No. Satellite tracking of roof movement.

That is some deep s^%t right there. Even more nightmarish and intrusive than I even imagined. I wonder if they do heat imaging of people as well as facial recognition to identify possible flu victims?

No. Satellite tracking of room movement.

No - that’s 100% true - but ROOF, not room. Use it every day. Based on time of day/year and lat/long, you can tell how tall a tank is by its shadow to give you volume (you can measure area of top easily enough by analytics). Then you want to measure % full. When the tank is full the roof floats to the top and you have almost no shadow On the roof. When it empties and floats down, you can measure how far down by measuring the size of and shale of the eclipse and accounting for time of year, time of day, and lat/long. That gives you a decent estimate of volume. This isn’t perfect. You can’t see every tank every day. And there is underground storage you miss. But it’s pretty sweet.

Shipping cargoes can be tracked as well. Combine customs docs/bills of lading, ship beacons, and satellites.

I said that because I doubt you turning off your location function actually does anything... other than gives the user a false sense of security. Kind of like that button at the corner/intersection that says "press button to cross".

I knew what you’re getting at. And I don’t know if it does anything but it’s easy enough to do if it does matter. That’s all I was trying to reply.

I was a pipeline operator for a short time and used to go one top of those floating roofs at the tank farm in Atlanta. Keeps the gases down.

They were recommended shut down a long time ago as they are considered even higher infection risks than surgeons.

that wasnt my question.

I can’t imagine digging around in someone’s mouth with a pandemic taking place .i think I’d change professions .

That's crazy. Feel like my world just got a LOT smaller for some reason.

 

[West Vol]

that wasnt my question.

I wouldn’t know where to find that information and I doubt anyone is really trying that hard to backtrack this stuff in the hotspots, but the majority have been shut down for a month or so now, so it would have been early on if so.

We have had 2 critical that came in with elevated liver panels pre hydrochloroquine. Looking at their vital signs they had a low flow state for a period of time. The one we lost was already in MODS and didn't receive HCQ.

You're most likely correct. Sepsis.

Just wait until they put that SMART meter on your home. They will turn off your HVAC unit in the summertime for you to prevent you from using too much energy.

Save some for the rest of us, McDad...

Some remain open. Don't know if exempt for one reason or another.

Anybody who is open and rendering any type of patient care is going above and beyond the call of duty to be aseptic and sterile. I haven't heard of any independent health care office being investigated as possibly spreading the virus. And, I kinda feel like if it were proven it would be front page news.

McDad isn't putting smart anything in his home. I don't have Alexa, either.

It wigs me out when McRib and I are casually talking about something and ads for that thing appear on our phones a day or two later.

Why not??? Especially in a "hotspot".

They already are on that track in some parts of Southern California, You are allowed to you so much a day to help prevent rolling black outs then they fine you if you go over . It’s a hefty fine too I believe it was like $500 ( not positive but I think it was )

 

[TennTradition]

For the record I’m not doing any of that math. The company we purchase the access from goes through and tags each tank (satellite image analysis helps them find them) and then does the data processing. We just click ‘See Inventory’ and pick the countries of interest.

I then go and do my math with the resulting numbers.

Thank you ! Amen ! We talk about that all the time .

I'm sorry (see how easy it is McRib?). I missed what you do for a living. You process data for what, exactly?

This isn't true. Please tell me this is an urban legend.

 

[0nelilreb]

No it’s true or it was . I can’t say for positive it is true today , I know it was true last year because I heard our friends in the other chat talking about it . They live just off of Huntington Beach . I don’t know what electric company that would be there . They were allow so much then they had to shut things off to avoid going over and being fined .

Pretty sure they are all closed here.

They may be open, but it would be emergency only. Otherwise they’d be taking on a lot of risk... In Tennessee it’s emergency only by law.

As far as going above and beyond with infection control... You can’t really disinfect the air and that’s the big concern when you’re blasting microbes out of a patient’s mouth.

 

[West Vol]

Why not??? Especially in a "hotspot".

Because there are probably multiple possible routes of exposure.

Soon (if not already here).

Only now, I think all they can do is shut off power to your entire house. In the future, they will have access to each circuit in your home and could "select" particular circuits or breakers to trip/turn off. So they probably will "trip" your HVAC breaker in the summer but leave the breaker for your fridge alone. But, if that fridge starts to trend upward with higher usage, that might trigger a letter from the power company. Either that means your fridge needs servicing or replacement or your fridge is increasingly using more energy as time goes on for some other reason. Possibilities are endless...

The power company here is already dying to put one of their “smart” thermostats in every home. They can control it to balance supply and demand.

I always tell them hell no.
