|
| It was suggested that I revisit it, so I am.

|
| And I took my new quadcopter drone out and did some flying last
| night for the first time. As in, my first time flying a drone,
| ever. The results were... predictable. Let's just say, I bought a
| cheap (< $100) drone for a reason. This thing _will_ wind up
| destroyed. In less than an hour I managed to crash it into
| fences, walls, bushes, cars, dumpsters, the ground, an armadillo,
| Elvis Presley, a 1974 AMC Gremlin, and Nickelback. Well, more or
| less.
|
| It brought to mind this famous scene[3] from the movie Days of
| Thunder:
|
| Harry: I want you to go back out on that track and hit the pace
| car.
|
| Cole: Hit the pace car?
|
| Harry: Hit the pace car!
|
| Cole: What for?
|
| Harry: Because you hit every other god-damned thing out there and
| I want you to be perfect.
