What's RTO?

So, is Asperger's Syndrome back in?

The crash trucks our state uses have a rack of plastic water barrels on the back. The dope hitting it stands a better chance of survival. As does the crash truck driver. And for long distance travel between job sites, much easier to lighten the load and save guzzoline.

Instead of stupid gull wing doors someone should do a vehicle with front and rear left and right side sliding doors. It would be a good match for a skateboard design.

It is this only because they won't eliminate the contribution cap. That would keep it funded for decades and give us plenty of time to come up with something better.

You're supposed to raise your kids to want to take care of you. Sounds like you either got different treatment, or tolerate more abuse.

I've had to figure it out on my own for the most part anyway because my parents were so terrible at parenting. My father did teach me one valuable lesson, pay attention, but as he frequently did it with his hand I didn't grow up with a lot of affection for him.

It's complete shit. I have a couple of favorite questions I ask search engines, LLMs and whatnot. None of them get the answer right. Based upon incorrect references to more recent sources. Nothing existed before Google started scraping the Internet. Even if the on-line source references the correct source. The LLM can't figure that out.

Train your LLM on Dad jokes?

... DARPA, in all its wisdom, envisioned a network that could route around damage.

The TV news carried this story, along with an aerial view of the "construction site". In addition, I drilled down through TFA and found the site: A United Rentals parking lot. Which agreed with the TV news: Three cranes parked side by side, raised to full height.The man-lift type crane.

I'm not sure what the FAA regs say about leaving these things parked and raised up like that. On the other hand, I'm not sure if the Amazon site qualifies for any special air rights as would a cargo airport or heliport.

I'm not interested in educating people on the left. It's a lost cause.

Yep sorry. I should stop trying to type on an ipad in bed!
The title should be Trying since 2003, and power obviously should be uW!
Oh slashdot, the ability to edit posts in 2025.

Walmart's been trying to get suppliers to RFID stuff since their 2003 RFID mandate, which demanded suppliers tag pallets and cases by 2005, but s pretty much failed out of the gate due to exorbitant tag costs, unreliable technology, and supplier pushback, resulting in only partial compliance and a scaled-back approach by 2006. They really pushed for UHF EPC backscatter tag standardisation. But UHF is PITA. It can reflect off surfaces, not penetrate to cartons inside pallets with metal and water.

But.. they keep persisting. Interesting to they are trying BT now. Apparently the wiling tags scavenge RF to power their BT transceivers.

Here’s an AI summary.

Walmart’s battery-free Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tags, like Wiliot’s pixels, harvest ambient RF energy (e.g., from Wi-Fi or RFID readers) using a small antenna and efficient rectifier, capturing 2.5-50 W in retail environments to charge a capacitor for brief BLE transmissions that consume ~9 J per packet. Ultra-low-power chips with duty cycling and simplified protocols enable 3-5 mA bursts lasting milliseconds, broadcasting minimal data (e.g., ID or location) over 1-10 meters every few seconds, with Walmart’s strategic placement of BLE gateways and RFID readers ensuring sufficient RF energy for reliable operation in stores and distribution centers.

Hillary Care predates Google. But I'm sure you can find some citations in AltaVista.

Fringe kook Hillary. That explains the 2016 election outcome.
