I just had a baby and I’m already planning how to get her to help me run my home lab as a way to get her to figure all this stuff out, maybe run some game servers or do a little local blog. Then I think about how I can teach her to solder a hand wired keyboard or maybe build a little fpv drone with me and then I start to remember that kids sometimes just don’t like what you do so you never know what you could get them interested in or not or if you will each have the time when they’re older

There are laws that prevent the theft of someone’s catalytic converter as well

Why, just because they’re a different species?! /s

Yeah they’re legit, these are little fruit stands next to all the farm area, they reel you in with the avocados but make you buy other fruits lole cherries or strawberries, at the store avocados usually cost about a dollar each

Yeah usually it’s about 10 for a dollar with purchase* but this time one stand had 40 for a dollar and then we saw the 25 for free

Sadly you could still do this today and charge insurance in the US as long as people don’t care you’re charging their insurance.

oh that radiation detection would be really interesting

it was on a street light after an intersection, in California. from the comments it would make sense to be for traffic control. My original thought was a gunshot detector since I remember hearing they installed them in the city but doesnt seem that this is it

I remember the truck driver at a previous place I worked at told me this happened to him once because the people that loaded his trailer didn’t strap anything down so when he went onto an off ramp everything shifted and tipped him over

The farm

He has become a battery for AI

It does that on highways with cyclist too

I mean honestly yeah after working multiple jobs for years I had to wake up around 4 to be able to get off work around 2 to make it to my second job at 3 now even though I have a single job I still get up at 4 it’s just ingrained at this point, thr benefit is I still get off at 230 and if people want me to stay past that at least it’s over time pay

TIL the little orphan has an evil sister

Whoa you found all my alts

Translate what my supervisor told another teams director because they don’t know how to communicate like people so us lowly workers have to go around them constantly to be able to ship things in a timely manner

The bad guy is the dude who made a hole

It’s not that they shouldn’t be correct it’s that people are expected to do the job of multiple people with limited budgets so they contract their work out to services or don’t take the time to double check stuff.

When I worked with the marketing people ot was a team of 3 that had to cover the US mexico and Canada, so they would have people on retainer to make things like art or text for a lot of the stuff, but I can see how they could use a service that used ai for those things

Look at what happened with Wacom, so I just see this kind of cost cutting is appealing to businesses that want to cut costs at the expense of quality

Again I’m not saying it’s good but there is demand for this stuff as shitty as it is
