According to my wife, her late father would remove the meter and flip it around to run in reverse back in the 70’s…lol
Isn’t it a fineable offense to remove the meter’s tamper key now-a-days though?
If not…

🚨 HIGHWAY PATROL PLOWS UPSIDE-DOWN CAR ACROSS LIVE CALIFORNIA FREEWAY — AND DRIVERS ARE STUNNED
This just happened in Riverside, California and drivers couldn’t believe what they were watching.
A California Highway Patrol unit lines up… then plows a flipped vehicle sideways across multiple lanes like it’s nothing.
• Car completely upside down
• Plowed across FOUR lanes of traffic — median to the shoulder
• Patrol vehicle uses brute force to clear it
• No warning… just impact
People watching from behind the wheel are shocked this is even allowed.
Most drivers thought this would make it worse… not be standard procedure.
Now everyone’s asking the same thing:
Since when was this an option… and how often are they doing this without people noticing?

This woman was awoken to a loud crash, she ran down stairs and saw that the dryer fell off of the washer. She’s here alone and tried to pick it back up but it’s just too heavy.
The only thing she could think of is to call 9-1-1. The police and fire department came out and was able to help her put it back.
She’s being heavily criticized for calling an emergency line for what they consider a non emergency. But if you are a woman living alone with nobody to help you when something like this happens, was it appropriate for her to call 9-1-1?

@JamesonCamp Point this right at my solar panels at night. Infinite money and energy glitch
English

$5,000 an hour. for sunlight. from space.
a startup putting 50,000 mirrors in orbit to sell sunlight anywhere on earth
I thought this was the dumbest idea Ive ever heard
then it clicked
- firefighting aircraft get GROUNDED every night at sunset. pilots cant see terrain. fires burn unchecked for 10 hours straight.
and heres whats wild - water drops are 60% more effective at night. cooler temps. less wind. but nobody can fly.
light up the fire line from orbit. let them work. the US spends $3-5B a year fighting wildfires. this is a rounding error.
- a single late frost in Napa or Florida citrus can wipe out an entire season. $854M in frost losses last year alone.
but the crazy part - the real buyer isnt even the farmer. its the crop insurance company trying to avoid a $500M payout by spending $50k on a few hours of orbital sunlight
- fog costs London Heathrow over $100M a year in delays. fog burns off when sunlight hits the ground. you speed that up by 30 minutes and the value per hour is $500K-$1M. $5k/hour is pocket change
- military forward operating base at night? forget night vision goggles. just light up the whole compound from space and go get it
- 4 million people above the Arctic Circle live in MONTHS of total darkness. depression. productivity drops. everything slows down. you could give entire communities twilight during polar night
- 150,000 babies die or get brain damage every year in developing countries from jaundice because the cure is literally just light and they dont have electricity for it.
beam it down from orbit. no power grid needed.
I went down this rabbit hole for an hour and every use case is more insane than the last
260,000 people from 157 countries on the waitlist. each dropping $1,000-5,000. Sequoia backed them - first space investment since SpaceX. the Air Force already signed a contract.
mirrors weigh 35 lbs and theyre the size of a basketball court. 4-10x brighter than a full moon. built by a 28 year old ex-SpaceX engineer.
this went from "dumbest thing Ive ever seen" to holy shit in about 10 minutes...

@pmcafrica Instead of smashing its bones to make it fit back through they should cut the wire holding it

@offgriddesigner If only we could measure temperature somewhere besides airports 🤔
English

The hottest 11 years because they moved the temperature sensors to airport RUNWAYS
António Guterres@antonioguterres
We have just endured the 11 hottest years on record. When history repeats itself 11 times, it's no longer a coincidence. It's a call to act. Climate chaos is accelerating & delay is deadly. The way ahead must be grounded in science, common sense & the courage to act. #ActNow
