Yeah I know and I agree with that you say. My conflict is with the FAFO part of my brain. I'm not proud of it. Knowing and admitting is half the battle.

But come one, you have to taste at least a little bit of the irony; no? ;-)

I hear ya. But Vance is ineffective with no real charm. He won't be able to rally the rubes like Trump does. I also don't think Vance is nearly as slimy as Trump. But that isn't credit to Vance, it's an indictment of Trump. HE is still worse than we can possibly imagine. Vance really did at least grow up poor and then serve in the military and THEN shit all over them; but he knows. Trump has no idea and more ego and delusions of superiority than imaginable.

I could be wrong, reasonable people can disagree. Love and respect!

One can't find the button to push. The other pushes every single fucking button they can find.

Yeah my atheist brain is about to explode here with so many competing thoughts.

Exactly. His crowds weren't small, they just couldn't see him.

You must not be paying attention to the reports out of Ukraine and how both sides are resorting to fiber feeds to avoid all the jamming. It isn't really even a new concept as it existed way back in the Vietnam War days on the TOW missile; albeit it using wire not fiber optics. Oh yeah and the TOW is currently in use in the Ukraine war right now apparently if you believe wikipedia; but I can't back that one up myself.

ETA: actually there's this https://web.archive.org/web/20230331103558/https://twitter.com/UAWeapons/status/1637833178579607552 but seems to be the non-wire guided model. Go figure ;-)

Allow me to make a modest proposal...

It is a non-zero number, you can be sure of that.

No, we made the mistake of doing everything thing we could to make them get vaccinated.

Next time we know better.
