Yeah, RFID may be a shit way to go tbh. I was definitely thinking just traditional barcode scanners attached to a small computer on the cart.

I’m with you. Automatically charging sounds like a nightmare. I still always want a human to verify everything a computer says. I don’t trust a corporate entity to not try and rio me off.
Very interesting! I haven’t had the chance to do groceries in France yet. I’d love to see it though. It just seems so nice.
Well it’s a good thing they hardly ever employ cashiers and make me go through self-checkout. I’d never steal from self-checkout.
I’m guessing those checkouts you linked use some sort of RFID chip in the tag? Pretty interesting!
Brilliant minds think alike.
A lot of the issues you mentioned get solved in season 2. I think there was a network shift and the camera work got better. Later on Amazon pumped a lot of money into the show as well. It’s really worth the watch and I’d love to hear back from you if you do.
If you’re a gamer there’s a Telltale game that follows this account’s namesake. Camina Drummer.
The writers did a fantastic job writing all the dialogue in the books. I would argue it’s on par or even better than the show. Which is hard, considering the writers for the books produced and even wrote the screenplays for the show.
As someone who shares a line of work with Bobby Draper and many other characters, the military jargon and quips are also spot on. Never have I heard such accurate lingo and expression in sci-fi.
The Expanse may be the best bit of sci-fi I have ever had the joy to watch and read.
Reading this felt like the computer version of whatever the SAW movies are.
Torture porn? It’s so repugnant but I want more.
Average 3rd Age user of 2nd age artefacts.
To be fair the body thing was the first branch Davidians that broke ties with the seven day Adventist Church. By the time David Koresh took power the splinter religion would see two more leadership changes.
It’s weird but the Branch Davidians /=/ David Koresh’s Branch Davidians.
It’s explained in the first 5ish minutes of this video.
That they are. I just found them recently. They’re certainly out of my usual wheelhouse but I’ve really been enjoying a lot of old folk and country. This kinda bridges the gap perfectly.
It means it gives off middle child vibes. What more do you want?
People round these parts say the day first, then the month. Anything else is attention seeking middle child vibes.
You may really enjoy Bridge City Sinners then!
They do mostly Bluegrass/Folk but they have this metal vibe to a lot of their stuff. Their vocalist is fantastic and the song I linked feels like I’d be in the middle of a Cowboy Saloon barfight.
$3.94 CAD/2.74 USD at food basics in rural Ontario.
$2 for 12 eggs from a friend’s chickens.
No. But 2024, the 25th of July is clumsy both spoken and written.
July 25th, 2024 is okay but gives off middle child vibes.
25th of July, 2024 is ordered small to big, rolls off the tongue and when written nicely seperates both sets of numbers for ease of readability.
The only other alternative I will accept is Julian dates. Today is Day 26 of 2025.
Don’t you mean: “Right there! Stop you, I’m going to.”
Yoda-ass date structure.
What day, of what month, of what year is it? It’s ordered by importance dammit!
Such a great video. Such a great channel too.
Éowyn probably.
You misunderstand the hubris of the Ford government.
It’s a full removal of lanes that were recently put in because they believe adding them worsened traffic despite evidence showing the contrary.
