dio’s big list of murder drone theories
so hi. it’s me dio. i’ve been cookin a bunch of theories i think you guys will like so I’m gonna masterlist em here. these range from “serious” to “crack” so be warned (nothing extreme dw)
Nori will be french (Semi-Serious)
Tumblr media
Evidence gathered -
1. In episode 2, Khan holds up a manual that has 3 languages; Russian, English, and French. These can be linked to Yeva, Alice, and by proxy, Nori.
2. The colors of the French flag, red, blue and white, make what? Purple.
3. As seen in the 7&8 teasers, there is a secret underground cathedral. Cathedrals are French architecture. Perfect to experiment on a FRENCH drone, don’t you think?
4. The French love pissing off the English. Like how Nori pissed off Alice. Coincidence? I think not.
5. Russia, France and the USA happen to be world superpowers. Hm.. powers.. like the solver.
Foreign Accent Syndrome & The Solver (Not expecting it to be canon)
Tumblr media
Evidence gathered/Reasoning -
Alice could suffer from foreign accent syndrome (shortened to FAS) , a condition where it makes the afflicted person speak in a completely different accent in their native language. Linked to brain damage and strokes, the disease is thought to sever connects to the part of the brain that controls your lip movements, thus giving you a different accent.
67% percent of people who suffer from FAS are women, like a majority of the solver users, and we know the solver is notorious for messing with people’s brain. A lot of Russian viewers have pointed out Doll’s bad accent (which I’m well aware is just the VA not natively speaking Russian, but hear me out!) Doll has an American accent due to FAS and the solver messing with her brain.
Thad being the solver’s “spy” (Semi-Serious)
Tumblr media
Evidence gathered/Reasoning
1. Consistent purple headlights in episode 4
2. Lack of vocal interactions
3. Eldritch J afflicting him (cannot be good)
With Doll and Uzi down deep under the surface, the solver has no one of the surface in order to do.. whatever. Not sure yet, but it seems like it choose Thad, possibly due to a closeness with N and Uzi. Whatever he has, it cannot result in him being normal in any way whatsoever. I just refuse to believe it. Interestingly, he also happens to be named after a disciple of Jesus who warns of heretics and is literally the patron symbol of hope.
The cross (Serious)
Tumblr media
Evidence gathered/Reasoning-
The cross in the episode 7 teaser everyone is going crazy for, I know! But it being upside down will not necessarily represent an evil. Instead-
- A cross upside down is representative of St. Peter, who requested to be crucified upside down because he did not feel worthy of dying the same way as Jesus.
- An upside down crucifix, however does actually represent the devil, and would represent the solver in this case. The key difference is that a crucifix has Jesus’s body on the cross.
Uzi is clearly holding a cross due to the lack of Jesus. This makes me believe that she herself doesn’t feel worthy of something; my top pick is she doesn’t feel worthy of sacrificing herself for the better of Copper-9 and the universe, and gives into the solver as a result.
JCJenson is cover-up business for a cult (Serious)
Tumblr media
Evidence gathered/reasoning -
1. Humans are not too concerned with events surrounding the solver- in fact, they seem content being around it. Tessa seems to be the only one to care.
2. JCJenson products and products of Cyn/Solver share a lot of characteristics
3. A very cult like area sitting under JCJenson labs is very suspicious
My best guess here is that JCJenson summoned the solver for money/power in exchange for giving the solver test subjects and sacrifices such as Nori and Yeva so that they can grow. However, the cult slowly began to corrupt the company until they became just a cover up- quickly switching to space travel to help spread the solver while still advancing their robotics. The Elliot’s were possibly a family who disliked this idea and made special leaps to make sure the solver didn’t infect their house; which failed, just look at episode 5.
Final Destination & an actual true important death (Serious)
Evidence Gather/Reasoning -
Tumblr media
Final destination is a movie trilogy that is notoriously famous for having gruesome deaths and how attempt to escape death is futile. Since other episodes have been based off other horror flicks/tropes (I.E, episode 2 was based off Alien, episode 3 Carrie, episode 4 any slasher flick ever, etc) I believe someone important will “die” this episode and in a gruesome manner. J? Doll? Uzi? N? Fucking Khan? Who knows!
Teacher affiliated with the solver (Crack)
Tumblr media
1. Orange eyes, like Alice had, suggests he was affected by the solver at one point
2. Wayy different from other worker drones, who are at most optimistic about death and at their worst having a panic attack. He simply does not care. About anything.
3. Knew something was up with Uzi before her solver was even revealed
4. Only worker drone who’s seen on screen drinking. Even if it’s just an alcoholic drink, we know drones can’t drink anything other than oil and batteries, so what’s in there?
5. No where to be seen during episode 4, considering he would have been an easy target for Uzi
Completely crack, I just like this theory cause it seems so out of place and different. I reviewed some cursive on the clipboard and apparently, his name might be Lu/Lou or some variant, maybe even Liam? Who knows it’s fucking funny lol
fish khan

Everyone, look.
They are not UFOs.
They are drones.
Drones.
FUCKING DRONES
they don’t have the squishy human inside.
Do you understand? It’s the squishy leather canteens of meat that limit aircraft and we are used to seeing them fly a certain way our whole life. Even fighter planes!
Take out the human, and suddenly the limiting factor is how much Gs electronics and servos and pumps and engines can take. Which is a LOT MORE
And I’m not talking about the cute nifty shit you can buy from Best Buy. Or some box of scraps made in a garage. Or some fancy nerd shit from boutique hobbies websites. I’m talking Lockheed Martin, aka Stark Enterprises. What could you make a drone do with the defense budget and industry of the USA or China?
SOME CRAZY SHIT!
Like this radar reflection shape for a drone:
Tumblr media
Or stick bug looking shit
Tumblr media
There is zero doubt that at least hundreds of unknown designs and configurations and hundreds of variants of those designs have been flying all over the place
Come on people the aliens could not give less of a fuck about us you really think they burned a STAR’S WORTH OF ENERGY to come over here just to crash into New Mexico and talk to fucking Herbert Hoover or Bush or some shit????

