You’re right of course it’s racism, he knows his audience. But his schoolyard bully tactics always make fun of the unfamiliar, perhaps you mean Anglo sounding?
Because I’m pretty sure he would make fun of his own family name (Drumpf) if it belonged to an opponent. And I can’t imagine it would be any better if they were named Nieminen (Finish) or Svobodova (Czech) or Nikolakopoulos (Greek) etc. Same with first names.
Mate I don’t doubt it but skip the media and pull out direct trump quotes for them.
He hasn’t seen a dictator or a white supremacist he doesn’t like.
You can pull a million quotes of him being an absolute asshole lunatic.
Are they not listening to the words he’s saying?
At what point do you say you are actually attracted to authoritarianism because you’re supporting the party that’s promises you that that’s what they will do.
How could the answer be yes when they’re supporting a person that deliberately incited political violence on Jan 6? And celebrated violence when it happened against political opponents or adjacents?
The vast majority of the benefit comes from the fact that they are bifacial not vertical.
In fact depending on the weather a standard mount but with bifacial panels will outperform the vertical.
This guy here does a very thorough comparison.
This is the classic pincer manoeuvre of the right and mainstream media: the left wing candidate is always both too left and not left enough at the same time.
And they reinforce it with shitty opinion pieces of “all sides”. Anything to minimise left wing gains and keep the ratchet going.
They’ll swallow the party line and that’s all there is to it.
TBF McCain was spot on on Putin in a way that Obama was not.
The more likely scenario after the takeover is animal farm, not utopia.
I can’t imagine any system of influence running an exposed ssh without some further protection from connection abuse like fail2ban.
The Indonesian President - if I’m not mistaken.
A bit clickbaity…
configured it to be fully exposed with no firewall and no anti-virus software
And I’m also assuming this was then exposed directly to the internet like a server, not behind a NAT or anything like that.
I mean you’re setting up a 20 yo unpatched consumer lever OS to fail for the giggles and you kneecap it on top of it - which is fine, but hardly surprising.
Just teach the dangers of authoritarianism in general - but you see that would paint too close an image of the current republican party.
The decision to buy is made by numbers before the purchase: returning visitors, time spent etc. “look at how many hours of eyeballs we’re buying”
The decision to kill the porn is made by social pressure after the purchase: “hey we’ve noticed that in your stable if brands you have some questionable materials. We can’t be associated with that kind of filth, you’re damaging our brand.” - cc processors, advertisers etc. “my wife went on that platform we just bought and you won’t believe what she found” - half the members of the board.
Most boards are collectively moronic - rarely do you have competent people that can hold serious tense discussion and can reach conclusions without either descending into massive infighting or just coast along the dominant political players.
Considering a 50% divorce rate and an unknown % of people remaining because they feel stuck, (i’d guestimate another 25% at least) the modern, societal imposition of a happy lifelong partnership feels like a manufactured ideal to prop up the marriage industry.
“What you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons” was not far off the mark for a tv show.
Is that a magic wand? Is that fluid what I think it is?
Everything about GS watches is impressive, and everything you said is absolutely factual.
Watches at that level of pricing are status symbols, if the brand cache diminishes instead of enhances the status that’s not a good thing.
You spend $5-15k on a jewellery / time piece you are not doing it to tell the time - if the circle you want to impress is not instantly impressed “wow what a cool watch, oh it’s just a Seiko?”, you get into a discussion about the merits of craftsmanship you would never get into with a Rolex or even a Nomos or other lesser known brands.
I think something similar to what Casio has done with their Oceanus line (though even Casio should drop the Casio logo completely from that brand - Toyota/Lexus comes to mind) might be the way to go here.
As it is Seiko is fighting against itself - though, on the other hand that’s great for watch nerds like us as it puts a natural cap at what the market will bear in terms of price and they need to keep on impressing the fan base with better and more innovative techniques.
Good to see some content, and thanks for the heads up.
Interesting. Seiko wants but will the market follow?
I guess we’ll see how much the increase is.
Over the past 2-3 years I found GS watches have gone from good value to just fair.
And I’m not sure they have the brand differentiation from plain Seiko, outside watch nerds, to carry it.
I’m surprised no one mentioned Lazlo yet.
The problem with every terminator after 2 is that they went from “no fate but what we make” to determinism.
