Me and drones
Apr 27^th, 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.

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.

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

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