Flock cameras

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

Flock cameras could also catch the hit and run drivers …  Flock cameras at intersections combined with AI technology and facial recognition can also help identify individuals … seniors who, for their own protection and frankly…  Grandmas, Grandpas and Hawaii residents of every age

We have technology that can be purchased, dash cams, and wearable camera products if an individual feels they need protection from hit and run, or as an aid in accurate accident reporting etc.

Why support Flock socialism and require everyone to pay for something a minority believes is beneficial, when we already have the freedom to purchase similar products from a retailer?

You've brought up another critical way that flock cameras can help save and improve lives, Durian Fiend.  Flock cameras at every angle in crosswalks could catch poor drivers who demonstrate that they don't know how to safely drive through crosswalks. Flock cameras could also catch the hit and run drivers so that we can lock them up and prevent them from harming more innocent victims. Flock cameras at intersections combined with AI technology and facial recognition can also help identify individuals in the oncoming wave of seniors who, for their own protection and frankly the safety of others, might require additional assistance at crosswalks and other activities of daily living.  Grandmas, Grandpas and Hawaii residents of every age are horribly killed and maimed in crosswalks by deadly drivers every year (see 8 links about Hawaii below).  Hopefully, when we have Flock cameras at every intersection, authorities can catch these crosswalk killers, and assist those in need, before they harm themselves or others.

We are all in this, together.

So, your goal is to just lock people up and do nothing to prevent these types of accidents from happening in the first place.

Sounds about right for you.

Edge: Yes, the one-size-fits-all argument.  All cameras are the same.  Would that include daguerreotypes?  The passenger pigeon model?

Edge: I wish you agreed with yourself.

Self reflection.  Good on you old friend.  Saved for posterity.

There are lessons, experiences in our life that teach us.  We can live that existence, we can also move on and carry those understandings with us.  Annie Dillard:

While working on her first novel, The Living, about settlers in the Pacific Northwest, she lived for a time on Puget Sound without electricity or running water.

"I thought this would be terribly difficult, but in fact you spend much less time on the 'fussing' in life than you do when you have those things," she told WHYY's Fresh Air in 1992.


Other values enter your soul.  Annie Dillard:

The press called me ... and said, 'What are you doing right now as you hear that you have won the Pulitzer Prize?' And I said, 'I'm washing spinach.' And they said, 'Don't you know that this means you need never wash spinach again?' And I thought, and probably said, 'Sure, I do. I don't like sand in my spinach.' And I've been washing spinach ever since.

Electricity, or not, washing the vegetables you grow, a thoughtful not fear ridden, hands on lifestyle like many of us live in Puna.

Good idea! Again Tangy! 

So, what YOU got to hide Tang? Maybe we get a Flock cam or two to zoom in on ya?

Mostly my love handles, my growing collection of reading glasses in every room and vehicle, my genuine fears of Tic-Toc & Bluesky, and my amusement with people who post while tipsy.

If the fish is fishing for a window to my daily schedule with unavailable information, it’s certainly inconvenient that he can’t take into account multiple computers, multiple screens, handhelds and several internet services.  Logged in and open.  But details never stopped a conclusion that moves full speed ahead whether the conclusion is true, false, or irrelevant if belief, hopes, and prayers are the proof of some argument.

As is so often the case in fishing with the wrong bait, or no bait at all the thrill of the gotcha becomes the agony of a self inflicted hook in the finger.

Nothing tops the amusement I get from reading your brilliantly written and consistently used non sequitur responses to virtually every other poster here on PunaWeb, but I don't think you hiding those love handles under 3 or 4 layers of saddle bags is doing much for you. 

Further, I'd be a bit concerned as to the growing need and volume of reading glasses you also feel the need to somewhat hide as you say, for two reasons. First, are you having to buy new reading glasses often because maybe you misplaced or lost pairs? That could be a sign of increasingly advanced short term memory loss. 

Secondly, I would hope that you are seeking medical attention for your-self admitted close up vision assistance needs with a proper optometrist or, if needed an ophthalmologist. It has been proven that unchecked non medically corrected up close vision issues can and has led to lack of comprehension and cognitive fatigue since struggling to focus on close-up words forces the brain to spend extra energy on decoding, leaving fewer mental resources for memory and meaning. 

Additionally, problems with eye coordination or tracking may make readers lose their place, skip lines, or constantly re-find where they were, which breaks the flow of reading which also can cause blurry or double vision as with conditions like farsightedness (hyperopia) or convergence insufficiency make text fuzzy or double, requiring constant and exhausting adjustments to keep words clear. I know the readers are cheap at Walmart or Cosco, but your eyes just got to come first don't you think?

At any event, I also understand that everyone else posts on PunaWeb while being "tipsy." Except you. But don't worry. I am sure a Flock cam or two will eventually find all your hidden secrets!

But details never stopped a conclusion that moves full speed ahead whether the conclusion is true, false, or irrelevant if belief, hopes, and prayers are the proof of some argument.

As is so often the case in fishing with the wrong bait, or no bait at all the thrill of the gotcha becomes the agony of a self inflicted hook in the finger.

Well said, but then as we see with some, its just easier to hide from reality and truth while believing denial is a river in Egypt.
