Well done dude! There is a very real market for hand made tiles! Fine your demographic and let them know what you can do. Including hand made tiles with mass produced tiles improve the looks of the project 10 fold!

Makes one wonder if cameras are concentrated in business districts. Assuming some appear in residential districts are they concentrated in specific census tracts, reported crime areas, ethnic background, or other?
Pair that question with the excuse to install any camera along with how the cameras are actually used. My guess is the response will be something like, "We don't have those numbers."

They drank the Kool-Aid...
Misplaced credibility. Faultless leaders. Twisted values. No responsibility.
Not a good mixture in any culture. Diametrically opposed to Christianity..

It's amazing the number of devices that are now connected to the internet. Especially those devices that have no justification to be online other than to exploit people that fork out hard earned money so these data sponges can soak up more data.

Oh no! I don't know how to operate anything manual...and how would my too big creepy snoopy tech acct ever be able to tell my friends what I'm doing?

What kind of batteries does it take? Most stores only carry the batteries most commonly used. Also, does it have an Android app?

I wanted a plant on my desk at work. I chose a Jade plant.
It was bitter cold well below 0F and I walked to work with the plant in hand. It was covered with a paper grocery bag. The Jade plant froze and that part died.
A month later the Jade plant had new growth and flourished. I had that plant another couple of years until I moved.

I avoided downtown Denver after the tornado..not because of fear of tonadoes, but because it took out Harry Hoffman's.
I thought the new library looked weird. Now this long ass bridge to get from here to there? Naw, I don't think so.

A resource for you might be the Spark museum in Bellingham, WA.

I just watched your video on the kitten homepage. I'm impressed! with both your style and content.
My experience as a developer is very old (procedural languages) long before html, css, js, etc. were in use.
I'm retired and tinker with software/hardware. I've avoided web based stuff - too much concern about attracting eyeballs and not enough about providing useful content.
I'll be looking into kitten much more along with digging out my html, css, and js books.

If the #aurora is #green and #red then why isn't there #blue and #yellow - green is a mix of blue and yellow.

Are there Pi-Pop bike service centers outside France? such as the USA?

At this moment his followers are blind to his true goals. They are children skipping school and extorting lunch money from their classmates. He is egging them on. Later, he will pressure them to do far worse.
The question is - what will it take for them to turn on him?

I just found out about the 4B movement. Something along the same lines has been around for a very long time. Each interation is stronger and has a larger following. Who knows which one will "be the one," but one thing is certain. If men insist on beating down women emotionally and physically then there will continue to be 4B movements and each will become more powerful.
Grow up guys - you're not as important as you think you are. Marriage is a partnership not a job.

@npub165c…tdlq I saw your toot https://geekdom.social/@FantasticalEconomics/113153115118145867
and like your viewpoint - not sure how to detatch "success" from "greed," but I believe it's possible. Perhaps not today, but sometime in the future. I see Trump as the poster child for extreme Capitalism. I don't understand why this elephant in the room isn't discussed in the media.

You're not alone.
I get most of my computer equipment 2nd hand. It's amazing what ends up in a 2nd hand shop. Some stuff is donated simply because something with a better shine and a bit brighter was just dumped on the retail market. Note I didn't talk about the quality of the stuff dumped on te retail market.

Social media opens a very limited channel/connection between people that has no responsibility attached to it. That's both good and bad. Lack of responsibily tips the scale in bad behavior's favor.
Adding responsibility removes anonymity. Without anonymity voicing one's opinion is severely limited and often eliminiated. Mute or in extreme cases blocking individuals is only a partial solution.
Their rude behavior is on public view and taints them - not you.

Stay safe. I hope the hurricane/tropical storm passes quickly. Mother nature packs a nasty punch.
I've never experienced anything close to a foot of rain in that short a time frame. Here if we get a few inches of rain in a short time the flood drains turn into water fountains and shoot water five or more feet into the air. I can't imagine what a foot of rain would do to infrastructure.
