Auto-rotation story! Did anyone see the Robin William's movie "Insomnia" ? It's set in Alaska but was filmed in BC. In the movie, murderer Robin Williams has a cabin on the shore of a lake. There wasn't enough shore for the movie so they trucked in a bunch of gravel to make a gravel beach.  Here's the location on google maps  My neighbour was transporting a group of geologists when he suddenly had a total engine failure, right above the glacier. You can't put down on a glacier, it's covered in crevasses that could swallow a 747. All around him was tree covered hills and mountain. But he had recently watched Insomnia and knew they filmed it in the area and someone had told him the tid bit about the gravel beach. Based mostly on his knowledge of the movie and area he pushed his helicopter as far as it could auto-rotate to clear the death-trap glacier as was able to land quite nicely on the gravel beach, which was loose enough to cushion the landing. Everyone was fine and they hiked up to the highway to be rescued. This is my funny story about how Robin William's murder cabin saved my neighbour and a bunch of geologists.

Dunno if  or what but it's probably less about flawlessly committing crimes and more about stuff like billboards that use facial recognition to serve you personalized ads and other cyberpunk dystopian poo poo like that.

It's really black faces that really gently caress most modern systems up, for reasons that are not well-understood.

If you had a pair of glasses that have infra-red LEDs in them, does that defeat the cameras by blurring your face in a pool of intense light only the camera can see? Clearly if you're doing this, they'll send some Krankenstyle posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1alUMl2kGI Best one of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJlcjMgbo9w

I don't know if your grandparents subjected you to the Lawrence Welk Show like mine did, but there were some really unintentionally hilarious things to come from that show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye3ecDYxOkg The goody two-shoes delivery kills me every time.
