Your blogger doesn't deny the facts I just showed you.
Don't be so gullible.
You either didn’t watch or missed the point. “My blogger” did not support your position. Don’t tell others to not be gullible while being gullible.

FALSE! GPS.gov: GPS Accuracy Don’t tell others to not be gullible while being gullible!

I don't think you read it carefully. Let's take a look at what they say...
For example, GPS-enabled smartphones are typically accurate to within a 4.9 m (16 ft.) radius under open sky (view source at ION.org). However, their accuracy worsens near buildings, bridges, and trees.
...

Why does GPS sometimes show me in the wrong place?

Many things can degrade GPS positioning accuracy. Common causes include:


  • Satellite signal blockage due to buildings, bridges, trees, etc.
  • Indoor or underground use
  • Signals reflected off buildings or walls ("multipath")
(your source)

So your data is good, if the ballot boxes are all by themselves on a flat plain, and not near trees, buildings, and so on. Otherwise, they inaccurate as the tech site I showed you indicates.

The latest controversy was touched off by Joseph Cox over at Motherboard, who gave a bounty hunter $300 and a phone number. That bounty hunter managed to find the precise, current location of the cellular phone associated with that phone number, down to a few hundred meters.

This time it was just a failure to read carefully.

Show us where the 100 yards plus in your claim is backed up in the article? Read carefully and don’t be gullible.

“Don’t be so gullible “ 1. The recession is not a recession.

Well, let's look at the data...
In U.S., New Data Ease Fear of Recession
In U.S., New Data Ease Fear of Recession (Published 2011)

Normally, rising industrial output and lower unemployment are not considered signs of recession. But it could still happen. Republicans are really, really hoping so.

The unemployment rate in the United States has reached its lowest point since before the coronavirus pandemic, dipping to 4.2%.
tinyurl.com/yyv7ur8f


Industrial Production in the United States increased 3.9 percent year-on-year in July of 2022
United States Industrial Production - August 2022 Data - 1920-2021 Historical

To be fair, job increases are smaller then expected, and the increase in industrial output is the lowest increase since January. So we aren't entirely past the effects of the pandemic.

2. The 2020 election was the most secure election ever

True. Even Trump's own AG admitted the fact. Ironically, the relatively few cases of dead people voting were for Donald Trump. Would you like to see that?

3.maga republicans are fascists

Some are. Tucker Carlson, for example, thinks our society should be more like Putin's Russia. Not all MAGA republicans are white supremacists or neo-nazis. Not even a majority of them. But as you know, a lot of them are. It's always been like that.
'WHITE POWER!'
KKK thugs shout racist slogans and ‘give Nazi salutes’ during parade to celebrate Donald Trump’s election victory
Shocked bystanders watch as parade organised by Klan chapter the Loyal White Knights rolls through Roxboro, North Carolina

THE KKK have been pictured driving through a US town shouting racist slogans in a “victory parade” to celebrate Donald Trump’s election.
KKK shout racist slogans and 'give Nazi salutes' during 'Trump victory parade'


4.the border is secure (Kamala)

Republicans say it is:
AUSTIN, Texas — A year into the state's billion-dollar operation to secure its border with Mexico, leaders say the most significant indicator of success has not been the drugs seized or illegal immigrants apprehended but the lack of caravans showing up at their doorstep.
Billion-dollar investment to secure border under Biden a success, say Texas leaders

But as illegal immigration shifts from Latin America to Asia and more and more people are coming in legally and staying illegally, border security has less and less effect on the issue.

5.Joe didn’t know about (Hunter)

Pretty sure the president knew he had a son.

6.GEO is inaccurate unless used to track to abortion clinics then it is way too accurate

As you learned, it's accurate to a few hundred yards in cities.

7. Libs don’t want to take your guns.

Hmm...
Trump says take guns first and worry about 'due process second' in White House gun meeting
Trump: Take guns first and worry about due process later

Maybe so. Never heard a liberal talk like that.

