Rainman, your sense of humor is bodacious. 😆

They're on to a great idea.
Start protesting, everything! Force the news media to hyperventilate as they try to sort the real from the nonsensical.

Get a group to protest fishing, placards of "I Can't Breathe" or on a banner.

Protest money spent and wasted on space exploration. The same "I can't breathe" signs could work there, as well.

Protests against Viagra.
The same signs will do I guess.

Yeah, Kincaid's right.
But, tell ya what, not that long ago, Portland was a really great city. University, symphony, clubs, Theatre, Jake's Crawfish on friday nights, movie theatre on Broadway, just walking around with friends was fun, or cruising Broadway. Lots of young folks, families, safe and good times.
George, you misunderstand. That railroad trip you took, that wasn't on a vintage train. That is Oregon's new high-speed rail.
Pretty soon they will even install tracks, just like in Big Cities!

Yeah, that would be my luck.
Jackpot!!!

Then in a couple of weeks, I'm feet-up, they use the jackpot money to pay for my funeral, then find out there's not enough left over to pay the tax on the winnings, and on and on and on.

Just forget it. Thanks Ax, you ruined everything.

I'll take the suitcase out of my car. I'm not going.

I'm waiting for the outrage and total vindication of all things TDS at any tiny pocket of violence or destruction, if Trump loses.

@Copper said in Music on Tesla coils.:

Like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singing_Tesla_coil

Because solid-state coil drivers are limited to "on-off" modulation, the sound produced consists of square-like waveforms rather than sinusoidal (though simple chords are possible).

So if I understand correctly, the sound is produced by turning the spark on and off in the desired frequency.

Somewhat similar to floppy drive music (where stepper motors are turned with the desired frequency, again producing square waves).

It would be nice, though, to investigate ways to make sounds that are not boring square waves.

The woke left couldn't infantilize black men much more than if they actually called them "boy".

@Mik agreed. Not sure about you, but I said plenty of dumb things before I turned 18 (and after), luckily social media wasn’t around to make them immediately public and permanent records.

Sweet silence! Congrats!

You couldn't do it with white women

Asian women maybe

Asian women that don't speak English

They let the Taser and pepper spray do their talking

Edinborough University

That is a lot of os

There is a future in TDS. People like Kathy Griffin calculate it and bank on it, while people like Lisa Page fall into it more accidentally.

Happy anniversary!

Ax, the way I understand it is that first of all there are all kinds of loopholes due to required interoperability with 2G network, and secondly, you could still do a "man-in-the-middle" attack and just use the authentication replies from the base station. You can easily find "a DIY IMSI catcher for $300" tutorials on the internet.

Or, for that matter, you could just listen passively to the cellular traffic. Yes, it's encrypted, but so is https.

Cats, how awful and frustrating for you. Yes, I think George and Mik have a good hunch about this. You've been dealing with this for so long, and you deserve better. You deserve relief, and you deserve your lifestyle back.

I'm still thinking you should come to Minnesooooooota and be seen at Mayo. Diagnostics is their best feature. You could use that yet to really make your life better.

Sending you 💓.

@George-K I posted that in another thread somewhere. Such a small sample, though, and no control. It’s worth a larger look, though.

On June 3, Rosenstein testified: “I did not suggest or hint at secretly recording President Trump,” denied suggesting 25th Amendment be invoked.

James Baker testified that Page and McCabe told him that Rosenstein wanted to wiretap the President. He goes on to say that they took that seriously.

And Rosenstein was part of the 25th Amendment discussion:

Maybe Sidney Powell will be available for him in a little while.

@Jolly I agree. Those are big benefits. And, as the article mentions (and seems somewhat opposite to the US), if you DONT wear a mask outside, there is a lot of pressure to do so. It is "cooler and hip" to wear a mask rather than the other way around.

Re: Singapore - they have developed their own "homemade" contact trace app they are trying to get people to use. It seems that they did a lot of the right things. Possible part of it is that the population density is much higher. The whole country is basically a city.

@Jolly said in Now Canada too:

I'm sure Trudeau has a lot of experience kneeling.

Well, yeah, Justin Trudeau was raised a Roman Catholic and kneeling is common in various Catholic rites.

@89th Thank for explaining. If nothing else, it prompted me to look up lemming to see where the meme might come from. 😁
