Captain J.L Picard

Good point👍

@FlashCactus fair point :)

@Daniil fair enough, I absolutely wasn’t trying to criticise! Just thought it was amusing!

Just so you know @Daniil, when you edit tags the post gets moved to the top of the feed (at least in the app). Not a problem whatsoever, just find it amusing that you’re the main character in my feed 😂

I see what you mean. I take my point back, there’s no need to worry

If I’m misunderstanding, then please do let me know - this is my first SE beta

Yep, but ours is 215

I’m not sure what you mean - it says that their stats are okay but need some work

I’m pretty sure that they’re talking about the stats required for a private beta - I’ll get the link now

I’ve had a look at the Area 51 page and it says to be successful, you need around 1500 site visits per day. We have 215. How do you think we can up this number to make sure this Stack Exchange makes it through the beta phase?

That’s good to know - thanks!

Haha yep that’s me! And thank you, you too!

Sounds like a plan :)

Haha, that may be the case! I’m not certain what to do though!

Fair enough, let’s see how it evolves naturally :)

That’s true - do you think the influx would be unmanageable? I’ve never been part of a beta before

That’s not too bad!

Is it worth it?

Oooh I see what you mean - that people would suddenly become active. Makes sense

That’s what I thought - thanks for the clarification

Or can people still join?

I don’t think we’ll get an influx yet as it’s still in private beta

I’m not sure - he probably knows it’s open

@FlashCactus I’ve put forward the synonym now

@anonymous2 awesome thanks, will do

I’ve just earned the privilege of adding tag synonyms - are there any that anyone wants me to add?

That’s a fair viewpoint - I think it comes down to what direction we want this community to go. Should it be a database of general information, or a compilation of direct answers that will give the person the answer they need, but may not be as useful in future searches

@KennSebesta I think that the particular battery chemistry would be important here as well. For example, if someone says I need X voltage and Y amps, but I do t know what chemistry can give me that, I would then not be able to use that information

If it’s’how does a LiPo work, it isn’t necessarily on topic

@wizzwizz4 I think the kind of LiPo question is important. If it’s ‘I’m building a heavy-lift drone, what is the best battery chemistry’ it is on topic

I agree. I think we should let the upvotes on that question speak for themselves: it seems the community agrees it is an on-topic question

I doubt there has been a site without this discussion - it’s a good thing we’re having this discussion because it means we can lay down what should be applicable before we go public

@wizzwizz4 I do see what you mean and as this rule does come directly from the CAA, I see how it may be applicable here

@wizzwizz4 see that perspective, though brushless motors and aerodynamics in RC aircraft are different enough than in other uses to be applicable here I feel

That’s fair enough, I fully see where you’re coming from. I guess the way I see it, if the same regulation could apply to something else, for example ‘you are only allow to have a campfire on property you control’ (which I have no idea if it’s true), then interpreting it is more suited to a law SE than a drone specific one.

I’m one of the people who commented that that particular question wasn’t completely on topic, and would just like to clarify that I completely support regulation questions being allowed here. I thought that this question maybe wasn’t the most fitting as it didn’t directly relate to drones, and more how a particular word within the law should be interpreted, which isn’t within the purview of the SE. I’m very open to having my mind changed thoug.

Especially with the complications it caused, for example Brunt and Weyoun once appeared in the same episode together. Thanks for asking for clarification though, it helps me to improve the question.

It's not that I think they look alike, but they were played by the same actor.

@PaulD.Waite oh, I didn't know that. Thanks!

@KyleJones ok, that makes sense, thanks!

@KyleJones Ok, thanks, I hadn't noticed that before, I'll have to re-watch the Original Series!

Just a quick question: I'm fairly new to Stack Exchange, so I was wondering why people are down-voting my question, just so I don't make the same mistake in the future. Thanks!