8. Libs don’t want to censor political speech

Can't think of an example. Remember if a privately-owned newspaper or website decides what it will or won't carry, that's not censorship. First Amendment, you know.

9. Political supporters of Trump (and Trump)are not being targeted by DOJ in a political purge

Not unless you believe the story that the FBI "planted" all those stolen documents. The only investigation about that kind of thing right now, is the IRS is checking whether or not Trump targeted two of his political enemies for very unusual audits.

10. Libs love and protect the constitution.

They care more about some amendments than others, IMO.

11. Libs love all lives even babies in the womb.

Most are pro-abortion, I think.

Who really are
the gullible ones here!

Whoever made up that list, I guess.

how us where the 100 yards plus in your claim is backed up in the article?

It only says that those things make the signal inaccurate. Doesn't say how much so. I showed you a technical article that found a few hundred meters was normal.

Would you like to see that, again?

The latest controversy was touched off by Joseph Cox over at Motherboard, who gave a bounty hunter $300 and a phone number. That bounty hunter managed to find the precise, current location of the cellular phone associated with that phone number, down to a few hundred meters.
https://www.howtogeek.com/402043/can-anyone-really-track-my-phones-precise-location/

At the very minimum about 220 yards. A city block is a bit over 100 yards.

Looks like most of them are about history that the far-right would rather not have kids know about.

from the list of the 400 books they want to ban it seems most of them either have a main character who is a minority or the book was written by a member of a minority.

From your link:


Published in:


Proceedings of the 28th International Technical Meeting of the Satellite Division of The Institute of Navigation (ION GNSS+ 2015)
September 14 - 18, 2015
Tampa Convention Center
Tampa, Florida


Not exactly an up to date publication, over 5 years old at the 2020 election.


How is it you know the height of Buildings near every drop box?

How is you explain multiple trips by multiple drop boxes on the same night and on multiple nights ?

How is it you explain leaving from the identified stash houses to said drop boxes?

Even using your 100 yards false theory this still smells like a rat.


From my .Gov link:



GPS is operated and maintained by the U.S. Space Force. GPS.gov is maintained by the National Coordination Office for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing. Contact us / Tell us what you think of this website. Website host: NOAA. Privacy policy. This page was last modified on March 3, 2022.



What is the government's commitment to GPS accuracy?

The government is committed to providing GPS at the accuracy levels specified in the GPS Standard Positioning Service (SPS) Performance Standard. VIEW DOCUMENT

The accuracy commitments do not apply to GPS devices, but rather to the signals transmitted in space. For example, the government commits to broadcasting the GPS signal in space with a daily global average user range error (URE) of ≤2.0 m (6.6 ft.), with 95% probability, across all healthy satellites in constellation slots. Actual performance is typically much better. On April 20, 2021, the global average URE across all satellites was ≤0.643 m (2.1 ft.), 95% of the time.

To be clear, URE is not user accuracy. User accuracy depends on a combination of satellite geometry, URE, and local factors such as signal blockage, atmospheric conditions, and receiver design features/quality.



Bottom line , yes there are factors that affect accuracy but this is far more accurate than your 100 yards plus claim which is still false!

This dispute was really born out of porn in school libraries and somehow got diverted , imagine that. Some parents were stopped from reading library books at school board meetings because they were too explicit. If someone wants to deal with that specific issue go for otherwise I rest my case.

Do you really want to go down the re-writing history road??

You seem to be really upset that these books, documenting what actually went on, are available to students.

Ah yes. A book showing "unclothed mice." "Pornographic" um? What really seems to have the racists upset is that it's an allegory for the Nazi holocaust. And they don't want our kids learning about that.

And in a real-life test in an urban area, it turned out to be accurate within a few hundred meters. Want me to show you again?

They aren't what racists call "heritage Americans." So in the minds of people like that, they don't count. Apparently some of the white supremacists don't even think they should have First Amendment protections.
