Oh yeah, if you're having a hard time with finger strain on a steel string guitar you can swap out the strings for nylon coated steel. I use them on my electric to get a warmer sound. They're called "tape wounds." They're popular for electric bass but never really caught on for guitar. Flat wounds are also easier on the fingers, because they don't have round wire wrapping the strings, but I would go for the tapes if you want max relief. Plus they last longer than regular, round wound strings (minus the top two, they're plain steel. But they could be swapped with coated strings to maximize life span.)

You don't need to get too deep in the weeds to get to a point where it really benefits you. An Intro to Music Theory text or similar will cut it. That will give you an idea of how to make chords, what scales you can play with what chords, and what chords make up a specific key (these are all intertwined).

The keyboard does make it a lot easier to understand, western music theory was invented alongside the invention of the equal temperament keyboard. Plus the piano is right in front of you, color coded, and linear as opposed to the weird grid of wires that is the guitar.

Learn basic music theory. Do not be afraid of it. If you learn the nuts and bolts of music, it will be much easier to learn your instrument As a beginner, it will be most important for you to learn proper techniques (very difficult to unlearn bad habits) and build strength. Playing the guitar involves muscles in your hands and wrist that you probably don't use very much right now. It will be tough at first, but the more time you have hands on the instrument the better.

The trash education system keeps people too dumb to understand the genius of time cube. 4 CORNERS IN ONE DAY! Unlock time cube. Unlock 96 hour days!

Pretty sure it's normal radio freqs like an RC car. Technically jamming is illegal (FCC violation.) I saw this video earlier on using low power gps signals to take them down.

I really doubt it. Almost all pellet guns are manually operated, so you have a rate of fire in the single digits, and they're typically mechanically inaccurate (especially spring powered). Cheap quadcopters can hover at like 400 feet. Good luck figuring out your holdover shooting 60 degrees up in the air. That's like max range for a 28" waterfowl shotgun setup, using actual gunpowder.

Doubt. That puny 25mm cannon isn't even scratching the T90M. The explosions you see are the T90's reactive armor detonating the rounds before they hit the actual plate armor, which 25mm can not penetrate with out using depleted uranium ammo (which isn't being sent to Ukraine).

And if you bogart the rez ball everyone hits you with their shoes.

Little bullet, big sky. Pellet/BB gun isn't going to cut it. it has neither the range, accuracy, or power to take these down. You would need a shotgun, bare minimum, and even that may not do it because round balls lose their energy very quickly compared to modern bullets. Actual anti drone warfare is typically done with directional jammers.

We need to get some anti-aircraft guns before this gets out of hand.
