Theoretically, yes. In practice that is a lot of work. Depending on how accurate you want your street view to be, GPS alone might not be enough. You'd need to add inertial data as well and probably some post processing to get your trajectory down to a few meters. Otherwise each set of pictures might have 10 or 20 meters of horizontal error in their positions.

TLDR mobile mapping is hard. Source: I work in GNSS validation.

Yeah it's not that the dems to such a great job either. But Republicans in particular have this reputation because they always go on and on about vets and the military. Then when it comes time to actually do something about it, the party as a whole seems to (usually) drag their feet.

More money for the military industrial complex? No worries. Better care for vets? Well hold on now, we have other priorities first.

It's pretty clear that it's more of a talking point that it is a real issue for many Republican politicians. But yeah it's not all on one party for sure

This makes a lot of sense combined with the previous comment about location. I grew up in cold, high latitude location and I love 3000k lights. 5000-6000k just reminds me of bright sunlight reflecting off the snow and the florescent lights used in schools. 3000k reminds me of sitting by a warm fire. Cozy

Dimmers don't work by limiting the number of watts. They work by reducing the AC voltage going to the lights. That's how you can dim a 100W incandescent and a 10W LED with the same dimmer switch.

That's also why some LEDs are not dimmable. They need the circuitry required to convert lower "dimmed" AC voltage to the right DC voltage so the light dimms as expected.
