trebuchet would leave more evidence

less mobile than drones which can swarm in from, potentially, all directions.

also i don't think you can buy trebuchets from hundreds of stores ready to operate out of a convenient little box

furthermore once the trebuchet has fired and you have to get away, it will take quite some time to pick it up, pack it, and depart.

oh dear oh no what if there were hundreds of drones piloted by hundreds of people wouldn't that be just awful

WB sure would deserve it if, for instance, a hail of bricks came falling randomly out of the blue at terminal velocity to pummel all of their fancy cars to shit where they were parked at their lot.

Be sure to never ever fly a remote control drone anywhere near a premises owned by WB, kids. Wouldn't want to be implicated with a completely blameless karmic act of the gods.

Bear in mind I am specifically saying nobody SHOULD do this.

But I would find it very funny if it happened anyway :3

It's called working at a towing company, and I already have. I know what those "roadside assistance" firms do from the inside, because we're the ones who actually do the work when they call, and most of them are trash; you could just skip the middle man and call us directly, but the good ones actually pay decently and are more likely to get our help. Prices become better for individuals when they act as a group who collectively pool resources to subsidize cost on the basis that having a lifeline to fall back on when you don't need one is better than not having one when you do need one. Technically any handful of people can found a private social club that they all pay ten bucks a month into but don't always use, and such a club's warchest will snowball to thousands of dollars while no one is looking. Then when suddenly one person is in trouble, the club swoops in and eats the cost. Socialization of risk. Mutual aid. Wish more people did that.

And anyone who would pay that much for a car is a gullible fool who doesn't deserve to keep their money anyway, so that tracks, yeah. What a fucking waste.

Indeed; what we need is a jailbreak and a way to operate these systems on our own independent or third party / aftermarket resources. In a REAL competitive market, someone else could set up a server and offer to run these applications (or others!) for a different price. Not that I'm even particularly fond of capitalism myself nor how vulnerable it makes your car to turn it into an IOT device.

This WILL be hacked though, eventually.

there's something incredibly satisfyingly ironic about using a vpn to cancel your vpn

then again, this is a a loop-shaped calzone... topologically, a torus. the chart doesn't even have an entry for that, but i'm ok with provisionally classifying it as a calzone
