Also the fragile base class problem.
3. Throw rocks or beanbags or some other kind of projectiles at it.
4. Point frickin' lasers at it, especially if it has a camera.
And #2 assumes that it would use GPS for guidance. If it's a video link to a human operator, it's not going to much. Better yet if the drone has a camera and computer vision using the street grid and buildings as a reference of where it is. After all, you only really need GPS when you're in the middle of nowhere.
The thing is, Canadians have been Spocking their five dollar bills for decades. What surprised me was that they're still doing it after the bill was redesigned.
And after doing a google image search, it seems there have been a few people who tried it with the US five dollar bill too. Abe Lincoln's beard makes him look like Mirror Spock though. And the new Canadian five has also been Snaped.

Don't forget to scrub those EXIF tags! Otherwise it might end up automatically pegged on Google Maps.
Corn syrup is probably why I stopped drinking Coca-Cola and switched to (aspartame) Diet Coke. It just didn't taste as good, though in recent years I've heard that may be because its flavor is more temperature-sensitive, and aspartame isn't. (Then I gave up DC so I wouldn't have to maintain a consistent caffeine dosage to avoid headaches, but I do get CFDC in the gold cans from time to time.)
But I also liked the original formula (with sucrose), enough that I could tell the difference in an unexpected blind test. When "New Coke" was about six months old, my mom took me along to a car repair place. They apparently were big on buying sodas by the case. I opened a can of Coca-Cola, took a sip, my eyes got big, and then I noticed the promo offer on the can from just before New Coke. Supposedly switching to HFCS was in fact not the motivation for making New Coke, it just happened to be at the same time.
The drives were unrecoverable and just went "click click" when later mounted back in the original PCs.
Even if your FUD was true, I don't think he particularly cares about putting it back into his Windows 3.1 386 laptop . I've never had anything like this happen, and I've done everything short of throwing drives in the air and juggling with them. Perhaps you're just "magneto-static" and shit breaks whenever you touch it.
As always, I'm sure it's one guy trying to justify being on the payroll (I'm presuming he doesn't do it for free) by constantly making changes to the HTML, "See what I did today!" Yeah, I see what you didn't do today, which was put the changes on a test server first and try it out with multiple browsers. "Oh look at me, I can make buttons that don't look like buttons until your mouse goes over them!" I see he didn't try it out with Android/IOS either. Hooray for Stupid CSS Tricks. And stop with that fixed width garbage, some of us want a larger font size.
On the other hand, Beta was a manager trying to justify being on the payroll by forcing a major site re-design.
This might be tricky if the hard drive is pre-LBA. The easy way to check is to go into BIOS and see how the hard drives are defined. If there are cylinders/heads/sectors numbers, a USB adapter is probably not going to work. 160MB should be big enough to support LBA.
And don't forget to get the adapter from standard 40-pin IDE to the 44-pin laptop IDE connector. (or get an IDE external laptop drive case, I know there's still a few on the shelf at Fry's)
