  • The last GM vehicle I had, it was possible to entirely remove the OnStar module without affecting the operation of the truck. I also knew someone else that found out that if something tears the little shark-fin antenna off the roof, it won't work either.

  • I used to have to poke around in manholes. Not all of them have the name of the city on them, and not all of them go to a sewer. Some of them have cables in them.

    The one pictured does look like a municipal manhole cover instead of one belonging to AT&T or another communications company, just because of the design on it.

  • I think food riots are just a few years off, really. Maybe when enough stock is stolen and enough stores trashed they will learn, but I expect they will try to be heavy handed, sending in the local WalMart Defense Team (a.k.a. the police force closest to a given walmart) to handle it, but there are definitely going to be problems with that considering some people go to walmart armed.

  • I'm a dirty slut for iced tea, but not the cloyingly sweet stuff that you'll find in restaraunts. And you're right it's much cheaper. A box of 22 gallon-sized tea bags is like $5.

    There is a great XKCD that shows comparisons for the amount of sugar in a soda, and it's wild. A 20 oz coca-cola has as much sugar as three cadbury creme eggs.

  • This. I have a DJI mini 2, and while that isn't a combat drone used by anyone's military, it's pretty much impossible for me to see it at it's "maximum" altitude of 122 meters and at that height I can get pretty good real-time video. I'm pretty sure it will exceed that altitude limit if I wanted it to, and there's no way I could see it or hear it at 200 meters. And it would still get me useful video.

    I have to assume that the drones being used by the UA are better than my silly little camera drone.

  • Just fill some mason jars with some sort of powder (maybe plaster?) put a picture of a rhino on it and sell each one for $500.

    Edit: Maybe small vials full of ground-up fingernail would be more "realistic"?
