Was just reading an article about these campaign emails, which we've seen from this thread (and our personal lives) that the emails are just a constant barrage of spam and bait and switch from all people. The article from WSJ displayed the fact that these emails really do work, and even if you seem like you're desperate for money in the emails -- people are still more then willing to support the cause.

Great read, see here - https://www.wsj.com/articles/your-inbox-is-overflowing-with-campaign-emailsand-its-not-going-to-stop-11562080763

One thing I've noticed is emails/snail mail from people running for some office far away, other side of the country, asking for money.

Those obviously aren't going to have to same effectiveness as people who are running in your district -- or running for office such as the President, where it doesn't really matter where they live.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if people from around the US donate to someone like Bernie in his next senate race. For this I'm talking about the 'celebrity politicans' who have clout in the entire country even if they're not running for President anymore.

Typically these people have run for President though and failed.

The guy that started these saturation mail/email across the country campaigns may have been Ron Paul.

a-now-designated-reckless driver hit reckless protestors?
Yes.  

Someone ran over and killed someone else in a reckless way.

Protesting in the middle of the highway is clearly reckless and dumb - but it's not like someone jumped in front of a car doing 70 on an open highway.

Not getting out of the way of a car coming at you has consequences?

Yes, it does.  You could get hurt or killed.  

I started to go back and look at a video which shows the protesters were screaming "Car! Car! at least 15 seconds before the guy was hit, then realized...

The real story here is how we seem to have video and audio of most every part, or many parts, of most public events such as these. That's a radical change, and of course going forward it will only get more and more exact and complete.

...to make sure she's not able to speak about the atrocities she saw.

Saw? She may have been the main plotter.

https://nypost.com/2020/07/11/ghislaine-maxwell-allegedly-filmed-politicians-with-underage-girls/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow&__twitter_impression=true

Ghislaine Maxwell once boasted she had video of two “high profile” US politicians, along with other powerful figures, having sex with underage girls, claims a former jewel thief who described the disgraced socialite as a nymphomaniac.

The reformed thief and author, who uses the pseudonym William Steel, said he long suspected Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell were abusing underage girls after meeting them in a jewelry store in Palm Beach as he tried to sell his stolen wares, he said in an interview with The Sun.
Steel, who claims he once swiped computer discs from the couple and sent them to authorities, did not reveal the identities of the people he says he saw in the videos. Steel admitting having sex with Maxwell, noting she would do “everything and anything in bed,” but said he never touched anyone underage, according to the tabloid.

“I was forced to watch their videos because they were trying to impress me,” said Steel. “They wanted to convince me of their power and who they held in their grip. I saw videos of very powerful people — celebrities, world figures — in those videos having sex, threesomes, even orgies with minors.”...

Epstein and Maxwell got in touch with him to buy stolen goods for the girls they were allegedly grooming as sex slaves said Steel, who stole millions of dollars in art and jewels in the US.

“It was mostly tennis bracelets, charm bracelets, women’s Piaget watches,” he said.

Steel said while Maxwell was very loyal to Epstein, she also knew he would prove her undoing.

“She said to me that she often thought she needed to do something about Epstein, telling me, ‘He is going to be the death of me,'” he said, adding she had an escape plan she called the “Polanski plan” after filmmaker Roman Polanski, who fled the United States for France after raping a 13-year-old girl in 1977.

“She told me about her Polanski plan where she would flee to France because they couldn’t extradite her,” Steel said.

I still tend to think that Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself, but was simply murdered and faked as he knew too much and the information he could share with the investigation posed a great threat to some important people who visited his island. Of course it would be interesting to read the testimony of Ghislaine Maxwell...

If the road was closed I really don't think they were allowed to be there. Being the victim does make you right in this situation. If the road was closed for whatever reason, you can bet it was not allowed for anyone to go there for liability reasons.

It was closed for the protest, not for maintenance or some other reason.

Ah, I see. So they prearranged to have a protest on the highway and had a permit? Oh no, more like these idiots blocked off a highway as the police desperately attempted to save them from their own stupidity in an emergency. Just because they tried to stop these retards from killing themselves doesn't make their actions, safe, reasonable, or legal.

