This is a pretty decent comparison. Not everyone can have ASD because then it can’t be classified as a disorder. There is a threshold for being diagnosed just as with vision impairment. Those who are diagnosed are on a spectrum from least debilitating to most.

Imagine if you will a scenario in which a photographer, taking more than one picture of an event in time. And then stretch that imagination a little further that said photographer could release some photos in 2019 and then other photos from the same event 6 years later. Then imagine, just for shits and giggles, that a president has a team of people who are managing public perception.

Just so we’re clear my point is it’s weird, not proof of anything, just really fuckin weird considering this guy’s history.

Such a confusing take. You start by saying they used old photo, which is my point, as they are claiming this photo is proof of life, since he hadn’t been seen in three days.

Then you insinuate I am saying it’s not possible for him to wear the same clothes or ride in the same car as 6 years ago.

Sure it’s possible that this is all coincidence and yep he’s got the same SUV and the same clothes and the photographer had to stand at the same location.

I just think the probability is lower that this is proof that Trump is prancing around golf courses kicking balls closer to holes. Just seems a little odd.

Like the probability that someone gets grazed by a bullet and the wound magically disappeared or that politicians create fake files planting the presidents name in them for 30 years. Sure, could happen…

My point is something’s fucky with this whole thing.

The picture in the Mediate article is a cropped version of the one in this article which has been circulating all day.

Look at the license plate, the shoes and clothes.

USB is digital, TRS is analog. All adapters must have a DAC (digital to analog converter) to make that transition. DAC requires power, making it active. DAC in phone will be higher quality to convert to analog. DAC in cheap adapter will be low quality.

A man accused of shooting a man in a wheelchair at Seattle’s Pier 55 last month remains in King County Jail on $750,000 bail, with prosecutors pointing to newly obtained video that captured the confrontation, the gunfire, and his arrest.

Seattle police say the incident happened just after 6 p.m. on July 31 in front of the Starbucks at Pier 55, drawing dozens of witnesses and bystanders who recorded the scene from multiple angles.

In the videos, 32-year-old Gregory William Timm is seen confronting Harold James Powell, a musician who regularly performs for donations along the waterfront. 

Prosecutors say Timm accused Powell of “stolen valor” — falsely claiming to have served in the military.

Footage shows Timm demanding Powell show military identification before ripping a patch off Powell’s wheelchair. 

Moments later, Powell wheels toward Timm and reaches inside his shirt. 

Timm then steps back, retrieves a handgun from a zipped bag, points it, and fires once into Powell’s chest.

Witness video shows Timm standing in place for several minutes afterward, telling emergency responders his gun was in his bag. 

Police detained him at the scene. 

Powell was taken to Harborview Medical Center in serious but stable condition.

Timm opted not to appear in court the following day. A judge found probable cause for assault and robbery. 

His attorney has suggested the shooting was an act of self-defense, but King County Prosecutor’s Office spokesperson Casey McNerthney said that argument will be difficult to sustain.

“A key in self-defense cases is who the first aggressor is,” McNerthney said. “If you provoke an attack upon yourself, you lose the right to claim self-defense.”

Court records show Timm made headlines in 2020 in Jacksonville, Florida, when he was charged with aggravated assault for driving a van into a tent where Trump supporterswere gathered, sending several people running. 

He was later convicted of the lesser charge of criminal mischief. 

Detectives in Seattle have described him as a drifter.

Timm is scheduled to return to court next week, when formal charges could be filed.

Tourism has definitely slowed, but it’s not like in this video. You can confirm this by looking at the live cameras of the strip.

Same is true for the airport videos. Yes travel has slowed pretty significantly but people are exaggerating to get clicks.

While obviously a fail on the part of the publisher, this can be fixed. The back side needs to be made opaque, which can be done numerous way… sharpie, enamel paint, or for something less permanent you can still buy CD labels which are vinyl or paper sheets die cut to the size of a CD and coated with an adhesive.

Probably the best way to fix this is to just download the file and play it from a device like a civilized person.

American Apparel was relaunched as Los Angeles Apparel and is very successful and working out of the same location as the original.
