So, you know how your drone works, how to activate its emergency safety features, and how long it can fly on a battery charge. All set? Not yet.   The next step is to actually learn to fly the thing. You can get started in a few different ways. If you're cautious, consider working with flight simulation software first. DJI builds the feature into its app, allowing you to use your drone's remote to fly through a virtual world. But if you opt for another brand, or require more discipline and structure, consider a training program. There are a few...

First things first: If you've come here because you've been hearing complaints about how unruly your beard's become—man, what? For real. Do you know how fortunate you are that you can grow enough facial hair to get a solid beard going in the first place? Don't take it for granted. I'd do dark and unspeakable things to get a beard as strong as yours, dude. Dark and unspeakable things. The fact that you need any of these products in the first place is a sign you should check your privilege. It's not all men that are blessed with your follicular strength, and the potential...
