Not who you're replying to but its very easy to wish death (or the sudden thanos-ing) of objectively evil people.

Don't believe Trump is objectively evil? Here's what the man stands for and its not even a comprehensive list.

Trump stole money from kids with cancer [1] [2] [3]. Trump wanted to kill people despite evidence they were innocent [4] [5] [6]. Trump raped his wife and E Jean Carroll [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]. Trump lied about not knowing E Jean Carroll yet confused her with his wife [9]. Trump sexually assaults women [13] [14] [15]. Trump walked in on half-naked underage children [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]. Trump was good friends with known rapist and child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] . Trump is a 34 time convicted felon [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35]. Trump sowed distrust by refusing to release his taxes like every other recent president has done since the 70's [36]. Trump betrayed the country when he subverted the 2020 election by falsely claiming victory [37], attempting to delay the certification process [38] and demanding Georgia officials to "find" votes for him [39]. Trump incited an insurrection in an attempt to stop the electoral vote count leaving five people dead [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45]. Trump appointed his unqualified family to top administration roles [46] [47]. Trump withheld aid to Ukraine unless they found dirt on Joe Biden and his son [48]. Trump was impeached for abusing his presidential power by using the office for personal political gain (pressuring Ukraine to dig dirt on the Biden's) to the detriment of national security [48]. Trump sided with racists by calling them "very fine people" [49]. Trump imposed a "Muslim travel ban" [50] [51] [52]. Trump lied about his inauguration crowd size [53] [54] [55]. Trump doubled fees at his resort hotel after becoming president to profit from the presidency [56]. Trump has no respect for veterans and disrespected prisoner of war John McCain [57] [58] [59]. Trump appointed Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon, to secretary of housing and development [60]. Trump spread misinformation by suggesting vaccines cause autism [61] [62]. Trump lied by falsely accusing Obama of spying on the Trump campaign [63]. Trump cut pandemic early warning program which likely made the pandemic worse when it broke out 3 months later [64] [65]. Trump cut corporate taxes to lowest rate since 1939, giving the mega rich a break while continuing to take from the poor - like a reverse robin hood! [66] [67]. Trump had protestors sprayed with tear gas so he could attend a photo op and take a picture with an upside down bible. [68].

hate and lies. trump summed up.

Signal, originally known as TextSecure, worked entirely over text messages when it first came out. It was borne from a different era and and securing communication data was the only immediate goal because at the time everything was basically viewable by anyone with enough admin rights on basically every platform. Signal helped popularize end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and dragged everyone else with them. Very few services at the time even advertised E2EE, private metadata or social graph privacy.

As they've improved the platform they continue to make incremental changes to enhance security. This is not a flaw, this is how progress is made.

I would recommend this product from Shelly https://www.shelly.com/en-us/products/shop/shelly-h-and-t-gen3-1

Doesn't no app or hub requried, works via wifi or bluetooth, has an e-ink display to conserve battery. I've had it since October and its been running without issue. Uses 4 AA batteries which I haven't changed at all and are still above 75%!

There's a newer generation (I have the previous one) so I can only imagine its even better.

anyone have a link to the data dump? I swear I saw one the other day but I was at work and couldn't remember where I saw it when I got home.

A hypothesis requires no evidence.

Correct

It’s then tested through repeatable controlled experiments

repeatable controlled experiments are only one aspect of evidence gathering to falsify a hypothesis. Here are a few other methods:

• Observational Astronomy
• Modeling and Simulations
• Indirect Experiments
• Lab Experiments
• Historical Data Analysis

By combining these methods we can still falsify a hypothesis, thus allowing "science to happen".

The events leading to the Big Bang have no evidence.

Correct! There is no evidence for what lead to the big bang because we can't gather any data before it started. But we have mountains of evidence that all point to a "big bang" happening - down to a fraction of a second shortly after it started! [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] .

If science can hypothesize, why can’t religion?

Science is willing to discard ideas that lack evidence or aren't falsifiable. Is religion ready to stop preaching because faith, by definition, is a lack of evidence?

Have you read string theory? It’s no different than Spinoza’s god.

The difference between string theory and Spinoza's god is the falsifiable part. String Theory, being a scientific theory, makes predictions that should be able to be tested through experiments (although testing will likely be a challenge much like Astrophysics and will instead depend on other scientific methods to gather evidence for/against it). Spinoza's God is a philosophical concept and not directly falsifiable through scientific methods. Spinoza's god is the equivalent of me claiming I'm friends with a telepathic unicorn from another dimension, both useless and irrelevant.

Are you familiar with Baruch Spinoza? His take is fascinating. His higher power did not concern itself with the fates of mankind, but is responsible for the lawful harmony of existence. It also does not discount or displace science in any way.

That's basic deism but I would disagree and say it does conflict with science. Science is evidence-based, if you claim something exists you must present evidence to support it. I can't just claim there's a 5-ton diamond in my backyard and say "trust me bro". Nobody would believe me, so why should anyone believe in any god without evidence?

The last time Democrats controlled the House and Senate for more than a single term was with Jimmy Carter, 1977-1981 [0]. It's hard to make progress when Republicans are willing to shut the government down to prove how bad the government is. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Biden's performance was lacking but more coherent than Trump regurgitating 4 year old rally news every second he got.
