Can’t you just get a camera and network attached drive? What’s the benefit of using a third party?

You have to add motion detector that sends an SMS, but you can buy all of that as a package and not have a subscription or 3rd party accessing your data or sharing it with the police. Sharing with the police is a feature, not a bug though - as far as most customers are concerned.

Yea, literally that meme about how the guys who talk about feminism and being a good ally the most are exactly the guys you have to watch out for the most.

I saw a guy on a hoverboard riding in the street at like 40 mph wearing full motorcycle gear and helmet. Felt unsafe af, I’d rather he be on the sidewalk

Ha, I’ve got these hoverboard guys showing up in my neighborhood too, just flying down the streets. Also in my neighborhood everybody jogs in the street now? Must be something from covid distancing. Even if you’re running 3 or 4 abreast you aren’t a car, the sidewalk is open.

Between e-bikes, hoverboards and scooters it’s nice to see people get around more without cars, but god damn people are lazy. Walking is not hard.

He was still a guy who wanted to be the center of things, who wanted to have a company full of his people, a bunch of employees, a bunch of reports. He was still a boss. Maybe he wasn’t as greedy for money as most rich people, but he still wanted power.

But the forces who hate things like non-bosses making decent money are sure tripping over themselves to gloat here.

Yeah the ones I see are grown men on hoverboards with one wheel in the middle. They also appear to be lugging around extra gear in backpacks; I find it all a tad confusing. I’ve seen them bombing through my 20mph neighborhood going at least 35-40

uh huh

I call ebikes duicycles for how often they’re in the ER while drunk in an accident. Also people who lost their license use them.

They look fun though

These are what I’m calling hoverboards, don’t know what the real name is. Looks like a disaster waiting to happen to me but I see them all the time in Minneapolis

That’s a onewheel. At least that’s the brand of the only manufacturer that I know of but that’s also what they’re commonly called.

I saw some people doing this in Portland probably going about 40mph.

I’m gonna be honest. They seem extremely useful if I’m running late to work or something. Instead of walking, just use an e-scooter lying on the street and get there with time to spare.

Yeah these are what I’ve seen. Just two days ago a guy was bombing down Lincoln St going at least 35mph and he was doing the Titanic (1997) “king of the world” pose on it. I have to admit I may have been slightly rooting for a collision between him and one of the innumerable cyclists in the neighborhood who can’t be bothered to even scoff at stop signs anymore

I was riding a bicycle the other day and I stopped for someone in a crosswalk and his head literally asploded.

If you’re grossed out by soggy chicken skin, chicken feet won’t be your cup of tea.
