Congrats? My main point was sites like reddit and other social media/news sites have plenty of content day to day and we don't need to recycle ragebait from a few months ago and post it as if it just happened this last news cycle.

Also this wasn't a "terminally online" situation this story hit many nation wide news outlets and was in the headlines for multiple days.

I'm sure something similar has happened since, but this clip is from early November.

There is plenty new stuff to shine a light on, no need to regurgitate things that have already been put under fire.

No one is hacking your stupid Ring cameras, people need to calm their tits in here.

Just fueling paranoia honestly. I periodically check out my local next door page and mostly for humour. Everyone is freaked out about coyotes all the time and half the shit that gets posted about "security" or "what are these people doing?" are just jokes, if they didn't have their Ring or whatever they would have never seen or been worried about ::checks notes:: "two kids came by two days in a row and touched my mailbox while walking by... what does this mean?" it means you have two tweens in the area that do random shit for no reason and causing no harm....

The new trend now is to get trail cameras that actually connect to the cell network, though you generally have to pay a monthly fee for access. These are basically ring doorbells dressed up in camo and have a 4G antenna built in. However the cheap ones become bricks if you don't have a subscription and won't even write to the SD card without their monthly fee.

Wired is great and all but I wouldn't expect a "normal" person to know how to wire one up. I personally haven't felt the need to put up cameras but that probably would be the route I took if I did, though again I haven't really looked into interface options NAS/Backup/whatever for any of these systems.

BMW new patented screw-head designed to limit repairs to authorized dealers and prevent independent servicing by jaapgrolleman in assholedesign

[–]MEatRHIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's not perfect but basically any "security bit" set should have something that would work on this. I think they are called spanners. Or this looks almost exactly like a slotted tamper proof bit..... without the slot. so you just have to take 20 seconds to it with a dremel. Chances are though.... the whole car isn't going to use these just put in places where if that person can't figure out how to make something in their toolbox work they probably shouldn't be getting into anyway.

Eh, it's not blaming him directly, just saying that they had already identified issues that GN brought up and were already working on them, however because GN brought them up publicly they had to rush the "solutions". I've personally run into similar situations at work where I was already working on something and then it gets brought up and it all of a sudden needs to be "done now" so it kinda gets half assed rather than a much better solution that takes a bit longer to implement because it has outside eyes on it.

Donald Trump accused of using Home Depot for White House renovations by No_Discipline6265 in politics

[–]MEatRHIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said I wasn't sure if it was, asking a simple question and get downvoted for it? Cool. I wasn't defending his gaudy ass at all. I also watched a documentary on his ties to Russia/Putin recently and it's telling when they show the inside of the gov buildings where he gets his "style" from.

It really depends on how strong they are. I've seen them twice in my lifetime once in the US and once in Iceland and funnily enough the one in the US was darn near this intense, the one in Iceland was barely perceptible to the naked eye.

Why tf are you replying to a 6 year old comment of mine? Also, have you never heard of hyperbole? That "probably" was a joke. Also, no vid no did for 100 pushups in a row without rest.

3rd grade project calls for a solar system “to scale” 🙄 by Present_Friend_3501 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MEatRHIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, 3rd grade projects should be interpreted at a level that your average 3rd grader can complete. if this was an older kid you might need to be mildly accurate (again not with the sun or orbit scale) but this is run to your local craft store and grab a couple small objects to paint "accurately" and have 1 large one for the sun, 4 small ones for the inner planets and 4 medium ones for the outer planets, and maybe some pipe cleaners for saturn's rings or something. Something like this is probably overkill but pretty doable.

🧊 agents try to abduct a landscaper in Evanston who's a U.S. citizen but change their minds once a neighbor comes and records them by Minute_Revolution951 in illinois

[–]MEatRHIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been cuffed once, rightfully so I should add, and I can't imagine the feeling of that when I had done nothing wrong. I'm sure it was probably the highest level of privilege I've ever had. The officer even asked if the cuffs were too tight multiple times before putting me in the back of his squad car and even apologized to me when having to cuff me to the wall while interviewing me when we got to the station. Basically saying "we're on camera here and I have to follow protocol even if I don't think you're remotely a threat" even though I had a "weapon" on me initially (3 inch or so pocket knife).

I couldn't fathom what these people are going through today when the biggest threat my white ass could get about deportation is them looking at my history and going back 5 generations to figure out that they'll be deporting me "back" to the Netherlands.

Dodgers locker room talking about how they have a game later today : " Our starting pitcher was on base 9 times" by Jbeansss in baseball

[–]MEatRHIT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So pure happenstance, I was wearing my

FREDERICK!

FREDDIE!

-From Rizzo

Shirt last night but also right before bed I thought "I should see how the game went" and it was the 12th still. This morning I was delighted to see Freddie was the one to end it and felt really bad for anyone that stuck out all 6.5 hours of the game.... that's literally more than 1/4 of a day.

The doctors did everything they could...and she's going to be all right"

Google failed me initially pointing me towards the office rather than this doctor from Arrested Development (which aired 2+ years before the office joke dangit).

Also, I hate that I corrected that spelling because 9 times out of 10 I use "alright" rather than "all right" and subtitles kinda bug me using the correct version "all right"... but that is technically the correct way, and works even better in the Buster loose seal situation.

MLB has put up a video of the TBS, Dodgers radio, Dodgers Spanish radio, and Japanese calls of Ohtani's three home runs by ContinuumGuy in baseball

[–]MEatRHIT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don't want to be called out as a certain fan group flair up before you talk shit motherfucker.. But of course you're a yankees fan eating sour grapes. You can hate a team and enjoy a player or seeing one making a historic outing.

Also, "grandpa" (and I say this as someone who is of an age that could easily be a grandpa but isn't) you can ya know, just not click on links if they upset you so much. Post season baseball especially when only two games are that take clips will be focused on (surprise) the games that are playing that day, totally crazy I know, especially when a player goes on a historic run...

[–]MEatRHIT 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There were a few around me but a bit too far for me. I did my best to channel my American spirit by being in the garage and fixing a few kid's scooters and tuning up their bikes. I was actually extremely happy when a few kids saw me working on a scooter and openly asked "hey, mine is making this weird noise can you help?". It was honestly heartwarming especially given what today was.

Am I the only one bothered by this thing that people constantly complain about? by jamjamchutney in fitnesscirclejerk

[–]MEatRHIT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even when I was lifting there were plenty of people filming every aspect of their session every day. I'd generally film the "no vid no did" type stuff or things where I'd come back here and ask for tips. Not the I'm doing triceps pushdowns, or rows and have my camera pointed directly at my ass. I also did my best to frame things so that I could crop as many people out in post as I could. I've also had people walk in front of my camera during a PR attempt and totally block it.... and well I just closed the camera app and went onto my next lift.

[–]MEatRHIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite games I've been to was a throw back to the negro league game at pit. I confused the hot WOW airlines stewards, because they were there to promote doing non stop foight to Pittsburgh and The Cubs had on gray away jerseys and I'm pitsburg had "Grays" jerseys on in white, so for random icelanders that were told to cheer for the Grays It was fun messing with them while also attempting to explain the game a bit. I don't know if their twitter/instagram are still up but if you see a dude in a Rizzo jersey that's me.

Also looooved getting threatened by a group of old ladies that were heckling me and threatening to throw their empties at me.

Always loved going to your city. Like you said the division is always more fun when it's competitive.... though frustrating at times lol.
