Locals? Sure.
JS not Chrome? Absolutely. JS Chrome? I'll shave a few points of confidence off that. But you know, Mossad. They want you dead, you're dead. Cyber drops the bar wayyyyyyyyyyy below that.
We have this weird belief that if the bug is sufficiently cool everybody must be exploiting it. No, because we are researchers and they are operators. Very, very different metrics of success.

To maintain consistency of governance in existing institutions, the British system uses Shadow Secretaries. Brexit requires *new* institutions, because the world of 2018 isn't the same world from before the EU.

So, what I would say is: Pause Brexit. Build Shadow Institutions.
They may be new, they may be a transformation of the old, this may or may not be possible. But the whole magic of the Shadow model isn't just that there are competent people, but that outsiders know who they are, what they'd be dealing with, what sort of deal they can rely on.
You want a deal, build working systems that can make a deal. Build Shadow Institutions that are credible internally, and externally, on the model of Shadow Secretaries. Treat the Article 50 trigger as policy that looked better on paper and didn't work in practice. That happens!

I know it's a little presumptuous for an American to comment on Brexit, but hear me out.

One of the things I've really admired about British political architecture has been the concept of Shadow Secretaries. At any moment, there are certainly going to be parties not in power.
But political winds may change, new coalitions may form, and who is in charge of what may change. That new talent is *ready* for this eventuality, already trained and known and competent to the degree one can be without actually having the job -- that's pretty cool!
Of course, we have some of that in America -- ranking members from each party on each committee in our legislature -- but Shadow Secretaries deal directly with executing the burdens of statecraft. And they are burdens. Policy is *hard*, execution doubly so.

This is complicated, but at least it’s a technically analyzable situation. Warning everyone now, I am *absolutely* speaking in a neutral capacity here. I may not support your politics, or my own.

Summary: Video compression might have done it. It was probably edited.
First, the type of edit here claimed is not rare at all. I’ve generally heard it referred to as, well, “frame f***ing”. Happens to television shows quite a bit in syndication — scenes aren’t removed, but they’re sped up just enough to add an ad or two.
I say this because while the tech *exists* to do deep fakery, slicing frames here and there is a pretty common and well understood mechanism. It’s like an audio mixing app making the vocals louder (memories of Howard Dean).

What were obstacles and traps when I started in astrophotography, or in general: "What should I pay attention to, when I begin in astrophotography?"
Well, first, a little advisory:
I really can tell what kind of problems you encounter when you begin because...
I'm still beginning 😬😬
So!
The first issue for me have been: I did not know my camera well and what it can do.
Almost any camera can do at least a nice astro landscape.
With the right settings, you could even capture the milky way with a high-end smartphone.

Few points on Montenegro @JoyAnnReid

Manafort worked in Montenegro over a decade ago for Deripaska(Kremlin)

Putin orchestrated a plot to assassinate PM of Montenegro

Trump parroting Putins talking points on Montenegro and everything else is in line w his loyalty to the Kremlin
Besides Trump and his family have made the majority of their money over the past 4 decades w Russian mafia (closely aligned w Russian intel) and Russian oligarchs. And no it’s not for a Trump tower deal but more for helping them launder money among other things
Trump has been pushing Kremlin talking points since his trip to Moscow in 1987. Trump back then wanted a US-Soviet post to solve the nuclear issue and also had an extremely weird obsession w Gorbachev. Then something very quickly changed in and Trump started attacking Gorbachev

Ideally they look at the menu *and then* get into metaphysics or whatever with their companion. But if they haven’t decided they don’t make me wait two minutes while they look “real quick” or “by the time it comes back to me”

I can come back. It’s cool.
But do know what you want to drink, unless it’s a craft cocktail bar you don’t need a full menu, just tell me you want coffee and juice and I’ll go get that.

Also work out all the details in your head before you order, the sausage v bacon debate isn’t a thing you need me for
I love when someone says “and ketchup and Tabasco” because then I don’t have to make the extra trip, I can drop that before the food comes out.

Yes! The true conservative solution is to spend obscene sums of other people's money to arrest, prosecute, and incarcerate people who aren't a threat to the community
Let's do a brief "There’s a very simple way to avoid incarceration: don’t commit a crime." thread while I wait for my client's case to be called
Just last week, a police officer in Biscayne Park FL pled guilty to framing two innocent black men so the town could meet statistical goals

The men didn't commit a crime, but went to jail anyway

Jeremy Corbyn asked “In whose interests is it to destabilise the new govt in Egypt? In whose interest is it to kill Egyptians, other than Israel, concerned at the growing closeness of relationship between Palestine and the new Egyptian govt?”
