Some of the posters here think these guys that wear those vests are all just playing a game.
Depends on the patches on the vest, you can tell which ones are the thugs and which ones are larping.

They've been real quiet since I found out I could frick them up with some grass clippings scattered in the roadway.
Could be worse, the hunters get real mad during bear season on some of the mountain roads and pour out old motor oil on the curvy roads.

Those guys are quite a bit different than the 1%ers. 1%ers are criminal thugs. The weekend warriors like that are a joke.

About Time, he has more kids, but loses access to his dad. That one last time was awful.
re: AI answers the ultimate OT question: Can a 100 unarmed men defeat a gorilla in a fight?

Or 80 men could just throw 20 men at the gorilla repeatedly until they knocked him down then throw the 20 men on top of him jumping on to smother the gorilla as all he could do was bite and grab the dead.
This is the answer right here. Just send wave after wave of men at the gorilla Russian style with the one simple goal of killing the gorilla by being trapped in a pile of dead people. You would kill probably most of the men in the process, but the gorilla would be dead too.
re: Leather iPhone case alternatives?

Mujjo leather case is pretty much an exact match for the old Apple leather cases. I preferred the old Apple leather cases and the Mujjo ones feel and last exactly the same. I think the leather is a bit better quality than the old Apple ones if anything.

Hollywood did this to themselves, with all the coordinators and barriers to filming it.

I was recently wondering if those places are going to hold their value. They developed like mad down there and it is catnip for Boomers. But there's a population dropoff after Boomers and I can't see Gen X moving there at the same rate. Everything there just seems Boomer centric but what happens when they all die or shuffle off to nursing homes?
We aren't going to run out of Snowbird Karens for awhile, I think the villages are safe.

Also - minor visitors are limited to like 2 maybe 3 week passes.
There are ways around it, I know people there that know the tricks. :lol:

This isn’t true. Sure there are some neighborhoods that are geared towards the people working there but that’s a minority of the area - and they don’t get access to the amenities like the 55+ area does.
The young family sections that were built by the villages have their own amenities. The businesses are open to all. People don't have to be 55+ to live there, just 19+ if they have a 55+ living in the home and get access to all the same amenities, so do their "visitors."

Because there is a federal law that allows certain communities to discriminate due to age starting at age 55
Only one person in the household needs to be 55+, everyone else just needs to be 19+ that "lives there." Kids are around as "visitors." Trophy wives are allowed :lol:
That's only for certain areas though. As it expanded and got popular, it's very much open to any age at this point as some sections are designed for young families. It's fast just becoming another suburb.

As far as traffic goes, I didn't experience any as I never got in anything but a golf cart for 5 days
Traffic isn't bad because of all the golf cart infrastructure. It's everything else. It's why they are having to build all these support neighborhoods for new/young families. Start trying to find a doctor, all the other little crap you need in your life. It's just another busy arse upper middle class HOA hell, plus you got to deal with the weather of central Florida. I want out of that grind in retirement. And it is just getting worse as it gets more popular.

What a place, I highly recommend it as a 55+ community.
That shite is too busy. The community has one of the highest growing population of children in the country because of all the support workers they need to run that place. They even have planned neighborhoods for families with young children, so the over 19 thing is now just limited to certain sections.
Just seems like an awful place to live full time in that area of Florida too.

It’s fiction, basic electronic hardening would make that style of attack moot. To really do it on that level of a US take down, the fallout from all the bombs needing to be launched would be a much worse issue than no electricity.
If you want to take down the grid, targeting the large transformers at plants and major substations would be the way to do it. We have temporaries and backups, but if you hit enough of them in one go it takes 18 months+ to go through the process of buying and installing them right now.

I think creality has their own slicer now, I know everyone use to use Cura with the Enders, but I gave mine away when Bambu came on the market. No use messing with that nonsense when I can have a reliable machine I don't have to tinker with anymore.
