I'm not giving up yet, but I'm getting serious "Silo" Season 2 vibes here, in that we're introduced to and force fed a bunch of new characters that are just flat out non-compelling- either because they're poorly written, or played by shitty, miscast actors.
Obviously, in both Silo and (and especially) Last of Us, the source material is pretty rigid. However, there are creative and casting decisions that I think are going to hurt them this season.
And all that's to say nothing about Bella, who I actually still like in her role, though it remains to be seen (for me at least), whether she can evolve the character in season 2.

I can't tell how this is gonna affect tariff movement
Oldie but goodie. I thought the one in 2018 was better though:
Quote"It’s called the bowling ball test. You know what that is? That’s where they take a bowling ball from 20 feet up in the air and drop it on the hood of the car. And if the hood dents, the car doesn’t qualify,” Trump said at a Missouri fundraiser, an audio recording of which was obtained by NBC News. “It’s horrible, the way we’re treated.”
Reporters scrambled to find factual footing. Was it this Japanese pedestrian safety test, which employs a head-shaped object roughly the size of a bowling ball? Or maybe Trump was thinking of a Nissan ad, The Washington Post suggested.
"I have no idea what he was talking about," said Kristin Dziczek, a director at the independent research firm Center for Automotive Research.
The truth is, regulatory hurdles are actually real (the bowling ball test is not). The article cites an example of one with Japan and how the disparity was addressed under the Obama administration (by, you know, talking). One problem though....
Quote...the Trans-Pacific Partnership eased the regulatory hurdles American automakers face selling cars in Japan, by allowing signatories to use the same expedited review processes domestic Japanese carmakers enjoyed with their vehicles. But Trump withdrew from the TPP shortly after his inauguration, sending the U.S. back to Square 1 when it comes to regulatory obstacles in the auto market.

It just occurred to me, that observing the market over the past week is a lot like back during and after Covid when I dabbled with the OTC for fun. Random, volatile as hell, and shady as all get out.

I think it's going to slide more here at the end. There was some money made today, but who wants to hold overnight? Too much can happen.

S&P actually has some green to it now. Might end up being a fairly neutral day.

Nevermind, yes I will.

Nevermind, no I won't.

Yeah, I think the unpredictability of it all is the thing. Usually when something really bad happens it can't be undone, and there's a formula that follows. This, at least partially, can be undone so there's a variable in the calculus that's not usually there.

The market further collapsed today (but don't mention why). The market at one point surged (but don't mention the report that Trump was considering a 90 day pause). The market then tanked again (but don't mention the White House calling the report fake news).
This thread is much, much more reserved than the thread In Cloak (that's why I'm here), but come on. We don't have to pretend it's not

This is a situation that was completely and wholly driven by a political catalyst from the President of The United States. Why, and honestly how, can it be discussed without inclusion or animus related to the cause?
Jesus, it'd be like discussing someone's chlamydia without including the $20 sexual encounter with the meth-head prostitute on the corner. I mean, it could be done, I suppose. But why if only for the sake of the prostitute and her prostitute friends.

based on the SP500 this morning, the market doesn't seem to care about the new auto tariffs. I don't understand anything anymore.
He's backtracked enough times now, that much of the market simply doesn't believe him.

