That's not bad pricing wise. There's very very little prosumer gear that's multi gigabit and it's all much higher price, or it's just a PC with several NICs.

If and when we move to hyperfibre this is going to be pretty high up on the list.

Lots of places also have variable limit signs that get updated based on traffic, accidents etc.

Here in NZ those seem to all be marked on the speed limit maps as 100km/h even if in some places the signs never go above 80.

Ngauranga Gorge is one such location and I believe has the country's highest grossing speed camera.

The question seems open to interpretation (which is bad for surveys like this).

If I visit a location that was the site of a mass shooting a few years later, have I been "physically present on the scene of a mass shooting"?

I think you could reasonably answer yes: you've been to the physical place where it happened, even if not at the time it happened.

You're probably not going to save 95% of the trees given the major earthworks likely needed for managing sewage, stormwater, and other utilities. You'll probably save most of them, though.

40k looks pretty optimistic for the size and number of buildings, too.

IR thermometers aren't particularly accurate. Especially when pointed at reflective surfaces like glass, where some of the return will actually be reflected heat coming from you.

Most wall thermostats are designed to read the temperature of the air; the wall behind may be warmer or colder.

Advertisements are now everything but visual. Sounds, smells, tastes, touch, the way the pavement vibrates as a train goes past...

This is why it's important to operate with enough available reserves (fast and slow) to cover the unexpected loss of your biggest generator, transformer, and/or transmission line.

Their black start procedures are going to be getting a good workout; I hope they're well tested.

It's been a long time since I played, but king+queen+bishop should be pretty achievable?
