“Never use any more resources than are needed for the task.” but damn if the low battery alarm doesn’t trigger my anxiety. $DEITY bless the drone pilots, for they have balls of steel.
It’s okay to be ‘wrong’ in science within the observable world, much of Newton’s theories were rendered nearly obsolete by Einstein, but Newtonian physics was “good enough” until technology improved, and was “good enough” for most of his generation and later:
"While general relativity has been more precise, Newtonian gravity is still incredibly accurate and can be used for simpler situations. General relativity uses complex calculus that makes it difficult to compute. But Einstein has opened up the world to more complex physics, like black holes and gravitational waves that continue to develop our understanding of the universe.

Epistemology allows for us to work within the framework of knowledge we currently have until something better is proven to be the case.
I’m new to Lemmy, and had just gotten “into” r/NCD over the last year.
I’m sure I’ll probably skim NCD for the memes, but I’m seriously impressed with Lemmy. I hope this portends good things for the future.
I’m kind of a n00b as a shitposter though, i’ve got a lot of miltary history to read through. The NCD community has provided (no matter where they are hosted) literally some of the best ‘hidden history’ lessons I’ve ever encountered. I seriously hope Lemmy is adopted as a legitimate alternative.
