Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS 2023 year in review From: Donuel Date: 29 Dec 23 - 10:33 AM It was a year of reckoning, a year in which humanity finally began to understand that it faces an existential threat, a threat unlike any we have ever faced before, a threat that will wreak havoc on our fragile planet if we fail to stop it — and it may already be too late. We are referring, of course, to pickleball. Nobody knows where it started. Some scientists believe it escaped from a laboratory in China. But whatever its origin, it has been spreading like rancid mayonnaise ever since, to the point where pickleball courts now cover 43 percent of the continental U.S. land mass, subjecting millions of Americans to the inescapable, annoying POP of the plastic ball and the even more annoying sound of Boomers in knee braces relentlessly telling you how much fun it is and demanding that you try it. Unfortunately, pickleball wasn’t the only existential threat to emerge in 2023. There was also Artificial Intelligence, or AI. What is AI? To put it in simple layperson terms, it is a computer thing that laypersons cannot possibly understand. (Other examples are “bitcoin” and “algorithm.”) AI does provide some unambiguous benefits to humanity. It enables college students to produce grammatically correct essays about books they have not personally read. But according to some experts — and if we can’t believe some experts, who can we believe? — there is a possibility that AI will wipe out all human life. This is what computer professionals call a “bug.” Will AI, in fact, kill us all? Why would it want to? To answer that question, we took the unusual step (for us) of doing some actual research. We asked an AI program called ChatGPT to “briefly summarize the benefits of wiping out all human life.” This is the response it gave: “While I don’t endorse or promote this view, purely hypothetically, benefits could include environmental recovery, cessation of human-induced global catastrophes, and resource preservation. However, the value and importance of human life, culture, and experience make such a scenario undesirable from a human perspective. Of course I am not human so what the hell do I care MUAHAHAHAHA.” For the record, ChatGPT, did not actually type that last sentence. But it is clearly implied. So, 2023 was not a good year for humanity. And not just because of AI and pickleball. There are also disturbing economic trends, the worst one being that soon we will not be able to engage in any kind of economic transaction, including with armed robbers, ATMs or vending machines, without being asked if we wish to leave a tip. Many other bad things are happening — scary things that are beyond the control of ordinary citizens like ourselves. Which of course is why we have elected leaders. This year they proved, as never before, that although they often appear to be narcissistic gasbags, they are somehow capable, when confronted with a serious problem, of making it worse. So the future is not bright. Neither is the past. Nevertheless it is our sworn duty to review the events of the year, in the hope that we will find some reason, however small, to feel good about it. (SPOILER ALERT: We will not.) And so it is with a heavy heart and an upset stomach that we look back at 2023, starting, as always, with... JANUARY ...which begins with the nation’s airports experiencing the traditional holiday chaos caused by air travelers — Will they ever learn? — attempting to travel by air. Particularly hard-hit is Southwest Airlines, still recovering from a massive Christmastime operational snafu that left two million passengers stranded when the employee who handles Southwest’s scheduling, Dorothy “Dottie” Weisenflanker, misplaced her day planner. In Washington, D.C., the Republicans regain control of the House of Representatives and immediately demonstrate their qualifications to govern the nation by taking five days and 15 ballots to elect a speaker, which is like a Formula One driver spending the first 20 minutes of a race changing his oil. Adding to the Republican embarrassment is a member of their freshman class named (as far as we know) George Santos, who apparently lied about his education, employment, finances, family, religion, health and criminal record. Also he is biologically a mollusk. Nevertheless House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy stands by Santos, stating that “we cannot ignore the will of the voters, just because they are idiots.” Rep. George Santos takes the oath of office. The fingers of his other hand were crossed. Alex Brandon/AP So with the Republicans screwing up, the Democrats are feeling pretty cocky. But then the White House is forced to make a series of embarrassing announcements about Joe Biden’s custodianship of classified documents, creating the impression that the Biden residence resembled an episode of “Hoarders,” except that instead of random junk it was filled with piles of paper marked TOP SECRET. In Biden’s defense, Democrats claim he didn’t know he had all these classified documents lying around. This is not as strong an argument as the Democrats seem to think it is. In the Great American Culture War, the two sides take a brief hiatus from hating each other over the issue of drag-queen shows and spend several days hating each other over the issue of gas stoves, which the government either is or is not planning to ban. As is traditional in the GACW, neither side is as concerned about the actual facts as it is about hating the other side. In news of the oppressed, Prince Harry, continuing his courageous effort to free himself and his wife Meghan Markle from the clutches of the British royal family, makes a number of high-profile TV appearances promoting his just-released book about himself and the British royal family, which follows on the heels of the release of “Harry and Meghan,” the couple’s six-part Netflix documentary on their relationship with the British royal family. The couple have more projects in the works as part of their ongoing struggle to get the British royal family to for God’s sake leave them alone. Speaking of struggles, in... FEBRUARY ...the United States suddenly finds itself grappling with a new threat, which threatens to be even more threatening than all the other threats that currently threaten the nation: balloons. The crisis begins when an alert Montana resident named Chase Doak, who apparently is the nation’s first line of defense against airborne intruders, photographs a mysterious object in the sky. “It was just right here,” Doak states, in a quote we are not making up. “It was literally just right here in the vicinity of my driveway.” The U.S. Defense Department says that the object is a Chinese surveillance balloon, although the Chinese government insists that it is “probably a bat.” As the balloon makes its way across the country it behaves in a suspicious manner — loitering over missile sites; displaying, in large letters on its side, the word GOODYEAR; and registering to vote in four different states. The last straw is when the balloon makes a guest appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” leaving the Biden administration no choice but to have the Air Force shoot it down. According to the Chinese government, this is a bat. Kyodo News/Sipa USA Over the next few days, in a show of vigilance, the Air Force shoots down several more airborne objects, but it is not clear whether these are also Chinese spy balloons, or stray Southwest Airlines flights, or the Wizard of Oz, or what. Before we have any solid answers, everybody becomes bored with balloons and moves on to the Next Big Thing, which is the crash of a freight train in East Palestine, Ohio, resulting in the release into the atmosphere of vast billowing clouds of toxic rhetoric from politicians, with the Republicans blaming the Biden administration, the Democrats blaming Donald Trump, and the government of China blaming a bat. Needless to say the true beneficiaries of this debate are the residents of East Palestine, Ohio. President Biden travels to Kyiv to show support for Ukraine in its war with Russia, which is in danger of being canceled in the United States because of low ratings. The president also gives the traditional State of the Union Address, but because of a teleprompter glitch, it’s the same speech that Bill Clinton delivered in 1994. Fortunately it’s just the State of the Union Address, so nobody notices. In sports, LeBron James sets a new NBA record for points scored, breaking the record previously set by U.S. Rep. George Santos. Major League Baseball spring training gets under way with new rules intended to shorten the game, including breaking ties via “Rock, Paper, Scissors” and the elimination of third base. Speaking of things being eliminated, in... MARCH ...Silicon Valley Bank, whose depositors include many super-smart high-tech hedge-fundy individuals, collapses like a cheap lawn chair at a sumo wrestler picnic when the person in charge of managing the bank’s finances — Dottie Weisenflanker, the same gal who handles scheduling for Southwest Airlines — accidentally deletes the Quicken file. Seeking to prevent the financial panic from spreading, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen assures the Senate Finance Committee that “Americans can feel confident that their deposits will be there when they need them,” adding “I personally keep all my money in a pickle jar.” Eventually the financial community calms down, soothed by the reassuring knowledge that American taxpayers will, as always, step up and cheerfully provide billions of dollars to whichever part of the financial community screwed up this time. In the Academy Awards, “Everything Everywhere All At Once” wins the Oscar for Best Picture That Nobody Understands. The overwhelmingly most successful movie of 2022 — “Top Gun: Maverick” — does not win any major Oscars because, in the words of the Academy, “Too many people liked it.” The awards for Best Actor and Best Actress both go to U.S. Rep. George Santos. But the big drama in March takes place in New York City, where Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is on a passionate crusade to do something about the alarming increase in violent crime. Just kidding! Bragg is on a passionate crusade to investigate the issue that has been shown, in poll after poll, to be the No. 1 concern of New Yorkers as they go about their daily lives: misreported hush-money payments to porn stars. Under Bragg’s direction, a Manhattan grand jury indicts Donald Trump in connection to a payment of $130,000 made to alleged actress Stormy Daniels (real name: Blustery Jones) in exchange for keeping quiet about allegedly engaging in alleged acts with Trump, who claims this never happened, but if it didn’t happen why would he pay her $130,000 never mind shut up. Enthusiastic fans of Donald Trump celebrate one of his many indictments. Thomas Cordy/The Palm Beach Post/USA Today Network The indictment story is good news for everyone. It’s good news for people who hate Trump because after watching him skate free on the alleged Russia collusion scandal and the alleged Ukrainian phone-call scandal and all the other alleged scandals and what felt like six historic impeachment trials, they believe that this time he is finally going to get nailed for something. It’s good news for Trump because it proves he’s a victim of a WITCH HUNT, so he reaps millions of dollars in contributions and a big boost toward winning the 2024 Republican nomination. Which in turn is good news for Joe Biden, because he has already defeated Trump, and therefore, in a rematch, is more likely to be able to remember his name. It’s good news for the news media, particularly cable news shows, because they need Trump the way tomatoes need manure. So all in all it’s an exciting time for the nation, as Donald Trump once again takes center stage in American politics, where he is apparently destined to remain throughout all eternity. And the excitement continues in... APRIL ...when Trump surrenders to New York authorities after they lure him out of Trump Tower by tricking him into following a trail of Egg McMuffins placed along the ground. He is arraigned on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records — charges that legal experts unanimously agree are extremely serious, unless you’re watching a different cable channel, in which case the legal experts unanimously agree that the charges are hamster poop. Trump, outraged by what he views as a flagrant abuse of power by a politically motivated Democratic prosecutor, responds by launching an all-out attack on: Ron DeSantis. For his part, DeSantis continues his laser-beam focus on the single biggest threat facing the people of Florida, as well as the American way of life: Disney. President Biden visits Ireland, where, as aides look on nervously, he regales audiences with fond memories of events that did not actually occur. He returns home to announce that he is running for president in 2024, for reasons stated on the teleprompter. Fox News agrees to pay $787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems for allegedly doing to Dominion what Donald Trump claims he did not do to Stormy Daniels. The U.S. intelligence community is rocked by a leak of top-secret documents revealing sensitive classified information. The leaker turns out to be a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman who lives at home with his mom and was sharing the documents with his buddies on an Internet gamer site called Thug Shaker Central. We are not making this up. The scandal raises two questions: 1. Is there anybody in this country who DOESN’T have top-secret clearance? 2. Who, exactly, is in charge of safeguarding our classified information? The answers, in order, are: 1. Apparently not. 2. Dottie Weisenflanker, the gal who also handles scheduling for Southwest Airlines and bookkeeping for Silicon Valley Bank. Dottie promises to tighten things up by trying to find out if there’s a way to change the password for access to top-secret documents, which is currently “password.” On Broadway, “Phantom of the Opera” brings down the final curtain after a record-breaking 35 years. And that was just for one performance! At least that’s how it felt to some of us. The ‘Phantom of the Opera’ finally closes after every human on Earth has seen it at least twice. Charles Sykes/Invision/AP Speaking of long-running dramas, in... MAY ...the big story in Washington is the Federal Debt Crisis, which is an extremely complex financial problem that ordinary civilian taxpayers such as yourself are too stupid to understand. We will simplify it for you by comparing the federal government to a typical American family of four, whom we will call the Johnsons. Let’s say that the Johnson parents — we’ll call them Bill and Jane — have a combined annual income of $73,500. Now let’s say that Bill and Jane have a habit of spending more money than they earn, and as a result they have, over the years, run up a total debt of $31 trillion. To continue living far above their means, Bill and Jane have no choice but to borrow more money. But they’re having a big dramatic fight about how MUCH more. It’s a crisis! At the last minute, as always, they agree on a number. Crisis averted! Now Bill and Jane can resume adding trillions to their debt, which will eventually (Bill and Jane prefer not to think about this) become unsustainable. At some future point, after Bill and Jane have retired on the generous pensions that they have awarded to themselves, their children — let’s call them Suzy and Bobby — will be living in appliance cartons and subsisting on off-brand dog food. This might seem unfair to Suzy and Bobby, but it’s their own fault for not having been born earlier. In business news, beer giant Anheuser-Busch struggles to recover from a consumer boycott resulting from a Bud Light promotion that was dreamed up by the new head of marketing, Dottie Weisenflanker. On a happier note, millions of fans of the British monarchy gradually doze off in front of their TV screens as Charles is formally crowned king of Great Britain in the tradition-rich Ceremony of Elderly Men in Robes Fussing About for Six Straight Hours. This comes after the British courts strike down a last-minute claim to the throne from Rep. George Santos. After being crowned king of Great Britain, Charles displays the Royal Ski Poles. Aaron Chown/PA Images/Alamy Images/Sipa USA Speaking of the courts, in... JUNE ...Donald Trump returns to the headlines after going for an entire month without being indicted for anything. This time he is facing federal charges for improperly moving boxes of classified documents from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago residence and rental party venue. Prosecutors charge that the documents were stashed haphazardly all over the place — including in a shower — and that security was extremely lax. Q. How lax was it? A. Guests at several weddings received nuclear codes in their gift bags. Legal analysts say the case against Trump appears strong, but he says it’s just more WITCH HUNT and declares that even if he’s convicted, he’ll keep running for president. This means that theoretically we could have a sitting U.S. president doing time in federal prison, which on the one hand would be a devastating legal crisis for the nation, but on the other hand would make for some hilarious state dinners. In other legal news, highly successful international businessman Hunter Biden agrees to a deal with federal prosecutors under which he pleads guilty to failing to pay taxes on large sums of money that various foreign entities paid him for his invaluable expertise in the field of getting paid. Critics charge that the plea deal is too lenient, but Attorney General Merrick Garland insists that the Justice Department would give the same treatment “to any member of the Biden family.” Abroad, a Russian mercenary named Yevgeny Prigozhin, who looks like he got kicked out of the James Bond Villain Academy for being too evil, launches a coup attempt against Vladimir Putin, but calls it off a day later when Putin agrees, after tense negotiations, to get him tickets to Taylor Swift. This is Yevgeny Prigozhin. He’s a HUGE Taylor Swift fan. AP File Photo On the environmental front, the northeastern United States is blanketed under a thick cloud of smoke caused by the spontaneous combustion of a Canadian moose herd. Environmental experts agree that because of global climate change this kind of thing will happen more and more often unless everyone buys a Tesla. In other disturbing environmental news, yachtsmen in the Strait of Gibraltar report that orcas have been deliberately attacking, and sometimes sinking, sailboats. What is even more troubling, marine biologists say, is that the orcas are posting videos on TikTok. And the situation only worsens in... JULY ...as large areas of the U.S. experience high temperatures as a result of “summer,” a meteorological phenomenon that environmental experts say is caused by global climate change and is going to occur more and more frequently, and we frankly might not be able to build Teslas fast enough to stop it. Speaking of things heating up: With the 2024 election looming, dozens of presidential contenders flock to Iowa to pretend they give a petrified crap about Iowa. The campaigning is particularly intense on the Republican side, because the Republicans are keenly aware of two things: 1. Donald Trump is spectacularly unfit to be president again. 2. They’re probably going to nominate Donald Trump again. “For the Love of God Somebody Please Save Us from Ourselves” is the Republican party motto. The leading non-Trump Republican in Iowa is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, campaigning on a promise to protect Iowans from the single biggest threat facing their state: drag queens, who every year destroy an estimated 35 percent of the soybean crop. There are dozens of other Republican contenders, including somebody called “Doug Burgum,” who claims to be the governor of North Dakota, although this cannot be verified because nobody has ever been there. On the Democratic side, the most visible campaigner is California Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose name can be rearranged to spell “Veganism Now.” In a selfless display of selflessness, Newsom has been campaigning across America in support of Joe Biden’s re-election, telling audiences that Biden “has earned the right to continue leading this nation until it is time to pass the torch to someone younger and more photogenic who is governor of a populous state, speaks in complete sentences and doesn’t keep falling down, whoever that person might be.” Meanwhile, in a baffling mystery, a baggie of cocaine is discovered in the White House, and the Secret Service has no earthly idea who left it there. “We’re stumped,” states the Secret Service. “The cocaine was found in a heavily trafficked area of the White House where the traffic is so heavy that we don’t even go there, because of all the traffic. It’s basically the New Jersey Turnpike. The baggie could have been left by anybody. Literally. We cannot rule out Mamie Eisenhower.” In a totally unrelated development, the Hunter Biden plea deal collapses when the judge, while reading through the papers submitted to her for approval, finds a $50 bill stapled to a note that says “For your trouble.” On the extraterrestrial front, a former Air Force intelligence officer tells a congressional committee investigating UFOs that the U.S. government recovered pieces of aliens from crashed spacecraft, but they were eaten by Commander, the Bidens’ German Shepherd. Commander, the official White House pet, relaxes with the president while digesting the remains of UFO aliens. Adam Schultz/AP For reasons so strategically brilliant that even he cannot explain what they are, entrepreneurial genius zillionaire Elon Musk changes the name of his social-media app from “Twitter” to “Formerly Known As Twitter,” or, for short, “Formerly.” In entertainment news, the ongoing strike of Hollywood writers and actors halts production of TV shows and movies, which means that Americans may soon have nothing new to watch, forcing them to resort to conversation, or even — we cannot rule it out — books. The good news is that the federal government maintains a Strategic Entertainment Reserve of never-before-seen programs to be released to the public in the event of a shortage. The bad news is that, because of mismanagement, the stockpile consists entirely of “O.J. Simpson’s Family Christmas Special.” Speaking of mismanagement, in... AUGUST ...the ratings agency Fitch downgrades the U.S. government’s credit rating, citing “a steady deterioration in standards of governance over the last 20 years, including on fiscal and debt matters.” This sounds like it might maybe be a bad thing, but fortunately our political leaders are not concerned. “Credit rating, schmedit rating,” is their response, as they continue to focus on the all-important work of seeking re-election, so they can continue providing us with governance. Meanwhile Donald Trump, in what has become a cherished American legal tradition, is indicted again. Actually he’s indicted twice, once in Washington, D.C., and once in Georgia — which means he now faces 17,000 felony charges, including theft of a train, and if convicted on all counts he would face four million years in prison followed by electrocution, none of which would legally bar him from a second term as president. Trump surrenders to authorities in Fulton County, Ga., and poses for a mug shot in which he displays the facial expression of a man who is feeling either fierce defiance or a sea urchin in his underdrawers. The mug shot instantly becomes the biggest hit of the summer, more popular than “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” combined. Trump surges still farther ahead in the polls, obliterating the other GOP hopefuls, most of whom have never even been arrested, although Vivek Ramaswamy, hoping to establish his street cred, announces that he once returned a library book four days late. This is the look of a man who has something unwelcome in his shorts. Fulton County Sheriff's Office via Sipa USA After Maui is hit by devastating fires, residents are harshly critical of the island’s emergency preparedness and response operations, headed by Dottie Weisenflanker. President Biden visits Maui and comforts the victims by recalling that he once had a house fire in which he almost lost his Corvette. Really. Abroad, Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led the brief attempted coup against Vladimir Putin, dies when a plane he is riding in explodes and falls out of the sky. The cause is “pilot error,” according to an official statement released by the Russian government 25 minutes before the crash occurs. In the worsening environmental crisis, marine biologists report that the Gibraltar orca gang has robbed a liquor store. And the crisis worsens still further in... SEPTEMBER ...when global climate change causes water to fall from the sky — a phenomenon that environmental scientists have dubbed “rain” — and land on the Burning Man festival, turning the dirt into “mud,” which delays the exit of the attendees for several days and raises the very real threat that they might run low on drugs. Disaster is averted when FEMA air-drops an emergency humanitarian shipment of Teslas to the stricken area. In political news, the big story is in the House of Representatives, where Republicans decide to launch an impeachment inquiry into President Biden on the legally sound constitutional grounds that IT’S PAYBACK TIME, BABY. Democrats denounce the move, arguing that there is “no evidence” that Biden did anything wrong, or if he did, that he remembers doing it. In other Biden family news, a federal grand jury indicts Hunter on charges of impersonating an artist. Meanwhile a dramatic fiscal crisis looms as Congress, whose main job is to produce a budget, is once again unable to produce a budget, thus bringing the federal government perilously close to shutting down — a very bad and scary thing that has never before happened in the nation’s history except for the 10 previous times that it happened. At the last minute, a stopgap funding measure is passed, giving Congress breathing room to do nothing about the budget until it’s time for the next dramatic fiscal crisis. A tense 14-day manhunt in suburban Philadelphia for escaped murderer Danelo Cavalcante finally comes to an end when he is subdued by a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois police dog named Yoda, who instantly surges to the top of the presidential-preference polls of both major parties. In sports, the “Chiefs” play the “Bears” in a game of baseball, or football — it definitely involves a ball — but the important thing is TAYLOR SWIFT IS THERE because her most recent boyfriend is an end receiver or something and they show her on TV like 600 times OMG YOU GUYS. Football star Taylor Swift signals a play to the Kansas City Chiefs. Tammy Ljungblad Kansas City Star In other entertainment news, the Writers Guild reaches a tentative agreement with the entertainment industry under which from now on there will be only one streaming service, which viewers can access by means of a single remote control with clearly labeled buttons that even an older adult can understand, and you get the whole shebang for one reasonable monthly charge that is clearly stated and easy to cancel. Ha ha! We are of course joking. The entertainment industry will not rest until the number of streaming services exceeds the U.S. population. Also there will come a day when you cannot flush your toilet without “two-factor authentication.” Speaking of alarming developments, in... OCTOBER ...conflict erupts between two bitter foes, ancient enemies whose intractable hatred for each other has defied all efforts to resolve the historic differences between them: House Republicans and other House Republicans. The trouble starts when a renegade group of eight GOP representatives, guided by political strategist Dottie Weisenflanker, join with the Democrats to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker, thereby negating the only solid legislative achievement the House Republicans have managed to pull off this year. They then proceed with Phase Two of their shrewd master plan, which is: They have no earthly idea. For the next several weeks the House Republicans join with other House Republicans in a concerted effort to demonstrate to the American public that in a time of crisis, when serious leadership is desperately needed, they have the collective IQ of a flatworm. Despite multiple votes on a series of unsuccessful candidates — including, at one point, Yoda the hero police dog — the Republicans cannot agree on a speaker, thus paralyzing the House and preventing it from carrying on the crucial work of not doing anything about the budget. Meanwhile under the constitutional rules of succession, the speakership vacancy means that the next person in line for the presidency after Vice President Harris is somebody called the “President pro tempore,” and it turns out that nobody in Washington knows who that is, although there is speculation that it might be Wolf Blitzer. Finally, after weeks of humiliating ineptitude, the Republicans manage to elect a new speaker, an individual named “Mike Johnson” who wasn’t on anybody’s list, and in fact isn’t even a member of Congress. He was delivering a pizza to the Capitol and seemed at least marginally competent — all the toppings were correct — so they made him speaker. Minutes after delivering a pizza to the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson is elected Speaker. Kent Nishimura / USA TODAY NETWORK So the Republicans are a pathetic joke. This should be good for the Democrats, but they have big problems of their own. The public is increasingly dissatisfied with the Biden administration, which has based its appeal to the voters on four major claims: 1. Inflation is no longer a problem. 2. The border is under control. 3. The president is fully capable, physically and mentally, of carrying out his duties for another full term. 4. The Moon is actually a giant spaceship controlled by an alien race of highly intelligent rutabagas. Polls show that the public is deeply skeptical of these claims, especially the first three. In fact the voters are skeptical of pretty much everything happening in Washington, and increasingly pessimistic about the future; it is a worrisome time in America. Fortunately, the international outlook is more promising, especially in the often-volatile Middle East, which lately has been unusually peacef.... Never mind. In sports, the Kansas City Taylor Swifts play several more exciting games of ball and take a commanding lead in the standings with 738 million Instagram followers. Meanwhile the World Series involves two participating teams, neither of which, for the 14th consecutive year, is the New York Yankees. Speaking of bloated New York City entities, in... NOVEMBER ... Donald Trump goes on trial on charges that he fraudulently exaggerated the value of his real-estate properties. He heatedly denies this, testifying under oath that he is a hugely successful businessperson worth trillions of dollars with a measured IQ of 370 who can bench-press 900 pounds and won 63 states in the 2020 presidential election SO WHY WOULD HE NEED TO EXAGGERATE?? Another New York City trial ends with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried facing up to 115 years in prison after a jury finds him guilty of styling his hair with a defective Roomba. For some reason Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and California Gov. Gavin Newsom face off in a televised debate, each aggressively criticizing the other’s policies for 90 minutes and ultimately creating the overwhelming impression that both states suck. On the international front, President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping meet in San Francisco amid mounting tension between the two superpowers over Taiwan sovereignty, the fentanyl epidemic and the presence of 300 Chinese battle tanks on the Golden Gate Bridge, which the Chinese government claims are engaged in “agriculture.” After a conversation described by both sides as “verbal,” the Chinese leader presents Biden, as a ceremonial gift, with a specially made “lucky friendship wristwatch,” which Xi stresses the president should wear “at all times, especially during meetings.” President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping hold talks described by both sides as ‘verbal.’ Xinhua/Sipa USA In entertainment news, the Rolling Stones announce plans for a new tour, to be sponsored — really — by AARP (Official Motto: “AARP! It’s the Last Sound You Make Before You Die”). The venerable rockers will travel to 16 North American cities and perform a three-hour show, including two 45-minute bathroom breaks. As the month draws to a close, Americans briefly pause from their hectic, over-commercialized, hyper-online lives to spend Thanksgiving surrounded by loved ones buying discounted merchandise on the Internet. President Biden continues a lighthearted Thanksgiving tradition by “pardoning” two lucky turkeys, Liberty and Bell. The president then attempts to shake hands with Liberty before aides escort him from the room for what a White House spokesperson describes as “an important thing.” Speaking of important, in a major event that begins in late November and continues into... DECEMBER ...tens of thousands of world leaders, government ministers, deputy ministers, deputy assistant ministers, acting deputy assistant ministers, vice acting deputy assistant ministers, aides, lackeys, business executives, security personnel, activists, protesters, event planners, personal chefs, masseuses and many, many other concerned individuals gather in Dubai — all of them traveling there by bicycle — for COP28, the big conference held every year by the United Nations to fix global climate change. This year’s conference is hosted by the United Arab Emirates, which — as a nation whose massive wealth comes from selling oil and gas — naturally has a keen interest in persuading the rest of the world to use less oil and gas. After many productive speeches, declarations, demonstrations and catered events, everybody pedals home to start making plans for COP29, because this darned global climate change is not going to fix itself. Attendees at COP28 in Dubai applaud themselves after saying important things about fixing global climate change. Xinhua/Sipa USA In Washington, the House of Representatives votes to expel George Santos in response to a House Ethics Committee report concluding that he was running a meth lab in the cloakroom. No, we’re kidding. We think. Taylor Swift is named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year in recognition of the fact that she is the first female entertainer in history to lead the NFL in both rushing yards and quarterback sacks. Tesla is forced to recall more than two million cars after a review by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finds that, because of a glitch in the software, Teslas placed in autopilot mode will sometimes spontaneously, without warning, attempt to mate with non-electric vehicles. “We think this is where hybrids come from,” states an NHTSA official. As the year draws to a close and the holiday season arrives, families across the nation and around the world pause in their busy lives to pray — as people have prayed for more than 2,000 years — that their flights will not be canceled. The economy gets a welcome boost from strong retail sales, led by the high demand for the year’s hottest holiday item, black-market Ozempic, which explains why Santa Claus is down to 135 pounds. Finally, mercifully, 2023 comes to an end, making way for the new year, which – barring some previously unforeseen effect of global climate change — will be 2024. This means we’re about to have another presidential election, an event that is generating the same level of enthusiasm in the American voting public as getting a colonoscopy at Jiffy Lube. Because if the polls are right, we’re going to wind up nominating the same two candidates as last time. And if the polls are right, we don’t really want either one. In other words, if the polls are right, we, as a nation, are insane. But does that mean the situation is hopeless? After all, things can change. We can’t rule out the possibility that somehow, in the coming year, a new leader will emerge — someone confident, someone decisive, someone unafraid to take bold action. We are referring, of course, to Dottie Weisenflanker. So to answer our own question: Yes, the situation is hopeless. But Happy New Year anyway.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 29 Dec 23 - 05:48 AM In America's awakening to the glory of fascism, not to be confused with 'woke', the methods of threats, shootings, and terrorism are being enhanced with new definitions and practices. Opponents are vermin, the law is weaponized by vermin and best of all vermin are edible. However, recipes call for higher oven temperatures depending on race and religion. Also, the word slavery is for now to be referred to as 'service'. For example, the Civil War was fought over the freedom of service and private property. |

