I propose the state stops flying drones and blaming them on foreign actors when it's all a stunt to distract the public from Luigi and it's all bullshit anyway.
South did this episode. Let's skip to the part with the sex doll.
Lol, some hobbyist who doesn't watch the news is about to have a baaaaaad day ☹️
I think most hobby drone pilots know to check for TFRs at least.
I'm not a drone hobbyist and I do my best to check for TERFs. 😌
CEO? I swear officer, I thought it was a drone.
CEOs are drones for the shareholders.
It's because drones have potential to be a legitimate threat to the monopoly on violence.
Have you never heard of the 2nd amendment??
Guns are only good for so much. I don't think Ukraine is lacking firearms really, but they use drones for a reason.
This if fuckin' stupid. The country is going nuts I swear. Nothing like a good mass hysteria to really bring the nation together.
Reminds me of when we went through the killer clowns scare.
Wut
The World Clown Association president Randy Christensen took a stance against the trend of people dressing up as clowns to frighten people.
Lmao
Next thing you know some innocent dweeb will get a bullet through his aluminum Cessna cockpit.
Shooting bullets into the air is a good way to get people killed. They just become ballistics, and what goes up must come down.
I propose we call this "breakly force" from now on.
I bet real estate companies are seriously pissed off about this. They are getting very reliant on drone photography for properties.
Screw real estate middlemen who do nothing
Apart from save you a hell of a lot if time and effort selling a house yourself. I don't love the industry, but they do offer a useful service for people without the time and the energy to do it themselves.
But they also demand way too much money. Selling a $400,000 house to a real estate investor shouldn't come include 2 $12,000 commission checks for the agents.
I don't disagree, but what other options are there?
First step is to revoke the trademark on the word "Realtor."
The only way to use that word is to be a member of the National Association of Realtors, which is a private lobby that spends most of its money governments, people, and companies that if you aren't a realtor you aren't a real estate agent.
Houses for sale usually have locks on the front to let agents access the home, but those Sentrilocks are only accessible to realtors. So the NAR essentially has a monopoly on home sales, and monopolies increase prices.
I can buy a keypad lock box on Amazon right now...
I'd be more inclined to look at state licensing and paperwork standards if you're looking for barriers to entry.
I am all for that, but like I said, for now, as far as I can tell, the options are a realtor or you sell it yourself. I would love to hear other options (especially in Indiana) because we will be selling our house next year.
There are Real Estate Agents that aren't realtors. But they're rare because of issues like the lock boxes that prevent buyers agents from being able to show a house if they aren't a realtor.
I suppose you could just make them a copy of your keys. But this isn't a very populous place (less than 100,000 people in the metro area), so I'm not hopeful of there even being an independent real estate agent here. Worth looking for though, thanks.
Exactly. Finding one is difficult because of barriers to entry caused by the realtor lobby.
Well, thanks for the info anyway. It's definitely worth checking out, so I appreciate it.
I know someone who became a licensed realtor so he could sell his own house and take/save the commission.
Yeah, it seems like people are pretty locked in.
as someone who lives in a country where folks dont post properties online for sale and there is no MLS and the government has terrible records of land boundaries, I can say that the work that real estate agents do is super fucking helpful
I don't think they are using large drones that require a pilot's license. Probably small hobby drones are used in real estate.
Any drone usage “in furtherance of a business” requires a license.
Interesting, thanks.
“There are drones, and they are frightening stupid people! Shoot them!”
If you want to sink probate yachts, underwater drones work better than airborne.
Does Yemen have a git repo with instructions?
I was driving home on the southbound 5 near Seattle, when suddenly this yacht came our of nowhere man. If it wasn't for the old guy fucking a consenting 18 year old, I would have noticed traffic and the other guy in front of me also looking intensely at the bouncing tits.
I propose we have a law against sexual activity for very old men who are CEOs. They should run instead and you can imagine many ways to make that very effective. Some would suggest that just a car could do it. But I disagree because we need the activities to last, and a car would be too easy. I propose a bull run. Every Saturday and Sunday and other days that may happen in between, we'll bring old men And women, both, into a closed off street and we'll release a bull or two in there. I figure there would be some running. Enough for television. Once its over, we bring back the bulls to pasture and give them all that is necessary for a good run every now and then.
I had an idea about a plastic sub controlled by a ps3 controller where CEOs could go check out Titanic. But I just don't have that sort of money. I do, I mean I can find a barrel for 50 bucks but, I mean, a good go pro. Nah, too fancy. I would still to bulls, but they tend to not like it.
It is Better if you read it in George Carling voices ....in your head!
Sorry I just woke up.
This is going to get good when a passenger airplane is shot down.
It's already illegal to shoot at things in the sky unless you're a government agent or soldier. And they aren't about to start dropping things unless drones are getting in the way of stuff on the joint military base in NJ or at Newark Liberty Airport.
I dont think it works like that.
The planes that were shot landing in Hati didn't have mechanical issues. If a stray bullet hits an aircraft, the biggest risk is that it hits a human on that aircraft afaict
But I thought it was just satellites and meteors and bad captures of airplanes on cellphone cameras. That's what we've been told. Who would have thunk 🤔
I wish they'd ban them everywhere except your own private property, or areas designated for rc plane flying. Also, land owners should have the right to shoot any drone flying over their property down.
Why do you feel that way?
