It's one of my inappropriate set pieces. When I run into particularly uppity engineers who want to use 10 sensors and 5 motors to open a door, I give them the butthole monologue to point out that physical complexity != functionality.

In industry there is something called "multi-phase flow" where you have a pipe that contains a mix of two or more states of matter like steam and liquid water, water and trash, sand and air. Handling multi-phase flows can be a real pain because you need to separate them but you don't always know how much of each phase is present and they may be very well mixed. In steam pipes, separators are used to remove any liquid water from the gas flow, in flows with solid components filters or screens can be used to allow fluids to pass but in all cases there are complex parts or consumables.
And so the butthole is an absolute marvel of engineering, with only a single moving part it can separate a multi-phase flow into it's constituent parts regardless of it's orientation in space (most of the time).
My man!
Colour sensors have 1/4 the resolution of a B&W sensor with the same number of elements (1R, 2G, 1B sub-pixel per pixel). If you know you are going somewhere that is uniformly grey you get more data from the higher pixel count. Also, an RGB sensor doesn't actually tell you anything about the colour of an object, it just looks like the colour of the object to a human eye. To know the actual colour of something you need to use a spectrometer to measure how much of each wavelength of light is being reflected.
tl;dr RGB colour cameras are pretty but don't help with science
But without nofail, it was suddenly worth stopping the boot process.
Welp, that explains a mystery no-boot I had a few years ago.
Because executives have to get from coast to coast NOW, they are very important have have to be in the same room as other executives while they tank the possibility that you can ever retire.
So does a 54% reduction in trails offset the 2% higher carbon emissions?
You guys got to work from home? I had to work on Christmas 2020.
I was really sour about the Mr Robot prank where they modified pages without informing the user. But weighing a prank gone wrong against the active goal of dicking over the internet I'll take the well meaning pranksters.
My GF got around the Honda reliability problem when some jerkoff stole her CRV last week. Guy walked up, did some SDR magic, opened the door, started it up and drove away. Both keys were in the house :/
S-Tier security there, Honda.

Except for my AMD 1800x that was 4 years old when W11 launched and not supported.
