Even if the tech was perfect, they'd be far too loud. Drones are already pretty loud, but you wanna make em huge and everywhere? Ugh.

Since it's the court that decides what's official, I feel that disobeying their order would be considered unofficial, since it's not following the rules, right?

I was disappointed when I saw that there are few roads in the game (my expectations were far too high). I was hoping for, idk, 70% of roads? Really, some sort of driving game using google maps data would be pretty awesome, if a nightmare to process all the images. Hmm, data storage would be an issue too... streaming would be too slow (I think).

I feel like this is how it starts. Something relatively minor, like banning books, but that escalates to throwing legal permanent residents into a foreign megaprison, then claiming that "They're under the sole purview of that other country, we can't do anything" when asked to bring them back.

I've spent more time in minecraft and terraria (and skylim, released in 2011, which I last played in 2023) than I have in any other games, and those aren't exactly what I'd call "premium". I'd agree that more than money needs to be poured into a game to make it good.

My partner and I point out when the other uses an uncommon word. Exercising your vocabulary should be encouraged!

It's Europe, so I'd presume they'd recycle. Of course, the phones might warrant secure disposal that precludes standard recycling.

The Zuckerberg one sounds like Seth Rogen 😂

Coastal area checking in, same thing for the tsunami alarms. I had some good fun with a tourist when, after they asked what the droning sound was, I replied with "Oh, it's just the tsunami alarm" and then didn't react to it. They were visibly nervous, so I waited a sec and then said "It's just a test 😁"
