Imagine if a cat or dog or child messes with it. Or if somebody knocks it over. One of the advantages of spring or glue traps is they don't pose a significant danger to creatures not targetted.

Here we're taking a device used to kill humans and using them in a trap.

    Screens keep prisoners mollified, cell phones keep prisons from nickle and diming prisoners. Idk if this is tate or his lawyer or whatever posting this.

    The only reason not to give people cell phones is if their crime was facilitated with one or if they were being egged on to commit crimes online/or by persons they know.

    The risk is of course that the outside world can manipulate things in in the prison

    If anything it shows for profit monetization eventually destroys every information stream. In NYT case they hired Bari Weiss who has gone on to turn news companies into right wing propaganda outlets. They've been a shitshow for a long time.

    Its past time that every county in the US had like a gov funded local nonprofit newspaper to report on local events. Or even funnier make it funded by congressional district so gerrymandered areas get some weird ass shit.

    The threat of being made to recall them is one of the safeguards here the second the company is told by their lawyers they will lose a "voluntary recall" becomes inevitable. These companies will only get more... entrepeneurial about food safety the more the threats are taken away and the big one was always food testing.

    I'm trying to work out how to model the destruction of the towers using glizzies. What would I have to build the towers out of if I wanted to throw hotdogs at them to destroy them?

    Cardboard is obviously too strong. Wax paper has too much tensile strength but crumples satisfactorily. Does anyone have ideas on what I should use as the tower materials?
