I was at work, but I got a patent on an antenna that is used to jam cell signals so that explosives experts could stay safe disarming IEDs in Afghanistan and Iraq. It was more compact than previous antennas that stuck up really high, making the guy with the radio a target for snipers. Or they would fold them up to get through doorways making them less efficient. I have no idea what happened to them but I came up with the concept, designed them, simulated them, built them, tested them and even shipped five of them myself. One of the best programs I had working for the man. I sincerely hope I might have contributed to saving a life.

You killed it right?

Isn’t it illegal to buy votes? Not that they would care.

Microsoft Word had been doing this for decades. In fact so does my ducking phone.

I bet a lot of people wish they could be put on paid leave.

Mixed tape store. This was like 12 years ago, long after streaming was a thing. A buddy of mine went in and asked if they sold CDs and the guy legit said, “No. Just mixed tapes.” Pretty sure it was a front for something.

All cars built after September 2027 in the US must have surveillance technology on board to detect impaired drivers and restrict the operation of the vehicle if impairment is detected. This includes drowsiness. Which means they can track your eyes. Not a big step at all to not only detect if a phone is in use but to record that data.

Thank you

A government for the people.

I was living with my sister in a condo. We frequently played pool at a place across the street. It was a sort of yuppy pool place, not a biker bar. It was located on the end of a strip mall. To get there, we walked to the end of the row of single story condos, then through some bushes and into the sidewalk, jaywalked across the street and into the parking lot.

So we’re doing this and just as we reach the sidewalk on the other side of the street, a car pulls out of the parking lot, like normal, and turns in our direction. Just behind it another car pulls out very quickly, not like normal, it overtakes the first car and forces it up onto the sidewalk where we are walking. Suddenly like three other cars pull in from multiple directions. We are literally standing in a police arrest scene. So glad when the perp went up on the sidewalk, he took care not to run over us. I guess the cops never expected people to suddenly emerge from the bushes and cross the street just at that moment.

I wouldn’t say that’s completely incomparable. We could also call the operator back then. The location was public. Local area is still a lot of people.

You know, there used to be this thing called the phone book. Look it up. It’s horrifying in today’s world.

Read the article? Are you nuts?

Almost all of them, I thought.

I don’t understand this at all. I thought it was illegal to have possession of child pornography. In fact isn’t that what CBP, said they were looking for on the guy’s phone when they put in the code and it wiped itself? So it’s legal to generate it, but not possess it? WTF? Did I hear wrong?

Ok, I see your point but in a fascist society, what else can you do to stop him? Harsh language? A lawsuit you can’t afford?

I like that idea.

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

Hey at least he HAS a purpose.

It’s ok, their parents will take care of the situation.