What was inside the UK national pavilion at Expo 2010? Did anyone get in there? Maybe they could pass on the inside dope? Because one thing is for sure, if ‘Anglosphere’ cultural resonances mean anything, expectations can be pitched down to sub-basement levels. Like the UK, Australia did a good — even excellent job – with the outside of its pavilion, but its exhibition was, to be brutally frank, a disgrace. Vacuous, patronizing, revoltingly sentimental, and despicably cowardly – details would be nice, of course, but actually there weren’t any — it served to perfectly illustrate the collapse of Expo, from a festival of dynamic modernization to a whining indulgence in modernity’s most destructive cultural pathologies. Where once an exhibition, whether corporate or national, boldly declared: “This is what we’re doing (isn’t it magnificent?),” now they exhaust their attenuated energies exploring new, although consistently unimaginative, ways of saying “sorry.” Narcissistic guilt flaps pointlessly about the exhibition space like a shoal of stranded fish, dying on a beach.
Incredibly, the USA pavilion was even worse. Not only was the pavilion itself a prefabricated strip-mall insult, unworthy of comparison with a second-tier Wallmart, but the exhibition inside took the obsequious pandering of the Australians to a whole new level. We wanted a space shuttle or a predator drone and they gave us Hillary Clinton saying “ni hao” plus some nonsense about planting flower-beds in the ghetto. Anyone who left this pavilion without deep and abiding detestation for everything America represented itself as being probably thinks Barney is a pretty cool guy. This was the society once capable of staging the Chicago Expo of 1893, the New York Expos of 1939-40 and 1964-5, of making incredible things and exhibiting them, of depicting a compelling vision of the future, and now … morbid Spenglerian reflections were inescapable.
[…]
The West is obviously spiraling down the drain, and what it needs, above anything, is some inspiring competition. In particular, and in 2010, it needed a western Pacific Rim, full-throttle development, blazing-a-path-to-the-future Expo that – purely by inevitable implication – maximized the humiliation of the senescent ‘developed’ world and jolted it with the roughest imaginable type of tough love from its path of decline. (Of course, the societies most in need of this shock therapy are too lost in the enthralling minutiae of their own degeneration to have noticed it, but still …) Instead, Expo 2010 remained scrupulously courteous, deferential to deeply decayed Expo traditions, and respectful of the multicultural piety that even the most wretched examples of systematic social failure have a dignity of their own. What it lacked was a massive injection of pure, unselfconscious, ethno-historical arrogance, based on unmoderated confidence in what was being achieved.
Perhaps this can be stated even more offensively: modernization should make people feel bad. Its most altruistic or epidemic function is to so thoroughly deride and humiliate all of those who are failing to modernize that eventually, after every excuse and projection has been attempted and exhausted, behavior is changed. Backwardness is made shameful, and thus corrected. That’s how history works. It began that way among the jig-saw principalities of Renaissance Europe, it worked that way in Japan (bringing modernization with the Meiji restoration), in China, long denigrated for its ‘stagnant Confucianism’, now big mummy of the Dragon economies, in India, finally lashed psychologically out of its absurd ‘Hindu rate of growth’ by the China model, and everywhere else that has ever climbed out of complacent sloth onto the developmental fast track. It’s long overdue to start happening in the West, because what has been happening there — for the best part of a century now — simply isn’t working, and this chronic social failure is nowhere near clear, painful, or embarrassing enough to the populations concerned.
[…]
No doubt 2010 is still too recent for alternative or counter-factual history, for an Expo-punk (or X-punk) genre, searching out everything that might have been re-animated through the event — but the venture is irresistible. Call it Asia Unleashed 2010, an utterly impolite assertion of new socio-geographical realities that expresses, in raw and overwhelming style, the central truth of the age: the simultaneous de-westernization and radical re-invigoration of modernity.
[…]
Asia Unleashed also needs a lot of things brought in, most of all machines. Expo is all about machines, even though every Expo over the last half-century has been pitifully deficient in this regard. It scarcely needs mentioning that the entire Expo site should be pulsing, crawling, and twitching with robots of every type and scale, from industrial goliaths, automated submarines and space vehicles, through charismatic androids, to intelligent household appliances, Go players, robopets, and insectiform mechanisms. To push the process along, those countries and corporations with the laziest robot exhibits can be publicly ridiculed over the PA system.
[…]
The mining industry employs monster trucks weighing 203 tonnes, with a capacity to carry 360 tonnes, they cost US$3 million each, their tires are four-meters in diameter, and driving one is like “driving a house” – why on earth didn’t Expo 2010 have one? Asia Unleashed most certainly would. For developed countries with the resources to put on an impressive show at Expo there needs to be something like a price for admission, and an awe-inspiring piece of industrial machinery fits the bill exactly. The Canadian tar sands are being criss-crossed by these monster trucks, and the Canada national pavilion should have been strongly advised to bring one over. Instead they brought … (hands up if anyone remembers).

Putin is absolutely right. After reunification, the Russian occupying forces withdrew from Germany forever, while the American troops and their military bases remain to this day and have even been expanded for their military aggression in the Middle East and now Eastern Europe. From Ramstein, US soldiers conduct their illegal drone attacks in Arabic-speaking countries, which regularly kill many innocent civilians.
Furthermore, Germany is still listed in the UN enemy states clause.
Chancellor Scholz's sudden U-turn after loud cries of the US government wanting to supply tanks, despite the absolute majority of Germans opposing it, proves perfectly that the US government treats Germany like a vassal to this day. All support for Ukraine runs fundamentally against German interests in economic, foreign policy and military terms. Only an outside controlled government would harm its own people in such a way for supporting Ukrainian scum.
When President Trump demanded that the Germans pay more for "their own protection" through higher military spending and threatened to withdraw US troops from Germany completely, my first thought was: Fuck yes, please piss off! He must be very clueless to think that most Germans saw this as a threat. Seriously, who are they supposed to protect us from?! Only through the USA and NATO did Russia become our enemy. And China is actually on the other side of the globe. So there is absolutely no point in believing these American lies.
About American Fascism
I have to admit, this whole Ukraine war has made me very anti-American. I have nothing against Americans personally and find their original ideals of self-determination very appealing, but the US state of today and the general attitude of many Americans that they must be number one in the world to pose as "soldiers of liberty" everywhere, just pisses me off. They have so many problems in their own country. So it would be best for the Americans themselves if they withdraw their soldiers from all countries in the world and reconsider their own fascist system, since the US government is an inhuman mixture of state power with rapacious corporations that don't give a shit about their own people.
