The animal-specific collective nouns in English mostly date back to bored Victorians doing it as a game, so the ones that stuck are generally pretty good.

IIRC he's already been talked to a few times by the feds for some of those videos making explosives at home. Turns out showing youtube how to make a bomb, then setting it off in your back yard gets some people in the government slightly concerned about things.

In the same vein, I vaguely recall a Youtuber who built a quad-copter drone with a mount and mechanical actuator attached to a handgun. He posted a video showing how he built it and included clips of him remotely firing the handgun. I think that got both the FAA and FBI to pay him a visit. Apparently weaponizing a drone is less than legal.

Electronic triggers are an ATF no-no because they're basically always legally a machine gun.

Nope. Electronic triggers that repeat are an ATF no-no - here's a writeup on an electronic trigger:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/03/bullseye-from-1000-yards-shooting-the-17000-linux-powered-rifle/

According to a bunch of NRA-style sites:

"Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger."

Given that you can presumably still buy a trigger that fires one bullet on pulling the trigger and one on release, and it's also "legal" to create a hand-cranked gatling gun (presumably only if it's inconvenient to hook up a motor to said crank) so the drone case would probably be "legal" as long as you had a dedicated single-action button for firing without any auto-repeat (or a separate controller, etc).

However, the FAA would get you even with a single-shot gun per https://jrupprechtlaw.com/prohibition-of-weapons-on-drones/

quote:

Section 363 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 created the following law:

(a) In General.–Unless authorized by the Administrator, a person may not operate an unmanned aircraft or unmanned aircraft system that is equipped or armed with a dangerous weapon.
(b) Dangerous Weapon Defined.–In this section, the term “dangerous weapon” has the meaning given that term in section 930(g)(2) of title
18, United States Code.
(c) Penalty.–A person who violates this section is liable to the United States Government for a civil penalty of not more than $25,000 for each violation.

Dangerous Weapon as defined in 18 USC 930(g)(2) says:

(2) The term “dangerous weapon” means a weapon, device, instrument, material, or substance, animate or inanimate, that is used for, or is readily capable of, causing death or serious bodily injury, except that such term does not include a pocket knife with a blade of less than 2½ inches in length.

So much for making a Crocodile Dundee drone, alas.

So no using a controller with a Turbo function to control a gun drone then.

Basically anything electronic that is also semiautomatic is considered 'easily converted to fire full auto', which then means it's full auto, and illegal. More or less exactly for that reason. The ATF has some real *creative* ideas on the specific readings of the GCA and how congress has defined certain terms. These are the same people that say that a boot lace and a Garand is a machinegun, and will try to argue in court that you're a dangerous criminal for having two of those things together.

A parking garage I walk by pretty often installed pipes like these. Up an exposed slope, so some level of heating is needed to ensure your parking lot operates without someone needing to clear snow.

Given the shape on the ground it looks like they already cut, they were probably installing an exit sensor that works by your giant hunk of metal car going over a coil in the concrete. The color of the liquid is likely just antifreeze, since that makes the most sense to pump through something you expect to get cold to warm it up.

This is exactly correct and I"m going to add some technical jargon to it.

They were cutting in induction loops to sense vehicles for parking controls, aka, the arm barrier or a counting device.

The concrete had a snowmelt system which run a glycol mixture so they don't freeze and break the pipes if the system isn't working or is turned off during cold weather.

This is an example of a weaponized chilling effect. The idea is if you have no idea where the line is and crossing it sends you to prison forever, most people stay the hell away instead of playing I'm-not-touching-you games. This phenomenon is why courts shot down W Bush's plan to let law enforcement subpoena records of what people check out from libraries: it was transparently a tactic to scare people away from topics the government doesn't like.
