    The official "WTF" thread

    Heck, I have a box of ice creams bars that I was thinking of returning to Costco. The reason: It's empty.

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    My thinking has been to disconnect the wire to the antenna. Won't work of course if you want to use other "connected" services. A widespread problem with Subarus is that the telematics module is powered constantly, eventually leading to a dead battery. There's a fuse box hack to power it only...

    All you people saying that there are economy problems need to go to re-education camp. This is all from the Internet, therefore it's true.

    2nd Amendment thread

    Seems to me that the "no weapons" policy is selectively enforced. I bet there are a lot of knives carried in the cars that waymo never takes any action over. If there's enough legal action, they might have to require riding naked.

    What the Flock is going on here!

    Let me rephrase. I don't see how the size of the solar panel(s) I see in the flock camera pictures can provide enough energy to keep a camera with all of the claimed capabilities running 24 hours a day. Solar production on winter days is pretty low, plus in some locations full overcast can...

    What the Flock is going on here!

    On one hand I'm not surprised. On the other hand I wonder how the camera can do all of this powered by a solar panel that isn't all that big.

    If the AI is as good as some reports indicate, won't it be able to disable any kill switch? https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/9917/text

    The official "WTF" thread

    I'm way too big a chicken to do anything like that. I have a little tractor and won't even reach under the raised bucket for a couple of seconds, out of fear that it could fall on its own.

    That would be pretty darned difficult IMO.

    ^^^^^ Not dumping on this video specifically, rather all of the media and social media reporting. In the first 6 seconds of the video, he says the car pulled itself over, and nobody told it to do that. At 0:58 it says the company pulled the car over, at at 1:49 it says the company detected the...

    If the Kennedy Center well being was the priority, he wouldn't care about adding his name. I foresee a big reversal of this nonsense one somebody else is in power.

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    I'm guessing that well under half of the social media posts are either outright false or designed to lead the reader to a false conclusion. Sometimes a post with picture or video of something like a huge demonstration or destruction gets busted by somebody showing the photo or video is from a...

    Camera to stream basketball games at church

    I have a 180 degree camera looking out over a mostly open field. IMO it would be a horrible choice to cover a basketball court. Everything in the middle would be pretty big, then teeny at the ends (assuming it would be mounted mid-court). Plus, the edges would waste a lot of pixels on things...

    Things my spouse or partner does that drives me nuts!

    If I used acetone in the house every window would be open regardless of the outside temp, and I might be on the outside looking in.

    Money & Economics

    "Businesses only get taxed on profit after expenses. Revenue minus costs." Not true in Oregon. The state Corporate Activity Tax of about 0.6% is based solely on revenue with no regard to profit or loss. After it went into effect a lot of smaller pharmacies folded. Some businesses charge it...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    The social media BS occasionally gets busted. But when it's called out on social media, you're once again left with the dilemma of what to believe.

    Another aspect is protection of your information. With what I've seen myself, the companies say they'll not sell your personally identifiable information and keep it safe and secure. In some cases it's a flat out lie, in other cases another company down the line is able to associate the...

    Another tracking without a warrant mechanism. According to this video, almost all smartphone users are individually location tracked 24x7. Makes me glad I use mine only for phone calls, texts, and hotspot. And not very often for any of them
