With our increasingly intrusive government I see a lot of peopletrying to justify their actions with rationale like "I don't have anything to worry about because I'm not hiding anything" etc.

Well how far are you willing to go? How much privacy are you willing to give up in the name of security?

On a daily basis I'm reading about violations of our rights, freedoms, and privacy, the latest of which I read about is a town having installed video cameras in public restrooms, recording people even when in bathroom stalls. This has been going on for a good 10+ years and they justify it by saying you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in a public restroom.

So do you agree with this view or do you find it intrusive? Would you allow cams in changing rooms? In your car? Your house? Where does one draw the line?

The news reported is very sobering.

To tell you the truth, I don't think we have ever lived in a truly free country with privacy. That is one thing I want in my life is to be able to do what I what, when I want (as long as I am not endangering someone or something) without the fear of being violated in some manner or another.

Having cameras in restrooms is absolutely unacceptable and should be considered a violation of law. It's offensive to me as a human-being and especially since I'm from the U.S., which is considered "the home of the free". This is obviously not the case in many circumstances, although I do love my country. New Hampshire's state motto says it best; "live free or die".

I think the concept of "Willing" with regard to our privacy (or any illusion of it) no longer applies, and hasn't for a very long time.

  1. Hankhill @ Hankhill: saturn is my go to but i wish they had more variety
  2. S @ Soameguy12: Does anyone know of a solid vêndor who $hips U$-U$ somewhat fast with strong Pýŷros? I’ve been through most the US list but went to interñational and found one on there that has a U$ to U$ section on their bin.
  3. Finger-of-God @ Finger-of-God: usps handles our shipments just fine. 200+ daily, just have to split them up to different locations.
  4. The Doctor RC @ The Doctor RC: Well you know UxPx can't handle the amount of priority mail and FDX is having trouble with business so now they help UxPx handle like a certain percentage of priority mail as far as transportation from location to location
  5. L @ Layne_Cobain: UessPess tracking is agonizingly stupid 😬 😥
  6. O @ ochemdim: Agreed, apologies all. But at the same time I’ve seen articles about spray bottles that are very expensive. Paying more for less when it comes down to it. I think we should help each other out , but this may not be the spot to discuss this topic, you’re right about that
  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: @ochemdim good stuff as always bro
  8. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: got popped*
  9. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Rocky popped. CnC might've dipped.
  10. T @ tito008840: Anyone know what happened to Rocky or cnc?
  11. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: See round like a donut
  12. N @ necromedic: @ochemdim : definitely will. I feel like we should have started a thread about this. Apologies, @Admin if this was improper use of the box. Please purge, if necessary.
  13. O @ ochemdim: @necromedic ah ok interesting! Let me know what the researchers find out. The hypothesis makes sense, only thing I’d be wary of is the irritability of VG, and keep in mind, when VG and HCł are mixed, chlorôhýdrín is produced which is very irritating but that’d have to be pretty strong HÇł I believe and just washing before hand will rid the excess HÇł
  14. N @ necromedic: @ochemdim : anecdotally, especially with the way other people have prepared them with just distilled H2O and maybe EtOH or BA for sterility, I would definitely agree, and I’ve wondered if that it’s due to the speed of drainage with such a low weight solvent. That’s why I’ve experimented with adding VG to increase viscosity to let it hang in the NM a little longer. Possibly more diffusion/osmotic pressure with a dry vs hydrated medium?
  15. O @ ochemdim: @Royboy88, @Layne_Cobain, @necromedic in a couple research papers I’ve read, they always found that the sprays had lower absorption rates compared to traditional. I could be wrong but I’d research it if I were doing a study and needed references
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: @Royboy99 never got to try one of those saline sprays but a snuff bullet is a great compromise love mine Amazon has good ones for cheap
  17. N @ necromedic: @Royboy99: I’ve just held on to one, rinse it with EtOH and refill with saline and VG. You can find the devices, dirt cheap, on a lot of sites.
  18. ms3031 @ ms3031: Anyone ever tried MDBD?
  19. R @ Royboy99: Since C and R are gone sadly are there any vendors that offer ❄️ (c) misters , those were so convenient
  20. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Yeah, be smart, do your research.
