This prepping topic is on security. Being able to keep an eye on your surroundings is a great way to assist in the security of your area. Not only can you quickly determine if a threat to your physical security is approaching, you need to be able to scout in advance of any movement that you are making, look at areas that may be hazardous (like flooded areas) and other things you may want to see at a distance.
One of the keys to security is not letting opponents surprise you. A person who is prepared needs to be familiar with the area where they live, and be able to monitor that area for the appearance of those who would endanger their safety. You never want an opponent to surprise you. Watching events, it is becoming obvious that a drone is a huge multiplier by allowing you to keep an eye on large areas of the territory surrounding your shelter, so I decided to get one.
The drone I selected is a DJI Mini 4k. There are more capable drones out there, but the large advantage with this drone is that , at less than 249g, the drone is light enough that it doesn’t need to be registered with the government in order to be legal, and we all know that I am not registering shit. I got it as a Prime day deal for less than $400. That deal included the drone, three batteries, and the charger.
It was easy to fly, and I took it up for its first flight after watching the below video. I am posting it here, cued up to some elevated footage, so you can see how clear the video is.
The only thing different with mine is that I have it set for Imperial instead of metric units, and the lower left corner is a Google maps kind of display that shows you where the drone is on a map. I have found the drone to be intuitive and easy to fly. I have been taking it easy because I don’t want to lose it, but on the two days I have flown it, it has gone as high as 250 feet and flown as far away as 1,000 yards. The drone reaches a top speed of 20 mph, and the battery gives about 30 minutes of flight time. Following the rule of thirds (one third to go out, one third to return, and a third for contingency) that means the drone has the endurance to go out about 3 miles. I’m not yet comfortable flying it that far.
It’s capable of operating in winds of up to 15 miles per hour, but I won’t fly it in winds that high.
I recommend that you find your own drone to keep an eye on the area.

If some muzzie asshole killed my kid in a rocket attack, my response would be remembered for generations. There is no fucking way I would try to respond by talking them to death. As far as I am concerned, Israel is being restrained by not nuking the country that is behind all of these attacks. Iran is going to find out, if they keep it up.
I previously recommended the use of a controller for your water heater as a way of controlling power consumption. Now that I have the solar up and running, the Tesla app is a great way to monitor and check up on your electrical loads.
Now that I have the ability to do this, I am convinced that the Aquanta water heater controller doesn’t actually DO anything. Whether I am home or not, using hot water or not, the amount of electrical power that the Aquanta is claiming I am using to heat water doesn’t change, at about 15kwh per day. The only time the amount of power the Aquanta was claiming went down is when we put the system in “Away” mode- telling it to turn off the hot water while we were out of town. At that point, the Aquanta reported that we were using about 1 kwh per day. The only problem? The amount of power we were using for the entire household didn’t change, according to the Tesla app.
At this point, I began suspecting that the Aquanta is a random number generator. It reports to you how much money it is saving you, but isn’t actually doing anything. I decided to test it and see what was going on. I am going to make a serious accusation here, so let me state that I did all voltage readings using a FLUKE 115 True RMS multimeter.
I measured the voltage across the output of the Aquanta while it was in “efficient” mode with a green LED showing and got a reading of 249 VAC. The water heater uses power consumed of 4500 watts (4.5kw), so a little application of Ohm’s law results in 18 amps and 14 Ohms of resistance. We can directly use Ohm’s law because the water heater has no capacitance or inductance, it is a purely resistive load.
Then I put it into “Away” mode. The LED on the unit turned red, so I measured the output voltage and got 70 VAC. Another application of Ohm’s law using the same 14 Ohms we calculated before tells us that the water heater is now using 5 amps and 50 watts of power. Take that 50 watts of power and multiply it by 24 hours in a day, and you get about 1 kWH per day.
So it doesn’t shut off the water heater, it merely lowers the voltage from line voltage down to about 70 VAC. I am not sure when or how it does this, other than in vacation mode, but I don’t think I am saving any power.
I just don’t think that this is a good unit to use if you want to save power, so I am withdrawing my recommendation of the Aquanta unit. My recommendation is to either use an electro-mechanical water heater timer, or a smart pool pump relay.
This is the officer that the left wants leading the charge to disarm Americans. This fatass is a female Lieutenant in the 29th Infantry, I believe. The only place she is leading anyone is into the chow line.
President Biden is set to announce major Supreme Court reforms on Monday, likely including term limits and an enforceable ethics code. He’s also expected to advocate for a constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity.
Let’s parse this. Term limits are unconstitutional. Read Art. III, Sec. 1:
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.
Term limits would require a Constitutional Amendment, not an executive order. Biden can’t legally do shit about term limits.
An ethics code: Biden can’t do that by executive order, either. At the least, it would require an act of Congress, and even then, the court is likely to rule that such an act would be unconstitutional.
Which brings us to the final point- limiting officeholder immunity through Constitutional amendment.
Passing an Amendment is extremely difficult, and it’s meant to be. There is no way that they are going to get the two thirds vote of both houses of Congress, nor are they likely to get the approval of 38 state legislatures. I just don’t see this happening without the left finally admitting that they use COTUS as toilet paper.
They are simply pissed because the court is not ruling in their favor. They will stop at nothing to destroy Trump, and once they do, you are next.
I know that I have posted before about Biden having a double. I pointed out that the Biden of today had different earlobes than the Biden of the past, and many of you blew it off, saying that it was because he had had a facelift. So let’s look at another subtle hint.
Here is Biden during last night’s address:
Now look at the Biden that was sworn in as President in 2021:
Here is Biden from June of 2021:
Here he is from his days as Vice President:
In each of these photos, compare the length of the index and ring fingers. The relationship between them, called the 2D:4D digit ratio, is determined by the testosterone and estrogen levels that are present during puberty. Some studies even show that the ratio is tied to performance on standardized tests like IQ tests and SAT tests.
In any case, it looks like the 2D:4D ratio on Biden’s hand is not constant. Even though there are not a lot of pictures of Biden’s hand that clearly show his fingers, the ratio does appear to vary somewhat when you look at some of them as opposed to others.
