he was an active member of a community that in turn actively encourages folks like him to come to their side. You know this. You're trying to shift the narrative. I don't think anyone's gonna fall for it though. At least not anyone who doesn't _want_ to fall for it.

This is disengenuous AF. They actively encourage everybody to join their service. Is there something wrong with your brain?
You (and OP) make it sound like Gab is a "conservative" forum. It isn't. It's about free speech for everybody, not just a few.
If I were you, I'd consider a Samsung (unless you do just want to get a waterproof bag).
Huawei products have been caught actively spying on Americans and calling home via their products.
As a result, our military will not use Huawei products at all and Huawei was banned from investing in / building 5G infrastructure in the United States and other countries, and the US is trying to get Canada to change its mind about allowing them up there.
Some ZTE products were also found to be doing this. As a result, I replaced my ZTE and I won't buy them or Huawei anymore.
Nah. I had a personal cell phone in 1997. It was affordable.
It wasn't a smartphone. And it didn't do text.
And it was almost as big as a frigging brick, and the huge battery only lasted (on standby) about 6 hours. So if you wanted to use it all business day you needed an extra battery.
But only 2 years later I got a StarTac, which was tiny, and with the optional larger battery (still tiny) lasted more than a day. And the plan was still affordable.
Slight correction: the 3 Mile Island incident was a case of operating out of spec guidelines, but that's because a problem wasn't recognized by the crew as what it actually was.
Due to inadequate training.
The point is: in every case of nuclear accident on this scale, it was invariably due to human error.
Every damned time.
Newer designs, with redundant systems that eliminate such errors, are nothing like those old piles of crap.
All old plants, old designs, and in every case used outside of spec guidelines.
Fukushima's biggest problem, for example, was that they stored 20 years of spent fuel rods in a "temporary" holding area that was only designed to hold a few month's worth.
Thorium is plentiful, has been used for decades, and with newer designs is impossible to melt down.
It also has the advantage that it produces far less waste, with greatly reduced half-life.
Further yet, it can use long half-life waste as part of its fuel cycle.
Nuclear is the answer. Any country that isn't pursuing it is stupid.
BIG HINT: This means things like NEST, Alexa, Smart Things, etc. all of which are controlled remotely by someone else are not valid choices. Siri is maybe not as bad but still questionable.
Wait for local language processing to arrive. It will within about two years. If you insisted on getting that other thing earlier, then switch.
Tips on getting a home "security" camera, or other networked devices:
(1) If you don't know how to set it up yourself, either learn, or get a "supervised" home security system. With all the security holes that entails.
Don't try to DIY-it with cheap Chinese stuff.
(2) If you DO know how to set these things up yourself, then:
(a) Make sure it will operate over the local network without a remote internet connection.
(b) If registration of the device over the internet is mandatory, be suspicious. Those in (a) require remote access by the company to work.
Not all do. But some registered with a company but don't "require" internet access will "call home" anyway if connected.
(c) Make sure it will work with generic cam software (such as ONFIV), not just the company's own.
(d) Set it up on your home network, establish username/password, then set your router to port forward (via a DIFFERENT remote port)
to your camera IP/port, set your "generic" software to access the camera just like from home, but using external IP and external port.
It should, if you read OP, which got it very wrong:
They observed that when exposed to only 1 milligram per milliliter of the artificial sweeteners, the bacteria found in the digestive system became toxic.
Um... no they didn't "become toxic". They "became dead", which is a very different thing.
I eat dead things all the time. I very much try to avoid eating toxic things.
It "multiplies entities". It brings in a heretofore unknown externality to explain something that "should be" explainable by more conventional physics.
I'm not saying it's wrong. Though there is some evidence it is.
But the recent detection of heavy neutrinos (likely "s-tau" or stau) coming from inside the earth has been suggested might lead to either an explanation of "dark matter" or perhaps to a new, alternative hypothesis.
The problem with dark matter is that it would be preferable to have an answer that wasn't such a gross violation of Occam's Razor, which, as you probably recall, says the the correct answer is likely to be the one which makes the least assumptions (or, alternatively, requires the "least multiplication of entities").
Dark matter is an "external entity" brought in to explain the phenomenon, outside of otherwise understood physics.
Occam's Razor is not a physical principle of course. Or a universal law. It's more about falsifiability. It's pretty damned hard to falsify dark matter because at present it's pretty damned hard to devise any experiments which could. Because it's an entity that is external to our known physical framework.
And we prefer falsifiable science to unfalsifiable.
The point being: it's possible that these neutrinos point to a pathway to explain dark matter in terms of already-understood quantum physics, without having to introduce some kind of "ghost" particle.
It's also possible that McCulloch's theory could be an alternate explanation. But either of those might be "preferable", in a philosophical and falsifiability sense, to dark matter, and would likely "upset the applecart" less.
It's only "observational evidence" in the sense that it's a theory that can explain what is observed.
The problem is, there are alternate theories that fit the same observations approximately as well.
Not all of them have panned out; some have been pretty much disproved. But the point is: it's as much "observation evidence" of dark matter as much as it is evidence for those other theories.
Also, I should have clarified that they can only legally destroy your property if they have reason to believe there is something in there that is related to the warrant. "Fishing expeditions" are not allowed.
Twitter found less than 50 identifiable "Russian bot" accounts out of 200 million. And then it suspended a couple of million people for supposedly being "bots".
That alone should tell you that the Russian bot thing is nothing but BS conspiracy theory.

