We know, for instance, that Trump followed CIA advice on capturing Maduro and the succession in Venezuela because Trump told everyone that was the case.

There were a lot of wars in the last 80 years. Ignoring other countries wars: the big ones were Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq. Then there were many times the US overthrew governments or aided one side in a civil war.
This current Venzuelan thing is a little like Obama's Libya thing. Let's just hope it doesn't go as badly as Libya.
It seems like many of these things are CIA led and the president is an interchangeable element.

A secret many people used from the 60s on, often during the transfer to vinyl. When all you have to do is slightly increase the speed of the tape, it's easy. People (DJs especially) also used to slightly increased the speed of vinyl because there was a tweak for that on most record players. Digital mostly killed that. Sweetening is a much more generic term though, it pretty much covers anything done at the mastering stage and beyond.

Not a dichotomy. There are clearly corrupt police. There are clearly coerced confessions.
What makes you sure that this isn't a case of that?
I try to deal in probabilities of things and this is clearly political which changes odds.
There's corruption somewhere, either in the original convictions or in the later reversal. There are way more eyes on a reversal, so the probability of that being the corrupt part is less.

Trump's called for lots of people to be arrested. Some are black.
Trump actually bought ads asking for the restoration of the death penalty using the Central Park 5 as an example, after they had been found guilty. So it would be fair to say that he advocated for their death but not their arrest.
Way after that their confessions were found to be coerced (minors without parents) and another guy admitted to the crime so they were released. Never talk to the police.

President Trump is undermining China in Africa and South America. President Biden got Ukraine into a proxy war with Russia and took Syria away (started under Obama). President Obama took Libya out and started color revolutions in many places.

Everything needs energy. If you asked someone whether 19/10000 is a big or a small number, shorn of context, you'd expect the answer that it's a small number. Assuming an understanding of fractions or percentages, which doesn't seem to be a given these days.
But you're right solar is expensive in land in comparison to other forms of power generation and that's barely an important problem in comparison with reliability, ease of maintenance, pollution in manufacture and scrapping.

Percentage wise. But then as energy requirements continually rise, we should expect the dots to grow until we run out of land mass. Then the problem of transport will be less of an issue.

The supreme court already ruled that one of Trump's EOs was fine because of exactly the statement that it must adhere to the the law. If you say do X within the law, then clearly you're not asking for things beyond the law.
He's also been taken to court on his use of troops and the national guard. This is the proper way of doing things. Within the law.

That's not what's being done.
Read the eo. It clearly defines that everything should be done within the existing legal framework.
There have been a number of attacks on churches and church schools. That's why religion is mentioned. If the terrorism was aimed at bakeries, it would mention bakeries. You tend to mention the victims of terrorism when defining an EO to tackle it.

Yeah. But it's not that, if you actually read it. It's focused on disrupting networks, i.e. pre-existing crime. And as always it seems there's a statement in it about this only applying within applicable law and not creating anything that doesn't already exist.

That's a perfectly valid take. Workflow is important and people chose for that. They also choose for the type of saturation added to the signal. Curvature can do all the common styles of compression and it'll train you to use a compressor properly. Most DAWs come with perfectly adequate compressors though. I tend to separate saturation from compression for finer control but I still like MagicDeathEye on my master bus to tickle levels but add saturation.
