I'd never put any stock into Q, thought it to be wishful thinking and bedtime stories for the chans. It was always entirely harmless. Contrast that with pizzagate which was deeply fucking disturbing no matter how true or false, and really should not be followed by the faint of heart.
The media effort against Q, which should be as niche as Harry Potter fanfiction, is all by itself a validation of at least some of it. I don't know which parts, but to the media; thou dost protest too loudly.
The transfer media itself isn't as important as the anti-tamper mechanisms used. If Dominion used hardware-based key attestation to sign results files and the central system only accepted a single tabulation file with a valid signature from each known system with multi-party sign-offs on missing results, that's probably a security measure they'd be proud of and would advertise. It's not bulletproof alone by far, but would help raise the bar by a good measure.
Given they don't, it's probably a shitty .csv file that anybody with hands-on can edit. That's the kind of system the lowest bidder will build and can only be "disproven" with a full hand recount of paper ballots.
I say this as someone who spends way too much personal and professional time working with computers and finds them unendingly fascinating: electronic equipment more complicated than a printing calculator has no business in any election.
Chunk is doing us dirty by tweeting this as regular text. We need this in video form, dammit!
Computers, especially servers, often record a tremendous amount of data about actions performed that can be uncovered by digital forensics experts. It's not all-encompassing and the level of detail can be turned up and down, but the controls for exactly what is recorded when and where are not fully understood by most typical administrators.
As for what they may look for, database transaction logs, firewall logs, crash dumps, snapshots, and any scripts or custom binaries would be the primary targets. This information could reveal manual data manipulation outside of coded behavior, connection origins for where data came from and was sent to, and bugs or intentional malevolent code. Deeper forensics could reveal tremendous information about administrative actions performed going right back to when the system was originally set up.
There is an adversarial relationship with complexity though. Bigger environments are more likely to hold more logging data for longer, but forensic pieces will be more spread out as single actions can touch thousands of servers. What constitutes a "server" can get fuzzy as the layers of abstraction deepen through virtualization, containerization, and orchestration. Transient data that is useful for forensics can be rapidly overwritten and fully destroyed as physical servers are given more roles and shared between customers. The haystack can become very big, very fast while the needle stays exactly the same size. At the scale of Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, cooperation with the environment's operators becomes explicitly necessary to make meaningful discoveries.
TL;DR, we can't know in advance. There could be a smoking gun, there could be nothing but scrambled data, there could be data that leads us to look elsewhere but is useless alone, and so on. It's worse than a box of chocolates, because much of what could be found inside depends upon the skill of who is looking.
I don't post a lot, but hand out upvotes like Halloween candy and downvote rarely.
I owe you a few upvotes.
This is so distasteful.
still laughing tho 🤣
N95 + test fit + don/doff procedures + change out at the end of service life would be a minimum for a threshold of "has a reasonable chance at being effective". I'd still want to see tests and studies.
By the time we're at single-ply spandex masks, we may as well have mandated plaid golf pants instead. Would be just as effective, and slightly less silly.
This is the "made with real fruit" of ballot watching.
He can pick any specific number and be "fact checked" on it. It's message amplification. Trump plays the media like a fiddle, and they fall for it every single time.
I'm sure Adam will be fine. He was just cleared after a personal visit from the FBI earlier today!
I have no horse in this race. I haven't seen any of the Plandemic clips or have any past knowledge of either Sciencemag.org or Judy Mikovits.
The article reads like the author was REEEEEEing out after getting the metaphorical f-you email back from Judy. It's unprofessional as fuck, disorganized, and immature. They've discredited themselves.
At least they managed to keep their spelling and grammar in line. I swear I'm going to start flipping tables if the rate of incoherent sentences in professional publications gets any worse.

The human mind is an interesting place. Some think in less structured forms than plain English speech -- loose amalgams of logic, emotion, predictions, and memories. A place between languages where the train of thought carries concepts unwed to words.
Let me tell you, it can make talking a mentally taxing activity and lends one to introversion. It's also no excuse to not think and NPC your way through life, or to button up like you have no voice. Like a muscle, it gets stronger with exercise.
...and now you understand why nearly every major corporation supports far left propaganda.
So if transphobia is fear of transexuality, do we have a word coined to describe the fear for transexuals?
Because Jesus Christ, this is a fate worse than death.
Well, to be fair, they're not entirely unrelated.

C'mon, let's see of those push-ups.
It's true that what doesn't kill you doesn't necessarily make you stronger. Anywhere in the body the virus can go, it'll scrape away at any meat it can reach to replicate itself. Healing = scarring, and scar tissue isn't as high quality as the regularly grown stuff.
Aftereffects and complications from being hit with any malady are to be expected, but it's also not a binary state of affairs. One who barely scrapes through after a bout in the ICU will be worse off, long term, than one who gets a scratchy throat for a few days. All disease is a morbid game of probabilities.
I'm not saying it's time to go out and lick doorknobs because covid is now safer than ever, but unless trends change, things are looking on track for the disease to largely peter out to regular influenza levels in terms of individual impact. Obviously you don't want to catch either, but neither are worth destroying your nation and way of life over.
I've never made an account, but I sincerely doubt that means I don't have one. Despite its evil, one can't help but marvel at the breadth of the Facebook dragnet.
They have completely the wrong message. You want to beat whitey? Build a culture so deep and live lives so good that whitey can't help but be envious.
It's a free market. Compete.
Year-over-year deaths plotted over time is a more accurate way to view the impact. Ideally, subtracting all violent and accidental deaths as well. And yes, per thousand or 100K to make the numbers digestible.
Sadly, few places worldwide have such rich recordkeeping to compare against. Some reasonably unslanted compilations have been made as "excess mortality" (eg: The Economist's) which all place the USA as decidedly average among first world countries. Far ahead of the few poorer nations where a meaningful comparison was even possible. Were it not for the criminally mishandled response in New York, things would look quite impressive.
I think Trump would do well to bring up Operation Warp Speed in the covid line of questioning. Early successes in travel bans, PPE and respirator production are great, but the massive funding and incredible progress made in vaccine development help a lot with the "what have you done for me lately" crowd and prove that it's still being taken seriously. Hell, maybe he did and HBO cut it out just make time elsewhere to double-down on the smear factor instead. One doesn't need to like or even consider taking a vaccine to acknowledge that simply having one available is the ultimate end to this bullshit.

There is a curious bit of information that the statistics are showing which doesn't get talked about much either; the disease is getting less deadly. Lowering case fatality, lowering case hospitalization rates, and lower excess mortality despite steady sub-exponential spread. Haven't found anything concrete to explain that, just spitballing about masks vs viral load, warm weather and sunshine, multiple strains (<-bet), and so on. Yet another oddity to spit in the face of every prediction made thus far...
The degrees of separation between here and many powerful figures is astonishingly low.
Look at us. We're the lobbyists now.
We show that Joe isn't Joe any more.
The man has no force of cognition left. A vote for him isn't a rose-colored return to the Obama years, it's a vote for shadowy figures who would puppeteer the oval office while the man himself does little but shake hands and struggle at crossword puzzles. Worse than dumb, he's a yes-man.
He is told his policy positions, he is told what to say, and when they tell him to abdicate, he will do just that.
There is nothing that can show this more clearly than Joe just putting what's left of himself on display. They'll be hidin' Biden as much as humanly possible, but the debates will be where the buck stops.
Art of the deal, fren. Ask big, negotiate from there.
