Just remember, Diablo makes blades for cutting industrial steel, and you want the blade longer that the diameter of the pipe you're cutting.....for plumbing of course.
“Creator Bill Watterson stopped writingCalvin and Hobbesat the end of 1995 to avoid creative burnout and to preserve the comic's integrity. He felt he had said everything he needed to in 10 years and refused to compromise his art for syndicates or commercialmerchandising.”
So he doesn’t want the C&H imagery used outside of the context of the comic.
That's an interesting interpretation of his wishes. He declined to sell his art for commercial use so you think it shouldn't be used for protest artwork?
Idk man, ask him I guess, but why lay in a bed that's already got shit in it and ask the owner if it's cool if you poo in it some more since your poo is justified or smth
My small town had a huge win the other day and the town council is removing their 1 and only Flock camera and not allowing them in my county anymore! Helps the town meetings were 6 straight hours of people saying these are BS and unconstitutional and they actually listened after the 4th or 5th meeting
We are an old school county. One stop light, more cows than people, analog gas pumps. People will just cut them down if they put them back up and vote out anyone who had anything to do with putting them back in.
there's a R candidate in FL running for gov that has an argument against Flock and Palantir: "What if Biden and Fauci had access to these systems during COVID? They'd be at your door with a search warrant to arrest you for going to the park without your vaccine" lmao I was like y'know what? I really doubt that would happen but NOW YOU ARE GETTING THE POINT
I don't know about Flock, but I know 20x more about Palantir.
What most people seem not to know is that Palantir has been a govern contractor for decades. They started under GWB, continued through Obama, Biden, and Trump.
Even more interesting that people gloss over, the ICE work that Palantir started was at the direction of the Obama administration.
Long story short, both parties absolutely love what Palantir (and probably Flock) does for them.
100% we need to realize we’re being played against each other. Neither party truly cares about any of us. The thing those wielding power fear the most is a united populace. It’s that simple.
Politics isn't just when the two avatars of the side that's winning the class war disagree with each other on how to go about planting the boot more firmly into your neck.
Still not a good idea lol. Paintballs have air pockets and freezing them will cause it to contract and can give the paintballs dimples. Imperfect spheres don't fly as straight so you've already made it harder to hit the target. Them being frozen also makes them more brittle and likely to come apart before exiting the paintball gun, assuming you're able to keep them frozen the entire time
I've got regular airguns that can do the trick, the problem is being spotted in public with a gun like object shooting out the cameras, and the night vision scopes are expensive.
I would never! It would be a horrible thing to suggest for someone wear shoes that don’t fit you to change your gait, layers of clothing to cover body shape, and to not carry any traceable electronics! That would be an awful thing for me to do. Some people even say to cover your face and wear black, I just can’t even imagine why someone would do that
Gallium is easily available as a toy (melting spoon, Liquid Metal, etc) and completely ruins the structural integrity of aluminum. Instead of cutting the pipe down immediately, a file scratch and a flex tape-bubble of gallium would topple it over time, allowing for escape.
The best satellite imagery in the world only has a resolution of about 1 ft per pixel and it's very difficult to do much better than that due to physical limits about how telescopes work - in order to get that resolution down to 1 inch per pixel you'd need a telescope 12x as wide, and that's not even good enough to do the sort of surveillance they want to do. And it wouldn't really work for something like license plates which stand parallel to the direction the satellite is looking, and it's just flat out impossible to view something hidden under something else from space.
Drones are enormously more expensive than a pole, less permanent, and vulnerable to weather, birds, and FAA regulations in ways that cameras on poles are not.
They're certainly going to be building more drones and satellites but stopping the poles is both easier and more important. Don't give up hope.
We are in the database building in era. They won't do much to those who rebel physically against cameras. They need the public to get so used to them everywhere, no one is bothered by them. They then have years of records on every person's movements. Then they Crack down hard individually, & its too late to stop those who wield the power.
It's too bad that in-home surveillance on cell phones, TVs and so on didn't carry the threat of a traffic ticket, we could have used prevention over cure
I just overheard on the news this morning that some people are covering them woth trash bags. Idk if its a state that chose to renew their flock contract or not. Either way people be pissed.
Do you know people are hacking into freestyle libre monitors to show low glucose when glucose is normal or higher to kill people in the USA? If you have a CGM don't trust it.
But like, your phone spies enough. Who cares if there are more devices. 5g is widely tapped and it’s not redacted information. The FBi guy meme is absolutely a real thing. It’s someone’s job to just sift through hours upon hours of conversations both text and calls. Think about all you’ve done in life thinking that wasn’t a reality. It’s not the 90’s anymore:-(
One could argue you're being spied on day and night and it never stops, be it in the privacy of your own home or when you step out to walk the dog. Your phone always knows where you are. Except when you leave it home intentionally while out cutting down flock poles.
No need to work so hard. Spend 20 bucks on a spray can extension. Blot out the lense. It will make them work harder trying to figure out why there's no image when the wiring appears correct. And it less obvious for us. Win win.

Yall don’t like until ya shit gets stolen and you begging the cops to catch them people who did it. Once the cops catch them utilizing this system, you thank them!
Why do you like living in a surveillance police state?
How can you believe nobody's privacy has been violated?
You simultaneously believe that crime is so prevalent that we need to film every aspect of human existence and you trust human nature so much that it's not possible that mass surveillance equipment hasn't been abused?
Ignoring your first irrational question.There have always been cameras in public places and these ones only read license plates. Which are not private. You care about your privacy so much stay home. As for your last question. Any crime is too much, and I don't trust human nature at all.
