Okay, I'm glad you said you saw reports about that too. It's where my conspiracy theory started, but then there hasn't been anything since so I genuinely gas lighted myself.

Hell it could be that there wasn't anything there to report on, but it did disappear quickly and quietly.

His way of making the government efficient will be to just have no bid contracts go to all of his businesses.

I believe that tedd cruz along with mitch mconnell and lindsey graham all cheated in their last win. All three were in what look like tight races but all three ended up winning by big-ish margins given the polling. I have no evidence other than a feeling but I just can't shake that feeling is somehow not completely wrong.

If any of my completely unfounded conspiracy is right then Allred ain't going to win .

I really think most 'journalist' are "news influencers"

Because that is what churches are supposed to do - promote politicians 🙄

These scams are effective because of a thing called Amygdala hijack which

"is an emotional response that is immediate, overwhelming, and out of measure with the actual stimulus because it has triggered a much more significant emotional threat."

You can get any human to do dumb things if you can by-pass their logical brain and have them work off the lizard brain.

I can see a future where the Internet is completely run by bots and AI to the point where no human actually uses the Internet anymore.

It's like an island that gets overrun with rats - there are just too many to deal with so you leave.

I think Jake Tapper and many others shouldn't be called a journalist but a "News Influencer"

my feeling is, is if you are going to be selling a product and you use certain words or phrases like "scientifically proven" or "research shows..." that you need to reference your claim.

It sets both the technical requirements and recommended best practices for determining the validity of methods used to authenticate digital identities online. Organizations that interact with the federal government online are required to be in compliance

My argument is that if this document (and others) are requirements for companies shouldn't there also be a more approachable document for people to use?

Sure, have the jargon filled document that those in the know can access, but without an additional not so jargon-y document you've just added a barrier to change. Maybe just an abstract of the rule changes on the front page without the jargon?

I don't know, maybe it's not a big deal to compliance officers but just seems to me (someone that isn't a compliance officer) that obfuscating the required changes behind jargon and acronyms is going to slow adoption of the changes.

 

Covering large parking lots with solar panels is an idea that goes back decades but in America at least it's an idea that has never really taken off.

What is the reason for that? Is it due to the overall cost or is there something else that keeps Walmart, Target, Costco, Sams Club, Malls, etc. from covering their parking lots with these panels and selling the power?

 

What's your go to for music while you workout?

 

This question has been around for a while but I'm curious as to your answer

 

Sometimes you just want to brag about something you excel at but never get the chance or you're just to modest. Now is your chance to tell a bunch of internet strangers about your amazing talent.

Native Lands (native-land.ca)
 

Native Land is an app to help map Indigenous territories, treaties, and languages.

 

When I tell people I've never seen the Lion King they are really baffled by that.

 

I see a lot of posts for apps that I would like to try but they all send me to a Github link - What is the process for getting an executable of these apps? Do I have to compile them myself? OR am I missing the .exe or .zip file option?

I really feel like I'm missing something easy..
