your own friend. Be kind to yourself and you’ll find it easier to be kind to others.

    Now the obvious, totally don’t mean it in a judgy way, part: If you’re not talking to a professional about your depression and desire to have positive social interactions, you should.

    Good luck!