American military became a tool of American corporations
The US has been secretly controlled by the military since World War I. To this day, every Holywood film gets strictly checked by the Pentagon, whether it always portrays the USA and especially the US military as the heroes, while the super villains speak German and the archenemy is Russia. In between, there were Muslims as another invented image of the enemy, with the Twin Tower blowing up as an impressive justifications for many more wars in Arabic-speaking countries. In truth, however, the CIA, possibly together with the Israeli secret service, blew up the skyscrapers themselves in order to appeal to the patriotism of the Americans and to inspire them for many more wars. Would a democracy based on humanism act like this?!
The entire foreign policy purpose of today's USA is solely to develop foreign raw materials for its own large corporations and thereby eliminate undesirable states. It's no different with Ukraine, as BlackRock have already made plans to develop the resource deposits in eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian nationalism is just a welcome tool for the Pentagon to obtain virtually cheap mercenaries.
American big industry depends on the exploitation of others. It is the behavior of a typical empire, differing only from previous empires, that babble of "democratic values" is used as a moral shield, rather than honestly admitting that the president is not elected but made by an autocracy. Because apparently even a semi-senile grandfather can become president, since the decisions are made by the Pentagon and the powerful people behind it from the banking and armaments sectors anyway.
When Conscientious Objectors Become Warmongers
The corona fake pandemic has proven that the self-proclaimed "democrats" in particular do not shy away from fascist measures by threatening people with job losses if they do not undergo a questionable medical experiment. A genuine democracy based on humanism would have initially discussed the pros and cons intensively and at best made a recommendation, instead of driving millions of Americans into existential misery. And it's the same self-proclaimed "Democrats" who are clamoring loudest for more arms supplies, more missiles and tanks for some dead-end nation, while hypocritically calling for compassion and tougher laws for every gunshot victim in the US! How can you understand this contradiction: against firearms in your own country, but without hesitation in exporting weapons to war zones?!
Appeal to emotions replaces factual discussions
The current Ukraine conflict is only continuing what became blatantly obvious with the Corona policy at the latest: A fascist-like policy is being veiled with the most idiotic emotions and questionable morality. This ambivalence was once again very impressively demonstrated: when Germany refused to deliver tanks to the Ukraine, the Germans were insulted in the worst possible way. The West was not interested in the fact that Germany and its people should decide for themselves what they consider right. Mainstream mock discussions were poisoned with, as always, questionable images of Ukrainian war victims, while any doubt about official opinion was branded as immoral. So they actually managed to sell weapons of war as peace, which have long been used by the Ukrainians to attack Russian locations beyond their borders and not just for defensive purposes. The vast majority in the West are not at all aware of the consequences of their decisions how they are complicit in the war and the suffering of others.
Kraut On Demand
As soon as Chancellor Scholz agreed to the tank delivery due to American pressure, the same hateful people suddenly praised Germany and teased it as best friends. Seriously, what's wrong with them?! How can you change your mind as fast as everyday underwear?!
There is a nice term for this in German: Gleichschaltung; a typical feature of an autocratic society, where the opinion of most citizens is always congruent with the public opinion determined by the state and its secret services. When the government says that Germany sucks and wraps the whole thing up emotionally enough, for example, "Germans support the enemy Russia," then that's enough to suddenly change general opinion. Accordingly, Krauts prejudices are dug out of the Nazi mothball and the propaganda runs. But if Germany does exactly what Uncle Sam wants… bäääm, Germany is really awesome again. I can understand only too well how most Russians feel now, having been collectively convicted and accordingly despised.
If I were chancellor
You also have to think carefully about what actually happened here: The entire West forced Germany to make a decision that could possibly trigger a third world war! Did the US government want to pass on its responsibility to the Germans in this way, based on the idea: a world war more or less on the account of the Germans doesn't matter either?! I find that not only outrageous, but unacceptable!
With the destruction of Nord Stream at the latest, Germany should have given the USA an ultimatum: Make amends or we will break off all relations with you. There is absolutely no doubt that Germany's infrastructure was attacked by a NATO member, of course at the behest of the US government. The Baltic Sea is the best guarded body of water in the world. If the Russians themselves had destroyed their lines, which makes absolutely no sense anyway, we would have known long ago. Instead, the entire NATO has remained silent to this day, even though the attack on Germany's infrastructure would actually represent an alliance case! It is so blatantly obvious that only the US benefited from this sabotage, and of course Ukraine as their new "friends" (as long as they are of use).
At the latest now that the USA is even driving Germany into a war against Russia, the only sensible answer is: Stop it! Get out of our country, pack up your fucking missiles, tanks and other toys and go back to your own continent!
If I were Chancellor, I would keep my people completely out of this Slavic nonsense in Eastern Europe, be politically neutral and resume economic relations with Russia in order to obtain cheap energy for my country and to open up sales markets. the war in Ukraine is absolutely not our business! On the contrary, as proof of my goodwill, I would even cut off all diplomatic contact with Kyiv and deny Ukraine the status of an independent state, in addition to stopping all military aid. The Ukrainian government is a joke. Officially welcoming his representative is like courting warlords with a Nazi mindset.
But unfortunately I'm not Chancellor, so we continue to be spammed every day with American war propaganda in order to find our own self-destruction morally right!

How Amazon Uses Last Mile Delivery To Improve Logistics
youtube
As is not unusual place know-how via way of means of now, final-mile logistics is the most costly part of the order-achievement process.
Since Ecommerce is an enormously aggressive enterprise with low margins with nearly all merchandise effortlessly to be had on several marketplaces, agencies are for all time experimenting with new approaches to reduce expenses and benefit a march over their competition.
In this sort of scenario, order shipping has grown to be an essential device for growing an aggressive advantage. Suppliers, in addition to logistics and distribution agencies, are continuously engaged in seeking to supply patron applications quicker and less expensive even as seeking to provide their clients with as many alternatives as viable.
While economies-of-scale affect the enterprise of delivery chain and distribution as a great deal as some other industries — with more volumes bringing fee efficiencies — the task rests in particular with final-mile logistics. Delivering every parcel to man or woman purchaser addresses is a hard task. Unsurprisingly, final-mile debts for greater than 50% of the general fee of distribution.
In this article, we examine the adventure that Amazon has traversed to lessen the fee of final mile shipping, inclusive of its tasks going into the future.
Ecommerce’s best task: staying adjoining with growing shipping needs.
All e-trade agencies will solve in unison while posing the query approximately their “best task” — retaining up with the shipping needs of today’s clients!
Case in point, while even an Ecommerce behemoth like Amazon has encountered years of conflict with its deliveries, you recognize that the difficulty is deep and wishes severe thought.
