    It’s not a meme, people genuinely get upset about this. There was a post on a lemmy about the Comptia A+ study guide that had the question “What is GNU” with the answer of “It has to do with Linux” and people were writing essays on why this was not correct.





  • It’s because it counts as an aircraft. Getting licenced to use your drone for anything more than “wooo, flyin mah drone” covers a lot of the same stuff a private pilot would know like reading the maps, airport landing procedure, and airspace. They treat it like an actual airplane. And you can’t just start blasting at airplanes because they flew over your house. If it’s doing more than just flying over it has to be addressed legally.




  • If lightsabers were real you would probably not be able to recover from losing a fight and getting one in you. Not because recovering from a stab is impossible, but if it was a real fighting style they would not go in and out so clean. You’re telling me a sith lord would be so gentle coming out and not just go straight up through the face? I understand that that is a little to graphic for star wars but people would look like they’d been through a slap chop after losing to someone like darth maul.








  • I know you are just being silly, but to answer your question, the point of those groups (ducks unlimited, pheasants forever, whitetail whenever, turkeys tomorrow, raccoons all noons, etc) is to put money into conservation of those animals so that their populations stay great enough that they can be hunted.

    So yes, the goal is for the ducks to be unlimited.


  • Fuel efficiency is a consideration but if you want a truck you really don’t have many options. You would think the mid size ones do ok but they really don’t, at least mine didn’t. I just got a full size diesel truck which can get around 30mpg on highway but usually the diesel engine costs more than the price difference of using a gas engine over like, a lot of years. (20mpg vs 30mpg but $5k more at purchase. Can buy a lot of gas for $5k).





  • I’m a falconer. Basically no one uses owls for falconry because they have poor generalization intelligence. They have a really hard time transferring knowledge from one situation to another. So you get them flying to you inside and they are nailing it, then you move outside and it has no idea what to do. Every new situation needs to be trained. They are fine for shows and stuff when they are doing the same thing over and over again but constantly putting them in new situations like hunting would do is a recipe for disaster. A “lot”(maybe a dozen a year in US lol) of falconers try to use owls but very few are successful with them.