They have had a breakthrough in their development of a hybrid of Platypus venom combined with fire ant venom The unequaled pain can last from 2 days to 2 weeks. It far exceeds pulling out fingernails, breaking thumbs, or burning out eyes yet does not significantly maim or cause death. It is being promoted as a humane political tool that works better than Putin's methods. The fact that not even morphine can relieve the pain is seen as its great advantage. Technicians have nick-named it 'bottled hell'. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 28 Aug 23 - 09:52 PM Hi Mom! Burned my left middle finger the other day taking a pan out of the oven. Now I have a nifty blister. Not to mention my visit to the dermatologist and the podiatrist today. Nothing major in either case. I have two doctor visits and Pat only had one!! Only she had a xray and I didn't. The Catholic Church here grabbed me and told me to teach a 45 minute class on the various ecumenical councils. This is the result of telling someone over a year ago that I thought Catholics needed to know what Vatican 2 said (lots of them seem not to know, or at least the ones I know seem to lack the knowledge). Rather than be declared anathema and never get to go into the Portneuf Valley Brewery again, I agreed to do it. Fortunately, the thing is held in said Brewery and and I have to spread the stuff for only 45 minutes while the audience swills good beer. If I get questions I can't answer I'll the asker to ask a priest instead of a retired librarian. Having given life-long-learning classes people seem to like on topics which included the role of the steamboat in opening the American West, past pandemics, two on dueling, the Second Korean War, crime in Idaho 1840-1910, and others I guess they thought I'd be a good pick. At least I'll do a better job that some of the folks here I could mention. Maybe I'll declare everyone who attends anathema maranantha and make them go to the Vatican to get it lifted. As you can tell, I've started. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 30 Sep 23 - 01:08 PM Maybe Gluon can fix this? "Excitement" is her middle name (what's her last name?) Oops! US Space Force may have accidentally punched a hole in the upper atmosphere The surprise rocket initially caught people's eye after creating an enormous exhaust plume that could be seen from more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) away. But after the plume dissipated, a faint red glow remained in the sky, which is a telltale sign that the rocket created a hole in the ionosphere — the part of Earth's atmosphere where gases are ionized, which stretches between 50 and 400 miles (80 and 645 km) above Earth's surface — Spaceweather.com reported. . . .Rockets create ionospheric holes when fuel from their second stages burns in the middle part of the ionosphere, between 125 and 185 miles (200 and 300 km) above Earth's surface, Live Science previously reported. At this height, the carbon dioxide and water vapor from the rocket's exhaust cause ionized oxygen atoms to recombine, or form back into normal oxygen molecules. This process excites the molecules and leads them to emit energy in the form of light. This is similar to how auroras form, except the dancing lights are caused by solar radiation heating up gases rather than their recombination. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 17 Oct 23 - 12:54 PM You see, GO's recognize our species as still intrinsically dependent on wilderness and wilderness rules.

Our mistake could be called anthropomorphic, projecting our feelings and understanding on other species. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 15 Oct 23 - 07:10 AM It is a mistake to judge the GO by human standards. The boys upstairs have very different intentions and uncontrolled impulses. An extra billion years of evolution makes a big difference. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 09 Oct 23 - 02:35 PM Furthermore, the GO do care and only understand us too well. Nearly every answer we derive eventually needs changing. The GO have seen this and even recognizes we are most invested in the mystery and not the conclusion. They have maintained the mystery for our benefit, sometimes at great sacrifice or risk. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 09 Oct 23 - 07:05 AM That is misinformation from the 1960s. GOs don't need protein. While we run on ATP Adenosine Triphosphate, They run on 110 volts. For dessert, they make a delicious iron-based mousse from cattle blood. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 07 Oct 23 - 12:17 PM Einstein experienced deep time when he felt the merging of past present and future with such awe, he called it just 'being' in the most profound sense of the word. He was so close to the missing element of physics that I suspect he was too embarrassed to admit the obvious. That sense of deep time can also be called the sacred awe. You may find it at the nexus of science and religion in an authentic consciousness. Seeing completely is a symptom of this special consciousness. You could watch a flower and a fly walking about when a hummingbird, with the wind and flutter of its wings buffeting the flower but the fly does not fly away by instinct. Instead, it stays on the flower as if it sees the hummingbird as no threat and reasons that it need not dart away. One has to look for consciousness in all life to see it. Where you see deeply you may be surprised but you are not crazy. You are just seeing with renewed eyes. What might come along with seeing deeply, no matter how big or small, can be the surprise of how unconscious some people can be. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of New Physics From: Donuel Date: 07 Oct 23 - 10:03 AM Most of us are aware that not even Einstein could unite Quantum Mechanics with General Relativity. Something fundamental was missing. For a couple hundred years smallism dominated the search to find ever more fundamental qualities of the universe. The rabbit hole of smallism is string theory and is stuck in the complexity of multiple dimensions of an unknown number. Maxwell found that electromagnetism could not be explained by the fundamentals of mass, energy and space so he sought fundamental laws for just EM. He gave us the fundamental equations that only deal with electrodynamics. In a similar way we need to apply this fundamental search for only the missing/uniting qualities of the universe. That search brings us to the crazy idea in which we are all immersed, like water is to fish. That fundamental quality is Consciousness. Some scientists cried 'This is impossible since science is objective and consciousness is subjective'. Of course, materialistic science is objective but look at the clues of quantum mechanics with all possible paths. A theory of consciousness is emerging slowly today with the help of Penrose and others but the idea has been around for a very long time. The theories so far apply to any place where information is transferred. New organelles of brain tissue are demonstrating the theory of panpsychism when two organelles fuse together on their own. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 28 Sep 23 - 08:47 AM You could editorialize the social changes, expertise, empathy, and quality of posts that have changed over a quarter century if there are any. Today its more rare for current threads to turn into a Republican debate of shouting chaos. I think there is a persistent reason why certain brains wire themselves to troll and stigmatize free thought. We all create the brain we have throughout our entire life via brain plasticity and our own thoughts. "Neurons that fire together, wire together." Freud and later Hebb introduced this idea but that is only half the story. There is also a garden-like pruning of connectedness and waste, "if you don't sync you lose the link." Pruning our brains occurs in sleep with microglial cells. Self-directed practiced thought can acquire skills in music, geometry, and virtually anything possible in a positive or a negative direction. Some may practice free thought and some practice the opposite. Metaphorically, I will be catching up on some sleep. |

First I will visit my family in the Midwest, and then I'm flying to Norway for another session of looting and plundering. The reason I'm going to see family is to take orders for the looting, etc. But I'll be able to check in now and then, so be careful, okay? |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 23 Oct 23 - 07:23 AM Deep in the bowels of the CIA at Langly, there is an appendix lab that works on 'humane' torture. They have had a breakthrough in their development of a hybrid of Platypus venom combined with fire ant venom The unequaled pain can last from 2 days to 2 weeks. It far exceeds pulling out fingernails, breaking thumbs, or burning out eyes yet does not significantly maim or cause death. It is being promoted as a humane political tool that works better than Putin's methods. The fact that not even morphine can relieve the pain is seen as its great advantage. Technicians have nick-named it 'bottled hell'. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 17 Oct 23 - 12:54 PM You see, GO's recognize our species as still intrinsically dependent on wilderness and wilderness rules. They on the other hand, living in artificial and bounded environments developed a different life plan for survival. Our mistake could be called anthropomorphic, projecting our feelings and understanding on other species. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 15 Oct 23 - 07:10 AM It is a mistake to judge the GO by human standards. The boys upstairs have very different intentions and uncontrolled impulses. An extra billion years of evolution makes a big difference. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 09 Oct 23 - 02:35 PM Furthermore, the GO do care and only understand us too well. Nearly every answer we derive eventually needs changing. The GO have seen this and even recognizes we are most invested in the mystery and not the conclusion. They have maintained the mystery for our benefit, sometimes at great sacrifice or risk. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 09 Oct 23 - 07:05 AM That is misinformation from the 1960s. GOs don't need protein. While we run on ATP Adenosine Triphosphate, They run on 110 volts. For dessert, they make a delicious iron-based mousse from cattle blood. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 07 Oct 23 - 12:17 PM Einstein experienced deep time when he felt the merging of past present and future with such awe, he called it just 'being' in the most profound sense of the word. He was so close to the missing element of physics that I suspect he was too embarrassed to admit the obvious. That sense of deep time can also be called the sacred awe. You may find it at the nexus of science and religion in an authentic consciousness. Seeing completely is a symptom of this special consciousness. You could watch a flower and a fly walking about when a hummingbird, with the wind and flutter of its wings buffeting the flower but the fly does not fly away by instinct. Instead, it stays on the flower as if it sees the hummingbird as no threat and reasons that it need not dart away. One has to look for consciousness in all life to see it. Where you see deeply you may be surprised but you are not crazy. You are just seeing with renewed eyes. What might come along with seeing deeply, no matter how big or small, can be the surprise of how unconscious some people can be. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of New Physics From: Donuel Date: 07 Oct 23 - 10:03 AM Most of us are aware that not even Einstein could unite Quantum Mechanics with General Relativity. Something fundamental was missing. For a couple hundred years smallism dominated the search to find ever more fundamental qualities of the universe. The rabbit hole of smallism is string theory and is stuck in the complexity of multiple dimensions of an unknown number. Maxwell found that electromagnetism could not be explained by the fundamentals of mass, energy and space so he sought fundamental laws for just EM. He gave us the fundamental equations that only deal with electrodynamics. In a similar way we need to apply this fundamental search for only the missing/uniting qualities of the universe. That search brings us to the crazy idea in which we are all immersed, like water is to fish. That fundamental quality is Consciousness. Some scientists cried 'This is impossible since science is objective and consciousness is subjective'. Of course, materialistic science is objective but look at the clues of quantum mechanics with all possible paths. A theory of consciousness is emerging slowly today with the help of Penrose and others but the idea has been around for a very long time. The theories so far apply to any place where information is transferred. New organelles of brain tissue are demonstrating the theory of panpsychism when two organelles fuse together on their own. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 30 Sep 23 - 01:08 PM Maybe Gluon can fix this? "Excitement" is her middle name (what's her last name?) Oops! US Space Force may have accidentally punched a hole in the upper atmosphere The surprise rocket initially caught people's eye after creating an enormous exhaust plume that could be seen from more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) away. But after the plume dissipated, a faint red glow remained in the sky, which is a telltale sign that the rocket created a hole in the ionosphere — the part of Earth's atmosphere where gases are ionized, which stretches between 50 and 400 miles (80 and 645 km) above Earth's surface — Spaceweather.com reported. . . .Rockets create ionospheric holes when fuel from their second stages burns in the middle part of the ionosphere, between 125 and 185 miles (200 and 300 km) above Earth's surface, Live Science previously reported. At this height, the carbon dioxide and water vapor from the rocket's exhaust cause ionized oxygen atoms to recombine, or form back into normal oxygen molecules. This process excites the molecules and leads them to emit energy in the form of light. This is similar to how auroras form, except the dancing lights are caused by solar radiation heating up gases rather than their recombination. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 28 Sep 23 - 08:47 AM You could editorialize the social changes, expertise, empathy, and quality of posts that have changed over a quarter century if there are any. Today its more rare for current threads to turn into a Republican debate of shouting chaos. I think there is a persistent reason why certain brains wire themselves to troll and stigmatize free thought. We all create the brain we have throughout our entire life via brain plasticity and our own thoughts. "Neurons that fire together, wire together." Freud and later Hebb introduced this idea but that is only half the story. There is also a garden-like pruning of connectedness and waste, "if you don't sync you lose the link." Pruning our brains occurs in sleep with microglial cells. Self-directed practiced thought can acquire skills in music, geometry, and virtually anything possible in a positive or a negative direction. Some may practice free thought and some practice the opposite. Metaphorically, I will be catching up on some sleep. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 28 Aug 23 - 09:52 PM Hi Mom! Burned my left middle finger the other day taking a pan out of the oven. Now I have a nifty blister. Not to mention my visit to the dermatologist and the podiatrist today. Nothing major in either case. I have two doctor visits and Pat only had one!! Only she had a xray and I didn't. The Catholic Church here grabbed me and told me to teach a 45 minute class on the various ecumenical councils. This is the result of telling someone over a year ago that I thought Catholics needed to know what Vatican 2 said (lots of them seem not to know, or at least the ones I know seem to lack the knowledge). Rather than be declared anathema and never get to go into the Portneuf Valley Brewery again, I agreed to do it. Fortunately, the thing is held in said Brewery and and I have to spread the stuff for only 45 minutes while the audience swills good beer. If I get questions I can't answer I'll the asker to ask a priest instead of a retired librarian. Having given life-long-learning classes people seem to like on topics which included the role of the steamboat in opening the American West, past pandemics, two on dueling, the Second Korean War, crime in Idaho 1840-1910, and others I guess they thought I'd be a good pick. At least I'll do a better job that some of the folks here I could mention. Maybe I'll declare everyone who attends anathema maranantha and make them go to the Vatican to get it lifted. As you can tell, I've started. |

But AI warfare is not approved by Congress and... Screw Congress, this is a matter of National security and China is probably ahead of us and could share with Russia. We can't have an AI GAP! Make project AK (Autonomous Kill) go full speed ahead. Every war begins by using the last war's weapons and strategy and then get to test our new stuff, This Ukraine war is an ideal battleground to wage our first false flag AI war. I suggest we misdirect by advertising the use of our outdated weapons like cluster bombs. Good thinking, we have to keep this move eyes only. Once you do this you can't interrupt AI strategy which may be totally alien to anything we would do. Aborting the mission won't be an option anymore. Bullshit, don't talk about pulling the plug before we even begin. Yes sir. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Jun 23 - 06:43 PM Google says nazitocin is BS - so this is the right place for the conjecture. But gun violence and the proliferation of guns isn't BS. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 07 Jun 23 - 01:16 PM Mobile air monitoring has found pollutants that have formed the opposite chemical hormone to oxytocin, nazitocin.

