So I understand already, Hunter is bad, and the Dems like trannies
The top of CNN
Stanton, Kentucky (CNN) — All Heather and Nick Maberry wanted to do was hold their dead baby, but strict Kentucky abortion laws meant they couldn’t.
They were “furious” that the laws meant they never got to kiss or cuddle their daughter, Willow Rose, or tell her goodbye, Heather said.
“We’ll never know what her face looked like. We’ll never know what it was like to hold her in her arms,” she said. “We’re grieving someone that we’ve never seen.”
——
The rest of the story is about how Kentucky’s new abortion laws forced a woman with an encephalitic baby to go to Chicago where they wouldn’t induce labor, but did a D & C, chopping up the baby in pieces.
The baby was doomed to die at birth, anyway.
Still, quite a sad thing about the consequences of meddling in decisions a heart broken woman has with her doctor.
**** MAGAS, all they do night and day is be against things.

First, TV sets had tubes. Then the tubes were replaced by modular circuit boards with transistors on them.
Tune sets were notoriously unreliable: one loose tube and the sound vanished or the picture was unwatchable.
And they were very expensive. The first B&W set my father bought in 1953 cost $450, over half a month's salary, and it died spectacularly the night that the Andrea Doria collided with the Stockholm in NY harbor in 1956. It smoked, then there was a bright flash then a small ball of electricity rose out of the back of the set and went <*pop!*>. It had a 14 inch screen and one small speaker.
It turns out that some people were better and faster at working with assembling circuit boards, notably people with smaller fingers who were skilled at using chopsticks, such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese women.
There are still TV sets made in the USA, though most are assembled in Asia. You can google TV sets made in USA.
I have an old style 36" JVC that has outlasted three remotes and four converter boxes and was made in Mexico in 1990. I bought it, with a table for it to sit on, for $125 in a garage sale in 1996. I have not replaced it because the picture is still great and it is very heavy and hard to move I took me and a friend three hours to get it out of the car and into where it sits today.
The doria collision wasn't in the harbor I remember my grandfather working at motorolla...they madetv's. I also remember the tube sts well.
My father used to pull the tuner apart and clean it. When the set stopped working he popped the tube out. The drug store had a tube tester and a whole aisle of tubes. Most of the problems were reception if you depended on the "rabbit ears".
My parents didn't get their first color set until I was in high-school. My first few sets were black and white. They were less expensive and the picture was sharper.

The collision was so close to New York that news helicopters filmed the drama for those with working televisions.michaelf » 07 Jul 2023, 5:04 pm » wrote: ↑ The doria collision wasn't in the harbor I remember my grandfather working at motorolla...they madetv's. I also remember the tube sts well.

Both ships detected each other on radar.
But they still collided.
It is a fascinating story about human nature.

This is all I needed to read to know that you are misinformed about pretty much everything. I didn't read past this because it would have been just noise.
