    At the very least you have multiple use animals like sheep, where some are better for wool and others are better for meat, but there are also differences for different environments.

    Another thing, look you, boyo - when it comes down to it, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, isn'it?

    Perhaps he assumes that people should be pay[sic] attention to things in the decreasing order of probability of killing them?

    Garbage.

    One, because you can't pay attention to everything.
    Two, a low threat is not a zero threat.
    Three, a high threat plus a low threat is an even higher threat.

    Do you smoke? Do you look before you cross the road? That's assuming you're old enough to do the former and allowed to do the latter by yourself.

    Drinkable water is a disappearing resource

    Indeed. And the way some people waste it, you'd think it just falls out of the sky.

    The issue isn't about having some part below the water. It's about having none above it.

    No aircraft of that time was capable of that. Do you know how much maintenance engines needed?

    isn't worrying about drones the bad[sic] thing to do for a pilot with a finite attention span?

    That's precisely why they shouldn't be there. Because then they don't have to worry about them, moron.

    I'm sure drones could be useful - as part of a coordinated operation with other units - and they're probably considering it.

    So it's designed for firefighting & rescue. Nice to see it's intended for a beneficial use. And who doesn't believe that? After all there's absolutely no reason at all that the Chinese might want to transport things like military equipment to places where there are no long-runway airfields but plenty of water.
