So, if the photo/story has any truth to it.

There's a large number of people standing on the streets protesting the build up of everything they threw out while they collect food and water from aid shipments...

Instead of just saying, we're all standing here with nothing to do we could maybe clean and organize some of this until they can deal with it?

I don't expect miracles but I feel like if you've got time to protest you can pick vacant lots/areas and carry the trash there. Keep the streets clean and infestation down.

We had a tornado here a few years back at nearly 10pm. An hour later literally every able bodied individual was out with saws, trailers, wagons, carts, food, water, knocking on doors, checking on everyone and organizing the mess for cleanup.

People didn't just sit around with signs saying "when's the help coming."

We can make 30 liters of pure water with the fresnel lense from a junk projection TV just by putting two of them over a water tank...

MIT now

We designed a severely complicated ten stage solar collector despite our 20 previous publications about massively simple and cheap methods of doing the same thing that we said each time was revolutionary in water production/collection.

Congratulations MIT. Can we just build some of these instead of finding/funding more?

Apple 2 versions Snapdragon 4 versions

Apple Ram generation 5 Snapdragon ram generation 5+

Apple 4k 60 Snapdragon 4k120 8k30

Apple wifi 6 Bluetooth 5.3 Snapdragon wifi 7 Bluetooth 5.4

So basically you get newer standards without Apple.

Kind of reminds me of the 10$ Bluetooth earbuds from places like Goodwill having modern multi channel Bluetooth but airpods using an old version that required linking to each other.

As someone with family in a care home this is depressing but not for the reason this article is pushing for.

Family member with mental issues becomes so violent/disruptive/unmanageable they need police called on a regular basis.

Let's put them in a care home with 20+ others the same way.

One/two months later

Why is this family member we never once visited having issues and how long has it been this way

Care is an issue but how are you not taking 5 minutes to see your own family. Ouch.

If that's all they're wearing and it's now a negative...

Which is why you just use Mint Instead and get rid of all the ads and telemetry while using the same solutions.

 

They'll obviously die of poverty the first week. Anyone else want to suffer this badly? /s

Winter is upon us. Rubber and plastics get stiff and need to be handled carefully depending on weather.

Customers will break the air pumps basically daily by yanking/flinging the hoses around and then come in to bitch the free air pump isn't working.
