"The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people's fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That's why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It's an innocent form of exaggeration—and a very effective form of promotion."

A transistor is a device that regulates current or voltage flow and acts as a switch or gate for electronic signals. Transistors consist of three layers of a semiconductor material, each capable of carrying a current.
The transistor was invented by three scientists at the Bell Laboratories in 1947, and it rapidly replaced the vacuum tube as an electronic signal regulator. A transistor regulates current or voltage flow and acts as a switch or gate for electronic signals. A transistor consists of three layers of a semiconductor material, each capable of carrying a current. A semiconductor is a material such as germanium and silicon that conducts electricity in a "semi-enthusiastic" way. It's somewhere between a real conductor such as copper and an insulator (like the plastic wrapped around wires).
The semiconductor material is given special properties by a chemical process called doping. The doping results in a material that either adds extra electrons to the material (which is then called N-type for the extra negative charge carriers) or creates "holes" in the material's crystal structure (which is then called P-type because it results in more positive charge carriers). The transistor's three-layer structure contains an N-type semiconductor layer sandwiched between P-type layers (a PNP configuration) or a P-type layer between N-type layers (an NPN configuration).
A small change in the current or voltage at the inner semiconductor layer (which acts as the control electrode) produces a large, rapid change in the current passing through the entire component. The component can thus act as a switch, opening and closing an electronic gate many times per second. Today's computers use circuitry made with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. CMOS uses two complementary transistors per gate (one with N-type material; the other with P-type material). When one transistor is maintaining a logic state, it requires almost no power.
Transistors are the basic elements in integrated circuits (IC), which consist of very large numbers of transistors interconnected with circuitry and baked into a single silicon microchip

I like McD's for breakfast, but not for other meals.

They often have a sausage biscuit for a buck, and senior coffee.  We stop when we're traveling.  We used to go to one near us fairly often in Cincy, but there are none near us now, and the one we could drive to is said to be awful.
Agree 100%. McD breakfast is surprisingly good. The rest of their food….pretty much trash. Although their new “made to order cooked on a flat top, fresh never frozen” Quarter Pounder actually pretty decent. Probably the only thing on their entire menu that actually tastes like real beef. Their other stuff tastes like freeze dried cardboard run through a microwave.

Not sure CNN can really go back, they've lost the trust of so many people, I doubt they'll ever be taken seriously again.
Agree. Never say never, but CNN’s rating have fallen off a cliff and not sure it’s possible to regain trust once you lose it. CNN’s top show can’t even crack a million viewers. 

Their steaming service is a joke. No one watches cnn when it’s free. Why they think they could start charging $5 or $10 a month and get subscribers is beyond me. 

ONLY shot that streaming service would have is if the new head honcho Malone fires Don Lemon, Brian Stetler, and every other buttplug that works there and starts over- and then try and poach independent streamers and broadcasters with big followings. Only shot in hell they’d have.

First theatre night in ~2 years tonight... Going to see Wicked. Wife has seen it, but it'll be the first time for me.

i haven't had fast food in years, perhaps only two or three times in a couple decades

but, I guy that I will be travelling with for business says we WILL be stopping for Taco John's on Tuesdays

He's a good guy and drinks as much as I, so I'll go along with it.   For a while...

Your quote from the book you're supporting is him saying it's okay to lie.

I think that's perfect.

It's a rare salesman who doesn't present a biased version of "truth".  And probably an unemployed one.
