  • There was a time when a story could happen, and literally wighin minutes you’d have multiple sources of video, on the scene, as the story happens.

    I’m not promoting school shootings. I’m not encouraging them. I’m not glorifying them. But there was a LONG time when I expected a high school shooting to happen, and a high school student would livestream it with a hashtag like #schooladdress #help

    Closest I ever saw was Uvalde school security cameras showing police showing up…and being cowards. I will forever call those cowards out. You show up, 30 to 1, all with guns, and you let one student continue to kill at a time when every second is a potential live being saved or lost. They hung out in the lobby. Not only that, they restrained parents from stopping the killer themself.

    In my eyes they didn’t just show up and do nothing in the lobby. They actively aided the shooter that day.

    Sorry, I went off on a tangent, because it still pisses me off. But yeah, I fully expected one day when twitter was still a source for news, to wake up one day, and see an active shooter scene being broadcast from inside a classroom.







  • Civ…7 is coming out??? Oh! Oh! So I guess I’m just going to need a time machine??? Is that it??? Because I’m an adult now!!! Working 6 damn days a week!!! Explain how I can just stop time, and spend 72 hours straight fighting off Gondi and his aggressive ass nukes!!! Explain that shit to me!!! Already work 16 hours a day 6 days a week! Now I gotta defend the world from nukes through politics, and science, and WE ALREADY KNOW WE’RE ALREADY GOING TO BUILD AN ARMY AND BLOW EVERYONE UP!!! WHY WE GOTTA DANCE THIS DANCE???

    huffs…huffs…huffs…

    So how’s everybodys day going? Ready for Thanksgiving? I sure am looking forward to relatives you only twice a year getting drunk and talking politics 3 weeks after the election! What could go wrong???

    Hmmmmm…maybe butter knives are the sharpest thing I should put on this table…



  • But the whole reason I want to do this is to have a cool train come to me, to impress guests.

    I saw a similar concept where a resteraunt had a train serve your food. You order is taken by you on a tabet. A human cooks it in a kitchen. Then a train brings it to your table. It waits for you to grab your stuff, and then it pulls away.

    Now I can’t dedicate a full time human chef to this, and innitially the original idea was beer…and others could adopt this idea for 12oz cans of beer, since beer and soda are the same size, but I figured the next best thing was vending machine sealed snacks, and soda.

    But, to your end, why not just connect all that stuff to a cheap router, and then NOT connect that router to the internet? If the idea is just to check inventory from your sofa, you could connect to that wifi, which IS connected to your tech, but NOT connected to outside the house connections.