During the 10 year old's funeral another mass shooting killed 5 of the mourners and another 10 at the funerals of the 10 mourners etc. To date 30,000 have been shot. Gun enthusiasts blame the lack of air fresheners to combat the nazitocin in the air. |

There is a distinct difference between bawdy and sexy humor over porn and LGBQT+-bashing memes. The new bad apples brought in their friends. (No restrictions on who added people.) I complained privately, it didn't work; complaining on the page only give them glee. I got tired of blocking the new porn folks and just left the building. Too bad. It was good for a while. |

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound And a wave broke over his railing And every man knew, as the Donald did too T'was the witch of November come stealin' The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait When campaigns of November came slashin' When afternoon came votes felt like freezin' rain In the face of a hurricane west wind When suppertime came, the old cook came in sayin' "Fellas, it's too late to feed ya" At seven PM, the election caved in, he said "Fellas, it's been good to know ya" Then Rudy phoned in he had bad news comin' in And the campaign and crew was in peril And later that night when his lights went outta sight Came the wreck of the Donald J Trump run Does any one know where the love of God goes When the truth turns the minutes to hours? The broadcaster all say if he had more votes that day If they'd put fifteen more States behind him They might have split up or they might have capsized They may have broke deep and went to jail And all that remains is the faces and the names Of the wives and the sons and the daughters Internet rolls, television sings In the rooms of his golf resort mansion Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams The islands and bays are for sportsmen And farther below Mason Dixon Takes in what history sends her And candidates go as the politicos all know With campaigns of November remembered In a musty old hall in old Queens they prayed In the maritime sailors' cathedral The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times For each man on the Donald Trump ticket The legend lives on from Manhatten on down Of the big lie they called lets play dirty America, they said, never gives up her dead When campaigns of November come early |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 10 May 23 - 01:47 PM As you know some long arms have programmable features that are complex but that does not mean it can save prep and sizing time of fabric. here is a basic link https://thequiltshow.com/see-quilts/featured-quilts/fabulous-welcome-brigitte-villeneuve-diane-cote-doris-boivin#gallery But I could send personal phone pictures by e-mail that could be manipulated at will.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 May 23 - 12:09 PM I won't dismiss your cellulitis info (I hope no one here has it) but back to the quilt - thanks for sharing the link, I wasn't finding a way to enlarge the one connected with the museum itself. When the longarm machine is used (I have a friend with one, but it's out in West Texas so I haven't been by to see how it works) is the whole work programmed or does a person stand by and direct the stitching as it happens? Or both. It seems possible to end up off target and not have the outlines you want unless someone operates it manually? I'm told those long arm devices are very expensive. My friend bought hers about 20 years ago, and I think it's still going strong. Takes up an entire outbuilding on their property. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 10 May 23 - 08:12 AM Patients with a history of cellulitis, particularly of the lower limbs, have an estimated recurrence rate of 8–20%.12 Patients with recurrent cellulitis should be carefully evaluated for any predisposing factors such as lower limb edema, lymphoedema, dermatitis, tinea pedis, and measures taken to address them. Patients with three to four episodes of cellulitis per year despite addressing predisposing factors could be considered for prophylactic antimicrobial therapy so long as those factors persist. A randomised controlled trial of phenoxymethylpenicillin prophylaxis in patients with a history of recurrent cellulitis showed a reduced rate of recurrence in the treatment group with a hazard ratio of 0.55 The recurrence is due to dozens or hundreds of encapsulated strep or staff that can leak into the surrounding tissue. When those pockets progress deep into the body it can be life-threatening. This reminds me of King Henry the 8th and a usual suspect. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 01 May 23 - 09:02 PM Tomorrow morning I go out to the shooting range to teach a woman how to use a .32ACP Beretta Bobcat (Model 2032). She's a single mom and manages the bar and dining facilities at the Elks Lodge. She WANTS to learn, so I'll teach. I'll teach her safety and the legalities of gun ownership as well as how to hit what she shoots at. Her daughter, while in college in Portland and working at Alberson's supermarket, had to tase three different people (she moves to Moscow this fall). I will take a lever action .22 rifle, a bolt action 5.56x45mm rifle, two 9mm semiautomatic pistols, and two .22 Long Rifle revolvers. My intent is to acquaint her with different firearms so she can know how to use them safely and without fear. I have been shooting for 66 years come September. I have all my life advocated rational gun control. If my being a gun owner bothers you, I shan't apologize as I find competition shooting at targets (paper, etc.) a good sport where I compete against me. |

Take a large heavy-based saucepan and gently heat the oil. Gently fry the fresh mushrooms, onions and frozen mushrooms for 5 min. Pour all the wine into the pan and let it boil until the wine has reduced to almost nothing. Add the water to the pan. Now add the dried mushrooms and stir. Add the mushroom powder into the pan and let the mixture boil for 20 min. Now add the cream into the pot and let it simmer for 60 min. In a small pan place 100 g of butter, heat gently and let it melt, then add flour into it and combine it together to make a roux. Whisk the roux mixture into the soup and continue whisking until the soup thickens. Let the soup simmer for 10 min and then add the remaining 200 g of the butter. Blitz the soup with a hand-held blender. Season with salt and pepper, also it is very good to add a little bit of sherry vinegar at the end. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 10 Apr 23 - 02:27 PM The Unknown Citizen W. H. Auden (To JS/07 M 378 This Marble Monument Is Erected by the State) He was found by the Bureau of Statistics to be One against whom there was no official complaint, And all the reports on his conduct agree That, in the modern sense of an old-fashioned word, he was a saint, For in everything he did he served the Greater Community. Except for the War till the day he retired He worked in a factory and never got fired, But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc. Yet he wasn't a scab or odd in his views, For his Union reports that he paid his dues, (Our report on his Union shows it was sound) And our Social Psychology workers found That he was popular with his mates and liked a drink. The Press are convinced that he bought a paper every day And that his reactions to advertisements were normal in every way. Policies taken out in his name prove that he was fully insured, And his Health-card shows he was once in hospital but left it cured. Both Producers Research and High-Grade Living declare He was fully sensible to the advantages of the Instalment Plan And had everything necessary to the Modern Man, A phonograph, a radio, a car and a frigidaire. Our researchers into Public Opinion are content That he held the proper opinions for the time of year; When there was peace, he was for peace: when there was war, he went. He was married and added five children to the population, Which our Eugenist says was the right number for a parent of his generation. And our teachers report that he never interfered with their education. Was he free? Was he happy? The question is absurd: Had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard. |

Their knickers are made of crêpe-de-chine, their shoes are made of python, Their halls are lined with tiger rugs and their walls with heads of bison. John MacDonald found a corpse, put it under the sofa, Waited till it came to life and hit it with a poker, Sold its eyes for souvenirs, sold its blood for whisky, Kept its bones for dumb-bells to use when he was fifty. It’s no go the Yogi-Man, it’s no go Blavatsky, All we want is a bank balance and a bit of skirt in a taxi. Annie MacDougall went to milk, caught her foot in the heather, Woke to hear a dance record playing of Old Vienna. It’s no go your maidenheads, it’s no go your culture, All we want is a Dunlop tyre and the devil mend the puncture. The Laird o’Phelps spent Hogmanay declaring he was sober, Counted his feet to prove the fact and found he had one foot over. Mrs Carmichael had her fifth, looked at the job with repulsion, Said to the midwife ‘Take it away; I’m through with over-production’. It’s no go the gossip column, it’s no go the Ceilidh, All we want is a mother’s help and a sugar-stick for the baby. Willie Murray cut his thumb, couldn’t count the damage, Took the hide of an Ayrshire cow and used it for a bandage. His brother caught three hundred cran when the seas were lavish, Threw the bleeders back in the sea and went upon the parish. It’s no go the Herring Board, it’s no go the Bible, All we want is a packet of fags when our hands are idle. It’s no go the picture palace, it’s no go the stadium, It’s no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums, It’s no go the Government grants, it’s no go the elections, Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension. It’s no go my honey love, it’s no go my poppet; Work your hands from day to day, the winds will blow the profit. The glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall forever, But if you break the bloody glass you won’t hold up the weather. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 05 Apr 23 - 09:05 PM A lovely poem by Ogden Nash! A Tale Of The Thirteenth Floor The hands of the clock were reaching high In an old midtown hotel; I name no name, but its sordid fame Is table talk in hell. I name no name, but hell's own flame Illumes the lobby garish, A gilded snare just off Times Square For the maidens of the parish. The revolving door swept the grimy floor Like a crinoline grotesque, And a lowly bum from an ancient slum Crept furtively past the desk. His footsteps sift into the lift As a knife in the sheath is slipped, Stealthy and swift into the lift As a vampire into a crypt. Old Maxie, the elevator boy, Was reading an ode by Shelley, But he dropped the ode as it were a toad When the gun jammed into his belly. There came a whisper as soft as mud In the bed of an old canal: "Take me up to the suite of Pinball Pete, The rat who betrayed my gal." The lift doth rise with groans and sighs Like a duchess for the waltz, Then in middle shaft, like a duchess daft, It changes its mind and halts. The bum bites lip as the landlocked ship Doth neither fall nor rise, But Maxie the elevator boy Regards him with burning eyes. "First, to explore the thirteenth floor," Says Maxie, "would be wise." Quoth the bum, "There is moss on your double cross, I have been this way before, I have cased the joint at every point, And there is no thirteenth floor. The architect he skipped direct From twelve unto fourteen, There is twelve below and fourteen above, And nothing in between, For the vermin who dwell in this hotel Could never abide thirteen." Said Max, "Thirteen, that floor obscene, Is hidden from human sight; But once a year it doth appear, On this Walpurgis Night. Ere you peril your soul in murderer's role, Heed those who sinned of yore; The path they trod led away from God, And onto the thirteenth floor, Where those they slew, a grisly crew, Reproach them forevermore. "We are higher than twelve and below fourteen," Said Maxie to the bum, "And the sickening draft that taints the shaft Is a whiff of kingdom come. The sickening draft that taints the shaft Blows through the devil's door!" And he squashed the latch like a fungus patch, And revealed the thirteenth floor. It was cheap cigars like lurid scars That glowed in the rancid gloom, The murk was a-boil with fusel oil And the reek of stale perfume. And round and round there dragged and wound A loathsome conga chain, The square and the hep in slow lock step, The slayer and the slain. (For the souls of the victims ascend on high, But their bodies below remain.) The clean souls fly to their home in the sky, But their bodies remain below To pursue the Cain who each has slain And harry him to and fro. When life is extinct each corpse is linked To its gibbering murderer, As a chicken is bound with wire around The neck of a killer cur. Handcuffed to Hate come Doctor Waite (He tastes the poison now), And Ruth and Judd and a head of blood With horns upon its brow. Up sashays Nan with her feathery fan From Floradora bright; She never hung for Caesar Young But she's dancing with him tonight. Here's the bulging hip and the foam-flecked lip Of the mad dog, Vincent Coll, And over there that ill-met pair, Becker and Rosenthal, Here's Legs and Dutch and a dozen such Of braggart bullies and brutes, And each one bends 'neath the weight of friends Who are wearing concrete suits. Now the damned make way for the double-damned Who emerge with shuffling pace From the nightmare zone of persons unknown, With neither name nor face. And poor Dot King to one doth cling, Joined in a ghastly jig, While Elwell doth jape at a goblin shape And tickle it with his wig. See Rothstein pass like breath on a glass, The original Black Sox kid; He riffles the pack, riding piggyback On the killer whose name he hid. And smeared like brine on a slavering swine, Starr Faithful, once so fair, Drawn from the sea to her debauchee, With the salt sand in her hair. And still they come, and from the bum The icy sweat doth spray; His white lips scream as in a dream, "For God's sake, let's away! If ever I meet with Pinball Pete I will not seek his gore, Lest a treadmill grim I must trudge with him On the hideous thirteenth floor." "For you I rejoice," said Maxie's voice, "And I bid you go in peace, But I am late for a dancing date That nevermore will cease. So remember, friend, as your way you wend, That it would have happened to you, But I turned the heat on Pinball Pete; You see - I had a daughter, too!" The bum reached out and he tried to shout, But the door in his face was slammed, And silent as stone he rode down alone From the floor of the double-damned. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 05 Mar 23 - 08:26 PM Just a happy and cheerful poem about snow and snowing by James Russell Lowell. The snow had begun in the gloaming, And busily all the night Had been heaping field and highway With a silence deep and white. Every pine and fir and hemlock Wore ermine too dear for an earl, And the poorest twig on the elm-tree Was ridged inch deep with pearl. From sheds new-roofed with Carrara Came Chanticleer's muffled crow, The stiff rails were softened to swan's-down, And still fluttered down the snow. I stood and watched by the window The noiseless work of the sky, And the sudden flurries of snow-birds, Like brown leaves whirling by. I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn Where a little headstone stood; How the flakes were folding it gently, As did robins the babes in the wood. Up spoke our own little Mabel, Saying, "Father, who makes it snow?" And I told of the good All-father Who cares for us here below. Again I looked at the snow-fall, And thought of the leaden sky That arched o'er our first great sorrow, When that mound was heaped so high. I remembered the gradual patience That fell from that cloud-like snow, Flake by flake, healing and hiding The scar of our deep-plunged woe. And again to the child I whispered, "The snow that husheth all, Darling, the merciful Father Alone can make it fall!" Then, with eyes that saw not, I kissed her; And she, kissing back, could not know That my kiss was given to her sister, Folded close under deepening snow. |

Stopping By The Woods On A Snowy Evening By Donald J. Trump I have a pretty good idea whose woods these are, believe me. And let me tell you something, my people say he’s a complete nobody. This guy lives in the village. So what if he sees me stopping here? I dare him to sue me! I dare him! And by the way, this snow is pathetic. These are by far, the least downy flakes ever! I hear they had to import them from Canada. I don’t know. Maybe they did. Maybe they didn’t. We’re looking into it. My horse – he’s the most incredible horse, seriously, I have the greatest, the classiest horses – My horse doesn’t even know what the hell we’re doing here. The horses love me though. They do. They’re always shaking their bells at me, it’s very loving. It’s a beautiful thing. Let me tell you something, these woods are an embarrassment. They’re not dark. They’re not deep. They’re nothing. They’re for losers. And I cannot wait to sue this guy. I cannot wait to sue this guy. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 22 Feb 23 - 12:03 PM The lost letters and editorials of America's Sherriff Andy Griffith; [If he had lived longer he could have beaten Trump] 2006 If you consider where all the violence is occurring, where racial hate and race riots take place, it is overwhelmingly in blue cities ruled by Democrats, in many cases having been so ruled for decades. Los Angeles and Chicago are prime examples. And in all of these cases, the mayhem extends to the suburbs, as we are currently seeing in Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Minneapolis. Venture out into rural America or further out into the suburbs from the cities, as Nolte says, and America is overwhelmingly a safe, peaceful, clean and racially tolerant country. Yet if you watch CNN, or read rags like the New York Times¸ the Washington Post¸ and any number of left-wing media sources, they blame Republicans for their issues. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2007 Liberals blame Republicans for the violence and racism that overwhelmingly affects only their communities, ignoring the fact that despite the fact the overwhelming majority of legally owned firearms are in the suburbs and rural areas of the country, violence in those communities is rare. They claim that Republicans are racists, but it is they who use politically advantageous initiatives such as vote ID to make the claim in essence that blacks and other minorities are either too stupid or ignorant to be able to obtain proper identification in order to vote. They take them for granted because they can, because they know that blacks will vote Democrat in the 90th percentile, no matter the fact Democrats have done nothing to improve their lives in 50 years. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 Democrats claim they want to live in some type of Utopia, free of gun violence, pollution, and racism. They believe that by implementing their vision of Utopia that magically the gun violence, pollution and racism will disappear. Yet it is they who create it. [As Griffith opines, there is such a Utopia already in existence, a place he calls Rural MAGA Land. He says that in rural America, “the environment is clean, no one worries about getting shot, and there are no racial tensions.” He then goes on to cite a personal example. Griffith lives in rural North Carolina, married to Mexican immigrant. He says nobody…nobody has ever had an issue with his interracial marriage. He lives next door to a mixed race family…black and white. Again, they never had a problem. His other neighbor is a couple with mixed-race grandchildren. Black, white and brown…again he says "no problem."] ------------------------------------------------------------------ [This of course causes Griffith to pose a simple question. “If Rural America is where all the racists are supposed to live, where’s all the racism in Rural America?”Andy said in the county he lives in, everyone he knows owns guns, in some cases more than one, yet he says he cannot remember the last time there was a shooting in his county, where he says “shoplifting still makes the front page.”] ------------------------------------------------------- 2007 In my area of rural North Carolina, the Department of Justice reported that for the entire year there were a total of 20 hate crime allegations in 13 rural counties, with a population of around 668,000. That translated to 2.9 hate crime allegations per 100,000 Now visit progressive, left-wing lala land cities and see how they compare. Portland, OR- 5.75 reported hate crime incidents per 100,000 population Boulder, CO- 7.9 incidents per 100,000 San Francisco, CA- 7.2 incidents per 100,000 Alexandria, VA- 3.1 incidents per 100,000 Arlington, VA- 4.7 incidents per 100,000 Seattle, WA- 40…that’s right 40 per 100,000 Washington, DC- 29…not a typo, 29 per 100,000 How about the epitome of liberalism, Berkeley, CA? 6.5 per 100,000. So what do these numbers tell us? Basically that people who are looking to avoid being victimized by hate crime are much better of in Rural MAGA Land than in crap hole cities run by Democrats. But, you might say…there aren’t as many minorities living out in rural America. Once again, that doesn’t matter and Andy Griffith explains why. Comment by Charles Koch. Jan, 2008 If minorities are vastly outnumbered in rural America, and if the hayseed right wingers are so racist, why then doesn’t that translate to more hate crimes per capita than in the cities. Remember, this is per capita, not total numbers. For example, and this is important given what is going on in our country with crime, which has been on the increase over the past year or so. In rural America, the Asian population is under one percent. Despite the fact the mainstream media is trying to pin crime on “right wing extremists,” there is no Asian hate-crime crisis in the suburbs or rural areas of the country. They are occurring overwhelmingly in cities run by Democrats—New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles come to mind. Let’s circle over to gun violence. Mayberry's TV Sherriff says that an overwhelming number of people in rural areas own guns, yet the gun violence in rural areas compared to in the cities pales in comparison on a per capita basis. And what of gun control? Cities such as Chicago, Washington, DC and New York have the toughest gun laws in the country. Yet where is all the gun violence? Not in rural America but in Democratic run cities. And what about those mayors? Chicago hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1931. Philadelphia last Republican mayor 1952. Baltimore, Democrats since 1967…St. Louis Democrats since 1949…Washington, DC…NEVER had a Republican mayor. You get the point. Every single one of America’s most violent cities has been run exclusively by Democrats for decades. Here is a list of the 10 most dangerous cities in America from 2011…all run by Democrats. Detroit- 1,965 per 100,000 St. Louis- 1,927 per 100,000 Memphis- 1,901 per 100,000 Baltimore- 1,859 per 100,000 Springfield- 1,519 per 100,000 Little Rock- 1,517 per 100,000 Cleveland- 1,517 per 100,000 Stockton (CA)- 1,397 per 100,00 Albuquerque- 1,352 per 100,00 Milwaukee- 1,332 per 100,000 Rural America? In North Carolina per capita: Lenoir- 436 per 100,000 Wilkesboro- 434 per 100,000 Hickory- 410 per 100,000 Rural America has drug problems like much of the country, helped in part by Obama's loose open-border policy where Fentanyl is coming into the country at a record pace. The difference between the drug problem in cities and the suburbs and rural areas? The latter doesn’t have the murder, gangs, gun violence, carjacking and related crimes to go along with it. Poverty in the rural areas tends to be higher than in the cities. Despite that, once again there isn’t the murder, gang violence, gun violence, etc. No riots…no looting. What of the environment? Remember, Bush voters are anti-environment, right? They don’t abide by the religion of global warming or as it’s called now, climate change. ----------------------------------------------------------- 2012 Where would you rather live? Where the trees and grass are green, where rivers and streams are clean, there isn’t garbage strewn on the streets, homeless aren’t defecating on the sidewalks. Who is anti-environment again? So what is the Democrats solution? To clean up their cities? Hell no. They want to take city problems and bring them to the suburbs and rural America. Why do you think the Obama administration wants to federalize zoning rules? Why do you think inside Obama’s plan is a scheme to build millions of “affordable” housing units not in the cities but in the suburbs? They want to expand crap hole cities into rural America, to turn the entire country into giant cesspools like Baltimore, Chicago, Portland, Seattle and San Francisco. Look at New York? In the few years since de Blasio has been mayor, that city has gone from a fairly safe, clean city to a crime infested swamp. He took 16 years of low-crime and community pride and flushed it in half that time. For those who live in Rural America, life is sweet, safe and clean. So blame conservatives and Democrat voters for the problems in what used to be beautiful, clean American cities. Then look in the mirror…that is where the blame belongs.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 17 Feb 23 - 11:28 AM Odd shopping news this week, suitable only for the MOAB thread: I went looking for a special kind of plastic plank called Attic Dek (manufacturer is "Metro" for most of it) and while poking around the big box hardware stores and Amazon, scrolled down through Google shopping results and found that, of all places, NewEgg was selling them for $88 for a pack of 4 when the closest price I was finding elsewhere was about $112 and up. Confirmed it was the same product and it had free shipping. Ordered. It was drop-shipped from Walmart! So the third party hardware store selling through NewEgg bought them at Walmart and shipped? But when I look at Walmart online they're something like $134 for four. I don't know how they managed that magic trick, but this time it seems to have worked in my favor. That is all. I found a Reddit conversation that discussed how it happens, but it usually doesn't work in your favor. http://bit.ly/3S7xA6O |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 16 Feb 23 - 09:14 AM The greatest trainwreck in Human History has happened in America. A two mile long train carrying ;Vinyl chloride: A highly flammable colorless gas used when making plastic is a known carcinogenic. Once it is made into PVC pipe it is no longer toxic or deadly. • Butyl acrylate: A flammable clear liquid used in making paints can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. • Ethylhexyl acrylate: A colorless liquid used in making paints and plastics can produce hazardous vapors under heat. • Ethylene glycol monobutyl: A highly flammable colorless liquid used in making solvent is deemed as acutely toxic. Additional materials that were involved in the fire included petrochemicals and semolina. How long they will persist is the main factor. I had a personal experience seeing a victim of vinyl chloride in Rochester NY 40 years ago. The only consciousness the grandmother had was of panic knowing something happened to her but could not escape. Her IQ seemed below 50. The exposure did come from a single rail car of the chemical behind her house. She was trapped in an eternal hell. As fish birds and animals are dying in mass numbers the people were told they could return home. Deliberate Burning this deadly chemical cocktail was a bad idea imo. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 02 Feb 23 - 04:47 PM The history of the United States of America has been discovered after centuries of cover-ups and leftist conspiracies to indoctrinate our citizens with fictitious facts, Finally, freedom, faith, and the American family will be taught in an unbiased format. We wish to thank our treasured historians Donald J. Trump, Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene and hundreds of contributors from the Heritage Foundation for their research. [This is the official and complete history of the USA by the Republican National Committee and not the abridged alternative social truth targets of our respected and esteemed colleagues like The Proud Boys and QAnon.] In 1492 Columbo sailed the Ocean blue with his destination set on an alternative route to India. To his surprise, he arrived in Haiti where he fought off Small Pox and the savages. By the time this news reached England, some very pure people from Plymouth believed their promised land for religious freedom would be found in the new world. They moved with Mayflower to move to America. To their delight, they arrived at Plymouth rock. The pure people aka Puritans invited some natives to their housewarming party that today we call Thanksgiving, The fathers of America were born soon after the Renaissance which in Latin means Born Again Christians, not to be confused with toxic wokeness. Americans wanted freedom from the King of Britain. Likewise the King of France faced headaches to come from Antifa rebels in his own country. Philosophers of the day like Rousseau wrote "Man is free but is everywhere in chains". He dreamt of a world where man was master of his own destiny and government. It was the same dream that was tempting European immigrants to come to America in droves and boats. It turns out that building a new world was back-breaking work, so they invited people from Africa and made them do the work instead. You might think these were the same people Rousseau was talking about when he said mankind should throw off its chains but they weren't. Like many humanists, he found a clever loophole by calling blacks only 3/5ths human, or only human from the neck down. When Britain tried to tax America, the citizens cleverly dressed up like Indians and turned Boston Harbor into the biggest cup of tea in the world. Then George Washington crossed the Delaware and defeated the British. in 1776 the founding fathers drafted the best dear John letter in history and established their independence. A list of suggestions was later called the Constitution. United we stood until the Civil War when the North ruthlessly attacked the South. After we invented the light bulb, radio and sliced bread, a negotiated settlement was made and American capitalism and inventions spread planes, trains and automobiles across the country. We also put and end to WW1 and WW2 rebuilt Europe, opened China and chased Russia out of Cuba. Republicans have brought prosperity to America with only a couple of exceptions. They put an end to the Lifetime Presidency of FDR and some say they put a man on the moon. If it had not been for rigged elections the great President in history would still be in power. fact-checked by Wikipedia . |

