@HuskerDipShit @CBSNews -- Oh yeah, but THIS actually did happen. CBS News level.

@CrazyyHub Dang, next time let the cat drive. It's smarter.

Another artifact of no job with limp re-jobbing effort: A bathrobe hung at the front door because you can't acceptably go move the trash on trash day in your whitey tighties.

You might only notice this if you too have spent years rescuing people from loose VGA or HDMI cables.

It looks like incomplete post production work for this episode of Larry David's HBO series "Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness." -- Sumptin' was supposed to go between those green corners.

I am amazed at this phenomenon of people reacting to social media posts or things like Reddit posts with whatever outrage or strong reaction they have. Why does everyone pretend posting online isn't low barrier and on its own low authority? It's like humanity has this inert desire to live in a Jerry Soringer studio audience. :/

@CensoredTube Let this be a lesson: Life jackets save lives.

@Xversionofme1 How does it "save" her? Does she escape to a Mexican beach for the rest of her life?

I wonder if Frontier Airline is going to be forced to review their protocols since they hit someone in the runway. Maybe someone will try to sue them? Frontier Airline is unsafe. /s #GoBriteLine

@2020_kidd @sciencegirl Which would be justice though. The point is to cost the scofflaw something. What you describe is totally fine in lieu of (maybe inarguably more convenient) fine payment.

Looks like the heat in the Iran War has been turned down to burn longer.

@JamesMa41250108 I don't think there's been a case like this yet where a stop to Wal-Mart (or Home Depot) hasn't figured into the equation. It's an official True Crime trope at this point.

@DickOnFoot I've proven you wrong. Prove me wrong.

[David Pinero @DavidEPinero]

@The1Puritan @ICEgov Not a troll - just right. ;)

[David Pinero @DavidEPinero]

Correct.

NEST non-subscribers who set up the camera and configure the app still get three hours of cloud recording *as* non-subscribers.

So basically the Guthrie family was like "I don't wanna pay for a subscription, I'm fine with three hours."

Arlo cameras used to give you 5 days of cloud recording as a non-subscriber. I was a non-subscriber and that's what I used. Actually caught a burglar to boot.

@bobtikworld When you go out for a night of boosting BBQ grills and fertilizer bags and wind up the center of a national manhunt. :O

[David Pinero @DavidEPinero]

This is a misunderstanding of what happened. *Non-subscribers* still got three or so hours of footage to the cloud. They weren't a "paying subscriber" but they were a "subscriber of the free tier". By merely installing the camera and configuring the app they "subscribed" for a free three hours of footage. But it is correct, however, that deleted data can be recovered if done expertly, in time, and precisely -- as with anything stored in memory or hard drive. A general truth to be sure.

[David Pinero @DavidEPinero]

Ah dunno that binary view is not fair. There is the middle ground that got well explained in all of this. Even water you flush from the toilet has to "live in the pipes" a little bit on the way out. It's really no different than for data. But, to your point, that still counts as data being there when you think it might be gone, true.
