MemesWhat's all this copper in? That's a large motor-worth of copper.
That's not the Floki I remember :)
Contains like $100 in batteries which have no theft registry and are easily rewrapped at a vape shop. Also often an rpi or other general purpose SBC so $300 isn't far off. Some even have nice separate camera
Why would you use grams for gold (as you should) but then switch to pounds for copper. Are you a lunatic?
907.184 grams of copper, happy now? Lol not quite a kilo going from metric to imperial sounds about on par for USA and I think england does that too
The US usually consistently uses imperial, which sucks but it's consistent. England switches between the two constantly. They're crazy people, and they use measures like "stone" for weight sometimes too. Metric is obviously the better system, but consistency is better than randomly deciding which to use when.
Consistently. Like the 500mL bottle of water I'm currently drinking in coastal Alabama?
Like the 2 and 3L sodas sold in stores all across the USA as far back as I can remember? I'm about a month and a half away from 50 years old btw.
Or maybe like how all our drugs medicines, over the counter, and yes, even the illegal ones, are all in milligrams or grams?
Or our military using kilometers to measure distance across land, although calling it a klick because it's faster to say than kilometer?
Or how most of our weapons are measured in millimeters?
That sort of consistency?
Our smallest unit of weight is the ounce, which is 28g, and as much as Americans hate metric, we hate fractions more.
Unless it's drugs.
All my favorite drugs come in fractions. Specifically 1/8ths and 1/4ths.
Under an eighth you switch to grams. But in my experience the professionalization of cannabis seems to be metricating it.
The US is slowly, item by item, learning metric. We know how much a liter is from soda. We're learning how much a gram is from drugs, and before too long something will teach us what a meter is.
3.5, 7, easy
It's funny that Europeans complain about Americans being dumb but also can't comprehend converting units of measurement.
We could, but why should we? I can easily switch between grams, kilograms and tonnes. Hell I can tell you that 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram. I am not going to deal with gallons per square inch of pounds
And Americans know a pint's a pound.
Sterling? Not since the 90s
Well you know, the full saying is "a pint's a pound the world around, except the UK where it's several quid, and really mostly in the US, Liberia, and Myanmar"
2lbs seems... like a lot for those small things.
Clearly some science is in order.
It's hyperbole in an attempt to weaponize methheads. But yeah, go grab a few and test it, maybe we weaponize meme skeptics too.
"Flock cameras contain over 300USD of precious metals, prove me wrong"
I love it.
We’re gonna need a large sample size, so better test at least a dozen cameras, just to be sure.
Maybe its all a heatsink or something
Yowza really makes it
2 lbs copper in a doorbell?
Edit: Ah, not a doorbell. Traffic cams. *Gets sawzall
2lbs of copper in suped-up traffic cameras.
No
My concern is once it comes off the pole. You will no doubt have to take it home to extract. Does it not have a way of being tracked?
IFixit teardown when?
Just wrap it in tin foil. It'll be fine
I'm not ruining a perfectly good hat for some gimmick
Smash it and pull out the battery
If they want to tackle this problem they could add a separate low power tracker embedded in the body somewhere. Prolly not doing it yet but if they do you'd have to know where it is to cut it out.
