  @dustinc can you double my warmth and help me win a sweater?

  Hi @ralf -- Your persistence is admirable, and I appreciate that! I'm a firm believer that in life, everything is about being persistent and going after what you want. When you believe in something, you keep at it, and that's exactly what you've done here. Great work!

  DM sent, we'll get one sent to you on our next shipping batch 👊

  But I guess every publicity is good oublicity

  Thats true. Never any bad publicity these days. People will eat up anything you throw at them it seems

  Yup, that's how the new era works

  like that Hawk Tuah girl

  One of the most hilarious things from her was where many people think her "new york concrete jungle wet dream tomato" was an original joke/meme (a branch of wrong lyrics meme).

  she's just a dumb girl who cost people lots tons of money who bought her cryptocurrency that was scammy

  Oh yeah, it totally was and I hope she or someone involved with it is charge and convicted. It's going to keep happening until someone is made an example of... Similar with how some people feel the need to try shooting down quads/drones. I think it will take the FAA to make an example of someone before it's taken more serious (so far, folks have only been charged with local laws like discharging gun in city, distruction of property, etc.)

  I like drones and I hate guns, and while I would never condone it, if you're flying close enough to someone that you're pissing them off and they're able to shoot your drone down, you're flying far too close to them anyway.

  That's true, bro. I would like to buy a drone some day

  I want one as well but they are pretty much banned all over the place here. Im fairly certain I can't even mess around in my yard with it. Technically only an issue if neighbors complain. I'd like to have one to race around with for fun

  really? why? many trolls?

  Not only that. Most countries have restrictions, mainly airpsace based. They don't wanna see your drones flying over restricted airpsaces, eg.- airports, VIP's homes, military bases, etc.

  Hell, over here, there are cases of enemies of state transporting guns with the help of drones.

  Ooooh I see. It makes sense. Here in Brazil everything is allowed useless you get caught (you will not) lol

  Here as well. I guess infact that applies anywhere. Here, for example, to avoid this scenario, you are allowed to register your drone for commercial purposes (wedding shoots, etc.) on a Govt portal so that they aren't seized for unauthorised use

  but in Brazil the authorites WILL NOT search for you lol. Bc they don't search even for killers, imagine this..

  Damn. Do you mean to say that gang violence and such is still a big issue in Brazil akin to what Mexico and El Salvador have?

  Yes, very much. In some parts, worst than Mexico. Rio de Janeiro, for instance. It's civil war there -- not joking. I'm talking about areas with +300-400 thousands inhabitants controlled by criminal organizations that have even bazookas to shut down helicopters from the police. We have our mafia as well, the PCC, that controls the biggest state of Brazil, São Paulo. They are way less violent than the Rio de Janeiro thugs but still they are pretty dangerous and you shouldn't mess with them (recently they killed a guy in an international airport)

  Man, that's totally not what I had expected for Brazil. I had always thought Hollywood exaggerated stuff, so, I like to hear such stuff directly from people living there. Thanks for your input.

  In the light of all those, what do you think of the new Salvadorian policy of locking up these gang members?

  No problem! Any doubts and you may ask.
  I must say that not ALL of Brazil is extremely dangerous. I live in a place where you can let things in the street and ppl will not pick up. But Rio de Janeiro, especially, is the probably one of the most dangerous places in the earth.

  100% good -- it should be put in place here. PCC pretty much controls the country. In 2006, they stopped São Paulo -- the greatest city in LATAM -- and made a massacre that killed +500 people, mostly cops but also civilians. Everything because their leadership got transfered to another prision. And now they are WAY more powerful. If we don't do nothing, then Brazil WILL become like Mexico, where cartels have more money than the goverment

  I always wanted to go to the world cup when it was there but aside from not being able to afford it, the rumors always scared me away too.. It is a shame that it can be so dangerous there in rio and sao paulo. I feel like that holds the city and its people back from really exploding into an even larger economy (not that its not big already)..

  Is this too political for here ?

  True. Do you like football?
  Not political; the security problem in Brazil is apolitical. We had right-wing and left-wing govs and both of them didn't solve it. It's more like a... i dont know. A deeper issue, right?

  looks like dustin tried to get some hype going but it didnt happen? I'm gonna be on the lookout for a GA or flash deals today.. he mentioned some good chances within 24hr

  Oh yes. We didn't have enough demand at the time. But, the next time, we need to have it ready

  Sad .... In the entire thread, almost finished, we had only 2 GAs...

  It's definitely more than that.

