What is the gop thinking?

They seem to burying themselves in the face of the upcoming mid-terms.
Maybe they have a plan to protest all the results?
Or a plan to suppress voters by having people threaten voters?
Or that jackass is still heading the post office, maybe he'll screw with the mail in ballots again.

There must be something going on in those "think tanks," because it's not looking real positive for the gop.

Apple warns of security flaw for iPhones, iPads and Macs

Source: ABC News

SAN FRANCISCO -- Apple disclosed serious security vulnerabilities for iPhones, iPads and Macs that could potentially allow attackers to take complete control of these devices.

Apple released two security reports about the issue on Wednesday, although they didn’t receive wide attention outside of tech publications.

Apple’s explanation of the vulnerability means a hacker could get “full admin access" to the device. That would allow intruders to impersonate the device's owner and subsequently run any software in their name, said Rachel Tobac, CEO of SocialProof Security.

Earth is begining to spin faster...and guess what some scientists believe is the reason.

When dinosaurs still roamed the planet 70 million years ago, a single day on Earth lasted about 23 1/2 hours, according to a 2020 study published in Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology.

Since 1820, scientists documented Earth's rotation slowing down, according to NASA. In the past few years, it began speeding up, McCarthy said.

Why is the speed increasing?
Researchers do not have a definitive answer on how or why Earth is turning slightly faster, but it may be due to glacial isostatic adjustment, or the movement of land due to melting glaciers, McCarthy said.

Whew. Considering myself lucky today. Not a big deal, but...

My spouse bought a few cases of sparkling water and stacked them in the back of our vehicle.
One of them had tumbled against the window on the drive home, when I opened the hatch, it came flying out, hit the ground on the corner of the box, and split open—it missed my right foot by probably 1/4 of an inch.

I think I'll go do some good deeds. Wow. That would have done some damage.

"Casper (mattress) is hiring professional nappers with 'exceptional sleeping ability'" :D

Sounds like a good gig to me!

https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/07/business/casper-mattresses-professional-sleeper-trnd/index.html

(CNN) A mattress brand is hiring for a position where sleeping on the job is not just accepted -- it's mandatory.
Casper, a New York-based company founded in 2014, is hiring "Casper Sleepers" to sleep for a living.
Casper Sleepers will sleep "in our stores, and in unexpected settings out in the world," according to Casper's job posting.

Unfortunately, there will be some work required when employees are awake. Namely, they'll have to create social media content sharing their experience as a professional sleeper.

The job application is open until August 11, says the listing. The ideal candidate should have an "exceptional sleeping ability," a "desire to sleep as much as possible," and of course, the "ability to sleep through anything."

In addition to being paid to sleep, successful candidates will enjoy being able to wear pajamas to work, limited free Casper products, and the flexibility of a part-time schedule.

Aspiring sleepers are encouraged to show off their sleep skills on TikTok as part of their application, says Casper.