The police had a choice to clear the highway or to close it. They chose to close it. After the accident they're taking a different approach and removing protestors. I agree that the latter makes more sense but that still doesn't change the fact that they did indeed close it that day. Driving through or around a police blockade is reckless, whether it's a freeway closed for protesters or a suburban cul-de-sac closed for trick-or-treating.
So the protesters were reckless, and the police closed it, and then a-now-designated-reckless driver hit reckless protestors? Where did those Darwin Awards go to?
989  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Yes, the Keepkey is a worthless black bricklet on: July 11, 2020, 02:53:46 PM
I have one of those, but until now didn't install it. I was worried about the KYC-thing when I bought it, but from a quick search it looked like it can still be used without KYC.
So quick question: can it or can it not be used without KYC? If it can't, there's literally no use left for the thing. Cold storage is supposed to be private.

It can be used without KYC if it's used with Electrum or the KeepKey Chrome extension, which is still available in the app store.  It's not so much that the hardware wallet itself requires KYC for any reason, but rather ShapeShift.com does.  ShapeShift purchased or merged with KeepKey a little over a year ago, and they are marketing the service and the wallet as a package deal.

When a WALLET requires KYC, it is no longer a wallet. No ducking or dodging by talking about mergers please.

You can't get more superseding than putting an illegal road block on a highway and LARPING soy ninjas on the highway at night. That fucking idiot ended THEIR OWN LIFE, and people like you want to run this man's life so you don't have to admit they are fucking idiots. Idiots which you support in their dangerous and illegal activities.

If the road was closed it was not illegal to have cars parked on it. And I have already provided the timeline from WSP that clearly shows the road was indeed closed.

I don't want to ruin anyone's life. One person is dead, we can't undo it. But if the driver can prove that the road was not closed and it was ok to drive on it at speed - that's fine with me. However there are no publicly known facts showing that and you're not providing any proof of that. Just repeating "illegal" doesn't make it so.

If one person can Announce that This Road is Closed then another can Announce that This Road is Open.

Oh, wait... Neither of them can do that? Then it's a question of who put themself in harm's way.

We only know the basics of what happened:

He drove onto a closed highway swerved around a bunch of parked cars, ran two people over and the fled the scene.  One of them died.

Why are you guys going all Johnny Cochran over this?  "He was simply driving down the road, exactly nothing else" give me a break.

Obviously there could be more to this story but it def looks like he checks enough boxes:



Quote
Vehicular homicide—Penalty.
(1) When the death of any person ensues within three years as a proximate result of injury proximately caused by the driving of any vehicle by any person, the driver is guilty of vehicular homicide if the driver was operating a motor vehicle:
(a) While under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug, as defined by RCW 46.61.502; or
(b) In a reckless manner; or
(c) With disregard for the safety of others."


Still, there are many, MANY cases where a jaywalker is hit by a car. Jaywalking is illegal, also, that's effectively what the morons were doing on the freeway. In a fair number of these cases it's determined the driver was not at fault. If the morons on the freeway had had on fluorescent orange safety vests, that's one thing. If they had black clothes on and were hard to see, that's another.

Both parties were doing illegal, unsafe things.

This is an awesome thread started by someone who doesn't have a clue how the real world works. Never mind the fact that guns without the tech would just get imported from other countries, or a whole new industry started to disable any sort of tech added to the guns, but there's also the fact that you can already 3D print guns. All laws etc do is make it harder etc for honest people to own/use guns.

You know how you stop the majority of crime? Get everyone working and making a good living so they don't feel the need to go out and commit crimes.
It's also possible to modify some laws so that a fair percentage of crime ceases to exist. Laws against lightweight drugs and prostitution are examples. Then you need police and enforcement agencies that work with proven, established techniques, no pie in the sky utopian or progressive ideas.

I guess that means you don't defund the police.

In the real world, which you guys are not in because you are chasing wrongness in different_thinkers_than_right_thinkers_like_us, going the wrong way on a road is simple a traffic ticket. It's breaking the law. No more or less.

But you guys are reading capital murder into an exit ramp issue.

Good luck with that.

Vehicular homicide ...


Or manslaughter.

Okay, if I was on that jury I'd be strongly inclined to let the guy off, but you don't have to worry about that. He'll no doubt plea bargain for a couple of years and this particular ugly incident will be taken off the radars.

Need to clear up some media time and space for the election propaganda, right?

spendulus either really enjoys arguing in bad faith for entertainment or he is dumb as a rock.

This actually all makes me laugh.

There is no excuse for going the wrong way on the exit ramp. If he didn't think the road was closed he was risking a head on collision at freeway speed on the ramp itself or upon merging / crossing the traffic lanes. But since he ended up pointing in the correct direction on the freeway then likely he knew the road was closed and got on it anyway.
