*Offers blanket and heating pad to Arrikanez*

Thank you~
Mmmmrph. I need to change my name, I forget. XD

my winter is more of an autumn than a spring. Cold and wet, but not freezing.

^This. It is in the 30's and 40's, and today was the first non-rain day for a few days.

It's in the 30s and 40s today for me too! It was raining on Thursday and Friday. And next week it's supposed to rain for three days straight xD

I'm used to rain though, I live in Washington.

I love when it rains, maybe because I'm not used to it. I love foggy days especially, and when the sky is gray.

Fog and snow and wind...and clear nights...I like. Rain not so much.

In the morning I like gray. At night I like a deep dark, black-blue sky. With a bright moon. There's never stars though. Do you ever see stars in the sky?

Yeah. That is a positive thing about living in a less urban area.
(Though if I see another Drone while I am looking for a comet or meteor shower, I'm going to scream) xD

Ohh, you look for comets and meteor showers?
And what's a Drone? A sort of airplane or shiny aircraft? I see and hear airplanes all the time, flying overhead. I know for a fact that my neighborhood is under the path of an airplane route.

I actually like rain, as long as I'm not getting wet in it.

Drone - essentially take a quadcopter or small plane (Size of your arm or chest), add a camera (with a light), and all...and spy on/target other folk.

a drone is a small, remote-controlled aircraft. Usually they have cameras, but they can be used for other things; military drones drop bombs and missiles on hospitals and schools, for instance.

Anne Claire is correct. (Ignore me not really liking them in their current state. I can see a use for them)

I don't have a problem with drones, myself. It's military that I don't like. :P

I doubt I'd be coordinated enough to pilot a drone... >.> I have enough trouble walking on flat surfaces!

Have less problem with the military, and more with the contracted folk. Ones like the TSA and all.

But flying Drones are fun! At least it is when you are in a populated area and flying one around to video people.

O.e

I don't see fun there...

Now, as looking into areas that a person can't reach or that we don't want to damage...

See you think of that a certain way. I think of it like a live video of Time square for the New Years eve ball drop. Or the big tree lighting.

yeah, as a photographer, I think it would be neat to be able to take pictures of things and people from a bird's point of view.

I don't think I've ever seen a drone before o.o
I'm pretty sure that where I live, if there's things flying around with cameras, everyone would raise a fuss about how their personal life in the public space is being invaded :/. Regardless of whether it's an official or a citizen--though if it was a citizen I bet people would be super creeped out.

I think I'd like to fly a drone. I'm not too keen about putting a camera on, but flying a stable, hovering aircraft sounds fun! I've only ever flown sketchy helicopter toys xD.

Photographical purposes for drones? Come to think of it, I wonder if drones are safe to use around birds and pigeons and the like? And how high the go. I think it'd be really amazing to get a picture of things in the sky!
Aerial perspective should be interesting, though I'm not a fan of pictures that are of the tops of things myself. Maybe because where I live, the only things I would see from above would be squares of buildings :x If I lived where there were more open spaces and less roads, maybe that would be more interesting?

This is what I would see, cut out the central park and it's just gray blocks: http://insidersvacationguide.com/IVG...rom-above2.jpg

A drone hit a tree and spun into a child. Said child is now going to have a prosthetic eye for the rest of their life. There have also been other incidents. Largely because you don't need a license or some training to fly a drone.

We don't have massive celebrations like that often - Boomsday being an exception - so a drone over our area is more creeper/stalkerish.

Oh dear. I didn't realize the slicing power of these things. Why do people fly drone so close to another person though? Apparently you're not supposed to fly them within 50m of anyone, and definitely not over groups of people.
I think the parent and the child should count as a group?
How do people see a drone to fly it anyway? With the camera?
I don't think there's any open space for people to fly drones where I live. Is it safe to fly drones over the sea o.o?

Boomsday day. (*google search*) Do you live in Knoxville? I think that if any drones flew that day they'd get incinerated @~@

Wow, I did not know that drones could be that dangerous.

Mmhmm. Me too I didn't take into consideration of the fact that they were spinny things. It's like a fan is very dangerous if you stick you finger in it by accident.

I'm not surprised by the fact they could hurt people. The ones we gave away at the office Christmas party had controls with a view screen on them.

Oh! So flying drones is kind of like playing a video game--albeit with real life consequences. It's suddenly a little scary that Amazon's considering using drones to deliver goods...

But still. You think you could see the thing going out of control from miles away and duck for cover...

Person 1 is watering the garden
Person 2 is taking the mail
A whirring sound ensues
Person 2 turns around: Watch ou-
Person 1 gets hit in the back of the head
-------------
Hem, well maybe that won't happen since there's a pilot and all.

Well getting hit in the back of the head seems a lot better than losing an eye!

But it's still pretty bad if there is a huge gash in the back of your head... D:

~.~ Yes, the back of the head is better in the way that it's better to break a leg than lose one.

I just don't do blood very well.


For example, one time my work was hosting a blood drive. I had to walk through the room where it all happened. I was starting to get sick seeing all the blood being sucked out of people and put into a bag. I am getting sick just thinking about it. *shudders*

I get scared from other people's blood. Also, the way you described it makes it especially, uh, horrific sounding. I think I'm okay with blood in sterile looking containers, but not so much with it leaking everywhere and causing a mess, mixing with the skin and all.
I don't mind if it's my own blood though. Somehow @~@

I was strong though. I do not pass out/faint or puke easily. XD

Whenever I get my blood drawn, I always close my eyes. And open them back up when it is all over.

I could definitely give blood to save a life of a loved one in an emergency though!

I also do this when I am on a roller coaster approaching a huge drop. XD

The ones that Amazon is planning to use are automated.

Automated? That's not a good thing is it? Unless they have super intelligent Ai.

I mean, that's the point. Automating delivery services means faster delivery times, and less expenditure on hiring people to truck things around. It wouldn't make sense to basically have one person doing one delivery at any given time, which is what would need to happen if the drones /weren't/ automated.
