“Here lies a toppled god —
His fall was not a small one.
We did but build his pedestal,
A narrow and a tall one.”
the idea of these dumb drones flying around makes me hope someone takes this idea http://www.gizmag.com/skyjack-hijacks-other-drones/30055/

but like a more sci-fi approach where your drone attacks the other drone and a big drill pierces the carapace and takes over motor control and flies it back to your illicit drone hangar

there's probably a lot of money that will be spent in the near future on consumer-grade drone deterrence and countermeasures

there is an api that now allows for gapless and other music apps can use it fine but i can assure you that on my nexus 5 google play music does not play music without a noticeable gap between tracks

if you try to stop the bird death the drone death goes up:

quote:

An animal rights group stopped a planned pigeon shoot over the weekend, leaving the would-be marksmen to shoot down another target: The animal group's aerial drone.

A group called SHARK, SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness, went to Broxton Bridge Plantation near Ehrhardt, S.C., on Sunday to video a live pigeon shoot, according to the Times and Democrat of Orangeburg, S.C. The group lofted a small Mikrokopter drone and planned to tape the shoot. Law enforcement officers and an attorney tried to stop the drone from flying, according to the T&D. The group persisted, and apparently the shooters got back in their cars to leave, said Steve Hindi, president of SHARK.

The drone took off anyway, and then several shots rang out. One eventually struck the drone and it spiraled to the ground, to the dismay of the SHARK representatives who were filming it from the ground. The T&D has video of it here.

they aren't hunting. they are taking pigeons, stuffing them in little launchers, then shooting them when they are thrown into the air. pigeon shoots are hosed up entertainment for people that don't even want to go through the bother of hunting and just want to kill some poo poo while drinking beer with buddies.

most hunters think they are a perversion of just about everything an outdoorsman is supposed to care about.

idgi it's like "I must literally kill something" why not just use clay targets if you're going to do that

congrats on arriving at the conclusion sane people reach when hearing about it.

defenders will say things about it being a "tradition" (rich fuckers would do it because expending any effort trying to kill food is something poors did) and/or the live birds needing more skill to hit than a clay pigeon. which as someone who has actually hunted wild doves as well attempted to shoot mini clay pigeons (6cm) let me tell you is some serious bullshit.
