I am interested in how terms for accessories are reinterpreted by knitters. Consider "cowl" and "snood" and "fascinator," for example. Compare pattern names with dictionary meanings? #knitsky

Unlike many of Flock’s cameras, Flock’s Condor cameras track people, not vehicles.
The exposure highlights the fact that Flock is not just surveilling cars—it is surveilling people, and in some cases it is doing so in an insecure way.

This is how you "Wealth".
The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Some savvy broadcaster out there should do counterprogramming about the actual state of feminism, what is working, what needs improvement, with a diverse panel of smart women. It would be awesome. Anyway. I’m around.

Agree. also how on earth can the situation in the reply happen?! shouldn't it at least have a proximity sensor?
The trouble with cars that start with the push of.a Button—now all of them—is that you can walk or drive away with the keys in your pocket. In the old days, they hung from the ignition in the dash.