Therefore, in case you are an eCommerce company and are trying to have a take observe quality practices in final mile shipping excellence, here’s a complete examine the manner Amazon does it.
Amazon’s in-residence logistics: a examination its history
1. Same-Day Deliveries (2009): Back in 2009, at a time when today’s explicit shipping instances had been unbeknownst to the sector, Amazon delivered it beneath neath the call of Local Express Delivery!
In its early days, this had constrained availability, being constrained simplest to the metros of the USA. Between 2009–13, its logistics advanced incrementally every year. Acquisitions just like the 2012 KEVA robotics had been additionally made.
2. Operation Dragon Boat (2013): They took their in-residence logistics and final-mile shipping knowledge to the sector through Operation Dragon Boat. In the equal year, the employer introduced Amazon Prime Air, a drone fleet geared toward final-mile shipping excellence including 30 drones, which became withinside the works.
But, it has remained mired in air site visitors and regulatory tips in view that for that reason now no longer capable of performing effectively.
3. Upping the ante (2014): Needing to enhance its final-mile shipping talents to preserve up with its expansion, Amazon offered a 25% stake in Colis Prive and Yodel, transport agencies. (In 2016, Amazon received Colis Prive, and similarly introduced to their swiftly developing final-mile muscle).

5. Amazon Flex: Following the remarkable fulfillment of Amazon Prime Now, the employer is determined to foray into the on-call market.
With its infrastructure already in place (in contrast to competition Postmates and Uber), Amazon Flex — an on-call for shipping provider to supply items from Amazon warehouses to clients directly — became released. Under this, all drivers are covered in the sharing economy, a circulate this is conducive to order-achievement.
6. Amazon Logistics (2018): To lessen its transport and achievement expenses (which stood at a mammoth $27 bn and $34 bn respectively in 2018), Amazon Logistics became formally released.
7. Free One-Two-Day Delivery (2019): With its in-residence logistics operation now marching towards reaching its genuine potential, Amazon released its (now famous!) unfastened one-day shipping!

• Prime Aircrafts: Amazon targets to take its air fleet to a complete of eighty-two via way of means of including 12 new plane
• Air-hubs: on the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati airports merely for boosting their final-mile logistics
Some key final-mile tasks via way of means of Amazon:
1. DSP (Delivery Service Partner Program): Through this partnership program, Amazon groups up with upcoming logistics startups. The accomplice invests approximately $10,000 to install a shipping team, while Amazon substances the call for, i.e., applications that are to be added to purchaser addresses from their employer warehouses. Within America itself, Amazon has already partnered with approximately 2,000 such third-birthday birthday celebration shipping partners.
2. Amazon Prime Air: Jeff Bezos has been using drones as a handy alternative for handing over applications in view that as a long way lower back than in 2013!
Prime Air seeks to do simply this, having obtained the go-in advance from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) to check out this technology.
The employer claims that the usage of drones is likewise green in view that they’re electric-powered and use easy energy. It targets to make all its deliveries carbon-unfastened and commits to reaching 50% of this via way of means by 2030.

The QuadAir Drone is said to be a work of art and it is highly recommended and comes with high grades from tech companies as well as enthusiasts. Below are a few reviews from some drone enthusiasts as well as drone experts and customers.
Paul Acher (Founder of DroneGator) “This drone is one of the best on the market. There is no comparable product when it comes to value for money. The range of flying modes and the precision of the controls puts it up there with some of the most expensive models, and yet it is completely affordable. It beats all other competitors.”

Drone Training Pros “Don’t be fooled by this drone’s compact size: the power it houses is comparable to most devices twice or three times in the same size. Its precision engineering makes it both lightweight and impressively robust. The box comes with spare propellers just in case, but we’re not sure that you’ll ever need them!”
Drone Pilot Ground School “We’re always looking for the best way to document our amazing travels so that we can share them with our customers and followers. We’ve experimented with drones in the past, but until now we’ve found them over-complicated, under-powered and too fragile to pack. The QuadAir Drone has completely changed the way we record our trips and we are now making professional-quality videos in half the time!”
ACEHE “The quality of this drone is staggering compared to the price you pay. This marks a turning point in drones. It is clear from the QuadAir Drone that you can now purchase a top-of-the-range drone for a fraction of the cost of some of the leading models. This technology is now accessible to everyone, and we couldn’t be more excited!”
Customer one. “Very Nice little drone!! Very steady flight with altitude hold. It gets blown around in the wind a little but has fast enough maneuverability that an experienced pilot won’t have a problem in light winds. You get a little more than you pay for in my opinion. Records video and takes pictures that save directly to your phone or an external SD memory card. I’m very satisfied and it is a Fun little indoor bird!”
Customer Two. “It’s my first drone, I just tried it at home to check it works and it has a very good height control and is very stable. I was pleased with the battery life, and with extra batteries I can fly about as long as i’d ever want to. Good to control sensitivity and respond well, I ordered the version of 3 batteries and carrying bag and it is fully recommended. For now very happy, fast shipping, I’ll send the valuation when I try it outside and see the camera as it behaves, but what I said for the moment price very well.”
Customer Three. “I’m happy with the choice I made, a nice, light and portable drone. Really good quality camera and clear images. I immediately tried the drone at home and it’s fantastic. Very fun and beautiful greetings.”
Customer Four. “Overall, a great easy to use drone. I took it in a set with a handbag, it is convenient (I advise) to store and carry it. The price and quality are top notch. Great Buy!!!”
Customer Five. “Great drone for the money. Pity I cannot upload here a video where I show how I can fly it in my room. The altitude held with barometer air pressure works very well. The app is good, the drone connects to the smartphone with no hassle.”

Reasons To Consider Commercial Aviation Insurance Plan
There is hardly an individual left who does not aspire to fly high, at least figuratively. Several young people take this ambition literally and hope to rule the skies by becoming excellent aviators. The airline's rules guide a commercial pilot, but one who pilots an aircraft for an independent business or as a hobby has to think about safety too. Guiding an unmanned aerial vehicle such as a drone is not merely done on a whim. ​ On the contrary, such an exercise is often done for a specific reason, with the military, film production units, agriculture industry, and law enforcement authorities finding drones necessary. Protecting the tiny guided vehicles even when operated from the safety of one's home is essential too. One cannot risk damaging it or the equipment within. Even worse is the prospect of causing damage to properties and individuals or animals in the way. One has to be covered for such eventualities without any exception. The best solution here would be to consider buying a tailor-made UAV insurance plan.
