![The Wing Hummingbird 7000W-B delivery drone weighs less than 15 pounds. It has 16 propellers - four for horizontal movement and 12 for vertical - a top speed of 60 miles per hour, a carrying capacity of up to 2.7 pounds, and a delivery radius of about six miles. It is authorized by the FAA for beyond-line-of-sight piloting. [highlighted] As a feat of engineering, it is impressive. [\highlighted]
So far I've mostly used it to send people potatoes.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hscujk5a5v6bdmt4nlq2o5cu/bafkreidsvtcoomxi7aephzam3gnfnep2ribcu2duvy6qwasssn2ba7ybei)
![It's been just over three weeks since we found out we had access to subsidized drone delivery. Aside from the two desserts and a couple of bags of gummy Nerds clusters, I've only used it to send potatoes to the dads. I sent three last week, plus one to myself to throw them off the scent. I've probably blown my cover now.
The other day someone - not me - escalated and sent Rick a broccoli potato soup. I'm pretty sure it was Will.
What have I learned from all of this? Well, I now know a few more people in my neighborhood. [highlighted] I've learned that drone delivery is way more useful to me than agentic Al has ever been. [\highlighted] And that given the opportunity to airdrop subsidized potatoes to my friends, I'll take it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hscujk5a5v6bdmt4nlq2o5cu/bafkreigg33z3ihip5iobkylkha7wqajn6zmv77a2y6ccq45bpwanazuvje)
