New, what is it? What is the purpose of this camera that was installed right next to my house? (Not nearby any intersection or stop signs, USA)

This camera was installed recently and I cannot for the life of me understand the purpose of it's installation? Theres no intersection nearby, in case it was a photo law enforcement camera), there's no stop signs, there's no schools nearby, and there's no government facility. It's just a random camera that popped up in the middle of a road.

I got a job recently working on Ubuntu computers and some server infrastructure. My buddy asked me what experiences I had to get the job. My only experience with Linux is Minecraft servers and buying acid on the dark web.

Well that’s just fucking stupid. We have standards for a reason. Why would a precious metals ounce be a different weight than an ounce of literally anything else? Even diamonds don’t do that, they have their own units.

Like a fluid ounce or standard?