Yes! Most drones are used by government authorities such as the military and investigation agencies. Unmanned aerial systems and vehicles are increasingly being used for commercial purposes at present. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) does not demand proof of insurance for the commercial operation of a drone across the states of the USA, but most companies employing drone operators often ask for a valid Certificate of Insurance (COI) to ensure that the pilot has enough coverage to protect self and the clients. Companies that use UAVs extensively are not averse to buying this insurance coverage either. It is interesting to note that having adequate UAV insurance coverage reduces the associated risks substantially.
With knowledge about drone insurance being in short supply, one needs to check the associated facts and be informed about every aspect of the insurance policies before deciding to buy the proper coverage. One of the questions that come to mind immediately on learning about the requirement is:
What does a drone insurance policy cover? It is best to use a multi-tiered approach to buy the requisite coverage before flying a drone. Such a plan can help one protect the inventory effectively even when not flying. The flight coverage can be added without ado when one decides to fly the drone. The ground-based risks of owning and operating a drone that must be covered include: · Liability for personal and advertising injury along with a variety of privacy claims · Liability for third-party injury and/or property damages · Premises liability
Most insurance companies that offer customized UAV/UAS include on-demand flight coverage for varying periods! One can buy the coverage for a single day's operation or utilize it for up to a year.
Commercial flights are essential for traveling to a far-off destination. The flight operators, flying schools, and hangar maintenance personnel need to be covered by commercial aviation insurance to ensure the safety of people, aircraft, and passengers.

Queen live at Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, NJ, USA - August 9, 1982
Tumblr media
(x)
Tumblr media
This is an eventful US Hot Space show played to an arena that is far from full. In fact, a second night in East Rutherford was originally planned for August 10, but later moved to New Haven due to the low ticket sales.
Roger's voice is uncharacteristically hoarse tonight, and he struggles on some of his backing vocals in Somebody To Love.
Towards the end of his vocal exchange with the audience after Save Me, Freddie tells them, "I'm gonna make you sing like Aretha Franklin", like he did during Now I'm Here in Milton Keynes a couple months back. But this time he doesn't succeed, as he gives up after only one line. "I knew you were from New Jersey. You had to be. I mean, I've been listening to Gilda Radner. She's right!"
Brian starts Get Down Make Love (which segues into his solo spot) with his John Birch copy. A bit over three minutes into his solo spot he breaks a string, and soon turns off the analog delays, trying to make the best of the situation for a brief while (the other five strings go out of tune when you break a string on an electric guitar with floating tremolo, so one must hold the whammy bar down in a specific place for the guitar to remain in tune - not an easy task!). But he ultimately gives up, and takes the guitar off and hurls it over his stack of Vox cabinets (the one and only time he did this), snapping it in half. Some audience members watch in bewilderment as they have witnessed the normally gentle and soft-spoken May lash out in frustration. Others cheer the 'coolness' factor. A roadie, visible to the audience, picks up a piece of the Birch guitar and holds it up for a brief moment. The beleagured axeman then switches to his Flying V, and he and Roger (barely) finish the segment, not before that guitar, too, goes out of tune.
The next song is Body Language, and the front of house tech switches on Mercury's harmonizer a verse too early, giving "you got red lips" a bit too much redness.
Brian (who hasn't spoken much on stage on this tour since Love Of My Life was his usual speaking spot) says a few words after Under Pressure. "People of New Jersey, we seem like good friends. I tell you, we've seen you a lot of times. We've been around quite a while and we've done some strange things here and there. And now and again we've done a song which actually means something, and I think this is one of them. This is a song Freddie wrote for the last album. This is called Life Is Real." Queen performed the ballad only a few times.
After the song ends, Freddie asks, "How are we doing with the guitars?" He tells the audience, "I think tonight's the night we're gonna break as many guitars as we've got. If anybody in the audience has a spare guitar, bring it over here!" Someone in the audience replies, "I've got three!" He continues, "OK, we're gonna do a song that requires everybody on their feet, because I mean, you gotta... I know you guys are very cool and laid back, this is a really dirty song. You know, it comes from here." No doubt a crude gestitulation follows. "It's from the c*nt. It's called Fat Bottomed Girls!" Brian lets out a lot of aggression in the last couple minutes of the song, even playing some heavy syncopated lines before the final few bars.
Frustration abounds in Freddie as well, as he responds to a drone he (and everyone else) is hearing. "Before this next song, we'd like... what is that fucking noise? It's been driving me crazy all fucking night. I bet it's not doing you guys any good, either."
It takes a little while for the Red Special to be restrung, so Brian plays his Flying V for a few songs, according to a fan who attended the show (although Brian stated in a January 1983 interview that he acquired the Flying V *because* of this incident - but this claim is questionable, as pictures from last week's concert in Toronto reveal his Flying V on a guitar stand side stage). These few songs sound different with this new guitar tone - particularly the Bohemian Rhapsody solo. He would return with his beloved home-made guitar for the hard rock section of Bohemian Rhapsody, but he wouldn't fully regain his composure for the rest of the evening.
In the second verse of We Are The Champions, a flippant comment from Mercury sums up the evening: "It's been no bed of roses, I can tell you!"
A fan wrote to Brian at his Soapbox about this night:
"During the show you had problems with The Old Lady and came out with the Birch copy. Then the birch copy had some problems and you threw it and your roadie missed it I think because he held up something that looked like a broken Birch Guitar. You then played a good part of the concert on a Flying V. I remember wishing I had a camera to see you playing on the V. You played Life Is Real while repairs were being done. Freddie even joked if someone had an extra guitar to please bring it up. After the break in BORHAP you came back with the Old Lady."
Brian's reply:
"You evidently saw a special night ... the only night when I ever threw a guitar off stage in despair ! And, yes, I did hit the ground behind the stage - I'm pretty sure I thought I was throwing to someone, but evidently I misjudged it. And, yes, its neck snapped clean through. I kept it for a while, intending to get it fixed. But we decided it would probably never be good at staying in tune, because it wasn't a very rigid instrument. And not being able to get it in tune was what drove me to distraction that night, and this was what led to its demise! As I remember, this was on top of having problems with the Red Special in the beginning - in the heat of the moment, this was the final straw ! I imagine your bootleg of the show will reveal the problems I was having. These things usually make me feel ashamed, frustrated, angry, in the moment... I don't like giving people less than the best. So this picture really does tell a story ... a unique story. I wonder what happened to the Flying V ... As for the Birch guitar, well, we lent it to Guild, to compare, while they were making their Red specials under license in the 80's. Then we all forgot about it for many years. Then it turned up, and thanks to a friend (I think I told the story here) it now resides back with me. We have decided to keep it as it is, in pieces, just for historical interest, for the same reasons as before."
