If there is such a widespread disaster that the only way to communicate is over AM radio, your EV is soon going to be a permanent fixture on the blighted landscape for many decades anyway. Maybe eventually a vault dweller will be able to jumpstart it so they can listen to Three Dog ion Galaxy News Radio. But I would not hold your breath.

I am well into my fifties and have never once relied on AM radio for information in an emergency. That includes two separate times that we had widepread flooding due to hurricanes and were without power for close to 2 weeks, all kinds of noreasters, blizzards, and of course the terrorist attacks. What hypothetical emergency are you considering where having a permanently installed AM radio in a car would make any difference in your life? And maybe of you are that much of a nervous wreck, you can carry a portable battery powered AM radio so that the rest of us do not have to financially subsidize your paranoia?

The bill requires an AM radio receiver be installed but does not specify any compliance standard. This should cost nearly nothing to implement. Just sling some code at the SDR, and whatever terribly short range staticky mess you capture can be presented to the consumer for compliance purposes. Sorry our AM receiver was only has a thousand yard range, but it meets the federal requirement.

The garbage men donâ(TM)t need to slow down to inspect the trash. There are cameras that record the dumping of the trash can into the truck, they use some (AI?) software to identify infractions, then send you an additional bill along with a link to a video recording of your noncompliant trash sorting. Service provider is Waste Management, in the Seattle area. Welcome to an altered future. https://www.thedrive.com/news/...

Don't go up the ladder, go down. I extensively use 20% concentrated vinegar to control weeds and brush on my ~1 acre property. It's just as fast acting and effective as Roundup, but instead of causing cancer, it smells like salad dressing. Unlike Glyphosate it is not a selective herbicde and kills broadleaf plants and grasses alike. So it's not as useful for farmers spraying Roundup resistant soybean crops. But for control of backyard weeds, it's much preferred to giving your family and pets cancer.

Oh, you are in for a treat. I'd really consider it more "words being spoken pompously" than "singing."

It took them close to 15 years to get rid of those urine sponges. https://www.soundtransit.org/b...

Why? I ship a lot. It's almost always faster and cheaper to ship by USPS than UPS or FEDEX. For-profit services are always worse quality that government services. They have to be, in order to make a profit.

That vehicle could have been used to wipe out a whole herd of San Francisco AI programmers crossing the street, and it was wasted on a defenseless puppy.

No, passwords.txt is the way to go.

This is literally the PURPOSE of HIPAA, and why it was passed. To enable the sharing of medical data amongst third parties. The P does NOT stand for privacy.

Potentially I can be retrained as a telegraph courier?

NASA developed, built, and operated a satellite catching craft over 50 years ago. It was called the STS, otherwise known as the Space Shuttle. Publicly, it caught the Solar Max satellite, the Hubble Space Telescope, and several others. Thatâ(TM)s what it was built for. What do you consider the chances are that a few Soviet satellites were also visited during the classified Department of Defense missions? https://www.nasa.gov/history/3...

I recently found that over the winter, a rat chewed a hole through a plastic bottle of 2-4D weed killer I had stored in my shed. They will go at anything.
