Gotta respect Bobby for taking a line post rather than expediting.

Can anyone recommend a good electrician that is licensed and independent (i.e. doesn't work for a firm)? I need a 220V outlet installed and I am getting outrageous quotes from some of the firms, like 2x-3x what I think it should cost.

TL;DR: Cardinals are 30th out of 32 teams

How is it reasonable that a low yardage penalty like offsides can offset an entire high yardage penalty like a facemask by the opposing team? Shouldn't the opposing team be charged 10 yards instead of 15, rather than getting away with it 100%?

I recently took a trip from Arizona to Redlands, CA, on I-10 then to San Diego then back home via I-8. On the trip out, once I got past Blythe, Waze gave me a notification about police about a half mile ahead. It counted down the distance to 350 feet, then put the distance back to 0.6 miles. If I dismissed the notice it came right back up. It did this over and over again all the way to near Indio, and there were never any police.

Everything was fine on the trip to San Diego, but on the trip back it repeatedly gave me warnings, object on road, car stopped on shoulder, sometimes just "hazard," etc. In some cases it did the distance count down then set distance back to 0.6 mi, like reported above. Again, the specified hazard was only there once or twice out of 20 or 30 notifications. Unlike for the police warnings above, once I dismissed the notifications they wouldn't come back. All this stopped once I crossed into Arizona.

One thing I noticed is that there was never a marker on the map for these fake notifications like there usually is for valid ones.

I've used Waze since it first came out and have never seen it behave like this. Anyone else have this problem or know what was going on?

A friend wants to meet there for early dinner on Saturday. I heard horror stories about the crowds and lines when it first opened. Have things settled down any?

Now that the Flock contract will be cancelled I'm curious whether there is any kind of such system, even if it doesn't exist yet, that people would find acceptable.

These things do have benefits, like helping track stolen cars or bank robbers or missing people. It's just that the way they're designed invites surveillance/privacy abuse.

Suppose there was a system that records video of cars going by and keeps the video for some period (like a few days), erasing older recordings. Unlike Flock, Axon, et al., it does not automatically recognize license plates in real time..

Instead, (only) when some legit investigation is authorized, it reads plates from the stored video to find vehicles of interest. But in doing so it does not store info from all the other vehicles in a persistent database.

Would you be OK with that?

I thought Lefleur's haltime comments were faint praise. But c'mon 15/19 for 188 yards, including several long/key plays? As the TV commentators noted, he passed the "look test." He looked like an NFL QB. Even a franchise QB.

Yesterday evening, i requested a Waymo (Phoenix area). It booked my ride and gave me an arrival time for the car. Then like a minute later the app said my ride was cancelled because they were having trouble finding a car. So I requested again and had the same thing happen again. I gave up and got a Lyft.

This has neveer happened to me before with Waymo. Anyone else?

Why didn't they know there were no cars before booking my ride?

Hey look everybody, they're coming to protect our civil rights! 🙄

JFC why can't these guys keep it in their pants? Too bad he's not a Republican. Thus would be a badge of honor. 🙄

I was expecting an episode this week, but nada.

Does anyone know of a good guide to Chancler City Council candidates and their positions on issues? Chandler News did something I saw a few weeks ago, but they didn't ask all the candidates the same questions, which made it impossible to compare them.

I was thinking of trading up my '21 R4P for a '26. People on this sub warned me not to, saying there are always lots of problems, recalls, etc., with the first model year of a new gen.

Does anyone know if that's been the case with the '26? Honestly I've not heard much about it at all.
