The first two in each set seem good to me.

What is my agenda? That I want to see a GOP presidency the way they are now?

Yes, the GOP are making meal of it, but I think you realize that we here are not pro-Trump and trying to undermine Biden in a partisan manner. It is what what it is, with regard to what we observe. For what it's worth, I would rather have Biden over Trump regardless of his physical and cognitive state. For having just these two as the only choices from a population of 340m is a rather sad state of affairs though. I'm firmly with MigL on setting an age limit to reduce the possibility of this happening again. There is no place for sentimentality in national and global politics

Reading today, BBC I think, Two medical pro's have him down as showing Parkinson's. GOP propaganda or not, Biden is cognitively and physically declining. The effect on him is global.

Applying the same idea/rule as before: In the above sentence, 'month' is the shortest period-unit, since there are 12 months in the year, and 'year' is the plurality of a 'month'. So, it is quite correct to say "On the last month of the year. Context matters whether in or on is used,

As an English native, I would say "IN the last month", suggesting within a period of a month. A 'month' is a plurality of 'days'. The correct time to use 'on' is when describing singular days, In this context, 'days' represent a singular period-unit that is not considered divisible. So, you can't meet someone "In Wednesday", but you can meet them "On Wednesday".

I had coffee earlier with a friend. He's not much into US politics, but he did comment that he should step aside after seeing snippets of last night. Age has caught up with him. Another 4 years of Trump is a very real possibility if he doesn't step down. Biden is not competent enough anymore. If he doesn't leave, I think he will ruin his overall legacy because how he is now is what people will remember.

I notice on FB that some people are typing in a format like this: The in.cid.ent took place on July 19..... What is the bolded (for clarity) part about? Is it some sort of algorithm censor bypassing technique? If so, why would the seemingly innocuous word 'incident' be presented like that?

Just had a look on my Android phone (Android 13 OS) with Brave installed and gone on this site. No ads. Brave Shields, the built-in blocker on its own seems to do the trick. Click on the the lion icon up top to toggle it off for a site if it gets in the way of access. There are two levels of ad removal: aggressive and normal, and other options. If it's too stripped down for you, but works here, you could just use it for here and use Chrome for your other sites.

A perpetual motion machine is theoretically impossible though. Fusion isn't.

OK. Cheers.

I've rarely had problems with ads on Android or Windows.

Have you tried Brave browser on your phone? It is a very non-invasive browser and geared towards user experience, rather than facilitating advertisers. It's my goto on Windows 11.

I'd say just keep using and developing all the current options, and then when fusion is viable phase out fission.

Is it on a phone or pc? Is it an iphone or Apple computer?

I was wrong. See my post after.

From your first link: Although it is far more efficient, It'll still drive up absolute energy demand by 5X up to 2030, which is what I was trying to say.

I wonder if distributed server farms could become a thing where consumers devices are used for a price or benefit. The information locations could decentralize the system and make it more secure? Parts of encrypted files could be randomly distributed and recompiled on demand by those who have the necessary keys.

5G is just the 'pipes' of the system, but much wider. I think of it as removing bottlenecks. There will be likely much more data shoved through as it becomes available, which puts further energy demand on the system.

When 5G gets widely rolled out with its much higher bandwidth, demand will go nuts, I reckon.

The iTunes backup should be a sequential backup, which means it is added on to what's already there.

@ImplicitDemandsYou've had some solid advice given here that I don't think you will anywhere on any other other random forum. None of us are spring chickens (young) and have been around many of the issues in getting through life. My avatar is from my mid-late forties iirc and I'm 62 now.

I was thinking that too. Nine pages is long enough.

If a person can physically have sex with another, but doesn't, they are NOT involuntary celibates. It's not a case of can't, but won't. It's a state of wilful inaction, then blaming someone else by proxy. ImplicitDemands is not an involuntary celibate, they have created demands that are unreasonable. The 'obstacles' are of their own creation. The outcome of this behaviour is a forgone conclusion. This is by design for reasons only they know.
