It does open the door for excuse making, and i wouldn't be surprised to find out the maker of the drones has a lobbyist "suggesting" their brand to this school and then pocketing the half million.

If this gets any visibility, I do have some familiarity with the weapon on board.

They call it a "pepper spray bomb" but more accurately pepper spray is generally not what your want because it sticks to walls. The "pepper" in the spray is an oil and imagine cleaning an oil off walls and stuff. If it gets into ventilation you will be breathing it for a week afterward.

No, what's on board these is probably Pava Powder. Think Baby Powder, but s p i c y. Pava has many of the same reactions as pepper sprays, coughing, watery eyes etc. But it works better IN enclosed areas like hallways and enclosed spaces. Prisons love this stuff for incidents bigger than like 3-5 people. It can be packed into a paintball, and works in normal paintball guns (it also comes in a 40mm grenade featuring timed release!) Pava is much easier to clean, you just have to have good ventilation, as it will dissipate normally. It also doesnt trigger allergies like pepper spray can, and all it takes is a nice shower to wash yourself of it. Its really a great choice for the intended settings in which it is often deployed.

In a mobile form like drones, I can't see the drone loading more than 10 balls due to weight, and if you've ever been paintballing you'd know 10 ain't shit. A normal paintball hopper holds about 80, and for pava powder you need to score a fair number of hits or just paint a hallway with them to reach effective saturation. If each drone can hold 20-30 maybe it becomes feasible. It only takes a couple to actually do the work, but in a prison theres nowhere to run. You sit and take that accumulation. But school hallways can be 14 feet wide or more and a shooter has access to the entire building, so any misses simply...miss and begin saturating an area the shooter is leaving.

The alarm on the drone giving the shooters position away is a great touch.

Thats the fact side of things, opinion wise? Man we will do anything but fix the problems. These drones and pava are a great uh...answer for the locale, but it doesnt answer why you have a problem you need a prison grade solution. Pava dissipates into the air and its not that hard to begin to choke on your own breath. A deployment of these will give away the positions of students in adjacent rooms to the shooter. And you can fight it (you can fight pepper pray too), it's just a matter of willpower to fight through choking air. It also guarantees a shooter will attempt to relocate in the building to outrun the pava clouds. Unless theres a way to quickly reload these drones in their ceiling mounts, the low ammo count is going to get them to fire around the halls, and will be more of a deterrent and could be effective at getting a shooter to stay away from populated rooms than actually subduing them and getting them to surrender. The alarm however i like at face value acting as a clear warning for where the shooter is at that moment. A drone following the shooter giving their position away is a fantastic solution if we aren't going to address actual shootings.

7/10 nonlethal solution, with some side effects. I like the idea but the obvious workarounds like a mask, and causing entire rooms to start coughing and alerting the shooter to empty/full rooms, on top of the shooter wildly taking shots at the ceiling to kill an alarming drone causes a host of additional issues. For the pricetag the school could hire like 3 off-duty cops who do their job when a shooter arrives. So thats also a factor. We could also like...address mental health issues or access to firearms but this is America where we pray for evil things to stop rather than actually adressing it so, that wasn't an answer anyway

Microsoft owns Guitar Hero

Harmonix owns Rock Band. And Epic Games owns Harmonix. Fortnite Festival is (unfortunately) the spiritual successor you mentioned, except you gotta buy every song because of course. (Free players have 5 tracks they get to do for free but if you want a decent library you gotta start buying em from the shop)

Clone Hero is the alternative

Honestly I saw this after it said deleted, but frankly my guy i have zero idea what your rant even means. Are you like....mad bugs is dressed in drag?? Are you upset pug specifically posted it?

Did you miss the part where bugs has been around since the 1930s, and has been crossdressing at least since the 50s. One could hate Lola since she was created specifically for Space Jam and that was solely to sell fucking shoes, but BUGS? This image could have been made anywhere after 1940 (even with the obvious Female Bugs) and gets a "haha that's so bugs bunny!"

Your opening rant was so incoherent and your...apparent(?) Accusation that Pug is.....projecting? In denial? I dont even know because it's so off the wall. The only conclusion I can come to is you saying Pug is projecting their identity via a crossdressed bugs bunny meeting lolas parents. Boiled pizza is the only visual shrug that accurately summarizes how much I do not understand your position.

I'd say kicking it but frankly not a lot of kicking anything with the ankle. Uk how it is. Generally Greece hasn't been friendly towards people with kinetic disabilities what with all the stairs and ships and all, so I live on an island relying on the community.

Lovely woman opened a hotel here. Had to move out when her daughter was gonna get married but apparently there was like 3 men who might be her dad...and they sang about it? Idk lotta personal issues there. So just hanging around with some guy and his rock these days.
