TFG or That Florida Guy? Either way, can the GOP win in 2024?
StringJunky replied to Phi for All's topic in Politics
Just her presence in the political limelight is diverting attention and money off him. She's an asset to her opposition. -

The 2020 GOP presidential election spend was $793m. With inflation, let's say it will be $1B this year. The GOP will have to find the $1B plus his court fees, which are nearing half a billion already. He could easily clean up an election years worth of revenue. Can his fanbase support that? -

If I were Trump's opposition, my attack ads would be on how much Republican-base money is being diverted away from actually getting the party back in government. -

But you don't have sex in the shop, amongst other things. In the public space, there isn't lot we can do, but in my home they can fuck off. Any government part of 3 Eyes, 5 Eyes spy rings, whatever, can employ one of the other co-miscreants to infiltrate and do the dirty work for them. They also send legal notices to comms companies saying to the effect; "We want to spy on this person and you are legally bound not to notify our targets." Proper Orwellian. We are no longer in the realm of personal paranoid fantasy that requires unattainable technology. One would be naive to think they aren't trying every trick they can. Have we noticed how many of these "traitors" seem to uniformly land with illegal porn or rape charges? -

I'm in the market for a tv, so this stuff is high in my mind atm.I have read to avoid using the in-built wifi, primarily because tv manufacturers only issue software updates for two or three years. -

It's real enough. Just look at the spec of a modern tv. Our dear respective governments conceived of Fallen Angel around 2017, which was an exercise in remotely accessing and controlling smart tv's. The brave insider who shared this is now doing 40 years for treasonous acts in the US. The actual outcome of the exercise, is irrelevant in my eyes, as it clearly demonstrates our governments have the proactive intent to undermine whatever privacy we have left. -

Some TVs have 5 or more microphones in them, listening for keywords. Ditto other devices. -

Apparently so, reading later, it seems people who challenge these types of judgements pay interest from the day after the court case. He can't use campaign funds on this either because it's not a political matter. -
Leave the battery out of the device overnight. AFAIK ip addresses are only temporary and if your device is absent from the internet for long enough, it will be assigned a new ip.

Trump's down for another judgement of $350m-ish. The judgement summary: -

Heroic... no less. Vladimir Kara-Murza will not be far behind, I think. He's had the poison treatment as well. People like these humble me. -

It's that very poison that actually animates the MAGAs. Most people would turn away. -
Hopefully, people are forewarned after learning the historical antics of the FAANG founding CEO's and how they got where they are. I have read recently that, collectively, Western-cultured minds are not naturally tuned to the demands, complexity and intensity of large scale chip manufacturing. We don't seem to do precision and conformity as a form of cultural second nature, like the Eastern Asians. They are doing this stuff today, and not us, for a reason, methinks.

Self-pollinating impairing cross-pollinization ? [botany]
StringJunky replied to Externet's topic in Other Sciences
Each individual fertilization event is unique and each pollen spore will provide its own genetics. A dozen different pollen varieties on a single tree will produce that many types of crosses. -
The operative word is some, like us here, but in my everyday life it is very much the exception, it seems. I think most people don't shift beyond a certain age. I think part of it is due to hubris and boredom in thinking they've "Seen it all" and therefore switch off to new concepts. If you don't look for new things, the world will appear to stay the same.

Here we say "Northerly, Westerly, Easterly, Southerly". The convention seems to name them where they come from i.e. the source.
