Centuries of playtesting
I asked if I was the only one that gave a damn about the rules
That’s why you’re perfect.

There’s 26 excited letters to use for emphasis but you opted to be dry as Toast.
I just wish my phone would stop teaching itself to capitalize Pic. It’ll go months accepting it’s a common word and then decide it’s just a proper noun again
You sound like my dad’s handwriting reads

So have you been to one of these places? Especially in a globally renowned city such as LA or NYC? Whatever hoops you’re jumping through to walk in with something sound about the same difficulty as what comes with a drone plan.
The combination of security theater (metal detectors) and captive sales (no outside thermoses) makes it somewhat difficult to sneak something substantial into a closed event. As for not needing to escape, well if suicide is already on the table, then a drone operator doesn’t need to survive either.
A sports stadium is different in the sense that customers are screened for weapons before entering and escape routes are very limited. It’s a confined and defined space. Having a trash can bomb is scary, but it’s gonna be hard to stop people from going outside their homes. On the other hand, being in a specific place where drones were able to circumvent security measures? That scares people from events themselves.

Perhaps it’s specifying what type of body of water it’s from instead. That’d imply oceangulls, rivergulls, bagels, pondgulls, lakegulls, etc

XeroxCool@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•An alien who sees in the radio part of the light spectrum would probably be blinded by all our wireless communications1·3 months agoAlright, I think I can see I was picturing data in the wrong dimension. The data for an AM radio, in a very human-like interpretation, is running along the time axis rather than actual width across the available sources. It’d take multiple radios to “see” multiple frequencies.
XeroxCool@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•An alien who sees in the radio part of the light spectrum would probably be blinded by all our wireless communications4·3 months agoThe point is we have adaptations that allow us to handle the amount of light we live in. As humans, it’s not sensitive enough for moonless night activities and not adaptive enough to handle staring at the sun, but appropriate for most earthly activities. Meanwhile, nocturnal eyes in other animals are easily overwhelmed in daytime and diurnal eyes can be even less useful at night. So for this alien, we can’t decide if it’ll be blinded or perfectly competent at handling our local illumination. All depends on if it evolved to hide between stars or eat inner planets
