    That's amazing control if that's done by drone.
    I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.

    unless drones have made significant advances recently, no fkn way....my buddy had one and if you even so much as fly it near metal, it fucks up its comms and starts driving like Toonces and hits something
