Executive order exempting all religions from state mandates will be signed just as soon as the appropriate bribes donations are received.

And when the labor output performed by slave prison labor pales in comparison to that of the migrants they replace, then what? Whips & hot boxes to encourage them to work faster?

Some are actually put on display like a trophy by the police or military group that captured it.

Not entirely sure what the policy is for these sorts of things, but I do know various countries Coast Guards and Navies will use abandoned boats, lifeboats, etc. for target practice. It actually serves a couple of purposes, including live fire training. It also ensures the boat will sink, which means other boats won’t spot it, call it in, and cause an unnecessary search & rescue operation all over again for the same vessel. It’s also far safer for the crews to just sink it than it is to tow it. And if they’re busy towing one of these in then it means hours or even days where they can’t be out patrolling and responding to emergencies, etc.

Having said all that I could see them wanting to keep a sub like this since it’s demonstrating a new tactic. Investigators might want to take a close look at how it’s put together. If it wasn’t for that then I could see them just scuttling it after they recovered any drugs (not that there were any in this case).

Among other things, since moving to a more rural part of our state, we have uncovered these items that I assume the previous owners dumped in the woods around us:

• A 1960-ish era chainsaw
• A car battery
• Rusty pipe
• Jugs full of what looks like motor oil
• Empty plastic bottles
• A large roll of some sort of material like landscaping cloth that is overrun with moss & roots now.
• A rechargeable battery for power tools
• What appears to be the bed cover for a pickup truck
• Loads of other smaller plastic scraps

Lastly, the official instance is behind cloudflare, so all your login credentials are going to CF before it reaches piefed servers. CF is most likely tracking users too. This is a no-go if you give a shit about privacy. But with a CDN, yes it connects faster.

I honestly don’t get why people always complain about this. The exact same thing can be said of the CDN services provided by Akamai, Amazon (AWS), Google, Microsoft, Fastly, and every other CDN in existence. If you don’t trust CDN’s then you should stop using the internet since most major sites use one CDN or another.

If you really want to be paranoid about your data being sniffed then you should be more concerned about companies that use services like SiteSpect. They basically operate as a MITM on your unencrypted data between the CDN provider and your origin, and their tools are specifically designed to modify that content.

In 1960 the US DEW Line mistakenly thought the Soviet Union had launched a nuclear strike when it detected the moon rising. Luckily cooler heads prevailed when the radar operators quickly realized both the reported launch locations and target locations were crescent shapes and moving east to west as the moon rose.

Except:

• When mud, snow, bug splatters, etc. blinds a camera I can very likely still see perfectly fine out of clear part of the windshield. I can move my eyes, the camera can’t move.
• Sun glare will blind some cameras (even side cameras) when it’s low in the sky. The same sun wont bother me at all.
• I’ve seen the cameras get tricked by things in front of it like a trailer full of tree branches & other landscaping debris that hangs over the back and obscures the brake lights & license plate.

Yeah, but can I also occasionally hallucinate like many AI’s apparently do?

Reminds me of a certain former POTUS who argued “it depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is”…

It’s pretty easy to clear out a collapsed tunnel compared to completely rebuilding an underground facility full of high tech equipment.

I have a nephew that worked at Tesla as a software engineer for a couple years (he left about a year ago). I gave him the VIN to my Tesla and the amount of data he shared with me was crazy. He warned me that one of my brake lights was regularly logging errors. If their telemetry includes that sort of information then clearly they are logging a LOT of data.

The 3 day special operation is proceeding just as planned.

If I lived in an area where these thugs were operating and was concerned for my safety I’d consider carrying something like This long before I’d consider glitter. Let these thugs explain to family & friends why their faces look like blue/purple raccoon masks.

My grandfather was a James. He went by Pete.

Even if they don’t have any nukes that they developed themselves, there’s always the possibility they could’ve bought one or two from North Korea…

There is no vaccine for Lyme that’s available to the public. Hopefully there will be one soon though. My wife and I have been volunteering for a Lyme vaccine trial for the past two years.

Changing a 120v line over to 240 is likely also against code even if the physical cable can handle it. 120V cable is typically white/black/green, and the electrical code prohibits using the white one as a hot leg. That’s why 240V cable of the same AWG is red/black/green. The red & black legs both carry 120V.

#1 is a terrible idea if you ever need to hire an electrician in the future, plan on selling your house, etc. The National Electric Code prohibits using white, green, or grey wire for a hot/load connection. The 120V cable will contain a black wire for the hot connection, white for neutral, and green for ground. To properly convert it to 240V you would need a cable that consists of black & red wires for the two 120V legs.

If your home ever suffered an electrical fire then this sort of jury rigging is precisely the sort of thing any competent insurance inspector would spot, and insurance carriers would deny coverage for since it clearly isn’t code compliant, which means a licensed electrician didn’t install it and it wasn’t properly inspected.
