Link on this or something? It'd be great but I'm skeptical until I see some reporting. I also don't see the party of FAKE NEWS NO COLUSION giving a poo poo. Hope it's true though so there's a solid public case for packing the courts later.

Cuomo beat Nixon, but it looks like the IDC, which is basically a bunch of NY Senate 'Democrats' who caucus with the NY Republicans is getting annihilated. Noted socialist candidate Julia Salazar, who has faced more media scrutiny in the past two week that Trump endured in a year, also won her primary.

Not really? There are some vocal conspiracy theorists and other terrible posters, but a lot of those types wander in, shove foot in mouth, and catch a probation or derision.

A lot of the worst offenders have been culled by wandering out of the fairly safe TFR area to post insane poo poo elsewhere on the forums and caught a ban or got mad enough to stop posting.

Now that the politics thread is banished from TFR you’ll sometimes see absurd leaking of political angst into other threads such as dudes posting incredibly hosed up opinions about how SJWs and women and minorities are ruining their TV shows and turning kids into trans weaklings or something.

That said, pretty sure sky shark can’t really get away with his bullshit anywhere but TFR so now the forum bears that cross alone instead of him spreading his bullshit in GiP and D&D to lessen the burden on TFR.

Oh Republicans will absolutely not even bat an eye at "locker room talk" from so long ago for a righteous white upstanding man that has since learned his lesson and is being unfairly attacked anyway for something he didn't do. Still hopeful that there's lots more poo poo like that to fling at him and stick over him to make his name toxic to the general public and open up the possibility of packing the court.

At one point in the past he was posting some serious comedy gold. He went off on some tangent going CSI zoom enhance with grainy stills from some cell phone video where he purported Obama was assaulting women staffers by showing them his chubbed out hog under his slacks while he walked up the aisle of the bus/plane they were on. It was some of the funniest poo poo I ever saw on these forums.

Best part of that was using an intentionally blurred up image with a huge “Obama Exposed” censorship boner-covering text as evidence that he was showing off his dick to the press corp.

Never mind all the high def pictures the press corp took and released that showed no such thing.

Obama dick trutherism is peak sky shark. No dumb sophistry. No paragraphs of hyperlinked words and sentences to fringe corners of the internet.

Just taking a normal photo, then taking a blurred version with a fake censorship bar and swearing up and down its proof of Obama showing a massive hog to the press, who conspired together to cover it up.

I think that gas stations are controlled electronically, I don't know the specifics though, I just install the pipe, the actual gas company we are contracted by does all that. That being said, we test lines 4x their operating pressure for hours depending on the situation (ie. steel services are 4h above ground and 24h if tested after installed) so someone must have hosed up bad. There are also always mechanical valves so you can shut down mains manually if needed. This is in Ontario though

Gas distribution is broken up into a few different control systems. On the wholesale/distribution end, you have standard SCADA systems controlling pipeline substations/pumping stations to regulate pressure and and act as an emergency shutoff. These are typically connected via satellite or cellular through a MPLS VPN, DMVPN, or standard IPSec tunnel back to a centralized operations center.

The retail end is starting to move towards smart meters just like your electric meter. I'm not as familiar with this aspect, but if it's anything like the electricity AMI then it uses a mesh network at the neighborhood level to connect back to a local base station, which then connects back to the operations center over a normal commercial internet line.

IOT metering solutions do not have control over the line itself, they generally just report whatever the meter read is so that’s not something to worry about.

They aren’t all mesh networks either but it doesn’t really matter the exact topology (LoRaWAN would be hub/spoke, zigbee would be mesh, etc)

Video from dash cam of what happened when the cops pulled over that grandma and grandkid, because some rear end in a top hat mistook a black kid in a car with two white ladies for a robbery.

https://youtu.be/u2i6ng6K7dM

Looks like the cops did everything right here. Hopefully they charge the guy who gave a false report. Unfortunately I'd imagine most states laws probably have the word "knowingly" in the definition of filing a false report, so maybe that guy's defense would be "well I just thought I saw a something suspicious."

It does from a security perspective because several researchers have already demonstrated how they can use the mesh network topologies to take down entire neighborhoods connected to electrical AMIs by compromising a single meter. But if the meters can't control the actual gas service then the main threat is probably fraud.

I think it's always refreshing to hear how our friends across the pond are trying their hardest to beat Trump in the sport of terrible governance.

So, for those who haven't been following, the UK and EU have reached no Brexit deal so far, and there's basically no chance of one any time soon. In addition to losing the ability to drive in the EU without an international permit, it looks like home values in the UK will also decline by a third.

Just want to chime in and say that this is 100% the UK's fault. The EU governments for once took a firm stance, no access to the single market without freedom of movement. This pisses off all the racists in the UK (and a lot of racists in the EU, too) but the business class also really wants single market access. So they can't even agree on a negotiation position with the EU, Theresa May's blueprint can't get a majority in parliament. Never mind that it involves a lot of the cherry picking the EU ruled out before the negotiations even started. And the process for leaving the EU is structured in a way that the UK is automatically dumped out of the Union in March next year, unless all parties agree to postpone this. Which is also unacceptable to the racists in the EU, since that gives more time for dirty foreigners to come to/remain in glorious Britain.

So yeah, seems like we are headed for a hard Brexit.
