Highlight:

I found a damaged drone in my back yard. [View all] MineralMan Dec 2013 OP

For the picture or for the drone? NT alfie Dec 2013 #1

Photos of my saggy ass are priceless. MineralMan Dec 2013 #5

Erase the image first. That should up the price. nt Xipe Totec Dec 2013 #2

Did it scream "My eyes! My eyes!" as it went down? The Velveteen Ocelot Dec 2013 #3

I am sure it was speechless. MineralMan Dec 2013 #7

Well, at least now we know how to get rid of them. Warpy Dec 2013 #4

Was there a package from Amazon? XRubicon Dec 2013 #6

Just my luck. It had an NSA decal on it. MineralMan Dec 2013 #10

The NSA will have to rethink its surveillance programs The Velveteen Ocelot Dec 2013 #12

I should think so! MineralMan Dec 2013 #15

NSA huh, it didn't have a hellfire missle did it? XRubicon Dec 2013 #21

We will not speak of that. I know nothing about MineralMan Dec 2013 #24

Poor thing probably crashed itself. NuclearDem Dec 2013 #8

Replace your image with the Virgin Mary and start it at a few thousand! n/t RKP5637 Dec 2013 #9

I was thinking of something like that, too. MineralMan Dec 2013 #11

Fucking Excellent Post Mineral Man FreakinDJ Dec 2013 #13

Fortunately for me, I cannot see what the drone saw MineralMan Dec 2013 #14

Wait a minute. House of Roberts Dec 2013 #16

Good point! MineralMan Dec 2013 #19

Depends on whether there was a live video feed back to the pilot. The Velveteen Ocelot Dec 2013 #20

LOL! MineralMan Dec 2013 #26

Without a live video feed, House of Roberts Dec 2013 #27

They do have the technology for automatic obstacle avoidance. The Velveteen Ocelot Dec 2013 #28

No selling; straight to the Smithsonian. JohnnyLib2 Dec 2013 #17

The drone or the image? MineralMan Dec 2013 #18

No need to be modest. Of course it's the image. JohnnyLib2 Dec 2013 #30

Lemme know what you get for yours, I'll hold mine back (don't want to flood the market). Scuba Dec 2013 #22

I'll PM you. MineralMan Dec 2013 #25

This OP and the responses are laugh sufrommich Dec 2013 #23

From the subject, I thought maybe a drunk Dubya passed out in your backyard. flvegan Dec 2013 #29

There's a picture of my naked ass on Democratic Underground. hunter Dec 2013 #31

I found one of those weather radiosondes, too, when I was a kid. MineralMan Dec 2013 #33

if I buy it on ebay, will you have a drone deliver the drone? Sancho Dec 2013 #32

Hey guys! A Mineral Man post in which he makes excuses for the status quo! Romulox Dec 2013 #34

Hi, there... MineralMan Dec 2013 #36

I've developed a 'bot' that automatically posts the "status quo" message on all of your threads. Romulox Dec 2013 #39

That's pretty clever of you. Maybe you can market MineralMan Dec 2013 #40

I lied. It's a flat text file. I just cut and paste it after any of your posts. Romulox Dec 2013 #41

Ah, well...that's not nearly so impressive. MineralMan Dec 2013 #42

It only works so well because you are so predictable. nt Romulox Dec 2013 #43

I see. Thanks again for the kick to this thread from yesterday. MineralMan Dec 2013 #45

You somehow think you'll influence more people to think spying is acceptable by kicking this? Romulox Dec 2013 #47

My saggy, wrinkled ass is an embarrassment to me, MineralMan Dec 2013 #49

Declare yourself a country, and apply for foreign aid then get technical experts to fix it for you Katashi_itto Dec 2013 #35

Too much trouble. eBay is faster, and I could use the cash now. MineralMan Dec 2013 #37

Good point, although Sell your new found intell collection service to the highest bidder, like NSA Katashi_itto Dec 2013 #38

I would keep it and use it to smuggle drugs across the B Calm Dec 2013 #44

Unless they send me one of the consoles used MineralMan Dec 2013 #46

Finder's keeper's! randome Dec 2013 #48

The very one! As you say, finder's keepers. MineralMan Dec 2013 #50

You're right, they were talking about starting up drone testing in a few states. Xyzse Dec 2013 #51

I'm a bit hesitant about including NSA in the description. MineralMan Dec 2013 #53

That's True!... Xyzse Dec 2013 #57

You do realise this thread will be often quoted on Twitter intaglio Dec 2013 #52

All twits are welcome to repost my thread. MineralMan Dec 2013 #54

Yes, please libodem Dec 2013 #55

With all the interest in the photo, I'm thinking about just MineralMan Dec 2013 #56

You should sell it at an opening bid for $2000... SummerSnow Dec 2013 #58

For $2000, I'll personally deliver it within a 500 mile radius MineralMan Dec 2013 #60

I live only about 12 miles from you. When are you coming over? The Velveteen Ocelot Dec 2013 #62

You have to buy the drone, first, you know. MineralMan Dec 2013 #63

I wonder if it would be illegal to use my 12 gauge B Calm Dec 2013 #59

Illegal, but highly satisfying, I'd think. MineralMan Dec 2013 #61
