Have you ever been asked to double for someone who you did not resemble in any way, shape or form? If so, did you take the job? What was involved in trying to mimic the main actress/actor?

But that number is selected by taking the amount of water an almond tree uses in a season and dividing it by the number of almonds produced in the season. This ignores the fact that you also have a bigger almond tree to use the next year at the end of the season; a tree that is sequestering carbon and preventing erosion.

Source: grew up with lots of almond trees around in a water-rich environment. They kept the mudslides away and the air fresh.

So my question is: how do I make ALL my traffic look like I'm running a speed test?

Security goes two ways. You are on record as indicating absence of the key is a signal of compromise, and now you refuse to prove you have the key. Sure, someone else could have the key -- but then they'd likely prove they had it to "prove" they were you.

Since they haven't, it seems to indicate that no bad actors are claiming to be you and have the key.

Since you haven't used it, it appears to indicate that you also don't have access to the key. Your vague answers on here make this stranger, as you'd likely tell everyone if you lost access to the key.

So the conclusions that can be drawn are all confusing, and mostly bad.

Either a) this AMA isn't with the real Julian Assange, which explains the lack of key access

or

b) It's really you, but you haven't done the same mental gymnastics as many of your supporters, and have just alienated a lot of them (from yourself AND WikiLeaks)

If it's the second, I recommend doing something beyond the twitch interview to respond to all the rumours that are starting to fly -- because there is obviously a coordinated state-level effort to discredit you, and it's working.
