What's going on, everybody? Q&A Friday for today. Man, got a cough drop in, feeling like shit, was trying not to cough, didn't even get 15 seconds into it, coughed. So I have another cough drop here on the table. I'm going to do the best I can. A little bit under the weather. I have my Yearly cold. It's almost like my wife teaches disease vectors at the gym. And it somehow makes its way to me.
But I digress. Let's talk about the sponsor for today's episode. That's right. Spartan Forge. I've been talking about this for the last few weeks. Go to their website, spartanforge.ai.com. And check this thing out for yourself. If you're a hunter, you're familiar with these type of applications. And I'm just going to say this exceeds what I have seen in other applications.
If you're looking at the video I'm looking at right now, you're looking at terrain data, you're looking at LiDAR, you're looking at UAV footage, you're looking at... The ability to share your location, to boundary an area and track movements, to look at sunrise, sunset. You could get studies done on game movement, deer movement prediction.
The LiDAR thing, again, this was something that kind of blew my mind about the app. And I've said this a couple of times. I'll probably keep saying it. I've been using that feature more for helicopter stuff than I have for hunting because it gives you an idea of what the terrain looks like underneath the foliage.
And when it comes to flying a helicopter, you can get them into some pretty tight spots, but you want it to be pretty level as well. So I've been using the shit out of that. And there is a free downloadable version. It's using AI. There's not much I can say about this that I haven't said already, other than it is absolutely best in class for what I have seen for this type of software.
And it's not just for hunters. There have been applications that people have reached out to me about where they're using this well outside of the hunting space. And again, go to spartanforge.ai and check it out for yourself. You'd be shocked what you can use this tool for. Now let's get into our Q&A for the week. Okay, got the red smoke. What? All right, here we go. Fresh cough drops in.
I'm going to try not to rattle it around in my teeth, but hopefully it stops me from coughing incessantly into the microphone. Three emails, three different questions. We'll start with the one tied to the recent election. Andy, I'm having difficulty in wrapping my brain around the election results, and I'm hoping maybe you will address some of these in a future podcast.
You and your father spoke a little bit about people saying it isn't a difference of opinion, it is a difference of morality. While I may not go that far, I understand the sentiment. I'm a veteran, so I don't understand how someone brushes aside inciting an insurgence slash attacking the Capitol. I'm a woman, so I don't understand how someone excuses the vulgar treatment of women by this man.
I don't understand how Christians embrace the epitome of the opposite of Jesus's teachings. I live in Tennessee and I'm regularly shunned or prayed for because I won't attend church and I have been told I should have died in Saudi Arabia. And this part where the email is at right here says,