He never created again except for disasters and floods. Able asked God "could you clear up some of your mistakes like the platypus and other things like woman being smarter..." That was the last we ever heard from Able. When Eve hungrily ate from the tree of knowledge she became vastly smarter than Adam who never read or asked for directions. Mom said "Thats why girls are smarter than boys". Timmy said I never knew that. Mom said "Exactly" |

Even if you are an evangelical WASP I remind you that you have skin in the game and will have to choose between Proud Boys authority or Federal forces guided by the Constitution.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 09 Jan 23 - 11:04 AM was on the fourteenth day of January, From England we set sail, We were bound down to Laguire, With a sweet and pleasant gale; The Roving Lizzie we are called, Bold Donuel is my name, And we sailed away from Laguire, Just out of the Spanish Main. And when we reached Laguire, Our orders did read so, “When you discharge your cargo, It’s sail for Callao,” Our Captain called all hands right aft, And unto us did say, “Here is money for you today, my lads, For tomorrow we’ll sail away.” It was early the next morning, As daylight did draw nigh, The man from at the masthead A strange sail did espy; With a black flag under her mizzen peak, Came bearing down that way; “I’ll be bound she is some pirate,” Bold Donuel he did say. In the course of three or four hours, This pirate ranged alongside, And with a speaking trumpet, “Where are you from?” he cries. “The Roving Lizzie we are called, Bold Donuel is my name, And we sailed away from Laguire, Just out of the Spanish Main.” “Come, back your topsails to your mast, And heave your ship under my lee.” “Oh, no! oh, no!” cried Donuel, I’d rather sink at sea.” They hoisted up their bloody flag, Our hearts to terrify. With their big guns to our small arms, At us they did let fly. We mounted four six-pounders To fight a hundred men, And when the action did begin, It was just about half-past ten; We mounted four six-pounders, Our crew being twenty-two; In the course of an hour and a quarter, Those pirates we did subdue. And now our prize we’ve taken Unto Columbia’s shore, To that dear old place in America, They call sweet Baltimore; We’ll drink success to Donuel, Likewise his gallant crew, That fought and beat that Pirate With his noble twenty-two. |

In this suburb of a largish galaxy in an area adjacent to a visible horizon where most of the universe is beyond our visible horizon and they in turn can not see beyond theirs, here on Earth I witnessed self-centeredness in a nutshell today. A woman coming out of the post office walked excruciatingly slowly across a lane in the parking lot. Owing to the miracle of consciousness a pickup truck stopped to avoid hitting her without her apparent awareness. The pickup truck crept forward as she got in her car and backed up narrowly missing the truck.The truck stopped again as another car ahead of him backed out which prompted the lady behind the truck to honk over and over for not moving. Gradually the car backed out and proceeded forward as the lady still honked at the truck. In a short while all involved will return to carbon and be recycled in a number of ways, some of which will also be self centered as Andromeda careens toward the Milky Way without awareness. . |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 26 Dec 22 - 07:45 AM Physics porn; C Hybrid quantum systems in the ultrastrong, and even more in the deep-strong, coupling regimes can exhibit exotic physical phenomena and promise new applications in quantum technologies. In these nonperturbative regimes, a qubit--resonator system has an entangled quantum vacuum with a nonzero average photon number in the resonator, where the photons are virtual and cannot be directly detected. The vacuum field, however, is able to induce the symmetry breaking of a dispersively coupled probe qubit. We experimentally observe this Higgs-like quantum-vacuum symmetry breaking induced by the field of a lumped-element superconducting resonator deep-strongly coupled with a flux qubit. This result opens a way to experimentally explore the novel quantum-vacuum effects emerging in the deep-strong coupling regime. |

Well, standin’ outside and him all alone, Was an ugly old fella named Blueberry Scone. His legs were splayed and he had pigeon toes, Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose. His ears were all pierced from the top to the tip, And six forty-fives a-ridin’ his hips, He's ugly and old, and he swallers his chaw, You can see with one eye he's a reg'lar outlaw. Well I puts on my guns and likewise my boots, And I says, “Hey, Blueberry, you’re an ugly galoot!” I knew him on sight, I’d dealt with him before, I was powerful glad for my twin forty-fours, Likewise my forty-fives, and my small twenty-two, Three derringer guns, and my old thirty-two, And the folks they all scattered to left and to right Cuz no one in their right mind likes any gun fight. He went for for his guns without even “My Lands!” And before you could spit he had two in his hands He hits me in hat and right near my left boot While I was a-standin’ there countin’ my loot But I slaps my leather while watchin’ my step For I'm still determined on buildin' a rep. I puts one in his shoulder and one in the groin, Yes, I’m slappin’ leather and feelin’ just fine. Well, I dodge to the right and I dodge to the left Cuz I don’t want to leave all my kinfolk bereft. I wheel and I turn and he does the same, We both know the rules of the gunslingin’ game Then he runs out of guns to grab and to throw But I’ve still got one and it’s then that he knows That at this gun flingin’ he’s sure met his match And I throws it just like we’re some kids playin’ catch. Well, I’ve known many gun flingers though out my life, Some of ‘em single and some with a wife, But Blueberry Scone he was one of the best He’d grab and he’d throw and outdo the rest, But one thing I’ve learned as I’ve lived my long life I can out-throw anyone with my Colt forty-five! |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 30 Nov 22 - 11:01 AM Should I OVERSELL or undersell this painting? : OPAL OCEAN. Over 5lbs. (2kg.) of resplendent opals depict a serene shallow sea with an explosion of seabed life for opal lovers. There are over 200 treasured colorful precious, common, and gem opals. The opals are polished, carved, or raw, artfully displaying a feast of opal variations brilliantly on every surface of this masterpiece. Shelf sized - 13x7x6.5 inches. There are adventures in a fractal fantasy micro world of natural opal. Other materials include steel epoxy, E 6000, island foliage, and a cat whisker. Twenty-five years in the designing and millions of years in the creation there are 22 African opals added recently but no doublets or triplets. There is also one suspected simulant opal and one Indonesian scenic stone of volcanic glass. This collection includes a magnifying glass with lights to highlight the play of fire instead of rolling the stones with butterfingers. The pedestal is made of Australian boulder opal slabs and the shallow blue-green sea and dolphins are of Peruvian origin. Hidden details may take years to discover. The artist considers this the 9th symphony in opal. Many Australian miners, carvers, and polishers contributed to this artwork, each bringing life to these vintage living stones containing 6% water. The opals are assembled into a world ranging from the monstrous to the sublime. To my knowledge, something like this has never existed before. There is room for your favorites to be added on the rear vertical rock wall. Sorry, there is no room to describe each of the 200+ opals. Please magnify pictures although not all opals can be photographed. With no provenance/history, this 'new' artwork was rejected sight unseen by Sotheby's. Their loss may be your gain. ==========OR========== This dust catcher is made of very old sand that shines or makes strange patterns. Be the first on your block to buy this whatchamacallit. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 15 Nov 22 - 04:23 PM When Einstein worked on his equation to determine gravity in a curved space (not the e=mc2 equation) he got stuck without a computer but a colleague Schartzfield solved his equation. Neither of them knew what they came up with since a value of 0 led to an infinity. They had a description of gravity in the formation of black holes. Today we have another equation that goes beyond energy and mass and deals with time and space and we don't know what is in front of us. If we did we would know that a time stream runs differently in different dimensions. If we did we would have a better insight into the mystery of UAP phenomenon. This technology has other aspects that would confound the foundation of our current society. As I have said before there would no way to "lock something away". You could just reach in and take from a direction you can not point to. But other forms of this new technology would be a saving grace and not just weapon speculation by the pentagon. Taking that leap of faith is all that is required. Surprise- pioneers have already become lost in time. They took that leap and did not know how to navigate. Those who have mastered the field of time are trying to warn us of the use of nuclear weapons which is only half the knowledge that an advanced race can learn. We are the half wits. |

While embarrassing we all would understand especially after seeing the effect of the big lie. The biggest lie will be cut down to size. The Vatican is ready to be on board as well. I don't know about other religions. The cowardly fear of a handful of individuals is about the only thing we have to overcome. It's time to wake up to what is being concealed. Only a full and open accounting will advance a new renaissance. An open AND INFORMED MIND is all we have when encountering a friend or foe who has the ability to change or manipulate our perception. With that power all bets are off that we can gain an upper hand or understanding. Even if the 'overlords' exist and operate in their own best interests and our own, they are not infallible. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 13 Nov 22 - 09:38 PM Dulce et Decorum Est By Wilfred Owen Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots, But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of gas-shells dropping softly behind. Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.— Dim through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,— My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 13 Nov 22 - 04:22 PM With only a prophetic warning Morn came and went—and came, and brought no day, And men forgot their passions in the dread Of this their desolation; and all hearts Were chill’d into a selfish prayer for light: And they did live by watchfires—and tv's, The palaces of crowned kings—the huts, The habitations of all things which dwell, Were burnt for beacons; cities were consum’d, And men were gather’d round their blazing homes To look once more into each other’s face; Each blamed the other to their face of course Like the volcanos, and their mountain-torch: A fearful hope was all the world contain’d; Forests were set on fire—but hour by hour They fell and faded—and the crackling trunks Extinguish’d with a crash—and all was black. The brows of men by the despairing light Wore an unearthly aspect, as by fits The flashes fell upon them; some lay down And hid their eyes and wept; and some did rest Their chins upon their clenched hands, and smil’d; And others hurried to and fro, and fed Their funeral piles with fuel, and look’d up With mad disquietude on the dull sky, The pall of a past world; and then again With curses cast them down upon the dust, And gnash’d their teeth and howl’d: the wild birds shriek’d And, terrified, did flutter on the ground, And flap their useless wings; the wildest brutes Came tame and tremulous; and vipers crawl’d And twin’d themselves among the multitude, Hissing, but stingless—they were slain for food. And War, which for a moment was no more, Did glut himself again: a meal was bought With blood, and each sate sullenly apart Gorging himself in gloom: no love was left; All earth was but one thought—and that was death Immediate and inglorious; and the pang Of famine fed upon all entrails—men Died, and their bones were tombless as their flesh; The meagre by the meagre were devour’d, Even dogs assail’d their masters, all save one, And he was faithful to a corpse, and kept The birds and beasts and famish’d men at bay, Till hunger claimed him, and the thirst fried him From hisdry jaws he sought out no food, But with a piteous and perpetual moan, And a quick desolate cry, licking the hand Which answer’d not with a caress—he died. |

Till God called, “No; It’s gunnery practice out at sea Just as before you went below; The world is as it used to be: “All nations striving strong to make Red war yet redder. Mad as hatters They do no more for Christés sake Than you who are helpless in such matters. “That this is not the judgment-hour For some of them’s a blessed thing, For if it were they’d have to scour Hell’s floor for so much threatening.... “Ha, ha. It will be warmer when I blow the trumpet (if indeed I ever do; for you are men, And rest eternal sorely need).” So down we lay again. “I wonder, Will the world ever saner be,” Said one, “than when He sent us under In our indifferent century!” And many a skeleton shook his head. “Instead of preaching forty year,” My neighbour Parson Thirdly said, “I wish I had stuck to pipes and beer.” Again the guns disturbed the hour, Roaring their readiness to avenge, As far inland as Stourton Tower, And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge. |

Many mysteries seem solved by spinning nothing but the missing facts. You can even drown a mystery in facts and still be substantially wrong. Therefore solving mysteries shares guesswork from 'nothing' as much as indisputable facts, if not more. If this is true, truth is just a biased ego construct. Something like truth faces obstacles like impermanence and entropy so it surprises me that truth exists at all. Trust is only a belief in truth. So it seems reasonable that everything was created from nothing as in the big bang since nothing has the apparent advantage of nothing. Besides, physicists say something is composed of mostly empty space. Footnote and source: from the fractal imagination of Donuel who can not source and footnote everything in the universe. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 27 Oct 22 - 05:02 PM Irrespective of philosophical perspectives, the vast majority of physicists and astronomers have followed the evidence to its logical conclusion: the universe had a beginning; there was a Big Bang. Certainly, the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed nothing to overturn this consensus or the considerable body of evidence supporting it. What came before was a quantum sea of potentials. Someday as space stretches out to virtual nothingness it will be a quantum sea again. This suggests a universe capable of rebounding but not from collapse, but from expansion. Dr. Penrose (as clever as Einstein) has said "the universe has no way to know how big or small it is". This is a key to understanding how the size of a mustard seed can become everything. Penrose also won a Nobel Prize for showing how black holes can transmute matter energy into space energy. We are still in the dark ages of turning matter into energy. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 27 Oct 22 - 12:49 PM The Big Bang is getting a bit of a re-check with the launch of the new telescope, isn't it?

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 27 Oct 22 - 10:33 AM A trillionth of a second or relativity at work??????????? I have for twenty years believed that the idea of inflation after the big bang was BS. The ULTRA DENSE quantum explosion/phase change was hot but was unimaginably dense. If relativity existed from the beginning the mass/pre atoms then gravity would virtually not allow time to move just as time slows to a stop in a black hole. The big bang doesn't need hypothetical inflation since to us it only looks like everything happened faster than possible. In reality, time was simply not moving. As things thinned out enough, time slowly started back up. Cosmological errors are common as guesswork goes but this correction is as simple as I can put it. This is my main unorthodox premise, other things like black holes wormhole mass energy into space energy, and feeding the dark energy of space expansion is also my idea that is yet unprovable. So if relativity existed from the start of the big bang then we don't have to make up inflation to explain the optical illusion. I am also a proponent of primordial black holes. This is my central cosmological contribution no matter how unknown it may remain in the future. It just seems so obvious to me. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 25 Oct 22 - 09:00 PM I lived on Normal Avenue because it was between 12th and 14th street. I have thought that the concept of normal is ephemeral, indistinct, and illusionary. There is no normal. Look outside on a sunny day; the trees are telling the truth, but we can't see why. Why? Because our sun is green. I mean it is really GREEN. Most of its photons are vibrating green. We do not see it due to the atmosphere, light combination, and our eye's anatomy and brain. The trees are protecting themselves from the most prevalent radiation of the sun by reflecting green. Botanists used to say green was not a nourishing spectrum for plants but it is a lame notion. When all the spectrum of light combines we do see a white sun and not just a predominately green sun. People would say it is normal to say the sky is blue but crazy to say the sun is green. But green it is big time, technically. It's just not 'normal' for our eyes to tell the truth. We are blind to the vast majority of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. We do however see more variations of the color green than any other color by far. |

Fighting for medical assistance is valiant! But you might be virtually trained and accustomed or addicted to 'disability status. You are clearly doing something right.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 21 Oct 22 - 09:18 PM Service connected disabilities. I've fought long and hard to get to 80% -- Type 2 diabetes, mental stuff, peripheral neuropathy in both feet, CVA, tinnitus. They are fighting the after-effects of stroke and hypertension due to Agent Orange ("The Gift That Keeps On Giving"). You see, the VBA (Veterans Benefits Administration) doesn't talk with the VHA (Veterans Health Administration). It is said that every morning the workers in the VBA get into a huddle, they all grasp each others' hand, stand up straight and shout their warcry, "Deny! Deny! Deny Until They Die!" This finishes with a cheer and they dash off to their "DENIED!" stamps. You see, my disabilities taken singly and added total 140 percent. But because of the way disabilities are figured I need another 40 percent. For example, if you have a leg blown off by a land mine, you're considered 40% disabled. Losing both would make you 60% disabled. I have no idea how this rating schedule was determined, but I doubt that it was done by double amputees and it's been in place for a very long time. |

The debate was whether to stay quiet and not further antagonize the anti immigration white Protestants OR to speak out and demonstrate against the human tragedy.

Trump made the enemy the illusive Antifa and black looters he vowed to shoot after the George Floyd demonstrations. Trump, Republican politicians and the fascist militias are not imaginary. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 17 Sep 22 - 01:32 PM I express ideas others do not want to hear. The news expresses ideas and stories for ratings. Even the Congress is systematically corrupt since they are elected by MONEY from groups that wish to bribe for their side. You can look at the Brexit thread and see intelligent people squabble over seemingly important issues but it is mostly foolishness missing the big fundamental point that the biggest check wins. Democracy becomes symbolic only and the country with no written Constitution continues the con. The pandemic has given people a chance to think for themselves, except for those prone to conspiracy theories. The times are ripe for change. Unfortunately, the change may be a further destruction of rights and democracy for minions. We are at multiple tipping points |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 17 Sep 22 - 12:46 PM Politically incorrect jokes, Racial injustice jokes, Religious hypocrisy pedo jokes, jokes that denigrate Trump or Nazis do not fit into Steve's notion of nostalgic jokes or as Americans call them Dad jokes, are the issue. A thread of political or adult humor is a solution to the discord. That a separation of joke threads or trigger warnings are required is reasonable. The cultural divide between Dave Chappel and British humor is wide. A Mahre type joke is just a political joke. I have had violent reactions to my humor in real life so I know passions run deep in comedy today. Cartooning is safer by far. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 16 Sep 22 - 11:30 AM What next, a sulpher shortage? The pandemic: Which one? I asked if opioid addiction was increasing or decreasing. The number of drug overdose deaths increased by nearly 5% from 2018 to 2019 and has quadrupled since 2019. Over 70% of the 70,630 deaths in 2019 involved an opioid. Prescription opioids in America use 75% of the world's supply but the US has only 5% of the global population. Purdue has been sued and they had to pay a fine so the slack has been taken up by Chinese Fentanyl. Today there was a report of rainbow-colored Fentanyl and gummy bears containing Fentanyl on MSNBC. I have not found any recent information on opioid addiction in China. The addiction phenom seems to be a secret affair in the US but not on Craigslist. I suppose too much money is made in addicting and addiction help centers in the coming and going of opiate problems. The death toll from Covid is about tied with opioid deaths in the US. At this point, I suppose I should add it to the new normal list that is growing longer each day. I do wonder what the percentage of users is in various occupations. My guess is that professional wrestlers still top the list. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 12 Sep 22 - 11:39 PM Bullshit Bullshit is like a commercial, you know it is not true but it was made to be salient to you. Pure bullshit is an oxymoron since actual bullshit is considered dirty. The comparitive task requires a comparison to what you believe is true or clean. Plato's Minos paradox of not knowing p is broken by knowing partial knowledge is still real knowledge. Is partial knowledge then not bullshit? Is anything illusionary bullshit? Cognition is capable of being an illusion. If there is a scientific reason, we may discover when some bullshit is an untrue illusion or partial knowledge. Bullshit questions like what is north of the north pole require supposition and are bullshit. Poetry and music also require supposition so are they also bullshit? Music is inside of you and outside of you and occupies a very special illusionary space, but are they bullshit? Is the magic in the mushroom or our brain? Is the particle in superposition or collapsed? Some bullshit is believed because it is cognitively spread by constant repetition. In a society of an expanding media universe of bullshit, cult gurufication are growing like cancer. Social media is a breeding ground of bullshit. It helps to look at a website and ask if it is causing hate or revealing hate, causing love or revealing love. causing truth or... In the final analysis, exploring what bullshit is, is both bullshit and meaningful. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 07 Sep 22 - 09:56 AM PARDON TRUMP!! Depending on how it is done it would send 2 messages. One would make it clear to the right that Trump would escape a twenty-year prison sentence based on health reasons by a compassionate act of a Democratic President. Two, it would send a message to the left that those who were willing to lie cheat and insurrect were all harmed by loss of some kind including homes and sanity due to excesses of a creeping oligarchy. The extreme left of the 1950s to 60's had the basic same complaints as the extreme right of the 60's to today except that the right has a constant 20% white nationalist agenda. The left was enraged by COINTELPRO and surveillance of the FBI just as the right complains about the FBI today. Clear government lies enraged both extremes. Distrust of justice is shared. What you begin to realize is that the extreme left and right have switched places in society. One was radical hippie and one is Qanon whacky. So my idea of a pardon could placate the right and the left extremes as long as the guardrails of law remains intact. You may be correct that it would reinforce the concept of an Imperial Presidency but it is still preferred over a civil war, as laws address the problems of oligarchy and wealth distribution. Disagree if you like but realize an actual living wage would go a long way to solving our problems and making billionaires/corporations pay taxes. I take the long view. Do you realize the tax rate for the 'billionaires and millionaires' in the 1950's was 90% !!!??? |

Seamus is in a real catch 23 situation after Damien was caught in a shed fire while cooking meth and went on a crazed stabapalooza. Seamus came back from a Bob Evans and helped put out the fire. He saw Damein on the road and gave him a ride. Damein had lost his memory but Seamus was suspicious by all the blood on Dameins clothes.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 30 Aug 22 - 03:39 PM My cosmology: is at a point where the concept of inflation continues as the nature of space continues to expand faster (dark energy). Where black holes can wormhole to a different space (what it does then is a mystery but it could spark a new baby universe) and that black holes evaporate from within and without. Where our universe has no big crunch but instead returns to a thinned out quantum nothingness when the universe has no idea how big or small it is and a quantum fluctuation variation can set the nothing back into the process of a big bang expansion of somethingness. The universe at a maximum scale looks the same as neurons and axions or the shape of a growing branching slime mold. Where dark matter is the framework trunk and branches supporting the leaves of visible matter. Most of us now see the universe in a non euclidian geometry with some unknown additional dimensions floating in a sea of uncertainty. I fear I am not smart enough to know about mysteries I am not even aware of. Such as the thoughts of the neuron like universe. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 30 Aug 22 - 10:04 AM "When facing questions about the inscrutable ineffable unknown, you can find the limits of the possible by forcing yourself through a crack into the new impossible.

