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.

RC step response 3 of 3 example

In the last video, we worked out the step response of an RC circuit, and now we’re going to look at a real example. So, this is our answer. This is the step response, the total response to our circuit to a step input. What does this look like? So, I’m go…

Understanding factor pairs

What we’re going to do in this video is talk about factors and factor pairs. Now when we talk about factors, these are really numbers that can be multiplied together to make some number. So for example, if I were to talk about factors of 6, I could multip…
