https://kk.org/streetuse/escape-devices/ This site features the ways in which people modify and re-create technology. Herein a collection of personal modifications, folk innovations, street customization, ad hoc alterations, wear-patterns, home-made versions and indigenous ingenuity. In short -- stuff as it is actually used, and not how its creators planned on it being used. As William Gibson said, "The street finds its own uses for things." I welcome suggestions of links, and contributions from others to include in this compendium. -- KK Tue, 29 Jan 2019 00:16:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.9.12 https://kk.org/streetuse/escape-devices/#comment-78372 Tue, 29 Jan 2019 00:16:00 +0000 #comment-78372 At metal shop in school there was one instructor to teach and also stop the students from making pot pipes and other banned devices. It was hard to make these without getting caught. So I tend to believe that a jailhouse staff, unable to catch inmates making real guns in the metal shop, must be in on it too.
