@SeaRay215ex They're actually quite selective, they won't believe the CDC because they're "The Government" yet they take whatever Trump says as gospel.
Everyone want's effective government, but they're all for Jack-Booted thugs wearing uniforms gassing us and making life hard on minorities and protestors where we're for regulations to protect us.
They accuse us of wanting big government while they want to regulate what women can do with their bodies.
I like our big government one hell of a lot better than their big government.

I believe this is all projection, if Trump says you stole something it's because he stole something.
Trump is accused of having sex with a 13 year old girl that was working for Jeffery Epstein.
That's why we have Qanaon, if Trump claims someone did it, it's ALWAYS something he has done himself.

@Petter, @Omnedon I'm unaware of a software language I haven't had to at least debug in.
For example lets talk "basic" since most people know about it. There's Visual Basic, there's VB.Net, there's Allen-Bradly's basic (only has one sting $ that has to be dimensioned as an array.) SquareD basic (they're out of business I think but there's legacy equipment still using it). I also used old IBM Basica back in the day but that was well over 30 years ago.
We use many ladder logic languages, each being proprietary to the hardware manufacturer.
There's JavaScript, C++, C#, HTML5, CSS, and the entire family of ODBC types for databases.
I'm trying to standardize our entire company engineering on JavaScript. Which is what drives Node-Red which runs as a container in a Node.js.
Then there's communications and networking.
Almost every piece of gear has at least some proprietary scripting. Most communicate using Modbus/TCPIP. But when distance is a factor we frequently use RS-485 because it can run 6,000 feet where ethernet is only good to 285 feet. In places like Atlanta airport we install fiber optic cable which is good to 15 miles, but doesn't require specific protocols to use. We use a high electrical noise tolerant network called CAN in our power converters (airport 480vac 60 hertz converted to aircraft 115vac 400 hertz), and to communicate to the computer systems from CAN we use CANOpen which is an entirely different protocol from CAN, much like Java has nothing at all to do with JavaScript.
Most people that do what I do get their bachelors degree in either electrical or mechanical engineering then it's all OJT from there on. As always I'm the oddball I got my degree in Computer Science then went OJT. I visited my old campus in Auburn in 2002 after my father died. Their computer science department has changed so much, I can say with certainty that no education has a shorter shelf life than computer science. No one else seems to know how to write an operating system for an IBM system 3 anymore except me. They don't even have an old DEC PDP-11 anymore and I was educated before IBM AS-400 were being built and I think they're not even manufactured anymore. So it's a lot of work just to keep up. :)

His book is the opinion of the authors as opposed to a scientifically sound hypothesis subject to peer review. Just go through the first few pages and you can read the underlying agenda of conspiracy theories, of which seems to be most mainstream scientists verses us those who think outside the box. Then it proceeds to cherry pick scientific facts from physics history to prove their point (their opinion). If you are attracted to pseudo scientific speculation with no scientific basis and conspiracy theories, this is your book.

@yvilletom I couldn't care less if you believe me, I don't believe you have anything at all to do with physics. You have the cosmic background radiation the Hubble red shift and gravitational lensing to explain. I can site ALL my sources, all you can do is call me a liar.
Don't try to fool us, people like me will call you on your shit.
BTW: www.newtoeu.com is a shit website.
His book is the opinion of the authors as opposed to a scientifically sound hypothesis subject to peer review. Just go through the first few pages and you can read the underlying agenda of conspiracy theories, of which seems to be most mainstream scientists verses us those who think outside the box. Then it proceeds to cherry pick scientific facts from physics history to prove their point (their opinion). If you are attracted to pseudo scientific speculation with no scientific basis and conspiracy theories, this is your book.

Take a person with insecurity, give them a little authority and yes they may be corrupted.

As for Jesus, I always embraced the "humanistic" teachings his fiction attributes to him, which according to most conservatives, including the ones that claim to follow Jesus, makes us look weak.

It depends on the person.
Consider Jimmy Carter verses Donald Trump.
When you consider your position as an opportunity to provide service you're not as prone to this primarily male tendency.
Other people use privilege in pursuit of a "higher goal" a good example would be Wernher von Braun who ignored the suffering of Jewish slaves in pursuit of rocketry, but not to increase his personal power unless the power would help leverage society toward his objective.

