Orchestras on every corner playing ‘ode to joy’.

it uploads data

… So. To the internet?

simple to do on device

Image recognition is not computationally cheap. There are more and less expensive ways to do it, but the absolute floor of it turns your phone into a hot plate. So whatever’s in there would need to be at least a phone chip.

someone needs to check

So it is kept and stored.

pre all-this-shit

Red light/speed cams, triggered on motion sensor boolean when light red or radar speed reading>x.

You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, which is fine, but why are you speaking confidently and assuming such good will about proven constant brazen liars saying they’re not doing the shit they literally always do?

and don’t store/index footage otherwise

How do they manage that, with the current surveillance regime? Is all the image processing on device? What’s it sampling against? How does it send the tickets? One-way infrared flashes?

Find a flock employee and place its favorite pet around its house.

if everything else about it weren’t a nightmare shit show

Do you mean worker owned? Because that’s better than union and what you get if you start from scratch.

The correct answer is write one that benefits you and say “well I would like if you used this one, but it seems like it would be very silly of you to do that. You should get one from your legal department if you want one that benefits you.”.

The thing is: that’s my favorite part about it. I’m sitting at a keyboard for five hours, then I spend a week building shit with my hands-not low level building shit, but still fun, then I’m talking to grandma doing troubleshooting.

If everything else about it weren’t a nightmare shit show where you’re the devil if someone else fucks up in a year, I’d be very happy in that kind of career.

My poibt is its a good demonstration case.

Bad example, maybe.

Clearly it does.

astonishing

No, its pretty in character.

And? Its new information for future construction, highlights the importance of doing this along with any repairs or new builds where you’re doing some of that work anyway.

Confirms the energy is there.

And its literally on a damn, so storing excess with pumped hydro is can be done with like 0 transmission inefficiency.

Thanks for your opinion, mark.

But also his name looks the same in sans serif fonts and he is a parody guy. So there are ways he could get away with it.

I’m saying he could either get away with selling his soul and not damage his rep too much, or go down to that crossroads, pull out his accordian, and potentially be the last man standing (on another pile of money)

they have RAM

Wait what?

Just breaking them off sounds cheaper, more comprehensive, and more in line with demands.

Trash bags feel too much like natural gas was for going green.

Just wear spectrum-matched eye protection, please.

I was traveling across the us without a car about a year ago. Long story. Was stranded, pulling a long night til the next bus instead of sleeping rough. Only place to get fluids nearby was a McDonalds.

It was painfully expensive, and genuinely felt like I was being fucked with and screwed over when I ordered. I just wanted a cup full of caffeinated sugar-water and someplace warm to sit. It sucked so fucking much. It was fucking unpleasant. Eventually I hydrated, pissed, and just left to wait outside for the last few hours.

I looked through food. I couldn’t justify paying those prices for that shit. It genuinely didn’t seem like food prices. I couldn’t. The next day I found a more reasonably priced 7/11.

There are things the majority of Americans want and have no option to vote for. Have wanted for years.

I don’t like Americans.

I do not think Americans would make good or compassionate decisions.

But the american people simply are not in control here. The entire electoral system is built to keep them away from power.
