10/FenelonSpoke:
Slow loading: Software gets updates over time as hardware doesn't. Eventually this will cause some slowness as the apps are expecting better hardware to run on. It might be as simple as this. Also there's some of this going on from certain manufacturers - they'll update the operating system of the phone to start slowing it down as the hardware ages to try to nudge people to buy a new phone. Unethical? Absolutely. It might just be that there's stuff running in the background that you don't know is actually doing so. Do a full power down and power up on the phone, see if that helps. Another sign of an aging phone is if it's not holding a charge for very long. (Tired battery.) Finally, did you install any new applications recently, and was there a marked drop in performance overall? Remove those and see if performance picks up. (You can re-install them after doing this test.) My youngest daughter's mobile phone is over 7 years old and still going. Yeah, it's slow, but it does what she needs and like me, she's the type to make something last as long as it can. That's all I've got for ya.

@35/FenelonSpoke: " I do know it doesn't hold a charge for very long."
That's probably the key factor then, much like what Pixy pointed to. You might be able to take your phone to a phone repair place in your area (that fixes broken glass, replaces batteries, that sort of thing) and see if a new battery might be just the ticket. Okay, REALLY going now. :-) Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at July 14, 2024 05:10 AM (O7YUW) 40
Evening and morning to all the outposts of the AOSHQ Empire!
Don Black, I too underslept, but not by much. Stirling the big black cat was walking over me and bumping my chin. It looks like I forgot to put the little snack bowl of dry food down on the floor last night after they had their main dinners; so both bowls were polished empty. Oops. Yesterday was . . . something. I wonder if we will see a return of the Trumpy Bear toy, this time with a bandage on one ear . . .? If they're still available, I'm tempted to buy a TB and stick a dressing on its ear myself.

I see there was significant comment volume last night, requiring a second ONT. Total of nearly 2000 comments. Not surprising.
If there had been an Internet in 1912, I'll bet it would have exploded just like this for Teddy Roosevelt after his shooting. Or for FDR in 1933, or after RFK and MLK in '68. (The JFK thing would have broken the nascent 'Net.) In 1912, if TR had not split the R vote the way he did, if he'd been the actual R candidate, he'd have trounced that sourpuss-looking Wilson in a heartbeat.

Listening to Doctor whats-his-face on Faux News. Siegal whatever. The difference between Trump being alive and dead was mere millimeters. He turned his head to the right, taking his head out out of the trajectory at just the right moment to let the bullet hit his ear, and not go into the back of his head at the ear.

Wendell from Level1Techs and Steve from GamersNexus, YouTubers, have been looking into the 13900K & 14900K SKUs problems and it’s not looking good.
Wendell studied the problem for months using game crash data he got from Game Devs. He has determined that the i9 Ks have a decompression problem of some kind. He even checked the crash data from data centers that do MMO games and found the same errors on the chips they use in the servers. He says data centers are switching to AMD 7950X systems because the Intel chips are failing too fast. Steve from GN says that he’s been looking into this too. And has come to a realization about the chip defects and will release something soon. They don’t want to tip Intel off to what they know. They believe these chips can’t be fixed with a BIOS or Micro-code update. Intel has a problem on their hands. If you own any Intel stock, beware.

I'm thinking, but may be wrong, the "ear shot" was the first shot this shooter fired. He was lining Trump's head in his scope. He fired. The Hand of God turned Trump's head. And then he started squeezing off more rounds wild. That's what killed that poor fellow and injured the others. Then return fired took him out.

That photo (and there are several, of which one is the best), various angles, of Trump fist pumping is truly "iconic". That's an understatement, really. American flag overheard. Trump, defiant, blood running down his cheek, raising his fist, "Fight, fight, fight!" And the phalanx of SS agents around him. In that image, he stands the tallest. It's got an Iwo Jima feel to it.

I'm pondering the mettle of this man, Donald Trump. In those moments, you saw his mettle. A bullet struck his ear and missed blowing his brains out by a millimeter or two. "Get me my shoes!" was his first reaction, they apparently knocked him down with enough force piling on to knock his shoes off. And then, they try to form a phalanx around him. You know, well I shouldn't say anything yet, but that female agent around him was too short and had no business being there. He then says, "wait, wait". His instinct, mere moments after almost dying, is to stand up, and pump his fist in defiance. "Missed me, mofo". He wanted to show the crowd there he was okay, and "Fight, fight, fight!". That's Donaldus Maximus (as Rush Limbaugh (pbuh) dubbed him) true character being shown. In the heat of the moment, that's Who He Is.

Our perhaps just a real familiarity with the guy and how he thinks. He made it clear that he wasn't grievously wounded as quickly as possible to forestall an actual panic in the crowd. And they knew, in return, that "Fight, fight, fight" means "stay with me, we must defeat these people". Nobody had to say anything explicitly. There was no riot. There were no pogroms against anyone. There was no "MAGA Backlash" (at least not yet, it seems). Everyone was on the same page. And it was a sane and calm and rational page. I'm just being a little melodramatic.