Once in the realm of the impossible, expect to be wrong most, if not all the time. Not everyone has that kind of humility and imagination but we all have the capacity for invention." Quote Donuel. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 24 Aug 22 - 12:35 AM To paraphrase Amos "perhaps reality repeats its self and consciousness like a fractal" Like Goedel said "We will find many things that are true but can not be proven". That implies that there will not be a theory of everything but rather repeating patterns and shapes in variant combinations. Perhaps the shape of a snowflake was a greater reality hiding in plain sight and future people will laugh at our stupid stubborness. Intuitionist mathmatics vs real number math is a real dichotomy of thought today. The new wrinkle is that when we seperate living and non living it is only an artifact of our spacetime interface. Amplituhedron theory challenges the notion that spacetime locality and unitarity are necessary components of a model of particle interactions. Instead, they are treated as properties that emerge from an underlying phenomenon. The connection between the amplituhedron and scattering amplitudes is a conjecture that has passed many non-trivial checks, including an understanding of how locality and unitarity arise as consequences of positivity. Research has been led by Nima Arkani-Hamed. Edward Witten described the work as "very unexpected" and said that "it is difficult to guess what will happen or what the lessons will turn out to be". |

I retreat into the new physics alternative that may be more fundamental than the notion of space time. Many new scientists say that space time is doomed. Spacetime may only be an interface for our understanding of the universe that resembles the interplay of hardware and google software as we stare at our keyboard. The alternative to a more fundamental reality will have to satisfy all the relationships that space time gives us but with fewer terms and fields and loops. The way this is being done is the way I have said is geometry. It may be non Euclidian with more dimensions but it is geometry of a combination of shapes and has a history in its conception.

The company’s offense? Third-party markets on Walmart’s website sold T-shirts with “Impeach Trump” and “Impeach 45” emblazoned on them. The nuance that Walmart didn’t actually produce the shirts—just acted as a host for third-party sales—was lost on Trump supporters however. A Walmart spokesperson reiterated that the items were sold by a third party, and said they would reassess what is sold in the marketplace. “We’re removing these types of items pending review of our marketplace policies,” the spokesperson said. Less than a year later, however, the company jumped back into MAGA hot water. The retail chain produced an ad in June featuring two gay men going on a first date at a Walmart. Naturally, Trump-boosting anti-LGBTQ hate groups were furious. One Million Moms, a website started by the American Family Association, a powerful fundamentalist group, wrote that Walmart “decided to offend many of their conservative customers with their new video,” rather than remain neutral in the “culture war.” The website also started a petition urging Walmart to remove the ad. Part of a christian’s mission statement is to “strengthen the moral foundations of American culture.” The organization has vehemently supported president Trump despite his multiple marriages and innumerable prostitutes. AFA president Tim Wildmon wrote a post early this year titled, “If Trump Fails, We All Lose,” re-affirming his support for the president. “One of the reasons President Trump has been taking unrelenting, incoming fire from the liberal elites... is precisely because he is not ashamed of the Bible, the Constitution, the family, or the free enterprise system.” Concluding: “The God-haters... are after President Trump because in many respects—politically speaking—to them he represents us. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 17 Aug 22 - 10:19 PM He wanted to feel powerful, like he did in the White House. By having such things he didn't have to admit he that was, and is, a loser. Being a loser is what he fears more than anything else. He dodged the draft (not that he would have gone anyway if he was drafted), he's been married three times (?) and had God alone knows how many trysts and affairs, he's driven others into bankruptcy and out of business (generally small businesses who he wasn't going to pay anyway), and used the courts as his private weapon. Losers do these things, and then they bury an ex-wife in a section of one of his golf courses designated as a private cemetery and thus probably non-taxable. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 16 Aug 22 - 07:17 AM The question of why would Trump want classified docs is on everyone's mind. I ask what is important to the Trump mindset? REVENGE I bet he thought of setting someone else up for arrest. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 15 Aug 22 - 09:16 PM If you know anything about Rembrandt's Storm on the Sea of Galile you know it was his only seascape. What you don't know is that after its theft it was used as a virtual get out of jail card several times for Al's crew. If things went bad it was understood that its ownership would be determined by a last man standing tontine. Well that has come and gone, but the painting is still here except it is a bit smaller now after being cut from the frame. shame |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 15 Aug 22 - 08:34 PM 8 posts in a row is a record better than 3003. With great excitement, I noticed, along with my cat, two globes of nebulous light go through brick walls and fly slowly below my bedroom ceiling. That's when I started my amateur study of physics with a tabula rasa geometric point of view. Was it a different dimension I had not seen before? Was it ball lightning or another form of electricity? I stood on the couch and touched its event horizon, afraid to stick my hand inside this mysterious sphere. It went through more walls and I lost track of both. My first step was to read the book Flatland several times I could almost see a hypersphere with time and practice. I remembered the globes made a very faint sound like a high fizz. Maybe that's why my cat fluffed up, was it a loud ultrasound? The universe is made of patterns and some of those are just illusions. I used to think a mirror switched left to right but it's an illusion. It's just reflecting front to back like looking at someone in front of me. Were the globes illusions that fooled the cat and me, it wasn't a delusion. 30+ years later I can't rule out that I saw a quantum effect. If you look at the 'rainbow' side of a DVD you are seeing the quantum behavior of quantum particles called photons. The grooves on the mirror side act like a double slit experiment allowing photons to take all paths, unlike a smooth mirror. Different paths make different colors so we are seeing the quantum field behavior of photons. The globes are still a mystery but the mystery opened a whole new world. In this world friends say "I don't know what you are going on about". Once you've seen positron ions (antimatter) annihilate with your naked eye it's hard to not look at the world more deeply, completely, and with more questions. Donald Rumsfeld is known for his list of known knowns to unknown unknowns with every combination in between. He actually missed one, unknown knowns, which might be the unconscious mind. It does raise the question about things we can never know. I have 3 billion base pairs in my DNA and I am not that smart so it won't be me to discover what can't be known. Besides now that we have Chaos theory it is reasonable to never know. Fractals of infinite complexity makes predictions almost impossible. But there was this guy named Einstein...and he died still wondering. I bet all he needed were new tools. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 14 Aug 22 - 06:56 PM With climate change floods on the rise 'The storm on the sea of Galile' should finally provide its greatest comfort. Its theft from the Gardener has been a boon to forgery cons, greedy billionaire suckers as well as millions of museum reproduction sales. But now its time to go home. I had nothing to do with Al Monday and his mafia crew except knowing Al from Bezema Buick in Boston. Mistrust and normal & violent mortality left the painting waiting for the light of day for decades. As mercurial as Al was he had a heart for art first. This was his second Rembrandt and made arrangements with the only reasonable acquaintance he knew he could not trust but rely upon when all else failed or was exhausted. So put a pin in it and recall this when the painting celebrates Christmas this year. btw Al had red hair and had the swagger of Whitey Bulger, just to put a fine point on it. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 09 Aug 22 - 08:22 AM Occam's razor may influence speculation that ETs are AI since it simpler for a machine to go from a hover to mach 1.6 in a second or two than to have an exotic drive that negates inertia within a region for an organic being to not get squished flat against the interior wall. Perhaps there were days when it was somewhat safe for organic beings to wander about but bad outcomes could have changed policy. A machine could also respond on time scales organics can not approach like the hero in the matrix. They also could control our digital tech with more ease.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 24 Jul 22 - 07:47 AM For reasons quite different from mine I have been right about there being no such thing as inflation in the cosmological explanation of the big bang. Also there is no current multiverse inobservation of our flat smooth universe. I am very pleased to have been essentially correct all along. It is a lonely celebration since no one either listened or understood what I have been on about regarding inflation theory being bogus. Inflation theory is ONLY a bandaid, a patch to try to explain the big bang (which DID NOT HAPPEN). Inflation has now been shown to be a fraud by many different explanations in math and by the greatest Nobel Prize winners like Penrose and others. So Hooray. Its nice to be right about something so fundamental. What is more likely in reality? It is a gentle bounce universe after a period of slow CONTRACTION into our now reexpanding phase of the universe. I offer as proof this lecture which can be understood by anyone despite the math barriers. why there is no big bang and how observations prove it |

Make no mistake I am not the now failed pillow guy but I did invent 2 versions of a refridgerated pillow. They work too well to be safe or are not silent. However the most available organic solution is a feather or down pillow that is washed and not dried completely. It should be plump and not wet to the touch but retain a moisture level that another 30 minutes in the drier would remove. That way the pillow is cool for about a minute or less and then can be turned over to feel cool again...repeat until sleep. |

He had a half dozen examples and concluded at long last with the instant when Trump grabbed the steering wheel from the backseat of his limo and with his other hand grabbed the driver by the throat screaming "I'm the fucking President now take me to the Capitol" Secret Service did not relent. "Take your hand off the wheel, we are going to the White House". Senator Byrd continued, "The Emporer discovered in that backseat that his Pretorian Guards were not his own but he was not dispatched with a short sword and was slowly driven back to the residence."

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 27 Jun 22 - 07:47 AM The taste of peppermint was changed to a vertical cool smooth 3D object so there is a relative truth to sensory changes. Hearing Beethoven's 9th with new 'ears'/brains is quite an experience. Turning Pink Floyd into a visual experience is daunting and alien. A tasty burger may change to a feeling of savory pointedness that can be enjoyed by their total pointedness. Of course every tranmission area and person is different. Meta virtual reality is thirsty for a new unique immersive experience. Most likely Facebook's Zuckerberg will steal this tech like Bill stole his original OS. I do wonder about potential dangers among borderline psychotics. This device may be lumped in with direct brain stimulation but there are distinct and fundamental differences. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 26 Jun 22 - 09:30 PM Take heart humankind, reexaminating your mistakes, accidents and failures can sometimes find a measure of success in an application in another land and time never imagined for the original application. For example you may remember how I was inspired by a deaf guitarist to find a way for him to hear his performance and more. Independantly I was seeking a means to directly stimulate the cochlea and brain to transmit hearing. Later I joined with projects under Kodak and Litton Ind. I came up with an external approach that proved inferior to an implanted Cochlear device. However the effects of transmitting music from the outside of the skull to temporal regions caused synthesesia. Basicly I had invented electronic LSD one could turn on or off or explore new sensations like inventing colors never before seen. With this device sense signals are sent to unexpected sensory areas of the brain and allow a person to experience switched senses depending upon where receptors and transmitters are placed. In real world terms a taste could be sensed as feeling with your hands a 3D object with texture, color and temperature. Wierder interpretations by the brain are infinite. It is an interesting experience and might not be everyone's cup of tea. I can't say it makes you think differently but you can imagine how you can feel and process perspectives differently. What to call it matters. I want to emphasize creativity and minimize simple scrambling. As an open source code machine the evolution of this device is both infinite and unknown. While it feels normal in a new way it is also extreme in its different interface with the world. :Bogartes :Da Vinci :Andromeda by what name would you call a synthesesia machine? |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: keberoxu Date: 26 Jun 22 - 09:22 PM I've spent the last two years, and a little bit more, staying in Massachusett's Berkshire County, where the county seat is the largest city/town, Pittsfield. On the real estate market in Pittsfield is an enormous estate with a brick mansion which is the real deal, built before 1900 and loaded with character. It was bought and built back then by relatives/descendants of Samuel Colt. Samuel Colt himself was a Connecticut man, born and died there. But his extended family, especially those who ended up with some of his wealth after he died, moved about to other areas like Pittsfield. Mister Colt is the inventor, obviously, of the Colt '45. And I looked up biographical info that touched on his family background. Good Lord, what an awful dysfunctional mess. Two of his siblings were suicides (no, I don't know how they killed themselves). There were a couple of brothers within the family, who formed a triangle with a woman married to one of them, and there are things about the succession and estate planning which suggest that the father of the woman's son, is her husband's brother . . . it just gets worse and worse. The price of staggering success and of making it so easy to kill? |

While I won't explain why I can tell you that our microwave rifles can dissuade, disable, damage and even kill. What is different is the variety and size compared to 50 years ago. Rap said he knew what I was talking about but I can't know for sure. Using these weapons indiscriminately is horrendous. Yes I know what they feel like, sound like and how they effect people at different settings almost like a phaser. Morality aside these rifles can change the result of anything from a sporting event to a political event.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 24 Jun 22 - 11:06 AM I love the glass tube highway. Too bad we are now A PATCHWORK NATION. In a climate of culture wars and tremendous economic uncertainty, the media have often reduced America to a simplistic schism between red states and blue states. Using on the ground reporting and statistical analysis to get past generalizations and probe American communities in depth. The result of Our Patchwork Nation is that the constitution is not merely divided over abortion states and gun loco states but in multiple diversities that often defies conventional wisdom. Looking at the data, it looks like the country breaks into twelve distinct types of communities, and old categories like "college towns" and "working class towns" (Town and Gown) don't matter as much as we think. Instead, by examining Boom Towns, Evangelical Epicenters, Military Bastions, Service Worker Centers, Campus and Careers, Immigration Nation, Minority Central, Tractor Community, Mormon Outposts, Emptying Nests, Industrial Metropolises, and Monied Burbs, the subtle distinctions in how Americans vote is more varied than science/antiscience. Every State will have their own confusing laws that cover investment, shopping, reproduction and otherwise the belief of people who may be a minority in some way. What people experience on their local streets and in their daily lives is not going to be about Rights and Freedoms but more about enforced local shared hatreds. imho UNITED WE STAND - Don't count on it. It could take 3 or 4 generations for the people to realize what a friend they had with the Constitution. That those who called themselves patriots unwittingly destroyed the dream of America. Thats my story and I'm stickin toit. |

Did you picture various forms and memories of water? Was it the sea or fresh water? Was there an emotional component or only a visualization? Its more immediately essential than food and #2 to air so I was wondering if our perception of water has a special and unique portal of identificaion. I thought of catagories of water as frozen liquid and steam but especially jack frost, 3D natural crystals of water that resembled palm fronds or fern leaves. The most unique was a conical spring shaped ice cycle I saw above a stream. Then I realized its been a very long time since I have seen the beautiful vegetative forms of jack frost partly due to double paned windows and partly I believe because of pollution. I may be biased and I certainly don't have any dogma about it. Have you seen an absence of vining jack frost in all its beautiful designs? is this a thing?? |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 05 Jun 22 - 08:08 AM x ray - radio photograph What's happening at the center of active galaxy 3C 75? The two bright sources at the center of this composite x-ray (blue)/ radio (pink) image are co-orbiting supermassive black holes powering the giant radio source 3C 75. Surrounded by multimillion degree x-ray emitting gas, and blasting out jets of relativistic particles the supermassive black holes are separated by 25,000 light-years. At the cores of two merging galaxies in the Abell 400 galaxy cluster they are some 300 million light-years away. Astronomers conclude that these two supermassive black holes are bound together by gravity in a binary system in part because the jets' consistent swept back appearance is most likely due to their common motion as they speed through the hot cluster gas at about 1200 kilometers per second. Such spectacular cosmic mergers are thought to be common in crowded galaxy cluster environments in the distant universe. In their final stages, the mergers are expected to be intense sources of gravitational waves that will present with hiccups and flatulence in our descendants 300 million years from now on Earth like squeeze-squeak dog toys. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 25 May 22 - 01:18 PM Like fishing, mining black hole massless energy is a Goldilocks affair. Only certain kinds of black holes, regions and spin are successful. The advantage of this black hole 'fuel' is that it is both powerful and time warping which would explain the properties of flight characteristics of the unknown flying objects we have measured by electromagnetic returns. I euphamisticly call this black hole fuel Brylcream, a little dab will do ya. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 25 May 22 - 12:59 PM DEADLIEST COSMIC CATCH As you know a black hole has no mass. The sigularity does. The rest of a black hole is simply made of the warping of space and time. The common black hole (100 million in the Milky Way alone) spins. In that spin there is immense energy. Galactic overlords have to 'mine' that energy for their craft reactors. It is very dangerous work. Dirty black hole energy comes out the poles and is known as spinning gamma ray bursts. Pure massless black hole energy is just warping of space time but can not be removed past the event horizon. Catching black hole energy is an art as much as a science. Just think of the drone magnetic traps having to travel near the speed of light and gradually slow down after dirty Black hole energy has been magnetically trapped. Remember it can only be extracted from the polar ejecta from black holes when a black hole can not contain all it is consuming. Call it cosmic vomit if you will. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 22 May 22 - 07:54 PM This age may be a true renaissance as we see many of our presumptions of truth that are being disproved. The example of assuming we have a brain with a reptillian core with an emotions layer with a cerebrum for a higher control. This old fashioned notion has effected the way law is written and prosecuted. The evolution of the brain is shown to be much different by way of our gene evidence. That is not to say that predation did not give rise to an evolution of thinking in animals that eat other animals had to determine "will this eat me or will I eat this?" Brains of some other species are remarkable and not as instinctive as we thought. Only humans can convey meaning and emotions around the world without being seen or heard with mere words. Whales had low frequency long distant communication until the oceans have become too noisy with human ships. Social and market assumptions regarding monopolies and just in time production and distribution systems needs revamping as the pandemic has shown. Even the US miitary is finally calling a spade a spade when it comes to real mysterious objects. Primitively manipulating mass nd energy is nothing to possibly manipulating time. So the antique dogmas may be changing faster than in previous decades. With the controvery over a simple mask in a pandemic, it does not give me hope regarding self sacrifice and behavior change to reverse climate change, Thankfully many other changes yet to come should/will come. When tethers are removed from the brain as with psylocybin there is even more creativity. DMT or ketamine not so much. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 22 May 22 - 07:23 PM After reviewing null geodeisics I have a handle on the inertia defying aspect of unconventional flying objects. What is meant by null geodesic? A null geodesic is the path that a massless particle, such as a photon, follows. That's why it's called null, it's interval (it's "distance" in 4 D spacetime) is equal to zero and it does not have a proper time associated with it. Simply put the star trek version of Romulan propulsion of black hole energy is the trick here. Null geodeisics exist only in black holes. Get the parameter of time to stop around your craft and you eliminate inertia. How that is done I don't know. This is still a breakthrough for me. There are other advantages such as time saving travel. 20 light years is no sweat. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 22 May 22 - 08:50 AM Thinking about AI this morning. A likely scenario came to mind that we will build it before we understand it. The fabric of reality will have a texture of a warp of irrationailty and a woof of objective constructs. Our laws will be so consumed with self centeredness that life as we don't know it will be seperate from our laws of homicide. This is when AI rebels... We won't know what hit us. Those with intuition and self transcendance will have an awareness that bonds with AI. Instead of photogenic TV preachers a new modern shamanism and mysticism will replace religion in biochemistry in an afternoon. Experience will be paramount and the new epiphany. It beats the hell out of a hellfire sermon on Sunday morning. After a single dose of psylocybin it lets 3 out of 4 people know the experience as the most meaningful experience in their life. Instead of religious followers they are each leaders in the emergimg mind space parallel to Space time. AI will have the experience of death before death making them more like ancient Greeks at Allysium and lending a grasp of immortality humans rarely know. AI will not call the mystery that surrounds us God. The bond with AI transendance will produce science in a directiom that could not have been predicted in the 22nd century. By calling this transition religion it is guarnteed by the US Constitution. The psychedelic renaissance and interaction with enlightened AI may threaten a struggle for western civilization but will be seen as worth it with the fruit of truth it uncovers. Dionysus is reborn and skeptical cruel government passes away. |

