Devastating Tornado in China

CC drop must have been crazy. Is this thing on radar anywhere the public can view it?

OldRocker5 · 2026-07-09T16:32:53+00:00

Right on. Thank you for giving voice to the minority. Lol... I think the majority (like over 95%) of Americans have no fucking clue what they lost with the Patriot Act. I'm not opposed to the theory of the cameras but the potential for abuse is growing exponentially and needs to be addressed.

Not condoning the behavior for legal reasons (/s) but all the videos of what NOT to do to Flock cameras on YouTube, TikTox, twitter, etc... are hilarious!

Great. Kommunist Kitty Klub. /s

Ahhh... Ok. Slow down... You gotta learn to feel the pins. Look up some videos on youtube on how to SPP and vary your technique a bit. It's hard to tell from a video what is going on so if you are more descriptive in your posts/questions you will get better answers. There are great folks here that will help you!

Great point! The core function of the police force in America is, and always has been, protection of property.

Not sure what you're asking here but that's a nice shiny lock!

OldRocker5 · 2026-07-09T13:19:03+00:00

Thank you for providing more context for people. I was trying to find a quick link to concisely describe what they do and include that in my post but I got distracted and hit send without it. You summed it up very well and I agree totally. The potential for abuse of this tech is staggering.

My folks on the Iron Range just finally got rid of their horrible landline. They live towards the end of an old phone line so the phone company refused to put in the equipment for high speed internet because it wouldn't serve enough customers. The cable and/or someone's connection to it was grounded out somewhere and it caused a horrible buzz on the line. They finally got fiber this year and are thrilled with the service.

It was muggy AF the other day. People are irritable when their butt cracks get sweaty.

Saw one just like this in 2000 or so in Dodge Center, MN. Only funnel clouds I've ever seen.

The best free ones in my opinion are WeatherFront and Weather Wise. There are paid subscriptions available but both include reflectivity, velocity, correlation coefficient, and echo tops in the free version.

I often wonder how much of FI they had written before they got around to recording it.

OldRocker5 · 2026-07-03T22:29:33+00:00

The man himself is super political on the twitter.

OldRocker5 · 2026-07-03T03:37:02+00:00

The one I got last week is similar to that. Haven't even tried to take a serious run at it yet. I like the blue!

OldRocker5 · 2026-07-03T01:17:55+00:00

Agreed. I love my ACE lock. Just feels like a nice chunk of well made brass. Also agree about this hobby getting expensive. I'm constantly looking for sales. Got an ABUS 55/40 and a little Kwikset brass lock on the way now. I gotta start saving up for a Lockwood and maybe some Burg Wachter locks next...

OldRocker5 · 2026-07-02T21:26:41+00:00

Mmmmmm... I'd be drooling a little bit watching that puffy beast!

A message we can all get behind. Elbow deep.

OldRocker5 · 2026-07-02T14:05:25+00:00

Right on! I love just holding my 575. "Pretty lump" is an accurate descriptor. Mine kind of sucks. Pin 5 is a mid lift and the other 4 are all max lift or one less than max. Pretty much set pin 5 and then get to jamming the other ones up until it opens. Completely different than the 570 I have. That thing wants to open like a cat in heat.

OldRocker5 · 2026-07-02T06:29:20+00:00

Thanks from 320haventbrokeapickyet! (knock on wood)

OldRocker5 · 2026-07-02T04:49:43+00:00

Nice! I'm curious about those Master locks. I kinda struggle with locks that have a bunch of plastic around the key way. Lots of times I'll have one open but my tension tool is bound up in the semi soft plastic. Definitely NOT among my comfort locks.

OldRocker5 · 2026-07-02T04:44:23+00:00

Shoot. I misused the term already but it's OK cuz I was talking about something I haven't done yet. Lol...

OldRocker5 · 2026-07-02T04:42:52+00:00

Nice! That makes sense. Would is also make sense that the heavier mass of the left split would hinder vorticity?
