But thing is, I think you want something that live uploads to the cloud. 

what? no. you don't want this.

most of the footage is inherently useless and will never be viewed, so you'd be paying a recurring fee for bandwidth/storage for nothing. i don't even think such a thing exists on the consumer side.

99.999999% of dashcams on the market just write to a microsd card until they fill up and then start overwriting the oldest footage. in the event something bad happens, the footage is still sitting on there because it hasn't been overwritten yet. you pop the sdcard and grab whatever you need. some of them have smartphone apps that let you call up/record the footage straight from the app, but obviously, those cost a little more. they leverage wifi to do this, not a cellular plan.

justin - you probably want one of viofo's offerings. their product stack has cheaper offerings or expensive offerings depending on what you need. i suggest looking at vortex radar on youtube as he reviews them and has no problems calling them out when they do something stupid.

he also has a website

Oh good, another thread has devolved into a libs vs conservatives argument.

You probably saw a few that were too. That's the difference made.

i don't get my news from random social media posts, so no i didn't see any "faked" headlines. just shitty headlines from big news organizations.

Trying to figure out if this was a fake or if this was what CNN actually put up.

What difference does it make? There were a bunch of bad headlines like this when things were unfolding. Media outlets refused to call it a shooting for like an hour.

USAToday was still posting stuff hastily as of last night when I went to bed. they had a blatant misspelling of "assassination" on their homepage.

it's not some grand scheme to make the situation look a certain way... they were just moving fast and producing shitty journalism.

Election over, he’s winning going away from whoever he’s against.

totally. i was on the fence about which geriatric i wanted to vote for but now that one got shot the choice is obvious.

I find it interesting that virtually nobody opted to run for cover. They all just sat there and/or got out their phones to record what was going on. One jackass down front immediately turned around and started showboating for the camera

no

I will be voting for Cletus

I was going to comment that if they really want you then they should be offering 10-30% more than you currently make. 10% if the benefits are that much better, 30% if not. Taking a pay cut is never a great plan unless there are other work life balance things (travel, working remote, etc) that come into play.

Government role, salary is the salary and they don't have any wiggle room. There were other non-financial perks which were pulling me towards taking it. I'm at peace with my decision to turn it down.

Got offered today and decided to accept. I still have mixed feelings overall, but it was a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. At least now I can say I gave it a chance.

My takehome pay will take a 7-10% ding but I'll get much better benefits in return. Time will tell if it winds up being worth it in the long run.

Slept on it, woke up feeling completely different. Turned down the offer and will keep looking.

I hope you get your chair fixed.

Had an interview on Friday. Left with mixed feelings. Don't know if I will accept if offered.

I did submit a ticket, luckily I bought it early enough that it has a 5-year warranty instead of the currently offered 2-year warranty. They asked for pictures and should be sending a replacement. 

what broke?

I bought a used Aeron for $500.

Pristine condition. Probably stolen. 

$400-500 is about the rate for a used Aeron. it's probably just a chair from a liquidated company

Any Kyle Filipowski thoughts?
