Our colony on Nauvis is growing nicely, we have started the construction of our 3th city

The native threat has been reduced significantly.
Last year we where at BEFCON 5 for every month except June with a couple of border incidents and BEFCON 4.
Our scientist have slowed down ore field depletion significantly and we have hard data to back up our commitment and viability of sustaining 20k spm for at least the next 14 months.

Construction of a new rocket city on the outer edge is expected to start within 20 months.

People on facebook keep accusing me of speeding up my Neo footage which is a ridiculous claim as it's unedited footages directly from the goggles and I am only flying 30 to 40 km/h

Is there a way to go back to 60 fps without having to buy a new computer? Just 17 fps is starting to get a little annoying

The DJI Neo 1 and 2 gimbal moves in manual mode to compensate for wind bobbing, and if you dive or hit a leaf or to much wind and the gimbal moves to much by itself it will trigger a mid flight gimbal reset. In manual mode this is 100% a crash or with a bad gps a flyaway.But I have a fix.

The DJI Neo 1 and 2 gimbal moves in manual mode to compensate for wind bobbing, and if you dive or hit a leaf or to much wind and the gimbal moves to much by itself it will trigger a mid flight gimbal reset. In manual mode this is 100% a crash or with a bad gps a flyaway.But I have a fix. When a Neo 1 or 2 goes through a mid flight gymbal reset it will try move the gimbal down 60 degrees then up 90 degree then back to center. But if there is any pressure on the gimbal from the wind this might fail and it will try it again. It's impossible to keep a Neo in the air in manual mode while this is going on. You will have to press break to switch to normal mode. But if you have no good gps lock you WILL have a fly away. A fly away with a gimbal stuck 90 degrees up is worse then a crash because you might not even ever find it again. So do you fly the Neo 1 and 2 in manual mode a lot? And if you do, do you dive or sometimes hit small leafs or even try to race with it? Then the fix is the following: You find a small thin piece of plastic and you jam it in between the Neo gimbal and motor. It needs to be secure in there so it does not fall out. You need to still be able to easily move the camera by hand, but there needs to be enough friction that the software immediatley gives up on trying to move it to prevent the motor from burning out. Don't worry, I have flown for almost 2 years like this ... it does not burn out the camera because the software insta stops trying to move it so the motor never actually gets overloaded. Now only do this when you fly 100% in manual mode and never in sport or normal mode. Flying with a fixed camera angle is not very compatible with sport or normal mode. Also the Neo 1 and 2 even in manual mode will compensate for the bobbing up and down from the wind by moving the gimbal up and down in the other direction. You will no longer have this. Your footage will show way more bobbing, while you are flying you will bob up and down like crazy. But ... you will have much more accurate speed control. Speed is controlled not by your trottle but by your camera angle. The compensating the Neo 1 and 2 do in manual mode against the wind fucks with this. Diving the Neos straight down is almost impossible without my little hack. Now for the perfect angles. With this little hack you can still set a camera angle, right before you fly you use your fingers to move the camera up and down with the goggles on. It will still display on screen the angle you are at. Do not fly under 5 degrees up. It's hard to even fly forward. Need super accurate small space hover control? Then 5 up. You are still learning to land and hover and stuff but you also want some forward speed. 7 up is perfect. Cruise speed is now about 15 km/h Want to go faster but still have tons of control. 13 up is a really nice angle. cruis speed is now around 20 km/h but if you pitch up and trottle up at the same time you can hit 30 to 35 km/h in a trow. 17 up is a good setting for racing. Still of control but your speed can peak at about 40 km/h Once you get super good, try out the 21 to 27 range. At 27 you can cruise at 40km/h with peaks of over 50 km/h I do not recommend anything above 27 up. Yes you will go faster and faster because more and more of your power is for forward flight but also less and less of your power is for lift. And the Neos are already severly underpowered. Fly at over 30 km/h and you can't bail over objects just by giving more trottle. No you have to pitch all the way back. This will kill any speed you have anyways so you won't fly faster, you will fly slower. At least close to the ground and objects. Fun fact in 27 up during a typhoon I was flying in a covered cord yard that blocked most of the wind when I went full throttle during a giant wind gus that still broke through and I hit 100 km/h with it.

I had to piss of an eagle to give my buddies some time to land their RC planes, then I chickened out of there at terminal velocity before it could dive on me.

I just love flying over the ocean while the sun is setting, the blues and greens, the waves, the light reflecting, the thrill of knowing that one mistake and your drone is gone.

I have been in crypto long enough to know how this news of MSTR going to sell Bitcoin will play out.

So MSTR has pretty much been the only and the very last institutional buyer of BTC. At a certain point their buys did not pump the price anymore, they just sustained it. Now the party is almost over and the music about to stop. Most here believe that. So obviously when the news comes out that MSRT is saying they are preparing to sell up to a billion dollars worth of Bitcoin, after the price crashed on them just selling 32 BTC.

Well obviously, EVERYBODY here and their grandmothers are expecting the price to crash.

And what do people who think they are smarter than everybody else do when they are a 100% convinced the price of Bitcoin will go down? They open a short on Bitcoin, or gamble on polymarket that the price will go down.

It's free money right? Borrow some Bitcoin now, sell em quickly, then when MSTR crashes the price buy back the Bitcoin you borrowed and give em back, the price difference is pure profit.

Now currently these shorts are not yet in. Give it a week or so, maybe 2. Price will prob slip a bit to 55K or so.

Then when the shorst start piling in .... BOOM massive 11% pump in a single day! 11% is enough to liquidate everybody that used 10x leverage. When that happens their colletoral is used to buy the Bitcoin they borrowed back which pushed up the price even more. Now it's 22% up, now everybody that shorted with 5x leverage gets liquidated. Their colletoral is used to buy the Bitcoin they borrowed and sell back, to give it back. This pushes the price up even more. BTC is up 30% in 20 hours. And some bot actually posted a 67 meme.

Now all posts on r bitcoin and r cryptocurrency are about people who bough the dip and are making fun of the doubters. All the bots asking the people "Did you buy the dip?"

Some people are saying: Haha, I was right to hold. Now BTC is going straight to 200K by Christmas.

FOMO kicks in again. Retail is buying again because Christmas is coming!

And then MSTR sells their first batch of Bitcoin and we go straight to 45K. Now the posts on r/cryptocurrency are about how this was soooo predictable everybody knew it was going to happen (but today I will catch a million downvotes)

And when somebody thinks he is smarter than everybody else once, he will think it again. So this scenario will probably play out 2 or 3 more times ... before Christmas and BTC at 33k.
