Latest worldwide download-ership is in for my "academic" papers that I upload to the digital commons ~ after that argument with the Patent Office ~ are in, and this time I thought I'd take you for a tour of who likes what where, beginning in the US. Let me then take you by the digital hand, and we shall fly across America like that brat and the snowman seem to do every year on TV at Christmas!
I'll work from west to east with Mr. Mercator's permission and accordingly kick off in Redmond WA, where the maritime drone has 'dropped', principally because it is free but also because they've got water nearby... we wish them bon voyage!
Meantimes in San Jose CA (simply 'the valley' to Elon and I) they've gone for a SLB or self-launching boat, which I'm pleased about because with their smarts and my angle-grinder I feel we can make it happen. Meanwhile down in LA it's the Pictorial Key Pad that's going down a storm and on the next post I'll say why, and how it can be improved. I do that for the good of humanity, and so people in Ormskirk nudge each other in Wetherspoons once they realise they're in the presence of greatness.
Over in Vineyard UT I'd hoped they'd downloaded my patented "Method and Means for Moving Nineteen Teenage Brides" and I won't be welcome there again, though frankly wasn't the first time, but in fact it was the Pictorial Key Pad again, so they may want to read the next post if that laptop hasn't been thrown against the wall.
Moving swiftly on we're at Warren Air Force base, YES SECRETARY HEGSETH SIR, HILTON SIR, G2626058 who've gone for my Drone Adapted to Human Carriage. I cannot even remember what that involves, but clearly it's impressed somebody. Or maybe it's just been taking home for the kids' Year Six show-and-tell?
Down in Dallas TX they've gone for the very same thing, and I like to think that's a 'droid that works for Elon who's perusing that with the AI brain bolted into his skull.
At Cedar Hill TN though it's back to the Maritime Drone and zooming in here to the most granular of detail from my perch in Lancashire ~ Mwah ha, mwah ha, mwah ha ha ha ha ha ~ I can see that they're planning to use it on the Piney River, where the women are fast and the current's beautiful?
But we can't stay long, can we snowman because we're flying through the digital air to a high school in Duluth, Georgia we're the teacher has just printed off thirty-six more Maritime Drones and the kids are saying, "Can we go now, loser?".Exciting!
Bye kids, bye, for we're off now to Pittsburgh (guessing PN?) which is consolidating the trend with these maritime drones. I've actually been to Pittsburgh on a Sunday afternoon, though mostly to escape Cleveland.
Over to Riga now, and though I've not been there I have been on an airline training course in the original in Latvia, where I was kicked out for pointing out that most of us had been silently watching YouTube videos during the type conversion (which in fairness I'd done time and again in accordance with EASA's senseless dictates). In Riga NY they to ~ oh, come on ~ went for the Maritime Drone.
Thank goodness in Ashborn VA they've gone for a Virtual Quadcopter instead. This is simply a way to reduce the size of a quad with two props on each arm by having them overlap whilst mounted above and below; remembering they've to run in the same direction so that their don't, in short.
At Perth Ambay (g?) in New Jersey, no prize for guessing it's the maritime drone in view of all the water thereabouts, and finally as we direct our weary wings toward New York City itself, and the heart of its financial district, it's the Drone for Human Carriage once more. Perhaps the guy just wants to escape the grind, like a slower version of Batman?
There are downloads across all the continents that we could analyse this month, but what the snowman said to the idea is something you don't want children hearing.
Ed. The author's re-view of the Pictorial Key-Pad may be a few posts from now... we live crazy lives like that, and might even leave the breakfast bar one day.
