A prank gone wrong...

A California hacker got vanity license plates "NULL". First he had problems renewing the plates.

After getting one valid parking fine, he's now gotten over $12K in parking fines due to software at a billing company. He's still fighting the invalid fines.

@PakkonenCT @adam Using Safari on some of these sites I just click on reader view & bypass the notice.

A nice explanation why 5G can interfere with weather forecasts...
https://www.wired.com/story/5g-networks-could-throw-weather-forecasting-into-chaos/
Basically, the frequency proposed for 5G in the US (24 GHz) is close to the emission frequency measured for water vapor. Other frequencies that could cause problems are 36 GHz (rain), 50 GHz (temperature), and 80 GHz (ice). I am somewhat surprised use of these frequencies aren't banned by international treaty.

Homeless in Denver camping in front of an office

The business owner came to work last Friday to find homeless people blocking his front door and the cops say they can't do anything about it. Needless to say he is considering a new location.

@jeremiah Pounds per day - generally four (or just under 30000), though backpackers get by with half that with freeze dried food.
Tooth to tail (combat vs non-combat) varies by branch of military but has steadily grown over the years. Was 2% non-combat through 1800's. It changed to 2:1 in WWI, roughly 1:1 at the end of WWII, 1:2 in Korean War etc. By the way, a fighter pilot can have 10 people supporting him and the aircraft.
The caravan is likely a scourge on the communities it passes through.

Well - with the help of a shipping container, wood chips, and some plumbing they can get up to 2000 liters of water per day for $40 each day.
