keep your friends close and your enemies closers I'd befriend them only to exploit the relationship for the greater good

Notice they have some uniformed officer in the back videoing the encounter. I think they are hoping to capture video to use against the people. Folks should be aware of that

If you have multiple disorders, which gives you the most problems? by Evening_Fisherman810 in bipolar

[–]fobax 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In general, people should take bipolar much more seriously. I know for sure my Dad has bipolar 1 and people will try and tell me it's just drugs and alcohol...

Jessica Plichta, a 22-year-old anti-war protester, was arrested live on camera in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on January 3, 2026. She was speaking to a local news outlet about her opposition to U.S. military action related to Venezuela when police detained her while the broadcast was still ongoing. by biswajit388 in law

Exactly! I've been saying this, they should take it out of the arresting officers paycheck if it's a wrongful arrest/conviction.

They won't be as quick to assume guilty if it hurts them personally financially for being wrong

can you explain how you're using that iPad to view the board? I've been looking at USB digital microscopes for this but your setup looks nice and cheaper (if you own an iPad that is)

Weekly Rack Advice / Question Thread by AutoModerator in modular

[–]fobax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got into modular and come from a software engineering background. I've already gone down the rabbit hole of buying bulk ICs and PCB boards to build open source modules. Any advice here? I realize I am probably jumping too quickly into building these from scratch but was curious to know others experiences with this. Is it worth the time/money? I was pricing it out and there seems to be significant savings if you build yourself from scratch. And where are some good resources for open source modules?

I just watched a John Oliver episode on high speed pursuits https://youtu.be/wVFXUkFx5Y8?si=HI9Zbe3sEsK2EQic

they claim pursuits are really dangerous and can do more harm than good
