I was thinking Game of Thrones.

Coincidentally, Americans' trust in woo and pseudoscience continues to climb.

Musk is mad he got caught.

Hooray for regulation.

It's really hard to do on modern operating systems. Too many services that will dogpile a low bandwidth link once they see that a network adapter is up.

So what sort of symbol rate becomes theoretically possible within a HF frequency band?

This company certainly knows what it's doing! Such long term vision!

Only if you're predisposed to thinking that lab leak is the default explanation.

It's funny that Bitcoiners are saying that Bitcoin isn't crypto. The term is so toxic that they've disowned it... even though Bitcoin is literally the original crypto!

IMO the games which flexed VDP2 were the most impressive since you could do crazy raster effects without dropping the frame rate one iota. Equivalent effects on the Playstation, if even possible, came at a cost of GSU fillrate.

If you want more context[0], here's more:

But if you don't want to follow a link, here's a quote: Over the years, Moon’s hidden money has helped many Republicans through hard times. In the 1980s, the American Freedom Council defended North against Iran-Contra charges and distributed 30 million pieces of political literature to help elect George Bush in 1988. It was later revealed that the AFC was backed by $5 million to $6 million from business interests associated with Moon.

Moon’s organization also kept the right’s direct-mail guru Richard Viguerie afloat in the 1980s. At one stage, Viguerie profited from a big contract with the Washington Times for subscription solicitations, then, while facing a financial crisis that threatened his company’s future, Viguerie sold a building to a top Moon aide, Bo Hi Pak, for $10 million.

Yet, even as Moon has gained influence in GOP circles, the sources of his money have always been suspect. In the late 1970s, a congressional investigation tied Moon’s Unification Church to the “Koreagate” influence-buying scheme directed by South Korea’s intelligence service, the KCIA, against U.S. institutions. In 1983, the moderate Republican Ripon Society raised warning flags, too. Rep. Jim Leach (R-Iowa), then Ripon chairman, charged that Moon’s church had “infiltrated the new right and the party it [the new right] wants to control, the Republican Party, and infiltrated the media as well.”

But President Ronald Reagan embraced the Washington Times as his “favorite” newspaper and Moon’s newspaper returned the favor by defending the Reagan-Bush administrations at nearly every turn. In 1991, President Bush invited the paper’s new editor-in-chief, Wesley Pruden, to lunch “just to tell you how valuable the Times has become in Washington, where we read it every day.”

Oh, TIL. I've noticed Newsweek's decline. Lots of flame-fanning.

The First Amendment says that religion and government should remain separate. I have the right to freely observe that some religions are aggressively testing that boundary more than others.

But, "intentionally misleading"? Can you please explain the ways I've mislead people? Here are some essays which go into the claims in more detail.

As for The Epoch Times' reputation, its slant is immediately obvious upon reading the paper or seeing YouTube ads for it.

Simple: grifting. Influence is what's important to them. They tap into wellsprings of conservative grievance to increase media outreach. They became antivax when antivax sentiment went up, they're here for the trans freakout, and they'll surely work to be in place for the next hot button issue, too.

The Moonies have woven themselves into the American right wing for decades. Reagan said the Washington Times, which is an organ of the Unification Church, was his favorite newspaper.

You can see Falun Gong attempting the same in the United States. The Epoch Times is Falun Gong's "media outlet" and it sponsors and shapes a lot of content online. It's all bankrolled by Shen Yun performances too. These rabbit holes go to strange places!

It keeps happening. From the very beginning "free" software has been plagued with overloaded language.

And it will pump the stock in the meantime!

Knowing the quality of Saturn 3D games I can't imagine the 3D GPS feature was any good..

Thank you for sharing your link.

Groan, I'm A/C!!

It would unlock insurance money for treating the root cause.

Long COVID's effects are so random and personalized that many people have to throw the kitchen sink at it until they find a solution that works for them.

They're not wrong! LOL

We never had the freedom (to trade with embargoed powers) to begin with.

I don't understand how all these makers are "adopting" the standard in cases where V2L is a huge selling point for their cars.

NACS' implementation of V2L is literally a TODO in their "specification" doc. I'm not joking.

$1 doesn't mean ad-free.

They are killing their golden egg-laying goose. It's good.

I listen to audio from retrogaming YouTubes to fall asleep.

Jeremy Parish (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrIttXi0WgLXHI1poCk0D6g) has been my jam lately. His content is well done, his narration is articulate and spoken in a low-key academic voice, and the content is interesting but not _too_ interesting.

Zzzz!

Crashy hard suspensions, misaligned panels, steering wheels with disintegrating foam, pleather that warps and melts in contact with body oils... The competition has caught up in the drivetrain dept and completely eclipsed Tesla in the fit and finish department.

Supercharging is the last ace up Tesla's sleeve.

Get a bunch of manuals so you can RTFM.

Thanks for the well annotated article. There are a lot of useful links here.

The FBI is concerned more with the militia-like "tacticool" style of LARPing.
