Trump is dominating the primaries. That doesn’t mean he’ll beat Biden
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Sure he is. As long as someone else counts the change. And he has to stay in the truck, away from the little girls' hair. -
Yeah. 'Cause Dems (and the complicit MSM who hate Trump) are really going to say that quiet part out loud... Bottom line, if she filed the same lawsuit today, it would be dismissed under the statute of limitations. But for that magic time window, she was able to attack Trump in court with a rape that she can't even remember what year it happened. Pardon me if I don't believe it.

On May 24, 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Adult Survivors Act (ASA) into law, which gives survivors of sexual assault an opportunity to heal and seek justice. The Adult Survivors Act creates a special one-year look-back window to allow survivors whose case or claim expired outside the statute of limitations, and who were 18 or older when they were sexually assaulted in New York State, to file a lawsuit against the person who harmed them and/or the negligent institution. The one-year window will begin on November 24, 2022 and will allow survivors to sue, even if they were already outside of the civil statute of limitations. But the timing is just coincidental, and this isn't about getting Trump in an election year, is it? https://www.safehorizon.org/programs/adult-survivors-act-qa/

Not here in China where Google's blocked. I have to use Bing. And that's a link to an article saying there will be a trial. Nothing about the progress of the trial which may be embarrassing to the "most secure election in history" crowd. A bic pen and 7 seconds is all it took to hack into the machines. If the trial were about Trump, they'd be shouting it from the rooftops.

I mis-spoke. The plaintiffs have rested their case. Now the defense is up. There's a lot more regarding methods to manually and by USB card take over the machines, change votes and erase audit logs, well worth getting eyeballs singed looking at some of the right wing stuff that I can't link. But here's an appetite whetter... The plaintiffs’ case included a demonstration by Halderman, the University of Michigan computer scientist, about ways to hack the state’s voting machines. One involved using a pen to hold the machine’s power switch for seven seconds. At that point, Georgia Tech computer science professor Richard DeMillo told Atlanta Civic Circle, “you’ve taken over the machine … and can install software or crash the machine.” Despite Halderman’s demonstration, the state treated the vulnerabilities as “theoretical,” DeMillo said. State election officials countered that such a hack has never happened in an actual Georgia election. Halderman acknowledged that there is no evidence that the vulnerabilities he demonstrated for the voting machine have actually been exploited. “The state responded stupidly,” said DeMillo, who founded Georgia Tech’s cybersecurity program and has given testimony in support of the plaintiffs’ case. “In engineering, if there’s a bad bolt on a bridge, it’s going to collapse some day. The fact that it hasn’t doesn’t mean anything.” https://atlantaciviccircle.org/2024/01/25/state-doesnt-understand-the-technology-plaintiffs-rest-their-case-in-trial-over-georgias-voting-machines/

After Trump’s NH win, Biden gets the opponent he wants
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Where I come from, we refer to that as buying votes. Also, throwing money against the wall to see what sticks. It'll be years before we see if any of his infrastructure pays out, or just a bunch of boondoggles for votes and donations from the beneficiaries. Gotta say, I watched parts of the so called speech and I'm impressed by the transcriber's ability to translate Klingon. Or whatever language he was using. Because the transcript, as bad as it looks, is a lot more lucid than the speech was. -
My bad. I queried their site for dominion and georgia and got no result. That's an announcement of a trial that's already been completed (except the ruling) Have they updated with the results, since the trial has concluded? Like the fact that the machine expert (Haldeman) was able to hack them and change votes with a bic pen? Strangely, I just binged up dominion and bic pen and got a lot more recent results than dominion and georgia. Seems I underestimated the MSM... Newsweek and MSN, anyway. Still crickets from CNN and no trial results from Politico.

U.S. lists Houthis as terrorists, rebels hit another US-operated ship
impulse replied to Amethyst's topic in World News
Houthis weren't on the radar like Hamas back then. They are now. And they know that the only way to hurt the USA isn't on the battlefield. What choices does that leave them? Ya figure that big, open border may give them...ideas? -
Here's one. Not even a right wing site. Just the facts. https://atlantaciviccircle.org/2024/01/25/state-doesnt-understand-the-technology-plaintiffs-rest-their-case-in-trial-over-georgias-voting-machines/ Here's another, not right wing at all: https://www.securityinfowatch.com/cybersecurity/news/53083058/georgia-breach-highlighted-as-voting-machine-trial-opens Here's the latest from CNN, about 6 months ago. You'd think they'd cover this month's trial, but nope. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/14/politics/dominion-voting-georgia-vulnerabilities-2024/index.html But the MSM? Crickets... I'll have to let you scrounge through the right wing stuff that's not approved. Lots more information there. Google "bic pen".

You're going to have to give me a hint. I just binged CNN Georgia Dominion and the most recent result is from last summer. I queried CNN's site and got nothing more recent... Nothing on Politico searching Georgia Dominion, either. Got a link for any of those MSM sites? I'd give you my links, but they're not approved sources.

