I JUST INFORMED MY CLIENTS IN TORONTO THAT I WILL NOT SUPPLY MY SERVICES TO SITES THAT ARE USING GENERIC "WALKIE TALKIE" DEVICES...

...all communication equipment on projects will be of standard MOTOROLA brands under proprietary usage to the corporate lessee.

As suspected I received a call from top level management, only one call..."WHAT'S GOING ON BOSS?"

I told him that after this "Israeli stunt who can guarantee that more of the supply chain isn't compromised"? He went momentarily blank and responded with "I never thought of that"...further, I told him that it is "quite possible that I'm over reacting and although it's (remotely) possible and highly improbable the possibility still exists and for that reason it becomes a game of Russian Roulette, a game of chance that I'm not going to play". I then mentioned to him that the phony OSHA Act/Regs cannot emphasize enough the importance of excercising "due diligence" and being "pro active" rather than "reactive". In concluding I told him that "the law has no mercy and when shit goes down it gets very ugly I know I've been there" and these people know that I've been ,it cost me a million bucks to prove my innocence.

I know that I'm respected for my qualifications and knowledge in this game and yes, there's that minute faction of "lunchpail regulars" (who's opinions are worthless and purely emotional) that considers me a fucking asshole but their opinions mean nothing, it's those who are putting up front the billion dollars and absorbing all liabilities and responsibilities who's opinion matters.

In my field developers rely on, pay for and are owed accurate professional direction, not advice, there is a difference.

Advice is mouthed by simpleton politician, better advice comes from a shoeshine boy...professional direction comes from an experienced engineer.

I want to see how this filters through the industry beginning next week.

AND THIS IS MY PART IN THE BATTLE AGAINST THE ✡️. HEY, WHO KNOWS, NEXT WEEK I MAY GET NOTICE THAT I AM NOW PERSONA NON GRATA...BUT I DON'T CARE.

It amazes me how many people don't understand the importance of this.

[ - ] bosunmoon 6 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2024 19:39:21 ago (+6/-0)

It's important to have standards, and more important to stand by them.

I'm just adhering to the rules of the game that I'm legally bound to...

Fuckin' White guy and his...

...comprehension of rules and responsibilities!

And if need be, remind anyone that if Israel can do it remotely, then some hacker can figure out what they did and set off your device.

I've been using Cobra brand myself, they're pretty well known. But I suspect all the brand name ones will be increasing in price.

Warning: Just because it's a name brand doesn't mean it can't be intercepted and have its innards tampered with.

There is a reason why the bastards are so insistent on soldering the batteries to the devices so they can't be removed. If I were to buy a walkie talkie, it must use AA-batteries.

Reminds me of my time managing a small midget wrestling troupe of embittered drunks in Lowell, Massachussetts. I had this one saucemonkey named Tippy Toes Daugherty and that ornery little bastard would always be warning people preemptively what he would do to them if they ever fucked with him. Completely unnecessary. 90% of his persecutory ideation was unfounded. Anyway, one night he’s in the bar throwing them back and he tries to pop shit to Dicky Ecklund. I had Microman Mongo, The Shinclimber and Pint-Sized Perry go over and cool it off, but for a minute Dicky was about to kick all of their asses.

Hahaha. Good thinkin. Is this a government project? Just say “safety” 300 times, they won’t can you.

@PostWallHelena...the only economic activity today is in the public sector with government projects, and there's a shitload of projects...BUT...it's not economic expansion.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 2 points 7 monthsSep 21, 2024 07:36:19 ago (+2/-0)

it's not economic expansion.

Yeah no shit, the economy is pure judaica at this point.

They did similar with all the Cisco switches and router's back in the day, intercepted and installed backdoor chips.

I like the cut of your jib.

OK—THANKS FOR THE UPDATE CANA-BRO

It's a legit concern. And whatever you buy cannot be from Amazon until they prove inventory isn't comingled with random 3rd party sellers

Gotta protect your boys.

It would be something if major corporations had troubles relating to the pager explosions and lost a bunch of money.
Too bad no one would ever be allowed to sue the Israeli government. If some dis win a lawsuit, somehow us American taxpayers would pay their damages.

This is why everything is own either must be in retail packaging, or come with it.

Tools are a must, same with firearms. Someone steals a gun, chances are they won't grab the paperwork and box.

Many Motorola products are mfg in israel. In my case, every moto hand held or mobile radio product I have checked in the last few years says "Made in Israel".

[ - ] Zyklonbeekeeper [op] 0 points 7 monthsSep 21, 2024 15:49:52 ago (+0/-0)

@yourfootgotwet...I did not know that Motorola is a kike product...many of the communications systems used on construction sites are the same as what law enforcement are using and are "leased" under contract with a proprietary chip specific to the lessee and many of these devices are old stock, these units haven't changed in 40years, they're a hand held unit with a chord coil extension that clips to upper body wear...the unit assigned to me has been with me for 2years now and is a decade old...amateur companies use those generic Walmart walkie talkies.

Who cares if people die. That’s what we’re here to do. We’re here to die. We’re here to suffer. That’s what’s life’s all about.

[ - ] Drstrangestgov 1 point 7 monthsSep 21, 2024 09:31:34 ago (+1/-0)

Would you shut up if I gave you a dick pic?

[ - ] GreenSaint 0 points 7 monthsSep 22, 2024 06:54:07 ago (+0/-0)

Couldn’t hurt to try. You ever see somebody and there’s a look to them and you just hate them immediately? I don’t mean like a racial thing I mean something else. There’s this guy I want to bash his head in. Everytime I look at his nigger lizard face his disgusting fat fucking retard genetics. I want to smash him in the face with a bat or something. Visceral hatred for this animal. So gross. So disgusting and pathetic. I feel like he could scream in pain and terror and I wouldn’t process it as human. His parents should have tossed him off a cliff. Killing him would be like putting down a dying dog. Except I wouldn’t enjoy putting down the dog.

innocent until proven guilty

why would it cost you a million bucks if you were truly innocent

[ - ] Leveraction 5 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2024 22:31:46 ago (+5/-0)

Ever hear of court costs and attorney fees?

[ - ] x0x7 6 points 7 monthsSep 20, 2024 23:29:57 ago (+6/-0)

The process is the punishment.

x0x7...that is exactly what I told my lawyer

the loser usually has to pay them

[ - ] Zyklonbeekeeper [op] 3 points 7 monthsSep 21, 2024 05:12:50 ago (+3/-0)

@Sleazy....you're joking right? I spent 4years of my life and $880,000.00 for a workplace fatality and I wasn't even on site, that's what it cost to prove my innocence....you don't get out of your basement apt very much do you?
