Especially when they die after 2 years. Bought 3 G4 Pros direct from Ubiquiti and two are dead. Apparently it's just the POE daughterboard but my RMA requests were rejected due to being out of warranty. My cheap Lorex cameras have been running for 8 years now.
you can build the largest reservoir in the world, but if water consumption and evaporation exceed precipitation in the watershed you're on borrowed time.
clearly we need a social credit system where citizens are scored based on their financial history, trustworthiness, charitable efforts, and praising the government on social media.
I agree with you regarding lax enforcement, especially in the last few years. But this is also cultural. We have the technology to enforce traffic laws via sensors but even then they are implemented they are often removed by the next local election or blown to bits with buckshot.
My state has targets for acceptable rates of annual pedestrian deaths when designing intersections. I find the fact that we elect to sacrifice lives in order to bump up vehicles-per-hour stats rather disturbing. Again nothing new but helps explain why the US is an outlier.
While this driver appears to be facing homicide by vehicle charges in addition to fleeing the scene, it is very common in the US for a driver to kill a pedestrian and face no criminal charges or loss of driving privileges as long as they stop and dial 911. While out walking I often think of a quote from a Freakomomics podcast that goes something like 'the best way to get away will killing someone in the US is to hit them with your car'.
The high rate of pedestrian deaths is a result of policy regarding road design, pedestrian infrastructure and lenient criminal charges. The driving culture is also to blame. Driving is a god given right. Cars equal freedom, and the bigger the better. Pedestrians are a nuisance and cyclists are the enemy.
Vehicles sold now are too fast for their intended purpose. You can buy a Toyota Camry with 300 HP and a 0-60 time of 5.1 seconds. Twenty years ago that was Porsche 911 territory. The upcoming Hummer EV touts a 3.0 second 0-60 and weighs in at 9000 lbs. Insane
reduced social interaction in a suburban setting could simultaneously explain both the psychological harm to young men and the elevated 'way worse' things in cities.
Would these groups still choose to share a kitchen, bathrooms, etc if they could find co-located, individual units at a similar, affordable price? I doubt it.
If you're already overweight you should combine control of calorie intake with exercise. The only way fat leaves the body (besides surgery) is by exhaling it as CO2
Sadly the active radar sensor on the pictured SMAP satellite failed shortly after launch [0]. I've been looking for news on NASA's NIAC Phase 2 R-MXAS studies which, while it looks like it would require some serious material science breakthroughs, could provide near-continuous soil moisture data over an entire continent which suddenly seems even more useful [1].
I find it curious that the 'climate change industry' is a powerful, unwavering monolith in your mind and yet you don't mention the petroleum industry's deep pockets and incentives to maintain the status quo.
I got a degree in climate science but took a job writing code because the pay was terrible unless and until you become a professor. My chemical engineer buddy went to work at Exxon Mobile and started with a salary 4x greater than my best climate science related offer.
