Amazon says it's drones will be as common as seeing a mail truck

[Indecisi0n]

Maybe in the next contract we can get drones to carry us around and we just drop the packages....

Will they also carry our helpers for peak?

No they are cheap labor. They get a golf cart and a trailer.

And a stack of DFU's

Nah. Soon we will convince all of the shippers to use shipper release.

That's the dream.

Surepost is the dream.....

I take what I can get

That drone better aim higher than 10 feet in steering or I'm ing smashing it. And if I have a duplicate call tag for amazon I'll pick up the drone, goto rewrap, and send that pos back to Amazon.

I refuse to use Amazon anymore. More of us should do just this. This madman wants to take over the world. He's creepy.

It's getting harder and harder to avoid them. Massive companies have their sites hosted on Amazon servers. The biggest one being Netflix.

Netflix is on amazon when amazon has their own movies and tv show thing set up?

Yep. Amazon is the host. It's actually not too uncommon. They have massive server infrastructure, they can lease it to Netflix and Netflix can keep their capital investment costs low.

It can come back to bite though. Amazon's servers went down a few years ago and brought Netflix services down with them.

If that happened to me, I would have a drone just to land on top of the one invading my privacy.

Not flying over my restricted airspace.

Can I get that in 16 ga, high base?

 

[moldsporh]

Actually I would empty a hopper full of paintballs on a drone that flew over....it would surely take out the props.

If it came back, then a spud gun on a howitzer base would likely get the job done.

You do realize that is a federal offense, right?

What is?

Paintballs on someone's drone flying over my yard?

Shouldn't have been there.

Airspace is in the public domain. You only own the airspace up to 500 feet. Above that they have every right to operate in there. If you buy something through Amazon that utilizes drones you're also authorizing them to make the delivery with the drone.

You stole my line. My 16ga model 12 won't take steel shot.

After searching, it seems paintballs don't have the best effect on them.

Looks like a baseball, drilled to hold about 10 long streams of fishing line to entangle the propellers would be the safest bet.

Or a wrist rocket launching something small with fishing line tied to it would work.
