Drones looking or drones?

Drone expert theorizes drone sightings could be people flying drones looking for other drones​




Drone expert Dr. William Austin suggested that New Jersey residents may be flying their own drones to look for other drones, which has led to mass reports of unidentified aerial aircraft flying at night.
In an interview on "Fox & Friends," Austin showed different types of drones currently available on the market – nearly all manufactured in China – and walked host Brian Kilmeade through their various applications.
"I'm not worried about the large drones because we would be able to detect most of those through through systems and sensors that they have on them," Austin said.
He said that often what people believe to be SUV-sixed drones flying at night are actually small drones that may look larger due to an optical illusion, or high-altitude airplanes.
"My guess is what people are probably seeing are mostly aircraft and these small drones we have behind us," Austin said. "When you look at the sky, it can become very deceiving as things passed each other for anyone, including us who are professional aviators."
He added that most people own DJI Mavic model drones, the most common on the marketplace, and that what New Jersey residents could be seeing are their neighbors "putting out drones, looking for other drones."
LOL. Expert? Some of these drones are the size of cars or busses. I saw an expert that said there aren't any domestically produced drones that match the size and capability these have shown. Also flying miles out to sea... Nope.

Wow it was wild how truly ignorant you are. Try harder? There are girl's sports for a reason. Ever hear of Title IX? If my daughter enters a competition it is a female competition and there shouldn't be any men in that category to begin with.

I feel sorry for your kid.

Ignored.
Ignore! Just enjoy the time with your daughter. Sheesh. Ya'll going to let the looming threat of trans suck all the fun out of your life. But seriously, what's that in the tree? Watch out, tranny trying to swoop in and harvest all the adrenochrome from your children!
 
You're right, it doesn’t. I’m just glad personal freedoms are alive and well in this country.

"plays" present tense. I never claimed ever because I know of an additional kid that did equestrian sports at the HS level in Kentucky. So 2 instances in the 50 years of the title 1 era.

One trans person has won a title at the NCAA level. 3 have won at the HS level in the country going back to 2017, though more have competed. 1.6 million or .6 percent of Americans 13 or older are trans, yet there's multiple post a day here vilifying them. They are definitely punching above their weight class in terms of triggering a bunch of old white dudes here on the catpaws.
Never let a chance at assuming something about someone because of their race (ism by definition) pass you by lefties.

Beats doing genital checks. You pervs are just wanting to ruin some childhoods. Shame.

I'd like to bring balance (if possible) without name calling and what not and offer an alternative than the echo chamber this place can be.
AI, homie.

Objectively, rampant name calling creates a terrible atmosphere.

I would say as a whole this place has been a net benefit for me, but the shit slinging and name calling just forces people to double down on preconceived notions.

My point still resonates in that name calling or talking down rarely changes another person's opinion. Better for civility on here if you want to change minds, but a few have pointed out that that isn't the goal of this place.
Hey, remember the OLD BMD? The one who lamented name calling? LOL

Here's a good quote for you.
"Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshiping."
Hubert Reeves
 
Say, that reminds me…

Anyone else remember when the Obama administration awarded Pearson Publishing $350 million in taxpayer dollars to create the Common Core curriculum? That was a no-bid contract by the way. Meaning no other publisher even got a shot at it. That’s not the way government contracts are supposed to work.

And then a few years later, Penguin Publishing, which was a subsidiary of Pearson Publishing, gave Obama an unprecedented $65 million dollar book deal. For comparison…Bill Clinton’s sweet book deal (which is the next highest) only netted a mere $17 million.

By 2019 Pearson sold its remaining shares of Penguin Publishing.
Democrats are PHENOMENAL at scamming the American taxpayer.
 
There's already tons of lawsuits in Ohio. The Ohio courts have to approve the redistricting maps and so far have rejected everything the GoP has put forward. It won't be resolved anytime soon because the Republicans aren't going to stop drawing up gerrymandered maps. Last week both sides hired outside consultants to draw up new maps to try and break the stalemate. The primary is supposed to be in 5 weeks and they don't have official candidates yet. It's a shitshow
Reality check.

Here's a lesson for your ignorant ass....

God isn't invisible, and we are well aware that we are f'ing up his creations, and try daily to do better in his name.

Take your drivel elsewhere or speak up when you have something intelligent to say.
 
But Antifa. 🤣

Oh, now you're posting links of something you flat denied happened for 4 years, you stupid ass Village Idiot.

So, are you pivoting to now saying something stupid about antifa?

Go away.
 
I stand corrected on the first bit.

It would be helpful if you link the actual UN report.

Here are the snippets pertaining to trans athletes...

7. Female athletes are also more vulnerable to sustaining serious physical injurieswhen female-only sports spaces are opened to males,9as documented in disciplinessuch as in volleyball,10 basketball11 and soccer.12 Instances have been reported whereadult males have been included in teams of underage girls. 13 Injuries have includedknocked-out teeth,14 concussions resulting in neural impairment,15 broken legs16 andskull fractures.17 According to scientific studies, males have certain performanceadvantages in sports. One study asserts that, even in non-elite sport, “the leastpowerful man produced more power than the most powerful woman” and states that,where men and women have roughly the same levels of fitness, males’ averagepunching power has been measured as 162 per cent greater than females. 18

