Wa wa.

No one got off the ground today. It was too windy. It was probably blowing 15mph.  I have a little video and pictures that I might upload later. I'm sort of bummed. But it's early days. These were not your Uber or Ehangs. I would have called it a victory if any of them got a few feet off the ground in zero wind.

This was a competition, not a finished product. Think early days driverless.

  1. 15mph winds ... and it couldn't get off the ground?

    It's like an Airbus A380 ... oh, 22mph winds, we'll have to divert to Dulles, JFK's just toooooooo beaucoup for us. :-)

    Meanwhile at a Costco in Brooklyn ...

    They are having their panic cake now because they're afraid they'll have no panic cake to enjoy in the future!

    Lines for toilet paper ... WTF IS THIS, THE USSR? :-)

    BACK IN THE US
    BACK IN THE US
    BACK IN THE USSAAAAAAAA

    Yeah those South Chicago girls really knocked me out
    And they left no cash behind ...

    ...

    Not a Beatles fan anymore, BTW. :-)

    "... settle down ..."

    About this ... novel pathogen that is causing a certain Mexican brewing company to lose a third of their sales volume?

    I shall not settle down because this is grand theatre!

    I'm not sure whether it's a tragedy yet or a vaudeville act. :-)

    Maybe it's a dark comedy and we're about to have The Full Pagliacci Experience yet, because after all, this stuff's in Italy now.

    The punchline's pretty awesome though, so tragicomedy vaudeville act?

    It's possible! :-)

    But have you been to Walmart or the grocery store yet this week?

    OMG EVERYONE LET'S BUY ALL OF THE KRAFT MAC AND CHEESE
    AND THEN LET'S BUY ALL OF THE WHITE RICE AND BLACK-EYED PEAS
    HOLY FUCK DO WE EVEN HAVE ENOUGH RAMEN TO GO AROUND NOW
    LET'S BUY ALL OF THAT AS WELL AND CLEAN OUT THE PLASTIC BOWLS TOO
    WE SHOULD HAVE STARTED THIS WEEKS AGO BUT WE ARE PREPPERZ NOW
    FUCK YEAH BUY A FEW JUGS OF SHITTY SOY SAUCE
    ALL YOU PARATROOPERS OUT THERE, THAT'S THE SPIRIT

    Because if you're going to go through a panic, why not buy the food that'll make you the most miserable and serve it that way? :-)

    SHIT WHY NOT JUST STOCK UP ON A FEW CASES OF PEZ WHILE YOU'RE AT IT
    THAT'LL BE GREAT FOR YOUR BLOOD SUGAR ALL YOU FUTURE DIABETICS
    I HEAR THE US MIL HAS A STOCKPILE OF CHARMS THEY'D LIKE TO GIVE AWAY
    YOU'RE PROBABLY ALL SUCKERS FOR THIS SHIT NOW

    *snicker*

    Florida now has two cases of The Hong Kong Book of Kung Flu.

    Both are in the extended Tampa Bay to Bradenton area on the Gulf Coast.

    Not where I am, not where my place is, not anywhere I'm going to be near.

    But I do have a thought about where this is going ... which really goes with your comment about "90% of products" ...
