Thanks for the update! I guess I shouldn’t have taken him at his screenshot

I didn’t mean it to dunk on Tesla, that dude rocked! I was just hoping to see the source of the claim. I went back to copy part of the page for this reply and apparently I missed the [4] so my comment was wrong. Here’s the relevant bit from that page which satiated my curiosity:

[…] he revealed that an earthquake which drew police and ambulances to the region of his laboratory

I didn’t think the bridge collapse was random, I was just commenting on the power of resonance. You can also shatter a glass with your voice if you can hold the frequency!

Damn, the two sources of the earthquake claim are print and I would have liked to read them. They don’t include a quote directly mentioning earthquakes in the wiki…

[EDIT] I was wrong, I missed a reference. See my reply below

At one point, while experimenting with the oscillator, he alleged it generated a resonance in several buildings, causing complaints to the police.

I believe that. Resonant frequencies have collapsed bridges

he was forced to use a sledgehammer to terminate the experiment, just as the police arrived

Sounds like a real big fish he caught there!

Mine don’t but they’re not regulated. I looked it up,

Some type of remote ID may be required in the future, but how the system would work and the requirements has not been finalized.

You fool. In this community, you’re supposed to title your posts “Protestation” and not include a description.

I think I will be building my next one…this one was $45 and the high tines are pretty quiet and hard to pluck. I’d like to go down a half octave, too

I kept thinking about this last night and wound up looking it up. Seems like a nuclear bomb could cause one…but only a minor one - smaller than the bomb itself.

Goes to show just how powerful an earthquake is if even our strongest explosives doesn’t come close!

Thanks, I read it before it got posted which is part of why I was kind of irked by OP. Instead of a link, they included a straw man.

It’s an interesting situation to me because I really don’t know where I stand on it. I’m pretty against government overreach but it’s proven time and time again that we live amongst morons who think they know best…

I guess the “political climate” lately has me on edge but I really do think I’ll see a civilian-flown drone accidentally cause an aviation catastrophe in my lifetime.

He’s been crushing it. I have been shocked that a wealthy governor seems to actually give a shit about his citizens

Could a really big off-center motor actually cause an earthquake? It’d definitely have to be bigger than the one in the comic but…is it even possible?

That IS a pretty good system…hmm…

Hmmm I’m not sure that would help. I think I’d still hit the same issue of getting around the bolts and also have to deal with the handle itself

I think so? I don’t fly commercially (I have a racing and “indoor” drone) so I’m not sure.

And yeah, it’s a felony. But a felony doesn’t undo the damage.

I’m not advocating either way, I see both sides of the argument as having good points

Thanks for the tip, I’ll check it out!

I had to think about it…these are the steps for the harder door:

Top right down to the top bolt, swoop counter-clockwise around it the edge.

All the way left to that same bolt, swoop again clockwise, down to the second bolt, swoop counter-clockwise around to the edge.

All the way left to the bottom bolt, another swoop, down to the bottom

For all of this, the squeegee must remain angled to fit between the gap where the doors overlap.

Proceed as normal (top to bottom) for the rest where there are no obstructions.

The other door is the inner door so no fancy moves are required. I can hold the squeegee normally.

That’s what I mean about it being a flashpoint. THIS mtx is on the low end of developer greed but the ridiculousness of it is still notable

Spyware was just an example? Proton is all about privacy and this board member is saying good things about a guy who doesn’t think us peasants should have any.

I agree that this isn’t the worst thing to ever happen. But I also agree with the people saying he shouldn’t have said anything.

Yep! That said, that drone flying into a plane over the wildfires is a pretty great example of why geofencing SHOULD exist. You don’t have to have malicious intent to cause destruction…I can see someone’s drone getting sucked into an engine while they’re trying to get an amazing shot of a plane taking off

All right then replace support of Spyware with “praise for The Spyware Company”
