Most retail stores and restaurants already have cameras everywhere. I had a boss who would sit at home watching the feed and then call the store to yell at us when he thought we were burning sandwiches.

There’s still the issue of birds, which do not like these things in their airspace and, depending on the size, will absolutely either attack drones or be maimed by them. Also, helicopters and small planes often fly quite low. We haven’t had a great record with autonomous cars, but sure, let’s try autonomous flying drones. What could go wrong?
Bury your power lines, people!
(And by people I mean city utilites. Do not attempt to do that yourself, lol.)
Seems like the airline could have just… not over served him and none of this would have happened.
Edit: yeah it sounds like over serving alcohol may be a recurring problem for this airline:
“It said it bans between five and 10 customers each month for disruptive behavior, including intoxication.”
Plants and animals tend to have problems when they ingest too much salt, so it might be ok as long as they’re only going to spray this stuff over the oceans… As far as actually changing the climate too much, I doubt this method would really be capable of that.
I think a less invasive and probably cheaper-in-the-long-run option would be to make some kind of durable lightweight shades, launch them into orbit like satellites, and move them around remotely as needed.
I started a free trial of Adobe stock. I forgot to cancel after the first month. They charged me $30 for the next month, ok, that’s on me. But when I tried to cancel during that second month, they said I had signed a contract to pay them for a year (I didn’t, all I did was sign up for the free trial) and I now owe them $165 to cancel the subscription. So in essence they were going to charge me $195 for one month of Adobe stock. That’s insane.
software latches onto existing installations, which can include government-owned surveillance cameras as well as privately owned cameras at businesses and homes.
How can that be legal, or even possible? If you and your partner film yourself in the bedroom, I guess they’re gonna tap into that too?
The thing is, whether or not an agent is a member of NAR, commissions have always been negotiable (maybe the real problem is that sellers don’t know this and don’t try to haggle). Agents could always choose to take less commission if they wanted to. But would you voluntarily take lower pay for no particular reason?
This “agents can now charge less in commissions” is BS because they always could. It changes nothing.
An enormous chunk of housing sits unused and empty because real estate speculators want to rent them out at exorbitant prices rather than use it for it’s intended purpose of having a roof over people’s heads.
If they are renting it out at exorbitant prices, then it’s not empty. If it’s empty, then they get zero money. You’re saying it’s both, which makes no sense. Interest rates and property taxes are both high right now. It costs investors money to hold empty property without renting it out. They don’t have to wait for people to pay inflated prices. The demand is already there.
I’m all for more regulation, especially for developers and investors. Stiupulate that at least 50% of all new housing built be affordable. Give incentives to rehab old condemned properties. And stop letting AI algorithms determine rental prices.
When I looked it said 13.9 million. But how many of those are habitable? Does that number include Airbnbs? Properties stuck in probate or the foreclosure process? How many of them are in senior communities that don’t allow younger people or families? The census data doesn’t specify any of that.
Because there isn’t enough housing that already exists.
There’s got to be a better way than sinking to their level.
Fun fact, back in the 80s, cigarette companies owned most of the food production companies. They are responsible for creating most of the addictive natural and artificial flavorings. When they got slapped for making cigarettes addictive, they quickly sold off all their food holdings because they didn’t want to be held financially responsible for making those addictive too.
I just asked Wombo Dream to make the Mona Lisa and it did. Sure, you can tell it’s not exactly the real thing, but I don’t know how you can say it didn’t copy any of the actual Mona Lisa original.
I’m even getting Google Drive spam now. Complete randos “sharing files” with me. There’s no way to prevent it.
So if I walked into a restaurant that specialized in a certain cuisine (choosing the right one out of hundreds is a skill, right?) and wrote down a list of ingredients, and the restaurant made me a meal with those ingredients according to however the restaurant functions (nobody can see into the kitchen, after all), does this make me a chef?
