Never going to happen.

The police radio detector would always be receiving signal, so then you'd have to have some kind of speech recognition AI or something to figure out if there's one checking speed.

Then if there were a built-in radar detector, it would be illegal to sell in many states.

>pellet production is super bad btw

What do you mean by that? Like, you have a pellet stove but can't find pellets because of production issues?

Or that you would never consider getting one because you see turning waste from lumber processes into fuel as a bad thing?

It's also a bit counterproductive too; those trees are shading your house and keeping it cooler in the summer. Cutting them down for solar, you're generating power, but then turning around to use that power to cool your house that's now baking in the sun.

You'll still come out ahead, but imo there are better ways. Community solar and grid solar make way more sense to me...rather than putting expensive small arrays high up on roofs and removing trees from neighborhoods, put a big field of them on already blighted land. Cap off a landfill, cover it with panels. No one wants to live on a landfill, and there was no nature there before either. It's a win-win.

Rates are up ~40% on electric and ~10% on natural gas.

Have you broken down your price difference to see what's rate increases and what's usage increase? That would be a good first step. Then compare to the same month last year, being mindful of billing days in the period (it can be different) and weather.

For sure.

HR serves the company as any employee does, but part of serving the company is attracting and retaining talent, which can be in the employee's best interest too. It's not like they're pure evil (or pure good), they just have a role that sometimes aligns with what the employee wants for themselves, and sometimes it doesn't, and people should understand that.

> Does RI has the smallest tallest waterfall of all the states? That would be even more fun.

That thought crossed my mind too, but I quickly ran out of steam trying to research it. If you wanted to take up the mantle, then the four states with a lower maximum land elevation are Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Delaware which might be a good place to start.

Yeah, that's who I was thinking of too. Obviously the colors are a bit more subdued with the shark, but it seems to have that same kind of cartoony 3d effect with the animal mugging for the "camera".

edit: here's an example Lisa Frank that the shark feels similar to...the animal just floating in space, mouth open, angled toward the viewer, with other ocean accoutrements just kinda strewn about with wonky perspective.
