Since when do the political leanings of DNS hosts matter? Most people don't even know what a DNS host is.

Fair, but no need to be a dick about it.

It is possible to recover data that has been overwritten, but the tools and technology required to do so aren't trivial. I'm not aware of what the average data analyst can do, so I honestly didn't know if this was part of their arsenal. A simple, "thats a bit overkill for the average person" would have worked, instead of trying to discredit me for trying to sound smart. This is shit the other side does, we're better than that.

Regardless, it is possible, but its probably technology that say the NSA is using, not the average firm.

I mentioned it because it is a viable method of data recovery and the reason why things like bleach bit are necessary.

A typical delete just de-allocates sectors like you said and the data is easily recovered. If you write all 0s or all 1s, you can use hysteresis to recover what the bit was previously. That's why programs like bleach bit write over multiple times, to try to cover up any history.

I'm not some random person, I'm an Electrical Engineer that studied this shit. I'm not a forensic analysis so I'm not familiar with what they can or can not do, but this is just pure physics. A hard drive is a magnet, and after applying charge to a magnet it can retain some of that memory through hystoresis.

An image can't copy magnetic hysteresis though, which is what I think OP is referring to.

In layman's terms, if you overwrite a hard drive's data in order to "erase" it, you can still measure traces of the old data. At the very least, you can show that the data was altered, but in some cases you can recover the old data.

Salt is the most important part. You can do whatever you want with seasonings, use none, or season after brining (no more salt though). But salt that shit to help it stay moist.

Also, a dry brine works well if you don't have a sterilized bathtub to stick your turkey in overnight.

I like wet brine better for poultry, but trying to bath an entire turkey in water sounds like a nightmare. Dry brine is basically as good as a wet brine and way less messy. Good call

I heard someone from Bedford County PA (heavy red) say that they were given sharpies to fill out their ballots.

Seems like this wasn't just Arizona.
