I have a bridge in Brooklyn that's on sale for 30% off today.

Here are some birds reacting to those highly reflective materials.

How are you connecting the card to the computer? An internal card reader on the computer or an external card reader and cable? The cable may be the limiting factor. Older, simpler cables just can't handle higher data transfer speeds.

Refusing to deal with stolen property seems like a proper moral decision to me. The original post says your paid $1000 for the drone.

The current tariff rate on imports from China is 145%.

I remember that note being there three years ago, so it's not related to the recent tariff increases. The sub-$800 de minimis exemption was eliminated for exports from China and Hong Kong as part of the Trump tariff hikes.

Are you saying that the prices on DJI's website have increased recently? Or prices on DJI products from US resellers?

It's very clear that the enormous tariffs recently implemented were initiated at Trump's direction. China retaliated at each step. I'd love to see a factual history of tariffs between the US and other nations. Some of the claims of a gross imbalance are obviously incorrect, including many of the...

Operating in restricted airspace without authorization is substantially more likely to attract attention than flying a little too far and high. You might consider keeping the drones and flying in non-restricted areas.

Were you operating inside the boundary of the airspace for KOQU, Quonset State Airport, and the USCG airbase?

Yep. The White House announced this afternoon that the 125% was in addition to the earlier 20%, making the total 145%. With respect to tariffs they seem to have more than a little difficulty lately with numbers and dates. So, it the full tariff is applied to a $199 bare bones Neo, the total...

I've scanned the NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, and FoxNews and didn't see anything saying that neither side is willing to negotiate. In fact, the NY Times quoted Trump as saying that everything was on the table. I don't think the media is causing all the concern about tariffs. The facts are.

The really disturbing news about tariffs is being reported by the White House. There's no media bias in reporting 104% (China) and 25% (Mexico and Canada) and 10% (almost all other countries and a few uninhabited islands).

Apples shouldn't be compared to oranges. There have never been tariffs similar to these, applicable to all products from nearly all countries. There have never been 25% across the board tariffs applied to imports from our neighbors Mexico and Canada. These tariffs have triggered massive...

My old Mavic 3 Pro may be too valuable for me to fly now.
