Reminds me of a recurring theme in some of my dreams, where my legs are unable to support my weight, and I end up crumbling down, and hobbling along the streets trying to catch the bus.

From the guy who made "Pingu's The Thing"! Seems he has a thing for The Thing.

Mr. @lucky760 may not have noticed that the camera is mounted on a bus, which the two people in question are exiting.

Edit: upon further consideration, the thought has struck me that lucky760 made the comment in jest.

Edit 2: even further consideration has all but confirmed that his comment was in jest. Color me surprised.

Impressive, no doubt, but I was expecting more use of arms, and less of legs, so I'm kind of disappointed, even though I shouldn't be.

That kookaburra song, ugh.

I don't know this for certain, but I think it so likely I'll just make a categorical statement: They have to push a button to transmit. There were probably quite a few literal fucks given before that button was pushed and orders relayed.

Indeed, I imagine quite a few people followed the fly-by, hobbyists and professionals alike, probably thousands of people worldwide. Yet there is only this video showing anything unusual about it. You'd think there'd be a crapload of people talking about this if it were true. A flash like that would show even through a small telescope.

3:18:30 to 3:20:00 offers some trippy scenes

Well, my point wasn't so much against weapons being developed to improve accuracy and reduce unintended casualties, but rather the video presentation, in particular the music, which is clearly selected to create as much of a "cool" factor as possible. I find the video fascinating, sure, but there's nothing cool about it, and I would upvote if it didn't have this music (or any music).

Was the hawk injured? Those drone rotors turn pretty fast, and I've read about people getting cuts from accidentally touching them. I wouldn't be surprised if that hawk was maimed.

@ChaosEngine I imagine because trench warfare was actually used in a few cases during WW2. From Wikipedia:

"Combined arms tactics where infantry, artillery, armour and aircraft cooperate closely greatly reduced the importance of trench warfare.

It was, however, still a valuable method for reinforcing natural boundaries and creating a line of defence. For example, at the Battle of Stalingrad, soldiers on both sides dug trenches within the ruins. In addition, before the start of the Battle of Kursk, the Soviets constructed a system of defence more elaborate than any other they built during World War I. These defences succeeded in stopping the German armoured pincers from meeting and enveloping the salient."
