I don't want a drone coming outside my window; it's that simple. If you have a drop point for drones to deliver goods and services, fine. If you got a package, leave it in the back. But don't come up to my window knocking and say, "Are you in? Can I come in?" No.

Plus, these are airborne things. There's got to be a limit to how much they can carry. There's physics behind this. All right? If you carry a light box with a thumb drive in it that someone ordered, fine. But suppose I order a weight set? Suppose your drone is not carrying my dumbbells?

Okay, suppose you ordered a 5B bag of sugar. Or if you built the drone strong enough to carry heavy groceries, it will be loud and large. I don't see that happening. If I see a drone outside my window, I'm shooting it. Okay? I'm sorry, and I've never shot a gun in my life.

I'll go buy a gun just to shoot the drone that shows up outside my window. I don't know what kind of camera is on it; I don't know where it's from. I don't know. No, no, do something else with your drones, but don't put them by my window.

Everything You Need To Know About Death and the End of Times

These Faces Are The Same Color!

Akiyoshi Kok’s newest illusion is blowing my mind. You’ve got a white face and a black face. Psych! They are both the exact same gray. The face on top appears to be illuminated by a dimmer light source than the one below. So before putting anything into …

Where Our Fear of Sharks Came From | Nat Geo Explores

(intense music) (water splashing) [Narrator] This can be scary, and rightfully so. Sharks have patrolled the waters for over 400 million years. And while they are powerful creatures, our stories have given them the reputation of being vengeful killers. …

Product Leverage Is Egalitarian

Labor and capital are much less egalitarian, not just in their inputs but in their outputs. Let’s say that I need something that humans have to provide; like if I want a massage or if I need someone to cook my food. The more of a human element there is in…
