Just show them the graph. Can’t argue with hard data.

Relevant video from InrangeTV, showcasing a hand mortar from the 1700s.

In short, there’s increasing hints that the “greater good” espoused by the Ethereals (i.e., the Tau’s mysterious leadership caste) may actually be a cover for a lot of mind control and eugenics.

Why would they name it “Visio”? That is already the name of a different Microsoft product.

The word “fluctuating” implies the price of gold has been going up and down. That is not what has happened since the Commander-In-Thief took office.

Market price of one ounce of gold over the last five years:

NVR = Network Video Recorder. It’s the box that has the hard drive(s) to record all the video streams coming in from the cameras over WiFi or Ethernet.
