Just look at this glorious thing 🤩

If I won the lottery, I'd buy a DA62 Survey Star with an Ultracam Dragon. And then I'll do glacier surveys pro Bono.

Anybody has $5.000.000 and a lifetime maintenance and hangar budget? I also need a pilot license 🪪

This is a brilliant graphic explanation. One of my least favorite sentences is "you can't tax unrealized gains". You can, you should, eat the rich.

Still seems like it's space age stuff compared to *the whole field of dentistry*.

For real. I have an Android app that's like 850mb and requires the internet to run. Basically a 2001 flash game that should take, maybe 2mb.

Well, that's not at all what the picture says.

Would be fun if it wasn't a brazing lie. Just in tiny Norway, they sold 17.000 already.

Is this about Climate Change?

To get geometry, yes. To get scale, I'd need *something*. Photos would have (maybe imperfect but good enough) geotags to scale the model. Here... :/

The Dronelab@UiO is now testing the #CentipedeRTK network, first with a small test base on the roof of @uio.no Geoscience ;)

First flight of the DroneLab@UiO's @sphengineering.bsky.social Zone Aero LF carried by our old reliable @djiglobal.bsky.social M300RTK!

I think the fact that Trump's actions were probably illegal/unconstitutional is a pretty irrelevant one compared to the fact that the USA just unilaterally attacked a sovereign nation. Not in self defense. Not because of reasonable threats. Because of bloodlust.

50% is a good sale for @starwarsoutlaws.ubisoft.com But the multiple tiers of whatever those options re just make me want to wait for a sale that will make the Gold Premium Christmas Special Edition affordable.

Got myself a tinywhoop (Betafpv Meteor 75 Pro O4), incredibly fun, and very crash friendly 🤪
Seen here "diving" down to my garden.

Answered a 1 question survey, and said I 3/5 happy about my internet provider. Mostly because it's about 2x too expensive.
Immediate consequence? The message below: "Well call you about this".
Now it's 2/5.

Fun with the "POI" option in the @djiglobal.bsky.social Matrice 4E and 169mm lens ;)

The DroneLab@UiO was tasked to make a safe system to demo the concept of measurement in vertical profiles to students. To stay flying in the A1 category (which allows flying close to people), and making the operations super easy, we modified a @djiglobal.bsky.social Neo with a <40g backpack!

You weren't wrong though. Magahats miss the obvious all the time, it's kind of their thing.

Oh, really? I found it quite catchy, wouldn't have been mad if they won!
