It's a huge money-making scam for everyone. Even Trump's fund for 'fighting the steal' largely went to a general fund with no specific commitment as to use.

That's great news! Regarding your clarification - are you saying ONLY hand-tools are US made? What about their power tools?

Just did a bit of googling ... saw this https://www.finder.com/made-in-usa-tools#top-4-power-tool-brands-made-in-the-usa Says DeWalt, Stanley/Black+Decker, and others are made in US.

There's no way everyone will have had the opportunity to get vaccinated by April, so I doubt very much the issue of 'vaccine passport' will be relevant then. You will undoubtedly have to wear a mask on the flight, though; I presume you are OK with that. Buy a ticket with a good refund element and you should be fine.

Amazon Web Services. This is the division of Amazon that provides hosted servers to BIG operators like Netflix, US government, etc, and also provided services to Parler until they took it down recently. AWS is the cadillac/deluxe provider of such services. Others in the space are Microsoft Azure, and something from Google.

It would mean no more iPhones, no more tools from Home Depot, no more laptops, no more ... lots of things! Have you ever paid attention to just how much stuff is made in China?

Just curious - why don't I see more calls to boycott Chinese products? We could kill China's economy if we stopped buying Chinese goods.

claim a conviction means the person can never hold public office again.

Just to clarify, the action to prevent him from holding office again is a separate process, not part of the impeachment. And while the impeachment requires 2/3 majority, the action to prevent holding of further office is a simple 50/50 vote.

Most ISPs will advertise 'unlimited' but in the small print, refer to limits and throttles. My isp has tools I can use to view my usage. (basically, just log into my ISP account page). If you are reaching any limit, that may explain it. As a somewhat related aside, why the hell does every 'citizen journalist' on the internet have to use videos to explain things!? I hate Videos because I work with people around me, and/or I'm browsing at home while others are watching TV or talking ... more anti-social to play videos than read. Also, if you want to discuss a section, you can't just copy/paste a paragraph, you have to TRASCRIBE the piece in question, or refer to timestamps. It's so much harder to challenge or discuss anything in a vid. It never occurred to me that bandwidth limits was another issue! EDIT TO ADD - and of course, the contents of a video can't be searched like a text page can.

I think a LOT of people just aren't aware of this feature! Either that or, they just don't ever proof read anything! I work exclusively on my laptop; is the same feature available on a phone ?

  1. I have some empathy for the cashiers who are compelled to wear the mask, and I feel like if they have to wear it I should too.

That is most admirable! I do feel sorry for anyone in the retail trade right now.

There is an 'edit' feature.

Edit to Add: :) - yes, so why ARE there so many 'George' threads?!

Right. He's a business man. Why do we have to see people as either/or? People like Musk are simply driven to solve challenges. Of course they are going to do 'underhand shit' along the way, in the spirit of beating the competition / getting ahead, but that doesn't equate to being a satan-worshipping monster. I don't see why people have to be so binary.

Exactly! I suppose there are those that think Trump is still in the White House, not Mar-a-Lago, so they have to believe this. That Trump is in Mar-A-Lago is certain, and thus, the WH is 'available', and it makes zero sense to even THINK about faking it out. Same goes for the Inauguration; it would have been a massive undertaking to fake it, and a piece of cake to let it actually happen outside the Capitol. What's that expression about 'sometimes the obvious answer is the right one?'

Exactly. I remember at one point, people freaking out that the local UI password was revealed. Being able to 'log in' to a 'walk up kiosk-style' machine means nothing (they are logged in / unlocked by default). Having a 'user' account, means nothing; you need an admin-level account, which is a whole 'nother ballgame!

Well, duh, of course you are right! MAC addresses don't route! So what IS this list?!

Also - for grins, I plugged my OWN list of MAC addresses from my laptop. I happen to have a boatload of virtual adapters for various reasons (I have VM's on my laptop) as well as typical 'corporate' VPN clients (Sophos, Fortinet, etc).

The Fortinet VPN showed up, but the Sophos VPN did not. None of the virtual device MACs showed up.

So the lack of a 'hit' on MACs is not exactly something I'd read too much into.

FYI, I have over 20 'adapters' on my laptop (ipconfig /all). Part of the reason is I installed Microsoft's sandbox app, which creates a virtual adapter for every 'real' adapter, but does this even when the 'real' adapter itself is a non-physical device. So out of the 20 adapters, only 3 have hits on the MAC db from Wireshark.

The biggest surprise is that the sophos virtual adapter is not showing up, while the Fortinet virtual adapter does.

Exactly. It's the most damning evidence ever about HRC and Huma, but yet ... no one has ever seen it. Oh, well, of course 'he saw it' and 'she saw it' ... but yet, not one link.

And are they really all not tied to any manufacturer? I often research MAC addresses when scanning 'whats on my network' (at work) and find 'unknown' Macs. Typically, I figure out who/what it is by other means, and it's a mainstream device that just didn't show up in the online mac db's. Some of these online databases are not that great. Also, you'll see dell computers using all manner of Macs, depending on who sourced the chips that month/year. I'd say it's a futile effort implying anything from the Macs.

I agree. There's a lot of loose, ambiguous terminology out there, some with historic origins that no longer apply or are relevant.

"on the internet" - these days, 'everything' is available on the 'internet', including 'broadcast TV', through packages like YouTube or HULU. My local 'ABC-7' 'TV' news channel has their own website where I can stream their live broadcasts, and read their stories more like a newspaper. Perhaps we say, 'exclusive to the internet' - that would allow for (eg) bitchute, but even that gets less clear when you think of YouTubeTV, which is now offering a package including live TV.

And what is a 'network' these days? It's an affiliation of local 'broadcast' stations, that features a news program combining some national elements with local elements.

"Cable News" is now available on corporate websites (cnn.com, foxnews.com, etc) but a lot of people still call it 'cable news' because at one point in time, that really meant, a channel exclusive to cable services.

And then you have people who produce their own news, which may be carried by YT or Bitchute, or just carried on its own website, but they've got a big enough 'brand' to be able to claim to be a 'channel'.

Anyway - my point is, it's hard to know where people are getting their information from these days. Obviously people on GAW are getting it from 'exclusive to the internet' sources, but when a person casually says, 'I get my news from the internet', it's not clear where that is.

Win95 - wow! I guess that's before windows 2000, which was quite the milestone!

I still see a lot of Windows XP screens, especially at airports; revealed when they have an error and the error message has the give-away XP 'style'.

So if ATMs are running an ultra-vulnerable OS, and have to be networked for balance-check and 'card-validity' checks. and are literally loaded with money ready to give away, why aren't they hacked if Dominion voting machines are so 'obviously' vulnerable? This is just my own personal 'reality check'.
