Be forewarned, I am deeply unserious about a great many things.

I mean like fuckin seriously. with a little bit of tweaking these things could provide the wearer with a ton of protection. multiple layers of air cushioning can decelerate and catch stuff just like the multiple layers of kevlar.

I wonder if you could equip these suits with CBRN filters and stuff.

Equip it with a filter system and maybe a bit of compartmentalization in the inflated portions. I bet they could defeat irritants AND mitigate rubber bullets

at this point, the amount of access somebody would need to find and cancel a guy's flight like this indicates that maybe it's a good idea to say "We fled to Europe yesterday" rather than "We're leaving for Europe soon"

also suggests it'd be safer to B-line NJ to Canada and fly from Toronto

It's usually done through sam(dot)gov

That's the government contractor website.

You can see who was awarded the contract. Search by date and region and such. Or just get a picture of the portajohn and Search that company name on the website to pull it up

Lol they didn't even seal any of the cuts or the butt ends. You can literally see it's checking and rotting in one of the photos.

Timberdoodle @timberdoodlydoo.bsky.social · 8h

Those are cull logs, so they probably got them for dirt cheap. The cuts are easy to make with a chisel and a chainsaw, and the bolted eyelets probably cost 5 bucks each. Bet it'll rot out within a year or two.

Somebody probably charged them through the nose for it too

True story:
1. Guy blows through stop sign on residential street next to a preschool, almost killing me + my dog
2. I catch up at next stop sign and tell him off
3. Woman onlooker backs me up, standing in front of his car
4. Guy bumps woman with his car then drives FULL CITY BLOCK with her on hood!

Constant Scream @ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 10h

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

Huh weird. Is there a provincial natural resources department around? I wonder what they would say. If it is river otters, DNRs usually keep track of weird populations like that.

"Meche" works making raisins in Fresno CA. Fresh grapes are placed on sheets of paper and then laid on the sand between rows. The suns heats the sand and dries out the grapes. She can feel the heat from the sand through her shoes while she earns 35 cents for each sheet. #WeFeedYou

Yeah those look like river Otters to me. Where is this? Is this like a brackish interchange or near like a river Delta or something?

Wife and I already pay more taxes because we don't get the Child Tax Credit, hoss.

William B. Fuckley @opinionhaver.bsky.social · 14h

My most controversial take on this is probably that while I think reproductive freedom should be sacrosanct, I don’t really have any problem with additional taxes on (high income) childless people. Someone gotta pay into the pensions!
