big news today is photos of former U.S. Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA 42) in the mob.
Trump's audience yesterday could not have been over 1,250
That's the maximum allowable seating at the Greenville Convention Center.
Haven't found out if it was fully occupied.
So when you hear the trump camp bragging about a huge crowd size.......
Oh god....that horrible screeching of the national anthem..
Just tuned to Youtube video of TFG speech, it opens with some frowsy looking blond ( of course) woman screeching the anthem.
A warning of what was yet to come, obviously.
Amazon US customers have one week to opt out of mass wireless sharing
The feature works by creating a low-bandwidth network using smart home devices such as Amazon Echoes and Ring security cameras. At its simplest, it means that a new Echo can set itself up using a neighbours wifi, or a security camera can continue to send motion alerts even if its connection to the internet is disrupted, by piggybacking on the connection of another camera across the street. Other devices that dont need a high-bandwidth connection, such as smart lights, pet locators or smart locks, can use Sidewalk all the time.
But Sidewalk has come under fire for the apparent lack of transparency with which Amazon has rolled out the feature, as well as the limited time available for users to complete the tricky process required to opt out. Other critics have expressed concerns that failing to turn the setting off could leave customers in breach of their internet service providers terms and conditions.
But the companys plans have caused alarm among observers. Ashkan Soltani, a former chief technology officer of the US Federal Trade Commission, told the tech site Ars Technica: In addition to capturing everyones shopping habits (from amazon.com) and their internet activity (as AWS is one of the most dominant web hosting services) now they are also effectively becoming a global ISP with a flick of a switch, all without even having to lay a single foot of fiber. The feature may also break the terms and conditions of users internet connections, which do not allow such resharing, warned Lydia Leong, an analyst at Gartner.

So the "feature" has been built into all the devices they want to use, meaning all the devices already in homes as well as future purchased devices.
Meaning this has been a plan all along.
sort of the Bitcoin mining concept, sounds like.
Wonder if they can use my wi-fi even tho I don't have any devices..
oooops...the Fire tablet.....
Anyone know about this huge white dome in Chicago?

For those who wonder what all the fuss is about re: the coming cicadas
They are LOUD! A wall of unrelenting sound.
and high pitched
like having ringing in your ears constantly at high volume.
Here's 2 examples,slightly different sounds ( they have variations in the rhythm of noise)
Imagine hearing this 24 hours a day for a few weeks in the hot summer.
Inside the house dims but does not block the sound.
Since cicadas are on everyone's mind now,here is a good tool to predict your area
Very easy chart of the cycles,in each state.
This page has a chart,which shows where and when the cicada schedule will be in your area,
just look for the map of your state. It also shows all the past and future emerges of the 13 year and the 17 year.

Any recommendations for a good durable reliable cell phone?
Bowing to the inevitable, I have to get a cell phone.
Need easy to see numbers, not a real small type, nothing real expensive.
I will be buying minutes for it, not using a regular service plan.
Don't need/ want e-mail/internet access, just something to use to call around town, and to have a cell number that PayPal and other services are now demanding
( grrrrrr).
I am home most of the time, retired, don't need to make a lot of calls on a cell, don't like talking on them, actually.
I have a landline for home.
Probably will get one on Amazon, out here in the boonies son't have a lot of shopping options, want to avoid a dud.
any do's/don'ts appreciated.