In this movie The Gunfighter from 1950, with Gregory Peck, the very young Skip Homeier has a featured role. You remember him as one of the Nazis in the Trek episode "Patterns of Force," and as the insane Dr. Severin in the space hippies episode. I always thought he did a fine job in that otherwise dull episode. He suggested a seething madness under his exterior to the point that, when Spock says "Dr. Sevrin is insane," you believe it.

There's a video out there of a sniper team on the roof adjacent to the stage. The one with the tripod mounted weapon looks like he has someone under observation and then lifts his head as the gunshots ring out. Then he puts his head back down. If he was looking at the assassin on the rooftop from a distance of less than 200 yards, it's just inconceivable that he didn't take a shot. And no trained sniper lifts his head from the scope to assess the target. That's the spotter's job. Spectacular fail.

Though, since the widow had near a 12 pack left over from a lady's party she threw, I've lately developed a taste for saspirrella. She cracked up the first time she asked if I wanted something to drink and I replied in a gruff voice, "Barkeep, give me a saspirrellee." Posted by: TeeJ at July 14, 2024 08:06 AM (xZpzx) 365

IIRC, President Reagan, after recovering from his assassination attempt, was giving a speech when a loud "pop" sounded. Right in mid-speech, he joked "You missed!" then continued on.

Posted by: davidt at July 14, 2024 07:55 AM I disagree. You look at Trump still trying to project strength by pumping his fist in the air while the secret service was trying to evac him. Now go to Biden stumbling out to a podium, slurring his words and can't even complete a single train of thought while speaking. That contrast only reinforces Biden's frailness and that he needs to step down...from the campaign and from office.

The counter snipers had to think about the shooter's preferred pronouns, they didn't want to just see someone low crawling up a roof with a rifle and assume he had ill intent.

The left has certainly demonstrated time and again they are not going to relinquish power without a physical fight. And that goes for this election big time.

Plus, a deep cover plan that would allow an assassin to escape in the chaos of a successful killing sure looks like a DeepState/CIA/FBI/Democrat operation. Esp. the SS refusing to do anything about the citizens' warnings about the rooftop. I don't like conspiraccies. They don't appeal to me intellectually at all. But, it's hard to deny, this sure has the stink of one. And the whole, "no motive" blather, and lack of info coming out, sure reminds me of the Las Vegas shooting cover-up.

Every local Democrat office holder needs to be saddled as an antifa supporter unless they promise to leave the Party if the openly supportive Democrats do not resign. They need to be villified for taking Democrat blood money, and they need to be ridiculed for being China-adjacent, godless communists that despise our country and its values.

Posted by: Our Country is Screwed - Abandon Brandon at July 14, 2024 08:24 AM (2AW7/) I suspect that now they’re too demoralized to even put much effort into the cheat. Ironically this may make it much easier for Joe to stay in the race, nobody else will want to take a 49 state beating. Well Kamala might be stupid enough to want to.

When Nixon didn't contest the 1960 election he did so for the good of the country and was seen as magnanimous.
If Biden were to quietly announce his resignation today, for the good of the couny, it would allow him to retain some semblance of dignity and allow him to have something close to a good reputation. It would also give him credit for the country's first female president. Yay. For about six months. Yay. It wouldn't matter. She wouldn't be making any decisions. Joe hasn't made one in years. Then they can go through the motions of an election in which, in all probability, Trump will win all fifty states. Resign, Joe. Do it for the country you love.

@451.. Fortification got a lot more complicated, you're right. Fortification was going to he tougher in 2024 anyway because of Joe's lack of plausibility. "This fucking guy got a gazillion votes?" They pulled it off, barely, once. But Joe can't be the front man for another fortification. That's what last week was about. With Kamala and her DEI points, an even more brazen fortification might have been able to go forward. The calculation would have been, fortify, get it in the courts, then dare Roberts and ACB to rule against first female POTUS. That's not a bad strategy. Tougher now though. After this, even Roberts and ACB might show some spine.

I am open to the possibility that he did register (R) at 18, as various screenshots purport, and that he voted once since then, and that his "young skull full of mush" changed over two years. I'm also open to the possibility that he registered in his closed-primary state in order to cast a spoiler vote in a Republican race. But a young mind, especially given his distinctly Antifa-arrest-collage physiognomy, isn't likely to be very well-formed, politically or otherwise. No True Republican? Well, sure.

They didn't secure the rooftop (that one is a given). They weren't scanning their designated areas for threats and didn't see the shooter.

1- SS didnt have the manpower to cover the perimeter beyond 90 meters. They should have used local LEO’s to cover that distance for elevated positions. That’s on the SS director who refuse the requests. It’s also on the site command for not getting local PD on that roof.
2- if you’re on the ground on that site, the shooter was partially obscured by some pines from the SS, CS position it’s why they had trouble locating him at first. Again, the site commander should be flogged. No excuse for that. 3- There was some amount of planning as the shooter had a gun.

