In the old days this would look like Yellow Journalism.

- Stolen 2020 election
I think there are many unanswered questions around the 2020 election, but it's over and settled. One observation - our election systems are nearly impossible to validate or audit, whether it seems necessary or not.

- Covid lableak
There's some evidence that Covid-19 was manufactured. Where seems fairly obvious in hindsight. Why is the more important question.

- Potentially the entire "Epstein list", potentially
This has gone all to hell. We will never know.

- Euromaidan being a CIA plot
If you want to perform a regime change, the CIA is an excellent choice to implement it. We may never know anything true about Ukraine, but I'm more interested in several other European political adventures.

- Anything to do with vaccine skepticism
You really do need to read more.

- "The Great Reset"
Which one?

Now, consider;

The Russia dossier hoax
The fine people hoax

And consider the Covid;
Social distancing
Mask enforcement
Ivermectin as a veterinary medicine (ie:not for humans)

You can see where I'm going. I expect you to reject these, so you can save the time.

if he gets much better he won't work at all...

Is it still a conspiracy theory when it's proven to be real and true?

Bear in mind that during the Covid pandemic the vaccines etc. were presented as emergency measures, necessary for our survival. There was no time to research them (in hindsight) sufficiently, the dangers were so great, that our public health industry presented them as life or death necessities.

Alas, we should now know to not let the public health industry directly set public policy. They are neither equipped nor concerned with the consequences, reject the arguments of whether this 'should' or 'should not' be a public policy forced upon citizens, nor do they suffer the consequences of bad decisions at the polls.

And to this day, hardly any meaningful investigation has been completed or evaluated publicly, not any of the actors now known to have acted deceptively suffered any real consequences, nor held responsible.

'Misinformation'. Any person examining the evidence could also recognize this well described as 'contrary opinion'. The First Amendment was discarded in the name of public health, and the public health was not improved or sustained because of it.

Never Again.

Hopefully your current and future 'software engineers' will learn, quickly, to refocus on systems design, business process design, and leave the head down coding to machines that will eventually automate the grunt work of this and that.

Of course, the transition w

The transition will be ugly. But ask any CPA how they feel the transition from paper ledgers to Excel spreadsheets to modern accounting software ruined their profession...

That's the model to aim for. Many a CPA I did work for offered value in interpreting law and regulations, business practices, and directing their clients to value and profit. I've known a few 'software engineers' that wanted to be left alone to their coding. That was never a good plan.

Luke AFB, nominally located in Glendale, AZ, was built long before housing was built as close to it as ii is today. Mostly farms back then. In time, of course, development ensured, and now many residents complain bitterly about jet noise. They never were told, nor realized, that they bought their house next to an active Air Force base that was there decades ago, in 1941.

Until 2019 it was in Surprise, AZ city ordinance that realtors or sales agents needed to have on their person a map of the Luke AFB locale, the noise levels to be expected, and to offer it to prospective buyers and sellers upon request, and to disclose this information prior to contract. And they had to have this on their person even if they were not actively engaged in real estate or related business. Yes, having lunch with friends. $500 fine. Rescinded in 2019, but sales agents in offices must display the map still.

Luke is an active F-35 training base. Your house, if located within the flight paths or approaches, was built after Luke was an established feature of the area. If you got cheated, well, sad.

Most airports that seem poorly located were in fact the preexisting users, and have seen the surrounding land built up, sometimes inappropriately. 'Always open space' is a laudable goal, remembering that will result in traffic, longer access times, and the inevitable pressure to build something there.

I'd like an OS that works like I want it to on my phone, tablet, desktop, and laptop.

Oh, wait. No I would not.

I don't use a conventional desktop PC any more. I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with an NVMe drive that does adequately, but it's also my home server gadget. RaspiConnect gets me a username desktop if I need another one. Debian ftw.

I also have a VisionFive 2 sbc running another adequate desktop if I need a second independent instance. Debian ftw again... And when this gets an NVMe drive and the RDP lag issue fixed, it will be ready for more punishment. Eventually it's going into the field for amateur radio POTA/SOTA/fooling around/eConm.

And my laptops both run windows 11 in one of the fast release rings because I remember Windows 3 .1, ME, and Vista, and 11 is solid in comparison. Right now no Linux desktop attracts me, but I might demote one this fall, just to see. So I need is Fusion 360 to run.

Turns out I only want the Android/ChromeOS blend on my truly mobile devices. Sure, Alphabet, you can try, but only when you can run niche apps as a desktop app will I be able to change.

But I'm dying to see what they come up with. Can it be as fun as AIX 3.2 on an N40?

"the next guy is definitely going to use all the power that Trump amassed, along with presidential immunity from law, to its full extent. That is very scary."

Assuming the next guy is a guy, I'm sure future Presidents will take as examples all that has transpired before. As if ethics are the exclusive province of one political party rather than another. If you think party affiliation is any measure of character you're more deluded than is tolerable in honest company. Prove me wrong.

Yes, but clearly you don't hear much of what he says.

Consider the complexities of killing whoever transmitted AIDS to you. Family member, spouse, acquaintance...

TDS: a set of beliefs,irrational, illogical hatred of the individual known as Donald J Trump, his statements and actions. Hated despite any evidence or facts contradictory to such a hatred. Such hatred expanded, often, to include hatred of any who do not share this set of beliefs and emotional responses. The sources, impetus, foundations of this syndrome vary, but are commonly and consistently expressed as the described hatred. Often this syndrome is manifested by virulent, violent, and prolonged outbursts. It is consistent with the syndrome that sufferers take violent action against Trump or associates, real or imagined.

That's about the best I can do I haven't looked for any official or accepted definition. Mine is derived from observation, direct and indirect.

The difference between knowing and not carrying. And the whole 'why'. Knowing how Trump has so often framed these actions, I suspect he sees the US global contribution as substantially out of proportion to that of the rest of the world. Regions severely impacted by AIDS are notably poorer and less able to fund their own programs. Whether we've spent more than we ought to have been expected to I do not know.

Maybe, maybe not. But disagreeing with you doesn't prove he didn't care.

Despite continuing hallucinations from all corners of the extreme, Trump is constitutionally ineligible for reelection in '28. At least many knowledgeable in that are believe so. I agree.

I'm an American, not a bot or agent. But it's cheap to insert that variable, I understand.

I don't though the economy is going to tank over the next 4 or even 8 years. But I'm not a fortune teller.

Things have 'been' real bad. You notice at all?

Aside from the TDS, you're not making enough sense to excuse you from relying on the Leftist media for your assigned opinions. Have at it.
