That's the hard part - I've been doing them for years but compiling them is soooooo hard

Yeah well I didn't want to do it again, but I did think that would be a little bit harder.

No, it was a good one!
Well constructed, well phrased. You were just unlucky that it went so quick!

Well, actually it's a brushless motor controller:
Custom Talon 120HV, 120AMP, 12S MAX, HEAVY DUTY BEC W / POLARIZED CONNECTOR[^]
Up to 120A/6000W continuously. Out of a battery. If that's still too playful for you: Electric cars use the same sort of motors, controllers and batteries and need even more power (probably by increasing the voltage and not by even higher currents).
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

From that site...
"Overpowering RC[Remote Control] Since..."
And that component...
"For set-ups with limited airflow, such as under canopies or in a fuselage, there is an optional 40mm fan"
Excuse me? What kind of kit is someone building to fly around their backyard that requires a cooling unit on the power controller?

As ugly as this flying style is, it requires an enormous amount of skill from the pilot, a lot of motor power (which electric motors easily can deliver) and a battery that can provide this power without instantly exploding.
The 12 serial cell battery has about 51 V fully loaded (nominal value about 44.4 V) and the motor is between 10 kW - 14 kW. With the voltage more or less fixed, this power can only be supplied trough a high current.
Are you on your way to the store to get one already?

No, I know for a fact that I do not and am unlikely to ever have such skills.

Took the family to see A Quiet Place last night. You'd think that a film that had very little in the way of dialogue couldn't present much in the way of menace but it's a testament to the skill of a very small cast that they managed to enthral us all.

Haven't seen it yet. I must admit I like 'horror' films that make you uncomfortable rather than spraying blood everywhere. I liked the 'Blair Witch Project' for that very reason...it gave you a 'sense' of menance rather than this is the bad thing it will get you...

It doesn't stray too far into the gore category, fortunately.

I am looking forward to seeing this movie. I appreciate movies like this. As I get older, the need for gore in a movie to thrill me, subsides.

I would have to agree. I used to love gore-fest films but now, I prefer ones where they use acting to disturb you. The problem I have with the gore films is that I have long had a fascination with special effects so I find myself appreciating the art of the FX team, rather than enjoying the movie - it's hard to be shocked or scared when you are thinking, "Cool, so they used blood bags situated around the neck there". When a film relies on plot and dialogue instead, it's a lot easier to immerse yourself and jump when there are startling parts.
