...Hunter Biden is a crackhead in the pay of foreign interests?

That was a story American media companies suppressed because it was true and hurt the candidate they wanted to win.

We all know that the only "hate speech" that will be suppressed is speech that the ruling powers hate.

The belief that periodic natural disasters, which have plagued mankind from time to time throughout recorded history, is "climate change" is essentially a religious belief, though one that doesn't seem to deter the likes of Al Gore and Barack Obama from buying swanky mansions situated on beachfront property.

There is zero evidence that hurricanes today are more or less powerful than at other times in recorded history. Read up on Racer's Storm, a far more powerful and persistent storm than Ida which struck in 1837.

All this boils down to "Natural Disasters Suck." No shit. The "climate change" spin is just an attempt to shoehorn random weather events into The Narrative.

"Snopes co-founder and owner caught plagiarizing dozens of articles."

This accusation was verified.

By Snopes.

Everyone knows you only need three design elements per page:

1. Papyrus for headlines
2. Comic Sans for body text
3. The first piece of public domain clip art that comes up in an image search on the topic

Why overthink design when you could spend the time learning the latest hot language or framework to get you the next gig when this one implodes?

Extreme ultraviolet lithography is insane.

You can't just steal the plans. You need to steal all the techniques across dozens of disciplines that feed into the machine.

Semiconductors are hard. Cutting edge fabs are very hard. ASML's EUV stepper is insanely hard to replicate.

China would have to steal the tools to steal the tools that make that tools that go into the stepper...

If you want to be at 7nm or 5nm, you pretty much have to buy an ASML EUV stepper.

Are they still trying to do Cobalt for interconnects?

"Well, at least we didn't do the worst version of The Lord of the Rings!"

*Yeah, I know Rankin is dead. His shade sighed in relief...

Probably not. I bet Slashdot has probably had at least one back-to-back dupe...

There's a 99.9% chance this story is complete bunk just like all the other media hoaxes of the last five years.

See Charles Murray's Losing Ground: American Social Policy, 1950-1980 , pages 150-152. In those two studies, there was a reduction in a desire to work and the number of hours worked, and an increase in the time recipients stayed on unemployment.

And the effect was more pronounced in the longer study.

We know they were conducting gain in function experiments on coronaviruses.

And as for Ebola, we know China illegally acquired samples of that from a Candian lab as well. So it makes sense to assume that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was probably working on that as well.

All evidence points toward and accidental lab release. There's no reason to believe it was a finished bioweapon rather than an in-progress work.

There's a good chance that the Wuhan Cornavirus originated in a lab. But how on earth would you think any international agency would dare mention that when they can't even bring themselves to condemn documented genocide?

Given Hunter Biden's documented financial ties to China, I wouldn't expect the Biden Administration to do any more either.

And did you hear that Biden's pick to be CIA head ran a think tank that was filthy with Chinese cash?

I don't think it will work.

Silver is fundamentally different than stock in GameStop, and I don't feel they have anything like a good grasp on the dynamics of that market.

(More detailed version here.)

1. Some big hedge funds shorted more GameStop stock than actual shares outstanding. This is called a "naked short" and is illegal.
2. Some redditors noticed this, and bought the stock.
3. The stock soared as more and more investors bought.
4. To close out their short positions, those hedge funds must purchase shares of GameStop, even if it means suffering a huge loss. This is what's know as a "short squeeze."
5. Rather than sucking it up and taking their losses, many hedge funds not only doubled down on shorts, they went crying to the Biden Administration and their friends in the media that it was unfair they had been beaten at their own game.
6. Result: Ameritrade, Robinhood and others halt retail accounts from buying the stock, ostensibly due to "volatility," but actually to bail out the hedge funds.

...was that it benefited a Republican candidate.

If it helped a Democrat, the media never would have expressed the slightest interest in it...
