@kmixbye Portability. I can have 100 books on my Kindle that I take everywhere in the world with me. I can also borrow ebooks from the library from the comforts of home. I was a skeptic until I got the Kindle Paperwhite.

Wow found out today that SFO has its own private security after one of my founders in SF said "What security issues? It took me 20 minutes today." SF is truly different lol

If people want to know why Gen X is always mad, it's because we had to replace our record collections with a tape collection and then replace that with a CD collection that we slowly replaced with an MP3 collection and now need a subscription to listen to music.

🚨🚨BOMBSHELL: "Jane Doe #4 alleged to the FBI that Epstein abused her when she was 14, and that trump abused her when she was 15. Kahn, Epstein's accountant, testified that the Epstein estate settled with Jane Doe #4 for BOTH Epstein and trump." HOLY SHIT.🤬

@bigseb31213 I can imagine all the intel collection assets and personnel they have there. Getting to collect real signatures and data they can't get in peacetime.

🚨 Something very interesting is happening in East Asia... A USAF RC-135S Cobra Ball flew along the Korean Peninsula. This aircraft is not normal, it is used to track ballistic missiles and monitor launches in real time. When Cobra Ball is active, it usually means someone is watching for missile activity. The timing right now makes this even more serious.

@ewong There were quite a few senior US military who asserted for most of the past five years that China intended to go to war by 2027, if not sooner, and some others who thought it useful as framing for their agendas.

There were a few mid-level US officials who asserted publicly years ago that Xi had set a hard deadline of 2027 for a PLA invasion of Taiwan, but most serious analysts saw no evidence of that, nor did the US intelligence community ever have a consensus assessment saying that.
Shashank Joshi@shashj

I don't think the new ODNI assessment on Taiwan is much of a "shift", as suggested here. US never thought 2027 was a deadline, but a date by which Xi wanted the PLA to be ready. Not did it think PRC wanted to use force over other means. wsj.com/world/china/ch…

@ewong It was always a guestimate based on "gut feeling" to align with what the politicians wanted to hear. DoD had to justify spending all its time and effort to update OPLAN 5077, and the IC had to justify all the fancy analytic efforts they were doing on the topic.

@jorfolle I'm reading Fire On The Lake, and the description of the differences between the NLF cadres and South Vietnames officials pretty much were on the mark about this.