I still think vodka and coke Just tastes weird, though in theory it should not. Rum and Coke tastes good, whiskey and Coke tastes good. The vodka and Coke should just be an alcoholic Coke. But something is off with it imo. Posted by: Quint at July 14, 2024 08:52 AM (gURWE) 520

Shitstein: IF TRUE, THIS IS DAMNING: Putting aside the blame game about violent rhetoric and so on, we know (a) that a Republican Congressman was shot and nearly killed a few years ago; (b) police arrested a man near Justice Kavanaugh’s house who came to kill him; (c) partisan bitterness is the highest its been in living memory; (d) many people really hate Donald Trump; (e) we have had a series of mass shooters who mostly sought fame and attention; and (f) there are 400 million or so guns in the US. Put them all together, and based on any reasonable risk assessment Trump should have been given the highest level of secret service protection.
CAN WE HOLD THE DEMAGOGUERY AT LEAST UNTIL WE KNOW THE SHOOTER’S MOTIVES?: I guess this is now Vance’s brand, which would make him an unfortunate choice for vice-president.

Well, there’s that too. But local PD is often slow to react, and you should not be in a position where you’re playing defense. Reaction times are always cut unless you’re completely dialed in. People who have also never pulled a trigger on someone are also often slower to engage, no matter how much training you have. Especially when the threat in not direct.

Well, they really have to kill him now. The CIA is probably pretty pissed that the armatures took the initiative. It's going to make it harder for them.

I would like to make it a point in general to push back on anyone, from any quarter, bringing up this pernicious idea that "Trump's Violent Rhetoric" even *exists*, let alone can be used as a first cause for this crime.
Show me. Show me violent rhetoric. Show me even eliminationist rhetoric. Defeat our opponents? Well no shit. Nobody runs to lose. Secure our borders? Also no shit. That doesn't even need supporting arguments, it's so brutally obvious. ALL the violent and eliminationist rhetoric comes either from the Left directly, or from the Left in some nasty little against-the-lapel falsetto Trump impersonation.

Aetius. Don't know about PDT, however being married to a much stronger believer has made my faith deeper. I have been told that PDT has a statue of St. Michael on his nightstand, which to me would mean Melania's influence on him.
My pastor texted last night that he thought PDT visited a shrine to Our Lady of Fatima yesterday and she protected him. I haven't been able to confirm this, if true it might deepen your faith even more. Posted by: neverenoughcaffeine at July 14, 2024 09:30 AM (2NHgQ) 606

I think the left is energized to commit more violence.
I'm not sure what, exactly, the right is energized over. Being right about the Democrat's penchant for violence? That Trump wasn't killed? I've got an uneasy feeling about events moving forward.

I wish Melania had referred to them as 'tragic victims' and not 'innocent victims' as the word innocent implies some sort of guilty party. My perception, anyway. Posted by: Divide by Zero at July 14, 2024 10:41 AM (RKVpM) 625

Having the mere audacity to try to win against the blob of globalism and perversion is being cast as sufficiently evil to merit getting killed. To them, just the fact that anyone won't bend the knee is considered "violent rhetoric".

On July 8th Biden said those words. Trump was shot five days later. Posted by: Divide by Zero at July 14, 2024 11:19 AM (RKVpM) It really can't be read as anything other than an incitement to violence. *NOW* is the time to do that? That thing you've been doing for almost a decade now? Do you think somehow the globalist blob has been insufficiently focused on Trump? Not enough column-inches in print or asshole-minutes on camera devoted to pointing out how he's gonna Orange Thanos snap everyone to death with a single tweet? Do you really think "Oh, man, we really got caught napping on this Trump guy! Where'd he come from all the sudden?" The statement is preposterous. Which means its meaning and intent is not the superficially figurative one. Posted by: Warai-otoko at July 14, 2024 11:24 AM (BAEGB) 634
And news cretins need to stop saying "rhetoric" when they mean "polemic".
Posted by: Warai-otoko at July 14, 2024 11:26 AM (BAEGB) 635
... also... it's kind of a dumb turn of phrase that's easy to gloss over because the intent is so clear.
"Put him in the bullseye"? I always thought you put someone in the crosshairs, or you put a bullseye on someone. You don't put someone in the bullseye. That's just silly. Posted by: Warai-otoko at July 14, 2024 11:28 AM (BAEGB) 636

The gaslighting that this is somehow just a fair-play turn-about totally understandable proportionate response to something, and it's really Trump's fault, is so disgustingly symmetrical with the Gaza narrative framework. "Yes, yes, We All Condemn Violence, but, I mean, look at you. You're Evil. Can you blame them? It's not fair to go attacking those poor dears for doing the sensible thing and trying to murder you. You made this situation exist by daring to not just lie down and die."
