My City of seven square miles as part of a general obligation bond they have issued is spending $2 million to put in 30 cameras throughout the City.

The police and local politicians feel that most visible way to fight crime is to pull people over for any and all violations flagged by ALPR this will happen more and more.

Did I mention that the City is a heavily visited tourist City?

Expect more armed stops by police on "stolen" cars as well.

Sadly there is zero thought given to privacy "protections" either for the data.

This is my biggest problem with Amazon now and why I use it less and less.

The air handler uses inside air only. The compressor heat pump is outside and either runs its cycle strictly on outside air

> People of China deserve better (once they’re a solid middle class and taken out of poverty).

You are implying that the current policies will bring them out of poverty which in a sense contradicts your first statement.

> "house fan" for 15 minutes or so every hour at night just to circulate the air in the house,

Depending on your climate, this could significantly raise the humidity in your house. Reason is that moisture from the AC coil are wet after the AC turns off. Typically drips off into the pan until next time AC cycles.

If you run the fan you will then evaporate into the air circulating some of the moisture just removed.

I don't understand that. Literally the only "benefit" of a HDHP is the HSA. Why do employers not offer one?

These super fast cars are a threat to life and safety in urban environments. EV or not, these fast vehicles should not be sold as these speeds do not serve any valid purpose.

3M is a staple in American Industry. I wonder if this is foreshadowing anything broader for the USA.
