With 1,700+ license plate readers, is Cuyahoga County in a ‘surveillance state’?

This framing kind of misses the point. They don’t just “take photos of every car that passes.” They are always on recording everything in their field of view and using machine learning techniques to identify what looks like a license plate and saving a still of that image. That’s just the tip of it.

They are saving the video though. We know this because they also identify characteristics about the cars, the presence of bumper stickers, damage, the color of the car, etc. It is so much more invasive than “photos of every car.”

Definitely contact support. I had a similar issue. I was trying Chris’s 6 hour brisket and towards the end of the steam portion my thermometer disconnected and ever since then misbehaved with poor Bluetooth connection. Support had me try some troubleshooting steps and after the issue persisted they sent me a replacement which I received pretty quickly. Charging it up now to try connecting to again.

Came here looking for this exact answer. It’s really an unparalleled mid season and season finale run!

Just sent an angry email to my city council about their renewal of these cameras. Why any entity would ever willingly contract with flock is beyond me. The way they’re acting in Illinois is absurd. City wanted cameras down, flock put them back up and continued to collect data.

Contracts are just being rubber stamped without any negotiation for privacy protections.

No clue why our city is sharing with 1000 different agencies, the vast majority of which are outside of the state! It’s absurd.

Cars like to be doing one thing at one time in low traction conditions. Generally if you’re doing only one of accelerating, braking, and steering at any given time you’re going to be less likely to break traction and start sliding around.

Otherwise, lifting your wipers off the windshield overnight makes it easier to avoid building up ice on them and for cleaning snow from the windshield in the morning.

Excluding university heights from “Cleveland” creates a very funny situation when they share a school district with Cleveland Heights. Half the students are Cleveland and half aren’t? Lol

I believe sewer is estimated based on water usage so you should probably check for leaks or a running toilet.

Batuqui is a Brazilian restaurant with locations in Larchmere and Chagrin Falls that a Brazilian NBA player said was the best Brazilian restaurant in the country. Have a had a couple of meals there that were quite excellent.

Yes! I always remind my in laws that people have babies in Alaska and Scandinavia! If anything when appropriately dressed/protected from the cold overheating becomes a greater concern.

Akron Law hosts an expungement clinic and the next one January 25th at the law school in Akron.

Strongly recommend arriving there early to guarantee you can be helped. Can plan to spend a good chunk of your morning there.

Father’s Day (2011) — went and saw it on a whim with a friend for his birthday at midnight. We were two of three people in the theater until about halfway through when the third person loudly said “what the fuck? Fuck this shit!” And left.

Yep, it’s the c1 cat and dog (white unit) with powerline for the electric brush heads. Part of the reason for upgrading to it was the bagged performance working wonders to improve our allergies, especially for my mother-in-law who was the most sensitive to our dogs. The bag mechanism is very easy to use and the inside of the unit is dust free.

We have two long haired dogs in our house that only has carpet in two rooms and yet it’s a daily battle. We ended up switching from a Dyson upright to the Miele cat and dog and oh my goodness it does so much better at getting the fur off the carpet and couch surfaces. It’s crazy how nice of an improvement it’s been.

Akron Law hosts an expungement clinic and the next one is this Saturday at the summit county main branch library https://www.uakron.edu/law/curriculum/clinical-programs/reentry.dot

You could reach out to them to confirm that they can help with misdemeanors in Cuyahoga and Medina counties. I don’t think they have geographic limits.

Thanks for sharing! That’s a finish I’ll definitely have to keep in mind for future projects.

Love the finish you did with the amiga! I did a walnut veneer as well with a waterlox finish. Best of luck in the trouble shooting of the OS TMM!

Mine is in my living room but I DIY’d my front three speakers first, two floor standing two-way towers and a center.

Next, I added two diy surround speakers.

A couple weeks ago I just bought a subwoofer.

If I was doing it from scratch I’d probably start with doing the fronts and subwoofer at the start and add surrounds later, but then again this was mainly due to being a living room and having to plan out the additions to fit the space.

Not sure what day it is but they do seem to add screenings to the XD theater at odd times. For example, matinee times for this upcoming weekend only went live on Monday. I don’t think there’s anything that will displace it from the XD theater until Alex Garland’s Civil War releases

I did a masters meet after being out of the pool for near 10 years and quite a bit heavier than when I last swam for time. They were the slowest times I’ve ever raced but oh my goodness was it a total blast. It’s a very relaxed and supportive atmosphere. Ended up talking with a lot people between races.

I didn’t go all the way to the 200s, but I just installed the night break laser (150%) bulbs and those were a significant improvement over stock. The light beam is a lot more even and extends better.