After Trump’s NH win, Biden gets the opponent he wants
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Wow. Even with a ton of lipstick applied by his lackeys, this pig isn't comprehensible. He talked about infrastructure. Every week, when — for four years, he was going to increase the infr- — “We’re at ‘Infrastructure Week.’” Well — (laughs) — we have Infrastruc- — Infrastructure Year. (Laughter.) He didn’t get — on my watch, instead of Infrastructure Week, America is having an Infrastructure Decade. (Applause.) https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/01/25/remarks-by-president-biden-on-investing-in-america-and-the-bipartisan-infrastructure-law-superior-wi/ And I still don't know how to spell all those words he made up. -
Recommendations for Doctor that treats Acid Reflex/Gerd (BKK)
impulse replied to Dan747's topic in Health and Medicine
If you find satisfaction, please post back. I have spent thousands and thousands of $$$ (and that was copay, after insurance probably paid tens of thousands) over the decades, only to end up on Omeprazole for the past 20 years. (Drives some of my doctors crazy, but it was either that, or shoot myself for relief because they had nothing else that worked). Before Omeprazole became generic and OTC, it was Famotidine. Before that, it was baking soda and Tums, going back to the early '80s. Find a good doctor, for sure. If you want some relief in the meantime, I have found that Miracid brand Omeprazole to be the most reliable in Thailand. Some of the other brands were hit and miss. Every pharmacy has it. -
Do you really need an onward flight?
impulse replied to Jack1988's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Like Clint says, when you walk up to the departure ticket counter: “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?” Well, do you...?'” Flying visa exempt, I get asked about 1/3 the time in my 10 entries since Covid. Not, of course, when it's the outgoing leg of a R/T ticket on the same airline and they can see it on their screen... About 75% of the time if you exclude those. So I wouldn't risk it unless I had an app to buy a ticket on the spot. Mostly Chinese airlines and Scoot. Never asked by immigration, but I always wear a collared shirt, long pants and a smile. And I have a pretty clean record of coming and going... -
ePacket from Thailand, anyone got a wife or kid using it for e-commerce?
impulse replied to impulse's topic in General Topics
Truth be told, the reason I tossed out fisherman's pants on Amazon is because that's not what I plan... That, I'm holding a little closer to the vest. But it does illustrate why I would need cheap shipping. I appreciate the input, especially from someone who's been there and done that. Thanks again. Sadly, my favorite idea is already being done: https://www.amazon.com/Phallic-Phallus-Buddhist-Blessing-Paladkik/dp/B016D68B8C -
U.S. lists Houthis as terrorists, rebels hit another US-operated ship
impulse replied to Amethyst's topic in World News
Christopher Wray seemed to be concerned... And that was before the war really went hot with the Houthis. Wray answered: “The group of people that you’re talking about are a source of great concern for us. That’s why we are aggressively using all 56 of our joint terrorism task forces.” Chairman Green continued: “But there’s really no way for you to guarantee Hamas isn’t in them. … Do you think that number, that increased number increases the threat to the American people?” Wray answered: “I think any time you have a group of people in the United States we don’t know nearly enough about, that is a source of concern for us.” https://homeland.house.gov/2023/11/15/fbi-director-wray-confirms-the-border-crisis-poses-major-homeland-security-threat-dhs-secretary-mayorkas-stonewalls/ -
ePacket from Thailand, anyone got a wife or kid using it for e-commerce?
impulse replied to impulse's topic in General Topics
True that. I wouldn't suggest they compete head to head with a product that can be found in China. But there are some OTOP and other Thai-centric products that have no equal from China. Genuine Thai fisherman pants are one example. Look them up on Amazon and the selection is awful. They only last a few dozen washings and I suspect a lot of tourists may order them, just for the nostalgia. But cheap shipping is the key... Thanks for the info! -
U.S. lists Houthis as terrorists, rebels hit another US-operated ship
impulse replied to Amethyst's topic in World News
During Biden's administration, somewhere over 8 million unvetted people crossed the US border, with tens of thousands more on the way. Hundreds already on terror watch lists. And now we're in an asymmetric war with a terrorist group who know they can't damage the USA on the battlefield. What could possibly go wrong? -

So you think it's a good idea to have open borders when you're in an asymmetric war with a terrorist group? -
After Trump’s NH win, Biden gets the opponent he wants
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
That's great. Because I want to know how they'll spell some of those words he made up. -
On that, we agree, But I always got the sense that cars weren't the big play. I was intrigued when they announced an insurance product (because who knows better how to forecast payouts?) And I hope it doesn't happen, but I can foresee the day you'll be looking down at your navigation display and it will be pointing you to that restaurant or theme park you're approaching. Not to mention selling your driving data to advertisers. Where you go, how often, where you stop for breaks, where you spend your dinnertime on the town... Then there's subscription services for basic and advanced features on your navigation display. There's a whole Orwellian market to tap related to cars. Just like they're making $$ billions on computers and smartphones. And the money's not coming from the consumer. We're just the product.
