2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
He fails to mention that the US debt cannot be paid off. The money needed to pay it off must be loaned into existence, thereby creating more debt.

The fourth Saturday in November is Holodomor Memorial Day
https://panow.com/2021/11/27/holodomor-memorial-day-a-time-to-reflect-on-victims-of-genocide-and-famine/ This genocide was covered up for over 50 years, and many countries still do not recognize it as a genocide. The US and Canada only recently officially recognized it as a genocide (2006 and 2008).

Things seem to be going quite well for Joe Biden
Guliani says he wants to slow roll it so your prediction may be right. The article above claiming fake emails based on some amateur analysis of a pdf is what I was responding to.

The FBI either has the laptop with original emails and headers (not just pdfs) or it doesn't. Those emails can be validated. As for FBI refuting DOJ/Pres, it's happened before: FBI chief Wray refutes Barr, says no 'spying' on Trump campaign

Pixelization could be due to any number of reasons (innocent or otherwise). Grab the email headers and DKIM them for cryptographic proof of whether they are authentic emails. Either the FBI has the emails (and headers) and can validate them, or they don't have them and are choosing not to refute the statement by repair shop guy that they do.

Whatcha reading?
Finished The Forgotten 500 about WW II aircrews going on bombing runs over heavily defended Romanian oil fields. The damaged bombers that couldn't make it back meant their crews were captured, unless they were able to hide with help from the locals. The trapped airmen and the locals came up with a plan to bring in rescue planes without alerting the nearby Germans, while also trying to avoid running afoul of the official policies of the US State Department. Several involved received medals/awards which remained classified for decades after the war ended (for reasons I won't spoil here).

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Yep., what Windows wants to do always takes priority over what I want to do. Started making the switch to Linux about a year and a half ago, and changed over completely about 9-10 months ago.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Two-factor authentication SMS messages that don't show the number in the notification preview, and when opened, are too long to fit on the full screen, requiring me to scroll up to find the number. With a message like "123456 This is your auth number blah blah blah", I can just glance at the screen and type in the number. With a message like "This is some company and your auth number is 123456. If you didn't request this blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" I need to open the message and scroll.

Productivity Software - What are your essentials?
If you're using the AES256 encryption, and not ZipCrypto, then 7zip with a password of 12 or more characters is good. If you want something for encryption without the compression aspect, look at VeraCrypt

Whatcha reading?
Chaos makes a convincing case that they did a hell of a lot worse than that. The author Tom O'Neill presents documentation and evidence that casts doubt on the official story of the Manson murders and more.

Your inappropriate LOL/can't stop laughing moments...
At my father's funeral and the time comes for everyone to stand. I'm sitting in the front pew and need to push on something with my arms to be able to stand, so I push on the backrest of the pew. Everyone else in the pew has already stood up, so pushing on the backrest tips the pew backward, I catch myself, and the pew thuds back into place without tipping over. My cousin in the row behind me sees this happen and the next time we're supposed to stand, he tries to inconspicuously hold my pew in place by standing right behind it and leaning into it with his legs to keep it stable. I don't notice him do this and swing my arm over the backrest to stand again, causing an audible "hhhhggggg" from him as I hit him in the balls. I tried to think of anything else for the rest of the funeral, but had to suppress laughter/snorts every time I thought about it again.
