My take is that it's real, but we probably provoked it by being pretty nosy. Monkeywerks said that he wasn't surprised it was taken out because of where it was. I bet we push the boundaries a lot with these things, since they're expendable.

Trigger an event, capture it, and then beat the drum for more funding and a war nobody wants.

Flares could be a defensive maneuver too, if it wasn't already jammed and flying on autopilot. Not sure if the video controls are a different frequency from the flight controls, because the plane isn't making sudden maneuvers to avoid it, while the camera is looking around.

I think the theory with the fuel being heavy and damaging the prop while it as under load makes the most sense.

Footage looks legit. I'm guessing they have figured out how to disable the drone in the least destructive way possible. One plan EW jams it from maneuvering, and the other drops fuel on it, disabling its propulsion from the impact of all that liquid on a prop under load. Plane glides down to the ground, and they rercover it, extract the waypoints loaded into it and return-home location, as well as any stored footage showing what it was looking at.

Yep, I never did. Still don't. These are kids probably under 10 though, and Mom influence is pretty strong then, especially in the back yard. This is back when kids had both parents for the most part and mom was around the home.

I'm betting the dad was big into BMX or motocross.

BMX bikers wore the same style helmets as dirt bikers.

Those are little kids though so probably less rebellious than if you were in your teens.

Teen-sized BMX bikes like that, with wheels like that were popular in the late 80s, for little kid bikes to have that stuff, and three of them with helmets. I'm guessing 90s or later.

The region has so much radar coverage, this isn't even a need. These are easily tracked, with little public outrage in having them "crash". You can be certain the west use them very aggressively.

His wife's views are his problem, not ours. He's clearly not being led around by her unlike many other men. She knows she'd have a hard time replacing him with someone of equal value.

You can be broke and still not bought, but it's certainly much cheaper than someone independently wealthy. Both are vulnerable though, if they lack character. Rich people work to retain their wealth, poor people work to get it.

Ok, I'm curious what would happen if you logged in with your login account on a normal browser setup, if they would show up then or not. They wanted a phone # level user account, so I'd assume they save things to that, but perhaps not.

Personally I'm assuming it is all saved, even if I remove it, because assuming the internet is forever is wise in many accounts.

a man's 12 yr old in accidentally channeled a fallen angel

That sounds like really suspicious questions from the 12 year old to get to that point. Then there's the willful action taken on the behalf of the 12 year old to follow any instructions it could have possibly given. I call bull on this one, do you have firsthand info on it? Sounds like a fictional story from someone who wants to disparage AI.

AI is a tool, like the internet. Christians need to get on the ball and conquer new things, not make up stories to scare people away from it. The devil wants Christians broke and powerless. Not influential, having full supply and able to do powerful things in the world. Always being late to the technological breakthrough is just one way of failing to be effective in the world.

I bet pulpits somewhere in the US had preachers saying how the Model T automobile was a spawn of satan.

FYI, It saves your discussion threads, you have to manually delete them if you want them gone. Sometimes they're not available, it was gone for like a day, but they came back.

Agreed, it knows the Bible rather well. You just have to ask it pointed questions, because it does like to give its opinion on things from time to time.

It's a very useful tool for real-life. I find myself going there instead of google/duck-duck-go for searching for information.

Tricky, because they have satellite communications and they can fly pretty high up. I imagine there are redundant systems too, perhaps even a local ship or something for fallback. They're also not a RC plane which needs constant input or it will crash, I imagine if it loses signal it will fly according to internal programming. You'd have to jam all the gps systems it likely can tie into. And the Satellite comms (maybe more than one) and the backup long range radio comms (maybe more than one). And that's just a napkin theorized setup for communication, not including any potential secret sauce stuff they have on there.

IMO, they probably wanted a window of opportunity to do stuff that wasn't monitored by it, like launch an attack or move someone or whatever. It would take time to get another drone up and in position.

That definitely was a risky move by Russia though, assuming it was truly in international "waters" and we weren't crossing a line somewhere being extra nosey. We certainly would punish them if they misbehaved.

I suspect they tried to dump gas on the drone so it would suck it in the air intake and flood the engine to crash it, or at least damage it, or reduce the duration of the flight to open a window where they weren't being spied on by it.

It also sidelines nearly everyone in there from future engagement in 2024 because all the blue-hair libtards will see them kissing up to Trump. They'll have like a week of "I didn't give him permission to publish the letter I sent to him for free without any conditions of privacy at all!", and then they're out of the great game because everyone has a clippable post they can share where they are kissing up to Trump.

They're big scared to have all their kiss-up letters posted for the world to see.

The drones have a multi-second delay from their camera/sensor feeds to the operator in the US round-trip before any maneuvering can take place, so yeah they're sitting ducks. They're not made to dogfight.

Exactly like ANTIFA except in Red and Only Brave in Numbers...When its even they Run like the cowards they are....MF'rs

Sounds exactly like Antifa.
