    You very likely were more watched, and understood, than you think. Each of those balls was probably checked, and it was likely that there were strict penalties for inmates who grabbed one, assuming any inmates would be able to. There was probably a disposal point for them as to keep employees from bringing outside contraband in. This is very different to walking up to the prison wall, and throwing some random object over it, especially doing it multiple times, showing you are trying to get it over the walls. There are thousands of videos online of guys standing on the closes public road to prisons, and jails, and they get attention in minutes, when they are just taking pictures, and some video.

    Even for facilities in densely populated areas, like downtowns in metro areas, similar to the one I used to work in, who have to be a lot more tolerant of people on their grounds, and at the periphery, if someone went into some place uncommon, or was acting strangely, there would be guards there in minutes to question them, and drive them away. The people on the walking/biking path right next to the building, who would often linger around, lean on the fence, etc., rarely caused a reaction though.






  • Yeah, I have a friend who was in the CBGB scene from the late 70s, though the 80s. She has pictures of when Madonna was hanging out there, before she was famous, but as she was getting notoriety for her voice, drumming, and sex charged performances, which were a lot more punk at the time. She has pictures of her participating in anti-authority events from the time, and shit.

    Now though? A whack job, deeply into cultism, and way disconnected from the girl sleeping on the floor, and hanging out with the hardcore punk, and goth, bands at CBGB and Mudd Club.




  • Correct, but these are also built to be turned off as soon as their growing renewable grid can handle peak power in the most densely populated regions. They specifically use coal because that is abundant to China, and within it’s plan for independence as well, and grants them a lot of security again foreign influences.

    They are trying really hard to bring fission power into this, but their Houlong and Linlong plants are just to cumbersome to build quickly, and they are working on a network of smaller fast neutron, and thorium reactors, which they can sustain easily without foreign supply chains.
