Got it. As I suspected.

Internet speed test ... does it measure the speed from/to my device, or from my modem? That is, if I run the speed test from a laptop connected via a wifi router to a cable modem, does it measure the speed from/to my laptop or the cable modem?

Ok :) Just FYI, I amended my post to say April and May, rather than March and April.

Where is the spike? It has only just started. For most of the year, with the exception of April and May, we've seen only hundreds of deaths per day in the US. Since the middle of Nov, we're seeing thousands. https://covid19.who.int/region/amro/country/us https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths

Approximately 7,452 people die every day in the US. With the current covid daily death count at about 2 - 3 thousand, that is between 26 and 40 percent of the daily deaths, if they could all attributed to the virus. That seems fairly significant to me...

Just my opinion. If you are going to prepare, prepare for the worst.

Well, whatever you think the death rate is, it would be good to figure this thing out now, in preparation for a future pandemic. You know, the one that is just as contagious, but kills 25% - 50% of those infected. It's coming.

First of all, you shouldn't think of trading stocks as an investment. Trading stocks (if you are lucky) may provide an income. If you buy and hold stocks, that is more of an investment. So the question becomes, do you want an income or do you want to make an investment for the future?

One way to find out. Why don't you get verified by say, bitstamp, send them some money or other cryptos, buy some XRP and then give your wallet address to these folks. Then see what happens. Here is the address in the email I got by clicking on their button...

I just got the following email, apparently from "Team Ripple". But the sender's email is:Team Ripple <noreply@invidia1973.com>. Could this be a scam to get wallet addresses? Subject: Economic rebound for the XRP Community planned for December 2020 Our full financial commitment in moving...

I want to bump this up again.

If you are talking about down ballot issues, then yes, I am concerned. Anyway, we should seek accuracy for accuracy's sake, whatever the outcome.

To tell you the truth, I'm not so concerned with incorrect data showing up on news outlets. I take the news (w/r to an election) with a grain of salt). However, I am concerned with actual election results.

I haven't done the math, but I suspect that if all of those votes were overturned, it would not be enough to overturn the election (290-214=76 electoral votes). The reason to pursue accuracy is for future elections.

I don't think the Senate will be decided until the runoff election for GA in January. No one is taking this for granted.

You don't have to have much of an imagination to visualize vote by mail ballot fraud (or even error, for that matter). I'm not saying that it necessarily occurred, but IMHO, going forward, this is not the way to run an election.

Just FYI. a liberal Democrat would never talk like this. Anyone care to venture why?

One party rule tends to be a bad thing. The US system (and other democratic systems) basically ensure(s) that that won't happen. Contrary to popular belief, having divisions in government is not necessarily a bad thing. Divisions tend to keep everyone honest. Divisions lend themselves to...

>Increasing the senate by population makes no sense. Agreed. The Senate was created specifically to prohibit this (the Connecticut Compromise). In the Senate, each state gets equal representation, no matter it's population, unlike in the House of Representatives.

Agreed.
