That's ~$475US at 2016 exchange rates and actually a bargin when compared to an iPhone 7.

Well, considering that the iPhones in general are overhyped, overpriced garbage, that's not a good comparison.

The homeless guy I'm aquanted with has a 5s with a cracked screen as his emergency backup. Overpriced and overhyped: yes. Unreliable: most certainly not.Well, considering that the iPhones in general are overhyped, overpriced garbage, that's not a good comparison.
...I gotta admit, I find that pretty strange to the point where I actually bluescreened for a moment.

Random stuff like that is sorta standard for the Google Maps satellite view.
I once looked up an address to get an overhead view and noticed that my car was in the parking lot and that I was visible in the image walking towards a building at around 2:30-3:00PM during a 2021 August Wednesday.
The reason I know this is because part of the parking lot had just been re-blacktopped and was drying so there were no lines indicating where the parking spaces are.
What that comes down to is, "This is specialized professional office equipment, it is priced for what architectural offices are willing to pay for necessary infrastructure." Keep in mind that a small to medium sized office would typically only have one or two such blueprint printers/plotters for the entire office.

Line up 100 random American guys and I'll be taller than about 71-72 of them.

That's unlike basketball ... where you keep playing overtimes until the score isn't tied at the end of an overtime or one team runs out of players.
I've seen the latter happen. That was a bunch of Jr. HS girls playing each other to a 14 overtime 152-153 draw which ended when the ref blew the whistle, said "this is enough", and called it for the trailing team with about a minute to go in the 14th overtime because the one of the remaining four girls just committed her 5th foul.
Yes, 57 fouls in about 65 minutes - and a shitload of missed freethrows - played by 12yr old girls at a pace which made an NBA player go "You're joking? Right? You can't be serious? You're not joking. Fuck!"
Umm..ok
It always becomes about him.

To elaborate on this ...
The 2-door sports car I drive (a '99 Toyota Solara) is derived from a Toyota Camry. It outpowers a contemporary BMW three series and is large enough that my fat ass can take a nap the passenger seat while wrapped in blankets. There's also enough space in the trunk for several lawn chairs and a picnic table.
Russia didn't seem to mind taking this risk when it invaded Ukraine earlier this year.

I am not a lawyer but I have been legal counsel for someone who didn't want a public defender. Less than $1 is what I got paid and he was found to be "not guilty".

That... is not legal.

It is.
I made it very clear that I wasn't a lawyer. The Judge said that was ok because the guy I was defending was very clear about not wanting to be defended by a court appointed attorney.
EDIT: You have the right to counsel. That counsel doesn't have to be a lawyer if you don't want a lawyer.
