I'm curious what's going to happen when there's thousands of these radars on every street, driving around picking up thousands of stray signals.

Hopefully the DSPs will be able to pick their coded signal out of the noise in time to make use of it.

Has anyone seen any research into this area?

Gasoline has a higher K value (BTUs/lb) but it also has a higher stoichiometric (Air/Fuel) rato.
So you run the lower K value fuel at 10:1 AFR (lower MPG but more HP) or the higher K value fuel at 14:1 (higher MPG but less HP) all that really matters is the 10:14 ratio because it directly relates to how much power you can make with the available oxygen in the cylinder.
That 10/14 ratio of the two fuels when multiplied by the specific K value for that fuel will determine which combination will provide more output.

You should see some of the pilots that fly for magazine photo shoots with offshore performance boats.

They would fly 150+ MPH backwards and go under bridges right above the deck of the boat. If the bridge was too low, they'd go over it at the last second, and be right back down on the other side.

They would circle around you, always keeping the camera people pointed at the boat, spinning around rapidly.

It's nerve wracking trying to drive the boat when they're that close, but you can see the pilot, and he's having fun.

My friends have an autistic son, the things he says to women, especially women that are friends of his parents and therefore in his circle, would haunt you, especially if you have a daughter!

Why don't you wear that white bikini that I can see your nipples in anymore?

Should we cancel everyone with a mental disability because they make us uncomfortable with their limited grasp of social norms, or an unwillingness or inability to act like the rest of us?

I worked for a guy who's wife was an experimental brain surgeon at a very prestigious University hospital, and if your didn't know that, based on your first impression, you probably wouldn't feel comfortable having her clip your toenails!

Incredibly smart though, and very tenacious when she needed to be!

That is the huuuge problem with letting this virus spread uncontrolled..

By the time we think we have this under control, covid-19, or more likely covid-21, will show us just how crafty it can be given a few hundred million more opportunities to fine tune it's attack against the human body, and our attempts at a vaccine.

One of the places I work at has their production tracking dashboards running on FireTV sticks plugged into cheap TVs.

Thru load the screens into a photo album to display them.

I'm sure you could do similar with a bit of clever setup. Put your photos on folders, and have Alexa display them to the FireTV sticks.
