Fuck you, Pig!

I’m partial to Highway Song, as far as Steal This Album goes.

You know, I’ve had a similar thought to what you’ve offered here. It’s always been a tongue in cheek observation, but because cars are so safe, people literally take their safety for granted driving them. If cars were less safe, people might take the responsibility of driving more seriously.

Make it so, if you get in an accident, it chops a foot off. So not life ending, but certainly life altering. People drive knowing “I’ll be fine,” and then they look at a text, daydream, all that. If you knew, every time you got in the car, you risked losing a foot, you’d take that shit seriously.

I have little to no background in IT or CS, but I always wanted to set up networks with those Ubiquiti antennas that can broadcast out a few kilometers. I got a buddy who just happens to be a few kilometers away. We could set up our own private, albeit incredibly limited, internet. Outside of that, if you’re using a utility or a service, you can’t expect your info to be locked up right. And so you need to keep certain shit offline, or use a HAM radio, or some other kind of private network for broadcasting, which is not feasible. But it would be neat.

Could always have a really long string with cans on either end. Can’t tap that phone.
