Lunch was delivered by drone today. Fastest delivery order I’ve ever received, faster than anyone could have driven it the same distance. Very cool new service here!
The man in the yellow vest is a required observer by the FAA since drone deliveries are only allowed under a test program right now. The drone actually stays above the tree line at all times, and only lowers down a grappling hook to pick up and drop off deliveries. They’re stored inside the drone while in flight.
My wife and I decided to get lunch in this park, which is one of their allowed delivery zones. From our car’s panoramic glass roof we watched the drone fly over to the restaurant, bypassing all the intersections and highways between here and there, then just minutes later fly back and drop the food in the grass next to the parking lot we were in. The food was two burgers and fries from “Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers”, and it arrived hot and fresh!
i watched the video before reading anything, and for a split second thought it was a slo-mo of the lunch being “dropped” to you from 50 ft up. then realized it was on a cable.
Perhaps keep an eye out for a Casio mini at a thrift store in the meantime? The only hard bit would be the vertical part of the back which could be living hinge or hot air gun on acrylic. If you used veneer and living hinge you could make it out of wood and you can’t do that with a 3d printer! (actually one of my major reasons for choosing Glowforge as I could make stuff out of actual wood.)
That is great, but if you live in such an apartment how do you manage such a build, and if you have the ability to build it how is it you have the need? If your kid is going away to college studying music perhaps. Even buying it would be a challenge if that was where you lived.
I actually have such a Casio that could be placed on any table and placed on its side as you would a book when not in use. If you were a composer that would be a useful kit but not many composers are living that close to the bone. I made jewelry for years while living in a 40’ school bus in which more than half was shop but then I never had the need for a place for a computer or other electronics as they had not been invented at that time.
remember not to take your personal situation/life and impose it on others. i have plenty of friends who love music who lived in tiny apartments in NYC for years. plenty of them would have LOVED this.
