Reminds me of that Iraqi official who, during Desert Storm, kept saying victory was imminent right up the moment the allied tanks came rolling up the street.

This is what I did through Zenni as well. Only, I intend to get a third pair of glasses. The distance at which you read a computer screen compared to a physical book is very different.

What about treadmill-based walking? It’s too freaking hot out during the summer.

But if he ordered a member of the military to do it, they are required to refuse illegal orders

But the argument is that if the President orders it, it’s not illegal. Nixon tried that and got shot down.

Unlike the precision guided munitions, the new F-15s would need to be built from scratch. A US official said there are no plans to expedite delivery of the jets to Israel so, if approved, they would not be delivered to Israel for at least five years.

Is that enough time to vote in some Dems who will stop it?

So Trump moved money around from one PAC to another, all in the hopes of juggling some of that money into his own pocket. It would be a real shame if some investigative journalist were to track down all of those different transfers and discover some of them were against FEC rules. A darn shame.

Did they get Mexico to pay for it?

So Earth had been slowing down until 2016. There have been no leap seconds added since then. Due to the ice melting at the polar caps the weight is off at top and bottom and that land has been rising, making Earth more spherical. This has led to the Earths speeding up in its rotation. They’re saying we might have to add an inverse leap second, or rather just subtract one.

I’d read a few years ago, there’s a particular industry that has become very dependent upon the atomic clocks that are attached to the GPS system. That industry is finance. Now, we’re not talking about your check clearing for your car payment, but rather immense transfers of money. The article discussed how one or two seconds of interest on your mortgage payment is nothing, but once you start getting into corporate buyout amounts, you’re talking about real money. I’m sure the money people will find a way around this issue and account for any differences in calculations. What are you going to do if one country decides, out of whatever kind of stupidity, to not add a leap second or remove one?

The great replacement is real, though. Whites have been replacing the indigenous people for centuries.

One of the few times I’ve found myself rooting for the pharma industry.

You could run Kodi, Emby, or Plex and get local access through DLNA access.

I have a QNAP RAID set up that Emby catalogs and handles access for. An Emby app on my LG TV, and a Roku on other TVs. Some RAID systems will just plug into your network and allow you to install apps on them directly.

Another option is to use MediaMonkey to catalog and provide access. They even have an Android app.

Lastly, regular external HDD are meant for occasional access, not continuous work. Most have a duty cycle of about 25%, meaning they should only be run about that amount of time before dying. This is why I went with NAS HDDs. If you have the money, go with an expandable RAID. Once you start using that capacity, you’ll find you want more.

If you should run across any “conservatives” who are against regulating deepfakes, just show them this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLHvu-V7v7Q

If trump were to get re-elected, will this be the first one pardoned?

Five will get you ten, they ask for a government bailout when Trump fails to repay them.

Tell me your company, and I will tell you what you are.

-Miguel de Cervantes disclaimed credit for the saying by calling it proverbial; thus, it was already circulating in Spanish before 1615.

This bill also does not cover the expansion of duck hunting season, among other COMPLETELY UNRELATED issues.

than it is for them to accept the truth.

than it is to use critical thinking skills.

There, fixed that for you.

I would much rather see him stroke out in Georgia state prison while watching the election results come in, giving Biden a second term.

Considering the medical field student loans, that probably causes a major increase.

It’s almost $8,000 per person involved. A small enough investment in the future.
