Why drone delivery is still a bust

When people who work in an industry are skeptical as to the viability of one element of that industry, you think the beancounters and corporate planners would listen don't you?

Well when it comes to something that has been proposed for as long as drone delivery I'm constantly amazed at how deaf companies like Google and Amazon are to both industry experts and regular consumers.

Way back in 2017, Jeff Bezos promised that Amazon would soon be delivering its products by drone -- and that got a lot of people excited. Perhaps the only ones who weren't excited were those who knew how much of a folly B2C drone delivery clearly was.

Since then, both Amazon and Google have engaged in numerous drone delivery trials but outside of a very few (and reducing) trial locations, your Amazon purchases, your fast-food and everything else will be delivered by traditional means, not by a small unmanned aerial vehicle.

Forums are Down

Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
