Its even more ludicrous than that.

Not only are there a significant amount of American Christians who... believe that Trump is a / one of the AntiChrists / Beasts from Revelation...

I have actually met some who believe that, and still vote for him.

Much of American Christianity is a literal apocalyptic death cult.

Many Christian Zionists are actively antisemitic, yet at the same time, vehemently support Israel... because they believe in some rough variation of the plot line from the 'Left Behind' books/movies.

Israel has to be wiped out or under serious threat of that for their preferred version of the apocalypse to take place, and they cynically support everything that makes that more likely to occur... so that Jesus can come back.

1I don't really know why <> was chosen as the old school 'not equal' for the SQL syntax... I just know it by way of having been working with/in various forms of SQL for... 20+ years?

If I had to guess, it may have something to do with keeping the character set down to a bare minimum.

SQL is fucking old, its been improved and modified and evolved over the years, but, it was first invented and formalized back in 1973, when you still had computer (storage) memory as basically giant spools of magnetic tape, personal computers didn't really exist yet, having 8 KiloBytes of RAM would have been considered astoundingly powerful, years ahead of its time.

Thats uh, 0.0000076294 GigaBytes of RAM, or I think about 512x less than what a basic Nintendo 64 had.

Most American Protestants do believe in it.

Roughly 40% of Americans believe we are currently living in the End Times, ie, the Rapture could happen at any moment.

You may also note the Baptist author of this article is suprised these numbers are not higher.

Those things, and needing to prop up the commercial realestate market.

Elon's Boca Chica launch facility is a nightmare of violating all kinds of environmental and safety regulations, going way beyond the scope of what it was originally permitted and cleared for.

This is from 3+ years ago now, and most of the shit brought up here got poo-poo'd online by ravenous Musk sycophants, and seems to have just led to nothing actually happening in terms of some kind of a lawsuit or punishment for Musk or SpaceX...

... and of course, its all only gotten worse with more time.

SpaceX launches showering debris over the Caribbean, latest rocket being prepped to be the next IFT launch just fucking detonated while being fueled, damaged much of the rest of the complex... and the complex itself is now a bunch of very densely packed storage tanks, which easily could have also all blown up if that most recent on pad explosion played out just a bit differently, or maybe a landing capture/catch attempt goes wrong.

Musk's whole... reason for having the chopsticks catch system is that he doesn't want to spring for a larger launch facility with things safely spaced out, he doesn't wanna pay for something akin to the giant NASA crawler vehicle that moves rockets something like a mile or so from the VAB to the actual launch/fueling site at Cape Canaveral.

There's no actual compelling reason for the lower stage, Booster, to not just have landing legs, like the Falcons. Its not going to get 'refurb, refly' times to even within two orders of magnitude of what he's shooting for. The fastest ever turn around time on a Falcon is like, 3ish weeks... and he's talking about launching multiple Starship+Boosters in a single day now.

To date, no Starship nor Booster has ever been re-used without suffering a catastrophic loss on that re-use. He is no where near a re-usable fleet of these things.

Err, well, there is actually a real reason for the chopsticks, and all the rest of his nonsense: His engines aren't as powerful or reliable or fuel efficient as he said they were for years.

But he can't actually directly say that or else SpaceX probably goes bankrupt or at best gets pared down to just running Falcons.

He recently revised Starship+Booster down to only being capable of 50 tons to LEO, not the long touted 100 tons.

He then proceeded to have ... 2, 3? Catastrophic failures on 'test' launches where the claim is that they're being done for the 'data', when the obvious fact is that no almost no useful data of any kind is being gained from all this.

Whats going on is quality control sucks, Musk/SpaceX have no idea how to actually properly assemble these things, oh right and the design is fundamentally flawed, but its fine, because Starship 2 and 3 are gonna come out... some time later.

You know, like how Roadster v2 is gonna come out any day now, for the past decade, how all Tesla cars will suddenly become perfectly fully autonomous, any day now, for the last decade.

From the article:

Kevin Bagnall, a lawyer representing Musk’s rocket company SpaceX, also wrote a letter to Paxton’s office arguing the emails should be kept secret. He cited one main reason: They contain “commercial information whose disclosure would cause SpaceX substantial competitive harm.”

Most of the rest of Bagnall’s letter, which further explained SpaceX’s argument, was redacted.

Musk and representatives for his companies did not respond to requests for comment for this story.

imo, Abbot and Musk are and have been colluding to maunever around SpaceX's frequent and flagrant violations, to get investigations stalled, to get authorizations rubber stamped... so they communicate outside official channels to pull this off.

=D

As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free

Still brings a tear to my long since deconverted eye.

The uber (edit: eldritch?) baby boomer steals his literal participation trophy, to make everything all about him, while angrily rejecting all criticism and calls for accountability for his many crimes.

He really is the perfect boomer.

I wonder if this person feels the same way about scare crows.

Best not to assume, wouldn't want to strawman them.

#OhNoWhyIsContraPointsTrendingAgain

Run them in a test sandbox environment, maybe run some network analytics to see if weird outbound or inbound calls start getting made... hope they are not more clever than your sandbox environment.

For APKs specifically... official support for Hypatia from the original team ended last year, but a 'MaintainTeam Organization' seems to be attempting to pick up the slack, and keep updating with new malware signatures.

https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/org.maintainteam.hypatia

https://github.com/MaintainTeam/Hypatia

... not sure if its... actually getting regular updates though.

EDIT: derp, yeah

Also, as upstroke says, do a hash comparison from the actual proper source to verify you aren't getting a malformed or spoof version of whatever APK.

<> is 'not equal' in SQL syntax

!= is another one for 'not equal' in SQL, and a good deal of other languages, but I went with <> because of the ls and Is, <> is more visually distinct.
