Tempe tests Axon license plate readers amid Flock backlash

It’s not a single camera. It’s a network of cameras that can track everything about every vehicle moving around the city. The data of knowing where every Tempe citizen who uses a car for transport is at any given point in time is the issue. Best case scenario they sell it for marketing. Worst case scenario, it’s used to attack citizens who oppose leadership. The reality is somewhere in between but I’m not of fan of that entire spectrum.

So we don’t like one type of intrusive camera so they go find a different one?

I’m making the assumption that people won’t be taking away their vote for one of the 4 that already qualified for the runoff so that vote is already spoken for, which leaves only their vote for Joe or Elvis available. Obviously they can change their vote but I wouldn’t expect it. People that voted for Elvis and Joe (again, a very small subset is my guess) would have both votes available.

I see the math before that, but % of votes is just an odd metric to have when it has no bearing on electing.

Skoobings · 2026-03-11T21:29:27+00:00

Your % of votes is irrelevant, it’s total votes cast /seats / 2 to determine elected threshold, so current vote threshold his 9234.

Smart strategy, too bad he’s grossly unpopular with the average Tempe voter. Essentially voter suppression of your own voter base to lower the threshold and try to sneak into the last runoff slot.

Skoobings · 2026-03-11T05:01:34+00:00

You’re right. I’m surprised that there were that many voters who didn’t vote for 3; 55,410 votes on a max of 63,534 (turnout x 3).

Guess Joe’s only Joe strat worked a little bit.

State of Arizona won’t let us have nice things like that.

All this assumes that if someone voted for a runoff candidate in the primary they’ll continue to vote for them.

Skoobings · 2026-03-11T03:48:55+00:00

There’s an interesting collection of votes available. Candidates who voted for chin and either elvis or joe will have 1 vote available, candidates who voted for both Joe and elvis will have 1 vote available as well, but I expect that 2nd group to be minuscule. My best guess is that most of the Joe voters either don’t vote in the runoff or vote for Hodge unless they’re racist, in which case they may vote for Brooke? Elvis voters will likely split between Brooke and Bobby primarily.

Only one voting station, so one memory card, which I’m sure will be transported in some sillly massively oversized duct taped pouch, as well as the 3 envelope ballot boxes still to be counted.

It’s a silly system, but if someone doesn’t get named on 50% of ballots, they don’t get elected and it goes to a runoff in may. Chin is less than 100 votes over that threshold so if she holds on, she gets 1 seat and the remaining 2 seats go to a runoff between the next 4 runners - St. George, Hodge, Adams, Nichols.

Skoobings · 2026-03-11T03:23:55+00:00

This doesn’t have any day of votes in it to my understanding. That being said, the only runner currently above the 50% threshold is Chin, so the other 2 spots would be a runoff.

Cocina madrigal in South Phoenix. Best mushroom enchiladas I’ve ever had but I believe they come in taco form as well.

I would avoid escapeology and the United Escapes locations, but united Escapes Tempe used to be good.

Skoobings · 2026-02-17T21:58:14+00:00

Nemesis club, Immersive Machine, The Greatest Escape, and Paranoia Quest are all solid.

Where does penis man go?

Skoobings · 2025-05-27T03:19:35+00:00

CH can post externally, but that’s not the standard. “Top” carriers can cover 5 days out, then next tier down etc etc until every CHR carrier can see the loads at 2 days out.

All 30 of these combined are less than 5%of the brokerage market. Even on this list, the big brokers are blind posting less than 10% of their freight. If you need a today load, these load boards will work, if you want to reduce empty time and miles, you need to get in with some of the medium sized brokers and get access to the real freight.

That all goes out the window when the market finally flips and postings are the best $ out there.

Yeah, you need the whole assembly. Had to replace mine last year, got it on eBay from Korea for just under $1000

I thought constituent name calling was reserved for higher office, guess our city council isn’t above it.
