    You tube

    Has an interesting Sections that have Popped up. About HOw Those IN THE FIELD, Fixed things Wrong in Military hardware, even in WWi and WWII. From Planes to Machineguns. There have been a Few Fixes that Should not have need to be Done. But Manufactures TEND NOT to have an Active WAR to test many things. The Fun part in All this is a RULE NOT TO FIX/ADJUST what is in the field.

  • On the post: How ICE’s Plan To Monitor Social Media Threatens Not Just Privacy, But Civic Participation

    ECA ( profile ), 10 Dec, 2025 @ 08:43am

    #1. We already know the Gov. Police agencies are monitoring the net

    But, for the Few who THINK they are safe.? This is the internet, and Anyone can create Crap programs that do Chat and share Pics. There are Client based chats, no servers needed or able to be Cut. You can be Man in the middle and listen to What they say, IF you can translate/interpret what they say. They can be traced unless you use VPN and other programs. But out of this, and this article. WTF IS ICE/DHS STILL AROUND FOR? DID they catch any terrorists? or did we allow them to be captured on the START of the route to the USA? England and EU probably caught most of them. How many Court cases so far? 100's? They are trying to remove BIRTHRIGHT, because they Just want to be able to say...SUNTAN, we ship you out. But where are there Claims that these folks are MOSTLY mobsters and Drug cartels...NONE are in court to Prove ANYTHING.. I still wonder about TRUMPS 2 Wives.. They DIDNT get even thought about UNTIL they had a child for TRUMP. They were in the USA for years. THEN Who naturalized the KIDS?? Because they were Born Before the Wives were Admitted. Considering we can Prove they are Contract marriages.

    The Excuse

    I love mentioning to those running Servers, Why Not Linux? And they say its TO HARD, Windows is Easy(and Crap). Linux based machines are EASY to Backup the system, Burn a DVD or Flash drive to Boot an OS, then Tell it to COPY the WHOLE HD configurations you made, and its almost done. Easy Backups, Easy recovery. NO hiding the files, unless you want to. Linux has so many versions/types that you can make it look like Apple or windows or what ever. Load it and run.. OR Dive into it and play with the configurations. DO keep backups to Original. And putting Data and Files and Games on ANOTHER drive isnt hard. Windows(has gotten better) love loosing the locations. OH! I forgot, CURRENT windows versions from 10-11, Started adding LINUX configurations... ONE of those is being able to use a HD/SSD larger then 2Terabytes. You can do 8T. WHICH IS REALLY FUN, as Windows Install may not understand it(I aint done this yet). I prefer to Multi Section LARGE drives, But windows IF YOU DONT SET IT UP, Wont see that 8T drive.

    And

    What numbers do the Corps throw around when they Charge $100 fir <1gig? They FINALLY got fiber in my Town, and we live next to the freeway, 3 Fiber lines going threw Town, 1 of them Since they Installed Fiber for the NET/Backbone. Consider that MOST small NON-Corp system Dont pay TOP wages over 1 million per year...THATS A SAVINGS. And there is generally NO Stock shares to DEAL with. AND with a Solid internet, do remember, That GENERALLY its linked to the Phone and cellphone systems. So while installing the Lines, they can Install Extended Systems, around the area for better reception. AND Charge the corps for Access to the service. Because DOING the work themselves would COST MORE MONEY, then renting access.

    ECA ( profile ), 08 Dec, 2025 @ 03:00pm

    Its so entertaining

    That out of all the crimes, in the USA. Drugs seem to be a big one. But NO ONE ever mentions the Drug Czars. Those persons in charge of the money going back and forth. All we see are the Handlers and Mailmen. And its NOT that there are To many of these Czars. Cause the Amounts of money on the table is HUGE for the drugs being handled. I know they want to stay OUT of the picture in Every way, and MAYBE 1=5 persons Even have an Idea who they are in the USA. But, unless you are willing to deal with CASH ONLY. there will be a money trail. And Even with Cash sales, you could place a notice out to Every business about LARGE sales ofg Cash only, to be reported. With that said. All thats happening is Performance ART. The USA is backing USA CORPS to take advantage of S. America, and ALWAYS HAS backed the corps over the S. American nations..

    Amazing

    In politics, Proof isnt enough, Lies work better, as you can Supply all the data you want, as you pay someone to Write the letters, or Post all over the net. Lies are easy when you have Dirty money, ignorant Supporters, no fact checks, no Monitoring.

    English language and interpretation.

    The English language is a composite of many languages that its collected words from Over many centuries. IF you can find any word with only 1 simple meaning... You are a very bored person to search for it. Expect computers to get Any hint of its complexity? You will need a computer with Totally different concept and design. Trying to Fit your brain around Languages, is like yelling at a 2 year old for using the Wrong word. When it takes our children until 6th grade, I should say, that WE expect most documents and information to be based on an education of a 6th grader.(its still not happening) Unless you can get your AI OUT of the Box and into an interactive world. Its only going to be used as a Simulacrum, for Spam Interaction, Sales calls, Basic Crap that saves Corps Money on Hiring HUMANS to call people. Its only going to be a Glorified Software bundle thats over priced and does the SAME as what we already have.

    On April 1, Defense Department officials said the militarization at the US-Mexico border had cost roughly $376 million since Trump returned to the White House on January 20, or about $5.3 million per day. https://www.businessinsider.com/military-assets-donald-trump-immigration-us-mexico-southern-border-2025-3#costly-crackdown-on-immigration-1 DARN I MISSED IT.

    How much?

    A Flotilla of Ships, 5000 marines?, Planes, Fuel, Missiles? How much per day? Lets make this a round number and Low ball it. $1,000,000? Per day? Suggest you look up the basic military pay. They Updates it a few years back. So lets TRIPLE that number a few times. $10,000,000. THEn this is based on TRUMP thinking about the economy and SAVING MONEY to make himself look goood. LMAO>>> Lets triple it a few more times. $60,000,000? Am I getting closer?
