Cut and post from an e-mail. XXXXX are my edits. Facial recognition technology is error-prone, racially-biased, and dangerous. But opportunistic tech companies are chomping at the bit to sell this technology to schools in New York. Now, State Education Commissioner Betty Rosa will soon decide...

I kind of like this idea. As I understand the article the drone will be used after a complaint is filed. Instead of a two person squad car being tied up to investigate a drone makes a quick pass and then a decision can be made to use human assets. They are not talking about small family...

I should have mentioned. The old guy is my little brother. The kid is the grand daughter that I am raising. We went to North Carolina for a few day's visit. The kid loved the 67 vette but was really impressed with the 0 to OMG of the Mustang GT. The man has done very well and spends his money...

Sometimes the old geezer in a 'vette' is just an uncle giving his grand-niece a cool ride around town.

And is it up to you to decide what is best for humanity or is it up to a committee ? Of course training people to kill another human for the sake of his/her government has always been a great educator. Many never fully recover from pulling that trigger. Glad it worked for you.

“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents...

Cool non-lineal

It is with deep grief that I must say our beloved LYLA is gone. Her health degraded quickly in the past couple of months. While the granddaughter wanted to hold out and pray for the best I had to convince her that we have to do what is best for the dog. She was tripping going up and down...

I fear that for many it is like asking a very young child how a light works. You flip the switch and the light works. Power stations, transfer lines, fuse box, etc are unknown. For some new tractor owners it may be the same thing You turn the key and the tractor starts. The hows and whys are...

Brought back a fond memory. We had a mid-level manager take a water glass, put it in the creek at our effluent pipe and drink the whole 12 ounces in front of local eviro groups and the press, He was 100 percent confident in our technology and analysis. We knew that our effluent was "cleaner"...

Good luck. After decades of acronyms the only one that seem to be consistent are FUBAR and WTF. Everything else is site / job specific. Early years I ran an AA but the wife really though I needed the other AA.

My kids watched us blanch hundreds of ears of corn and store them for fresh tasting corn all winter and mom canning tomato sauce (gravy) when the vines were full. They even went into great grandma's root cellar and tried to understand why. Only took a generation or two before they had less time...

And then there are some of us with maturity and a lifetime of experiences to know to avoid people with such attitudes. My dependency on the government is what I earned and paid into with a long career and taxes paid. The ss check is far less than my investment income. I am sure the feds have...

Under my property is nothing but shale . Finding water is tough enough. Now, if Metro-North opens the commuter rail line to Red hook or Germantown, yippie, my property goes way up. A straight run to NYC and low taxes. Of course the area will go to heck in a hand basket but I will be GONE.

Wow ! Going full tinfoil hat on this !

Interesting read on Maui wetlands and watersheds. https://www.mauicounty.gov/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/26581#:~:text=Maui%20consists%20of%20two%20large-scale%20watersheds%3A%20West%20Maui,and%20rivers%20varying%20in%20size%2C%20flow%2C%20and%20connectivity. I can not see out running a fire...

An ACTIVE volcano is any volcano that has had eruption in the past 10,000 years.

Description of State’s Wetlands Hawaii’s wetlands include riverine wetlands, palustrine wetlands (marshes and bogs – including rare montane bogs), estuarine wetlands (swamps and mudflats), and marine wetlands (intertidal shorelines, seagrass beds, and tidepools). Hawaii is also host to...

NO. This is what happens when you pave over your wetlands or fill them in for housing. The bring in invasive (pretty) species that dry into a fire enhancer. Add in housing and vacation hotels built very close to each other. Fire and high winds have been around much longer than the developers...

Nah, when the earth decides it is time for the humans to go we will all be gone.
