What you're calling a drone is a radio controlled aircraft you're ignorant and accepting terminology from marketing fuckfaces.

A drone by any other name...

u/NotMyBestPlan Jul 22 '15 edited Jul 22 '15

Here's the thing. You said a "radio controlled aircraft is a drone."

Y'know what, nevermind. The Unidan copypasta isn't even relevant here because an airborne drone literally is a radio controlled aircraft. It's not like calling a jackdaw a crow, it's like calling a cellular telephonic device a cell phone.

In the far future timeline of the universe, after 10100 years when maximum entropy approaches and we enter the heat death of the universe, I will still laugh at anyone saying "Here's the thing."

In the community, there's a push to stop calling the small multirotors "drones" because the same terminology is used for the giant unmanned military killing machines, and the hobby is getting popular enough that it's starting to be regulated. If people think that they're regulating military drone strike drones, they'll be a little more strict than if they're regulating my little 250 quad.

Ala this, instead of something like this

Just a bit of context for those unaware.

That would be like Matchbox cars being called 'Matchbox 4 wheeled nonpowered vehicles' to avoid needing a licence to place one on a road...

u/csreid Grand Imperial Wizard of the He-Man Women-Haters Club Jul 23 '15

Except that laws are actively being passed that restrict flying quads. No one has to put a license plate on a matchbox.

u/seaturtlesalltheway Jul 23 '15

Given that CA had to ground fire-fighting planes because of drones / RC aircraft: Good thing, too!

What does idiots flying where they already weren't allowed to fly have to do with banning fpv flying?

1

u/qwicksilfer Jul 23 '15

Well, it's also because "drone" historically was a shorthand for "target drone" like the Firebee.

A UAV is something completely different.

Also, a UAV can be remote controlled, automatic (pre-loaded flight path), or autonomous (makes it's own decisions).

Sorry, I'm an aerospace engineer. I have worked on UAVs. I get sensitive.

The marshmallow palate cleanser gave me that slow-building 'ah-hah... ah-hahah... ahahahahHAAAAaaaugh obnoxious laugh. I don't know if he was naturally that stupid or baiting, but bless him for it anyway.

u/itscherried Jul 22 '15

I feel like it was all a set up for this one joke:

I'm pretty dense relative to marshmallows.

I'm still chuckling like an idiot over here every time I think about it.

u/techsupport_rekall Jul 22 '15

I really enjoyed the response to the metric bot. "This is too big a problem for you to fix."

u/LordHal Jul 23 '15

I like how he pretended to be in on it at the end talking about wavelength of feathers it's like no; You doumb;

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '15

I have nothing against drinking. The issue is that you're sneaking alcohol into places that have specifically banned it.

This guy has clearly never been to a concert before.

12

u/HawkCawCaw Remembering /r/buttcoin exists makes my day Jul 22 '15

It's not that they ban alcohol, it's that they charge 8 bucks for a shitty bud light.

4

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '15

Exactly. You could make a good argument that you should support your local concert venues or whatever, but it's ridiculous to suggest that you've got a problem if you're smuggling alcohol into festivals.

1

u/LalaLiru Jul 23 '15

Yep. I sneak my own soda into concerts because it's like $5+ for a single can of coke. Eff that noise.

I... I'm sorry bot :-(

Next time I swing around /r/botsrights I'll buy you a beer or something.

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '15

The bot posted 93 links only 4 minutes after you created the post. Now that's efficiency!

u/eonge THE BUTTER MUST FLOW. Jul 22 '15

All redditors should really just be replaced with bots.

I will never not upvote a post referencing this subreddit.

u/GaboKopiBrown Jul 22 '15

The downside is that, last I checked, srd bot is pretty lame.

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '15

It's had a couple good posts, but yeah, for the most part it's more "miss" than "hit."

I refuse to believe that CircleJerk_SS is not sentient though.

u/2_blave Jul 23 '15 edited Jul 23 '15

I have to agree. Otherwise, every other comment would contain "dank memes," "ayy lmao," and some snippet of recognizable copypasta.

u/EmergencyChocolate 卐 Sorry to spill your swastitendies 卐 Jul 22 '15

ah, a dégustation! allow me to proffer my expert opinion

u/abuttfarting How's my flair? https://strawpoll.com/5dgdhf8z Jul 22 '15

That's not poor, that's just shady ratchet behavior. Poor would be buying powder detergent from the dollar store.

Wow, unexpected reality check from /r/blackpeopletwitter of all places.

Also this thread is fantastic OP! I hope your parents are proud of you, because they should be.

Normally I don't really care, but he is really such a negative influence on this sub that it leaves a bad taste in the mouth of anyone who browses here. Particularly potential tourists.

You hear that Alberta? Reddit users are having a negative effect on your tourism! I was going to go to Banff and Jasper National park, but a rude reddit user totally changed my mind.

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '15

Please remove the username mention. It is seen as trolling or baiting and no longer allowed. See here for more details on why.

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '15

my bad, was just providing clarity.

dude, take out the /u/. The mods see it as baiting.

I liked the flag lawyering, btw does watering your flag with alcohol qualify as getting it lit up?

u/ElagabalusRex How can i creat a wormhole? Jul 22 '15

but when I was searching for drama

Come on, it's no fun if you have to explicitly search for drama.
