Legit my face thinking about going paintball after not going paintball all week

"Even the names of the four Ministries by which we are governed exhibit a sort of impudence in their deliberate reversal of the facts. The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation".

I know its funny and witty to quote 1984, and force it to fit but I think about this one a lot more than the others that we like to throw around at things we simply do not like. By gutting funding and selectively enforcing rules, things like the EPA do effectively begin to actively work counter to their names.

Generally the Olympics fucks the home city when it leaves. Trash everywhere and tourist behaviour, lack of etiquette "I wont be here next week" types. And the infrastructure built for it.

All of it abandoned and left for the home country to figure out when it leaves. You dont want an Olympic regulation pool, track, and more, with an athlete's villa in that spot? Ah well we (the Olympic committee) fucked off after it ended so it's all yours to clean up!

I saw Margot Robbie, but i figured they'd been asked a thousand times if they were the real Margot, and even then it wouldnt have changed my interaction, so I just left it. Are they still around?

I never saw Biden, I thought his press account wod have been on bluesky

No, the company that played this, that I remember such an exact shitty hold, does. I wish I could remember the name of the company too - I hate them so much for this. The fact you get the first 7 seconds of the song a second time, followed by the pause that makes you think someone picked up has got to be the most rage-inducing thing I have ever heard.

A poorly ripped, grainy low quality mp3 that sounds vaguely like a song you heard once in some kind of office elevator plays, that is 23 seconds long, but is looped for a 30 second timer, then theres an unnaturally long pause before the "your call is important to us" message plays, completing a 1 minute time cycle.

The music starts again.

It does open the door for excuse making, and i wouldn't be surprised to find out the maker of the drones has a lobbyist "suggesting" their brand to this school and then pocketing the half million.

If this gets any visibility, I do have some familiarity with the weapon on board.

They call it a "pepper spray bomb" but more accurately pepper spray is generally not what your want because it sticks to walls. The "pepper" in the spray is an oil and imagine cleaning an oil off walls and stuff. If it gets into ventilation you will be breathing it for a week afterward.

No, what's on board these is probably Pava Powder. Think Baby Powder, but s p i c y. Pava has many of the same reactions as pepper sprays, coughing, watery eyes etc. But it works better IN enclosed areas like hallways and enclosed spaces. Prisons love this stuff for incidents bigger than like 3-5 people. It can be packed into a paintball, and works in normal paintball guns (it also comes in a 40mm grenade featuring timed release!) Pava is much easier to clean, you just have to have good ventilation, as it will dissipate normally. It also doesnt trigger allergies like pepper spray can, and all it takes is a nice shower to wash yourself of it. Its really a great choice for the intended settings in which it is often deployed.

In a mobile form like drones, I can't see the drone loading more than 10 balls due to weight, and if you've ever been paintballing you'd know 10 ain't shit. A normal paintball hopper holds about 80, and for pava powder you need to score a fair number of hits or just paint a hallway with them to reach effective saturation. If each drone can hold 20-30 maybe it becomes feasible. It only takes a couple to actually do the work, but in a prison theres nowhere to run. You sit and take that accumulation. But school hallways can be 14 feet wide or more and a shooter has access to the entire building, so any misses simply...miss and begin saturating an area the shooter is leaving.

The alarm on the drone giving the shooters position away is a great touch.

Thats the fact side of things, opinion wise? Man we will do anything but fix the problems. These drones and pava are a great uh...answer for the locale, but it doesnt answer why you have a problem you need a prison grade solution. Pava dissipates into the air and its not that hard to begin to choke on your own breath. A deployment of these will give away the positions of students in adjacent rooms to the shooter. And you can fight it (you can fight pepper pray too), it's just a matter of willpower to fight through choking air. It also guarantees a shooter will attempt to relocate in the building to outrun the pava clouds. Unless theres a way to quickly reload these drones in their ceiling mounts, the low ammo count is going to get them to fire around the halls, and will be more of a deterrent and could be effective at getting a shooter to stay away from populated rooms than actually subduing them and getting them to surrender. The alarm however i like at face value acting as a clear warning for where the shooter is at that moment. A drone following the shooter giving their position away is a fantastic solution if we aren't going to address actual shootings.

7/10 nonlethal solution, with some side effects. I like the idea but the obvious workarounds like a mask, and causing entire rooms to start coughing and alerting the shooter to empty/full rooms, on top of the shooter wildly taking shots at the ceiling to kill an alarming drone causes a host of additional issues. For the pricetag the school could hire like 3 off-duty cops who do their job when a shooter arrives. So thats also a factor. We could also like...address mental health issues or access to firearms but this is America where we pray for evil things to stop rather than actually adressing it so, that wasn't an answer anyway