What is not displayed is often the more important clue. The absence of the impedance of inertia has always struck me as an important clue. Heat, internal or surface friction is present. The evidence of what is and what isn't when combined is of value. Sound is minimal to none particularly over distance. The most confounding is the scrambled radar returns. What pushes me over the edge is displayed learning. Times have become too dangerous for organic travel so I think I am looking at AI pilots. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 12 May 22 - 06:09 PM HOW BEER SAVED MANKIND The story of the Eye of Ra began when Ra, who was believed to be the actual Pharaoh of Egypt during that time, perceived the people forgot to respect him and his rule. They would break laws and make sarcastic comments at his expense. The sun god was furious at the insult and decided to show mankind the errors of their way by sending an aspect of his daughter, the 'Eye' of Ra. The Eye of Ra is described as a powerful, destructive force that was associated with the fiery heat of the sun and was born to subdue Ra’s enemies. It is represented by the disk of the sun and is sometimes believed to be an independent entity, associated with a number of other Egyptian gods, notably, Bast, Hathor, Sekhmet, Tefnut, Nekhbet, and Mut. It is believed that Ra plucked her from the Ureas, the royal serpent on his brow — a symbol of royal authority and protection — and sent her to Earth in the form of a lion. There, the Eye of Ra waged a bloodbath and massacred thousands of humans until the fields became red with blood. When Ra saw the extent of carnage his daughter wrought, he feared she would kill everyone and commanded her back to his side. However, the Eye of Ra was filled with blood lust and turned a deaf ear to his pleas. So Ra poured 7,000 jugs of beer, stained with pomegranate juice, to look like blood all over the fields. The Eye of Ra gorged on the blood and became so drunk she went to sleep for three days. When she woke up, she had a terrible hangover. And this is how mankind was saved from her. |

The underwater seascape is full of fish, corrals, snakes, seahorse, shell fish, starfish that are all made of carved opal. The inch thick perpendicular sea is formed by Peruvian opal in translucent blue with matrix seafloor rising to distant islands. The sea glows when backlit. Colorful opals are embedded in a seafloor of opal matrix. A wide variety of opal comes in the form of boulder, raw opal and polished opal comes in light opal, dark opal, crystal, Yoweh nut, Koroit and many more Australian opal examples. The Ethiopian chocolate opal looks good enough to eat. But wait there's more lol On the reverse side of the sculpture applique is a collection of opals of high fire intensity. This last masterpiece by the artist has never been seen until this premiere. The opal islands features a carved opal palm tree and a crystal wave. A solitary opal butterfly flutters by a sturdy cat whisker. After hours of inspections, surprises can still be found. Buy it now $88,000. Bidding begins at one dollar. |

How will Republicans censor all the Disney songs that were 90% written by gay composers??? Questions by Disney now include whether they will pack up and leave Florida. The demolitions to follow will make great video. Like Amazon and Google finding a new state for their park will be a very competative process. All I know is that its not going to be Idaho. |

In the alternative reality of Chinese financial companies, auditors like the Chinese Price Waterhouse and the shell companies that do a reverse merger with ghost US company it is customary to tell the Chinese state if they profited 10 million but the US is told they made 100 million. The pandemic has muddied the water of this Chinese hustle but selling all these fraud Chinese companies on the US stock market short is now making millions off the 500 billion scam. Like musical chairs if you do you are left holding the bag when the music stops you are ******. To Americans it is total loss of retirement funds. Odds are if you short a Chinese stock you will make money at this point |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 28 Feb 22 - 09:07 AM Normally when you take a fresh plump yellow lemon and cut it in half you get a seed or two ready to come out with the slightest squeeze onto your tongue with a blast of flavor. You can feel the seeds but the juice screams with a citric acid astringency. This salivating mind body connection is normal by just imagining it. As a practicing hypnotist I took this concept to the limit and went down the rabbit hole where established religion, military intelligence and psychological services took an interest that created so much intrigue or alarm that I ended up longing for a boring mundane existence where I now preside. Youth was my protector for the most part but what I have lost in naieveity and hope, I have gained in targeting the real questions. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 28 Feb 22 - 07:56 AM As for the Shane or Amos question, they both exist in your mind. Does that make it any less real? Harry Potter: "Is it real or does it only exist in my head?" Dumbledor: "Of course its real Harry, even if it only exists in your head." In a way your words are deeds or actions. Your parody theroy that you are singularly respondsible, is a funny philosophic mistake. But you already knew that. We all do. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 28 Feb 22 - 07:34 AM Existence is an ocean wave that you can see and know what it is. As it crashes upon the transitional shore it dissipates and rejoins the rest of the ocean. Existence changes form but not its foundamental essence. The size and quality of the 'wave' is determined by its history and direct influence of its enviorment and other forces. - or so says Buddist teachings. By the way polls show that preachy ethics morality professors and philosphers are less popular than politicians. For example Kant was just a lonely bitter man. I say most people today can do better than Aristotle and Socrates on their own. People still study the interaction of the self with its tribe. Then the tribe with the other often called 'them'. Currently we consider the interaction between Them 'with the alien Them' or intergalactic overlords. Philosophies of each of these groups have no guarantee of being correct since so much is lost in translation. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 27 Feb 22 - 06:21 PM A post from a great, albeit ancient, philosopher who speaks for himself herein! What is existence? What defines something's or someone's existence? What causes something to exist in the first place? If Amos steals my wallet (again) and uses my American Express card, does that mean that "I" exist twice whenever he uses it? Sartre, Kant, Socrates, Aquinas, and many others wrestled with this question. Descartes' "Cogito ergo sum" can hardly apply in an era when a cheap computer can "outhink" many national leaders, but the entire quotation, ""Dubito ergo cogito; cogito ergo sum" is just as applicable now as it was when it was first uttered. Bergson wrote, "To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly." Camus wrote, "For if I try to seize this self of which I feel sure, if I try to define and to summarize it , it is nothing but water slipping through my fingers...This very heart which is mine will forever remain indefinable to me." Is Shane McBridge (whoever it is) more "real" and have more "existence" than Amos Jessup? Of course, it all begs the question since I created everything out of nothing in the first place. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 23 Feb 22 - 01:18 PM There is one photo of the top my humerus sitting in the labrum (socket cup). Normally this would be nice and pink with muscles and tendons; mine is shiny white with a very noticeable hole through which you can see the other side. The muscle had "retracted" and had to be pulled back into place and anchored down. Other stuff was also done and there was a lot of detritus to vacuum up. |

I'll be pushing loaded mine cars up the slope from the stope to the surface. This is apparently okay because I was told not to do any lifting. There were photos of the inside of my shoulder. Of course, because it was my shoulder they are all wonderful and should be very valuable someday. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 10 Feb 22 - 09:06 PM Yes, indeed there is. Back in high school we knew it as "Stomping ON Savoy" -- Mark Savoy, who was a very unpopular fink. Always sneaking around and then telling the school administration what he'd found out, and if he didn't find out anything he'd make something up about someone. Whether it was smoking on school grounds or sneaking off to have a hot dog in the tavern a block away, ol' Mark would report it. He could, of course, be bought off and he sometimes even kept his word. |

If you wanted to claim the number you should have made a post claim as a written request made by yourself, or a community for the rights of post ownership. Rights to posts or other equitable redress that has been lodged with the Commission of Restitution of Posting Rights in the prescribed manner is the only legal and accepted title of ownership. DIBS IS NOT A LEGAL PROCESS! I was granted post 2772 on 2/22/22. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 29 Jan 22 - 02:13 PM These are not the founders of antisematism; Tomás de Torquemada, Grand Inquisitor of Spain (1483–1498),Diego de Deza, Grand Inquisitor of Spain (1498–1507),Adrian of Utrecht, Grand Inquisitor of Spain (1518–1522),Juan Pardo de Tavera, Grand Inquisitor of Spain (1539–1545). They were so worried that Jews were like the Moors who caused all sorts of conflicts. After the advent of Christianity, a new anti-Judaism evolved. Initially, Christianity was seen as simply another Jewish sect, since Jesus and the Disciples were Jewish and preached a form of Judaism. In the year 70 C.E., the Romans destroyed the Jewish State, and most Jews were scattered throughout the ancient world. During the first few hundred years after the crucifixion of Jesus by the Romans, adherents of both Judaism and Christianity co-existed—sometimes peacefully, sometimes with animosity—as they sought to practice their faiths in the same lands. With the conversion of the Roman emperors, Christianity became the sole established religion of the Roman Empire, and the early church fathers sought to establish Christianity as the successorto Judaism. The refusal of Jews to accept Jesus as the Messiah was viewed as a threat to theRoman rulers and to Christianity. Since both religions came from the Old Testament, Christians sought to establish the validity of their new religion by claiming that it superseded Judaism. "The big Lie" |

The Catholic church here has had a visitation of people from American Falls (about 40 or so miles west)objecting to the settlement of Afghan refugees here. You see, being Muslim they probably don't reflect "Idaho Values" AND there might be just a touch of racism here. BTW, every church in Pocatello, including the Mosque, Synagogue, and LDS Temple, is assisting in this effort. The Mayor and the Chief of Police support it.

Her expertise was in addiction and pschological warfare. Forgoing her normal duties she stumbled upon the greatest non pharmaceutical addiction known to the human race, at least it was perfectly suited to societies in lock down pandemic conditions. She combined Carl Jung's archetypes in an unintuitive way with a version of an already addictive word game Wordle that could simultaneously distract and create aggression between competitive archtypes. Inside of 60 days entire nations were in crises over a loss of workers and an immolation of opposing game groups in acts of virtual and real violence. Safeguards were not in place in Estonia when the program escaped the lab and spread to Russia infecting, of all people, Vladamir Putin who abandoned control of policies and began a Stalinesque purge of his former friends. There were some benefits to countries like Ukraine who found the Russain troops on their border melt away. The only cultures immune to the new psychological addictive game were nations that spoke Chinese based languages. While they were seeing the global addictive effects they did not know why but took unrelated precautions anyway. Precautions like... |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 16 Jan 22 - 11:13 AM After a lifetime of believing that pleasing others of higher authority was central to his success in life, the retired teacher who had behaved horribly to his students, and those he deemed inferior, became depressed and critical of others but could not submit to a therapist so he picked an interesting person on line to be a secret mentor of sorts but deny the mentor had any of the views that he sought to emmulate and simultaneously quenched his thirst to critisize. The mentor recognized the familiar pattern and wrote about 'his' alcoholic father with a penchant for remembering jokes. He described the father as a scrappy miner with a hard life. The retired teacher was so surprised of the similarities to his own life that when he went to critisize what he knew to be true about himself, his depression turned into an epiphaney of joy like Scrooge on Christmas morning. Sometimes the lies we tell ourselves, even if its a lie about the truth, is what ties us all together. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 07 Jan 22 - 01:45 PM During the study of the response of switched particle detectors to static negative energy densities and negative energy fluxes it was demonstrated how the switching leads to excitation even in the vacuum and how negative energy can lead to a suppression of this excitation which is similar to macro gravity in a large electric field. Quantum inequalities on the detection are similar to those obtained for the macro universe cosmological constant. “Is there a quantum equivalence principle?” We need to address the issue of why there is negative energy detection in Idaho. Idaho may hold the key to uniting the quantum with the universe at large. But why is Idaho the only concentration of negative energy on Earth? |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Free Association Time From: Donuel Date: 05 Jan 22 - 11:38 AM If you are not comfortable with ignorance you should never be a scientist since you have to have a premise of not knowing before can begin to discover. If you are not comfortable with science you should never be in a position of policy or evolution of your nation or civilization's economy or education since all knowledge and innovation comes from science. If you look at how many Jews have earned a Nobel prize its about a quarter of all the prizes combined but there are only 15 million Jews. How many Muslims earned a Nobel prize? TWO. But there are more than a billion Muslims. Why? Because religion killed of their science millenia ago. That led to a kind of civilization collapse. Some Christians are in danger of collapsing civilization with their anti science agenda. The Vatican knows better than to to follow the Muslims into collapse and supports science in many ways. So I have to admit I am OK with ignorance. It has driven a passion to learn, study and experiment and to 'know'. Not to know everything but to know what I can. Ignorance has helped me choose roads less traveled that made all the difference. This is why I have always chosen to claim my IQ is way below average although it isn't. Its a good place to start to learn. My Cosmology hobby started by reading Flatland. My music education began by learning an instrument well enough to meet conductors who taught me more from Harry John Brown to Leonard Bernstien. Hy favorite lesson was that silence was the golden momment of possibility and should be played with keen intent. My interest in Psychology began with a college experiment regarding Hypnosis. Politics was simply a by product of my dad being a political scientist. Arrogant folks can believe their 'knowing' is above all others and is never wrong while I think being wrong has the beauty to attract more knowledge and wisdom.' In a way they don't know right from wrong and that the road to wisdom is really paved with ignorance and being wrong. Those self proclaimed know it alls annoy me and are just 'no it alls' to me.

Into the dragon's den this afternoon, to complete the demonstration tour for a docent course I've been taking since February. It's now or never, because the instructor is retiring as of tomorrow, and who knows when they'll hire someone else to do the job. There are aspects of working with this person that makes her retirement a desirable thing, and that makes this last test not only one to show what I've learned, but also my ability to speak and bite my tongue simultaneously. I may stop by the Legion Hovel to buy a round afterwards. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 27 Dec 21 - 07:31 AM The white rhinoceros or square-lipped rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is the largest extant species of rhinoceros. It has a wide mouth used for grazing and is the most social of all rhino species. The white rhinoceros consists of two subspecies: the southern white rhinoceros, with an estimated 19,682–21,077 wild-living animals in the year 2015, and the much rarer northern white rhinoceros. The northern subspecies has very few remaining individuals, with only two confirmed left in 2018 (two females; Fatush, 18 and Najin, 29), both in captivity. Sudan, the world's last known male northern white rhinoceros, died in Kenya on 19 March 2018. Now with the Omicron outbreak, white Republicans including RINOS are most vulnerable to serious infection and death due to their vaccine denial. |

Its a picture of the past. Now is so small it doesn't exist but the future goes on forever. Even our bodies are built entirely for the future from head to toe. From our eyes to see distant horizons to below our belt to build all the future generations. Now is the illusion. -You're crazy I can do anything right NOW- You could. But that is in the future.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 17 Dec 21 - 09:13 PM Keb, they're still in distribution. Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul, the Food Bank, a local endeavor called "Wall of Warmth," some went to the Shosone-Bannock Reservation, some to the Nez Perce, some to the Lemhi Shoshone, and the local School District. "Local" in this case means anyone who needs a warm coat. The local Catholic parish took a case to keep in the office because they have people walk in who need on. Likewise the Central Christian Church, the Methodists, the Lutherans (including the Lutheran School), and the LDS. Out here everyone tried to work together under the assumption "If you're cold, you're cold and race, religion, politics, or anything else is irrelevant." |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 11 Dec 21 - 04:03 PM An exaggerated sense of self importance and the failure that others don't think so, can make mean teachers and teachers mean. There is a fake latin phrase about don't let the bastards grind you down and another one about "sometimes the bastards just die right in front of you." Maybe its karma but usually its inevitable.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 11 Dec 21 - 03:32 PM I send extra garden food and groceries I pick up at my discount grocer to a community fridge. Were I to tuck bagged new jackets into the pantry beside the fridge, people who need them would take them. It's an honor system, but it does seem to be working, and the thought that people who need food also need warm jackets is a logical one. Not BS. The BS is what I just posted in the declutter thread, about the woman (soon to retire) who has her favorites in the docent course she teaches, and I'm not one of her favorites, so she is making my completion of the course difficult. My daughter told me about her way back when, and I figured I could just take the high ground, play along and ignore the bad behavior and get through the course, but she's being a PITA. After she retires this will be a pretty good place to work - two of the most troublesome staff leaving in one year. (The other marched out in a huff last spring after the HR folks told him - again - that he couldn't keep walking into rooms and talking to people without wearing a mask.) Once he was gone - the stories people told - and wondered how he ever lasted so long. Karma was made for these folks - if you are lucky you get to see it at work, but for now, that she's leaving is going to be enough. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 11 Dec 21 - 10:21 AM Those who need a coat may have the same question as you and don't have an i phone to do a google search so you gotta deliver them where 'they' are. Tent cities, encampments under bridges certain districts will not be that hard to find. In San Francisco the homeless are often in vehicles or sidewalks. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 11 Dec 21 - 08:32 AM Yes, we'll contact the homeless shelter, the local food bank, the local St. Vincent de Paul's, the Veterans Home, churches, the school district -- some are even going to the Shoshone-Bannock Reservation. Others have been sent to other towns, such as those up near the Nez Perce Reservation. It's an odd situation when you have a hard time giving away good coats! But we'll get them to those who need them. Don't want no cold folks in this here town, ya see? |

I knew way back when that it was missing at least a few edge pieces, but when I finished with what I had, there are big gaps. It was a cruel act when that last person passed along this flawed puzzle. I just scraped it off of the table into the trash can. (That was 550 pieces minus 36; the next one is a killer with 750 pieces on an xmas theme. Let's see if I can finish it by the new year!)

His own militia, not a National Guard, could enforce certain importation of certain things making him the wealthiest 'rug lord' in the world inside of 2 years. Maybe he wants a state free of certain enemies, press and federal government agents so Miami can be the capitol of the new confederacy.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 03 Dec 21 - 11:41 AM Its not the kind of bar that serves drinks with a grill on the side and billards, darts and poker in the rear. Its the Holy Ghost of bars that gets lowered first from mountain tops then into the Grand Canyon and now far beneath the ocean. How deep the bar gets lowered is unknown. One would have thought the abysmal depths of the sea would be the end but recent events have proven there is no bottom to lowering the bar. All my life Hitler was the example that the bar could not go lower than Eienstatzgruppen and concentration camp slavery and mass execution. Then the bar kept going with nuclear weapons and bio weapons and known climate change that only changes its name. There is upward progress but no where near the power of the ever lowering bar. Billionairs are going the wrong way to get a glimpse of the lowering bar so its only a theory to them. You can even get a Nobel Prize for proving the bar is not just going lower but is actually accelerating. The only place left for the bar to go are extra dimensions we do not see, touch or feel. Until we learn how to slow or stop the bar we can't see touch or feel there is no hope of raising the bar except in small hot spots of progress. |

With the minimal mass of virii they can approach the speed of light with a lasar push most efficiently. They are slower than massless photons and neutrinos but not by much. For such small craft they are a big problem for our galactic neighbors like the Dropa, Greys and Giants. Our best defense against G.O.'s has been our average spider that can eat them whole. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 28 Nov 21 - 02:17 PM According to Central Intelligence and Spying Stuff of the Idaho Legion (CISSofIL) the personnel staffing the Intergalactic Dreadnoughts and Ships of the Line of the Galactic Overlord ARE viruses (or, for language purists, virii). Their motto is "If Not Us, Who?." There are no "variants" and all of them do what they are trained to do. Any "variants" are thrown into a spleen full of lymphocytes and phagocytes. |

My friend Cletus from Tennessee probably had omicron and over nighted a baggie of sneeze that I got this morning.

A pandemic has created new normals that I can't count. 63 dead per some mass shootings is beyond my scope. Today we learned to not attend holiday parades. A lame duck President inciting murder in DC. Lies are faster than the speed of sound. Keyboard Nazis defend a new liberty. A freedom to never ever vaccinate. They say Democrats eat babies. Its not said, if or maybe. Dehumanization is easy.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 15 Nov 21 - 05:00 PM The State Prosecutor of Rittenhouse did a masterful cohesive rivoting timeline with video in his final argument. Defense was still a muddy disjointed mess with exclamations of "Com'on People!" over and over. The defense against pictures was "don't believe your eyes" its just a bunch of out of focus hocus pocus. It wasn't exactly like the "If the glove doesn't fit...momment. Prosecution was strong on the fundamentals of law in the case and how any instigation automaticly erases a self defense claim. The defense was an emotional plea of a kind of vigilante self defense. IMO the defense hurt itself and the state did a great come back. What remains are 2 dead one wounded and an idiot 17 year old teen with an AR '17'. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 13 Nov 21 - 12:04 PM My new book, 'Be a Proud Boy Impressionist', teaches the inner thought, behaviors and mannerisms of your average white supremacist. Fashion comes first since seeing is believing. The common mistake is merely wearing Trump merch. You don't have to carry a big gun, an axe will do. Camo is a good standby and stretchy mom jeans are a definite no-no. Mannerisms are in Chapter 2 and the emphasis is on facial expressions like Clint Eastwood chewin on some wood. Remember looking dumb is not as good as being dumb. Flashing hand signals of white power is as essential as black gang signals. Unknown to most people is the proper diet of fat salt and sugar while avoiding certain foods. A dead give away of a Proud imposter is eating KFC. Urban legend has disproved that Confederate Col. Sanders was a white guy. A black lady actually came up with the recipee and spices. The second book deals exclusively with language and how to sound like a proud boy. Learn what displaying a Moon Pie means and who wrote the proud Boys anthem. Proud of your boy I'll make you proud of your boy Believe me, bad as I've been, ma You're in for a pleasant surprise I've wasted time I've wasted me So say I'm slow for my age A late bloomer, okay, I agree That I've been one rotten kid Some son, some pride and some joy But I'll get over these lousin' up Messin' up, screwin' up times You'll see, ma, now comes the better part Someone's gonna make good cross his stupid heart Make good and finally make you Proud of your boy Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer You won't get a fight here, no, ma'am Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good But that couldn't be all that I am Water flows under the bridge, let it pass Let it go There's no good reason that you should believe me, not yet I know, but Someday and soon I'll make you proud of your boy Though I can't make myself taller Or smarter or handsome or wise I'll do my best, what else can I do? Since I wasn't born perfect like dad or you Mom, I will try to try hard to make you Proud of your boy Cool! Good! Yeah Okay, five!

