Actually, I think it's a Suburban. A sedan delivery shouldn't have any windows in the back.
I've always wanted one of those.

No, I got your weak attempt at a dig at me. Typing "all that"? It was less than 2 lines of text. You still don't know me very well, do you?

Talked to a good friend in the UK today. During the call he asked if we're being told to install "the app" on our phones. I said "what app?" He explained it's an app to allow the UK government to track their every move, and they must have the Bluetooth on so the government can then track anybody they are near in case they test positive for CV-19. Yeah, no potential for abuse there. He sees no problems with that. I told him that will never happen here, although some here would probably do it. While we have sheeple here they don't compare to the sheeple in Europe who don't really know what freedom is.

It’s coming. I fully expect some Dimocrat legislator to introduce a bill to require contact tracing software be required. Will probably try to force the carriers to do a forced download to your phone.

They don't need a forced download, the carriers can, and already do, track where you phone is at all times.

This is the main reason why I don't carry my cell phone with me 24/7, and don't intend to ever start. I only take it with me if I might need it for business, or are doing something where my wife might want to get a hold of me. The rest of the time, it sits on my kitchen counter. Over the years, I have told people who "can't be without their phone" this, and they always look incredulously at me and ask "why"? I always say I don't like having my every move tracked by big corporate America, and indirectly, the government. They have always looked at me like "can you BE any more paranoid?" Then the news stories came out about the government measuring the effectiveness of the lockdown by the tracking data on all our phones. I've had a few interesting discussions the last month or so to be sure!

The solution for the government side is then to REQUIRE all citizens to have a registered cell phone on their person at all times when they are out in public. I fear that they will try such a thing, and that the sheeple will accept it. Until then, I'll carry my phone when I want, and **** big government.

I never turn Bluetooth on. I've never paired my phone with the Vette because I don't talk on the phone while driving. Without Bluetooth they might be able to track where you are, but trying to track every person you come close to would be a whole lot more difficult.

Because of my test this Friday I had a CV-19 test today. The bottom of my brain still hurts cuz I swear they hit it with the swab.

My cell phone sits on my desk. The only reason I have one is that it was required while I was working. Only use now is when a forum member or friend decides to call.

Not sure what dog chit feels like, but if it’s a pile of worthless flesh laying on a couch, that’s how I feel.


Being as I was a lazy warrior today, watched “They Come to America: The politics of Immigration” On Amazon. Hmmm

Lightbulbs in house are Zigby and meshed nicely.

One Outlet is Z-Wave and the radio in the Hubitiat is weaker than Wink which has caused me to get a Repeater. Only ~35-40 ft. but Hubitiat is hit miss.

Son has his hub fully integrated w Alexa etc....

F'ng Wink

I hope you're just tired out, and not testing positive with all the crap around Nic.

Hey kids, went out shopping this morning, one hour of seniors only shopping in all the stores in the morning. I think there was 6 people in the whole store.....

Way cooler than normal up in these parts but it sure beats snow and freezing temps. It DID snow last Saturday. The old man said it's never snowed on his birthday and that's 97 years!

Catch y'all on the flip side Daddy O's. Keep shaken those thangs...

RIP Little Richard.

At least when they shove something up a different orifice on Friday you will at least be benefiting from some good drugs

Which GDO controller do you have? Mine is a homebrew unit that I hacked up from a spare remote transmitter and a couple of magnetic contact switches.

They already have introduced it as a bill.

I'll get a burner phone..or a Jitterbug. Good luck tracking me with that.

I'm not taking a test
I'm not getting a vaccine
I'm not agreeing to be tracked by "virus police"

WTF happened to our Constitution?

It's going to be like Prohibition. The modern speakeasy will be a "no mask required" bar in a basement behind a door with a slot where you say a password to enter.
