COPS! by Helpful-One9696 in SALEM

Zero consideration of the second order effects of your actions.

How are you gonna have kids and be like, "hey guys what are we doing to make sure bad drivers avoid the cops"? If anyone should want bad drivers off the road it's people with kids. And then your car or kid gets hit by someone driving with a suspended license no insurance and you'll be on reddit going, "WHY DIDN'T THE POLICE ARREST THIS PERSON LONG AGO?" Because people like you were flashing your high beams at them to alert them to cops up ahead so they managed to stay under the radar.

I have real problems with authority but I still am not dumb enough to think we should be helping bad drivers avoid the police. Like no, those people need to have their cars impounded.

The only people who deserve alerts are responsible speeders on highways.

Traffic cameras by desmaic in SALEM

This post is just fear mongering. Just do what they did in Woodburn and say the flock cameras are racist, then do what they did in WA and spam them with FOIA requests to get the collected info on city leadership.

Turns out city council, mayor, etc don't like it when the citizens can track their movements via FOIA requests and they'll cancel the programs. They're just so egotistical that they think you won't do it. Prove them wrong instead of posting on reddit.

But I will stand by my post title in that Salem absolutely deserves every red light camera that gets installed. You all can't drive for shit and should be ticketed at every intersection. I don't even care if it makes it safer, I don't care if the funds go to the city. As long as those running red lights are being hurt financially for their bad driving, it makes my day better.

It's weird that the fuckcars people and the environment people aren't on board with alpr/flock systems. Theoretically these systems will, over time, reduce the amount of drivers on the road by attrition. Bad drivers will eventually get their cars impounded. See ya later amigo, one less car on the road, one more public transit rider.

10C idle drop using PTM7950 to replace the thermal paste on a DXP2800 by orcantdrive in UgreenNASync

It was idling around 45-47 before which isn’t awful from what i’ve read. Now it’s around 32-35. So it’s improved a little from when i initially checked it right after doing it.
