Same, it was fun, but that was really it, they went campy and the books aren’t really campy, i would have liked an adaptation that stayed true to the vibe of the books but overall it wasn’t bad or anything, just not what it could have been.

No, that’s literally just capitalism.

Anarchism and capitalism are antithetical to each other, capitalism is a system of capital ownership that creates economic heirarchy.

Heirarchy and anarchy are mutually exclusive polar opposites.

You clearly lack understanding of anarchism. Economic heirarchy is still heirarchy honey.

This is what we get for not teaching kids critical thinking skills in school.

FoB?

Livesuit was great, really looking forward to TFOB, probably gonna read it in a week or two.

Just started Platform Decay, found out it came out just recently when it showed up on libby and immediately downloaded it so probably that one. I really like the whole Murderbot Diaries series.

you can’t be an anarchist and a billionaire honey.

U try startpage.com ?

American here, consider it a warning that US politicians have been doing exactly that for decades and look where we are now.

You and friends you know who oppose this should be considering what you are willing to do to make them stop because small actions won’t cut it. Take it from someone who has experience in the matter.

That’s why I suggested a higher power rating than 1 watt, if you get a laser with a decent power output it won’t take minutes, it will take seconds, the higher the output the faster the camera dies. If you get something fairly high power you could essentially take a camera out instantly, a quick flick on and off directly at the sensor with a beam that has a low consistent spread of maybe 1 cm per 100m or so with high output would fry the entire optical sensor at once, or alternatively a beam with high output and very small focus with minimal spread could simply slice through the camera entirely, focus it well enough and you could cut cameras off poles at their mounting points and wires at a distance and just walk away with the whole camera, some of the new ones have solar panels too which are actually useful and also incur more cost to replace while being useful for cutting down your electricity bill assuming you prevent them from breaking when they fall, in theory you could make back the money you spend on the laser that way too whether by using the panels or selling them. Though selling has its own risks.

you joke but just wait, poe’s fucking law will have us by the throat with this one

I wouldn’t say more discreet or efficient, but cheaper yes, at least in the short run but there will always be systems that are hard to hit with a balloon due to their height and if all they need is some solvent in a backpack sprayer to undo your work then in the long run you’ll need to buy a lot of paint and balloons. Efficient to me is carrying something that fits in a backpack and can be charged on a home outlet and take out hundreds

It does have a much lower upfront cost though which is a consideration

I am pretty sure that at that wattage it would not be able to significantly destroy them, you could burn out pixels in the camera but unless you want to stand there for 10+ minutes shining it on the lens I don’t think you’re going to significantly hamper the vision system.

It needs to be more powerful than a class 4 consumer grade device.

Not that you can’t do it, but if you want to do it more effectively I am pretty sure something stronger would be required than a 1 watt device, Ideally you would want something that can just melt the photoreceptor entirely.

To further your efficacy you might want to use something in a wavelength range that is invisible to most cameras since any footage prior to melting is probably still saved somewhere and available to police. No visible beam means it’s significantly harder to pin it on you.Be warned however lasers in that intensity are very dangerous to eyesight and even incidental beam reflections off surfaces can cause damage to eyesight almost immediately, compounding that by making it a wavelength invisible to cameras you are also making it invisible to human eyes making it even easier to accidentally blind yourself without the right eye protection. Though it would be more difficult to aim if you can’t see it (there are ways around this as well such as buying a small camera that can see that wavelength and hooking it up to a video feed you use to aim it, potentially an in glasses screen (these are becoming much cheaper and readily available these days) as now you can order glasses to protect from that wavelength and put the lenses over your screen glasses and see exactly where you are pointing it without any risk of eye damage and very minimal risk of being caught.

unfortunately too late, if only that poor ceo had known, he could have prevented this 😂

The fucking bridge story had me misty eye’d. Probably best episode of the entire series so far tbh. Although the zoltraak episode was really fucking cool.

Hmm, there is a similarity but it doesn’t quite rhyme, could still be contributing to the feel of the word though for sure.

Maybe but it doesn’t feel like one when you say it and never really has

More like bigoted kids from the 90s wouldn’t survive in some schools today. They’d get punched in the face like that one who was supporting ice.

Frankly I prefer bigot checks over gay checks

We can do this right now also, I think I might start it on normal bills, get the ball rolling for when his name shows up on them

Second time this particular has jumped at the opportunity to help commit genocide, maybe they just need to die

those are not silhouettes though, multiple have shading and would not be recognizeable without the extra surface detail
