    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    Perhaps it would be better to say that Hamas wants to do this, as does the leadership in Iran. I have no doubts that 90%+ of all people on either side just want to live their lives in peace, but there are plenty of bad people who recruit and brainwash vulnerable people to their sides.

    Lost recordings; BI issue or disk issue?

    Yes, files were deleted from the drive. No errors on the windows side. I do notice that there is an S.M.A.R.T. "warning" status, but no erroes, all the attributes are OK... It's been about 48 hours since the latest mass erasure... holding my breath...

    Lost recordings; BI issue or disk issue?

    Have been running BI for a few years now, and it's been very stable, thanks to the help I've gotten from reading the forum... until now. Running on i5-8500@3GHz, 32GB RAM, 256G SSD for OS, 7TB WD for recording. A few days ago, I get a warning that my drives are over-allocated, and the...

    Nah, Nah, California reissued black plates starting around six years ago. They look a lot nicer than the standard ones, but come with an extra annual cost.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Do you seriously think that was what the person above was saying? You're creating a straw man to justify the reckless manner in which so many states have implemented vote by mail.

    ...except that's a lie. Nobody is trying to BAN books unilaterally. There are some who rightfully want to not allow children to see material that is not age-appropriate. If you can't see the difference, you're part of the problem.

    The Democrats will be on it shortly... In an effort to stem the use of illicit drugs, they will soon be putting waiting periods on prescriptions picked up from pharmacies, as well as background checks and banning more than a 30-day supply, because nobody needs 90 days of a medication. These...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Good. Now all corporations, sports, etc. should follow suit. The best "position" to take on this virtue-signalling nonsense is to just not take one. Don't say a thing.

    Exactly. The proper normalizing factor is percent of criminals of a certain race, not percent of general population. The same is true for number of injuries caused by cops-- normalize it to the racial makeup of the department. And regarding the latter point, if 49% of injuries were "caused"...

    A man can dream, can't he?

    What I learned in EVOC (emergency vehicle operations) is that deadly force is warranted when a cop is shot at, no matter what the form it comes in. Running down the suspect is a 100% valid tactic.

    What a bunch of idiots, thinking that we are a bunch of idiots. No, inflation is NOT at the lowest level. The rate of change of inflation is at a lower level, but the overall effect of inflation is cumulative.

    It would be nice if they could spell, however... It's "wiener", as in Wien (Vienna) sausage. Pronounced in German, that would be "big fat whiners".

    In this case, I view it more as leveling the field between the fuel taxes paid on gasoline and the lack of any taxes paid by electric vehicles. Roads don't repair themselves (nor do states like California, but I digress), and it is a legitimate function of government to collect taxes to pay for...

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    Check the news. The unelected nazis at CARB (appointed by the idiot leftists elected in this dump) have now banned diesel train locomotives older than 23 years old, as well as adding a host of other restrictions/regulations. The only glimmer of hope is that this must be approved by the Feds...

    A local was telling me that a friend of his went to college with her, and said that, without a doubt, she was the smartest person he ever met. I laughed in his face, and asked if "went to college" was code for something, because she's a f-ing moron.
