The best invention against leaf blowers so far is the scrapyard.

about 12 decibels, which all but removes them, making them 94% quieter.

This “conversion” from decibel to per cent is more than ridiculous.

The amount of data required for constant recording and streaming of audio would be ridiculous

Relax, it is no big deal. Less than 1 GB for 24 hours of constant recording in good quality.

Even much less with compression (mp3 etc) and a little loss of audio quality. And if you leave away all the silence, I guess you can tune it down to a few MB.

That’s one harddisk for a year. But ofc you don’t even want to keep a whole year.

Stolen? LOL fingerprints cannot be stolen.

They are not protected, they are not copyrighted, they don’t go away from you when someone copies them …

You leave them everywhere, every day.

Fingerprints are public knowlege.

In the not-so-far future, when your smartphone breaks down, you can hear the doorbell ringing immediately, and the Amaz*n guy brings a new one.

I notice that you’re using unspaced em-dashes as the alternate form for parenthetical phrases. No other girl I’ve ever met on OnlyFans has done that.

LMAO

I need to save me that!!

Because start-up.

Did he forget to sell his Tesla shares in time?

Technically it is a “Judge says” post, but they still made it look like one of the old “Elon says” posts

Planting trees has shown to be not as effective at curbing the effects of climate change as previously thought.

It is very effective if done right.

For example, here they are doing a few things right: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Green_Wall_(Africa)

I don’t know about ecosia though. Just throwing in $0.02

Playing pranks to AI :-)

Reminds me… back in the day, when I was in the army. Telephones were rare then, and bulky, and they had cables of course, and dialing discs and no displays. You could not know who’s calling. You always needed to tell who you are.

My friend was a secretary in the company’s office. He had no telephone, but the boss had one, and the second boss in the other office had one.

When both bosses were out and my friend had nothing to do, he would take both telephones of these two offices. Dial the numbers of two random high ranked officers, somewhere in the administration. Then place the receivers together so that each one could hear the other one talking. And we could listen to both of them.

Each of the officers thought that the other one had called him up, and they didn’t know why.

Most of the times, they would start to fight and shout at each other immediately :-)
