Fuck you, Czarcasm, for locking my thread.

I think that most people suggested that it was a bad idea for VCO3 to work on his breadboarding project because it’s likely to freak out other passengers (or that the small space and frequent motion make it a bad place to do so). But another reason why it’s a bad idea (and I don’t think I’ve heard anyone make this argument) is the possibility of electromagnetic interference, given that there will be no shielding on the components.

Dnftt.

So, if VC03 actually got busted for his little project, and this thread came into evidence somehow, would it be plus to the defense because it seems to demonstrate no evil intent, or a negative because clearly there was a a lot of advice (that was ignored) not to do it.

Depends what the specific charges are; intent is not a requirement of all crimes. It would probably work against him, because he couldn’t claim to have been ignorant of the possibility that he would cause alarm and/or face criminal charges.

So, any chance of an update on what happened?

Also, why do you want to do something you know has a pretty high risk of “freaking people out”? Are you so self-indulgent the concerns of others means little to you? Have you so little courtesy that you’d choose to make others fearful so you can indulge yourself? If so, fair enough, but please know that doesn’t make you cool, edgy, or original, merely rude.

I was about to compare it to the reasons Der Trihs keeps loudly insisting that anyone with any religious belief is mentally ill/ignorant/deluded, and that US soldiers in Iraq deserve to be killed.

But then I realized that I actually believe that DT at least fully believes in what he says, about deep issues that are still controversial, and have been debated for centuries. This case, not so much. (Except maybe in the belief part, and I’m still not 100% sure there…)

I keep scrolling back to look at this because it makes me laugh so hard I tear up.
