The beer uses bread that's so stale that even the local food bank can't give it away, but hasn't gone bad. $1 per bottle is donated to that local food bank.

Quote:In the meantime, [a commercial photographer, himself a drone pilot, named] Moss urges residents not to shoot down the drones, as they are highly flammable.
"It becomes a self-generating fire that burns until it burns itself out," he told The [Denver] Post. "If you shoot a drone down over your house and it lands on your house, you might not have a house in 45 minutes."

Quote:“The group is not going to discuss the details of its inner workings, and is not planning to provide incremental updates on its activities,” Ian Gregor, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson based in Los Angeles, told The Daily Beast. “But we will inform the public about any important developments.”

Sometimes, the photos are "a bit naughty" or sexually explicit, but Miller said, for the most part, family members are excited to see them and rarely ask for those to be withheld in their final package of images. He noted the company is intensely private the images they process, so they can't accidentally be leaked.

Because regular film processing labs, which are increasingly rare, don't always have the right chemicals or materials to process those rolls of undeveloped film, this business 70 kilometres east of Regina, fills that niche.
