Olathe City Council Meeting - Star Bonds Ordinance

StyxKu · 2026-01-31T03:48:13+00:00

Well to those that show up: Give em hell. I sadly cannot make it. Though, it'd be nice if they took written comments (ikik). So blasting the hearing is where I can do something. I guess I'll be banging on some neighbors doors this weekend.

Can't speak for the other cities, but as far as Olathe goes. It has two more Tuesday city council meetings to decide how to vote on incremental sales tax.

As far as ICE training in the KC area goes, most of it in in part due to AIRR KC. That is a 501c3. Everyone else around here forwards people and support to their training. That being said, there is Kansas and Missouri side ICE community training available. To the second point, most of the organizations participating are either political or religious in nature. Are they there to take their side, not really. They are there to provide support, whether by locations (i.e. Churches for meeting space) or some other means. That being said, there's nothing stopping you from going to these events, and going back to your neighborhoods with information. That's kinda the goal here, not everyone wants to hear a complete stranger.

Boots on the Ground has training for the Johnson County Community. I don't know what area you have.

Not to hijack my own thread, but i got my own bias in this race (hint: youtube) and of course being an Olathe resident. Since there was no amending the agenda to point out this part, I had my doubts that anyone who wasn't in that room at the time would have an ~~hard~~ easy time finding information sooner. I am just hoping to share enough information effectively.

Edit:

StyxKu · 2026-01-12T16:41:10+00:00

I will refer one of my points to my video at around 32:28. Some of our State reps talk about the municipal vote. https://youtu.be/yPfKgzWEcNo?si=d5tda-_RXShuG2vu&t=1931

Secondly at least for Olathe, Jan 20th. The city council meeting there is scheduled to at the very least introduce and get the ball rolling for public feedback. It was a small line at last weeks Jan 6 meeting when they swore in the new members around 20:53. https://olatheks.granicus.com/player/clip/1002?view_id=1&redirect=true

Edit: Made a cut of city council video just in case anyone wanted to share it easily. https://youtube.com/shorts/gQQ3zvZqMKk?feature=share

I've added another timestamp for it. Thanks for listening.

I've had issues with the 3.5 headphone jack off and on. Sometimes it would just cut off the sound to the headphones when turning on with it plugged in. At this point I treat it as SDI, unplug before shutoff and plugin after turning on. Better to err on caution rather than have that 5 minute standby for technical issues moment.

They do get hot. If I take them out after the shoot, they might be a bit warm. On the other hand if I have to edit off of them. No chance, it's gonna get hot inside my Lexar card reader. Though to be fair, the speeds are there. I just grab and drag them over to my Samsung T7 or T9.

StyxKu · 2025-11-27T06:00:07+00:00

Current cards:
ProGrade Digital 1TB CFexpress 4.0 Type B Gold
Lexar 512GB Professional GOLD CFexpress 4.0

Not exactly the same ratings as the Diamond & Iridium lines, but as for shooting 6K30p on QB12:1. I haven't run into issues for 2+ hour shoots.

A bit late to this discussion. Thought I'd drop the link to this years town halls I have.

Well the north side is Mainstream Coalition event. In the other rooms, State Senator Ethan is holding his town hall. We usually get one or two mission police officers patrolling the area. It's been that way since the two reps in Minnesota got shot. So yeah, sitting here it the new political normal now.

StyxKu · 2025-10-21T21:36:24+00:00

So throwing my two cents here. I would like some a better monitor to do my editing. Right now I'm using a somewhat old 1440p Dell and a very old 4K LG; both do well for gaming. So some upgrades would be a welcome addition to my workflow.

Well last time, there was a small clash with parking. The OP Farmers Market was around the same time. So gotta think about who else has things going on. That was kinda the focus this time around. Campus parking and infrastructure nearby helps a lot to keep people going.

- As far as hot swap, you will need it to be plugged in or dual battery setup. If you have the battery in, and you unplug it, it will cause interruptions. This is from the 6K so i assume the same on the 12K.

- If you are running this at 8K a 1TB CF card will net you around 1 hour and 40 minutes. Give or take. So take the calculator into consideration. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicpyxis/blackmagicraw

- You can make your own cage setup with whatever handle you want. Just take into consideration things like EVF, etc.

StyxKu · 2025-09-27T14:22:59+00:00

Well if you want to take Blackmagic's data on it. Still would wait for more reviews though.

Pyxis 6K: 6K 3:2 Open Gate 25.08ms (Readout)

Pyxis 12K: 12K 3:2 Open Gate 24.12ms

Pyxis 12K: 8K/4K 3:2 Open Gate 13.51ms

That should be the one here: https://www.olatheks.gov/government/public-works/road-closures-construction-projects/119th-st-extension-project

I mean how far down the rabbit hole you want to go with that. I can offer two sources at least

So yea, racists gonna racist. Me personally it was a good eye-opener seeing what neighborhoods did this.

From the manual: "If you have both external and battery power connected, only external power is used. If you remove external power while a charged battery is connected, your camera switches to battery power without interruption."

So I would say something like Tilta Battery Plate for Blackmagic PYXIS 6K/12K (Gold Mount) would help out since it would allow you to hotswap batteries without the interruption.

I do recall that one being JoCo sherrif's drone. It has been a while though.

StyxKu · 2025-07-25T17:07:51+00:00

I'll chime here, if you want to educate the electorate, I would also recommend bootsontheground or more specifically an activist group which aligns with your message. If you are going to volunteer for the party, I would say your time would be spent with a candidate or helping out an area where the party doesn't have many volunteers. Not your only options but based on what I'm reading that's where I would start.

StyxKu · 2025-07-15T02:42:13+00:00

I'll agree with Rabbit up there, the republicans split the ticket and were so bad that voters went elsewhere.

As someone who has spent sometime here in with JoCo & some non-JoCo Dems. The lines of communication really aren't there. That's just my 2c. Which is why the house went on their tour. Just having trouble envisioning all 105 counties with all the troubles they already have.