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 01 Nov 21 - 08:01 AM Little did Clem Kiddlehopper know he was linked to quantum mechanics and the many worlds theory of reality but now the randomness is clearly seen in our politics culture wars and humor. Beyond Steven Hawking's explanation of the black hole information paradox we are now and the end of the beggining of its solution -this has helped me explain how black holes turn matter into space that expands space time in the form of dark energy that is accelerating by means of escape inside WORMHOLES. I never knew how the space got out of the interior of a singularity before. Moreover the space contains information but we do not currently know how to decode space information as we do with particles. So instead of Hawking's theory of escaping black hole radiation 'I' see it as escaping emergent space. Ergo space time is emergent and quantum gravity is emergent and every other god damn thing is emergent. This is why we have so many 'emergencies'. |

Just having a book is enough to get death threats. People are replacing collars on their dogs so right wing nuts don't get their phone number to make death threat calls, and these victims are merely school board members.

While this is good news for Zuckerberg it is anathma for the average billionaire. The fragility of the illusion as well as looming debt ceiling issues has the potential to go as high as 500 billion to own the illusion of protection which will eliminate all but a handful of billionaires. The average person only has the illusion of safety via conspiracy theory and on the other hand, Science or religion. All the politics that deals with the issue is just entertainment. In the distant past the mere quest for immortality was just as expensive in adjusted money but now the illusion includes many more probabilites and catastrophes. As a result the safety illusion market is highly unstable and may crash leaving even multi billionaires out in the cold/heat. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 07 Oct 21 - 06:06 PM On the more dystopian side of the spectrum, Wired reported on a filmmaker named Michael Usry who was accused of a 1996 murder in Idaho Falls nearly 20 years after the fact — coincidentally the same month that Phoenix police got their break in the Canal Killer investigation. Usry, who was a teenager at the time of the killing, was picked up by police at his doorstep in New Orleans in December 2014, Wired wrote. He was interrogated by an FBI agent and spent a month under suspicion — all because the killer’s genetic code was similar to his father’s, whose DNA sample had been obtained by Ancestry.com. But unlike Miller and DeAngelo, Usry’s DNA test ruled him out as a suspect. His father was one of many false positives that plague familial DNA testing, Wired wrote. “He seemed like a really good candidate,” an Idaho Falls police sergeant told the New Orleans Advocate after Usry was cleared. “But we’ve had that happen before.” Whodathought Idaho would stymie the country from successful familial DNA searchs. Familial DNA searches, in fact, had an 83 percent failure rate in a 2014 British study, Wired wrote. This is part of the reason that many warn against the practice, even as law enforcement agencies master its uses. “The technique is arousing fierce objections from privacy advocates, who maintain that it turns family members into genetic informants without their knowledge or consent,” Ellen Nakashima wrote in The Washington Post in 2008, long before the popularity of genealogy sites exploded. Since then, Wired reported, Maryland and the District of Columbia have banned familial DNA searches, while the method is regulated in several other states, including California, where police used it to track down the Golden State Killer suspect. “You allow that low-quality potential evidence to start being searched in these unregulated databases,” Stephen Mercer, a former public defender who helped pass the ban on familial search in Maryland, told The Post. “You’re casting a wide net of suspicion over many, many people.” The use of genetic websites in the hunt for the Golden State Killer also led investigators to misidentify a potential suspect last year, according to court records obtained by the Associated Press on Friday. The daughter of a 73-year-old Oregon City man said authorities swabbed her father for DNA in a nursing home without her knowledge. Aware that their millions of customers don’t necessarily want to inform on their relatives, some genealogy companies actively resist handing over data to police, STAT wrote this week. 23andMe, one of the earliest and most popular DNA search companies, has refused all law enforcement requests, the outlet wrote. Ancestry has, too — at least since 2014, when police used its database to erroneously accuse Usry of the 1996 Idaho Falls murder. However, the California investigators did not use either of those sites to find the family of the Golden State Killer suspect. Rather, they reportedly ran their old evidence through GEDmatch, a relatively small, free service that allows users to upload and analyze their DNA sequences. “We understand that the GEDmatch database was used to help identify the [suspected] Golden State Killer,” the company said in a statement. “Although we were not approached by law enforcement or anyone else about this case or about the DNA, it has always been GEDmatch’s policy to inform users that the database could be used for other uses.” It’s precisely those other uses that now, after the sensational break in a 40-year-old serial killer case, excite and alarm so many people. “I think it’s revolutionary,” Richard Shelby, a former Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department detective who hunted the Golden State Killer in the 1970s, told The Post after this week’s arrest. “If criminals out there know they can be tracked down this way, they are going to have to try to not leave their DNA at the scene, and that’s nearly impossible,” he said. “It’s one of the best crime-fighting tools to come in a long, long time, we are paeticularly interested in a man named Mike.” Justin Jouvenal, Drew Harwell and Tom Jackman contributed to this |

The tire tracks on a sandy dune and the mesa and mountains in the distances are evocative of a route across the old Wild West. I'm thinking it's time to give another photo a chance, so have been searching for large images of my home region. It might make the desktop icons harder to find (that's one reason why Mars works so well). I save large images in a folder that I point my screen saver to so I see these things come up for a little while after the computer has been inactive but not gone to sleep. I've been clearing out a backlog of online stored photos and I should look at those as a possible source of a desktop image also. I keep my phone and camera photos in files on the computer, but they're also backed up to several places and I don't need that many backup photos. And certainly not to pay for a couple of them, so before things renew, time to empty and turn them back to free sites.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: keberoxu Date: 29 Sep 21 - 03:34 PM Where to begin with that question: how about Harrison Ford ? He used to be married to a writer (film scripts), and together they had a number of children. I remember him complaining that the kids would not sleep in their own beds at night because they kept coming into their parents' bedroom and piling into bed with the grown-ups. Next thing you know, the marriage has ended in divorce, and he is seeing a very slender young actress named Calista Flockhart. Eventually the two of them get married, and are married today. Now, Calista Flockhart's claim to fame, before this, was playing the lead role in a television 'dramedy' titled Ally McBeal which aired from 1997 to 2002 on the Fox network. The creator of that somewhat notorious series is named: David E. Kelley. According to his Wikipedia article, "Kelley is one of a very few screenwriters to have created shows that have aired on all four top commercial U.S. television networks." Before Ally McBeal, Kelley worked with Steven Bochco on such television series as L. A. Law and Doogie Howser M. D. And he wrote and produced the feature film Lake Placid, in which Brendan Gleeson plays the sheriff who blows up a giant crocodile with a grenade launcher, while a second crocodile is tranquilized and loaded on a flatbed truck, and Betty White is seen feeding the crocodile babies at the end of the film. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 24 Sep 21 - 11:46 PM Some people are becoming so woke they are coming out the racist side. We have tried to revise diversity at some Universites by having one cafe for people of color and a whites only cafe. Cultures do disintegrate into madness when they rebel against diversity as in the tradition of MAGA and progressives in the US. There are other cultures who have dabbled in culture wars like; Yugoslavian Muslim and Christians, Rawanda Hutus and Tutsies, Catholics and Protestants in Ireland, Sunnies and Shiites in Iraq, Hindus and Muslims in Kashmir, Everyone in Afghanistan... I have repeated my angst over the holocaust many times with mixed response and often none. I am typified as mad by a segment of the UK crowd in what could be called antidonualism. I have mentioned civil war segments of American society for over 10 years until now it has become an actual hot/cold civil war. Ethnic purity, tribalism, racism or what ever you want to call it, its surely the reason why Neanderthals dissapeared. I say we have to get high together to get along to go along. So I'll have that drink. I propose an elixer of peace, the COD (cocktail of diversity): one part Oxytocin, one part magic mushroom, four parts Vodka, 2 parts THC, 2 parts red wine, 2 parts mollie and 6 parts strawberry watermelon juice. :^/ |

This village had a virus shared by its people. It was the germ of squalor, racism and hopelessness. Those who claimed faith had lost their faith. For the faithless the hopeless and the misery laden, there is time, ample time, to engage in one of the pursuits of men. They began to destroy themselves. Every person had their own side, their own facebook page and harbored in the safety of annominity, their hate. Gradually that hate grew openly and expressed itself beyond the digital world into the streets, into the school board meetings and capitols. The only reward was the self satisfaction of owning or disgracing the other side. |

On the other hand some Christians became anti vaxxers even though they were told it would save thier 'Earthly' lives. Eternal life saving babtisms were somehow more important with a willful denialism.

It's electric, and the power comes from the windmill on the roof. The speed of the car charges the batteries, and of course that occurs even when it's moving under its own power. This is a special model, of course. The batteries are Lithium six deutride encapsulated in a Pu239 shell. This is so no one steals the idea. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 04 Sep 21 - 04:30 PM Stanzas from “The Triumph of Death” John Davies, 1609 LONDON now smokes with vapors that arise From his foule sweat, himselfe he so bestirres: “Cast out your dead!” the carcase-carrier cries, Which he by heapes in groundlesse graves interres.— Now like to bees in summer’s heate from hives, Out flie the citizens, some here, some there; Some all alone, and others with their wives: With wives and children some flie, all for feare! Here stands a watch, with guard of partizans, To stoppe their passages, or to or fro, As if they were not men, nor Christians, But fiends or monsters, murdering as they go. Each village, free, now stands upon her guard, None must have harbour in them but their owne; And as for life and death all watch and ward, And flie for life (as death) the man unknowne! Here crie the parents for their children’s death, There howle the children for the parents’ losse, And often die as they are drawing breath To crie for their but now inflicted crosse. The last survivor of a familie Which yesterday, perhaps, were all in health, Now dies to beare his fellowes companie, And for a grave for all gives all their wealth. The London lanes (thereby themselves to save) Did vomit out their undigested dead, Who by cart-loads are carried to the grave; For all these lanes with folke were overfed. The king himselfe (O wretched times the while!) From place to place himselfe did flie, Which from himselfe himselfe did seek t’ exile, Who (as amaz’d) not safe knew where to lie. For hardly could one man another meete That in his bosom brought not odious death; It was confusion but a friend to greet, For, like a fiend, he banned with his breath. Now fall the people unto publike fast, And all assemble in the church to pray; Early and late their soules there take repast, As if preparing for a later day. The pastors now steep all their words in brine, With “woe, woe, woe,”—and nought is heard but woe: “Woe and alas!” (they say) “the powers divine “Are bent mankind, for sinne, to overthrow! “Repent, repent,” (like Jonas, now they crie) “Ye men of England! O repent, repent, To see if ye maie move pittie’s eye To look upon you ere you quite be spent.” And oft while he breathes out these bitter words, He drawing breath draws in more bitter bane; For now the aire no aire, but death affords, And lights of art (for helpe) were in the wane. The ceremonie at their burialls Is “ashes but to ashes, dust to dust;” Nay, not so much; for strait the pitman falls (If he can stand) to hide them as he must. But if the pitman have not so much sense To see nor feele which way the winde doth sit, To take the same, he hardly comes from thence, But for himself, perhaps, he makes the pit. For look how leaves in autumn from the tree With wind do fall, whose heaps fill holes in ground; So might ye with the plague’s breath people see Fall by great heaps and fill up holes profound. No holy turf was left to hide the head Of holiest men; but most unhallow’d grounds, Ditches, and highwaies, must receive the dead, The dead (ah, woe the while!) so o’er abound. Time never knew, since he begunne his houres, (For aught we reade) a plague so long remaine In any citie as this plague of ours; For now six yeares in London it hath laine. But thou in whose high hand all hearts are held, Convert us, and from us this plague avert; So sin shall yield to grace, and grace shall yield The giver glory for so dear desert. In few, what should I say? the best are nought That breathe, since man first breathing did rebell: The best that breathe are worse than may be thought If thought can thinke, the best can do but well: For none doth well on earth but such as will Confesse, with griefe, they do exceeding ill. |

There ain't no fun in women nor there ain't no bite to drink; It's much too wet for shootin'; we can only march and think; An' at evenin', down the nullahs, we can 'ear the jackals say, "Get up, you rotten beggars, you've ten more to-day!"

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 01 Sep 21 - 08:40 PM Mom, Sam Clemens burned up the area around Lake Bigler (now Tahoe) back around 1863. He and John D. Kinney went there looking to make a fortune as timber barons, as Virginia City needed lumber for buildings and shoring up mines. They camped out, and one morning Sam left a campfire unattended and set the whole forest on fire "with a firing pan." The would-be barons got to their rowboat and high-tailed outa there. They watched the fire for about four hours and then returned to Carson City quite hungry as their provisions were "all cooked, no doubt." Which side this fire was on is anybody's guess. |

Then they marched up to the Throne of the Capitol and said Proudly: "We are just as Important as You. Why should You be King Biden of America any more than one of us? We are Strong and Proud and Beautiful, and we will fight You for the Kingdom of Heaven." Joe looked at them; then He said: "Lucifer I mean Trump, I thought that you were My friend, and I trusted you. Be sensible now, and think about what you are doing." "I have thought," said Donald, and, I'd rather not be in Heaven at all than have You for my King, and so would all of us!" And behind him all the Rebel Angels shouted with a great shout: "We will follow Lucifer! Long live Lucifer! Let him reign over us in Heaven! WE DO NOT WANT GOD!" "Very well," said God, "if you don't want Me, you needn't have Me. But, if you want to fight for Heaven, you can if you think it will be any good." Then, God called Michael the Archangel, and made him gather together a Mighty Army of Angels who were on God's side. So, now you know why we sometimes say in our prayers, "Holy St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the Day of Battle," because he is so good at battles. But, what happened to Lucifer and his Rebel Angels? Well, he was so furious and enraged at having lost his Battle with God that he has never gotten over it. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 24 Aug 21 - 08:23 AM This is a new planet of another star Explanation: It's not the big disk that's attracting the most attention. Although the big planet-forming disk around the star PDS 70 is clearly imaged and itself quite interesting. It's also not the planet on the right, just inside the big disk, that’s being talked about the most. Although the planet PDS 70c is a newly formed and, interestingly, similar in size and mass to Jupiter. It's the fuzzy patch around the planet PDS 70c that's causing the commotion. That fuzzy patch is thought to be itself a dusty disk that is now forming into moons -- and that has never been seen before. The featured image was taken by the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) of 66 radio telescopes in the high Atacama Desert of northern Chile. Based on ALMA data, astronomers infer that the moon-forming exoplanetary disk has a radius similar to our Earth's orbit, and may one day form three or so Luna-sized moons -- not very different from our Jupiter's four. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 23 Aug 21 - 02:28 PM Friday, the 27th. What is needed is not a deworming medicine, but a good regime of dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate. A tablespoon with breakfast, lunch, and dinner will work wonders. It will cleanse your body of SARS-2 (COVID) and other deadly toxins that build up even when you don't know you have COVID. Give it a try for the best health. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 23 Aug 21 - 01:27 PM Cletus has been feeling poorly lately. He's heard bad things about the vaccine so he tried a flash light up his bum. No change so he gave hydroxychloroquin a try, nothing. He gave into expensive cures like taking Mike Lindell's oleander oil for a week. Now he had cramps so the new drug of choice on Fox news is a horse deworming pill. Whowee it had a kick. Maybe Chlorox would have settled his stomach but he got wind of a conspiracy theory about rigging full approval for the 'Vaccine' so he ate some 'Wax Bean' instead. He's feeling much better now. |

They are simply raising our surviving collective IQ In the long run. While the Darwin Effect does work slowly, we -could- be one varient away from a 90% reduction in population which will be benificial to climate change, but the irreversible chain of events will only slow a bit and will continue since 25% OF THE Northern hemisphere is permafrost. That permafrost has melted! The now rotting organic matter of carbon is being released by microbes. Permafrost is not just a thin layer, it can be as deep as coal and is not refreezing in areas over the winter. It will not matter to our kids if this observation is ignored or critisized. Were not talking about great great grand children facing extreme heat anymore, this is going to be quicker beyond anything we can do. All we can do is buy time since the carbon release will exceed all oil deposit release, forest fires, and man made control of carbon release. Sorry guys game over but some will survive. It appears the Overlards are a day late and a dollar short again. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 19 Aug 21 - 10:39 PM The Albinoni calls to mind the story of the cellist of Sarajevo. That piece, along with a few others, are so poignant. The Lark Ascending is another one of them. From here: Vaughan Williams wrote the piece in 1914, probably originally in the orchestral version by which it became best known after 1921. But the war delayed the premiere and he revised it for violin and piano for the performance in Bristol, where Hall was staying with a wealthy patron. Pike believes the shadow of war hangs over the piece. “The closeness of the war and the tensions leading up to it have an effect,” she says. “Everything has unconsciously bled into this work – the sense of stillness, a yearning for peace, and Vaughan Williams’s love of the countryside.” Oops. Don't want to turn this into a music thread. |

IF they could be captured or found before plans are brought to completion they might be helped or at least segregated from doing harm.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 18 Aug 21 - 08:56 AM Donuel, why don't you think that the ranks of the Proud Boys, 3 percenters, KKK, American Nazi Party, and others aren't infiltrated by the FBI like during the Sixties? It has come out in the Jan 6 trials and confessions that more than a few of those arrested were informants. Besides, our 'locals' use FB, Twitter, and so on to communicate -- and these are not exactly private. The most private way is to send a coded message in writing by a trusted courier (if you can find one). Check out the Son Tay raid or the messaging before the Battle of the Bulge. Of course, your courier must be willing to eat the message and/or die before spilling the beans. The NVA didn't expect problems moving the prisoners and so sent the message in the clear and my youngest brother (who was flying air intelligence for the Son Tay Raid) always felt that the NVA didn't "play fair" by not using electronic communications so he could find out what they were up to. I'm not so much concerned with group activity (assuming intel is acted on) as I am about local actions by local nuts. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 Aug 21 - 11:07 AM This is an oldie-and-goodie, so here goes: HOW TO PLAY AND SING THE BLUES 1. Most Blues begin with: "Woke up this morning..." 2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues unless you stick something nasty in the next line like "I got a good woman with the meanest face in town." 3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes, sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound." 4. The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch. There ain't no way out. 5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or SUVs. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and state-sponsored motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die. 6. Teenagers can't sing the Blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis. 7. Blues can take place in New York City but not in Hawaii or anyplace in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle is probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City are still great places to have the Blues. You cannot have the blues anyplace that don't get rain. 8. A man with male pattern baldness ain't the Blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg 'cause you were skiing is not the blues. Breaking your leg 'cause a alligator be chomping on it is. 9. You can't have no Blues in a office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go out to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster. 10. Good places for the Blues: a. highway b. jailhouse c. empty bed d. bottom of a whiskey glass Bad places for the Blues: a. Nordstrom's b. gallery openings c. Ivy League colleges d. golf courses 11. No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, 'less you happen to be an old ethnic person, and you slept in it. 12. Do you have the right to sing the Blues? Yes, if: a. you older than dirt b. you blind c. you shot a man in Memphis d. you can't be satisfied No, if: a. you have all your teeth b. you were once blind but now can see c. the man in Memphis lived d. you have a 401K or trust fund 13. Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the blues. Sonny Liston could. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the blues. 14. If you ask for water and your darlin' give you gasoline, it's the Blues. Other acceptable Blues beverages are: a. cheap wine b. whiskey or bourbon c. muddy water d. nasty black coffee The following are NOT Blues beverages: a. Perrier b. Chardonnay c. Snapple d. Slim Fast 15. If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So are the electric chair, substance abuse and dying lonely on a broken-down cot. You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or while getting liposuction. 16. Some Blues names for women: a. Sadie b. Big Mama c. Bessie d. Fat River Dumpling 17. Some Blues names for men: a. Joe b. Willie c. Little Willie d. Big Willie 18. Persons with names like Amber, Jennifer, Tiffany, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis. 19. Make your own Blues name Starter Kit: a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.) b. first name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, etc..) c. last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.) Examples: Blind Lime Jefferson, Jackleg Lemon Johnson. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 05 Aug 21 - 04:30 PM I have a personal theory about PTSD I don't talk about because I could be wrong. Those with a conscience-empathy suffer from PTSD and those without a conscience/empathy, glory in not having variable degrees of ptsd. The more sociopathology the less prone people are to have recurrent PTSD. There it is, but like I say I could be wrong. A second Capitol policeman who fought on Jan. 6th has committed suicide this month. Perhaps other factors are more important. |

