Isn’t that an anime page?

I’m not reading all that, but skimming through, I see RCA cables.

RCA is still sending analog signal, so things like cable quality are what used to matter, and don’t much anymore in the digital age… But gold-plated connectors, actual core copper being OFC not CCA, what gauge (true 16ga or a lot of cheap sheath)?, are they twisted pairs to reduce interference/cross-talk, is it shielded, what sheath material, the list goes on…

Monster brand cable made a name for itself back in the day for having actual quality cables for the most part, so the noticeable difference in quality paid off… Anymore, again, generalizing, a digital cable is a digital cable (like HDMI) and therefore you either have signal or you don’t. No static, no interference, etc. A cheap $8 HDMI 2.1 cable on eBay will land you NEAR identical to “top” brands like audioquest shit and so on… They bank on the ideas of old where a supposed top end cable matters. So they charge a stupid premium for stupid people.

I’ve been doing Pro AV on and off for close to 30 years, but don’t take my word for it lol. I don’t have immediate documentation or sources, just experience. And I know what works and that 99.999% of people will never know most digital cable brand differences like the analog days.

There are enough people locally to interact with?

That’s funny, bc they had chat bots in the early 00s doing the same thing. Ask me how I… Actually pls don’t 😅

I jokingly told some friends its like a IRL Westworld, but also humans and not robots (yet).

I don’t follow this stuff much, but I’ll tell you one thing:

There’s a huge void following his arrest and untimely death, so who’s there picking up where he left off? Like the Sinaloa cartel situation. Now that tech has gotten better with encryption and the scapegoat is gone, how much worse do you think it is now than before?

Personally, IMO there are waaay more tech magnates with vastly disposable income. You can put the puzzle pieces together.

As much as my wife hates me for it, yes, I regulate screen time. My 16yo hates me too, but they’ll get over it lol

This is a terrible idea!

That’s funny! I’ve thought about that too. Since most of them won’t have ID or any way to show who they are, you’d blend in

I never said first, nor only… Just pointing out that we outnumber them, we have the ability to meet force with force, and they’d quickly be discouraged from wanting to go back to work for fear of violence against them.

They need to know we’re not weak, and that is why I think, that they think they can do what they want and get away with it. They’re the wasps and we’re the bees. They’re only going to get away if so much until we have no other choice!

When can the military steps in to defend us from threats - mainly domestic- namely being Trump’s absolute abuse of power?!

I’m not condoning violence nor is this a call to action, god forbid(got banned from reddit for “violence” against AI by the modbot lmao), but it’d be a darn shame- a tragedy rather- if someone stood up to ICE with the same force they’ve been using.

This is why the 2nd amendment exists. This right here. I bet most those plate carriers aren’t even stuffed with plates with all the new agents wearing them because there’d be a shortage. Either way, we outnumber all those agents, and all it takes is meeting force with force! I’m also pretty sure all video evidence would be quickly deleted by bystanders lol.

Again, a real shame… But it’s coming sooner rather than later.

Maybe some video doorbell or ext cameras? I know how living in a rural area makes it all feel a bit overkill, but might be worth it for situations like this. I buy off brand cameras where I can pop an SD card in it and it’s free. I installed systems for all family when 2020 got with COVID and the riots over George Floyd and whatnot. We’re in Illinois, rural outside Chicago but still affected. We have a lot of crime come out from Chicago too which sucks as people go around through vehicles all over. I’m also a big tech guy so this was simple enough.

People are too trusting to leave cars unlocked, or too stupid saying locking their door adds a broken window to the lost of things to fix when broken into. However, I reiterate insurance claims and police reports don’t look good when stuff is unsecured.

I don’t have a Facebook, so I can’t look at his account, but the *69 (or *67?) features still work to make anonymous calls, and he probably googled your wife’s name which may have had a public post or mentioning a daughter’s name, or through friends. It doesn’t take long but going down those rabbit holes is ready, and finding info is easy.

Plenty of free sites or apps let you dig up more on people by name, too. That’ll be a good start… However, since they’re already a problem and have a head start, I suggest you just let it go, keep the police report (did you mention the threat to kill?) and maybe follow up. Document all calls even though anonymous, and maybe check if your carrier can block all unknown calls incoming. Don’t get them more riled up than they already are, and hopefully you have sensible home protection (minimum a gun-that you’re familiar with how to use)
