I've read that something like 33% of the world's money is physical, eg paper and coins, while the other 2/3 of it is pretty much just numbers on a screen somewhere. How do we protect that? What stops some super hacker from sending the entire world into a global recession by manipulating this "money"? A stupid question I'm sure, but i'm genuinely curious/clueless.
If you want a real answer lol, ledgers are kept on Write One, Read Many (WORM) systems which effectively act as an irrevocable trusted ledger. Access and modifications to sources of record like that are controlled and limited through use of encryption for data access and assurance.
It's basically math (encryption) on top of typical operational security measures like least privileged access and HEAVY auditing for irregularities

There's a great podcast called "Q clearance" that tries to cover the entire lifecycle of qanon and the [thing]anon meme out of 4 chan that started it. Really interesting, and good reporting to really bring the entire shape of the grift into focus

This reminds me of the last known footage of Hitler where he came out of the Fuhrerbunker just long enough to hang some Iron Crosses on children and old men before going back down to off himself.Ya know when you think about it, the hitler youth were just a bunch of proud boys

So, is the loss of taste a complete loss of taste or is it more specific?
I recently realized that I lost my taste of salt around 2 months ago. I can barely taste it. Thinking back, I was over-salting dishes frequently when I cooked back then. Since then, I started having my wife taste test my dishes for me. My taste of salt is still greatly diminished. Just had maybe a 1/4 teaspoon of straight salt as a test and I could just barely tell it was salt.
Google now only turns up COVID and I can’t tell if it could’ve been something else.Protip, change your search to only return results from 2019 and earlier and you be able to filter out the COVID hits

Honestly, If I was Pelosi, I'd give it a few more days, let the votes get certified, and if PA and MI start fucking around with appointing electors, I'd call a press conference and say:
"Either the GOP leaders recognize the election is over, Joe Biden is the president elect, begin an orderly transition, and start having hard conversations with Donald Trump, or we are summarily ending further government funding negotiations. The House has the power of the purse for the next two years and will use it if we have to. This coup attempt ends right now. "
lol hoping for anything more than a limp wristed, mealy mouth protest before rolling over from the democratic leadership. They claimed that they'd cede power after consolidating in 2018. I'm sure chuck and nancy will continue to shit the bed and roll around in it.

A passenger aboard the first cruise ship to set sail in the Caribbean since the start of the pandemic has tested positive for coronavirus, according to a reporter traveling on the ship.
Gene Sloan, a cruise writer for The Points Guy, said in a post on Wednesday that the captain of the SeaDream 1 made a shipwide announcement alerting guests to the positive case and asked that everyone return to their rooms.
The passenger tested positive on a "preliminary basis," according to Sloan. It's not clear what "preliminary" means.
Anyone voluntarily getting onto a cruise ship should expect to get COVID. What the fuck are they thinking?

Lol, I think it's reasonable to assume that someone coming in with a name of "HillaryFan420" making facile arguments isn't doing it in good faith. But sure, let's see what future gems we'll get from the sock

Can we crowdsource this dude? His trolling game is weak, not even making a good intellectually dishonest argument.

I think overall the President has little to do with immediate macroeconomic outcomes. However, interest rates are one area that clearly has an immediate impact on the labor market and the President has some control in that arena given his ability to appoint the Fed chair. As stupid as Trump is, he was right about the need to keep interest rates low even as wages began to rise. This also illustrates how powerful a tool dollar hawkishness is for maintaining inequality.
Your thesis statement is factually incorrect. trump's Fed raised interest rates from Obama's low rates, in concert with the rise in wages. Here's a chart for you

You realize the Y-axis is the percent increase in wage growth, right? So those wages were growing at a higher rate for low income workers during Trump's first three years than at any point during Obama's second term. What you're referring to is the rate of increase in the rate of increase.
And you know that economic policies don't just immediately start showing an impact when they're implemented right? Impact generally lags several years behind policy changes

Speaking of Williamson County
On the one hand, swimming pools seem pretty safe. On the other hand, this will be packed to the largest capacity they allow, because a shitload of people are probably stir crazy at this point.
TBH, if they just mist their chlorinated water 24/7 and blast artificial UV light that would be a pretty effective disinfectant for the airborne virus.
Still 100% regarded to open an indoor waterpark in the middle of a pandemic, but hey it's not like we've been making good decisions so far anyways right?

7 killed, including 5 Americans, in helicopter crash involving peacekeeping force in Egypt
QuoteWashington (CNN)Seven military members of a peacekeeping force in Egypt, including five Americans, were killed when a helicopter crashed in the southern Sinai Peninsula, the coalition force announced Thursday.
One American survived the crash, which happened in the vicinity of Sharm el-Sheikh, the coalition said in a statement. The names of those involved are being withheld pending the notification of next of kin.
The coalition force said "there is no information to indicate the crash was anything except an accident" and that an investigation was underway to determine the cause.
The peacekeeping force, known as the Multinational Force and Observers, oversees the peace agreement reached between Egypt and Israel as part of the Camp David Accords of 1978.
Also killed were one French and one Czech national, the coalition said.
A US official could not say immediately if the craft was a US helicopter, and the Trump administration is working to confirm details.

Well




IMO, this is a chickenshit move. That guy isn't a well-known figure and this is just manufacturing a "gotcha". Republicans do enough embarrassing shit on their own, and it only feeds their victim complex to do stuff like this.
That said, our acting director of national intelligence should know better to not get dunked on on twitter

... for "exploration", it's not there yet. It might be one day, but not yet. I think Falcon Heavy is getting close to the capacity -- but not yet.
What's your take on Starship? It's still in development but they're building and flying test units with a commercial flight scheduled for 2021. And it's designed to use falcon cores as boosters

imagine being so fragile that instead of admitting that you were wrong about the efficacy of facemasks and other public health measures that you move the goalposts to "well people are fat, so public health measures wouldn't matter anyways"
