Patsys. Scapegoats. Tools.

I’d aim for Annares as a model. From 'The Dispossessed". Syndicalism/Anarchism.

An Insteon integration with a hub and a bit more than a dozen switches, water sensors, etc.

Maybe 4 or so z-wave devices connected via a USB dongle on the Pi.

The Alexa integration for the direct Wi-Fi bulbs. Maybe 6-ish. Also for wife-acceptance.

So- small and unorganized. I really want to wipe and start fresh to be more organized. I also want to learn how to do cross-integration triggers and actions.

3b+ here. I’d like to upgrade to a 4 or 5 but haven’t had any pressing reason to do it.

I don’t mind the name, but it seems awful expensive.

A patron god creates a new body ex nihilo to enable the execution of an important mission. Maybe the death was part of a bigger plan?

My mom is over 80. Little old suburban white lady. She already volunteered - “Just get me close.” She’d be super-thrilled to have her shot with a suicide vest.

If SS payments stop, there will be hundreds of thousands of people with nothing left to lose.

Dark-sky site?

Is this the bragging part of the thread? 1970s here. Before there was any “advanced”. And I improvise and railroad as the situation and table warrants. Rule zero is have fun.

Cash.

This is a major plot point of The Dispossessed by Le Guinn.

45 years for me. Greyhawk and Blackmoor supplements were new. OD&D before there was an O. Yes, I’m over 60.

My best friend’s daughter irl decided to charm the bugbear guard. I made puppy dog eyes at her while her parents giggled their asses off. She was thirteen at the time.

My concerns:

How do I know that someone with access to the list of members won’t get bribed or blackmailed into sending it to the cops?

How do I know that this isn’t just a front for cops?

A strike needs simple demands that can be met in short order. If they can’t meet the demand, you can’t end the strike. Demanding “Climate Action” is a non-starter.

Being composed of a large number of separate organizations makes a unified voice all but impossible. The message must be simple and consistent.

IMO, first step is enumerate the new order. A clear and concise foundational document of some kind. A new constitution? A set of amendments? A new Bill of Rights? Get to the core, don’t just list grievances.

I’d add NY to that shortlist. Port of Elizabeth is technically NJ but they aren’t fooling anyone.

Co-pays are typically $20.

I’m too old to be out in the streets anymore. But I’ve considered participating in a kind of underground railroad for immigrants, out-of-state women needing abortions, protesters, and other victims of this situation. A grassroots kind of network. I own a house and have a spare bedroom and a pull out bed in the basement. Even one life saved matters.

…drilled over 4,000ft into the earth’s mantle…

No, they didn’t.
