I've brought up this exact point before...it's one thing to be able to count the number of vowels or instances of one word in a million-word document in a few hundred milliseconds, it's another to be able to read and comprehend sentences.
This is a mathematical puzzle and not engineering one. Better hardware won't get you any closer to solving this problem.

Stalemate again it looks like. And talk of the Blue/White party not wanting to agree on any unity coalition government that includes Bibi staying on as Prime Minister and the Likud's saying they will never let another party name who should lead Likud. I think Netanyahu stays on and they pretty much bypass him for most of the stuff.Ivytalk wrote:Things not looking good for Bibi Netanyahu as the ballots are counted. “The Arabs are coming!

No, they’re reporting the news. Strange to see, I know, if you watch the rest of MSM...don’t see much real news on there as they spend 98% of their time trying to get Trump impeached.Chizzang wrote:Fox News is doing their UFO's are real thing again...

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Another witch hunt?
The whistleblower complaint that has triggered a tense showdown between the U.S. intelligence community and Congress involves President Trump’s communications with a foreign leader, according to two former U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
Trump’s interaction with the foreign leader included a “promise” that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted an official in the U.S. intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general for the intelligence community, said the former officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
It was not immediately clear which foreign leader Trump was speaking with or what he pledged to deliver, but his direct involvement in the matter has not been previously disclosed. It raises new questions about the president’s handling of sensitive information and may further strain his relationship with U.S. spy agencies. One former official said the communication was a phone call.
The White House declined to comment late Wednesday night. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence and a lawyer representing the whistleblower declined to comment.
Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson determined that the complaint was credible and troubling enough to be considered a matter of “urgent concern,” a legal threshold that requires notification of congressional oversight committees.

Hard to say. Two anon sources with an unknown foreign leader with a promise of something....kalm wrote:Another witch hunt?
Could be he promised Trudeau asylum when he's run out of Canada for the atrocities of black face.
Maybe he promised Kim Jong Un a round of golf at one of his courses with no spectators so he can post an 18.
Dunno.

Trump's defense:
If the President decided that he wanted to share, or provide, or promise something sensitive, then he has full authority under the law to do that. The public may not love what he promised, but he does have the authority under the law to do that.
