So what’s the leading theory on this guy? He was always horrible but we didn’t know? His brain turned to mush and Uber conservatism after the accident? Russia or whomever now have shit on him? He just turned super self interested and saw there’s more money in being a Trump lackey?
I don’t know her at all - is that BPD diagnosis something confirmed, thet she shared and all?
I have terribly mixed feelings about people with BPD.
On one side, lots of empathy: they often feel miserable and (not always, but) very often their BPD is the result of trauma or abuse.
On the other, and having lived it for a decade and a half: they can make the lives of people in their surroundings an absolute abominable horror-movie type of nightmare.
It’s actually treatable but not all people with BPD seek treatment, it’s a tough one.
I’m wondering what would or will happen when the Newson, Sanders, AOC, etc start to make messages intended directly for members of the armed forces, saying “this gov is no longer legitimate as it has broken it’s oath to the Constitution. You shall not obey unconstitutional orders”… Particularly if and when some generals follow suit…
Dangerous, but not more so than this fascist government…
So… what’s the real endgame here? What’s the agenda?
Is it strictly some mind bogglingly dumb but well intentioned effort to do what they genuinely believe is what’s for the best of human health, with a complete absence of understanding of how to apprehend let alone interpret the most basic of scientific studies?
Could a large cluster of people really be that skull fuckingly brain damaged?
Or - and I’m very cautious to not claim this as fact - is there some actual further nefarious agenda at play? (Which I’m having a bit of a hard time articulating?)
Is it an “X superpower has dirt on the administration, and is pushing for things that will harm the US in order to comparatively increase their international standing and influence” kind of play?
Or some “make them even more weak, sick and bankrupt (and having less access to education and critical thinking), they’ll be easier to control and manipulate” kind of play?
Or an “if we make public health even worst than it is now, we’ll (somehow?) find a way to privatize even more health related see stuff? (I don’t know what’s left to privatize in US health though)” kind of play?
Or literally “we need to fight overpopulation, and the rich will always have access to healthcare and vaccines anyways, so push that shit to eventually kill the poor in droves”?
Fack
Good universe and good dev studio… Ok for once i will be vaguely and cautiously optimistic
Wait, can you genuinely explain your comment? I mean in a meaningful nuanced way?
I want the unimaginable amount of harm Bimbo-Goebbeles is doing to be called out. She’s not just lying, she’s actively normalized institutional gaslighting, basically setting up the premise necessary for the public to have just enough doubt about the veracity of the horrific stuff they’ll hear about that it empowers the fascists to move on to more and more horrible deeds… Holy smokes this bunch is dangerous
So what’s the bigger picture “why” behind this? Why is it so very important to Uber conservatives that Israel be unchallenged as they shamelessly transition from legitimate fury to indefensible carnage?
“systemic human resources roadblock removal”
This might actually be a good opportunity for an AI answer:
–
First, understand the basic principle you’re working with:
Shopping cart wheel locks respond to a specific RF (radio frequency) signal (typically around 7.8 kHz to 10 kHz for many systems, but it varies by brand).
In normal operation, the boundary wire emits this signal constantly.
The unlocking posts emit a different coded signal to reset the wheel.
So to design a portable device that could lock and unlock wheels manually anywhere, you would need:
You must figure out the exact frequencies and modulation patterns used by the cart system.
Different companies (like Gatekeeper Systems, Carttronics, etc.) use slightly different RF signatures.
Usually lock signal = basic broadcast (constant tone) Unlock signal = special modulated unlock code or sequence.
This might require:
A spectrum analyzer
Or reverse-engineering an existing unlock station.
The portable device needs:
A programmable low-frequency RF transmitter (around 8–10 kHz range, low power)
A microcontroller (Arduino, ESP32, etc.) to generate the right modulation if the signal is coded
An amplifier to make the signal strong enough to reach the cart wheels (they usually detect it within 3–10 feet)
Optionally:
Two modes: a “lock” mode (sending the boundary signal) and an “unlock” mode (sending the unlock code).
Low-frequency oscillator (to generate 7.8–10 kHz wave)
Microcontroller (to handle switching, coding)
Coil antenna (for strong near-field transmission — like a small induction coil)
Amplifier circuit (boost the signal so carts sense it a few meters away)
Battery pack (portable, rechargeable — say 12V lithium-ion)
Mode selector switch (Lock / Unlock)
Simple microcontroller code to:
Emit plain carrier signal = Lock mode
Emit modulated code = Unlock mode
Example (pseudo-Arduino code):
if (mode == LOCK) { generateContinuousTone(8kHz); } else if (mode == UNLOCK) { generateUnlockCode(); }
Matching signal format exactly: If the unlock signal is digitally modulated (like FSK or ASK), you must match the timing perfectly.
Power levels: Too much power could fry circuits or interfere with nearby electronics. Keeping it safe is key.
Legal considerations: Broadcasting radio signals, even low-power ones, can be restricted depending on the country.
Simple Concept Sketch:
[Portable RF Cart Lock/Unlock Device]
Size: About a large walkie-talkie
Two buttons: Lock / Unlock
Coil antenna: About 3–6 inches
Range: 1–3 meters effective
Display: Small LED indicators (Locking / Unlocking / Signal OK)
In short: You’re essentially building a portable invisible “fence” generator with two channels: a “keep away” signal (lock) and a “come back” signal (unlock).
Interesting thank you! Not yet the tiny no bells no whistles electric pickup I’m hoping for, but it’s nice to see Canadian alternatives for things i didn’t know we did!
I would add something about the minimum “decent roommate” amount of maintenance that the paying roommate still has to do, to avoid them gradually becoming more and more of an intentional slob, and treating the cleaning roommate like a servant
My exact thought! I wish a Canadian startup did exactly that, I’d buy one immediately
Right? I mean hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but come on…
Now it means technically you’d need some kind of shared enforcement accountability - but how to make any congress-controlled or judicial-controlled enforcement group big enough to compete with the US army when push comes to shove… 🤷♂️
All forces of enforcement of laws being created by one branch or interpreted by another being basically under the third, which incidentally is the one branch with an all powerful executive means the whole checks and balances was flawed from the get go, and assumed way too much good faith leadership, IMO
Just donated to Wikipedia. Will do every time this fuckers brings it up
I would say come here to Canada, but… 🤷♂️
His job as the Fourth horseman of the apocalypse? 🤷♂️
Maybe… but there were so many examples of disastrous consequences for introducing a non native species to control a pest (biological pest control), like thr cane toad in Australia, or ferrets in New Zealand, etc…
