There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

  • "Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

  • You gotta get them once. I had one cat try to reach between the door of a closet. Didn't see her, fortunately closed it slowly. She screamed bloody murder of course. Didn't do damage, but you know what she hasn't tried again since?

    Never mind. I looked again and see it's an orange. That's a hopeless cause there.

  • "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Donald Trump

    Oh, wait, sorry... that quote is from a real President.

  • In an interview before his first term he commented that we had nukes, why not use them? The response from his supporters was that he was just kidding or talking metaphorically. The same people who voted for him because he says what he means.

  • There's a lot of very small details that AI would have messed up. Like the background stuff in the picture seems to match okay. But AI is getting better, or they could have had a good photoshop expert. The lettering is due to the camera resolution, I don't see anything off in word placement or length anywhere.

    If it's fake, then they'll flub up soon enough somewhere else in continuing it.

  • Did you attend your high school reunion? Why or Why not?

    Jump

  • It was joining Facebook long ago and adding people I knew that made me realize I'm not going to ever bother going to a reunion. I only had a few close friends in high school, and the rest... well, let's just say it didn't take long for me to block their constant postings about all sorts of junk topics. My mistake was seeing Facebook as a newer version of the BBS forums, but once I figured out it's all about saying "look at me", and not about actual discussion... not my thing.

  • The “Diagnose” button is a fucking lie

  • Opens when you press it. Not finds a solution. Never has found a solution.

  • If you just put something else in the cart to bump it to 24 million, you would get free shipping.

  • doorbell camera recs

    Jump

  • I have three Reolinks. One doorbell, and two of the cheaper wireless with a solar hookup. All three have the max SD memory card they'll take. As with any product, you'll get lots of variation, but so far all of them have done well enough for me.

    Issues:

    They aren't the highest res (newer models are better)

    We had to get a wireless extender to reach the farthest one, and there still can be some stutter for the higher bitrate

    For one solar panel it took a year and some drop in charging to realize the first spot wasn't the best for all seasons, but now they stay 100%

    Caveat is that batteries and solar do have a lifetime, but going on 4-5 years now and no notice of difference yet

    The app/client is okay, could be better, and doesn't have the greatest support, but it works ok for my basic needs. I've heard you can use other ways to get the signal, but haven't tried.

    I'd buy them again. Can't speak for the higher end ones if they're worth the extra features.
