Title: Me and drones
Post by Aussie on Apr 27th, 2019 at 3:54pm
Not a fan but I can see potential.  I can also see that there will be a kickback if thousands of the buzzing far kars are flying over suburbs.  No gonna post it here to ensure zero chance for an identifier, but my brother who lives in Canberra just sent me a video of a drone delivering two coffees (arrived hot and tasty) from a despatch point 3.5 ks from his home.  $8.30.  Thing hovered over his driveway, height at ten metres, the coffee comes down on a thing via a winch wire, lands on the driveway...he removes the coffees, thing winched back up to the drone, and off it goes.

Very audible buzzing like a squillion bees swarming.

What does this have to do with Relationships, beyond that of you and your brother?

To drone is to make a low, continuous noise that sounds like humming or buzzing. ... Drone is also a noun, meaning the monotonous sound itself, like the drone of a boring lecture; or a male worker bee; or a person who's as unambitious as a worker bee.


Makes sense.  ;D

Aussie is trying to make his own little Sub-Forum 'through' the Section of Relationships. Peckerhead does the same with his Section he Mods. ::)

...what's that tell you? It shows that they want to RULE this 'Forum'.  ;D

He ordered them to try it out.  GPS controlled in conjunction  with Google Maps.

Did he need to tag a spot for it to lower the coffee ?

Nah.  That was done by the system.  The spot is put on the driveway as shown by Google Maps.

Yep, it is that easy for a GPS controlled drone to accurately deliver an explosive device to your driveway and blow you up.

Why would anybody in Australia worry about such a thing?

Paranoid, are you? Have you enemies that might do such a thing?

Stay calm, "they" aren't coming to get you.  ;D
