Some Legends says Simon lives in his Studio and if you ever go meet him you can't leave his studio you will become a part of his studio.

Would love a 1h video of Simon just calling most countries in the world that they are shit.

Just incase someone else was also wondering what does "male drone" mean, it's medium altitude, long endurance".

Canada isn't on the list? What about our geese? They can fly in V formation and regularly attack non-combatants autonomously. Does that count for nothing?

People talk about Simon but imagine his editors

Turkish company Baykar accounts for 60% of the global drone market — this is not just an export success, it’s a global dominance story!

This was a really good one and shout out to everyone who took part in making this beast of a video. It was some Ken Burns type of time there. But, I learned quite a bit.
