Tough man, and lots of fun little toys to play with in there though. There's just so many different things out there today that if you don't mind putting money into it, you can play around with. There's a lot of really cool tech. I'd love to try flying a drone with the headset on. My big problem with flying a drone is once it gets so far away, I can't see it anymore. And once I can't see it anymore, what direction is pointed? You know, because there's different color LEDs on the front and the back, but I can't see that once it gets so far away. And if I could just look as if I was flying out the eyeballs of it, I'm assuming that would be a lot of fun. Because you don't need to see the drone that way. I mean, I can see perfectly clear through a VR headset or something like that to tell where I'm going and when I want to turn around. I can see what's in front of me and what's below me and stuff. So that I think I would be able to do without too much trouble. Because I mean, I do know how to fly a drone. I know about yaw and pitch and roll and all these kind of things that you can set to keep the drone in position. Although a lot of the newer ones now do all that stuff automatically. I've got a cheap one there that my brother-in-law gave me. And I can fly it around the house, no trouble at all. My cats absolutely despise the thing. But it's just one of these, I think he might have paid a hundred bucks for it like two or three, three or four years ago. Yeah, it was more around 2020, 2021. And it's in a little case. It's got a controller. You can snap your phone into it. It's got cameras. They're crappy cameras, crappiest cameras I've ever seen. But it's got two of them. And you can switch. You can switch it to looking out the bottom of the drone or out the front of the drone. But I haven't been able to get the app to work very well. It's kind of janky. But when I'm in my house with it, I don't even need my phone. I just use the controller and I can fly it around and hover it in my living room. And it's got the altitude on it. So when you let go of the controller, it doesn't just fly off and go off into the abyss. It'll kind of stay where it's to unless it's windy. I tried flying it in the front yard already. I almost lost it over the top of the house. So I'm not good with them outside. But this, it's only small. It's like, I think they said it's like the size of a DJI Mini. You know, it's a, you fold the arms out. The arms have the props on them and it folds up like they all fold inward. And then you put it in the case. But when you want to use it, you just fold out the arms. It gave me a couple months back and I don't want to because if I break it, you can have it many times. I haven't flown it in like three years. So you smash it up, it's no big deal. But I haven't, surprisingly enough. And it only has one battery. So I only get like 10 minutes of fly time. So I've maybe flown it like 10 times or something just here in the living room. I'll sit in the chair and I'll put it in the middle of the living room and I'll, you know, take off with it. And I'll fly it back and forth to living room and up and down the hallway and everything. I'll fire it up. It makes this like really ghastly noise. Cats are scared shitless of us. They really are. They're terrified, all of them. Dewey goes over and he'll give it a sniff while it's on the floor before I fire it up. But, you know, it's not great. It's a toy-grade drone at best. But I did look. It's called an M88. An M88 Pro. So if you want to look that up on YouTube, you can go ahead. As a matter of fact, Bill, I'd be curious to see if you looked it up. Does it look like a DJI Mini or what do you think by comparison? It's called an M88 Pro drone. And it's just a small little thing. But it's fun. It's fun indoors. I'm useless at flying it outside because I can't see the direction that it's pointed in. When I'm inside and it's close enough to me, it's got like white LEDs in the front like two headlights. And it's got blue LEDs in the back. So as long as you keep the blue LEDs in view, you're technically behind it. So it's easy. Or you can fly it in something called headless mode. And in that case, it doesn't matter which way it's pointed. If you pull the stick back, it comes back. You push it forward or up and down, it goes forward or up and down or left or right. And it doesn't matter which way it's pointed. But I haven't been able to get that to work properly. But yeah, it's okay. You know, the battery, the controller, the drone itself is rechargeable. You just plug a cable into the battery. And the controller, you put like three double A's in it. And you know, it's good to go. It's fun enough. But same thing. When my brother-in-law was flying it, he almost lost it a couple times. We got it stuck in a tree. And so he said, you know, he might play around with it, at least in the house. And I have been. That's why I know I can fly one. It's just not very well outside when the wind takes it and stuff. And it starts moving around and you don't know what it's doing anymore. KJ5, you're up.
