    Is that any way to talk about a person who, if you look at their history, is currently regrowing their own teeth with garlic after doing their own root canal using hydrogen peroxide and essential oils?

    To use the phrase "Swiss made" on a watch requires at least 60% of the production occur in Switzerland, 50% of the movement made and assembled in Switzerland, and technical development and final inspection must occur in Switzerland, but the trump watches only say "Swiss Made Tourbillon" and his tourbillon watch actually does use a Swiss made BCP Tourbillon T02 movement, BCP confirmed it to the Swiss press.

    The other cheaper Trump watches say they are using Seiko NH34 and NH35 movements, which are good but standard movements that you can get in $200 watches.

    They likely put these watches together on a watch building site where they clicked the parts they wanted then sent the specs off to be made in China.

    I'll second that suggestion.

    He's always been an animal lover and has done some nature shows but I haven't seen them and don't know if they're funny or serious, but he's good in everything.

    Harris was on Colbert a day or two ago talking about it and she kept calling them tests, which makes it sound like a case of $10 tests. But she did a good job of telling people to remember how hard it was to get tested at the time, how people had to wait in line in their cars for hours, then wait a few days to get the results.

    Also remember Trump kept saying we didn't need to test so much because when we tested a lot it made the number of cases go up., which was so incredibly stupid. I saw a clip where he was on tv ranting that we were testing too much and it turned out to be the very same day he gave those machines to Putin.

    The judge really have her hell, it's worth reading. Another article by The Guardian had this gem:

    "She also told the judge she cannot go to prison because she needs to sleep on a magnetic mattress, which she has been using since 1995 to help with health conditions such as chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia."

    In order to sue you have to show damages. It seems like she can only show benefits. Maybe she can gain more weight than she lost before she goes to court and start dating an asshole or something.

    If my math is correct and we taxed everything over 100 billion at 100% we'd get over 900 billion in taxes. Nearly a trillion bucks if we limited these assholes to a measly 100 billion.

    But different doesn't mean random. An attacker could test every possibility for that pixel rather quickly. Even faster if you know a bunch of the pixels are, for example, a shade of gray.

    I found an explanation where they bring up the issues I brought up as well as some others.

    https://blog.cloudflare.com/lavarand-in-production-the-nitty-gritty-technical-details/

    They give an example with one red value for a single pixel. They don't address my point that there are a lot of pixels like that one, maybe not all would be 50/50 like their example but a lot of pixels would have a much narrower range of values than randomness.

    But they answer my second point about a hacker putting something in front of the camera with known values and that answer sort of takes care of everything. It boils down to, it doesn't matter because the lava lamp wall output is mixed with other sources that an attacker doesn't have access to.

    I'm sure they're smarter than me but my novice cryptographer brain doesn't understand this.

    Isn't the string of numbers representing each pixel rather limited Aren't all those sections of the image that have lava lamps limited to values somewhere in the reddish/blueish spectrum? Isn't the gray background very non-random?

    Apparently the camera is accessible in the lobby. They say people walking in front of the camera adds randomness. If I go there and hold a photo in front of the camera which I know the values of, doesn't that compromise everything?

    To be fair their site says they take the lava lamp output and combine it with entropy from two servers and probably do a lot of other stuff before actually getting random numbers. But I don't get how the lava lamps photo setup is even close to being random

    tried and failed to add image, so here a link: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/lava-lamp-encryption/