Brian has since reunited with the guitar, apparently after it was purchased on eBay. Its story and a couple pictures of it can be seen at Brian's website. It was repaired by Andrew Guyton, although it wasn't a complete restoration as Brian wanted to see exactly where he broke it.
The photo above was taken by Gary Gershoff. Here are a few pro photos from the show:

Fan Stories
“Queen played a great show, but when Brian started his Brighton Rock solo, he broke a string on "The Old Lady" and you could tell he was not happy. He actually threw that guitar at the stand and it fell over and me and my fellow RS/Brian/Queen fanatic buddy looked at each other in astonishment. He quickly was given the John Birch copy by his guitar tech and continued his solo. Well about two minutes go by and you could tell he was not happy with the Birch and then a string breaks on that guitar. He was on Deacons side of the stage and he runs over to his side towards his wall of Vox amps and hurls the guitar over the stack. His guitar tech brings out the Gibson Flying V and Brian finishes the solo. At the end of the solo the tech brings back "The Old Lady" restrung as Queen kicks back in. I believe at this point Brian was doing the solo in the middle of Now I'm Here. Some time between one of the next songs the Tech emerges from behind the stack to show Brian and the entire audience the result of Brians outrage as he holds up the two pieces of The John Birch. My friend and I looked at each other and knew we had just seen a bit of Queen history. From what I remember it was a case of the neck snapping off from the body. I remember a few months ago somehow the John Birch had turned up and Brian was curious about where and when it happened.” - Todd

Israel’s Second Struggle for Independence
The USA has been Israel’s greatest friend and supporter in recent years.
It is also Israel’s biggest problem.
Our dependence on American military aid has sharply limited our freedom of action, distorted our decisions about procurement of weapons, crippled the development of our own military industries, corrupted our decision-makers, and damaged our standing as a sovereign state.
It is true that on some occasions Israel has acted against America’s wishes, such as the bombing of the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981. It is also true that far more frequently, Israel has been forced to bow to US demands, even when they are not in her best interests. In several wars and smaller operations, cease-fires have been dictated by American pressure, although Israel would have preferred to continue fighting longer in order to achieve a decisive victory. During the Gulf War, the US prevented Israel from retaliating for Iraqi Scud attacks. In peacetime, US pressure has prevented Israel from building in Judea and Samaria, and forced Israel to accept Palestinian demands for the release of prisoners. American opposition was a major factor in the decision not to attack Iranian nuclear facilities in the 2010-2012 period.
Israel’s relationship with the US has been better or worse depending on the direction of political winds there, but pressure to reverse the outcome of the 1967 war has been a constant ever since – with the notable exception of the Trump administration, which for the first time recognized Israeli rights to Jerusalem and the Golan heights. But now it seems that the US is taking a turn in the other direction; and this time – thanks to Israel’s conclusive loss of the cognitive war for the consciousness of American elites, the partisan division of attitudes toward Israel, and the new strength of the radical Left in American politics – our time in the wilderness may turn out to be much longer than before.
The inroads being made by elements hostile to Israel into the American educational system, previously limited to higher education, but now reaching into high school and even grade school levels, are troubling. The “intersectional” connections being made between every progressive cause, and the politicization of almost every field of endeavor, have injected the issue of Israel vs. the Palestinians into places where it was not found before.
This is a problem, because our enemies – particularly Iran – are taking advantage of the less pro-Israel climate in the US. The Biden Administration, which has already significantly released the pressure on Iran, appears to be galloping toward a full removal of sanctions, whether or not it will gain significant leverage over their nuclear weapons program. Trump’s sanctions had sent the Iranian economy into a tailspin, which helped energize the Iranian opposition to the repressive and backward regime of the Ayatollahs. Even today, Iranians are in the streets protesting against the regime. But the removal of sanctions will not help them; the regime will funnel cash into its nuclear program, into the pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, Yemen, and Syria, and to build up Israel’s most dangerous enemy, Hezbollah.
At the same time, the Biden Administration, which has staffed its echelons dealing with the Middle East with people less than friendly to Israel – including some with a history of anti-Israel activism (see here, here, and here) – has already restored funding to the Palestinian Authority and UNRWA, plans to re-open the Jerusalem consulate, the unofficial “US Embassy to the State of Palestine” in Jerusalem, and to allow the PLO to restore its embassy in Washington.
A recent poll shows that the Democratic Party, which now controls the House, Senate and the Presidency, has moved significantly away from its formerly solid support for Israel in recent years, with sympathy for Israel among Democrats maintaining a slight edge of only 3 percentage points over sympathy for the Palestinians. The “liberal” wing of the party is far worse, with the Palestinians holding a 15% margin over Israel. Younger respondents also were more likely to favor the Palestinians, which argues for a continuation of the trend. And there is a very vocal contingent in the US Congress that is strongly anti-Israel, and not at all constrained from giving voice to the most extreme anti-Israel propaganda.
The Israeli leadership must come to understand that the continued expectation that Israel will receive military and diplomatic support from the US is unrealistic and dangerous. Israel needs to take action now, to reduce its dependence on the US, to increase its freedom of action, and to build up its own resources in important areas.
There is only one way for a small country in a strategic area to obtain independence from the various empires that wish to make it a satellite, and it is difficult and precarious. That is to play the empires off against one another, and to make alliances with other unaligned nations. I believe that Binyamin Netanyahu understood this, and made small but steady progress in this direction. It remains to be seen if the present government, whose foreign policy appears to be in the hands of the obsequious Yair Lapid, can pull this off.
From the military standpoint, Israel needs to be its own main source of supply. That has implications for the kind of military forces it can field. For example, it may be unrealistic to try to maintain a large fleet of the most sophisticated manned combat aircraft. Drones and precision-guided missiles are far less expensive than F-35s, and while they can’t entirely replace conventional aircraft, a small country will find it more practical to produce and maintain them.
There are also economic considerations. Iron Dome is a wonderful thing, but if it costs $100,000 to intercept a $500 rocket, then massive-scale use of it will bankrupt us. It is much less expensive to deter rocket attacks with the threat of forceful reprisals than to depend on antimissile systems to ward them off. The former strategy is more appropriate for a smaller country whose defense budget is not bottomless. I don’t suggest doing away with antimissile systems entirely, just changing our strategy so that we will not need so many of them.
