That solar panel looks useful.

Since I have never gone out in nondescript black clothing at night to destroy these things, I can’t say from firsthand knowledge…

But yes, yes they are. They make great trickle chargers for large batteries that only get used intermittently. Or string several together and enjoy an ebike battery charger. I have a similarly sized and shaped panel I found somewhere that I use to charge my 18650 bank.

A couple flock cameras near my town keep getting taken out and put back up.

The latest blurry security camera footage to catch the culprit has led to sweet FA since they ride a nondescript dark color mountain bike, wear all black clothing without logos or text, and seem to avoid riding their bike unmasked near businesses with cameras and houses that might have door cameras.

I don’t even think they know gender/skin/hair color. Anything other than “average human height” really.

Anyway, shout out to everyone who destroys one of these things. It’s illegal, but it’s the morally correct thing to do.

FN P90 because they are objectively the coolest guns

The white brick at the bottom is for detecting large objects (cars) and is either controlling a traffic signal, or is being used to count traffic going through that spot.

An intersection near me uses them to switch the lights at an intersection where traffic almost never comes from, so a timed light is unnecessary, but important traffic still comes from that direction.

Personally I like to interpret it as

More like “YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-s sir, please stomp on me harder with your big heavy boots”

Only if you participate in an instance that tracks such things.

I know startrek.website tracks individual comments and posts, but not overall. So I would have to go back and check each individual comment and add up the total if I cared to find out how many points I have accumulated.

I know some don’t track any at all.

I know lemmy.world tracks at least comment votes.

I understand that a basic point system allows people to sort comments a little easier, but it really can reinforce echo chambers.

I am guilty of often sorting posts with dozens of comments by top vote ranking, but I try to just do oldest to newest comments.

You need another stone that has gaps slotted into it to slide against the cupped stone. That helps keep things flat. Not perfect but good enough for my knife making hobby.

I don’t need computers to eat.

Yet.

For my regular headphones, not much. I can use the buttons on them to cycle through sound modes (no modification, sound canceling, and external mics) as well as the normal things like switch volumes, tracks etc.

Once I got the update, I deleted the app and got an older one. If they make it mandatory somehow, I’ll just not use the app and get different brand headphones when these break.

I use apkmirror to get old versions of apps

Always a good idea. You never know when surprise wish twists will show up.

Anker?

I noticed their soundcore app did that last time I connected to wifi and it auto-updated… Inimmediately went looking for an old apk.

I imagined it more like “the show is now your real life” but definitely didn’t specify “not becoming an actor to play a part” but yeah.

Iwas envisioning something like Firefly, the Expanse (but less dangerous) or literally any game where the plot involves you being on a small cargo-capable ship with light guns and tons of questionable illegal mods.

Let’s be honest, I was picturing the Millennium Falcon…

He should have wished to be the protagonist in his very own sci-fi space show set on a “light freighter” style of ship.

Then you’re guaranteed at least two romance options (four, if you swing more than one way), your own ship, and plot armor.

I really don’t like ice. It’s cold, slippery and wet.

And it gets everywhere.

Just like the shitty US fascist police…

Nothing I’ve fried has been made worse by the deep fryer

Well, other than your health.

Although you aren’t really deep frying it directly. Just by proxy.

Source: own one and do not regret

Even if I did, too late you greedy bigots.

“So bow to her if you like, bow to the queen of slime, the queen of filth, the queen of putrescence. Boo! BOO! BOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Still fits here, tbh

Honestly even if I liked something, telling me not to boo it will make me want to boo it.

BOOO!
