    There's spikes all over the graph. Very few correspond with anything election related. The spike during the RNC platform committee is from Michigan (Spectrum Health), not either of the Alfas.

    Are there also "all sorts of reasons" that the peak activity of this server would occur only during dates immediately following dramatic election news?

    They didn't. The article says this, but the attached graph shows otherwise.

    Pretty sure it's intentionally bad. Almost certainly American; I don't think anyone else (well, maybe a Canadian who saw too much Moose and Squirrel) would do a "bad Russian accent" that way.

    The FBI isn't going to do squat about Trump because much of the FBI thinks Hillary ought to be in jail and a lot of them are very frustrated that political realities made that impossible.

    CIA: "No, no, no, nukes are too crude even for Putin. Clearly he has a new weapon to cut off all electrical power on election day."

    NSC: "Come now, this is foolish. Certainly he has come up with a virus to cause all our voting machines to record all votes for Putin himself, as a thumb in our eye."

    Apples and oranges. The 14% is the UKs percentage of the EUs total GDP. The 43% is percentage of the UKs exports (that is, excluding domestic consumption). These figures are not comparable.

    Q1: the UK have had a place at the negociating table for years. If British people don't like the EU decisions, they only have themselves to blame, because they did not negotiate properly. Period.

    Or the people who wanted something else had a stronger position. If negotiation cannot obtain acceptable terms, exit is a perfectly reasonable alternative.

    If you give the FDA more money, they will spend it on things like enforcing rules against importation of epi-pens rather than going through the backlog of generics. They will then claim they need more money to go through the backlog of generics. Basically the last thing a government agency will spend money on are the things people want, because not doing those things is the best way for it to get additional funding. (This is a generalization of the famous Washington Monument strategy)

    Sure. Katie Ledecki got gold for swimming 800m about 15s slower than Connor Jaeger did for swimming 800m on the way to 1500m for mere silver. Still think there isn't something inherently different about women, or was Ledecki just sandbagging the way to the world record?
