Not really. The email describes Covid-19 symptoms but then goes on to say they have no concern for Covid-19 infection. It was a mess up by all involved.

Trump helps rich to profiteer from the pandemic as US inequality balloons - Michael West

Inequality in the US explodes. Donald Trump's response to Covid-19 has been great for corporations and the one-percenters, not so good for Americans, writes @DavidCayJ.

This is exactly what I indicated his policies would result in and the right wing enthusiasts pooh poohed my findings.
Trump is widening the gap between the rich and the poor - and Dumbo Morrison has photocopied the Trump economic plan and activated the demotion of our middle class into lower middle class, the poor are becoming homeless and Australia gurgles. The wealthy are richer than ever - so what's the problem?

I don't think he hides it, he's just convinced everybody there that the rich will drop pennies for the rest of society if they get richer. They think trickle down economics works.

All they did was suggest he wasn't telling the truth. He's always had a touch of the dictator about him. He seems to have a hard-on for Kim, Putin and Bolsanaro. The US has put a heap of dictators into other countries, it would be some kind of cruel karma if they end up with one themselves though.

Yanks cannot be objective on anything Russian as a base, imbeciles on both sides in comments on each other. To their credit though, the Yanks also do, decades later, mostly, then go and kill their installed dictators and Democracy through "really big guns and lots of them" or "money and lots of it", but it's more cleaning up their own shit and hoping those who notice are already dead or don't care enough about it.

Open question, wondering if others are also getting that Chinese DHL scam pinging their phones recently? Blocked about 6 numbers in the past 24hr, all them. Wondering if I'm just that well loved in China, or if anyone else has also gotten lucky.

Actually in a roundabout way I'm with Donald on this - removing the liability exemption (that they are not media companies and therefore they have no responsibility for what is posted) from Facebook, Twitter etc should happen. If they allow libelous comment, they should be a party to any action that may arise.

It just cracks me up that he thinks this will be a win for him. If Facebook and Twitter become liable for the crap that gets posted - he won't be able to post a thing!!!!

 

[pebblesofsand]

Now the 2nd biggest hypocrite in the world wades into the conversation

Zuckerberg says Facebook won't be 'arbiters of truth' after Trump threat

President announced plan to strip social media companies of liability protections after Twitter factchecked his posts

www.theguardian.com

Yet Facebook itself a few weeks ago labelled the Lincoln Project’s “Mourning in America” ad as “partly false,” rejected it as inappropriate, and dramatically depressed its circulation when users tried to share the video for free.

Trying to figure out what is the optimal motherboard and graphics card to pair with a Ryzen 9 3900X CPU.

Mobo is AM4 socket as that's what the Ryzen is, so largely anything like;

AMD Socket AM4 - PC Case Gear

I went Intel & Nvidia, so not sure on the AMD side of things generally whereas AMD is of course Radeon re GPU's, that's also where your primary cost is, though again also admittedly I could not be arsed last time and had someone else build mine, and personally I don't care much for optimal settings and things to "shine". So long as it doesn't burn eyes or look like vomit, it's good enough for me.

 

[MUFKilda]

Right, us Poms are currently experiencing temperatures above 25 degrees; yes, 25!! This is almost national emergency status. Are houses in many parts of Australia built with air conditioning to deal with the heat you have? We currently have fans on in most rooms, unable to cope with this heat! If we hit 30, I will take an ice bath.

The reason for that is simple. It helps prevent other countries from figuring out what exact parts were used to create the vehicle or whatever it is. What they do is take the total build cost and randomly adjust the prices of everything so a $10,000 computer might be listed for $5,673 but the $600 monitor listed for $6000.
It’s a crude example, but it’s why O-rings are listed as being worth literally hundreds of dollars more than their actual cost.
Bunnings isn’t actually being paid $354 for the hammer, it’s just listed like that in the public records.

Supposedly the leak is nowhere near as bad as that article is suggesting.
