luxury handset posted:this happened to me once One Halloween we had the idea of taking my big old Dobsonian telescope out to the sidewalk (along with the big bowl of candy, of course) and letting all the kids going by have a look at the Moon. Unfortunately it turns out kids don't really trick-or-treat after dark anymore, so barely anyone came along.  But a year or two later I went along on an observing camping trip, and quite by chance there was an entire cub scout troop camped right next door. So they all got to look through a bunch of scopes and binoculars at planets and galaxies and nebulae, all narrated by us amateur astronomers gesturing at the sky with our green laser pointers.

"Cyber" is my favorite anti-shibboleth: when someone uses that term, chances are very good they have no loving idea what they're talking about when it comes to any computer-related topic.

Ironically enough, going back and "cleaning up" the crash site (removing and destroying the entire wreck) is exactly what he's in so much legal trouble for.

The original Tiktok is here and it blew up big enough to get some media mentions. But the original TikTok is less than a minute long, and apparently the full-length video will be replacing the creator's co-performer.

I have a friend who keeps ducks as pets and it's great because he's constantly got extra eggs to give away. Free breakfast! (Duck eggs taste similar to chicken eggs and can be prepared in all the same ways.) It's just like your gardener friend who's always trying to get rid of all those zucchini, but higher in protein.

Aramoro posted:What's the point of that though? There's not some sort of secret cabal of organisers to infiltrate, it's just some students doing student things. I could imagine the cops quietly sending someone into the crowd with a hidden cam to get close-up video of the people there, so that if they decide to charge someone after the fact, they'll have a much easier time identifying them. Like if they have a blurry video of a guy in a green shirt and leather jacket throwing a tear gas canister back at the cops, that isn't much to go on if they want to find that guy and make an example of him. But if they have videos from inside the crowd from earlier, there's a decent chance they'll have a good pic of the guy's face somewhere in there. It's not as if it would cost them much to put a body cam on a youngish-looking guy in plain clothes and have him stroll through the protest a few times, but it might net them a bunch of helpful information if they decide to put the boot down.
