I work on live electricity, not those voltages there 132KV plus. We do 11KV and down. Pretty cool at night drawing big arcs across the night light.

I think platforms like Twitter are going to struggle in years to come. These nutter groups from all sides of the spectrum don’t like being mediated in any way. They just want to live in their own particular bubbles where they can share their fact-free theories and content to groups of like minded people. So when any of these tech-companies start to call them out for spreading what’s clearly misinformation, they’ll just go off and start their own ‘free-speech” platforms such as Parler. Anyhows, interesting times ahead.

There was a story going round a while back that Elon Musk was going to to buy Facebook, then delete it. That story was just a nonsense article on a satirical website, but fmd, how good would that be :-)

But to that point, a lot of people believed that story because it was shared a zillion times on social media totally out of context.

Couple of things it could be:

1) microphone on your phone is listening to you

Or

2) coincidence

It's odd that it would be a coincidence but there has been a little research into it. They generally find that it comes down to 3 things:

1) your patterns dictate who you are. If you're thinking about buying cat food and an advert for cat food comes up, that's because the algorithms know you

2) they also know who you're connected with. Generally if the algorithms pick up that your partner is thinking of going to NT and they know you are connected then you'll get related advertising

3) a broken clock is right twice a day. This is also know as the number 23 effect (from the movie 23). If you think that the number 23 is stalking you then you'll see the number 23 everywhere. If you think about buying a Toyota then you'll see adverts for Toyota everywhere. What you won't notice is the 10,000 other adverts for different vehicles
A lot of people mention they see 11:11 All they time. I have been noticing it after reading about it. Lol

Also used to see a fuck load of SS Commodores on the road when looking for mine. Since getting one it's like they have disappeared off the road lol

No don’t have a speaker haven’t searched anything but how is there an ad for what I was just talking about?
This is true. I was working on a step down transformer the other day. 132KV to 11KV. Working and talking etc, that night my feed was over run with trannie porn suggestions....
