So. Many. Walmart. Delivery.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell the Walmart stores around me have aerial drone delivery. And it seems like everyone and their dog is using it here
How much of a payload can these things really carry? I also wonder what the costs are. Taking stuff up into the air is energy intensive no matter how you look at it. That’s why birds are built to be light.

I honestly didn’t think this was a real thing!
@crispius @GhostOnTheHalfShell here one coming to my house when they first started the service a few months ago.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell I believe it is around 2.5 pounds

It is apparently pretty expensive as well.
I wonder if people are paying the full cost or not

@jerry Just see them as free clay pigeon practice.

My God it sounds like a fire storm of mosquitoes. There was one particular memorable, super warm night, hiking where all the mosquitoes emerged all at once and they made a noise like that.
I would consider something like that to be noise pollution and would be complaining to the police if somebody else was doing that my neighborhood.

Video won’t load for me, but I’ll take your word for it. I imagine at some point we’ll be hunting these things (and the food-delivery robots) like our ancestors hunted gazelles on the Savannah. -

That's insane they approved those drones over residential area.

@jerry I do not see this being popular in places with drone warfare

At 2160x3840, a minute and 30 seconds makes a 290 megabyte file. Not easy to download!

Best to regulate them before the business gets ahead of writing the rules.
Maybe your local regulators or council could write a rule that they should fly along a specific consolidated routes, or at a certain height, to reduce some noise.

My vote would be that stand your ground laws would apply. They should be classified as varmits
