I gave the article a chance regardless and it's nothing I've not read before.

The one I built isn't as nice, but it's a really nice way to display the time and people are mildly fascinated by it when they see it.

If you saw the "quality" of electrical work otherwise very smart car enthusiasts do you might think otherwise.

It's hard to decipher anyone when you can hear 30 other people in the background and the audio is choppy.

A place that you could take items and have them packed and shipped for you would remove an enormous hurdle for new eBay sellers. It's easily the most annoying part of the entire process.

Hell, maybe they could even list items for people? Like a massive digital pawn shop.

I could see this really working out for them if they do it right.

I hate working. The sooner I don't have to anymore the better.

This is correct and I'm convinced there comes a point where there's no way out. The vast majority of social experiences in my life have been negative and it gets worse every time I have another, making it less likely the next will be positive.

Rather than continue to get hurt I have nearly 100% socially isolated myself, save for the internet. I work remote in a rural area and I only leave the house for essentials. There's no place for me socially and I've accepted that.

In my experience it works far better at managing headaches/migraines.

> not even an inflammatory one

I don't know how you can seriously claim this.

Using the term "toxic" to describe things is an issue because people have an immediate negative reaction to it and go on the defence. Wording matters a lot and I'm unsure why there's such an insistence on calling things "toxic" when other words would both better describe issues and cause a less visceral reaction.

All the basic sensors you need for flight exist in the literal billions of Android phones produced in the last 15 years.

I'm trying to be evasive about how you'd build such a thing because I don't want a visit over a comment online, but if you understand aerodynamics you can make almost anything fly.

I think the disconnect here is people reading "drone" and thinking something super high tech and precise, whereas I'm thinking of the minimum thing viable thing to create chaos/fear for you enemy.

I'll understand if you aren't a hardware person, but I think you severely overestimate how complex a drone needs to be if you only intend for it to be single use (which is apparently all the rage in modern war).

You don't even need drone specific parts, the parts you need are used in all kinds of other applications...many are even in your home right now whether you know it or not.

To destroy the supply of these generic parts you would have to destroy...basically everything.

> Then why weren't they widely used in the first world war?

This statement alone makes me not take your argument seriously. You aren't arguing in good faith.
