Seems to have been converted to become a convertible. Did you find any instructions to replicate this mod if I find a stock laptop?

 

Found when browsing Market-Place. Looks like a serious sellers. Although no mentioning of low-ballers and tyre kickers.

Almost 40 artillery units destroyed?! I really hope that russia is going to finally grind itself down with this stupid endeavour.

[–] MeshPotato@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Those motors are just incredible. That they can haul a drone of this small size while carrying a heavy round t speed without melting is just mad.

Not sure what's scarier, a the sound of a little terror drone before an explosion. Or the silence, the feeling of security that there's nothing on a recently cleared path and then seeing my mates vehicle blow up.

Yup. Been there, done that :) Although, if you come in as a Westerner, I do recommend buying a genuine Honda. The hassles your save yourselves compared to the cheap Chinese clones are worth the "premium".

Mind you, you can buy good used bikes for well below 500 USD. A new Wave 110i is just under 1100 USD in Thailand.

Workhorse. Looks to me like a clone of a Honda Wave 125.

I guess it's "built" to haul some really heavy loads. Is it me or is one rear shock bent?

I've never been to Hawaii but lived in South East Asia.

The big question I have is: how fast are they riding? Are they puttering around, barely breaking 40kmh which is a speed you can reach as a cyclist?

That's very different to the squids you see on 1000cc bikes racing up and down at 70-160kmh weaving between cars.

Very important russian airfield attacked. The air defence can't do s#1t about it and all that's needed are a few missiles from the 90s!

That guy builds drones like no-one else's business.

I wish Australia and more countries would invest into small businesses that can build these kind of drones.

The cost to to effectiveness ratio of these is just insane. Ukraine has proven the effectiveness of loitering munitions.

Edit: Fixed typo and grammar.

Yup. One issue from long storage is that the fuel in solid fuel rockets can start to separate. Ryan McBeth did an explanation on a possible cause on that AA missile failure.

As you mentioned, some explosives also become unpredictable. The Takata airbags sending shrapnel into drivers faces comes to mind.

I suspect the failure rate goes up. Have you seen the video of the Russian AA missile pretending to be a boomerang 🪃 and flying back to its launch point?

That's what can happen with old rockets.

 

Great video released by Saint Javelin. Don't forget to buy swag their swag as they donate heavily in Ukraine or donate directly to one of the many charities that support Ukraine in their fight against the invasion.

A current state of Place on Reddit shows seems to seems to be signalling something to u/spez :)

 

Spans down on road section of the Kerch bridge.

 

It lasted nearly 2 weeks longer than I had anticipated. First it slowed and now it's finally dead. "Error 429 - Too many requests" is the message I'm greeted with.

Thanks Ruben for your work. I wish I had known the Boost app earlier.

Im now eagerly awaiting Boost for Lemmy.
