I've been doing "fascinating" IT presentations for decades. You are the exception, not the rule. One of the hardest lessons to learn for presenting is knowing your audience. This was hyped up so much as being a presentation of irrefutable evidence. But this information was delivered in such a way as to only add to people's incredulity.

To put it another way, for most people this was like watching two space aliens discussing astrophysics using a whiteboard for the hours. Sure, watching them might be fascinating to a few people, but no one is digesting the content of what they're saying except other space alien astrophysicists.

The reason they did this is to reinforce their narrative that the voter base, generally, is shifting left. It provides cover for the cheating they did in the swing states.

Here's the problem, though. Those of us who have IT careers or backgrounds are able to understand what's going on without much hand-holding. But for the vast majority of the population, this is completely foreign. It is impossible for them to digest the information in any meaningful way.

The whole presentation should not have been featured in the symposium. They, at the very least, should have had it going on in a side-channel with other discussions going on being the feature. They could check in at intervals for updates.

This really just caused a lot of people's eyes to gloss over and tune out. This isn't me shitting on the effort. This is me saying that when you're presenting information of any kind, you need to understand your target audience. This thing was supposed to wake up all the normies, but they are not going to be moved by this presentation. They are going to tune out and because they didn't understand the information being shown, they will assume no information was presented.

I've got a nearly 20 year career in IT. I've been an admin, an engineer, an architect, and so on. I was just shaking my head through all of that. While eventually they stumbled upon something useful, they had no idea what they were actually looking at/for.

They should have immediately done a diff between the images to get a catalog of the things that were changed by the Dominion employee. Then go over those changes to see if anything is interesting. NEXT, start looking through the logs.

There was definitely something to the POST requests to the SOAP endpoint. SOAP is an older API standard that used XML for payloads (it was a huge pain in the ass to work with, BTW). That's been replaced by much less verbose standards like REST and JSON.

But those POST requests were active communication with the system. The logs didn't look like they contained much, if any, of the payload information. But you could dissect those SOAP services to find out what they do and what they're capable of.

FUCK this pissed me off. It looked so incompetent.

Stick to lower Manhattan and cab it when possible. Don't go to the Bronx or Queens. Brooklyn should be okay also but few tourists there so gets sketchy. The locals will fuck with you if they can tell you're lost/nervous. Really in NYC, just stick to yourself and mind your own business and you're generally fine. The shit doesn't usually go down in lower Manhattan because there's a higher police presence there for the tourists; even at night.

There needs to be space. With the school year starting on Monday, there is pretty much nowhere to send my kids. I still need to discuss this all with my wife... Though she's intentionally politically ignorant and buys into most of the propaganda.

The Broward school board is notoriously corrupt; just like much of the county. They operate only for the teachers' unions, not for the parents. They don't give a shit about us. They have corrupt local elections to remain in power. The only time they ever go away is when they're indicted for corruption... And no, that's not hyperbole, that's actually what happens here.

I was thinking about standing outside of my son's school with a sign reading "Masks should be voluntary. Only peaceful defiance can stop this."

This really pisses me off. I don't want my kids wearing a mask all day. I want to file suit against Broward County Public Schools. I'm sure I could get other parents to join. I just don't know where to start or raise the money for it.

Given the track record of "happenings" on the whole, it really isn't a bad position to take.

Stop all donations and financial support for the parish. He's so confident that there are plenty of other people willing fill the void, let him count on them. Fuck this sanctimonious cocksucker.

Biden trying to her control of the Pentagon because time is running out?

Idk. That'd be my "schizo" answer.

They spent months saying Trump had nothing to do with the vaccine. Now they are seeding the message that it's the Trump vaccine so when they announce it doesn't work, they can blame him.

Bongino is 30 years younger and has special forces training... Geraldo is pushing 80. It would end very badly for him.

I watched this show. The jokes are pretty raunchy and crass (I enjoyed it; my wife was annoyed). It's good enough to pass the time, imo.

YES!! It seems like an order of magnitude more flies lately. So many that when they swarm my dogs' waste, you can actually hear them from a good 15 feet away.

They don't think that it doesn't matter. They think matters above almost everything else.

The US House Sergeant-at-Arms has absolutely zero part in any of this. Just delete this post.

He probably didn't get the jab. Probably a saline placebo.
