He never said they aren't going to kill anyone.

He said they aren't going to kill many.

Which is true, up until a bunch of people pull guns, and then they'll kill everyone.

Show them a gun and you better be prepared to pull that trigger the moment they see it, because you're going to die.

In a tense situation where there's been some minor violence, a gun will immediately escalate things to a lethal level.

Stick to what I said and don't make up stuff in your head please. I'm not against forceful opposition - rocks fly, things catch on fire, barricades get erected.

But don't give them an armed conflict where they will 100% win, and much more easily spin it to fit their agenda.

That's exactly what the Hamas attacks did - those fucking morons opened the door and put down a red carpet for Israel to get away with launching a full out "justified" war.

Pfff hahahaaahahaha!

You know we party hard because there was a plate with leftover food bits, and check this madness - an empty ice-cream cup!

Partying like rockstars out here.

Holy shit. Goon squads. They don't even identify themselves??

Imagine a hypothetical scenario where a group of random citizens gang up on an ICE agent during their Sunday stroll and handcuff them, and throw them off a bridge somewhere, handcuffs still on.

How would a sheriff know that they aren't ICE agents themselves? Or are we going by skin colour?

The average (median) price of trucks fluctuated in 2024. It started the year at a relatively high $16,000, before gradually declining to $11,400 in June

They're much cheaper in Ukraine, random source.

Will you stand up and take your chance?

This is the correct outcome.

All state officers need to back their citizens, and protect them against the illegal overreach by the Federal government.

Citizens in turn need to be protective and collaborate with their state troopers, while mounting civil resistance to the whitehouse lapdogs.

Open carry would have stopped NOTHING.

Flashing a gun at those GI Joe wannabes would have triggered their tiny brains to go into shoot to kill mode, and it would have been a massacre.

These dimwits are trained for full blown military responses. That's easy for them, they have the gear, the training, and the psychopaths to shoot on sight.

What they can't handle is massive civil disobedience, because they can't arrest 100k, 500k, 1 million people who are out there lawfully protesting.

But it's nutjobs like you, or that moron who sped their car at the agents, who will fuck it up for everyone.

Don't bring your gun. Keep it at home, and if shit gets to the point where they start killing people, then defend yourself.

Russia rubbing their hands in glee, all those years of social media manipulation finally coming to fruition.

I'll disagree. An altered state of mind is altered, by definition, so it's not like people are in their perfect mind. I'm not saying that they should in any way be excused of consequences for their actions, just that an altered state doesn't fully represent who they normally are.

As for conditioned responses, they are learned, yes, but they become an automatic neural response to a stimulus.

We can become aware of these responses, and actively work to inhibit it, but it's an active effort to suppress the ingrained behaviour and when impaired, this suppression would fail.

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
