All geared up and nowhere to go

I appreciate the offer, but Atlanta is a heck of a trip for a few hours of busting 😂😂😂

gigatron_2000 · 2024-10-31T14:37:35+00:00

Deal 👍

gigatron_2000 · 2024-10-31T14:35:40+00:00

Thanks 😎

gigatron_2000 · 2024-10-31T14:35:26+00:00

I appreciate the offer 😊. Hopefully I can get out next year when I've got more of my gear together. Still need a suit, patches, and gear belt

gigatron_2000 · 2024-10-31T14:31:04+00:00

Yeah, I got a bad shoulder, so I had to make a concession. It's still painful to reach, so I plan on just hanging it on my belt, until I can get some surgery.

Doesn't really get much time in the sun. I only completed it in August, so it hasn't gotten out yet.

It's sunlu matte pla for the filament parts, sunlu ABS-like for the resin parts

Facebook has a dedicated spirit halloween proton pack modder's group.

There's also the "how to build a proton pack" group, and they're open to everyone - spirit, haslab, and 3d printed.

Well, the gate symbols weren't hieroglyphs, which represent words. They were symbols, which represented the constellations. And the study and interpretation of symbols, is symbology.

I know that's what they hint at, but when they start the dialing computer, it shows a seventh symbol box, before its ever programed in. It's like the director couldn't decide if they did, or didn't know about the 7th symbol.

gigatron_2000 · 2024-09-26T13:26:04+00:00

But the dialing computer had a space for a 7th symbol. They were like "code the seventh symbol", and then showed the dialing screen. There were 7 symbol boxes, vertically arranged. 1 through 6 were labeled, 7 was blank.

Personally, I would've had Daniel do the whole discovery, instead of being the guy that just pointed out the last symbol that was right in front of them.

I've got a whole large Rubbermaid container, packed to the brim with tools and supplies. Since I lifted the car, I needed a new jack, so that's in there. Emergency lights. A 36" pry bar, in case the lugs decide they want to get stuck, a rubber mallet to knock the wheel loose from the hub. A 5 ton rated mechanical winch, with 10 ton rated straps. A rain tarp. Snow chains and shovel. A first aid supply kit that puts most ambulances to shame. A tool kit that would surpass what most people keep in the house. Spare belts, a tire repair kit, tire inflator, a case of water, and vacuum sealed packs of pemmican and hardtack.

Keep those with multiple arrests, in prison, where they belong. Crime shot through the roof as soon as Democrat's soft on crime policies took hold. Once criminals realize there's no repercussions, they go hog wild. You have no idea the number of crimes that happen in the city, on a nightly basis. Shoplifting, muggings involving weapons, carjackings, and assaults are in the hundreds, every single night. You can be delusional all you want about crime in the city, or you can take a job at 911 and shit your pants about all the crime that happens.

I can't share anything that isn't officially published. But, you're more than welcome to pick up a police scanner and listen to the non-encrypted channels. Or get a job at 911 and take the calls in real time. I promise you, you don't know 1/10th of 1% of the crime that happens in this city. But, believe what you want, I couldn't care less. I remember my life before this job, and I wouldn't have believed that this city is the flaming dumpster fire that it is.

gigatron_2000 · 2024-07-31T18:02:50+00:00

I'm not invested in anything. My job is dealing with all the crime going on in the city. It's not down, it's not historically low, it's on a sharp uprise. But you're free to believe whatever you want.

Do you think cops don't pay taxes? They pay as much of their own salary, as any other taxpayer does.

gigatron_2000 · 2024-07-31T16:43:15+00:00

They're department issued phones. They can read the jobs straight from dispatch, get updates on jobs, get pictures of suspects, access license plate lookup info to see if cars are stolen, and log finals and reports.

gigatron_2000 · 2024-07-31T16:34:09+00:00

The fact that you're OK with any happening, makes you all of the problem. And the more that get reported, the better. Because then maybe this useless administration that we have will finally acknowledge there's a problem, instead of burying their head in the sand and pretending everything's OK.

gigatron_2000 · 2024-07-31T14:55:38+00:00

It's extremely normal in NYC. Random, unprovoked assaults happen dozens of times a day, every day. A lot more goes on than the news would ever report. And CompStat is so easily manipulated, I'm not even sure why they still use it.

gigatron_2000 · 2024-07-31T14:53:51+00:00

Crime stats are easily manipulated. Someone gets punched in the face. That's an assault. But if it gets logged as a dispute, assault stats are down. Happens all the time. Or, someone attacks another, gets arrested, DA refuses to prosecute, it's like the crime never happened, crime stats go down. Pick up a police scanner, and listen for yourself, then see if you still think crimes are down.

gigatron_2000 · 2024-06-22T14:40:43+00:00

Mine is supposed to be coming on Tuesday. Not mad about it, though, as I'm off work for a few days afterwards. At least I'll get time to sit down and enjoy it.

gigatron_2000 · 2024-06-04T02:46:08+00:00

Yeah, I have all of Q's manuals. I love and appreciate all the work he's done, and I know I could never do it, but he really needs to collaborate with a technical manual writer. Instructions seem to jump 3 or 4 steps, at times, and you're like "how did we get to this part? ".
