How did it hurt their career? Those guys love small venues. Eddie and his wife played behind a sheet at Satyricon just to feel connected. Jeff had a 3 fish show on the second floor of some random building. It was lit by candles and like 100 fans sat crosslegged in a small candle lit room. This was around the time of either vs or Virology, I can't remember.

No, it didn't hurt their career, it hurt their fans access to them. They had achieved more fame and money than they would have ever imagined. They just cared about their fans.

Do you think that the total length was 230% of the original summary? Could ChatGpt could have kept the original 100% and then added a 130% expansion to it? You said over double and this is the only thing I could think of that might yield this type of result.

I was on a foot bridge in Bend, Oregon about a week ago and a BNSF train went underneath. The conductor even honked right before s/he went under the bridge. Interesting experience for sure. Glad you were able to observe something similar.

I used to work with a security company that did remote view networked camera setups. 5-6k is completely reasonable for a substation retrofit. Plus when the camera detects movement, an alert can be forwarded to the security team so that they may determine if the threat is credible or not and respond if necessary.

The technology is fairly straightforward and intuitive. The power companies all have qualified technicians that are more than qualified to do the install. If the companies negotiated directly with Honeywell or another manufacturer, the price could reduced significantly as the two companies reach a long term agreement.

Video is inexpensive. They can alert the entire security team within seconds of detecting motion. Response time is critical and this is key. Not some CSI wanna be high powered enhance camera. Save those for the new builds. The retrofits could be quite cheap.

I can't believe we live in this timeline. I can't go to the store to by a gallon of ice cream without passing several cameras trying to cite me for a traffic crime. Once I arrive at my friendly corporate megamart, I am even under more surveillance. They even go so far as to show me my face on a large screen suspended from the ceiling. When I finally get to self checkout the final camera, complete with facial recognition, is designed to ensure that I can be prosecuted if I don't ring up my $5 ice cream. No expense was spared in making me a compliant little citizen.

The nationa and state levell power grid though? We just don't have the money

WTACTUALF!!!
