it was the woman he briefly resigned his place in the company over during the hush money scandal. of course, he died his hair jet black and grew a weird moustache and he muscled his way back in via wme/endeavor, who you may recognize as a giant hollywood talent agency and the company that purchased the ufc and wwe after vince stepped down and merged them into tko, and was involved in a lot of celebrity crypto scams.

anyway, this was all under nda, which he violated by not paying her hush money. now it's all public, including the suprisingly creepy and teenage texts. and it's pretty disgusting.

Queston what would be the effect if...

Trump drops dead or becomes incapacitated and he is the nominee?

Biden drops dead or becomes incapacitated and he is the nominee?

If either is assassinated?

What happens if the man selected as the nominee cannot be President? What is the methodology at this point?


January 6th files deleted.

The Republicans in Congress want Bennie Thompson to turn over the passwords for the deleted January 6th Files.
I don't think he will ever do that, because the January 6th committee promised the Information would be kelpt completely Confidential and not turned over to Insurrectionists in Congress.
They are just playing it into a Conspiracy theory which will fail.


How's Your Spam Recently?

I keep reasonably tight control of my Internet activities and really only get a little volume of spam (who knows what is filtered out upstream?).

I always read my email first as text and go to the HTML version when I think I know the sender. For the curious ones I'll read the message source for added edification and amusement.

The mist recent read:

Good afternoon!
I've enclosed the invoice for my journey costs during the business trip. Kindly take care of this for compensation following our travel guidelines.

Thanks.
It was sent from Stephen Buckley <jessie>@an apparently valid innocent domain. I note that poor Stephen has to use jessie's email.

There was no attachment but there was a link in the HTML to doubleclick.net with another domain embedded in the query parameters. That domain seems to be that of another innocent party. I guess if I had clicked through I would have gotten to a page asking me to submit a payment somehow.

The whole sad sorry state of things is documented here (worth a full read): Spam Statistics (2024): New Data on Junk Email, AI Scams & Phishing

162 billion spam emails are sent every day, with 49% of the 333 billion daily emails sent, considered spam (numbers recorded for 2022).
Is the Internet broken? Will spam ever be stopped/prevented?


[Split Thread] Presidential election 2024

Pretty clear now that Trump will beat Biden, the only way to stop Trump is to ban him from the ballot.




Welcome Back - Diphtheria Edition (and measles)

We nearly managed to eradicate this awful disease, but a few pockets in developing countries kept it alive and now it's making a comeback, with thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths. Even first world countries like UK are experiencing outbreaks not seen in 70 years. 1 2

The problem is the rise of vaccine hesitancy, spurred on by vaccine deniers, which is resulting in an explosion of measles cases in many countries as herd immunity is negated by the growing percentage of children who aren't fully vaccinated.

I've been saying for years that the antidote will be kids in iron lungs when polio strikes again, as it surely must.

I also think vaccine fatigue is a real thing and with covid vaccines every six months, people are giving up and we're going to see nasty outbreaks of all sorts of diseases that have been largely since the 1970s.

My car typically takes 10 kWh to charge.
I have 8 188W solar panels, which generate, on average, about 5 kWh per day.

Hence, it would take at least two full days to charge my car.

Note that a 10kWh battery is tiny compared to modern all electric vehicles.
Two full days of solar panel output gives me 45 km of range.

The current Nissan Leaf has a 40 kWh battery, hence eight days to charge from my current eight panels.

I think you can currently buy 300 W solar panels but you'd still need a lot more than one to charge an EV.


Ideally, you'd put something up like a hay shed (or carport) with a sloping roof to maximise your solar collection. I was lucky, my roof slope is within a degree of ideal for this latitude.

I recently purchased for a friend 24ea 430w panels at $175ea at SanTan Solar. They have great deals there all the time. They sell new and used panels. Right now you can buy a pallet of 25 435w Sun Power panels for $3,000.

Having a shed can be convenient, but you can also build a rack. that's what my friend did. Actually he built three all out of lumber from trees he cut down from his property. We even build a tilting mechanism so he could change the tilt angle a few times a year.
