On another couple of related notes...
First up, this caught my eye from the keypoint summary I linked just above. I've wanted to mention it before.
I take an interest in Airplanes/Fighter Jets/Bombers - that kind of thing. It always struck me how much the F-35 was obviously copied by the Chinese.
New images of China’s FC-31 Gyrfalcon stealth prototype have been doing the rounds of social media. According to a photograph circulating on the social media network, Weibo, that could not be verified, it suggests that the jet has undergone modifications. Indian vs Chinese Air Force: Why China...

China Builds ‘Exact Replica’ Of US’ Stealth F-35 Jets
FC-31, that strives to match the American F-35, is pictured with its fuel-guzzling afterburners as it attains altitude. The logo of state-owned developer the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) is also clearly visible on the jet.
Now this might be total bollox, but it always stuck at the back of my mind - is this just a coinkydinky?
Up till now you could always tell your Migs from your Sukhois from your Eagles from your Tornadoes. But suddenly this final generation of jets (before it all goes Drone) seem to look the same. Mmmm...
Now it's well known that China copies, steals in fact. Japan actually gets the blueprints legally and from the time they started being the recipients of the outsourcing of the American Fender Stratocaster, for one example, they did a better job of it than the Yanks. Miniaturization of components for computers, etc. etc. is another field where they embrace, extend and exemplify. But the fucking chinks just rob everyone blind. That's a given.
I think the Japs even have their version of American tech with F-35's, Eagles and Phantoms. I'm no expert. But fuck, the chinks weren't meant to get that kind of shit were they? It looks exactly the fucking same. But nobody says anything. Enough sperging about that. Maybe some one can page Bone Buddy who posts here some times (forget his proper handle).
Somebody fucking somewhere sold this tech to them. And this is not just at the expense of American jobs and economics, it's at the expense of sharing your military fucking secrets with your greatest enemy. The very fucking definition of treason. These people need to hang, not even in minecraft, but according to the laws of the land.

Then there was this that I noticed when I reposted the Hunter Biden signature for the laptop -
"3 macbook pros."
"3 macbook pros."
Again, I might be late. I'm not sherlock fucking holmes. But that is 3 macbooks, all for data recovery. Is this where the 3 hard drives thing comes from? I'm lost. I'll admit it. And that 85 bucks fee must only be a covering cost because you can spend thousands of bucks recovering important data from a hard disk. From a single hard disk. Triple that price for three of them. Again, why is this place attempting data recovery - that stuff is usually done in clean rooms by special forensics bods that know wtf they are doing. I'm spitballing here. But there is no fucking way on earth you get to recover data from 3 HD's for less than a hundred bucks. Yet that was all they were booked in for. I imagine that was just a place holder fee and they would have branched that out to specialist companies. Still, it seems odd to use the term 'data recovery' without knowing exactly that that was what was needed. I'm explaining it poorly. Maybe some of you tech bods could chip in and say if it's a standard kind of thing. It's kind of important, still.

And finally, always save the best for last. Not sure if this has been posted but I haven't seen it -
Biden describes granddaughter at 12 as a 'little butterfly' but then there was 'a snake in the bed'
Now, we all know that women are just fucking snakes with tits, and they should never have been allowed to vote, and as soon as we can we are going to whip those little preggie pills back off them so they can't carry on with their treacherous hypergamy against the human race. But fucking hell, what the fuck is this?
The former vice president, 76, held hands with his granddaughter, Finnegan, 19, daughter of Hunter Biden, when he described what it was like to raise a young girl. He said, "When your daughter's about 12 and half years old you put this little butterfly in bed and you kiss it goodnight. Next morning you walk in and there's a snake in the bed."
Finnegan Biden looked uncomfortable and Biden's comment was met with some awkward chuckling from the crowd before his quickly segued into speaking about his sharply-criticized performance in the Democratic debate.
Video:
Sure, ol' Creepy Joe '
who's so crooked he needs to screw his pants on in the morning' Biden, is a little senile, but he looked pretty fucking lucid here, almost calling Finnegan a 'little cunt'. A snake with tits...
JFC.
I need to lie down. Actually, I am lying down. So I'll just post this -
