The Eudaemons were a small group headed by graduate physics students J. Doyne Farmer and Norman Packard at the University of California Santa Cruz in the late 1970s.[1] The group's immediate objective was to find a way to beat roulette using a concealed computer, with the ulterior motive of using the money made from roulette to fund a scientific community. The name of the group was inspired by the eudaimonism philosophy. .... As a science experiment, the group's objective was accomplished: to prove that there was a way of predicting where a ball would fall in a roulette wheel given input data about the timing of the passage of the ball relative to the wheel.

A previous wearable roulette computer had been built and used in a casino by Edward O. Thorp and Claude Shannon in 1960–1961, though it had only been used briefly.[2][3]

Not one official who was elected in 2020 at the state legislature level called for invalidating their own election and recounting their race.

And one county in Arizona that was considering hand counting, a county that voted overwhelmingly across the board for the party attempting to overturn the election, looked at the practicality of a hand count and decided it was too expensive and problem prone. https://www.naco.org/news/numbers-stack-against-hand-count-m...

In any case, the idea that these ballots can be accurately hand counted is absurd. In some of the hand count examples in the states mentioned in the article only one or two races on ballots with 10's of races were recounted and even those recounts were problematic.

What's really telling is that none of the people elected in 2020 or 2022 or 2024 at the state legislature level are calling for recounts of THEIR races. Machines are fine when the right party wins.

Machines are the only way to deal with a ballot with 60 races. There are other parameters that could be put in place to help improve people's faith in the system. San Francisco makes ballot images available via a web portal. It's entirely possible that an AI model could be trained to rapidly recount any and all of the races to validate the official results. Tighter ID requirements would be OK, it's 2025 and even people in the hills and reservations should have IDs.

In modern times most of this type of work is done by a machine. Possibly human run but a machine so trench digger, auger, backhoe, etc.. (or with the ax, a sawsall, circular saw, chainsaw, etc..) With the result being there are a few shovels for sale in, say, Home Depot, most made in China, and, although most construction companies and landscapers have some shovels they're mostly for situations where a machine can't reach or can't do a fine enough job.

   I owned a number of 2001 CNG Chevy Cavaliers around 2010, purchased through govt. surplus auctions.  Their tanks were 3600 PSI.  The tanks were certified for 15 years with no recertification.  Nothing would stop working but they would no longer be certified.  The tank would get hot while filling so I imagine the fatigue from many cycles of heating up was one factor in the certification period.  Internal corrosion is another factor.  If the natural gas compressor farm does not dry the compress gas then moisture will get into the tank and over many years will corrode the tank.  There's a video out there of a CNG tank explosion at a fueling station somewhere in South America.  No doubt metal fatigue plus corrosion contributed to that failure.   
   So 10,000 PSI for hydrogen is a lot of pressure to be transporting around in a vehicle for multiple years of heating / cooling and possible corrosion.
