You fundamentally misunderstand Occams Razor. In the choice even between classified satellites and classified satellites with weapons, the former clearly has fewer presuppositions.
Show us evidence, until then it’s just a conspiracy theory.
I trawled through your profile a bit, enough to see that you’re reasonably well meaning, but both steeped in biased propaganda and having issues from the many broken systems in the US.
My question however is how you believe that Trump will make your life better?
From my perspective (from Europe), you’re exactly the type of person Trump loves grifting off of. Last time he did a lot of killing off lower middle class jobs, plundering your workers rights, protections and wages, mismanaging or dismantling support systems like healthcare, infrastructure, disaster readiness, while also increasing taxes on you. Oh, and also bumbled through the pandemic and disaster responses causing more than a million unnecessary deaths.
He also openly broke the law, got very questionable payments coinciding with odd policy changes, and leaked/sold national secrets not only betraying the institutions, but the nation itself.
He’s also a known adulterer, liar, slanderer, prideful cheat.
So that would seem to disqualify him as a good pick for either policy, statesmanship, patriotism, or moral reasons.
The only remaining reason then seems to be feelings, no?
Feel free to tell me what Trump does better than Biden, for your life and/or for the nation, or whatever other perspective is more important for you.

Oh, so Trump is now running on the glory of the German republic? Seems like an odd shift in campaign strategy. /s
“Reich” doesn’t mean “Nazi”.
That might be true in german. But Trump’s addressing the US, and particularly a demographic known to a) not speak german, b) associate "Reich"with the propaganda of the Aryan Third Reich of Nazi propaganda, which was the ideal to be ushered in by (and excuse) the Holocaust, Secret Police, Ghettos, systematic execution of homosexuals/disabled/colored, the subjugation of the lesser races, and other pastimes of the notoriously sympatico nazis.
The best by date is in 2 days. I know about the water test for egg freshness so I’m not super concerned, but please give me ideas for using them up within a week or so 🥺 I’ve boiled a few and am planning to make some cookie dough, but that only counts for half a dozen.
Covid had plenty of travel restrictions, took less than a week to set them up. There’s already issue with people being falsely flagged as terrorist or other no-flight risk, and with some of the anti-leftist rhetoric it’s not a big leap to make. Also it’s entirely in line with Russia labelling LGBT as terrorists, which several GOP/MAGAts are breathing heavily over.
I hope you’re right, I just don’t see anything but decorum stopping them, and they’ve repeatedly thrown that out the window.
You’re right to be sceptical until more data is presented, but saying no claim of progress is ever true is quite obviously a gross misrepresentation of our current reality. You are doing this on digital devices interconnected with millions of users ar staggering speed and latency. Every part of which are scientific claims.
Good reasons to omit details include brevity, legibility, pedagogy and scope.
Showing the supporting evidence for all steps in an evidence chain is simply not feasible, and we commonly have to accept that a certain presupposed level of knowledge as well as ambiguity is necessary. And much of the challenge is to be precise enough in the things that need precision.
Heat is electromagnetic radiation - photons, sound is mechanical displacement - phonons.
They mostly propagate the same due to being waves, in most other respects they are very different.
Heat convection is an entirely separate process where heat radiation is aided by the movement of the surrounding medium. Where it would otherwise heat up it’s environment, convection keeps the environment from heating up. Compare coffee in a thermos (very little convection) to a cup you’re blowing on (significant convection); more air movement - more cooling.
Also, destructive interference does not at all work like that.
Maybe a more useful analogy could be that waves have like walking animations, where in part of the animation they go up, and in another part they go down. Destructive interference happens when a wave in its’ “up” phase crosses a wave in it’s “down”, meaning the resulting movement looks like nothing. The waves don’t however interact in any way, and will continue on their way and on their own animation cycles.
The shifting and heating parts are technically true but require very specific circumstances, enough so that I’m more prone to believe it’s another misunderstanding of the physics behind this. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
The cult know the law is on it’s way, and must now accelerate their plans for the final ritual to summon the dark lord to protect them and show the world the Might That Will Usher In the New Era.
Fortunately, the hapless adventurers could be just the sacrifice needed to boost the final steps.
If you need to kill time, the ritual might be preceded by a set of cage fights to find the most worthy sacrifice. Or an elaborate set of trials. Or they’re stripped of equipment and/or drained of magic before having to fight themselves out of the situation long enough for the cavalry to get there.
Bonus out is both the summoned Big Bad as a boss fight, or if they derail, they might find themselves fighting the High Priest and their most enthusiastic lieutenant/followers while they perform a ritual that adds puzzle like elements to the fight (the boss priest has a shield as long as the followers live, or elemental pillars that have to be destroyed before damaging the priest, etc).
Of course the cavalry arrives just in time, and the mob of townsfolk spread out to fight the cultists, so that only a few arrive to aid at the boss fight.
The cult can’t kill the adventurers yet, because they have to prepare the compound for the onslaught of the law and mob. They need to prepare arrows and reagents for the palisades/walls, prepare wards/rituals/cauldrons of hot water, organise the defensive teams, and the High priest needs their guards to protect the ritual of the demolition wave that will wipe out the assailants/everything outside the ritual circle for a mile wide radius after a long ritual that in it’s haste is leaking dangerous magics making a fight in the ritual room that much more hazardous.
The captured adventurers of course escape their improvised cages/fetters in time to sabotage and/or infiltrate the defences and let the law and mob in. And fight their way to the inner chamber just as the ritual is nearing it’s climax.
Bonus cinematic points if the ritual chamber is marked by a pillar of darkness, swirling clouds centered on it, or similar so that the outside sorcerer knows where to go.
A. Do a carbon footprint analysis of your life, if it’s above 2,5 tons coe/year you’re a net burden on the planet. My country is as well, although considerably lower than the US.
B. It is possible for you to be a paragon of environmentalism and still live in a country with inefficient systems for water, infrastructure, zoning, industry and food production. Not to mention live in a culture of unsustainable lifestyle. Many Chinese or Indian persons are simply too poor to have a major impact on the environment, but their national industrial practices drive up the average pollution to levels comparable to the US (although still lower). Most US people aren’t as poor, and also have shitty industry standards, and also the means to change that without losing your standing internationally.
C. Multiple countries are shitty, in fact most of the non-developing world countries are a net burden.
D. As opposed to the other countries at the top, the US has had the economy, data, and access to resources to be able to something about it for generations, whereas most have had half the time and considerable need of modernising.
E. The US is much larger than the other countries, and could with quite simple measures make great impact and help pressure other great polluters.
