People really don't realize how utterly dependent modern surveillance is on the idea that everybody is carrying a phone — which is always tracked. Their car has a cellular modem in it — which is always tracked. 99% of investigation is one guy and a search box. If you're not low-hanging fruit, you aren't gonna merit the Eye of Sauron of manual, well-resourced, focused team attention—and if you did, you probably planned ahead for it, right? Because it's not a mystery what would get you on Santa's Naughty List.

Anyway, the point is that even in a big city, the phoneless guy in a "covid" mask is going to be invisible to anything less than that exhaustive manual investigation — at least for a few more years. That may go away once they start networking all the cameras and having AI start trying to match up clothing sets moving from camera to camera, butthat capability is hard to hide, so it'll be in the news. And it won't work that well in places with less camera density and, perhaps, for people who wear the most-common outfits (the visual equivalent of a "shared fingerprint").

Remember: Phones are useful, but dangerous. And the people who will still wear covid masks to the beach are helping to normalize facial obscurity—regardless of their intention. Don't be mean to them. Encourage them to wear them everywhere. For passport photos. In police booking photos. At the customs desk. Family portraits! The sky is the limit—let them push the boundaries so that you don't have to.

Fool them by leaving home with YouTube on autoplay at home. Create rabbit trails. Be unpredictable. Learn to hunt deer, then learn how deer can turn badasses into hungry fools. You said it earlier - just knowing how you're being imaged can help either maintain it or work outside it.

LFG.

Wow. Nothing has changed this quarter-century.

bull run hasn't started until NPR runs a radio story.

For sale for 30k sats. Handmade by me, sourced from my sister who’s a farrier. These were worn by happy horses in southern Maryland and Virginia.

$300 dollars of SCUBA gear and some skills could turn into $10,000 if it's not too heavy to swim up with.

So yeah, could be good, could be deadly. lol

How are miners doing nowadays?
