Comment Julike producing facilities (Score 2) 122

I worked at a place that was working plastics, they were making sheets of plastic, and they use water to cool down the plastic when it is "recycled" into pellets to return them into the system... they take rejected material, shred it, then melt it, send it through a spaghetti mold and chop it off at high speed to make pellets that are sent in water to be cooled quickly, then strained out and reused... you can bet your ass that some parts of plastic goes into the water system! even then, the dust from the shredded material goes in the air and will make its way outside...

Deere provides relays that will feed back to the internet connection.

and where would that internet connection would come from? most farmers i know have horrible, spotty cell phone coverage and non-existant internet... which ISP do you think would put up a couple hundred of miles of fiber to deserve 10 customers?

Yep. But when I see 1 hour of time billed at 200+ for a guy to come and replace the draft inducer or blower fan on my furnace, plus another couple hundred for parts that run at most 150, I infer that the dude is still making good money.

so you're telling us that 50$ is too much to find the part needed, order it, travel to you place and back, installation, invoicing, inventory management, gas, taxes, rent, truck payment, and more?

If you have done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to hide.

Also when the police kick down your door in the middle of the night and point guns in you and your girlfriends' face. That's just the good guys doing their job, and you need to be respectful of that.

And finally, you need to peacefully protest from home. If you go into the streets you'll be considered part of the terroristic rioters and the good guys will use any amount of force against you they deem necessary.

you must be hiding something if they need to kick down your door, you should be a nice citizen and leave it unlocked to make sure they can enter peacefully /sarcasm
