  1. We all seem to be watching different streams or platforms or something, like everybody is off 30 seconds or a minute from each other.
  2. Okay that’s a running game I can support.
  3. Yeah, the Dems need to be a lot more vocal about the files and Trump and the GOP trying to cover them up. Plenty of us are needling our MAGA relatives about the files, but there needs to be a lot higher profile. Which would require the media to do its fucking job.
  4. Same, probably by 2 touchdowns
  5. TRUMP ENDED A WAR BETWEEN CAMBODIA AND ARMENIA, GIVE HIM THE FUCKING AWARD, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
  6. I didn't tear up when the Oilers had that little problem with the Buffalo Bills.
  7. The one guy in the Little Green Men hat from Toy Story still kills me every time I see this.
  8. Series finale next week. Looks like they are finally wrapping up The Wall.
  9. President Trump's announcement of potential 100% tariffs starting on China on Nov 1 will get all the attention, but export controls on "any and all critical software" could be extremely far-reaching, depending on how "critical software" is defined. Broadly scoped, this could capture any U.S. software or product containing U.S. software - which would disrupt most tech flows to China. It also could be scoped to block Chinese access to U.S. cloud computing services, as well as U.S. AI models. That would be extremely painful for Beijing. Narrowly scoped, this could just restrict U.S. chip-design software (which the U.S. controlled in May in response to the original Chinese rare earth controls, but subsequently issued licenses for). That would be far narrower than the scope of the controls that China announced. Bottom-line: There is significant ambiguity regarding what exactly President Trump is threatening here. He deserves credit for moving swiftly to push back on China's actions. But precise and credible threats are necessary to deter China from implementing their controls - and for this threat to be effective, additional clarity is likely necessary. Truth Details | Truth Social It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations. Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software. It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
  10. Sitting member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee
  11. Old Hedgehog had to come out and issue a "clarification" after MAGA lost their shit.
  12. Interesting article about nations switching from peacetime to war, using Ukraine as an example Adapting from Peace to War: From Ukraine to Future War
  13. Putin: I'm going to fly some drones around Northern Europe The Netherlands: We are going to partner up with Ukraine and pump 300 million Euros into long-range attack drone and counter-drone systems manufacturing, and it'll be done here, out of reach of Russian attacks. Putin: I am a genius.
  14. Which led me to this, and no way this guy can get with somebody like that.
  15. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
  16. Part of it/all of it has to do with how the frames are captured when a high-speed object is filmed. It’s called Rolling Shutter. Rolling shutter is a process of image capture in which a still picture (in a still camera) or each frame of a video (in a video camera) is captured not by taking a snapshot of the entire scene at a single instant in time but rather by scanning across the scene rapidly, vertically, horizontally or rotationally. Thus, not all parts of the image of the scene are recorded at the same instant – however, during playback, the entire image of the scene is displayed at once, as if it represents a single instant in time. This produces predictable distortions of fast-moving objects or rapid flashes of light, referred to as rolling shutter effect. It’s why you see things like this
  17. Trump did not take kindly to Musk being treated like he was in charge.
