I would imagine it’s really difficult for some amateur to devise a contraption to put a gun onto some store bought drone and have it work in any way.

Seriously just give it some thought, it’s not easy.

That's true but commercial, consumer-grade drones are still basically in their infancy as a technology. It hasn't been that long yet for people to figure out the best ways to be terrible with them.

These bylaws are absolutely not getting passed.

I put forward a motion to table the vote on the bylaws until we can address the racial disparity. I am making them vote on screwing us lmao

Weaponized drones introduce loiter time and more separation between the user and the target than missiles. On top of that you spare the expense of sensors beyond a cheap little camera. a rocket engine, and a dedicated launcher.

So, funny storytime.
I have a friend that works at the last surviving mall around here, for a place that etches stuff. They may might make Things that you can Remember. I was mailed this earlier today, with the explanation that it might be a given name or a nickname, but the customers were absolutely certain about the pronunciation.

I do not lie, this is 100% real. She said she had to explain why she was laughing so hard after the couple left the shop.

Yeah, if it ends up cheap enough it's going to be a big loving deal in the same way cheap RPGs were a big deal twenty years ago. It's not revolutionary tech that changes the battlefield, it's the tech that actually makes its way into the hands of revolutionaries.

These people are loving sociopaths. What did his wife do?

We seriously have people who are acting like Ceaușescu shouldn't have been executed when the Iron Curtain fell? You execute people for crimes against humanity, same as we did to the loving Nazis. It's the way you make sure those people never get near the levers of power again, so you don't have a repeat like happened with Napoleon or Vlad Tepes or the Nazis we didn't execute at Nuremburg. His wife was a major party figure, with her terminal position being a 1st Deputy Prime Minister. She had huge amounts of blood on her hands and needed to answer for it.

Is this thread now hot takes about how dictators should just walk when they lose power? The whole point is it's cheap power that you don't get a nice retirement from.

And for reference, we shouldn't be intervening in Venezuela but instead using soft power to get the conflict solved and make sure Maduro doesn't get a Pinochet-style exit to live his days in some nice villa with money he's absconded from his country. At the very least, he needs to spend the rest of his days rotting in a prison cell, and doing that honestly gives the mistaken option that he gets released under a change in governments or a later lack of will.

Claymore as in the mine. The drones function as flying 40mm grenades but the warhead detonates in a focused arc spraying the pellets in one direction.

You can also apparently drop them from a plane and still have them work.
