Unfortunately, pianos come with strings attached.

It blows my mind that some people on my team were excited to watch the commercials during the Super Bowl.

I live my life in a way that minimizes the advertising I’m exposed to, and some people are just mainlining that garbage.

The only issue I get with PipePipe is that when I switch from LTE to WiFi the stream cuts off and won’t restart due to an error. I can play other stuff through the app, just not what I was listening to after the network change.

If The X Files was rebooted today the Lone Gunmen would be Rogan-pilled red-hatted brain-wormed dude-bros.

Maybe I don’t understand what you mean, but it seems pretty reliable to me. In what way do you envision it failing? Lasers or mocap would seem to make it less reliable due to the required processing.

To add:

If cops are afraid of civilians having this hardware, they’re in the same boat as the rest of us. Maybe they’ll have some incentive to lobby for laws that would keep all of us safe.

But instead they lobby for things like perpetuating the decades long “war on drugs,” which is largely what this breach and clear shit is used for.

They want to wage war on civilians. And, really, just some civilians.

Here’s an archived version that’s not paywalled.

I really don’t care if cops have to deal with that. It’s their job.

If they don’t want to do it, find another one. The world could use fewer armed right-wing meathead goons.

Or try de-escalation for a change.

We know what happens when we arm a police force with military weapons and no accountability.

I absolutely blame the cops and the people who gave them these deadly toys.

If a tradesman “fixed” my plumbing with C4 I’d blame the plumber and the guy who gave him the explosive.

I’d rather the right-wing paramilitary not have weapons of war.

A SWAT team destroyed a Texas home and refused to pay for the damage. Now the homeowner is fighting back.

Not an MRAP, but explosives: Police tore through the wrong house. Now Austin won’t pay for the damage.

And these are just the ones where they got the wrong house (other than the one where they drove an armored car to a guy’s house to intimidate him). They’re offensive weapons, and the cops use them as such.

I don’t get why people are fine with arming the police with military hardware like MRAPs.

Their whole job is to control the civilian population and people want to arm them with the means to drive into a house and start unloading on the residents within?

They’re a right-wing paramilitary force; we should be limiting their reach instead of giving them armor and quad-damage power-ups.

Here’s your regulation issue avocado toast and collapsed economy. Oh, I see you’ve already got one of those. Welcome aboard!

The mk2 has a cupola and machine gun.

“I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla,” Trump wrote. “Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!”

Notably, it’s for property crimes against President Musk.

This piggy committed the worst crime possible against the US, then would send citizens to a concentration camp for upsetting his owner.
