Good uses for drones?
February 8, 2018 at 8:20 am
Still stifling my urge to shoot them down. But if good uses for them could be found perhaps I'd be less lethal. For instance, starting with the most important possible use first...
FISH FINDER: Combine a drone and a sonar unit. Fly it over suspected "holes" and see if it's really worth your time.
TRAFFIC SCOUT: Launch drone from car/truck/suv/perambulator, video of situation ahead allows you to decide if you should cut off the school bus and dive into an off ramp and fight it out on the surface streets or note that the lookee-Lou! people are thinning out ahead of you.
DOG WALKER: Takes the canid around the block a few times.
POOP SCOOPER: Picks up fecal deposits left by dog. (Good citizen!) Dumps them on your neighbor's lawn when his drones aren't watching.
Anything else?

Pedo-priest watcher?

Would need to be able to carry Hellfire missiles.
DOOR GREETER: The drone would answer the door while dangling the severed head of the last Jehovah's Witness who dared knock. Light saber included.

There's a huge amount of potential profit in real time automated crop management with IR equipped drones. It's more affordable, convenient, and thorough than on-foot field analysis. When I say huge I'm talking billions.

OMG, small aside..did you know that falconry is largely illegal in the united states..but that a scant few assholes have exemptions specifically -so- they can rake in money scaring birds?

They'd be great at killing brown folks. I wonder why no one has thought of that?
