I fear that any victory over flock with make the public complacent to the other players

See, it’s easy. The lyrics that name foreign entities? Those are bad people. The domestic entities and events their country was involved in? Naturally-occurring events that simply happened. Just history.

Someone would have to know she has a dog. Presumably, the dog could be picked up by a family member or friend. The article doesn’t specify what happened.

My little angels

I’m not sure what you mean by “proper” image stabilisation, but they certainly have at least so.me optical stabilisation. The lens slides around. If you turn it on and look at the camera while tilting it, you can see it move a bit inside the cover. It’s minor movement and was much more obvious when I had the outer lens off, but it’s a tiny camera. From experience with how it tracks objects when zoomed, I beleive it also slides around the active pixel region for digital stabilisation, if you will.

It is a clear step above cropping a 16mp sensor to 2mp for zoom

Zoom is better than what it used to be and not outright a lie. I still have a dual camera phone (pixel 7, standard camera and superwide), and the picture is reasonable at 2.5x. It’s a 50mp sensor that, by default, only takes ~16mp pictures by only using certain sensor cells. Zooming uses a tighter group of those cells while still making a 16mp picture. But yes, zoomed pictures absolutely lose quality as the cropping starts hitting the limits of a tiny piece of do-all glass. My phone goes to 8x. Meanwhile, the flagship phones with an additional mild-zoom cameras bump up the baseline further. Still, only equivalent to like 40-50mm on a DSLR full frame sensor. Not enough for me, not for the price, so I still lug my DSLR around occasionally, as my eye tends to prefer framing with my phone above 3x - or about 50-85mm on a crop sensor.

They are not awake near me. They continue to beleive there’s a tangible benefit to safety.

There was a good reason for it, but no one can remember why now. Anyway, car been mow knock side

Damn, that sound spike Inuti/TurboTax making taxes easier, then using all that profit to lobby against anyone making taxes even easier.

The people that’d pay a premium for vanity just don’t get solar panels. The only people I could see going for this are tech bros. There’s lots of huge houses in my area that have regular solar panels. There’s lots of homebuyers here that don’t want to see panels or don’t want panels at all. And then there’s desparate people signing predatory solar panel leases. These tiles don’t fit it anywhere near me. I guess an alternate category would be people who must use a visible roof panel to get decent solar production, but plan to sell in a relatively short term. But still, their best option is inaction, not expensive solar. Especially if your electric supplier caps your output.

disables lane assist presumably by people who changes without signals

No. By people who adapt their lane position to the situation, like cooperatively riding shoulder lines to not be mirror to mirror with a truck in the middle of a desert. By people driving vehicles that can’t consistently pick a lane position. By people who have experienced the camera wrongly identifying a tight dashed line as a solid line and reacted aggressively. By people who have tried to fight lane assist politely, had the vehicle fail to allow it, exerted extra pressure on the wheel than should have been exerted at highway speeds, then had the system suddenly detect the input and relinquish control, jerking the whole car into the line or further. By people who’ve driven a system that picked a lane position based on the lines, came up to an exit lane cutout, had the vehicle glide into the new larger “center” and point off the road, then had the vehicle realize it lost the lines and relinquish control as you suddenly got pointed at the crash barrier, all in under a second (aka the Tesla method, disengage prior to crash, deny responsibility).

I have an older car (not a tesla, either) that has a system that stays disabled when I turn it off and isn’t even a persistent lane assist, but more of an emergency drift correction system. I set it to vibrate the wheel without actually steering.

And I use my turn signals religiously.

USians: much of the rest of the world uses WhatsApp like you use texting because global cell carriers largely still charge per text. Even Mexicans are still buying data cards to fill the gaps between wifi hotspots.

Not OC, but I’ll sometimes take 2 a day in the summer. I’m pretty oily. Showering in the morning is fine for my skin feelings through the day, but it means I’m oiliest overnight and my sheets will show it. If I shower before bed, I end up feeling uncomfortably greasy by dinner the next day. So, two showers keeps me feeling acceptable. Summers typically hover around 30C and 60%+ humidity for two months, on top of additional outdoor activities.

Or, I guess, shortest alternative answer, I know several people that shower right after morning exercise and are otherwise night showerers.

Yes. Donut, of Donut Media, the car-focused entertainment group partnered with this project.

Car enthusiasts seem to get away with alternate plates around me. Sometimes plates from the manufacturer country, sometimes decorative plates resembling the local jurisdiction but being the car’s name or year/model. Either there’s nothing specifically against additional plates that are clearly “novelty” items or my local police just don’t care. Now, if they’re legitimate government-made plates, I’d bet you’d run into issues.

I’m sure you could add something that expands your plate info, but I can’t see a solution that keeps your true plate visible (to avoid direct police activity) without also keeping your actual plate number as part of the character string associated with your vehicle. I do recall reflective letters being sold at one point to defeat standard speed/light cameras (plate is reflective by default, characters are not). But, still, with all the extra details the system logs with y/m/m/c, stickers, attachments, and damage, I regrettably don’t see this being especially effective. But, I suppose, it has a chance to keep your unique vehicle unassociated with government records… For now.

Orating tongue-twisters

There’s no clear origin to the name. Both tales on Wikipedia refer to using a screwdriver to stir the drink at work.

Maybe I have bad digital attention span but whether it’s educational books or documents at work, I’m much better at retaining and locating information in paper. The physical register of the document location, location of information within the document, and location on the page gives me a fuller memory of the info.
