They'd have trouble if the 'fist' is sloppy enough. Swing it

It's gonna take them a long time to make everyone as dumb as they are.

Encryption wasn't ever legal for most hams. But, then, who can copy 30wpm Morse these days?

Go full zombie (with the help of Fox 'News').

Then put all of their assets into Trump coins.

OTOH (I was just reading the other day), cats can't even see red (looks grey to them) ... only green and blue. Looks as though higher-freq visible light worked just fine for Feliformia. The organs/antennae needed to send and/or receive RF would be highly ungainly for speedy smaller predatory mammals.

Who knows - maybe some of the dinosaurs -did- use RF?! High EMF from solar CME's might have burned out their receptors.

No aliens smart enough to conquer the limitations of light-speed will have any way to understand the concept of war. It's that stupid.

  1. Your phone is the least private device you own. Every app you add makes it worse.
  2. Don't use that bank plastic any more than you have to. Cash has built-in privacy. And -never- let it out of your hands.
  3. Unless it's legally required, -never- write or 'give' 'your' SS number.
  4. None of these numbers we just have to remember are 'ours'. Do cows own 'their' ear-tags? They just oil the machinery.
  5. Before you get rid of that hard drive, open it up and rip out the internal wiring. Then drive a couple of nails through the platters.

Tried kdenlive yet?

RF is pretty low on the EM totem pole when it comes to energy. There's plenty of IR to use, which is just above RF... and it's available 24/7.

Yeah, I'm not paying a whole lot of credence to the cosmology department these days, they're too busy using Elmer's Glue to keep their whole story from falling apart.

I'm not so sure about the whole 'photon' thing anymore either ... an individual, no-mass, single-point thing that can survive travelling through that universe out there for -billions of years- ? The math works, but does the model, really?

Right on about the life thing too.

 

Epilogue: After that film was finished, the team went on to drill the deepest ice core ever drilled in the Americas

“I always like to think that for many technological achievements that benefit humans,” Dawson says, “some organism somewhere has already developed it through some evolutionary process.”

 

Twenty years later, Edison would be selling (his lowest cost) cylinder phonographs for US $20. At the time, East coast pro carpenters were making about $2.50 a day.

 

Not -quite- as risky as Russian physicist Anatoli Bugorski who put his head into a high-energy proton beam in 1978.

 

The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution states: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

Unconstitutional actions ordered by the POTUS. Are we ready to impeach yet?

 

"Earlier this month, the official government websites ... went dark.... At the time, the White House said NASA would house the reports...

Now? "no data from the assessment or the government science office that coordinated the work will be on NASA."

Since a 1990 law requires the reports, they'll need a home.

 

Still amazing after 18 years ... (this is only part of it)

 

The comet's hyperbolic orbit will bring it just inside the orbit of Mars at perihelion, later this October. On the other side of the Sun, unfortunately. Fortunately, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter may be watching it.

It's thought that the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory will be spotting lots more of these puppies.

 

On average, solar supplied 22 percent across the EU.

It supplied more than 40 percent in the Netherlands and 35 percent in Greece.

 

Submerged in about 40 meters (44 yards) of water off Scotland’s coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years....

The MeyGen tidal energy project off the coast of Scotland has four turbines producing 1.5 megawatts each, enough electricity collectively to power up to 7,000 homes annually.
