The world is going to hell in a hand basket. There's no democracy, no freedom, just the illusion of it. It's a bit like The Matrix, we live in a world where we're presented with what we want to see, so most don't question it but the fact of the matter is what we see and believe isn't real, it's just a deception.

The government is corrupt and they have complete control over everything. They can do anything they want to you at any time, and there's nothing you can do about it. It's just as it's always been, except, as I said above, we believe it's different than it really is.

All you can really do is keep up to date with the government's latest criminal laws that they keep passing and to learn all the little tips and tricks to keep you safe and out of harms way. Plenty of good stuff to learn about dealing with the police... I'm never letting one in again without a warrant.

Doesn't Obumma have a big red button to shut down your internet now? That's such rubbish.

Oh, if it wasn't clear. I don't want to be tracked either.

I think it's a green button. I take it you let a cop search your car?

Pff? Green... yeah right. It's totally red. All the super villains have big red buttons, why would obumma break from tradition?

No, I never have and never would. One of the things I've heard is, if you get pulled over... ask them "Why did you pull me over officer?"... apparently most of them still go into their little routine and ask straight away "Do you know why you got pulled over?" ... "Uhh... no, that's why I asked." roflmho

They always try to search my car... NO. I don't even have evidence they're real cops... I should make them provide that for me some time, and remain unsatisfied regardless of what they show me.

Actually in the US cops are not allowed to search your car if they cannot present a search warrant or see illegal contraband without moving anything. Most citizens just let them do it anyway.
TL;DR If you are pulled over ask for a search warrant if they begin searching the car.

Heh really? I've never been searched... but it might be because I don't drive. Seriously though, I'm still on my L's so I've not spent much time driving -- I've not heard of my folks ever been searched though, it's probably different in the US. We can't even bear arms here, I think you've got to be like thirty or something to get a gun license and even then you can only keep it in your home. Ironically, you can pickup a gun illegally at any age.

That would be funny... lol

I'd like to troll a cop. I'd like to ask a cop if he's drunk... or maybe just pull this voice: (~0:28+)

They can with probable cause. Such as the smell of drugs or something that looks like weapon etc.

For all you know he could be a domestic terrorist. He doesn't NEED an argument for this; the only people that need one are fools that want to defend things like this.

So what you're saying is that the way you'd like it is the way it should be, and that's that? and you're not even going to give any reason whatsoever for this?

> Yes. Also within your right is the ability to move.

The problem is that what he does hurt my lungs while what I do doesn't do anything. I'm standing there.

Extrapolating a bit here, we should let anyone hit us because that person just "wants to"? He's hurting me indirectly here by smoking right next to me, so, it is in my right to deny him.

Also, if the smoker is smoking just besides the doorway, then my "ability to move" becomes severely impaired. There is no way I can cross that door without entering the smoke area. I can no longer "move", I am forced to suffer from second-hand smoking if I am to cross that door, therefore justifying the Law here we have that smoking must be done outside a 7 meters perimeter around any public building (Don't know how it works in the US)

I still stand by what I said: Your liberty ends where mine begins. The smoker is the one hurting me here, not the opposite. He should be restricted from doing so as much as you are restricted from punching somebody in the face because you "feel like it" and Freedom would mean "I can do what I want".

Wow this story is absurd. Did it pass? If it did, Louisiana is officially a socialist state.

It was signed into law on July 1, but flew so far under the radar that practically nobody in the media noticed until this week, when Louisiana’s KLFY Eyewitness News 10 put a spotlight on the new rules and their likely impacts on local business.

I fear heavy lobbyism went into this law in favor of companies which were the most hurt* financially by local cash commerces.

(*):Benefits of let's say, $10 million instead of the much more interesting $12 million.

    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
  • 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.
