I am still entertained by Rich's most spectacular, truly epic DOX fail! I'm not going to correct him here, but it is pretty darned funny.Originally Posted by James Lacey
Richard loves trying to DOX people when all his other avenues of personal attack have failed. And he's had some spectacular failures here in that regard. This is why you never give him any personal information.
Georgia Senate RunoffsPosted By James Brown |
Hi James:Originally Posted by James LaceyI rarely start threads, but I thought we could use one to follow the Georgia Senate Runoffs.

According to 538, the Democrats certainly have an edge. I doubt that the recent revelations about Trump's one-hour phone call with Raffensperger will greatly impact the election. At this point, minds are made up, and the ground games are finished. Will there be another red-mirage as early-voting ballots come in later? Will both Democrats win, will it be split, or will the Republicans seize the day? Whatever happens, it should be fun to watch.

"So what" is the best response you have? How disappointing. You challenged James and Brian's electronics knowledge. You specifically said to James, "and by the way, I've forgotten more about electronics than you'll ever know, so you might want to stick to what you know...."Originally Posted by Richard Davis
Yeah, and so what?

If the R's have in fact been focusing on Trump's "stolen election" fantasy, while the D's have been getting out the vote, then the R's deserve to lose. To the detriment of the country, in my opinion, although Joe Manchin has stated that the really aggressive D policies are non-starters.Originally Posted by James Lacey
One interesting question to consider is, will Trump's insistence on the election being rigged affect voter turnout or not? There was some evidence that Republican voters were threatening to sit the election out to punish Republicans for not fighting harder to support Trump in his claims. Another possibility is that the same rhetoric has energized Democrats. I've also read Stacey Abrams and Democrats have been running a strong ground game to get new voters registered and increase turn out. We will see.

Actually I know quite a bit about electronics, given that I have an electrical engineering undergraduate degree and several of my patent clients are engineering firms. Also, my other hobby is audio. I have built many analog stereo components. Point to point wiring and/or circuit boards. Admittedly, some of the circuits are old (as in 1930's old) but it is a lot of fun. These old analog circuits are where chokes and capacitors are king!Originally Posted by Richard Davis
you might want to know what you are talking about first, before you attempt to get into a colloquy with me.

Still living in the land of Oz? When did I accuse that numbnuts of not knowing anything about electronics? You might want to reread the thread and then kick your feeble brain in gear and realize the error you are making.
And you will have to refresh my memory BB as to the time I exploded. When was that? Didn't happen. LOL.
You're going to have to come with something better than making up stories for the entertainment of your leftist pals here.
Have you got anything else?

Perhaps the real question is whether it is immoral for us to encourage and engage a disturbed individual. I worry about that some, but then I go ahead and engage. Now and then Rich shows a spark of wit and humor, and that reassures me. If he ever admitted he was wrong though, I might pass out.Originally Posted by James Lacey
Fundamental concepts too. Knowing what a full-wave bridge rectifier is or why inductors or capacitors, or diodes are useful is not exactly cutting edge. The real question here is, of course, why is it so hard for Richard to admit he was wrong?

Radio frequency... ya lightweight!Originally Posted by Brian McFarland
That's pretty cool. In my senior year in college my lab partner and I were required to design and build a solid-state stereo pre-amp and power amplifier that met RIAA standards for flatness within 1 dB from 20-20K Hz. They had a turntable and speakers to hook it to at the end of the project and it sounded great. That's a fond memory!
As far as hobbies go, I've designed and build a number of telescope drives - that was a lot of fun too. For work I've been doing mostly RF stuff for the Navy.

Court packing of course, getting rid of the legislative filibuster, defunding the police or supporting cities and states that move to defund the police, Medicare for all, massive student loan forgiveness, and probably more. Going off the top of my head here. Gotta get back to that grill!Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
Other than your fixation of "packing the courts" that you seem to refer to frequently in your posts on the matter, what are the "really aggressive D policies" that are non starters?
Georgia Senate RunoffsPosted By James Brown |
We’ll have to wait and see of course, there will certainly be policies I disagree with that are approved over the next two years, before we return to gridlock. But you know me, I think the system is plenty robust enough to turn back anything too radical. JimOriginally Posted by Rod Kaufman
Defunding the police will not happen nor is called for or supported by the incoming Biden administration. Ditto for medicare for all. Court reform remains to be seen. Doubtful on the filibuster but that comes up to some extent in every administration. Student loan forgiveness might happen if Republican balk at more stimulus.
That all ya got?
