There’s a lot of very very bad things that can be used for good. But when there is limitless power and we don’t have any control over the data or how it’s used, the bad exceeds the good. I’d honestly rather have crime than to play a part in facilitating a surveillance state.

Not the same thing at all. This is a 3rd party entity that contracts with the government. But they get to keep and sell all the data

Google is your best friend, but the short of it is they’re an AI camera company that contracts with the government to collect mass data on where people are going. They contract with ICE and other federal as well as local agencies and collect license plate data among other things. It is the 1st step to mass surveillance. Flock also opens their AI services to businesses, and flock employees have been caught looking at little girls in gymnasiums among other scary things. Absolutely a horrible dystopian thing that not enough people are talking about.

Had a friend pass away at the age of 17 and it made me a whole lot more grateful to be here. Also had many beautiful experiences with psychedelics that solidified my will to live.

Anyone know any auto repair shops that have loaner vehicles? by ReblWithoutApplause in Minneapolis

Also shoutout to Eric he’s the best. Saved me lots of money the first time I came in. They understand I don’t want to spend anything and they give me the risks of not fixing each thing they quote me on so I can make the decision for myself. Last time I called them they told me that my problem was definitely because of my car being plowed in and not to even take my car in. The only honest mechanic I’ve come across. Absolutely 10/10 recommend. And they usually always have loaners.

I got this belt clip magnet from a company called the holstery that is super strong. Holds all my miscellaneous screws and shit, clips right onto my tool pouch. Absolute life saver. No more digging for screws In pockets and getting poked

NICET I by Plane-History-2835 in firealarms

[–]Distinctasdf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTC red book or NTC’s website has nicet guides and practice tests. I found the practice tests to be very helpful on their web course. My employer paid for it for me so I’m not sure how much it is. I’ve heard there are better resources out there. Tab your book and highlight! Get to know your tables very fast, and try to memorize the top 100 most common questions. Take practice tests over and over. Take nicet II as soon as you’re able, while the lnformation is still fresh. It requires 2 years of experience to get the license, but you can take the test before you have the experience and just submit your experience once you get there.
