"Plano (Tx) officials table decision on drones"

"We're probably going to get to a place where eventually
people are going to think it's crazy that we used a 3,000-pound car
to deliver a 10-pound package. - Anthony Vittone, DroneUp's COO"

This will probably be the time when people think it's crazy
that drone traffic in the skies over residential neighborhoods
is worse than the 3,000-pound cars on local streets.

Re: "Marking The Masses" a new book and film

"The One World Religion, used by the Antichrist to win the hearts and minds
of the world, is already here, but most people can't even see it."

Creation of a one world religion is in the news more these days,

a one world religion may not be noticeable for a very long time.

"2024: We've Never Seen Anything Like This!"

Discussion about Generative AI, now being released.

Somehow, Amica's statement that "she" has feelings doesn't correlate with humans
who need physical, electro-chemical anatomy to experience feelings. And LARGE networks
of computers comprising an AI contrast with the average size of a human. Thus, a robot
dependent on such networks falsely suggests humanoid independent of networks, etc.

Instead of humanoid (robot) think of a Mecca's Kaaba as the proffered intelligence
and this Kaaba is much larger with its computers and networks. Interestingly,
AI would probably not be accepted as human intelligence unless accompanied
by robots with human characteristics.

Soon, everybody will want their own personal Kaiba
(which is actually the same electronic intelligence).

the increase may be due to exposure to chemicals, sedentary lifestyles, and junk food."

Sorry, "The Big Phallus Diet" will not be the next best seller!

"This is called 'virtual' or 'cyber kidnapping' and it first emerged in the 1990s, as a modern take on an old con.
Quite simply, it's an extortion scheme that involves criminals convincing unsuspecting people that their family members
are in danger. Now, with the widespread availability of artificial intelligence, advanced video communications and mobile phones,
the swindle has morphed into something significantly more sophisticated, terrifying, and incredibly lucrative"

told her audience, 'We’re not done with Jeffrey Epstein. I can tell you that for a fact. I can’t tell you how I know but I can
tell you for a fact we’re going to hear a lot more about Jeffrey Epstein in the coming year and you may be even hearing
from him directly. More on that as I’m aloud to tell you.' "

Re: https://www.wfaa.com/article/life/shopp ... -delivery/ (not a link)

"Walmart to make drone delivery available to 1.8 million households in DFW (Texas)
... powered by on-demand drone delivery providers, Wing and Zipline."

So we can't blame insects and birds for noisier skies overhead,
and should probably check property insurance for other things
that can now fall from the sky (a can of beans is heavy!).

Also, "Finders Keepers!" may not be true for good stuff.


Next thought about drone deliveries ...

We can assume that drone delivery providers remain liable, but insurance investigators
will want proof that the can of beans tossed through your window came from a drone.
This suggests that drone delivery schedules (and delivered items) must be a public record,
at least available to police and other agencies! An immediate photo of the "crime scene"
will be important evidence (get the camera faster with drone delivery).


For perspective, delivery drones are mini cargo planes,
currently without many rules, regulations (and case law).
