Reminds me of an article I read a year or more ago at this point about a pit mine using a similar EV truck. It would regenerate so much electricity going back down into the mind that the batteries would be pretty much fully recharged.

Edit: Found it:

I’d be more concerned if it had flown away.

Not to worry. They’ll reappear a few months before the next election cycle.

The use of the game controller, Excel, etc. all goes to document a pattern of cutting corners. True, these corners are tiny compared to the issues of the overall design of the sub, but it demonstrates a long pattern of overall behavior.

This reminds me a bit of when I was a juror on a criminal trial. The prosecutor detailed a long string of seemingly small/inconsequential things that ultimately helped demonstrate a long pattern of behavior. That pattern definitely helped with our deliberations.

I think it’s hilarious somebody pointed out that he’s younger than Weird Al.

IANAL, but I believe these laws cover audio recording only. OP shouldn’t have an issue if they use something that records video only.

Think about it a second. I live in a two party consent state, but I see security & surveillance cameras everywhere. If two party consent was required for video then they wouldn’t be there.

Here’s to hoping for such a big win for Harris that the Georgia EV’s are inconsequential.

It needs to be called out just how weird it is that US Senators like this don’t understand the very document they have sworn to uphold.

I’ll slap tariffs on banana imports so people buy domestically grown bananas!

I’ll slap tariffs on cocoa imports so people buy domestically grown cocoa!

Well in the eyes of the GOP you could just tear up the paperwork and walk away at any time, so clearly it doesn’t count.

I’m over 50. I never answer unknown numbers. I also never click on links in text messages from people I don’t know.

Politicians are largely to blame for both. I get so many calls & texts from local, state, and national political candidates begging me for money…

 

This just popped into my head after a similar question came up with a coworker…

Back a few decades ago I worked in Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA. My office window looked out towards another building about 15 feet away, and for some reason our floors were about 8 feet higher than the other building. So we could look down into the offices across the way.

The person in the office I could see into had his desk set up so that his back was to the window and he faced his office door. This gave me and my coworkers a clear view of his computer screen over his shoulder. He played Microsoft solitaire constantly, except when somebody walked in. He would very quickly close it so he wouldn’t get caught.

My coworkers and I actually tried to figure out his phone number, but never did. We wanted to call him up and tell him he should have played the red 9 on the black 10…
