Tie a loop of string to the end of that stick so it binds up in the prop

They're probably trying to find a way to take the prop out without destroying the quadcopter they're flying. too loose on the stick and it falls off on the way, too tight and it takes the quad with it. I wonder if a very low test fishing line would work better? In fact, a little 1lb test with a lead line weight on it would probably do great, it'd bolo itself around the prop and likely snap if either uav lost control.

Yeah you need some sort of quick release mechanism. That or some sort of bolo launching mechanism.

Wasn’t there a famous WWII pilot who beat a German bomber to death by repeatedly ramming it with his fighters landing gear after running out of gun ammo?

Reminds me of that.

There was an English guy who did something like that during the Battle of Britain.

I kept envisioning a super cheap bolo flinger or just a thing to drop, but a single or pair of fishing weights attached to a bound up wad of 20lb test fishing line. No need to go Spectra, pretty sure monofilament will do the job just fine. Just one rotor gets bound up and that thing is on the deck.

I'm skeptical on this one. If users are white-boarded, there is no reason to have the slur list.

That would require you to assume that all slurs and insults are permitted for the white list group then, no? If that's not the case, the white list would require a list of specifically allowed terms. No different than adding a website to a web access white list, i.e, 'never flag/block this site for this group under any circumstances.' But other sites may trigger filters.

I don't know for sure, but I do know that muskrat is prone to these kinds of capricious double standards. I will defer to the twitterscape on this though, and am interested to see how the muskrat and his cohorts respond to this. Also curious about why the account was suspended if this is just a troll.
