Nuclear safety and penny-pinchers don’t make good bedfellows.

Additionally Ukraine is an asset they want to exploit. Turning it into a nuclear landscape makes it unusable.

Dude you don’t know who you’re up against!!

At this point does it matter? I think not!

Jammer also keeps people from getting a notification that someone has come into view on the camera. An away homeowner who sees a person coming through their front door can call the police. With no notification you don’t know until you get home and they’re long gone.

Version 2 came with Windows 7. Version 5 comes with Windows 10 (and I think 11). V7 is the latest but being cross-platform doesn’t come with some of the Windows-specific modules built into v5.

I know I’m a heretic but I’m a huge powershell fan. Once you work with an object-oriented shell you’ll wonder why you’ve dealt with parsing text for so long. Works great on Linux, MacOS and Windows, it’s open source, reads and writes csv, json and xml natively, native web and rest service support, built-in support for remote computing and parallel processing and extensive libraries for just about anything you can think of. It takes a little getting used to but it’s worth it.

In several states the coroner is also the only authority that can arrest the governor as well. Very strange system.

Yeah, but if a Democrat had done it the percentage who thought it was justified would be a lot lower.

I hope its a little better than remote access to disable. Internet access can be knocked out and cell signals jammed. Hopefully they’ve gorba deadman switch and disable things immediately in the event of an invasion.

I suspect i might be the winner here. My friend had an alley behind his house along with a nice strip of open land near a busy road. Eventually a strip mall was built and then another large commercial building started to go up. Being basically behind my friends house we walked over to this new building on weekend to check out the construction site.

The building was being built with cement block and had lots of scaffolding and yet-unused block scattered around. I found a pipe-bender - a very heavy tool made out of high quality steel - and found you could just tap on of these cement blocks and it would shatter to pieces. I was fascinated, as were my friends. I have no idea how many cement blocks we destroyed over the next couple of days, but it was a huge number. Then we decided to see if we could go through a wall with the pipe bender… we could indeed, making a hole in the side of the building we could walk through. Looking around we eventually realized what we’d done was awful… we had decimated this construction site. We finally slinked away and come Monday when the crew returned, police were called and neighbors interrogated but thankfully with privacy fences all around, none of the neighbors saw anything. 11 and 12 yr olds are stupid.

Thanks for sharing that. It was terrible and depressing read, 5½ years in the future.

And cheap oil is bad for the US oil industry and US energy independence. Under ~$3 a barrel and our fracked oil fields become unprofitable. Something like ¾ of Texas’ oil fields were closed in the first year or so after covid and most fracked wells suffer damage from closing process and can’t be re-opened. Putin intentionally kept production high during Covid, causing the prices to plummet more, to damage the US oil industry as we’d become the world’s top producer.

Heck the stupid XL pipeline not being available keeps prices low for the US Midwest because Canada is forced to sell crude at a discount to US midwest refineries. But Republicans repeat the Koch brothers promoted, well-rehearsed lies that that somehow that pipeline allowing Canada to get their crude to refineries on the Texas coast and sell on a world market would lower gas prices.

My Vizio smart TV’s smart features won’t work if you don’t accept the terms of use. HDMI inputs worked though, and probably TV tuner… didnt try it. I eventually accepted of course, but that might be an option for you.

The difference though is the most important. We can change our minds and vote someone else in after Biden. If we elect Trump he will do his best to completely dismantle our democracy, something he almost accomplished the first time.

You can hear the first VP debate question… “How did you feel the first time you heard Trump say 'I just grab ‘em by the pussy!’ ?”

Not if it’s Arabian.

He’s undoubtedly counting on tips.

What way do you think the Dems would use this?

I mean if you really care about security you’re not using wifi… you’re going hard wired. Wifi can be messed up by your neighbors unintentionally and then there goes your tampering alarm. Tampering alarms are good when the system isn’t fragile.

No security installer is going to suggest wifi if someone’s genuinely concerned about security.
