Wait, why would someone call 911 in this context? If you think this is a real person wouldnāt you run over and put the ladder back in place? Or try to catch them?
It looks like the person who put the decorations called 911 themselves just to get a fun video

might multi post into 3d printing, but the question doesnāt really pertain to 3d printing, so I feel like Iāll get more attention hereā¦
Iāve been conscripted to help make a sort of physical validation token for a facebook sale groupā¦ I wont tell you what they sell, but its legal, usually not specifically against TOS but they get zucked a lotā¦ so they keep everything in DMāsā¦ but proving whoās a known entity vs some random is difficultā¦
they want me to make then " vouch coins" for when enough people of clout vouch for someone they can receive a physical tokenā¦
easy enoughā¦
but now Iām toying with the idea of embeding a NTAG into the coinā¦ which I can do nbd thats something I do from time to timeā¦
but what would be a way to BEST utilize this in an identifying manner?
I was initially just going to write some kind of unique funny meme or youtube link to each one and lock the tagā¦ probably record the UID alsoā¦(I have my doubts that non rfid peeps will be able to understand the UIDā¦
also in theory if they are copying the uid and sending it to potential buyersā¦ that info is no longer secure or uniqueā¦
thoughts?
comments on how Iām overthinking it?
I have decreed that in that facebook group, I shall receive the mod title of āmaster of coinā forthwith lol

Definitely a cheap ntag.
Why not individually write them to separate Google forms all linked to the same doc. It only asks for their handle or email and records it. Then you have an active ledger.
I need a bit more explanation but maybe?
My Samsung door lock didnāt really have a problem with battery life, rather battery strength. The lock works fine on four Aa batteries for well over a yearā¦ but the strength of the lock motor.is pretty shit after just a couple months. The bolt routinely gets bound up if the door isnāt closed just perfectly, and sometimes causes the whole lock to brown out in the process.
I made a simple update and I am super happy with the results.

If weāre talking about any ālawsuit cultureā country, then if you run over to put the stair back, you might become liable for any damages that person sustainsā¦
So we develop this pavlovian response to avoid helping anyone as much as we can.

if your definition of BEST = āthe most unhingedā:
then make the token out of an edible material, except for the ntag chip.
This way you can easily fall back to ye olde practice of biting the coin to see if itās real! 
There is no such a thing as overthinking!!
Next youāre gonna tell me about overengineering?
Nonsense!!
Jokes asideā¦
Just toss in an NDEF for a site. if youāre talking about facebook rfid newbs, thatās the easiest way to validate it.
if you want to overengineer a bit, on the site you can add a link to a plain app that checks the chipās UID against your database
if you dial a bit back, each NTAG might have an individual URI param that takes to a page with a pic of the holder.
Iām pretty sure the good Samaritan clause would protect them here

Thatās awful 
I thought about living in the US for a while, if itās really this bad then Iām glad I didnāt!
Idk which cases youāve seen, but Iāve see more than a few stand your ground or castle doctrine get prosecuted for bad shoots,
Take that dude in Detroit a few years back through his door
Iāve generally only seen it give a benefit of the doubt if itās murky, or defensive as the starting pointā¦ but do stupid shit and it wonāt save you
Most law abiding citizens want lethal force to be a purely black and white because we want to stay inside the linesā¦. But general itās a lot more shades of grey when it all hits the fan

Stand your ground i think is different than Castle. Ive seen quite a few questionable Castle cases get upheld.
But i agree. Fuck Around Find Out is big in todays society.

I like the idea, but way too noisy! Iād hate living next to that.
I wonder if someone got sick of the noise and called 911 for a noise comaint, then dispatch sent out a fire truck just in case it wasnāt a fake someone yelling for help and dangling from a roof.
