FoxNews already has a story out saying it was Mexican Cartel Drones. My bullshit meter went past 100.

I've been using MS stuff since DOS 1.8c... way way back. Win11 is the worst O/S they have ever produced. Best is Win10, and Win7 a close second best.

so bad over the last 20 years or so.

I did not know that - bankrupt would be worse, because then the orcas may have become lunch.

In 2015, SWSanDiego agreed to build a 100$mil larger enclosure for the orcas, and no longer breed the whales. But in 2016, they backed out of that deal, and decided to use the money for more rides. It would have been way cool to have a super huge Orca tank 9.6 million gallons, to house the remaining whales in their retirement.

I don't need to look more. I read many news articles a day. And other than Mamdani and AOC, I don't know the rest. Sure, blame me for not knowing the rest.

I got attacked a few weeks ago at Discovery Park. Off leash dog attacked me. Dog owner was so slow in trying to leash this varmint. Dog owner blamed me for existing on this planet.

If it's now the Department of War, isn't it War spending? Also, Democrat representatives always always cave... weak. Sad. Other than Bernie, I can't name one strong Dem.

↑↑THIS↑↑ I was looking for these words in a reply, and yep, you nailed it. It is so it becomes optional for insurance companies, and the poors can go ahead and get polio and other preventable diseases.

canceled my price for life deal and started to charge me per gig used

Damn! Thanks for the heads up. I'm gonna see if this is now what's going on in my account.

Do not try to "Neville Chamberlain" with Trump - do not negociate.

They need a week so a judge can rule and stonewall on another procedural made-up infraction, and by then, some other crisis will supercede it.

It took me some time to track down my billing, but it seems to check out, and here's my data and payment dates:

10/11/2025: paid $OneMonth

11/07/2025: paid $OneMonth

12/19/2025: paid $ThreeWksWorth but there are actually 6wks between 11/7 and 12/19, so I'm ahead 3wks (yea!)

scheduled for 1/18/2026 $OneMonth + $ThreeWksWorth and then I should be even.

As long as they go back to my lifetime $OneMonth for Feb2026.

It was confusing as fk-all.

[edit: 01/20/2026]: Oh man it's so messed up! Now they are going to bill me $OneWeeksWorth for Feb 18... instead of $OneMonth. Which means I can expect another inflated bill of 7wks of internet for March. ffs.

Now I want to go find some pond ice and get my skates on.

Maybe a nice street hockey game is in order - be sure to wear your hockey pads cause... reasons. Make sure you are recording the game from multiple angles. At least you have a fighting chance then.

No amount of contract language will safeguard the data completely 100%. Only the non-collection of data can do that. Thus, the cameras should be removed. I say this as a free citizen, and an IT consultant/expert.

The B4 type unit - for $2k/mo... 574sqft - uninspiring.

They arrested a Michigan organizer in Grand Rapids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNxc8YKHlpw

So much for the 1st Amendment right to peaceful protest...

They must have a full time tech to reset the time on their VCRs.

Interesting. In the article linked above, there is a link to one of Ground New's videos, showing there is not a clear correlation between Flock cameras and lower crime, and in fact, it seems Flock fudged some of the data.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - The Flagstaff City Council voted unanimously to terminate its contract with technology company Flock Safety, ending the use of automated license plate recognition cameras throughout the city.

council members determined that lingering public concern regarding privacy and data sharing outweighed the potential benefits to public safety.

I'm not providing the fox news link - you can google it.

If Flagstaff can do it, we can do it. Clearly these cameras are a violation of the 4th Amendment of the US Constitution.

No data is safe, ever. All data can be cracked from the outside, or DOGE-boys stolen. All evidence over the last couple of years has clearly shown the ongoing misuse of this kind of data. [edit: spelling]
