There are no people involved in anything on computers. Computers generate all the information. People are only required in the first input, computers do everything else. Nobody sits and listens, how would they decide who to listen to.

I believe my words were taken too literally. I never meant to imply that an actual person was listening in, but rather your devices themselves are programmed to artificially listen for key words for ad targeting. Voice activation. It works in a similar fashion to how your search history results in targeted ads. If you browse this forum or do a Google search for your fish being sick, you are likely to receive fish related ads based on these cookies. I have learned that it is also based on GPS tracking as well. Many times I have driven by local businesses and later had their ads pop up, despite never searching for or verbally discussing them.

I am getting adverts for drones because I'm looking into getting one to take cool pics and videos.

Just a question, have any of you people flown a drone before?

I fly remote helicopters, never had a drone.

I'm guessing you need a licnece for that?

The drone I'm looking at getting is £125 and I need a licence but I get 3 years of licence for £5 so I'm fine with forking out money for it.

Yes. I have a small drone and I gave up trying to fly it. I have my private pilot's license and have no issue flying a real plane, but I can't fly that drone worth a darn. 95% of my flights were failures. I don't know the laws in the UK, but here in the USA, certain drones are required to be registered with the FAA, so I would definitely research where you are allowed to fly them and if they require registering in the UK.

Edit: Ya beat me to it. BTW, never try to grab one in flight, either. Easy way to lose a finger.

I already know that I can't fly it over houses or over people and that there is a limited height restriction of 2000 feet or something.

The drone I'm looking at getting is the SG906 PRO 2 and it has what I want. I have a cheaper drone which my grandpa ordered new gears for, so am probably going to get it in February I assume.

That's a bit spiffier than my drone. Definitely upload some footage when you get it!

I actually watched a video earlier of a guy who attached an airsoft pistol to a drone and used it in a Milsim battle.

Was it by Silo Entertainment? That was a funny video lol.

I believe so.

The thing is that there are so many drones on the market and ones under $300 are considered 'toys'. Drone that are made from DJI are the proper drones since DJI is the best drone company currently on the market. The DJI Mavic 2 is considered the best value drone; I believe it's like $799.99 or something along those lines. My parents would never allow me to get that at the moment.

The Bermuda Triangle exists! It's in the Warrendale, PA USPS distribution center. We only live a couple hours away and it's been "in transit" for over a week. I could have WALKED there and back a couple times to get my package in that amount of time. Every package we've had enter this place has disappeared and my heart sank when my tracking update said Warrendale. Only one package ever made it out... 19 months later. Yes, we actually had a package sit there for over a year and a half before randomly showing up one day. It was badly damaged and unusable, but somehow it made it.

Just read a book today;
There’s a weird fish from amazon go by the names of canburu fish or something and they can go into human’s urethra too and I think it’s in the loaches families?



Is this just a myth? @Colin_T @Fishmanic

Candiru. It's a member of the catfish family. I don't even want to think about having a tiny fish lodge itself in my urethra with spines. Nope.
