Actually, she is the Queen of Canada, and like it or not (and clearly, you do not), she is indeed your queen.

That's funny! We were saying the pretty much the same thing to you back in 2001. Well, apart from the Washington DC part.

I don't get why this would be illegal.

Gun stocks aren't going to warp unless they are heated long enough either. Stop clouding the issue. Video of temps well above boiling or it didn't happen.

I do insist. Either make a video showing water boiling on the dash, or find one online.

You say that as if it's a bad thing.

I suspect the designer's secret identity is Aquaman.

Sorry, 150C (300F)

Show me one video of water boiling on a dash. Show me one reference of in-car temperatures exceeding 100C (300F), because everything I've googled tops out at half that.

It will not ever get hot enough inside a car to boil water. Not even in Phoenix Arizona in the summer, let alone in Arctic Canada.

Bacon costs $16/lb, but elk only costs one bullet. Do the math.

100 degrees C? Boiling point of water? Not even close. Besides, considering the number of cars at the north pole, the problem is not worth worrying about. Growing brittle in the severe cold would be the real issue.

It seems more natural for one drone to tell the other "get out of my way" than for that drone to phone in and say "Hey Central, contact drone in sector XYZ and tell it to get out of my way".

Why Washington? Because The Fancy Article is talking about filing flight plans, and since a central authority has to have a center, and Washington is the location of the central controlling authority in the US. (I suppose I should have said Warrenton, Virginia, home of the Air Traffic Control System Command Center, but I didn't know that earlier).

Why do you want a central controlling authority in the first place, whether or not it is geographically sharded? Why is there any need for any sort of database, 4D or otherwise? Simply have the drones talk to each other and negotiate how to avoid each other directly, like small plane pilots following visual flight rules. No need for a database. No need for any authority.

No. I'm recommending a cheap localized solution vs the expensive bureaucratic centralized solution that you're suggesting. Why should I have to talk to Washington to fly a drone over my own field?
