small hit, big heist

Each channel is on a different frequency band on the coax line for analog cable so the cable guy installed a notch filter for each channel he wanted blocked. Cable is digital now so that method no longer works.

The wind is so unpredictable

The Autumn Wind is a people
Struggling to be free
With a phone and car, they see quite far
And trackers all they see

Their bodies are well covered
And no one sees their faces
With lasers, saws, and power tools
Put fascists in their places

They go across the country
To knock down one by one
Care not to see just where they be
For this is not for fun

The Autumn Wind is a people
Who want to be alone
No one should know just where they go
Or what is on their phone

You can tell a pattern.

  1. They want to do something unconstitutional/illegal but want a reason to try to justify it.
  2. They do a false flag operation to cause a relevant problem or point to something tangential to the problem.
  3. They use Step 2 as the reason and do the thing in Step 1.
  4. Pretend Step 2 is a real problem and/or they didn't do it themselves until proven otherwise to anyone with a functioning brain.
  5. Refuse to undo Step 3 unless forced to by Congress or the courts.

These are Pushshift torrents from 2005 to 2025: https://sciop.net/datasets/reddit. There are two data sets, one by month and the other by subreddit. Each is about 3.5 TB compressed and based on the compression ratio I've seen, about 30 TB uncompressed. This is without any sort of media, just text.

Reddit sent AcademicTorrents a request to take them down so AI models couldn't use them as a way to avoid paying Reddit hundreds of millions of dollars for training data.
