WEST PALM BEACH — A man and a bunny were walking down the center median of Okeechobee Boulevard Wednesday morning when the bunny began flashing a sign at passing motorists: "Have a safe, hoppy holiday. Buckle up!"

Amused drivers smiled and waved at the duo. (One motorist even tried to give the man a $20, thinking he was homeless.)

But this was no joke. Both were West Palm Beach police officers out to enforce the state-sponsored "Click it or Ticket" campaign; signalling other officers stationed off Tamarind Avenue when motorists were not wearing their seat belts.

Wearing a seat belt "should be an involuntary response when you get in a vehicle," said Sgt. Matthew Bessette of the department's traffic division. Beginning around 8 a.m., officers cited 50 motorists in the first two hours alone.

better question: why do we pay cops to do this with our tax $$? I don't really care if people drive with or without a seatbelt.. it's 100% their choice, and if people make stupid choices, then they deserve to get the consequence of such.

They can do what they want now a days, because they are just protecting us!

I agree completely. If you die, thats your problem. If you wanna be stupid, thats also your choice. I always wear my seatbelt, and I suggest everyone else does highly because a small thing like a seatbelt can save your life and it's not a big hassle, but if you don't want to you're doing nothing but endangering yourself.

Its all fun and games until Death Race rolls through there and cops dressed as Bunnies are worth 150 points a piece :)

the car that the person comes out of would need to be moving towards you as well for that to happen.. in which case you have bigger problems (like a car that is colliding with you), and they are screwed regardless of what happens.. think of how fast the car needs to be going for a person to fly out the windshield - 50mph? at that speed, if you land on ANYTHING, you are screwed

I'd love for you to point me in the direction of information regarding someone dying because of someone in another car not wearing a seatbelt flew into their car and killed them. :)

Well I didn't... and technically neither did anyone else. What happens is, the tax money is taken from you, divided up by someone that you probably have never heard of, let alone voted for to do it, then given to who it is they felt needed it, probably glanced at the expenditures and division lists of the previous years for a second before giving everyone what they wanted. Then the cops go do it, knowing they're on salary and in addition will get a bonus if they reach certain quotas because when they do so, the state raises the crime rating of the area and subsequently sends them more money, which they often get a small percentage of for helping ensure we are all safely under their control.

Plus they're probably dicks.

    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
