  • My old FM BT transmitter that let me connect to my car had a surprising range, bout about a 100ft in every direction which as I understand it they aren’t supposed to be that strong. (Scosche brand from Best Buy)

    Used to tune it to the popular country station and jam everyone around me from listening to that station, which made me happy. Couple times when there was a particularly loud or obnoxious driver…I definately didn’t blast porn hub with my stereo off in my car…

    Tangent.

    One of my last concerts I went to was Meshuggah

    Had a great time.



  • I’m trying to find any kind of statistics on the number of unicorporated towns, i cant find any, can you point me in a direction? Wiki article? Texas gov site? Federal gov site?

    I’m not doubting your 4k number. It got me curious as to how many unincorporated towns there are.

    Since texas is approx 30mil people and largest state land wise (unless alaska is bigger?)

    I dont think your 60k number holds up. I think your rough math was completely off, but you could be right. Having a hard time getting anywhere finding out those numbers.

    I’m not asking you to go look, I’m just asking for a place I can start looking.

    Edit: when i say statistics a simple counted number or approximation, or just a list of town names is all i need



  • So then the problem is exit polls, not voting gotcha.

    If there is something wrong with exit polls thats not the same thing as votes.

    That difference is essential to understand isnt it? Votes didn’t have to change for exit polls to be manipulated.

    And the entire hanging Chad bull shit from gore/bush should never have happened either. Paper solves nothing in this instance.

    Corruption of media and political groups sure, that’s a problem… Everywhere though.

    Exit polls are voluntary, and are internally prone to people lying.

    You jumping to “votes got changed” needs to be verified. And the voting systems themselves were not found to have been manipulated. That leaves polling stations/systems needing to be checked… Not just the reporting on those exit polls.

    Regardless, I’m not trying to change your opinion on whether you think votes were changed, the point your claim that MAGA got this right has no evidence, just opinion.

    They also got vaccines wrong, abortion wrong, masking wrong.

    I’m truly sorry you feel they got these things right.











  • It was literally in the article explaining that this was presented as the victim impact statement.

    Have you learned nothing about modern “news” ? Dont be part of the problem of spreading misinformation, be diligent and responsible. And ita okay to make mistakes, own them and move forward. Its not easy to get your information correct everytime, theres no shame in that, only in ignoring your responsibility to self correct voluntarily when you find out

    Peace be upon you, we need to work together, because even though I’m calling out the inaccuracy in your comment, i do believe using this technology for this purpose is heinous

    Edit: from the NPR article as its not paywalled

    But the use of AI for a victim impact statement appears novel, according to Maura Grossman, a professor at the University of Waterloo who has studied the applications of AI in criminal and civil cases. She added, that she did not see any major legal or ethical issues in Pelkey’s case.

    “Because this is in front of a judge, not a jury, and because the video wasn’t submitted as evidence per se, its impact is more limited,” she told NPR via email.
