I'd be curious to see the dish install. It's hard to imagine how someone would think it'd go unnoticed, on a warship, no less.

What exactly are we looking at here, is it a drone with a flamethrower, spitting fire into trenches?

Mhm. That said, only a few places around where I live have "coin operated" carts. I guess the places that do have them got tired of the selfish, inconsiderate sobs who didn't return the carts.

To me it feels so utterly strange to just dump a cart in the middle of a parking lot and, seemingly, think nothing of it.

I'm Norway, and yeah, I'm sure there are places that don't abide by the law. But, I'm quite certain the kind of monitoring Tesla appears to be doing would be national news in a hurry, and something that would be cracked down on.

Sorry, I don't have any additional data. I just saw the post on Mastodon and thought it was an interesting tidbit.

Holy shit. I sometimes forget just how grateful I am to not live where it's possible/legal to treat people like this.

There are so many stunning creatures on this planet.

Compared to their wooden counterparts, windjammers may not be quite as elegant, but I find some of them quite attractive. E.g. Christian Radich.

That ship, btw, was the star in the 1958 film Windjammer. Shot in Cinemiracle, it is well worth a watch.

Survey marker, used by surveyors to calibrate equipment. So I've been told, anyway.

I first bought a phone as soon as the first GSM networks opened, in Norway, in 1993. My first phone was a Pioneer PCC-D700 and, if memory serves, it cost 2995 NOK / ~300 EUR.

Before GSM became a thing, phones were crazy expensive, though. Almost as expensive as an iPhone, he.
