  • Fuck right off with this title. It’s anger against the goddamn fascist fucks watching the cameras.

    We cheered for a vigilante who presumably shot a health insurance CEO to death, too.

    At what point do we stop voting for the people putting up the flock cameras, and start voting for those that have comprehensive plans to address real issues?

  • Lpt: a circular saw is quicker than a sawzall on 2in aluminum pipes. If you aren’t sure what kind of metal you’re working with, use a magnet. If it sticks, use a sawzall. If it doesn’t, use a circular saw. With a little practice, you can get through a 2in pipe in under 45 seconds (12s is my record for 2in aluminum pipe) How you use that little tidbit of info is up to you I guess, I just like sharing information about metalworking, since I’m a hobby level blacksmith. And just in case you want to go camping with your metalworking tools, as one does, there are some decent brands that fit nicely in a backpack, and you can get around your campground quickly with bicycles. Just don’t bring your phone, they ruin bike trips.

    I’m definitely cheering them on because I’m too chicken shit to do it myself.

    Cutting these things down is fine and all, more power to you. In decently sized cities, they’ll just replace them and it becomes a game of whack-a-mole. Go to noalprs.com and sign up - look for a local group and show up to city hall. If your town isn’t on the map, create a group. There has been enormous success by pointing out the privacy risks, security failures, potential for abuse, 3rd party data collection, etc. When a contract is cancelled, ALL those cameras go down. Seriously, sign up and fight. Angry folks at town halls make change.
