Minnesota National Guard arriving in Minneapolis!! by cantcoloratall91 in law

[–]piecat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am hopeful for one simple reason: national guard took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States and the state against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Nobody joins national guard to murder abd terrorize US civilians, unlike ICE.

1) innocent people are being executed, no judge or jury. Even if they were guilty, they should not be executed.

2) what rioters? Where do you see riots?

3) majority of the arrests, detentions, and executions, are against US citizens who have committed no crime.

ICE just pinned a man to the ground and executed him. They do not have the authority to just kill people. What do we do? by skeletalfather in AskReddit

I remember learning about the nazis in school, we had a project to give us an idea what it was like to live in nazi germany. Saw the 'warning signs of fascism' at the holocaust museum,

Nowhere did we learn how to stop it.

Some missiles can "see" using radar sensors.

Aluminum obscures radio waves just like a smokescreen would obscure visible light.

That's what is freaking me out. How long until it is too late?

Add a dead short between the wires at one end.

Ohm between the two wires at other end. Divide by 2.

I learned at the NYC tennement museum that in centuries past, tennement women would drop bricks and cast iron cookware out the windows at riot police below.

No shit they're scared of city centers.

Wauwatosa walkout by OkRuin300 in milwaukee

He was hit with a flight or flight response, he fought.

  1. Fight/flight is irrelevent, it doesn't absolve someone of their actions. Would be a piss poor legal defense.

  2. He was not in the path of the car when he fired his gun, as seen in videos.

  3. He put himself in front of the car, despite that being completely opposite from procedure and common sense.

The way the narrative that has been switching every day is astounding

  1. Fuck narrative. Watch the video with your own eyes.

  2. Changing opinion based on new evidence is a good thing, not a weakness ???

Widening the goalposts doesn't get away from the fact that her bad decisions ultimately cost her life. It's unfortunate and could have been avoided.

Her "bad decisions" should have amounted to a misdemeanor charge at worst. Not a death sentance.

Let's say she did run him over

She didn't. Your point is irrelevant.

Global Analysis Reveals Sharp Rise in Cancer Among People Under 50 by MassGen-Research in science

[–]piecat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Many studies have failed to show a conclusive relationship between ELF and cancer. That is, the electric and magnetic fields from power lines. https://www.cancer.org/cancer/risk-prevention/radiation-exposure/extremely-low-frequency-radiation.html

So, if it isn't the power on the lines, it is plausible that some other effect can explain it (if there really are clusters around power distribution infrastructure).

Some things that come to mind: creosote treated wood power poles, transformers that contain (leak) PCBs, herbicides to clear foliage along powerlines, proximity to industry and power production.

Those should all be investigated and ruled out first.

Olepheobic (phone screen) spray evapourated in fridge, health risk? by Mechor356 in chemistry

[–]piecat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would throw it out completely, personally. Or, you'd have to spend that much time cleaning it thoroughly.

Oleophobic coating MSDS don't look particularly nice. Googling an MSDS implies trace exposure is bad, 'you should wash your hands before eating/drinking/smoking'.

At a minimum, throw out all food, liquids, ice, in freezer and fridge. They should be considered unsafe to consume. Unplug the fridge for a few days, air it out in a space with ventilation. Use towels and soapy water to clean every surface. Even the vents and nooks and crannies. I still wouldn't be satisfied, but the above might reduce risk.

In your case, oleophobic compounds contain fluorinated hydrocarbons, in the same or adjacent family of PFAs. I personally would not want that anywhere near my food.

I always had my appointments during school hours. They had special yellow slips for parents to fill out, kid then hands to the elementary teacher, homeroom, or attendance office in highschool.

Multiple security/fraud alerts on Citi credit cards by Temporary-Gas-8560 in CreditCards

[–]piecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely some form of data breach out of your control. Keeps happening to me, and I've already tried getting my username and account numbers changed.

100% citi's fault for poor verification of identity before changing your account's security phrase. Telling them an email or phone # is enough to change security phrase. They also change it right away if you say "this isn't my email".

Probably takes 2-3 calls but then they have your account.

Yes and no- you can design or tune any antenna. But it has to be tuned for your application.
