More concerning is how they got that database.

Who gave them an incorrect warrant? What was it for? What's the point of listing names on a warrant if you ignore them? Why is every department claiming they weren't involved? Why were they collecting evidence from people not involved or listed on the warrant?

What exactly are any of us supposed to do if this happens?

With all the over militarized equipment they've deemed necessary to give out traffic tickets, I would assume those have ballot proof windshields

I want a security camera system that I can trust to be only my own. My requirements are not hugely unreasonable, but I can't find them the way search engines suck shit these days. I want a camera system with:

Local storage

No internet connection

No phone connection

No cables

No cloud storage option

No router necessary

And the option that seems impossible with the others: No option of remote connections

I don't want to see whats going on in real time on my phone, I want a completely private recording saved if I ever need to see if I got robbed. I don't want offline ability, I want cameras that can not connect to the internet at all, even through another device. I'm not worried about local network hacking, I want saved video that can only be viewed directly from the local storage. Longish life batteries so I don't have to route power, and no cables that can be unplugged. Solar powered would be nice, but isn't necessary.

Why is that so hard to find?

Conversation, mostly. By the time I quit reddit around two years ago, every top comment was a repost of a previous joke, or some predictable mutation of one.

Anything that went against the common preconceptions was shutdown immediately. I'm an expert/professional in a few niche subjects, and the final nail in the coffin for me was any comment I made turning into a fruitless debate with armchair experts too dumb to even understand why they were wrong, while correct info was downvoted to invisibilty.

None of this helps you crosspost, I'm aware.

It was pretty clever to use a spray bottle to add condensation to the inside of the bottle. I would of gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you pesky lemmings.

I have a heavy crystal decanter I've been using for years. A while back I was having some guests for a week, and thought I'd save some money and grabbed a bottle of Jim beam to put in it, as opposed to the higher end I tend to go for, because none of my guest cared about Bourbon. I noticed the level going down further than I had consumed. This has never been an issue before, so I figured someone had just nipped it while o was asleep. The next day, there was condensation on the inside, and the level had dropped further.

Since I'd been using the decanter for so long, I assumed the frosting on the stopper had rubbed off and it no longer sealed.

When it was empty, I refilled it with larceny, my standard, and to my surprise, it didn't evaporate at all for weeks.

Last night, I refilled it with beam again, and this morning, it had dropped and there was condensation on the side.

What really confused me, is Jim beam has a lower alcohol content than the Bourbons I usually fill the decanter with, so I would think it would evaporate as readily.

Why does only this one brand evaporate?

Quick searching gave me no results

Tldr: Why does Jim Beam evaporate in my decanter while nothing else does?

Sharks are older than trees.

They're older than a lot of things. Land plants, Yellowstone, appendages,dinosaurs, doritos.

Burgers are greasy, that doesn't bother me. Brioche buns are sweet and too thick, that's what bothers me.

Stop putting sugar in everything. I don't want a sweet Burger

My partner and I are like this. We've been together for 14 years and are legit best friends.

I have a feeling too many people paired off right away and decided their first serious relationship was the one, and never actually found an equal. Maybe they married more out of fear of being alone rather than actual desire, or they just can't tell the difference between sexual novelty and love.

Even a lot of my married friends start identifying more with boomer humor than romance after 2 or 3 years. Way too many communication issue, or ideas of traditional roles or how things 'should be' leading to resentment or exasperation.

Court long and marry late. And don't hide your real self when dating.

If we want to get conservatives on board with environmental protections, we should just start a conspiracy that the perceived rise in trans people, gays, and autistics is due to plastic ester groups in the environment. Then tell them that these groups are represented in the media so much now because the petrolium companies don't want us to see it as a problem when the science breaks.

Brb, gotta go convince some trumpers single use plastic is making their kids gay.

Well yeah fuck that guy and this program and it's implications, but this particular issue doesn't sound too unexpected considering the scope of the procedure.

I'm all for the science, but you know this is going to be some directly streamed ads hellspace we'll never escape from if it comes to fruition.

Here's a good rule for this sort of thing to move forward: No implants before right to privacy and freedom from advertising.

Washing dishes at a restaurant was my jam. Cranking music, making the other staff happy since I could clear that place like nobody else. all the dishes were the same and fit in the machine that was made for them, so I could focus on making the most efficient system to get everything done fast. I was wet and standing on slippery concrete all day, but it's rewarding being the best at something.

But it payed 7.00, and the managers treated me like shit. Only job I ever walked out of when the owner started scolding me for washing a bin that was brought to me that still had too many frozen peas in it in her opinion. Final straw after constantly being short staffed, changing shifts last minute, firing good managers to give their shitty kids the positions, and forcing everyone to fill in other jobs without training.

Fuck you, pie company. I could have been happy.

There's a type of bacteria that infects caterpillars and produces a toxin that makes them lose all rigidity. The toxin is called MCF.

MCF stand for Makes Caterpillars Floppy

I've got a Sony android TV and it... Kinda sucks with the constant 'reccommended content's (ads). Every update just adds more scrolling shit I don't want to see.I want to know what different programs I can try out, and maybe a different os I can put on it. I'm looking at smarttubenext currently, and I want to know of other things I can use to customize my experience.

Any recommendations?

I manage several computers, and every time I set up a new one I go through the same motions. Install w10, disable a bunch of shit, add the same list of programs, delete the same default apps, setup Firefox how I want it, run through Oosu, disable several services, and add some registry keys.

Is it possible to have a USB boot media that will do all the tweaking for me? As of right now it takes close to two hours every time, if could just plug in a drive and run the installer, it would make my life a lot easier.