QuotePrivate contact details of the most important security advisers to U.S. President Donald Trump can be found on the internet. DER SPIEGEL reporters were able to find mobile phone numbers, email addresses and even some passwords belonging to the top officials.
To do so, the reporters used commercial people search engines along with hacked customer data that has been published on the web. Those affected by the leaks include National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Most of these numbers and email addresses are apparently still in use, with some of them linked to profiles on social media platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn. They were used to create Dropbox accounts and profiles in apps that track running data. There are also WhatsApp profiles for the respective phone numbers and even Signal accounts in some cases.
As such, the reporting has revealed an additional grave, previously unknown security breach at the highest levels in Washington. Hostile intelligence services could use this publicly available data to hack the communications of those affected by installing spyware on their devices. It is thus conceivable that foreign agents were privy to the Signal chat group in which Gabbard, Waltz and Hegseth discussed a military strike.
Numbers Linked to Signal Accounts
It remains unclear, however, whether this extremely problematic chat was conducted using Signal accounts linked to the private telephone numbers of the officials involved. Tulsi Gabbard has declined to comment. DER SPIEGEL reporting has demonstrated, though, that privately used and publicly accessible telephone numbers belonging to her and Waltz are, in fact, linked to Signal accounts.The U.S. newsmagazine The Atlantic revealed on Monday that Gabbard, Waltz and Hegseth, along with CIA Director John Ratcliffe and additional officials, discussed an imminent military strike against the Houthi militia in Yemen in a Signal chat. The information shared among the participants included intelligence information and precise attack plans. According to the Atlantic, Waltz added the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Jeffrey Goldberg, to the chat group. Precisely why he did so remains unclear.
The White House confirmed the scandal after the fact. Trump insisted that it did not include classified content, a question that is of particular relevance since members of the U.S. government are not permitted to share such information over Signal. The U.S. special envoy for Ukraine and the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, was even in Russia while participating in the chat group.
DER SPIEGEL was able to find some of the contact information for Gabbard, Hegseth and Waltz in commercial databases, while other information was in so-called password leaks, which are hardly a rarity on the internet. One example is the 2019 discovery by Troy Hunt, who found 773 million email addresses and more than 21 million passwords in a hacker forum.
Since then, there have been numerous additional leaks. Criminals are constantly compiling new collections from hacks, usually to sell them on forums.
It was particularly easy for DER SPIEGEL reporters to discover Hegseth’s mobile number and email address. They turned to a commercial provider of contact information that is primarily used by companies for sales, marketing and recruitment.
DER SPIEGEL sent the provider a link to Hegseth’s LinkedIn profile and received a Gmail address and a mobile phone number in return, in addition to other information. A search of leaked user data revealed that the email address and, in some cases, even the password associated with it, could be found in over 20 publicly accessible leaks. Using publicly available information, it was possible to verify that the email address was used just a few days ago.
The mobile number provided, meanwhile, led to a WhatsApp account that Hegseth apparently only recently deleted. The profile photo showed a shirtless Hegseth in a baseball cap and necklace. Comparisons with other photos of the U.S. secretary of defense using facial recognition software were able to confirm that the photo on the WhatsApp profile was indeed Hegseth.

Waltz’s mobile number and email address could be found using the same service provider. The mobile phone number could even be found using a people search engine popular in the U.S. DER SPIEGEL reporters were also able to find several passwords for Waltz’s email address in leaked databases. The information also led to Waltz’s profiles for Microsoft Teams, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Signal.National Intelligence Director Gabbard was seemingly more careful with her data than her two male colleagues. She apparently had her own data blocked in the commercial contact search engines that contained the data of Hegseth and Waltz. But her email address was to be found on WikiLeaks and Reddit.
Gabbard’s email address is available in more than 10 leaks. One of those also contains a partial telephone number, which, when completed, leads to an active WhatsApp account and a Signal profile.
"Exposed data from top politicians can be used by hackers to launch convincing phishing attacks and gain access to devices and various services such as email, chat tools and PayPal,” says Donald Ortmann, a specialist in information security, information procurement and social engineering. He supports companies and authorities following cyberattacks.
"In addition, deepfake attacks using images and sound available online can be launched to participate in virtual meetings,” says Ortmann. Compromised accounts also enable hackers to "install malware, monitor communications and attempt political blackmail.”
No Response
To protect the private contact information of the U.S. politicians, DER SPIEGEL is not publishing the telephone numbers, email addresses and passwords it found. Furthermore, no tests were performed to determine if the passwords for the email addresses are still active. DER SPIEGEL informed Gabbard, Hegseth and Waltz of its findings.DER SPIEGEL also sought comment from the Defense Department, the National Security Council and the office of the national intelligence director. Thus far, no response has been received.
Personal inquiries sent to Tulsi Gabbard and Michael Waltz via WhatsApp and Signal were delivered, according to the confirmation function. But they have thus far remained unanswered

GPS boundary dog collars
in Can You Help Me With This?
Posted
I don't have any knowledge of GPS programmable perimeters. I think you're kidding with what the post above infers but for others, if not you, I want to encourage to have reasonable, and humane, expectations about training, effectiveness, and how it's supposed to work.
There are two categories of eCollar- I use both. They are both good training aids but have slightly different purposes. However, the goal in both is to not have to zap.
1) Active monitoring (you have the remote and utilize the collar to reinforce verbal commands). This is like an invisible leash. It took about two weeks until the vibrate-only feature and command were enough, and another month until the command itself was reliable.
2) Passive Monitoring (you set a perimeter that the dog learns- though training not pain- not to cross). This is your invisible fence, and what you appear to be asking about. It took two weeks of consistent daily training for each of my dogs on our electric fence (buried line). Assuming you have the ability to physically flag the boundaries at the lake and work daily on it up to Memorial, I don't think the GPS version would be any different.
Please don't just set a parameter and leave it to the ZAP to tell them they've gone too far. It will only terrorize and confuse your dog.
