re: End of summer recap How much did you spend on your vacation? Spoiler nothing is cheap
Posted by done dancing on 8/20/26 at 6:21 pm to Tridentds
$4800 for 8 days/7 nights at Hard Rock resort in Punta Cana in April. Booked flights and resort in December before fuel prices went up. All inclusive with a day trip on the water with a large group. Sounds like the price was good compared to some of these posts.

Make sure they're good quality with metal ball bearings for the whirly birds instead of plastic. Plastic melts at high speeds i.e. hurricane. This leads to.the turbine freezing and being ripped off. Electric fan motors will always burn up. Electric motor on a solar unit would probably also.

Not true. But keep repeating the lie until it becomes the truth.

Let's assume the cameras are installed and accessed by law enforcement when there is a crime. Assume the cameras then help solve a homicide, kidnapping, multi jurisdiction theft ring, take your pick. Take it a step further, you or a close relative or friend is the victim. Do you agree with their usage now?
Now assume there is no crime. No reason to look at the cameras, no privacy issues? Assume you aren't a criminal, no one is looking for you or your vehicle. These are license plate readers, not what people on this board describe as big brother watching you. There is a difference. So go ahead shake your head at me whilenI enjoy they first hand knowledge that the good they do over rides the conspiracy theories surrounding them. An as I've said before, a positive tool when properly used.

They don't prevent crime. They provide evidence in the totalality of the investigation. Our jurisdiciton has used them to solve murders and other felony crimes, prove complaints of crime that were insurance fraud, hit and runs, etc. Again, it's a tool if used correctly as are all forms of innovations in the free market and goverment. As I stated previously, most people on this forum have no idea what Flock cameras are or what their purpose is. Google could.help explain.

All things can be corrupted. No doubt in people being concerned about their privacy and rights..I'll never argue that. As a tool used correctly, this is a big winner in solving crimes. In the wrong hands, it's as dangerous as the handguns that are routinely stolen from unlocked vehicles.

So your rant about the cameras nefarious usage is contradicted by the criminal using a stolen plate to defeat the system. How ironic.
re: Kane calls for Flock Pause

Because their customer is primarily law enforcement and government. The system is built for that usage. All states and local jurisdictions can participate as they please, meaning it's not integrated in all fifty states and all counties/municipalities in the country. Cameras on interstates are used for traffic management.

You have a problem with your local police, not Flock cameras. Flock cameras ARE NOT red light or speeding cameras. They are not watching you all the time. They are basically LPR cameras, i.e. license plate readers. Enter the license plate number and issuing state.and determine where the vehicle suspected of a crime has traveled. Most people here have no idea what they're talking about. And they are invaluable solving crimes, especially those crimes where the suspects cross jurisdictions. They are not big brother spying on you.

re: Ocd diagnosis
Posted by done dancing on 8/4/26 at 1:13 pm to RandySavage
I'm ADD and OCD. ADD gives me the attention span of a gnat, the OCD balances that. I tell people I'm in crisis management, it's law enforcement, because of this. Chaos is normal to ADD people and OCD allows me to be detail oriented. Together they have made me successful in my work if not irritating to others. As for the dark thoughts, being exposed to what I have seen and had to do in my job causes that from time to time. But I always had them growing up. I laugh at myself and the thoughts go away or I compartmentalize them. My poor daughter has ADHD and that's rough but I can relate so we work together when others don't understand our methodology. Hope for the best and get the help that's available. I feel for you.
re: Tell me about the Disco Era
Posted by done dancing on 8/1/26 at 9:11 pm to FAT SEXY
R&B was in its heyday and crossed over with disco. It was heaven for people who didn't mind a break from an awesome period of rock and roll. It was a great time for music.
re: How is everyone’s A/C units doing right now?
Posted by done dancing on 7/18/26 at 8:32 pm to TDsngumbo
A properly sized unit will run half the day or more. The oversized unit will start and stop frequently and raise electric costs. Undersized will run constantly and raise costs. Trust the installer, not the brand.

I haven't been through the western section of West Virginina so I'm open to anything there off the beaten path.

Aldi had good brats and sausage in general as well as good prices in their meat section. But like the earlier poster, the Midwest has better options especially in Wisconsin and Michigan. Texas is so big it has a lot of every type.

South Louisiana near the gulf is humid. You have to run the a/c to take the humidity out of the air or it will be uncomfortable. If your unit is properly sized or you can zone it with window units or splits, it shouldn't be hard to manage to the heat. As for New York, they voted the mayor in knowing his position on this and other issues. Get what you ask for. Safe summer everyone

The same people who say blacks can't be a QB say whites can't play cornerback. Obviously wrong takes but it transcends to other sports. He's just stating the last 20 years of what basketball has been. Not a far off take even if it's inherently wrong.
