I know one thing for sure - I don't know as much about electronics as the inventors I work with, and I don't know as much as James or Brian!  There is no substitute for a career when it comes to depth of knowledge.

As far as ff goes, I'm guessing it rhymes with "duck face" but not 100% sure.  Rich sure likes to dish out the names.  Pretty ironic that his master rhetorical trick this afternoon has been to call you and me both (in the same post!) something along the lines of "little boy."

What Trump has been tweeting out in the last few hours is bananas, coo-coo for cocoa puffs insanity, and apparently, Richard buys into and endorses all of it.

All that talk about turning into a 3rd world country and they interfere with the peaceful transition, just like in the third world.

Here's what the Trumptoids were up to before they stormed and occupied the capitol. They were laying the groundwork:
"Using hashtags such as #StormTheCapitol and #StopTheSteal, users of the conservative online networks Parler and Gab celebrated Wednesday’s clashes and offered to serve as “back up.”
“AT THIS POINT, INSURRECTION ACT, MARTIAL LAW AND RUN THEM THE FUCK OVER WITH A MILITARY OPTION!!!” one Parler commenter wrote.'
"On the homepage of thedonald.win, a popular online forum for Trump fans, the majority of Monday’s top 50 posts about the election certification featured comments calling for violence, according to an analysis by the disinformation research organization Advance Democracy Inc.
"One recent post said protesters should “not let [anyone] disarm someone without stacking bodies,” adding that they should be “ARMED WITH RIFLE, HANDGUN, 2 KNIVES AND AS MUCH AMMO AS YOU CAN CARRY,”
“Take your motherfucking guns,” one TikTok user declared. “That’s the whole point of going.”
"Meanwhile, insurrectionists are waving Confederate flags and refusing to vacate the Capitol, to the great delight of Trump-loving trolls online."

I can assure you that I no intention of listening to CNN, NBC, CBS, etc. to be "told" how to think about the matter. I suspect that there was a great deal of leftist agitation involved in the situation.

Really, who told you it was leftist agitation. All I saw were Trump flags, beards, and beer bellies.