  I think it was just 2. The $8 credit, and then the one that occured at the launch of the thread

  Yeah. That's what i remembered as well

  Man, that's totally not what I had expected for Brazil. I had always thought Hollywood exaggerated stuff, so, I like to hear such stuff directly from people living there. Thanks for your input.

  In the light of all those, what do you think of the new Salvadorian policy of locking up these gang members?

  No problem! Any doubts and you may ask.
  I must say that not ALL of Brazil is extremely dangerous. I live in a place where you can let things in the street and ppl will not pick up. But Rio de Janeiro, especially, is the probably one of the most dangerous places in the earth.

  100% good -- it should be put in place here. PCC pretty much controls the country. In 2006, they stopped São Paulo -- the greatest city in LATAM -- and made a massacre that killed +500 people, mostly cops but also civilians. Everything because their leadership got transfered to another prision. And now they are WAY more powerful. If we don't do nothing, then Brazil WILL become like Mexico, where cartels have more money than the goverment

  I always wanted to go to the world cup when it was there but aside from not being able to afford it, the rumors always scared me away too.. It is a shame that it can be so dangerous there in rio and sao paulo. I feel like that holds the city and its people back from really exploding into an even larger economy (not that its not big already)..

  Is this too political for here ?

  True. Do you like football?
  Not political; the security problem in Brazil is apolitical. We had right-wing and left-wing govs and both of them didn't solve it. It's more like a... i dont know. A deeper issue, right?

  I do enjoy watching football actually. I dont really have a favourite team though. I find it hard to watch sports on tv sometimes because i'd rather go play them myself

  that's good! what leagues do you watch?

  There's a solution for that - a 75" TV.

  I am more of a movie person but true, that TV might help with that

  Yup. So, already made some space in your room?

  But I guess every publicity is good oublicity

  Thats true. Never any bad publicity these days. People will eat up anything you throw at them it seems

  Yup, that's how the new era works

  like that Hawk Tuah girl

  One of the most hilarious things from her was where many people think her "new york concrete jungle wet dream tomato" was an original joke/meme (a branch of wrong lyrics meme).

  she's just a dumb girl who cost people lots tons of money who bought her cryptocurrency that was scammy

  Oh yeah, it totally was and I hope she or someone involved with it is charge and convicted. It's going to keep happening until someone is made an example of... Similar with how some people feel the need to try shooting down quads/drones. I think it will take the FAA to make an example of someone before it's taken more serious (so far, folks have only been charged with local laws like discharging gun in city, distruction of property, etc.)

  I like drones and I hate guns, and while I would never condone it, if you're flying close enough to someone that you're pissing them off and they're able to shoot your drone down, you're flying far too close to them anyway.

  That's true, bro. I would like to buy a drone some day

  I want one as well but they are pretty much banned all over the place here. Im fairly certain I can't even mess around in my yard with it. Technically only an issue if neighbors complain. I'd like to have one to race around with for fun

  really? why? many trolls?

  Not only that. Most countries have restrictions, mainly airpsace based. They don't wanna see your drones flying over restricted airpsaces, eg.- airports, VIP's homes, military bases, etc.

  Hell, over here, there are cases of enemies of state transporting guns with the help of drones.

  Ooooh I see. It makes sense. Here in Brazil everything is allowed useless you get caught (you will not) lol

  Here as well. I guess infact that applies anywhere. Here, for example, to avoid this scenario, you are allowed to register your drone for commercial purposes (wedding shoots, etc.) on a Govt portal so that they aren't seized for unauthorised use

  but in Brazil the authorites WILL NOT search for you lol. Bc they don't search even for killers, imagine this..

  Damn. Do you mean to say that gang violence and such is still a big issue in Brazil akin to what Mexico and El Salvador have?

  Yes, very much. In some parts, worst than Mexico. Rio de Janeiro, for instance. It's civil war there -- not joking. I'm talking about areas with +300-400 thousands inhabitants controlled by criminal organizations that have even bazookas to shut down helicopters from the police. We have our mafia as well, the PCC, that controls the biggest state of Brazil, São Paulo. They are way less violent than the Rio de Janeiro thugs but still they are pretty dangerous and you shouldn't mess with them (recently they killed a guy in an international airport)

  Mostly the MLS league and USL in the USA. Eurpoean league times are too odd for me. Also feel a little more "connected" to the local leagues

  Donate your old telly.

  That is a good idea I need to just figure out how to do that now. Harder than it sounds though it can just be done through the facebook market place or something I think. Not so mucha donation that way but rather a giveaway
