Dangerous Drone Do's and Don'ts
2019-07-04 02:53:25
You hear about reckless drone pilots all the time. But this one takes recklessness to a whole new level.
He attached two Roman Candles to a drone and then filmed it wildly launching fireballs all over his neighborhood.
I haven't checked FAA regulations, but I'm pretty sure that's considered a big drone no-no.
But having thoroughly researched the issue, this hillbilly scientist has concluded that not every drone news story has to involve destructive mayhem and violent flames falling from the sky.
Here's another story about how you might one day be glad that you brought your hovering flying robot technology along with you for a day at the beach.
So apparently one Florida dad brought his drone to New Smyrna Beach, Florida to snap some coolio overhead pictures of his children swimming. And then his drone spotted a shark swimming menacingly in the waters, and it looked like it was headed their way. His freaked-out wife immediately called all the kids back to the shore, he told local news crews later, adding that for their next visit to the beach they're just going to stick to building sand castles.
So what's the lesson? Um, bombarding your neighborhood with indiscriminate fireballs from above is bad. But also -- sharks eating children are bad. So before you go swimming this summer, be sure to deploy expensive, high-end technology to scan the water for any carnivorous lifeforms that might want to eat you.
This has been a public service announcement.

Johnnie Royale's Guide to Wakes
Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)

Paranoid Strippers & Psychotic Crack Dealers (Tales of Christmas Eve)
Christmas day, for the last 17 or so years has bored me. I find that the real fun and excitement always takes place on Christmas Eve. Every other year, it's the excitement of the metaphorical hunt instead of the kill. Otherwise, it's just plain bad craziness. (More...)
My experiment is a failure. Rockstar-and-Robitussin tastes like day-after-Halloween bile. I'm trying to choke down enough to discover the effects, but no matter what those are one thing is certain at the outset: what I have discovered is not a Beverage, but a pale green and angry iced abomination.
You were right: science is not for the weak of will nor stomach. (More...)
The One I Feel Sorry For Is Joses
We've had a lot of Jesus coverage lately here at the PDJ. But let's face it, we're not exactly cutting-edge in this subject area. Jesus has been making headlines for, oh, I guess it's a couple thousand years now. Jesus is a very strong brand. Jesus has a lot of mindshare. (More...)
