down on the server farm

I think there is some kind of quantum thing where that uncertainty thing inhabits the spaces between those positive and negative charges (or is it positive or negative and neutral) between the bytes where over time the info (ones and zeros) on our magnetic media will inevitably go bad after awhile.  I remember coming across corrupted files pretty often maybe twenty years ago, but  not so much anymore.  Have they done something since then to make electronic data more stable?

How stable is the internet?  Seems pretty stable now. Maybe every other month mine goes out for like fifteen minutes and of course I am all upset, because, because I can't even get on the internet to find out what the problem might be.  The main thing about the internet is that almost everybody is on it. What kind of infrastructure does that take?  There are all these server farms (Boy I would love to tour a server farm, probably nothing to see except rows and columns of machines in a dark and cold room, hopefully a lot  of blinking lights, likely the soft thrum of all those server heads tracing ghostly paths among the grooves (are they grooves or do the ones and zeros (Did you know it's zeros when we are talking about two or more zeros, but zeroes when we are using it as a verb as in the American jet zeroes in on the commie Mig.  I learned this on the internet just now) sitting flat on a plate of, of whatever) of the disks.). But somehow all those ones and zeros must go into some machine that drills them down into cables and up into the airwaves,  Hard to believe that the whole thing works isn't it?

That DNA thing sounds like a bunch of hooey.  I imagine what they do is get some kind of average of the DNAs of all the countries in the world and give you the one which one you most resemble.  But surely there are all different kinds of DNAs in different parts of the country and parts that were parts of other countries previously and parts that now belong to different countries, and then there is Sandy sneaking down the backstairs.  I think one of those guys on the commercials thought he was Italian but then it turned out he was central European.  No wonder his lasagna tasted so crappy,


The main thing they are investigating is all those connections between the Russkies and Trumpworld, and why Trumpworld consistently lied about it, and won't tell what they were talking to the Russkies about, and generally stymie the investigation at every turn.

It's accepted by both sides that the Russkies were trying to interfere with our election, so doesn't the fact that Trumpworld was playing footsie on the sly with the Russkies make for a whole lot of smoke and the distinct possibility of fire?

The Trumpists claim that there is no evidence of fraud at the polls (well there are those five million illegal votes by illegals, but I think he has dropped that (correction, just hasn't tweeted lately about it, he might start on it again tomorrow if the mood strikes him).).  See this is a typical Trumpist dodge. Nobody is accusing the Russkies of interfering with the polls.  The Trumpist ignore the charges against them and deny something else that they are not accused of.

The investigation is into all those communications between the Turmpists and all those Russian shenanigans, and could they have been colluding in some way.

Of course nobody listens to the Russian media, but the Russkies make up stories and get them planted in the internet where they sprout on places like Brietbart (that big girl pizzeria pederasty ring) and look like American stories.


I think the Republicans kind of knew that Nixon was kind of a crook, but they liked him because he was there nominee and won the election (sound familiar?).  When they found out how big a crook it was more than they could take.  That was then.  So far in Trump's term they refuse to acknowledge what a buffoon he is. It's yet to be seen if they ever will.


That chess game thing, it would be so cool, think of the money we would save on armies.  But I've been thinking about it and I can't see how it cold possibly ever come to pass.
