Manslaughter is _always_ less severe than murder because it wasn't intentional. It's not worth cutting an additional life out of society (and making them an additional cost to society) just for vengeance's sake if there's no risk of a repeat crime and there's remorse.

Or Mint!

You have to be careful though since many of these programs (such as CPS energy's) don't set a specific temperature. They just raise your thermostat so many degrees. So if you are like me and already (or for voluntary conservation) set your thermostat to 78 it gets bumped to something like 82 which is quite uncomfortable.

Yeah, losing focus while a robot drives is impressively easy even if you know you need to watch for safety. For some reason it's just so easy to trust them once they work even for just a little bit. It's part of the reason "level 3" robotic vehicles won't pan out.

Can also confirm about the zero turn mowers. Recently switched jobs from automating cars/tanks to mowers myself. At the very minimum mowers have way tighter power and space constraints plus hydros are not easy to control well automatically.

What models? I'm curious because my father is looking for a hill mower and most tracked ones I can find don't actually say their max slope which makes me think it's about the usual 15-20 degrees.

Being tracked only really solves the traction part of the equation so they aren't necessarily any better at navigating slopes safely than a wheeled mower.

The cost varies by cut width (44" is quite a bit cheaper) but yeah, it's very commercial oriented. It's intended for people who need to mow difficult slopes day in and day out.

I'm not aware of really anything capable intended for homeowners besides a good ol' push mower.
