a canvasser for the GOP, a chicana woman, just knocked on my door asking me if i would vote for cory gardner.

"why would i want to do that?" i asked

"his economic policies and energy policies" was basically her answer.

"does cory gardner base his energy policies in science?" i asked

"what do you mean?"

"for example, he voted against an amendment that stated that human activities are contributing to climate change earlier this year. do you believe that human activities are contributing to climate change?"

"well, the climate is always changing..."

"i'm aware of this. do you and cory gardner have some secret information that you haven't shared with 34 national academies of science though?"

"well..."

"not only that, but he has already signed a koch brothers pledge on the issue while denying the plain facts and science. he's just a stooge for the koch brothers"

"well the koch brothers have supported democratic AND libertarian causes though!"

"yeah, and their daddy helped found the john birch society. you familiar with them?"

"no"

"then you're probably not familiar with their whole theory that fluoride is a communist plot"

*befuddled look on her face*

"don't take my word for it, go look them up on that phone you're carrying. they also opposed the civil rights act of 1964. they're radical right wing racists, and they probably didn't want your parents to even come here. good luck on your canvassing."

i went back upstairs and checked out the window, and she was already on her phone looking something up.

hope she ends up throwing those flyers in the trash and finding a real job.

Why is that Norwegian director who made the fake video of Syrian war kids, which exposed how useless the MSM is at investigative journalism, getting so much flak from the industry?
I hope he sticks to his guns, and makes more fake vids, to keep exposing how inept the "journalism" industry truly is in this day.
But what is the problem, exactly? The MSM does not know how to ask the right questions.

I am so happy to find another soul that realizes the MSM is full of shit, and mainly it is advertising to get people to believe what they are selling that day. What do they sell? Lots of things, Why we need war, how great genetically modified foods are, the terrorism boogeyman to justify the evisceration of the Bill of Rights, why we need to all be spied on, the list goes on and on. It's quite purvese, normalizing the murder of people by drone for example.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Flouride is a neurotoxin if consumed, according to the LANCET medical journal.

Here's a little weirdness for an evening's pondering:

I'm doing some research on noise management in satellite communications (thrilling, right?), reading a website for some general background, etc.
but I get to the end, and click on a link to find out more regarding "the mysteries of LNB" (amplifiers on dishes).

And here's what I get at the website it links to,

403 Error

What are trying to do? Actually design your own; or use a "off the shelf" part in a non-standard application other than the one intented?

When you say noise management, do you mean as in the converter hardware i.e., gain line up or down stream post processing?

If your cobbling together something unique, what are you using for a LO system?

No...I was just trying to figure out the solution to a problem on satellite communications and thermal noise accounting.
For purely theoretical amusement purposes only.

Oh I have my "spoofer" if needed (there are free ones available). I just thought the message which popped up was funny, and on a webpage one would otherwise consider insignificant to boot!
