  • Bloody hell, why aren't the Democrats doing everything they can to kick DeJoy out?? What a travesty.

  • Beautiful, IMO. And look at all that sunny ground, could have a big solar field there too.

    And the solar field could foster a good shade-plant field that would grow and anchor the sandy ground with their roots, holding groundwater, also providing cover for small wildlife.

  • Might be a good post for /c/LeopardsAteMyFace

    How did religious people ever think he wasn't just wrapping himself in the garb of piety to get elected? He was on tape talking about grabbing women by the pussy because 'when you are famous they just let you do it'! Before the LAST time he was elected. Sheesh.

    And... Scientology, on the issue of tax exempt status, really? Wow. Criminals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Snow_White

  • The cameras worked by constantly recording even before the “record” button was pressed, periodically deleting any footage that hadn’t been intentionally recorded. Once the “record” button was pressed by the officer, it would capture the 30 seconds before the button had been pressed, thanks to this method of constantly being on standby.

    But it was a hard concept for cops to understand. They weren’t being properly trained on the fact that their own cameras didn’t start recording once they pressed record. Hitting that button saved the 30 seconds prior as well, a neat feature that really bit them in the ass.

    Maybe bodycams should randomly record even when the RECORD button isn't pressed by an officer; and the pre-record time should be random from say 2 minutes to 30 seconds before. And the recording should stop a random 30-60 seconds AFTER they hit 'STOP'. So they never know when they're being recorded. If they're not pulling illegal shit, they shouldn't have any problem with that, right?

    In fact, with storage capabilities nowadays, bodycams should ALWAYS be recording, period. Gotta go to the bathroom? Too damn bad. You're a public servant. Trust the auditors to redact that if it comes to a court subpoena. You signed up for it. Extraordinary powers come with extraordinary sacrifices.

    Jeebus Chripes. No wonder so many people say ACAB.

  • Aww would be a shame if a pole a few blocks up just 'failed' for some reason. :/ The cat could co-incidentally be free to climb down or be rescued during the totally unexpected outage!

  • I played Total Annihilation many years ago w/friends at a LAN party... good times (I always sucked at it, the name described my fate well :P)

    Looks fun!

  • ICE - Incubation Centre Epidemic

  • Good.

  • Let everyone you know that mail-in ballots are still an option... but educate them that they must bring the ballot to the post office IN PERSON, and ask the postal staff to post-mark it IN FRONT OF THEM. I have read (please correct me if I'm wrong!) that works around the recent regulation change that allows dropped-off post to be stamped when it's delivered, instead of when it's first dropped off, which is a rat-fucking tactic to increase the likelihood of ballots being marked late, knowing they'll probably take many days from drop-off to delivery.

  • The US is cooked, if city police keep aligning WITH the fascists; this guy obviously will not side with the people if given a choice. If he's OK with ICE wearing masks then he obviously isn't going to be willing to arrest them for any valid reason.

    Mayors need to start forcing their chiefs of police to sign documents explicitly resolving to protect the people of their city over and above ICE staff or any masked federal force, or fire them if they refuse. Make them take a side and replace them if their side is not on the citizens of their city.

  • Good point. Sigh.

  • No argument there. :(

  • To those putting on their dancing shoes... there's no point. He already did all the damage. Short of going back in time nothing will fix what he's done. Unfortunately.

  • ... and if this has legs, it makes this even more suspicious!

    Why seal papers relating to UBS' acquisition for 50 frigging years??

  • Sheesh, they're that desperate for supplies are they? Poor owl.

  • Good point. Mechanical means are safest and simplest.

  • Fuck 'AI'. That is all.

  • Oh no, my very sharp keys fell hard onto that screen, tragically cracking it.

    Wait, that might look obvious from security cameras. I'm sure there's a substance one could (accidentally) discreetly smear onto it that would destroy the display.

  • Sorry you're right, number MUST GO UP /s.

    sigh.
