Giuliani? The moron extraordinaire that said Hillary was not in NYC on 9/11 as she stood right next to him? The moron extraordinaire that said "We had no domestic attacks under Bush. We’ve had one under Obama."

“Under those eight years, before Obama came along, we didn’t have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the United States,” Giuliani said.

You have to be pretty damn stupid to say there were no d******c t*******t attacks under Bush when you were the mayor of NYC on 9/11.

And Trumpublicans think Giuliani is some kind of genius!

And when you Trumpublican start screaming that Democrats are trying to steal the e******n, here is the makeup of the board that v**ed UNANIMOUSLY to delay certifying the v**e:

The agency is overseen by a nine-member board – four Democrats, four Republicans and a member not affiliated with either of those parties.

Sorry dotard, but Calexico is nowhere near where the "caravan" people are - it's approximately 128 MILES away. Since the "caravan" is grouped together in Tijuana and under surveillance by both the Mexican and American authorities, this story is just another example of Trump's CBP inventing a story to back up their boss.

If you folk were not Dunning-Kruger poster children you could figure this out.

Of course he did!

TRUMP’s retweet: “I******s can get up to $3,874 a month under Federal Assistance program. Our social security checks are on average $1200 a month. RT (retweet) if you agree: If you weren’t born in the United States, you should receive $0 assistance.”

THE FACTS: Wrong country, wrong numbers, wrong description of legal status of the recipients. Besides that, immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally do not qualify for most federal benefits, even when they’re paying taxes, and those with legal status make up a small portion of those who use public benefits.

The $3,874 refers to a payment made in CANADA, not the U.S., to a legally admitted family of refugees. It was largely a one-time resettlement payment under Canada’s refugee program, not monthly assistance in perpetuity.

My brain is perfectly fine, I can read and comprehend the LAW.

Learn the LAW -

8 U.S. Code § 1158 - Asylum

(a) Authority to apply for asylum
(1) In general
Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum.

The LAW says they have the RIGHT to enter and apply for asylum. I guess YOU are against following the law.

"If I'm elected, you won't lose one plant, you'll have plants coming into this country, you're going to have jobs again, you won't lose one plant. I promise you. I promise you."
— Donald J. Trump


Barely two years later, on the Monday after Thanksgiving, General Motors announced that it was closing major auto plants in Michigan, as well as Ohio and Maryland. Thousands of jobs are being cut, and the future for many of the remaining plants suddenly seems very insecure.

Trump, the candidate who claimed in 2016 that his Democratic rival “hasn’t got a clue” about how to maintain American manufacturing, is now exposed as the president who really hasn’t got a clue about keeping plants open and keeping workers on the job.

Interesting, I find Mojave quite fast, disk speed increased using APFS under Mojave as well for me.

Crashes?? After owning several Macs, going thru OS upgrades from Leopard to Mojave, have yet to see a crash on my Mac.

A reinstall is probably a good idea.


"disk speed increased using APFS under Mojave as well for me" - is patently false. Disk I/O speed is determined by the physical properties of the hard drive or SSD itself - not the OS, not the processor, not the make of the computer, not the day of the week.

I know that you will want to argue, and that is fine, but it doesn't change reality. I worked as a hardware engineer for Apple for seven years, I am an Apple Certified System Administrator (ACSA) as well. Mohave has a lot of great changes, but it has not learned how to change the laws of physics.

Well, actually it is, or is it?

Let's get our brains working this morning with this poser. I've seen a number of comments on this site regarding using small f-stops and diffraction. The typical, don't use small apertures because that causes diffraction. So, what is diffraction? Diffraction of light occurs when a light wave passes by a corner or through an opening or slit that is physically the approximate size of, or even smaller than that light's wavelength. I've added the bold to emphasize the size required. So how big are those sizes?

Visible light has a range of wavelengths of 400 - 700 nanometers. Whoa, how big is a nanometer? It's .000000001 meters or .000000039370 inches. So 400 - 700 nanometers is .0000004 - .0000007 meters or .000015748 - .000027559 inches. These dimensions are quite a bit smaller than any apertures we're using with our cameras.

So getting back to our original statement, f/16 is actually equal to f/16. But, that's because f-stops are ratios. What isn't the same is the diameter of the aperture from one lens focal length to another. For example, let's take two lenses, In this case, we'll examine two Schneider-Kreuznach lenses of focal lengths 150mm and 210mm. At f/16 the aperture opening is:
150 - 9.375mm
210 - 13.125mm

Obviously, a large difference in aperture diameters, but the same f-stop. However, neither is close to the wavelength range of visible light.

Since diffraction occurs as stated above, neither of these measurements are close to the dimensions required to meet the above conditions. So, how would light know which lens it's passing through? Oh, and if you want to make an issue of the "passing by a corner", well, that corner exists at every f-stop, other than perhaps the greatest opening.

The conclusion of this could be that we're parroting some misinformation, making a blanket statement that doesn't cover all situations, or we may be concerning ourselves needlessly. If diffraction does occur, is it observable in our photographs?

Your explanation is patently false. "the approximate size of, or even smaller than that light's wavelength" is pure fantasy as the attached gif's show. The first gif shows diffraction of a scalar wave passing through a 1-wavelength-wide slit, while the second gif shows diffraction of a scalar wave passing through a 4-wavelength-wide slit, thus diffraction does NOT require an opening "the approximate size or even smaller than the wavelength", as four wavelengths is not considered the approximate size in wavelengths in any coherent thought system.

A slit which is wider than a wavelength produces interference effects in the space downstream of the slit. These can be explained by assuming that the slit behaves as though it has a large number of point sources spaced evenly across the width of the slit. The analysis of this system is simplified if we consider light of a single wavelength. If the incident light is coherent, these sources all have the same phase. Light incident at a given point in the space downstream of the slit is made up of contributions from each of these point sources and if the relative phases of these contributions vary by 2π or more, we may expect to find minima and maxima in the diffracted light. Such phase differences are caused by differences in the path lengths over which contributing rays reach the point from the slit.

You are 100% correct about "parroting some misinformation" however.
