I'm worried about the next Rittenhouse. Stay safe out there and watch out for the "good guy with a gun"
I love when someone brings up Rittenhouse because I dated someone who went to high school with him, so I know quite a bit about him.
Turns out all of the signs were there and his mom encouraged that type of stuff :)
Where can a civilian get a good bulletproof vest?
They sell plate carriers at my local gun store.
Lol all over

I’m sick of worrying about being killed over my freedom of speech in this so called free country and I think I’d rather die by calling out some fascist than cancer or living under tyranny anyways.
None of you are immortal so figure it the fuck out.

There have also been an uptick in incidents of arson, vandalism, and violence against Tesla showrooms that, while unrelated to the protests, have led to Musk and President Donald Trump labeling them “domestic terrorism."
It's perfectly reasonable to think that at least some of these could be false flag opperations orchestrated by the Trump administration to give them cover to arrest innocent people and eventually declare martial law. The more that possibility is part of the mainstream conversation, the more wind it takes out of their sails towards accomplishing those goals.
I wish the stock price would just collapse already along with organic consumer demand for the cars themselves evaporating into nothing so it could whither and die a natural death.
As much as I hate Musk, I'm not a fan of seeing property damaged. Not because I love the property, but because it's too easy to leverage it as terrorism by a regime that has a hard-on for labeling anything it doesn't like as such. Consumer collapse and bankruptcy would be beautiful to behold.
I don't like damage to property cause I'm scared of my tyrannical government
lol ok, bet doing nothing will work. Maybe try appeasement?
Pretty sure property damage is one of the options to attack a tyrannical government. Assassinations too. At least its options people have used, not sure exactly how effective it was but the nazis lost in the end.

Imagine invoking Martian law (pun intended, because of the Alien act) due to someone bullying a billionaire by burning their cars.

There are lots of Tesla protests going on every weekend. See https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/teslatakedown to find one near you.
Also see https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/ for even more (not necessarily Tesla specific) protests going on all over the place all the time.
Participate in what you can.
According to our Government this is WORSE then Shooting up an Elementary School!
I'm curious if anyone knows if cars, especially electric cars, are vulnerable to EMPs?
Disclaimer - not an electromagnetic scientist wizard
My understanding is that EMPs are more of a concern for the tiny electronics on computers versus relatively large motors or batteries. So, an electric vehicle is still at risk, but I don’t think it’d be any more at risk than any ICE car that’s all computerized anyways.
“Everything’s computer”
With all the touch screens and computer controlled door handles I wouldn‘t bet on a Tesla in this showdown.
Nuke type EMPs are a threat to very long wires, like miles long ones used to transmit power. The blast causes a ripple in the earths magnetic field that induces current over huge distances. But I don't know what a more handheld device would affect.

All cars with computers are vulnerable
So like 95-99% of cars registered in a developed economy.
Sounds about right, yeah.

Build one and report back. 🤷
Hmmm. Well, I do love taking apart old microwaves...
In all seriousness microwaves are the #1 leading cause of death for hobby electronics people, be careful around them and know what you're doing before you open it.
I didn't realize they were the #1 killer. Most of them via electrocution of the HV capacitor, I would imagine?
15ish years ago I got lucky and didn't kill myself on the first one I ever cracked open. I managed to become marginally more intelligent and after poking around in it decided it'd be smart to research the art of microwave dismantling, which led to a minor anxiety attack and cold sweats when I realized how stupid I had been.
Same with old televisions and that flyback transformer. 😬
Hahaha, funny you mention that. I was this close to trying to open an old CRT set many years ago when that little voice in my head said, hey, maybe look up what happens when you do that. I decided I didn't need to go through with it.
That being said, DLP sets are my absolute favorite to dig into. So many awesome optical components, mirrors, and cooling fans inside. I didn't find anything that seemed too dangerous, either.
Yep. That HV capacitor will turn you into orbital bacon with a quickness, and it keeps a charge for way longer than you'd ever think was realistic. In the same vein as "assume every gun is loaded", also assume every capacitor is charged.

It's quite dangerous, the magnetron can kill very easily. There's this youtuber called styropyro who's done some really cool stuff with them though
He's a treasure. The inside of a microwave is insane in its casual dangers. Like that HV capacitor, or, more insidiously, the beryllium insulator that can cause berrylliosis if broken and inhaled.
Sounds like you don't even have to do anything to make it dangerous. Heck, let's just chuck broken microwaves at the Teslas.
For cars, you're gonna need something a bit bigger. Large coil, capacitor bank to generate a static field and some high explosives to disrupt that field to give the pulse. It fries the wires in a car. Single use only.

I love this. I love this so much.
The potential side effects of ketamine include dissociative experiences that may lead to confusion or impaired motor coordination, cognitive disturbances, and, with repeated misuse, the risk of developing a substance use disorder.
Also, one that we surely don't talk about much, being hated by the general population. That might be correlation instead of causation though.

Already planning on it 😎
If I was insuring Tesla or their showrooms in any way, I would see to get rid of this contract as fast as possible.
Come on guys get Tesla stocks to 0!
I wonder if we will finally get a visible notion of the inaction in protests in the US compared to the rest of the world.
I bet non-US protests will average at 2000 people per, but protests in the US will total 2000 people.
...and of course the local police will protect the fucking Nazi owned dealerships.
