Just saying, all that was done, besides damaging the solar panel and cutting the connector to the camera -- at least based on the photo -- is damaging the pole.

The camera is still functional and salvageable. And was likely on the entire time.

There's an internal lithium-ion battery that the solar panel charges. It occupies a bit more than the bottom half of the camera body housing.

The camera maintains communication via a cellular modem.

Lithium doesn't like exposure to air. It's why they combust when punctured.

Do with this information what you will.

I've told a few stories about my Dad here. He was a 36 year Naval Officer, Naval Aviator (A-1, A-4, A-7) and a veteran of several jaunts to Vietnam. I remember once after some near-incident while driving, he said "Falcon 109."

I asked him what that meant and he said it's from the Vietnam era Falcon Codes and it meant "Lovely, simply f*cking lovely."

Years later I tracked down the complete list and will share them here. Enjoy!

"Here are the famous FALCON CODES use by Navy Aviator community during Vietnam. The Air Force used them too, so there are variations. They were on a kneeboard card carried by most Aviators. One would simply transmit “Falcon 101” (one of the more popular) to express your thoughts.

"Never ask a Naval Aviator if he is a fighter pilot. If he is, he’ll tell you. If not, you’ll just embarrass him."

This is spot on - Pres. Trump is not talking to the West, he's talking to the Eastern Despots in no uncertain terms. Certainly no the Democrats/EU complete wusses.

RE: Islamic Culture in the Middle East and Central Asia

I sense that too many Americans do not understand the public face-saving that is integral to Islamic culture in the Middle East and Central Asia.

I recall numerous times I dealt with government or military officials in the region where they let me know that what was being said publicly was in no way related to what was actually going on. A leader or politician in these countries will never, ever publicly say the truth if the truth suggests weakness or vulnerability. Never. It just does not happen. They will lie publicly with outrageous bombast, knowing full well that what they are saying is untrue, because their culture demands it.

Additionally, they respect the strongman. The strongman who speaks with ferocity and then backs it up with deeds is always respected (or feared, depending on the situation).

These are vital concepts to understand when analyzing the public pronouncements of the Iranian regime and the Truth Social declarations of President Trump. The Iranians must save face no matter what. Literally none of their public pronouncements can be trusted as being accurate or truthful. At the same time, when Trump posts things like “ending a civilization,” he is NOT TALKING TO YOU. He is talking to the mullahs in the only language they understand. In fact, as the Democrat/Media Complex derides Trump as an idiot for such pronouncements, HE is the one who is culturally attuned in a very profound way that totally flies over the heads of his critics.

These are vital concepts that must be understood to accurately interpret the very public exchange of declarations between Trump and the mullahs.

This is a grotesque violation of the 1st Amendment. It is in no way enforceable, thought it's going to take court time and money. It's egregious abuse of government power.

[Katie Miller @KatieMiller]

Today, @xAI sued Colorado to stop a new law (SB24-205) that would force Grok to promote the state’s ideological views on various matters, racial justice in particular.

Colorado wants to force Grok to follow its views on equity and race, instead of being maximally truth-seeking.

Grok answers to evidence, not woke leftist government regulations.

My daughter Annika is proudly autistic and 12 years old.

She drew this butterfly from a photo she took herself — every vein, every scale, rendered by hand on a tablet.

She signs everything she makes. Dates it. Like she already knows it matters.

She's turning 13 tomorrow. Please share this for her birthday. Let's make her day.

@ScottSpadea @staysaasy actually, just checked $300 each. Way more reasonable.

[System Lord @SystemLord9]

@ScottSpadea @staysaasy they sell the kits online now, but they are $1000/each. Covers all the major maladies. And they're human rated, not fish rated. They will prescribe online. The you talk to a doctor online and/or over the phone, and they prescribe the kits. All home members.

All Federal prosecutions must be held in some other jurisdiction than the DC area. I don't care what has to change to make that happen. The cases round robin between Federal circuit courts OUTSIDE of major urban areas. Using DC only is a travesty of the court system.

🧵DC JURY POOL THREAD: DC students can't read. But they can convict.

DC spends more per student than anywhere in America, $31,629/year.

Most kids can't read at grade level.

But DCPS found the time to make progressive activist training mandatory for every student, grades 6-12.

Those students become DC jurors. Full receipts below.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

@DataRepublican shouldn't there be an IQ or education minimum to be a jury? Or can any drooling idiot? And a HS diploma has to mean something. Those today don't mean anything. And the Africans' let in to the US by and large demonstrate an average IQ in the 60's. Not their best and brightest.

Hitting infrastructure like power, water, sewer, oil is NOT and NEVER has been a "war crime". The pundits have no clue what they are talking about it. They're proclaiming sedition at best. Or proving they're ignorant, or both.

@BrianRoemmele It's a nice tool, but not man-rated redundant for sure. And tether the controller to his wrist, I can't tell if it is tethered. If it works for the purpose, it's good enough. I'd like to know how noisy it is - might be good for stealth insertion?