Climate, not climagt, of course.
From a "climagt change" standpoint, it's ridiculous.
The CO2 emitted by the manufacture of a lithium battery is significantly more than it saves over its useful lifetime.
From that perspective, this is useless chasing of ghosts.

SystemD was a bad idea from the start.
The majority opposition to it should have been a clue.
Nothing at all surprising about this.
Plus this "relationship" with Putin nonsense.
There is STILL zero evidence that Trump has any "relationship" with Putin at all, except as one statesman to another.
Let's remember that Obama and his crew met with Putin rather regularly.
Reviews over the last 14 years or so show that you actually have to buy more expensive hardware to get the same performance from Windows.
Yes, they are expensive. But in most cases It Just Worksâ and you have top-of-the-line performance and lots less hassle.
The other day Ajit Pai totally screwed the pooch, by saying FCC "does not have authority" to regulate net neutrality.
Why is that "screwing the pooch"? Because if the Federal government can't, then the states can.
He's trying to have it both ways, but he's not going to get it both ways.
Game over.

Who buys these things anyway?
Who is not aware of the extremely severe privacy and security issues they represent?
It just dumbfounds me.

This is absolutely ridiculous.
There is only one Moon.
It is a satellite of Earth.
True, people have tended to call other satellites "moons" as sort of an incorrect shorthand; but it is indeed incorrect.
"Moon" is the name of Earth's satellite. The others are also called satellites. But they have their own names (like Earth's does).
Titan is not a moon. It is the name of one of another planet's satellites.
Agree.
The reason it enhances memory is because it makes you work to even read it. Which means you pay more attention, etc.
But that's like saying you'll better remember digging a ditch later if you have to do it with a shovel rather than a backhoe.
Probably true, but who cares?

It has also been damnably unfalsifiable.
It "multiplies entities". It brings in a heretofore unknown externality to explain something that "should be" explainable by more conventional physics.

I prefer a wait-and-see approach.

Being a "Russian bot" today is kind of like being a "literal Nazi" or a "racist".
You're not one, but you disagree with the Left.
Their attempts to label everyone they don't like under a few hateful labels gives away their agenda.
I agree with sexconker.
This is a blatant case of "Russian bot delusion".
Twitter found less than 50 identifiable "Russian bot" accounts out of 200 million. And then it suspended a couple of million people for supposedly being "bots".
That alone should tell you that the Russian bot thing is nothing but BS conspiracy theory.
