Carol? Is that you? Boy, you'd think after 30 years the bad dreams would stop but.... sorry, I digress. I'm sure most people here can relate but on a much, well a little bit, smaller scale They went on one date, he tried to get away but 17 months and 65000 texts later with no response and blocking her out of where ever possible she broke into his house for a bath. Then went to his place of work and said she was his wife. https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/11/us/woman-text-message-arrest-trnd/

Every job has things that you can get away with and things that you can't and when I say get away with I'm including things that don't get investigated because they frequently happen anywas. I was wondering if this might be one of those, if for instance, straps broke accidentally a lot and it was just accepted so he'd probably get away with it. Or is he just an idiot?

That shooting was easy to understand; The silicon chip inside her head got switched to overload. And she lived across the street from the school. Whatever set her off that particular morning, if she'd lived across from a grocery store it probably would have been a bad day for early bird shoppers. After years of being in trouble and being declared suicidal, when she asked for a radio for Christmas her excuse for a father gave her the gun instead. More like than likely she's correct in assuming he was hoping she'd kill herself with it.

The real winner is still the good old hardwired security cameras connected to a DVR but there are times when getting coax from the camera to the dvr is a deal breaker.

I've got several that I'm trying to compare. A couple of them will work on my Mac with no extra software at all, a few will run on third party software like SecuritySpy or Periscope. And some of them, despite what they say in the ads and sometimes even on the box won't run on Mac OS at all, only iPads. At least I'm not paying for them, but I even hate wasting other people's money. And my time and effort.

My guess would be in the 80's, when the 'higher' performance 7-cells were the norm. Ravens, Cruiselites, Comets, Pegasus', those sorts of canopies. When you could skydive and base jump with the same gear. I kind of liken that era to the muscle car era of the 60's and 70's. They didn't go as fast or handle as well as what you can get today, but they were badass and we had a lot of fun with them. That's a good description. My Cruiselite was like a Hemi, tiny ZPs are like Maseratis. I loved that Cruiselite.

All the cameras I've used in the past decade use a USB interface and automount like a USB storage device when plugged in. Is there any reason to think this camera won't do the same? These are video cameras. But the software they send will only run on a phone or pad, so if you want to monitor the camera you have to walk around staring into a phone. Which I suppose would make some people feel right at home, but I'd much prefer to access them from one of my computers. Some of them will work with third party software, which is expensive but the way to go, but not all. But the vendors don't even know any OS except maybe Windows so you don't know if it will work or not until it gets delivered. It's like the late 80s again and trying to get drivers for something.

We may not have flying cars yet but we've sure got Greyhound busses in the sky.

How do you tell a troll from someone who just isn't smart enough to know what he's saying? Well, it's like on the new version of Westworld when the guy is hitting it off with a girl then says "but are you real?" and she says "if you can't tell the difference does it matter?"

Really old. Compared to IOS, the operating system that runs on iPads and iPhones, Mac OS software is very hard to write. When writing for IOS it's much much easier and the interface is pretty much created for you. So it's also a lot easier to cludge up some piece of crap software that should have never been released but they put it in the box so they can say IOS App included. Ok, but that's not what I'm complaining about. This happens over and over and my question back to them is "why would I by a piece of equipment from someone who doesn't not only doesn't know the different between IOS and Mac OS but doesn't even know there is one? I just had this exchange, but it's typical. I posted this question to their board. The ad says Mac OS but has anyone tried using it from Mac OS, will I be able to access the camera from my Macintosh? And got this answer. I would say yes. We used it with our I-pads while travelling and it worked perfectly. Sometimes it's physically painful to not be able to reach out and slap the person you're trying to talk with.

....wing loading vs. experience and decide education is better than regulation. Derek V And about those cameras...... Guns are like gravity, we're not going to eliminate them and we might not be too happy if we did. Like nolhtairt said, what changed? We have school shootings and a surge in teen suicides. Why? Are we willing to discuss solutions that might mean giving up something we don't want to give up?

If we approached skydiving the way we do school shootings we'd endlessly debate how to eliminate gravity and never bother with parachutes. Then wonder why people keep dying.

Um, no. I'll have to concede that the prospect of the decreased crime rates associated with immigrant populations is worrisome. Those FACTS have been quoted again and again. In these forums and others. Including the net positive effects of immigration to GDP. Unfortunately the misinformed,those who are so predisposed to tribal politics, etc. Will likely never change their minds. The current republican administration and FOX news count upon that for their survival. So the dialog that every immigrant from central America is a MS-13 gang member. That they are all rapists, murderers and thieves. Is seized upon by trump and repeated ad nauseam on his teleprompter, FOX. Then parroted by his supporters. Speaking of parroting, now we'll except one side of a highly debated topic, one put forward and argued by immigrant support groups, and label it fact because it's been repeated on here so often. What's next, the two fifty cookie?

Getting to use dynamite? What more reason do you need?

We should keep them out or make them legal. One or the other. Otherwise it's starting to sound way too much like a Confederacy Fundraiser.

Did you know Berkeley Breathed is active on his FB page and releasing new Bloom County work regularly? https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=berkeley%20breathed%27s%20bloom%20county j I let them build up until they come out in a book then "get it for my wife" for Christmas.

We have a system that depends on letting immigrants in so they can pick our grapes, slaughter our chickens and mow our lawns. But we have to keep them illegal or we'd have to pay and treat them like human beings.

But what is the alternative? If we patrol certain areas then people die in the heat crossing in others. Or they get cheated raped and murdered by their own coyotes. It's a huge deadly mess. IF, and I'm still at the IF stage, but if it would work and nothing else does then wouldn't it be worth the cost?

"The years after high school were pretty good to me. I lucked into a very good job at Bell Telephone and I'd pull into a gas station in the evening and one of the high school bullies would ask if I wanted him to check the oil. The football heroes were best though. Their name got them a job selling insurance, but the fame faded, the gut sagged and hair thinned as they trudged around trying to sell enough policies to pay the rent and alimony." And yes, I'm talking about just a few years out of high school. Those jerkoffs went downhill fast.

They'll take my social media away when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

"If it's not a gun issue why is the issue non- existent in other developed nations - those that have sensible gun laws? " I think it's the combination of easy access to guns and the unbearable levels of emotional pain caused by bullying amplified many many times by social media. So, eliminate one and things calm down. But which one?

But even if 500 of the bullied students in a high school deal with it, it only takes one who can't. Add to that the 24/7 aspect that things like Facebook have added and how long until that one kid snaps, gets a gun or a can of gasoline with a rag stuffed into the cap and goes out in a blaze of glory?

So you support letting MS-13 in. Is that what you're implying? Not all immigrants are bad. But those are the worst. Trump was clearly referring to them in his comments, but like I said, the libtard media jumped on it and reported it without the context. Oh and fuck the KKK. I've said before I don't like them. They have no place in society, and neither does MS-13. Build the damn wall. It's working pretty good for Israel. You do know that MS-13 is an American gang? Born in LA. The gang may have been but the members weren't. I don't care where they were when they named it.

"As for "the wall" and comparisons to Israel, sure, build a 440 mile wall as protection against terrorist trying to physically infiltrate your border. Unfortunately our border is 1954 miles and people crossing doesn't equate to bombings and murders inside our borders. And sorry to say but MS13 is home grown. Yes, they also go back and forth across our borders by various means to include physically sneaking across the border but that's a really really dumb way to spend money if your target is to stop what what MS13 does. " I thought MS13 is part of the reason half the people in Honduras want to come to the US, despite the US government warning them that they're here too anyway. And my problem with the comparison is that I LIKE animals.
