What the problem here is that some now seem to have the expectation of reckless engagement in chases for *reasons*. This isnt a movie. Innocents die that way and as I said you cant outrun a radio. There is not this overwhelming need to go lights blazing in a hell for leather chase - there has to be accceptance that a chase has risks and drat big ones. And most usually when it does go wrong it aint the crim who winds up with a bumper in their skull.

You can't out run a radio, but cops are too busy to babysit a residence for a week waiting for them to go home and get arrested. You chase because you have the perp's location already.

And a lot of time a mask and covering your license plate makes the radio irrelevant in the first place. Radio doesn't matter if you don't know where to go in the first place.

GOD drat IT

One of my cats pissed on my jeans. I didn't notice at first and put them on and slipped my phone into my pocket. When I realized they'd been pissed on I yanked them off and soaked them. I realized 5 minutes later my phone was in the pocket so that's awesome.

Guess I'm using the spyware BLU until I can get a new phone.

But to say you can't pursue a robber on a moped because they aren't wearing a helmet is ridiculously stupid to me. That totally removed all chance of consequence from the crime and its why the problem is getting worse.

but that's not how it works at all, at least according to one of the articles posted during this discussion.

the braying for the blood of crims in here is a bit weird and sick tbh. these people don't exist in a vacuum and despite whatevers behind the poor choices someone's made to become a crim, they are still someones child/parent/sibling. there are people who love and care for these people despite their faults and would much rather see them put behind bars where they at least have a chance for rehabilitation rather than a smear on the pavement.

theres been a sudden spike in a particular sort of crime and people have instinctively clutched their pearls and jerked their knees. it's no secret that the police forces in the uk are suffering from a crippling lack of resources and the situation is complex and needs proper assessment. it all sounds a bit like the "pc gone mad" crowd to me

Galler: Jan 28, 2008

Speaking of cat behavior, my cats are having issues after one of them came back from the vet. One of them got her teeth cleaned yesterday and was at the vet from 8 to 4. I got her home and she's doing fine but my other cat now has no idea who the gently caress this new cat is and spent yesterday evening slowly creeping up to the first cat, sniffing, hissing, and running away. I seperated them overnight and have been trying to reintroduce them to each other today (they each have about half of the house with a screen door in the middle) but so far it's not going well. The chill cat has no idea why her BFF is being all weird which is probably making this harder. I really hope they figure things out but it seems like this might be a long process.

Because if someone is doing criminal activity they will inherently lose some of their rights, as they infringe upon the rights of the innocent and law abiding people. Yes they are human, but they are not keeping up their end of the social contract.

New cat smells like the vet, it happens sometimes. Feliway either helps or doesn't, in my experience it never has. Sounds like you're doing the right thing.

Feeding them while they can see each other might help them associate the other with good feelings again.

Stop blaming the cops for doing their jobs. Nobody is applauding when purps turn themselves into red smears, we just want the criminals to realize that running isn't a free pass.

Yeah, I'm bringing my welding masks to work on the eclipse. We're only 83% but that's still cool.

So I just took my truck into the transmission shop for diag and a rebuild. This is the first* time I've taken one of my vehicles in to be repaired in like 15 years. I feel a little bad, but autos are black magic so I'll leave it to the wizards.

*Had some insurance work done on a motorcycle by the dealer but I had to re-do part so I'm not counting that.

Yeah, but we're taking our time. Getting a room anywhere near totality has been pretty much impossible for anything that isn't $rape$ so we're going to spend the night in Butte. It's only about 170 miles south of Butte (a little better than 2 hours) for maximum totality in the area so not crazy.

rowebot44: Feb 21, 2006

Speaking of Roadkill, I picked up some YouTube peoples junk Mustang.

The plan is to do a cheap drag car built using junk yard parts.

At a local junk yard there is a 98 SN95 I will be pulling the front suspension and rear axle to move to a 5 lug and disk brakes for the rear.

Also at the junk yard (but not pictured) is a genIII LM7 that will be hooked up to a TH400 that I already have. I will be using this mostly because the ECU and engine wiring harness are missing, as they were pulled by the person who had the car between Roadkill and I.

Quick edit: Here is a link to the gallery of more random pictures of the car that I will add pictures to as I take them. http://imgur.com/a/1AdDi