11. Policies implemented by international federations and national governingbodies, along with national legislation in some countries, allow males who identifyas women to compete in female sports categories. 28 In other cases, this practice is notexplicitly prohibited and is thus tolerated in practice. The replacement of the femalesports category with a mixed-sex category has resulted in an increasing number offemale athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing againstmales. According to information received, by 30 March 2024, over 600 femaleathletes in more than 400 competitions have lost more than 890 medals in 29 differentsports.2912. Male athletes have specific attributes considered advantageous in certain sports,such as strength and testosterone levels that are higher than those of the average rangefor females, even before puberty,30 thereby resulting in the loss of fair opportunity.Some sports federations mandate testosterone suppression for athletes in order toqualify for female categories in elite sports. However, pharmaceutical testosteronesuppression for genetically male athletes – irrespective of how they identify – willnot eliminate the set of comparative performance advantages they have alreadyacquired.31 This approach may not only harm the health of the athlete concerned, butit also fails to achieve its stated objective. Therefore, the testosterone levels deemedacceptable by any sporting body are, at best, not evidence-based, arbitrary32 andasymmetrically favour males.33 Females are usually tested randomly to ensure thatthey are not using performance-enhancing drugs, while males are often not monitoredto ensure that they are taking testosterone suppression drugs. 34 To avoid the loss of afair opportunity, males must not compete in the female categories of sport. 35

31. Female athletes and coaches who object to the inclusion of men in their spacesdue to concerns about safety, privacy and fairness are silenced or forced to selfcensor; otherwise, they risk losing sporting opportunities, scholarships 78 andsponsorships.79 Many are also accused of bigotry, suspended from sports teams 80 andsubjected to restraining orders, expulsion, defamation and unfair disciplinaryproceedings. In at least one case, a female athlete did not receive a fair hearing.81Other females have quit sport owing to pressure, threats (including death threats 82)and verbal abuse. Such consequences have been reported in, inter alia, the Kingdomof the Netherlands83 and the United States,84 violating the fundamental human rightsof female athletes to freedom of belief, opinion and expression. 85 Women faceaggression when they assemble with respect to these issues. 86

puberty.88 Historically, the sex difference in performance is larger than that explainedby physiological and anatomical differences between males and females, in particularamong lower-ranked athletes. These physiological advantages are not undone bytestosterone suppression.89 Undermining the eligibility criteria for single-sex sportsresults in unfair, unlawful and extreme forms of discrimination against female athleteson the basis of sex. Given this reality, several international and national federations,such as World Aquatics, World Athletics, World Rugby, the International CyclingUnion and others,90 have reinforced female-only categories while ensuring that allathletes can participate, including those with differences of sex development orgender identities other than the sex they were observed to have at birth.

84. All persons, irrespective of their gender identity, are entitled to live a life freefrom discrimination and to have their human rights safeguarded. The Committee onthe Elimination of Discrimination against Women, in its general recommendationNo. 35 (2017) on gender-based violence against women, highlighted thatdiscrimination against women is inextricably linked to other factors that affect theirlives, including ethnicity, race, colour, political opinion, disability, migratory statusand gender identity and sexual orientation. It is therefore important that any sportsrelated policy ensure that transgender persons can participate fully in sports. SomeStates have taken special measures to strengthen inclusion, such as Ireland, which, inits national inclusion strategy for the period 2019–2021, highlighted the positivecontributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons to Irishsport.16985. According to international human rights law, differential treatment onprohibited grounds may not be discriminatory if it is based on reasonable andobjective criteria, it pursues a legitimate aim its effects are appropriate andproportional to the legitimate aim pursued and it is the least intrusive option toachieve the intended result. Maintaining separate-sex sports is a proportional actionthat corresponds to legitimate aims within the meaning of article 26 of theInternational Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and does not automatically resultin the exclusion of transgender persons from sports, nor does it require invasive sexscreenings. When combined with other measures, such as open categories, fairness insports can be maintained while ensuring the ability of all to participate – a course ofaction followed by several professional sports associations.

I honestly don't expect you to read this, but of the 24 pages, about 2 or 3 pages pertain to trans athlete. I had no intention in getting in a pissing match over trans. But getting your panties wadded up over 600 females losing in 890 events in 29 sports is laughably small. The other 20 pages talks in details of abuse of women by coaches, athletes of other sports, and some trivial nonsense. These should be the issues we are tackling.
600> 0
1 is simply too many.
Why is it okay to take from girls/ women. It is not.

Interesting comments by well-informed callers on the Buck & Clay show today. Worth a listen. 3rd hour of the show

Knew someone that worked for Pearson. Company became very liberal between 2008 and 2016

You know, you have a point. Saw the thread about San Jose state. Those trannies are going to sweep the entire… wait a second. Oh, their season is already over. That can’t be right. Trannies are supposed to dominate these inferior girls. Must have thrown those games so that we lower our guard. Shifty trans.
 
You're using a red herring, which is a logical fallacy. Sure, the issue of women being abused is important. No one here disagrees with that. Stealing their opportunities because you are a man who isn't good enough to compete with other men is also a form of abuse. 600 may seem like a small number to you but that's irrelevant. This is a society that defends even just 1 person who is being wronged. Cowards like you who can't chew gum and walk at the same time have never helped anyone. You can belittle us all you want with statements like "getting your panties in a bunch." It's not going to stop us from caring about our daughters, sisters, mothers and wives. Just because you lack the foresight to understand that all big problems start as small problems, doesn't mean that we do. So you can F right off and let the adults handle this. We don't need your help but stay out of our way.
All the arguments presented by them are logically fallacious in some form or another, many times multiple forms.
If we just shut up about it, there would be less? If we ignore the problem, it will go away?


^This ****er was pushing only a handful two pages ago and has now matured into, "We must move on. We must get back to the serious issues!!!"

Nice 1000 word post asshat.


Once Z, always Z.
Z understands athletics/biology. He doesn't/wouldn't honestly support men in women's sports.
