Oh, it could probably take quite a beating - consider that the pilot went and landed without incident. It's just that you don't RELAUNCH a helicopter with a dented propeller.
It only 'brought it down' in the sense that the pilot decided to head to the nearest airport and land to inspect the damage done. Kinda like how a small rock hitting your passenger side window stops your car.
The nearest military airport (a base with a statue of a jet outside, anyway) I can think of is approximately 20 km away; it's a bit early to be going down that low, I'd think.
I live rurally, however, so I certainly can't rule out that the area is used for training exercises. I imagine it is kinda difficult to fence off an area large enough to do proper training with cargo planes.
Also, if I had to know that a military base 20 km away would result in huge ass planes flying overhead so low the noise actually makes glass rattle a bit, I apologize. No one ever told me about that.
Well, the helicopter apparently survived the impact enough to safely land, and just got a couple of dents. Clouds of drones? No different than building a thousand target-tracking slingshots with rocks.
Hey, I don't mind delivery to my door if that's an option - but there's no way I'm ever allowing strangers to just walk into my house without my being present.
What about pets? Will they make sure to keep the door closed so the cat or dog doesn't bolt? Will they refuse to enter the house if there are pets?
What about grabbing something small in the fridge or elsewhere in the house? Does everyone have 360 degree surveillance in every room of their house now?
What about disputing the purchase if you don't get the things you bought? Something missing, wrong items etc.?
What about delivery guys taking pictures with their phones while they're in your house to, off the top of my head, either shame you on the net for old appliances, dirty dishes in the sink etc., or maybe to plan a future burglary now that they have ACCESS TO YOUR HOUSE to look around?
What about just doing your grocery shopping yourself? Is the world really so stressed now we can't do that?
From your typing, shortened words and lack of both punctuation and capitalization I assume you're one of the people who would rather give up voting than texting?
So after half the millenials gave up their vote to get rid of loans, a law was proposed that restricts the voting of young and clearly incompetent individuals. All the old guys voted in favor of this.
Threw himself off a bridge? Attribute to depression. Organs shut down, autopsy showed severely reduced levels of serotonin to be the cause? Attribute to side effects from anti-depressants.
One could even argue that being jailed for life in a foreign country should be comparable to the death sentence. As someone said higher up, getting shot in the head can even be argued to be MORE humane than spending the rest of your life in prison with no chance of ever getting out.

I think it was a tongue-in-cheek comment directed squarely at the OP not knowing that WW2 was nearing its end by '44.

> 500 ft just makes it WORSE for the drone operator. Check your math.

You think that's bad? You should see the military CARGO PLANE that flies over my house every couple of weeks at approximately that altitude.
I always use maid services when I play The Sims.

There's no way my dog's allowing it, either.

"In a Slashdot post that said mi ( 197448 ) had no clue how to pleasure his girlfriend."
There, it was SAID, but not PROVEN.
I've got some sea salt I use for pasta which is definitely larger than 1 cubic millimeter per grain, so it's actually not off at all.
So after all these security fuckups, you think they're competent enough to get the idea that they have no idea whether their network is compromised?
Did you get an orgasm from being this elitist? I hope so.

Depends on the cause of death, though.

They knew about the breach when they started lobbying for that. LONG before the poor schmucks were allowed to know about it.

Brilliant Europeans let the Americans take the risk and just watched it online or on the news.
This is an incredibly good example of what happens to your EYES if you look up at the eclipse without protection.
That $11.5K lens, though. OUCH.
And how many average consumers actually care?
No, that is just you having no professional pride.