The Romans asked which days.
Tuesday, named for Tiw
Wednesday, named for Woden
Thursday, anmed for Thor
and Friday named for Freya
Then the deal was done.

@LenHazell53 I encounter a bunch of people that are well informed about things they're interested in, or that are relevant in their life. That I know stuff they don't know is no indication that I'm smarter or better informed generally only on specific topics. At one time I looked down on the High School jocks thinking I was so superior due to my love of math and science which they seemed to know nothing about. Then one day I listened to one of those dumb MFers quote off an impressive list of sports statistics. Any assumption that my intelligence is better is hubris. It's all about the focus, and most people aren't focused on what I'm focused on. It's easy to fall into hubris unless inoculated by a study of humans that proves once and for all the range of human intelligence is both narrow and high for all people, even the ones that stubbornly hang on to stupid ass ideas.

That's a statement most frequently quoted by people that think they're so much smarter than the rest of the population. Mencken was a satirist like Clemens (Mark Twain) so the comment had a hyperbolic aspect that indicates to me it's not meant to be considered an absolute. Mencken was frequently ...
Willow_Wisp replies on Oct 12, 2020:
@LenHazell53 I encounter a bunch of people that are well informed about things they're interested in, or that are relevant in their life. That I know stuff they don't know is no indication that I'm smarter or better informed generally only on specific topics. At one time I looked down on the High School jocks thinking I was so superior due to my love of math and science which they seemed to know nothing about. Then one day I listened to one of those dumb MFers quote off an impressive list of sports statistics. Any assumption that my intelligence is better is hubris. It's all about the focus, and most people aren't focused on what I'm focused on. It's easy to fall into hubris unless inoculated by a study of humans that proves once and for all the range of human intelligence is both narrow and high for all people, even the ones that stubbornly hang on to stupid ass ideas.

@LenHazell53 I'm contending that everyone thinks they're the ones in that group and only a rare few are right. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck but even I know I'm not one of them.

Why I see Evangelical Christianity and the Republican Party as the same thing, synonymous even.

Did Jesus play basketball?

He’ll pardon his kids and he’ll try to pardon himself.
I’m not a big “There ought to be a law against that” but in this case I make an exception, because there isn’t a law.

@Paul4747 Wrong, Richard Nixon hadn’t been charged yet when he was pardoned by Ford. I was there.

This is why I say we must try to reach them on their ground, not ours (as they won't put a toe in ours), or we will not change a single mind. Jesus is the answer. God is yesterday's religion and a Jewish one. Jesus redeems us from the bloodthirsty laws of His father, or Self, or Spirit (or ...

This tells us nothing about you other than pointing out the fact that you hide behind Christianity.
Is a real Christian liberal?
Is a real Christian conservative?
Is a real Christian gay or straight?
The answers vary depending on the Christian.
In short Christianity means nothing unless closely associated with a culture, and in the US that culture is based on the Confederacy.
That makes your position inexcusable.

@Flowerwall They're on Facebook, I'll NEVER see them if they aren't on a government site because Facebook is a trap. I would have deleted my account back when Cambridge Analytica took ALL our information, but there was no point since they already have my information, but I haven't been back since unless I carelessly click on a link that someone put up and when that happens I immediately leave.
I'm saying that everyone that uses Facebook is being mentally and emotionally manipulated to act against their best interest.
I boycott Facebook.
Every rational person should.

Willow_Wisp replies on Oct 9, 2020:
They're certainly too small to be seen from even passenger jet windows, much less from space.
Perhaps if they had helicopters it could be assumed to be a landing strip, but that's a stretch.
all you have to do is drag your foot across the ground there to reveal very light colored dirt that stands out in contrast to the dark top dirt.
Naturally humans would use it as a canvas to paint pictures, it's one of the things our species is known for.

rainmanjr comments on Oct 9, 2020:
Liberals had better lay down the anti-religious argument and merely address the Catholic/Evan Christian idea that we are in a battle much like Ai (Numbers 31). There are many similarities, especially if the religious community sees DJT as a modern Joshua.

Which is what peaceful protest for BLM and women and LGBT+ rights etc.
