Please do not post about the crimes you plan to commit on social media, friends. Cops would love it if you posted about the crimes you intend to commit.

    No one's doing that here, I just like sharing tips about home improvement. For example, did you know that spray foam insulation can be found at basically any hardware store, and can be used to close up gaps in your home? It's better to get the closed-cell type, as it dries into a stiffer, more durable material that lasts longer. You can also find sprayers that have long hoses for insulating the difficult-to-reach areas of your home.

    Also the liquid and fumes aren't good for you, so make sure you use it in a well-ventilated environment and wear appropriate protective clothing like gloves, high-coverage sleeves, and a mask as needed.

    What do I do if I want to reach a high area in my roof, like ten feet above me? Hose extensions are floppy.

    If you can find the kind that has a rigid wand like this, that would be easiest. gwcrmTCC0wJ0evI.jpg

    But if you're using a can or small sprayer, I think your best bet would be a lightweight, collapsible stepladder. They make some that are easy enough to carry around with you so you can insulate your entire home without having to carry a lot of heavy equipment.

    ooo, i bet i could fit like three of those backpacks into the crate of my cargo bike. caulking aside (and who doesn't love talking about good caulk), that is giving me pest control ideas. also croissant or pancake ideas for some reason i don't know why we'd need that kind of wand but i know why we'd need that much liquid butter/batter.

    is there a specific name for those backpack containers or are they just "backpack jugs"

    ...so what? It's foam. It's not special glass and metal bonding foam, it's just foam.

    Yeah. They also love it when there's a specific date to ensure they have extra patrols nearby. Rebellions need to be unexpected and anonymous - an event that people are encouraged to publicly post about and participate in sounds like a trap.

    Eh they can't be everywhere at once. If there's no specific location I don't think it matters too much.

    Sure, but they can increase the amount of cops working that night, and make sure that stay near the cameras. Might not make much of a difference in big cities, but smaller towns that only have a few cameras will probably be watched with much more scrutiny.

    Yeah any community that dedicates officers to watch cameras on halloween and then sees a kid run over is going to have a serious fucking shitshow on their hands, so I doubt they'll be watching them.

    our community got its officers out on the streets on halloween and we've had far fewer incidents.

    hard to tell whether this is part of the underlying trend toward less crime or a result of that specific action, as i'm not a crimeologist, but when i smell correlations shit i point at it.

    I plan to spend a quiet evening at home, giving candy to children. Just like everyone else as far as I'm concerned.

    Just because it's super important.

    DO NOT TALK ABOUT CRIMES YOU COMMIT OR POST THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

    There are two types of criminals, those that keep their mouth shut and those getting arrested.

    If you somehow get approached by police, DO NOT SPEAK TO THEM AT ALL. Explicitly state that you want a lawyer to represent you and that you will not be speaking or answering any questions. The only questions you have to legally answer (in most jurisdictions) is to identify yourself. Once you have done that, ask for a lawyer and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

    There's a time and place to talk and it's with your lawyer present.

    And even that, you only NEED to identify in a traffic stop. A cop cannot just ask for your ID as you walk down the street without reasonable suspicion of a crime. That's the fourth amendment. Ask the crime you committed, get it all on video, because if they didn't have that suspicion you got a civil lawsuit.

    Theses are unconstitutional and are violating your fourth amendment rights. No law to break removing shit that is breaking the highest law of the land.

    Anyone who damages these cameras was actually at my Halloween party, they had 2 drinks and were dressed as a hamburger. They slept here and left the next morning.

    They were also at my conspicuously beefy Halloween orgy

    I don’t know what kind of parties you go to, but I’ve never been to a party where they track the orientation of the guests

    Edit: also, how do you have any kind of understanding of what was going on at my super gay Halloween orgy?

    You misunderstood, it like quantum physics... Everyone who destroys a flock camera was at both of our parties at the same time

    Well, at least we can agree on that

    I was thinking of asking people their orientation but was afraid of collapsing the wave function and one of the crowd favorites was the wave pool

    /s don't take offense im only joking I support everyone of every gender and orientation

    I’m not offended… I’m just trying to figure out that, because sexual orientation isn’t binary, what would the result of a collapsed wave function even be?

    No, Sir, officer.

    I would never. Neither will most of the good men and women here.

    Take your fishing expedition elsewhere.

    I've seen evidence that the fastest way to cut down aluminum pipes is a circular saw. Sawzaws and portable band saws gum up the blades and slow down the cut. Not related, just thought you should know.

    I found a good deal on large diameter pipe cutters, and I like that they are very silent and surprisingly quick to use so I don't disturb my neighbors when I am doing large scale plumbing in my basement.

    I had a dream once about someone cutting vertical pipes just for giggles, and he would always press against the pipe with a gloved hand (gloved for safety reasons), or have a friend do it (also gloved). Dream person told me the force on the pole was to keep the metal pole from biting down on the blade causing binding.

    They said they also prefer a circular saw, but aluminum is pretty soft so you could even cut it with a hand saw if being quiet is more important to you than being quick.

  • source

    Well, yes circular saw would be good and way more compact than a sawz all, but you'll still want a metal blade. The default for any saw will probably be for wood, or maybe a wood and nail blade. That'll take a year and a half to cut through one, and then be ruined.

    It's weird. All the ones near my neighborhood were cut one night and took an absurd amount of damage falling. Almost like they were hit with a bat or 3.

    Crime later? Email your city leaders today! And next week, and the week after… show your face too when you can: no votes for Flock supporters.

    i don't think i need to.

    by the time i make it out to destroy them, the high schoolers will have destroyed them already.

    as we have said before, the kids are alright. the flock camera out by the unofficial kids' rifle shooting range by the tracks is always full of holes. on halloween i'm sure that's going to be all of them around the county (these kids got minibikes)

    No, but there aren't any here.
