  • Lol where do you draw the line here?

    You might as well argue that it's tacky to wear clothing with colors and designs, like a specific genre of music, like certain genres of movies, like certain jokes, food, hairstyles, etc. All of these things are 'symbols' that reference you.

  • It's not the same combination used multiple times it's a similar combination from different states. Can you describe what the actual issue is here if you're not a Flock camera? How often have you personally confused plates from two different vehicles?

    In this case it was Flock cameras not reading the entire plate and omitting two numbers from it. If you're really that concerned about plates getting mixed up, you should also be demanding that no two plates share similar numbers even when omitting some of the numbers from the sequence.

  • Yeah I meant a terrible defense for the driver. "It's not my fault the car crashed into a house. I was sitting in the driver's seat unconscious!"

  • What an awful defense to what happened.

  • I use PolyTerra Army Blue for all my Navy Blue needs. Technically it's a matte filament but I honestly can't tell.

    Edit: PolyTerra (made by Polymaker) is now called "Panchroma matte" for some terrible reason

  • I have an LG C3 OLED from Costco and its easily the best TV I've ever had and got it for pretty cheap. Not sure if they make it in a smaller size than 55" though.

    It does have smart slop integrated into it, but I blacklisted all the LG domains on my home router and haven't been nagged by any of this stuff since.

  • I just saw a video from a local news channel about a different patch of land in Georgia where Georgia Power was given an easement across a bunch of people's land, essentially cutting these people's property in half, then they clear cut the forest at the back of their properties and installed some giant transmission line towers also to power datacenters. One young couple interviewed had just bought their property and were planning on using the land to grow food but now they can't and they also can't sell because only half their property is usable despite them having paid for the entire plot.

  • I want to hate the guy for his music too, but he seems like a stand up guy from what I've seen so articles like this (or when he had an online poll for where to have a concert and the internet picked Alaska but he still went).

  • Why is ABC trying to keep Flock's name out of the headline?

  • IANAL but states are often given sovereign immunity in court, so I would guess the lawsuit wouldn't get very far unless they allow you to sue them in the first place

  • I recently saw a mobile mechanic who uses an old ambulance as his repair rig with "EMS" (I'm assuming Emergency Mechanic Service) on the side. I thought it was really creative and a great rig to store and haul tools and equipment.

  • Agreed. I think there are tons of businesses people have never heard of because they serve a specific niche and aren't public facing or household names. I don't think its easy to launch a successful business but it wasn't easy in the past either amd we don't remember all the companies that didn't make it.

    Regarding 'honesty,' that probably depends on the market and what your competitors are willing to do. Its probably a lot easier to run an honest local restaurant than some international finance firm. You'll probably need to sacrifice your integrity to reach those higher echelons because everyone else there was already willing to do the same.

  • I didnt know they had cameras now, but they've made smart home IoT devices like switches and sensors for years now.

  • the AI Safety Measures Act creates a framework that will require the “developers of the largest advanced AI systems” (read: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) to provide public disclosures as to their safety practices, report any significant safety incidents, and remain in line with a set of compliance processes. It also creates a channel for whistleblowers working inside AI labs to safely and securely relay any safety concerns they might have without fear of repercussions.

    Whoa this sounds pretty serious. It asks these companies to self report safety incidents and creates a "channel" for whistleblowers.

    That's some serious hammer dropping. 🙄

    OpenAI and Anthropic both endorsed the bill as it moved through the legislature

    Of course they did because this is just the Democratic version of what Republicans do with regulatory capture. They just like to dress their version up with a facade of "consumer protections" when the law doesn't actually protect anyone or improve anything.

  • Technically correct because we haven't solved for x yet.

  • I can see your bookcases sweating from here.

  • Yeah I would get them out immediately and not be nice about it to scare them from doing it again.

  • Unless the DNC decides not to have a primary like we saw with Biden in '24 or use their wealth and power to crush progressive candidates like they tried to do in the NYC mayoral election. You're dangerously naive if you think that the issue with these people holding us under their thumb is that they don't have enough support from us.

    You're the accelerationist here because you're the one demanding we turn our brains off and support the status quo and let them do as they wish. You're being played like a fiddle.

  • You wanna talk about propaganda? How about your assertion that the Democratic party is the only thing standing between us and the destruction of the nation when we can all see with our own eyes that they are more than happy to help push forth Trump's agenda. You sound like a MAGA Republican who drank too much koolaid.
