Lasers need a honking big power supply, think 20ft container size. Capacitors to drive it are juicy on radars, and the emf spike is triangulated. Overdriven lasers, wear out. There is a lifetime, and it is not huge, maybe a low as 100 shots. Weather and rain. 5km range, but 1 km would be more like it. Drones and glide bombs are SO cost effective in wiping out both tanks and container sized trucks. So basically expensive kit, restricted use. Probably best to guard Patriot like million bucks a pop systems. Best bang for buck is getting out of war and into peace.

I get some of this. But people who have visited before and caused no problems and say retired. it should be about risk management. There should be certainty before arrival. Tourists bring in money and jobs. Some say these new rules are hurting the genuine tourist biz. Better to remove guesswork out out the equation.

Subway and Macdonalds have made the board food prices smaller in size (the food as well). If I cannot see the price, I walk. I will get some transfer stickers printed, If the food is not in legal serving temperature range, please return it to the counter for exchange. I have an IR thermometer and use it.

Australian Restaurants pay $32 hr plus weekend and public holiday surcharges, and overtime. And put 12% into our superannuation guarantee. For some time, menus are often loaded with weekend and public holiday surcharges. Nothing is cheap, so a no to tipping, and I would report the restaurant on the spot if they did any ambush tricks. Now about who IS paid below average is service station telllers, and most salad bars. Franchisee owners #1 problem is rapacious rents and rent increases, not wages. Staff not turning up without notice, is perhaps #2, with insurances and utilities up there. Like America , Macdonalds sales here, are down 6-7% across the board, despite 30%PA increases on some items. A number of food places are now closed on Mondays.

Good point. Because of all the obese people, radiology tests are up. Knee jobs, Because women are delaying childbirth, more breast cancer detections, as well as men's enlarged prostates. there are a number of foreign countries that have affordable imagery, including India and Brazil.

Yet motorcycles have not been banned and the acceleration for a brand new rider is crazy. Yet a teeny car they want banned. where is the logic? And in Japan they have accident statistics over 40 years that prove them to be just as safe as other vehicles. There should be no problem for local driving. but not on highways where people do over 60. An electric merge engine might correct rude American drivers set on preventing orderly merges.

If there were AI trials on our emergency 3 digit line we would not be told. We do know the interim failures, false positives and false negative on the facebook age test was falsified for political reasons and had to go live to prove some idiots groupthink 'AI will do it'. For immigration and medical registration, AI is used, and has lots of flaws. Many times you can be switched to an unattended police station, which is more common than you think in Australia. It is also insulting to call say bank telephone lines 'AI' when they have simple keyword direction to other menu levels. While the accuracy of customs arrival autogates has improved, verifiable metrics seem hard to come by. Ambulance calls seem the best handled, but like the UK there is too much ambulance ramping.

It is fact that YouTuble has taken down a number of widows10 /11 howto videos to bypass local accounts or iot long term license conversions. Rob Braxman has some easy intros into the new Privacy intrusions. I also recall that run in legacy mode was removed.

Agree, they have tucked the Harry Miller won appeal behind by word salad. Also the is a code of conduct where your lawyer or solicitor cannot ask questions or represent you fully by subpoenaing ALL the evidence, and full discovery is limited. That is code for saying you will NOT receive a fair trial. If you live in the UK please visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... so you can decide who NOT to vote for. One does not think there is an American site that does the same job, nor highlight broken election promises.

The so called AI could not understand Scottish or some heavy accents. 2) Human, Operator and 00000's removed so you were in a phone hell loop 3) Unnecessary delay, keywords like Heart attack, car accident, critical, doctor, and barely audible help not escalated. 4) Outsourced, when service levels dropped below standard, the outsourced company got is own people to call in to bump up numbers and fudge performance statistics 5) Dont expect 000 or 911 to actually work, an outage caused by production non-testing caused 4 deaths. 6) Former call operators were 100% not asked to review or score the new system, or do any testing, just a cold switchover. 7) The list goes on. No automatic language detection. 8) redundant questions, like fire ambulance or police, when ambulance and heart attack were in the first ten words.

Try Tiny11. No Bitlocker, no recall, no edge, no online storage, No MS account. Executables gone, just not deactivated. Minimum hardware: bypassed. Yup, just back to basics.

AI is not creating value for the vast majority of users. Google and other digital marketing monopolies are creaming the big bucks, and using market power to set prices. The front door to eyeballs and wallets. Buy Buy. Small players have crumbs, so resort to misleading ads and claims for miracle products at inflated price. Microsoft has changed from an OS, then to a stack, then to roped in cloud services, to where the new bloated offering is packed with spyware and AI driven advertising, where leads from your use, can be sold to the third parties without your consent. You are the product. These bloated MS products are security risks. Rob Braxman videos explain some of the basics. TINY11 looks promising.

Have 3D printer, can simulate brick lines. Somebody scan it, and post the plans please.

My dentist had a boat. The accountant called it a sinking depreciation asset. For some reasons humans are prone to ear infections at depth. I hear Walter White could use an EV out of sight.

The electric Hybrid BYD Shark, designed for tradies has a power outlet on the back of the pickup. When the drain gets a bit high it automatically starts the gas engine to power the generator or welder. Tradies love it. Also the gas engine is an old or ancient GM design with proven reliability under the KISS principle. Testing in Australia has proved its AWD is defective up 4WD hills and being corrected as we speak. Range is not so hot, but hey, good enought to grab 80% of market share.