I recommend that we start moving in this direction now, by agreeing with the US to a gradual phase-out of military aid. At the same time, we will have to revitalize our domestic military industries. Barack Obama very cleverly did not decrease the level of military aid we received, to maintain the maximum leverage over our actions. But the percentage of that aid that could be spent outside of the US was set to gradually drop to zero over the next few years. This had the effect of increasing the subsidy that aid to Israel provided to US defense contractors, and weakening Israel’s home-grown industry. This made us more dependent and at the same time reduced the competition to American weapons suppliers in the world market. A win-win-win for the US, but a loss for us.
America is changing in ways that are not good for America, and not good for us. I hope that the political/cultural pendulum in the US will swing the other way. Probably it will, if the nation survives the present storm intact. But here on the other side of the world, Israel’s enemies are not waiting with their hands folded. She will either adapt to the new situation or find herself in deep trouble.

L.O.V.E.
Genre: Fluff
Relationship: Clark Kent x Fem!Reader
Requested: Yes by @marshmallows-and-champagne​ (REQUESTS ARE CLOSED)
Word Count: 2.6K
Warnings: Fluff
Description:  Clark Kent has been in love with the reserved rich girl since college.  Ever since meeting you and becoming friends his feelings have grown, and he’s hoping that when he confesses you’ll feel the same about him.
Tumblr media
Clark had known you since college.  The two of you had been paired for a project and from there had become unlikely friends.  He was the farm boy from Smallville, and you were the rich girl from Metropolis.  Complete polar opposites, but there was just something about the two of you that worked.
You weren’t into going wild like most people in college did, instead you preferred to sneak over to Clark’s dorm so that the two of you could watch movies.  Then there were the days when you would go to the coffee shop on campus and just sit quietly and work on whatever projects and homework the two of you had.
Now the two of you were older and still close.  Clark had moved to Metropolis to become a reporter for the Daily Planet and you had gone to work for your family’s company.  Seeing each other had become few and far between with how busy life had gotten for you.  Clark missed the days when you could see each other on a daily basis.
If he were being honest it wasn’t just because he missed hanging out with his friend, it was because he had fallen in love with you.  He wasn’t sure how it had happened, he wasn’t sure when he had even realized he had fallen in love with you.  He just remembered thinking, “I’m in love with her,” and that was that.  
You had no idea about his feelings for you.  There had been a couple of times when Clark had gone to tell you the truth, but had chickened out at the last second.  He was afraid that he wasn’t enough for you.  You had grown up with everything and he was just from Smallville, USA.  What could he give you?
“Clark?”  There was a hand waving in front of his face and he blinked several times realizing that you were sitting in front of him.  “Earth to Clark Kent, anyone home?”  You smiled when you realized he seemed to be coming back to reality.  “Where’d you go, Clark?  You’ve been lost in thought since I got here.”
Clark hadn’t even realized you had arrived for your coffee date with him.  You had rescheduled four times prior, but today you finally had an opening and called to tell him.  “Sorry, I was, uh, just thinking about a story.”
Chuckling you sipped on your drink, “So dedicated to your craft, that’s what I love about you.”
Clark’s heart seemed to have skipped a beat when you said ‘love’.  “Well, I’m not the only one Miss I have to reschedule our coffee date because there’s a meeting today at three and it’s a big one.”
You looked down and tried to hide your embarrassment, “I’m sorry.  Really, the board members were insistent that I needed to be there.  Although I think it could have been put into an email.”
Clark knew what those meetings were like, “In my experience most meetings could be summed up into emails.”
“I think some of the board just likes to hear themselves talk,” you confessed.  “Mr. Moore is always droning on and one, I swear one time I almost fell asleep.”
That wasn’t a surprising fact, you hated it when people droned on and on about things.  He had once nudged you awake in class because the professor had bored you half to death.  “Do you need me to sit in on those meetings and make sure you don’t fall asleep?”
“Would you?”  You said half jokingly and half seriously.  “Plus we could pass notes like a high schoolers.”
Clark shook his head, a wide smile on his face, “Don’t ever change, Y/N/N.”
You smiled shyly at him and changed the subject to see what he had been up to recently.  He told you about his trip to Gotham to see Bruce Wayne for an interview.  You knew Bruce was notoriously private and it was a huge score for Clark to get the interview like that.  He had come a long way since college and you were glad that you had gotten to see that growth.
When your lunch breaks were over, you went your separate ways promising to try again soon.  You hoped that you would have more time to spend with him in the future, and Clark wished the same as he watched you get into your car and drive off.
Two weeks passed since you had seen Clark at the coffee shop.  You were standing out on your balcony with a glass of wine in hand admiring the city below.  Skyscrapers rose high above the ground, cars drove by lazily, their tail lights casting a red glow down the street as lights flashed from green to yellow to red and then back to green again.
This was the first time you had actually made it home at a reasonable hour and got to spend some time to yourself.  You fiddled with you phone wondering if you should call Clark or if he was too busy for you.  Chewing on your lip you opted to text him instead, asking if he was free.
You waited but there was no response and you let out a little sigh.
“Hello,” the voice startled you so much you almost dropped your drink.  Looking up you saw Superman floating in front of your balcony.
“You’re… you’re Superman,” you sputtered.  You had seen images and videos of Superman, but you had never seen him in person before.  “What’re you doing here?”
“I was flying by and you seemed lonely,” he told you, he landed beside you on the balcony and you turned to face him.  “I just thought I would say hello and keep you company for a few minutes.”
Looking at him now up close and in person there was something familiar about him.  “Do you do this often?”  You asked.  “Landing on people’s balconies and saying hello?”
He chuckled sheepishly, “No, I must say I don’t often find myself doing this.”
“Then what’s so special about little old me?  I’m sure there’s plenty of people down there that need you right now,” you told him as you gestured out over the city.
“It’s a slow night,” he told you.  “Plus I look out for the wellbeing of everyone in this city and that includes when people are lonely.”
You moved close to him, your eyes narrowing, “You look familiar….”
Superman seemed to become nervous at that, “I don’t believe we’ve ever met.  I don’t remember you, I’m sorry.”
You searched his face for something that would clue you in on who he was.  Your eyes landed on a little scar on his lip.  It was inconsequential for the most part, but you knew someone with that same scar.  “Clark?”  Your voice came out a little above a whisper.  “Oh my God, Clark is that you?”
