except how do you trust known liars?(politicians ). You can't trust they are telling the truth. Take the description burned alive. I can take a lighter to your skin and hold it to your skin until it has burned you. Therefore you have been burned alive. How many myth buster episodes have something exploding when it just burned really fast?

Descriptions have multiple meanings. Without clear context that politicians never give you cant trust written words. Photos and videos provide clear proofs. And while it can be manipulated as well it is harder to do so.

Right and myth busters has hundreds of episodes where the myth is something exploded but in reality it just burned really fast. And getting it to explode is really really hard.

Descriptive words are very subjective and misleading. I can burn you alive by holding a lighter to your skin until you get a burn. It is descriptively the same meaning.

actually it isn't. some people only need 1,000 calories a day, others need 2,000 extremely active people need 3-5 thousand.

Eating less than a thousand calories a day actually makes you gain fat as your body stores it.

I run about 1,200 calories a day and I can barely maintain my weight. Yes that is two slices of toast for breakfast, a glass a milk. a 140 calories snack bar, and 140 calorie yogurt for lunch, and a healthy dinner of salads, and usually chicken, but I mix up the protein. Very rarely do i eat anything after dinner,

Figure out what to cut out of that. If I could figure out a way of inverting it and eat the big meal in the morning I might be better off but the timing sucks.

Have you ever heard of the word Camera? how about security camera?

every single day you are recorded by numerous devices that you got within close proximity too.

I wouldn't get an RFID chip that isn't replaceable, or at least changeable. Also I am waiting for complex Public key one time transmissions from said chips, instead of static data. Biometrics is a bad security because you can never change it. That is the trick. The key you are using needs to be changeable. It doesn't have to be easy to change, but actually changeable.

What is the first thing one does when they buy a house? You change the locks. As you can't trust that someone else doesn't have keys.

The reason aircraft carriers dominate is power projection range. A couple of missiles from one aircraft can kill a ship hundreds of miles away with gun ranges being 30-40 miles.

Rail guns should have operational targeting range in the 100-200 mile range making them viable for anti ship and ground combat support once again.

Except that the play store is loaded with malware. And advertisers take advantage of mobile websites and android to do all sorts of crap.

Personally I have tried Adblock for android it is crap that doesn't work right. I shouldn't have to have a daemon tuning a local proxy loop to stop malware(seperate advertising is malware).

right and touchscreen smart phones were widely used before the iPhone? yes you had business phones. they had shitty web browsers, could barely display one email at a time, and were a joke.

The apple introduced the iPhone, and all those companies what had smartphones before are either gone, or fading away. So yes you are technically correct apple didn't create the smartphone sector. Apple turned a tiny niche, into a massive piece, showing companies how doing something right all the way through can lead to massive profits.

So when you turn a few thousand units a year into a few billion units it is building it out of nothing.
