    so didn't bring up PA at all or that we ALL miss him terribly here and want him back!!

    caring about someone means putting what THEY need

    ahead of what you want ....

    so that's what i did ...

    instead? i asked him:

    Professor Neil Ferguson Called A "F****** Murderer"


    Professor Neil Ferguson (known commonly as 'Professor Lockdown' and a former member of SAGE guilty of advising the government on their criminal policy of unconstitutional lockdowns) is challenged by an attendee at the King's College Sowerby Lecture.

    Professor Ferguson was seemingly previously caught breaking the lockdown diktats that he himself advised upon, in order to copulate with another man's wife.

    So, these symbols have appeared on a stretch of highway in our small town and elsewhere around here. Lots of local folks speculating on what they mean. Some say they are for GPS markings, others think they are drone targets, some claim they are for when 5G is turned on...

    Anyone have any idea of what this symbol might mean?

    definitely no to 5g or GPS... those are excellent visual markers for movement/timing, reminds me of the stuff they used to gauge when to blow up IED's in the middle east, though theirs was usually just bottles on a stick stabbed into the side of the road at intervals etc.... I'd assume they are implementing some sort of areal radar for speed control or something? (even that doesn't make much sense).

    (Visual signals have nothing to do with GPS or 5g, they function off "radio waves" (microwaves really, as far as the electromagnetic spectrum is concerned))

    For sure. Those could be calibration points, for when weather affects cameras and they need to reposition them to regain full visuals of the street and incoming cars

    ETA: Potentially may be setup for Drone/UAV Lidar systems, there is a calibration routine that involves a triangle. This may be for government controlled drones

    More clarification:

    LIDAR could use something like that, but it makes no sense.... LIDAR relies on lasers bouncing off something and the time differential between the send and the bounce (aka, distance finding)... so a specific decal or indicator would be completely useless for that type of system as they are reflection based, not recognition based.


    I've been ****ing up threads lately like this, sorry... I've just worked with these systems and see the confusion surrounding them and want to clarify.

    If I were to get conspiratorial I'd say that AI is much more dependent on visual markers like this than any conventional system...... if you follow me (Drones could be a part of this, but to what end or for what purpose... well this is far out of my wheel house and I'm just talking from the bottom of a bottle of wine...)

    No i think you are right, that's why i said 'potentially'. I also thought that it could be some kind of mix between lidar and other more modern systems like the drones use these days, like there could be other markers around that no one has noticed (meant for the lidar specifically). And this one on the street looks like a "two way" marker, meaning it could be used by drones coming from both ways of the street, and there could be markers like the ones you describe, so in the case of a drone having to quickly reposition and map the zone, it could be 'potentially very helpful', see what i mean?

    So in the case a drone comes flying fast and has to remap the zone and position correctly, it would find the markers on the floor and then also find the ones on the buildings around that 'reflect' back to the lidar, then it's absolutely positioned flawlessly and around everything else on that street. Does that makes sense?

    Markings ( unlike that one ) on UK motorways have been used ( for years ) as road speed photo markers when vehicles of interest are filmed from a helicopter above. The information extracted from the chase helicopter video can be used in a law court as solid evidence of the speed of the vehicle.

    This road marking looks different but seems to also be about observation and recording from above.

    Had a complete stranger probe me yesterday where complete strangers shouldn't, lol. 
    Colonoscopy...but he was charming and attractive so that helped...not!

    Anyone who has had this knows how difficult it can be to get through swigging back 4 litres of liquid over three hours that would have been easier to do if its chemical component contained ethanol.

    Anyway, the takeaway good part was the detox...can't believe I forgot how great this makes one feel!