Superman’s - Clark’s - eyes widened and you knew you were right.  “I’m sorry, I think you have me mistaken for someone else.  I should go, I just wanted to see if you were all right, and you are, so now I’m going to go.”
He went to leave, but you caught his arm with your hand, “No!” He turned to look at you and saw a look of desperation on your face.  “Is this where you go at night, Clark?  And don’t tell me you’re not him, you have the same scar as him.  And I’d know my best friend anywhere.  So tell me the truth, are you Clark Kent?”
Clark closed his eyes and nodded his head, “It’s me.”
You took a step back and covered your mouth with your hand.  “How did I not know?”
“Well I mean it’s a secret identity for a reason,” he told you.
You frowned at him, “I’m your best friend!  How could you not tell me?!”
He flinched, “Because I was trying to protect you, Y/N.  I didn’t want something bad to happen to you because you knew I was Superman.  I hated keeping the secret from you, but trust me when I say that I did it because I wanted to keep you safe.”
“I know I’m not the most outgoing or spontaneous person, Clark, but I still have a right to know about this part of you.  I can take care of myself.” You crossed your arms over your chest and looked away from him, you were feeling very conflicted at the moment.
Your best friend, the man you had known since college, was Superman.  Clark on the other hand was feeling guilty for having you finding out in this way.  He had wanted to tell you so many times, but his fear had held him back.  Movie toward you, he gently lifted your face so that your gaze met his, and he could see the hurt in your eyes.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered.  “Let me show you something.”
“What?”  You asked curiously.
“Do you trust me?”  He held his breath waiting for the rejection from you, for you to shout that you couldn’t trust him now.  But then you gave a nod of your head and Clark gently lifted you into his arms bridal style.  
“Clark,” you said hesitantly. The two of you were beginning to float off of your balcony and your arms tightened around his neck.  “What’re you doing?”
“It’s okay, nothing bad is going to happen,” he promised.
“If you drop me--”
“I won’t drop you,” he was enjoying this too much, the way you clung to him and your warmth pressed against him.
Together you began flying over Metropolis, seeing it from a bird's eye view.  Your fears slowly melted away as Clark carried you across the city.  You could see everything from the Daily Planet to LexCorp to your own company.  People looked small compared to the towering skyscrapers you were flying between.  The sky was even more spectacular as you looked up, there were a few stars twinkling in the distance, and for a moment you believed you could reach out and touch them.
Your eyes landed on Clark next, he was focused on where he was going that you took this time to study him.  Clark had always been handsome, he had those boy next door looks, and a smile that made your heart flutter.  There had been several occasions where you had come close to asking him on a date, but thoughts of rejection kept you from doing so.  Plus you didn’t want to risk losing your best friend.
Soon Clark was taking you home and setting you down on your balcony once more.  His eyes searching your face to see what you were thinking about.  “What?  Do you have mind reading powers now too?”  You quipped when you caught him studying you.
“No,” he assured you.  “Nothing of the sort, I was just trying to see if you liked it.”
“I did, once I let go of the fear that you were going to drop me,” you poked him in the chest and he laughed.
“I told you I wouldn’t do that, Y/N.  I wouldn’t dream of it.”
There was a soft smile on your face, “I guess this is good night then.”  It was a disappointing that he had to leave, you wanted him to stay, you wanted to spend more time with him.
“I should go,” he said hesitantly.  Clenching his fists at his sides he turned to leave, but paused.  He looked back at you and said, “There is something else that I should confess.”
“Oh?”  What else could there be?  Was he secretly married as well?  God you hoped not.
He walked back to you and he couldn’t quite meet your gaze, he was growing fidgety and you knew whatever this was, was important to him.
“Take your time,” you told him softly.  “We’ve got time.”
“I’m just scared of how you may react,” he finally looked at you and saw the same patient expression on your face you had had on your face when you had come home with him one break and he was trying to explain how farm equipment worked.  It was the look that said you could listen to him talk for as long as he wanted or wait until he worked up what courage he had to tell you what he needed to.
“Clark, I just learned that you’re Superman, anything else will seem like a cakewalk from here on out.”
“Yeah, you did handle it better than I thought you would.”  Taking in a deep breath he gathered his courage and said, “Remember when we were in college and we would go to that coffee shop on campus?”  You nodded your head, you could almost picture and smell the coffee shop he was talking about.  The two of you had spent so much time there that you don’t think you could ever forget it.  “Well it was senior year and you were working on a project.  You had your pen cap in your mouth, and you were so focused on what was in front of you.  And for some reason it was like the world slowed down and it hit me that I was in love with you.”  You sucked in a breath, your eyes widening.  “It came out of nowhere and I’m not even sure when I started developing feelings for you, but it was at that moment I realized that I was.”
“Why did you never tell me?  Why now?”  Could it really be true that the two of you had been in love with one another this entire time, but too afraid to admit it to the other?”
“I just never felt like I should.  You were from this influential family and I was just a small town boy from the middle of nowhere, USA.  I wasn’t ready to take a chance and tell you the truth,” he let out a deep breath.  “But I guess tonight, you learning my secret, and me carrying you across the city made me want to confess this to you.  And you don’t have to like me back or say anything.  I just wanted you to know.”
You looped your arms around Clark’s neck taking him by surprise.  “How is it that we’re both complete idiots that we never realized how the other felt?”
“Well I mean people still haven’t made the connection that I’m Clark Kent and all my disguise is, is a pair of glasses - wait how we both felt?”  His brain finally caught up to the meaning of your words.  “You love me?”
You laughed and rested your head against his chest, “Clark what am I going to do with you?”
He once again lifted your face so that you were looking at him, “Please say it.”
“I love you, Clark Kent,” you whispered to him.
“I love you too,” he whispered back before leaning down and kissing you, it was soft and sweet, and sent shivers down your spine.  No matter how much you had imagined this nothing could compare to actually kissing Clark.  “I still need to go,” he told you when he broke away.
“Okay,” you were only slightly disappointed by this.  “Can we see each other tomorrow night?  We can make dinner.”
“I’d love too,” he kissed you one last time before he began to float away.  “I’ll text you when I get home.”
You waved goodbye as he took off into the air and flew away from your apartment.  You still we’re sure that this had all happened and that you weren’t actually dreaming, but when morning came and Clark checked to see that you were still on for that night you couldn’t wipe the smile off of your face.  
Even the long day of meetings ahead of you couldn’t sour your mood.