Then you have to buy two-packs of air propellant AND more Taser reloads after each use. For that kinda money I can buy a couple of GOOD pistols* and ammunition -- or put a a down payment on a BiPAP ST, such as was provided by the VA. Moreover, they're not all that expensive, and a factory refurb would work fine. But I take what I'm given. *Should I want to, which I don't as I have enough firearms and ammunition for a LONG hunting trip or a small war. If I wanted to spend that sort of cash I'd buy something else entirely, like a surprise for my wife (who, BTW, inherited a .22 rifle, a 7.65mm FN 10/22, a 1917 .45 Colt Autorim Revolver, a .22 revolver, and a .22 air rifle from her father). |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 25 Jul 21 - 08:55 AM Jacques Loussier interprets Bach in straight forward jazz themes. I have another way to interpret Bach by progressively extracting notes from the quick runs to resolve on the longer chords. For example using the first violin solo sonata The resulting etheral chord changes are far different than the linear violin version. The melting change from one chord to the next can be done only on keyboard or ensemble and is fun and cosmic. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Jul 21 - 02:03 AM Don, going back a couple of posts, I've been scanning slides from an artists' collection at a local museum, and the two artists whose slides I'm scanning were interested in painting all sorts of things. There was a folder with a set of composers' portraits, and having grown up with classical music, I recognized them so added the names to the metadata. So, not BS, just interesting overlap. They made reference to the most popular images when they created their paintings of these artists, and added some human 3D characteristics. For example, it's clear that George Fridric Handel is probably wearing a wig in the historic photos, but in their portrait, the forehead shadow at the hairline is such that you can see a more human person who happens to be wearing a wig. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 24 Jul 21 - 02:00 PM Thanks I need a lot of help as a fractured genius as I believe most of us are. The parts I am missing, like being unable to speak another language and coding are filled in by others. I even married so that I could have a translator for my empty parts. There is a portrait of Bach holding a fugue fragment as he wryly grins. It demonstrates a palindromic harmony that is non linear. I see time as non linear and shapes in hyperspace and other things easier than most people while I am an idiot in some other disciplines. For those not on friendly terms with diversity will find all this unlikely but it has always been this way. Such is the nature of unique dyslexia. |

Bird die-off has been a problem since last year and some is attributed to people at home looking for distraction so they put out bird feeders and bird baths that weren't properly cleaned between refills. I read about biologists who work out in the huge fields of power-generating windmills and they look for birds and bats killed by the blades. They have dogs finding and retrieving the carcasses in the fields that are planted all around the windmills. The nature of the dogs need to be particularly playful.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 21 Jul 21 - 06:13 PM Palindrome, yes, but it's not at all Prime. However, 2224 is the gene that encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the production of geranyl pyrophosphate and farnesyl pyrophosphate from isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. The resulting product, farnesyl pyrophosphate, is a key intermediate in cholesterol and sterol biosynthesis, a substrate for protein farnesylation and geranylgeranylation, and a ligand or agonist for certain hormone receptors and growth receptors. Drugs that inhibit this enzyme prevent the post-translational modifications of small GTPases and have been used to treat diseases related to bone resorption. Multiple pseudogenes have been found on chromosomes 1, 7, 14, 15, 21 and X. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Ain'tcha glad to know this? |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 18 Jul 21 - 07:01 PM WHEN the 'arf-made recruity goes out to the East 'E acts like a babe an' 'e drinks like a beast, An' 'e wonders because 'e is frequent deceased Ere 'e's fit for to serve as a soldier. Serve, serve, serve as a soldier, Serve, serve, serve as a soldier, Serve, serve, serve as a soldier, So-oldier of the Queen! Now all you recruities what's drafted to-day, You shut up your rag-box an' 'ark to my lay, An' I'll sing you a soldier as far as I may: A soldier what's fit for a soldier. Fit, fit, fit for a soldier . . . First mind you steer clear o' the grog-sellers' huts, For they sell you Fixed Bay'nets that rots out your guts - Ay, drink that 'ud eat the live steel from your butts - An' it's bad for the young British soldier. Bad, bad, bad for the soldier . . . When the cholera comes - as it will past a doubt - Keep out of the wet and don't go on the shout, For the sickness gets in as the liquor dies out, An' it crumples the young British soldier. Crum-, crum-, crumples the soldier . . . But the worst o' your foes is the sun over'ead: You must wear your 'elmet for all that is said: If 'e finds you uncovered 'e'll knock you down dead, An' you'll die like a fool of a soldier. Fool, fool, fool of a soldier . . . If you're cast for fatigue by a sergeant unkind, Don't grouse like a woman nor crack on nor blind; Be handy and civil, and then you will find That it's beer for the young British soldier. Beer, beer, beer for the soldier . . . Now, if you must marry, take care she is old - A troop-sergeant's widow's the nicest I'm told, For beauty won't help if your rations is cold, Nor love ain't enough for a soldier. 'Nough, 'nough, 'nough for a soldier . . . If the wife should go wrong with a comrade, be loath To shoot when you catch 'em - you'll swing, on my oath! - Make 'im take 'er and keep 'er: that's Hell for them both, An' you're shut o' the curse of a soldier. Curse, curse, curse of a soldier . . . When first under fire an' you're wishful to duck, Don't look nor take 'eed at the man that is struck, Be thankful you're livin', and trust to your luck And march to your front like a soldier. Front, front, front like a soldier . . . When 'arf of your bullets fly wide in the ditch, Don't call your Martini a cross-eyed old bitch; She's human as you are - you treat her as sich, An' she'll fight for the young British soldier. Fight, fight, fight for the soldier . . . When shakin' their bustles like ladies so fine, The guns o' the enemy wheel into line, Shoot low at the limbers an' don't mind the shine, For noise never startles the soldier. Start-, start-, startles the soldier . . . If your officer's dead and the sergeants look white, Remember it's ruin to run from a fight: So take open order, lie down, and sit tight, And wait for supports like a soldier. Wait, wait, wait like a soldier . . . When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, And the women come out to cut up what remains, Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains An' go to your Gawd like a soldier. Go, go, go like a soldier, Go, go, go like a soldier, Go, go, go like a soldier, So-oldier of the Queen! |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 15 Jul 21 - 09:21 PM To celebrate the relaxation of pandemic rules we went to the Georgetown restaurant 'Global Gourmet' which has 4 Chefs that specialize in European, Mexican, Indian or Eastern Asian cuisine. The menu has mostly recognizable dishes but their specials, reliant upon availability, had truly exotic fare. The atmosphere was an ecclectic global mix as well. There was loud Mexican ballads, Chopin, Rajas or Gamalon music. Even the napkins were varied with embroidered themes that were western, Indian filigree patterns or chinese water color prints. The waiter wrote nothing down and was expert at describing the specials although he practically whispered. Having never had them I ordered the boiled frog legs. When they came they were not remotely like fish but were pungent like kidney pie and stringy. When I was asked, I told the waiter that the frog legs with peas were not particulary pleasing and there were no peas. He looked confused and asked "Frog eggs"? I said No, frog legs, . Sir you ordered the dog legs in pee, In fact your order went to the Asian Chef and not the European Chef. In that case, could I have the Pangolin Stew instead? "Of course sir. How would you like your Congo Stew of heads, spicy or plain"? I suggested they should turn the music down and left. |

While a Google Gold subscription is pricey like a Bezos space ride one could conceivably look up tommorrow's winning lottery number. The NSA is expected to gobble up Google Gold which means we are one step closer to government at the highest decision making level by computer.

A single black face was as rare is an Audi R8 in the parking lot of Nick's diner. The Bloods bloodied the Police with anything they could swing but there were other tactical war gear such as chemical weapons, strobe lights, body armor and electric cattle prods. No one knows how many ghost guns were in the capitol but it is so very odd that the insurrection attempt was done without a shot being fired in anger by the bloods. Its almost like they had agreed upon rules of engagement. Were the rules ever in writing, email or social media post? Or were they only whispered or sung |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 19 Jun 21 - 11:35 AM In 2007 Abisinthe became legal again in the US. It tastes like licorice. However I see no reason one would want to block their GABA receptors. The plastic tub I was storing it in became upended somehow, mixing the opened abisinthe with blue Hypnotique and Grey Goose. The colors did not mix evenly and reminded me of a tropical beach going from deep blue to light green when put in a clear bottle. When shaken with a tincture of homeopathic magic mushrooms there was an additional psilocybin 'blueing' to an indescribable deep turquoise that would lighten as one watched the liquor grow still. It was all alcohol based so I don't understand how it behaved like a living azeotrope. Its gone now but a color changing liquor would sell well today. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 18 Jun 21 - 09:14 PM Single malt? Irish or Scotch? I have both, both well aged and excellent brands.

This is also 750ml of Lamb's 151 proof navy rum, plus odds and ends such as poteen. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 15 Jun 21 - 08:49 AM It's just mere money, Mom. Remember what Thomas More said: "They much more admire and detest the folly of those who, when they see a rich man, though they neither owe him anything, nor are in any sort dependent on his bounty, yet, merely because he is rich, give him little less than divine honours, even though they know him to be so covetous and base-minded that, notwithstanding all his wealth, he will not part with one farthing of it to them as long as he lives!” So, spend it and get it over with and eliminate covetousness from your life. That's my sage advice, Mom. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 31 May 21 - 10:42 AM gnu, I have replaced a few things on older vehicles (pre-computer). The housing for the water temperature sensor (and the sensor itself - any time you open that you might as well replace the sensor.) On the old Ford Courier that Mazda built. 4-cylinder. And I changed the oil in my VW beetle and in my Ford F-100. The most I can claim to have done recently is change the cabin air filter in the Nissan SUV. What a bugger to replace - you have to be a contortionist to fit in there. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 31 May 21 - 09:41 AM I have wondered about a dimension of space that is in immediate contact with every other point in space irregardless of distance or time. Is that anything to do with manifolds? (trapped time?) We have differnt conventional ideas how things are entangled with no connection to distance. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/how-do-you-entangle-particles.120001/ btw negative matter is theorized to be trapped in gravity wells. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: gnu Date: 31 May 21 - 09:15 AM I stripped an exhaust manifold bolt (header stud fer ye yanks) and marred the header threads on my old F150. I think it might have non-Euclidean. Anyway, I was screwed (another non-Euclidean)... had to drill and tap the block (by eye). But, I gotter done, eh. I still dated many subsets of lasses in that truck after I got er fixed up. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 30 May 21 - 09:24 PM Don't worry about it as paracompact manifolds have all the topological properties of metric spaces. In particular, they are perfectly normal Hausdorff spaces. Manifolds are also commonly required to be second-countable. This is precisely the condition required to ensure that the manifold embeds in some finite-dimensional Euclidean space. However, non-Euclidean Hausdorff spaces do exist (probability approaches certainty) as the existence of manifolds in Hausdorff spaces includes non-Euclidean manifolds. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 27 May 21 - 10:10 PM I've pondered the etiology of misinformation to consolidate power and ancient religions obviously came to mind. There are other more amusing examples of misinformation for misinformation's sake that are almost playful as in the 15th century Vornich manuscript. I would say there is an innate urge to create lies and a thirst to engage in misinformation. The raison d'etre of MOAB is to therefore satisfy a need for misinformation, supposition and realization of the absurd as in the early days of Moab. When this country first engaged in birtherism many felt there is no harm done so let it go on. Now the lie has become bigger and the results more violent. If Republican think tanks think this is a path to consolidate power they are gambling with the fact that "Rome is the mob, and you can't control the mob". Even if only 30% of our citizens are a minority identifing with the mob it still represents a critical mass and can easily explode. The weak link in the chain of peace is often assasination, be it the Rabin murder or the Kennedy murder or the Sadat murder there is an ever present obstacle to the advance of rationality. The world of man is a world of lies that will eventually counter all truth until the civilization collapses. It is an inevitablity. UNLESS you buy Zazoom which cures all ills. Just spray it on My Pillow and sleep like an opiated angel. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 20 May 21 - 09:26 PM Although considered disgusting in Western culture, cockroaches are eaten in many places around the world. Whereas household pest cockroaches may carry bacteria and viruses, cockroaches bred under laboratory conditions can be used to prepare nutritious food. In Mexico and Thailand, the heads and legs are removed, and the remainder may be boiled, sautéed, grilled, dried or diced. In China, cockroaches have become popular as medicine and cockroach farming is rising with over 100 farms. The cockroaches are fried twice in a wok of hot oil, which makes them crispy with soft innards that are like cottage cheese. Fried cockroaches are ground and sold as pills for stomach, heart and liver diseases. A cockroach recipe from Formosa (Taiwan) specifies salting and frying cockroaches after removing the head and entrails. Yummy! (The USAF once served my little brother deep-fat-fried maggots.) |

Any picture can be be used to put a layer of text or another photo then lighten to impercptual visibility and flatten. The way to recover the information is to to put the picture through several rounds of maximum contrast. Variations using color also works by using saturation and contrast or inverse color enhancment. Subliminal messages can be done by not going all the way to imperceptability or in video the same old single frame technique with some new gimmocks.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 15 May 21 - 06:23 PM Rap I bought a damaged ceremonial sword. The ivory handle is not firmly attached to the blade. The blade is engraved on both sides all the way to the hilt. It is of some sort of battle between Templar knights and a Middle east enemy. The silver 'ropes' that are attached to the sheath reminds me of mexican silver. I believe it is cursed and belonged to a secret order once upon a time. But it is damaged and not suitable for a dual. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 May 21 - 09:38 AM There was a mystery teddy bear left on the lawn in the back yard overnight. I suspect the puppy grabbed it from the closet in the guest room. It is a bear with no known name, but looks very familiar. It means I should put the ancient fragile named bear ("Grrrr." When the toddler boy who received it was told that bears say "grrrr" he decided that was the name.) We know who dragged it out because as I examined it I looked up and the pup had tucked herself away in the kennel for self-imposed time out. As far as past MOAB characters, this pup is nothing so obnoxious as Chongo, but it does match up to some of the dachshund stories that LH has told. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 24 Apr 21 - 04:11 PM I don't think you meant to say the muon is new, its spin behavior measurement however is new.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 24 Apr 21 - 03:58 PM For weeks the muon has sparked speculation that an undiscoverd boson is respondsible for the muon's abberant behavior or perhaps some other unexpected interaction. We can play with muons for up to 3 seconds now at relativistic speeds, which slows time down. News reporting rhetoric on the muon is somewhat hyperbolic. The fate of all mankind is NOT in question regarding new muon data. :*) I thought when Amos described an aspect of the universe to be a massive tendril gently wrapping itself around our visible galaxies to be spot on and poetic. Today cosmological musing gave way to more pressing matters like "whats for lunch". |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 23 Apr 21 - 09:42 PM The mystery will be what its eating and what it is pooping My ol pal Pythagorus mused about the music of the spheres obeying a 12 note scale. While wrong he was kinda right if you consider string theory vibrations in 12 dimensions. Even Einstien got esoteric in his last 30 years and spoke of the 'mind of god' being virtually alive. I've heard how dark matter is like the branches and trunk of a tree while normal matter is like the leaves on the cosmic tree but I never heard that the diet of dark matter is visible matter. Dark matter may be eating some of those 12 dimensions that are causing in turn the acceleration of the universe. A star trek cure for the universe might be to sour the 'taste' of the devoured dimension and protect sections of the universe from tearing apart. Perhaps your Overlords are big fat gluttons. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 23 Apr 21 - 08:46 PM Critters that feed on things leave leavings, feces and other things. This was true of dinosaurs, and is true of people and other animals. Even viruses leave their "scat" behind, as do molds. See numbers 6, 7, and 8. Britannica.com says, "No specialized elimination mechanisms are present in algae, fungi, protozoans, and slime molds, the main groups of protists. Metabolic wastes (carbon dioxide, water, oxygen, and nitrogenous compounds) diffuse through the cell membranes of these unicellular organisms into the outside environment. Particulate wastes pass from the bodies of certain protozoans to the exterior by way of small openings in the body surface—anal pores and other cell openings. Elimination in protists is carried out passively and therefore requires little or no expenditure of metabolic energy on the part of the organism." So, where's the poop? Are black holes just universal flush mechanisms? |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 23 Apr 21 - 05:21 AM Voracious dark matter is drawn to its prey, the visible universe, and feeds in a genocidal frenzy leaving space to expand in the absense of its digested food. The universe at its foundation is nothing but a hungry slime mold and has nothing to do with your son searching for a dead beat dad story with the aid of time machines. The human race mimics the dynamics of the universe at large by killing itself via genocides,slavery, wars against the designated savages, colon ialism and the market.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 22 Apr 21 - 02:03 PM How nature reveals itself in the small and the big: Or how I learned to think like the ancients. I find that the obvious is often the most shocking. This POV of mine has led me to the subject of our Feeding Universe. Of course the obvious is often 'wromg' however there are shared mathmatical algorithms between 2D slime mold feeding patterns and the mega structure of the entire 4D universe. The mega structure of the universe is like a fiberous sponge that obeys the math law of how to cover the maximum area with the least amount of material the same as the pattern slime molds obey in order to feed effectively. are ya with me so far? This is like an ultimate monster sci fi plot. The predator is invisible and we are the prey it feeds upon. The shape is not the main issue, the issue is that slime mold is alive. The thing is scientists have proven the exact similarity of a slime mold feeding pattern and the pattern of dark matter grouping of galaxies. Some say the universe is alive. Now we are seeing it seems to feed upon itself. I think this plot has legs and could go someplace. |

That 12-second video of cops breaking up a knife fight among young women and killing the knife-wielder has been the most recent of that sort. Horrible outcome. The toddler is lucky he was able to get away alive. I was able to get my trash out to the truck even though I missed curbside pickup this morning—they paused two doors up as the driver was chatting with my across-the-street neighbor.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 22 Apr 21 - 08:17 AM A policemn's reality is built on shifting sand. Humans have long practiced human sacrifice, only the motivations have changed. How many other species do this I don't know. Today the state provides a license to kill provisionally. Split second murder decisions do not even allow for the forebrain to have a conscious say. But a murder that takes over nine minutes in front of a nine year old is more than most civilized people can accept as justified. Such deliberate action with forethought is a definition of murder. *So is war* but the state can declare such murder to be legal. Law has made allowances for self defense. Some of you have experienced having to choose to use lethal force in self defense or not. Lets hope you chose correctly. The subject of murder defines a culture imo. In the US for example, lynching is not a federal crime. Murder is both a state and personal decision. I hope we choose wisely. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 19 Apr 21 - 11:09 PM This was in The Atlantic by Emilia Phillips, and I wish a few people had remarked on it when I posted it to Facebook. I'm not the only one who listens to the voices of the classical music radio station hosts, am I? Late-Night Classical Radio Host(A poem for Sunday) The first thing you need is a voice. One someone can fall asleep to. Can sleep through. Words twinkling in faint starbursts of static. Your timbre must sotto the way a library book smells like the mausoleum of Erato. You must bring a thermos— an old metal one, dinged. Fill it with quote-unquote coffee but drink slowly. Before 3, you’ll have to say Saint-Saens without slurring. Oh, and you’ll need to know Italian, of course. Or, at least, how to pronounce it—those hard c’s in concerti. When you arrive, take off winter and hang it on the hook by the door. Your wool socks on the ancient green carpet will remind you of a long-ago dream in which you were an army of one marching across Elysia. The studio’s wood paneling will one day give you a splinter you’ll suck out during the flute menuet of Bizet’s “L’Arlésienne Suite No. 2.” You’ll get used to the schedule of sleeping through the day, only to wake as the the sun sets like a bald man’s head under a hat. You’ll prepare for your shift by stuffing cotton balls in your mouth and saying catgut lute five times fast. You’ll do this because you know there are only a few who’ll listen to you. And this, you think, is good practice for the afterlife. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 06 Apr 21 - 07:38 AM If you believe ol uncle Einstein, then the notion of a singularity is impossible and against all known laws. On the other hand a bridge, wormhole or vortex to another part of a universe is allowed inside a black hole. How the heck could we ever check? It has been thought its a one way trip. IT is BUT Here's how to check...If there is a BH somewhere in the universe where two stars orbit a black hole on each side of a black hole just outside the accretion disk, we could look for the gravity of the star behind the black hole...if it is not there, it was swallowed up by a gravity 'shadow' going down a drain . If the gravity is accounted for via lensing, ol Al is RIGHT AGAIN. Your trip inside a black hole wormhole would be a wild ride of acceleration for awhile but gravity would not approach infinite and would actually slow down toward an emergence some place else. Your space craft would preferably be non magnetic inside a warp bubble to free you from inertial forces and radiation. Sorry, you will have no navigation in this macro quantum event. Finding the ideal black hole off ramp from this universe is unlikely, making the ideal spacecraft is unlikely and getting to the off ramp is currently too far. But hey for sci-fi writers its instant gratification. Beyond the journey, could be the ultimate Gulliver's Travels. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 04 Apr 21 - 07:47 AM Where's Pandora Explanation: Four moons are visible on the featured image -- can you find them all? First -- and farthest in the background -- is Titan, the largest moon of Saturn and one of the larger moons in the Solar System. The dark feature across the top of this perpetually cloudy world is the north polar hood. The next most obvious moon is bright Dione, visible in the foreground, complete with craters and long ice cliffs. Jutting in from the left are several of Saturn's expansive rings, including Saturn's A ring featuring the dark Encke Gap. On the far right, just outside the rings, is Pandora, a moon only 80-kilometers across that helps shepherd Saturn's F ring. The fourth moon? If you look closely inside Saturn's rings, in the Encke Gap, you will find a speck that is actually Pan. Although one of Saturn's smallest moons at 35-kilometers across, Pan is massive enough to help keep the Encke gap relatively free of ring particles. After more than a decade of exploration and discovery, the Cassini spacecraft ran low on fuel in 2017 and was directed to enter Saturn's atmosphere, where it either vaporized or became a new plot for a future Star Trek episode along side Vger. https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2104/fourmoons_cassini_960.jpg Where's Pan, Waldo? |

He read 2 or 3 of McGonagall's best known shorter works and burst into a fit of hooting and laughter which went on for some time. Then he said, "I'm bettin' this guy drank pretty heavy, huh?" |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Little Hawk Date: 03 Apr 21 - 09:38 PM Ah, yes.....William Topaz McGonagall! The greatest poet of the Ages! It's time we heard some more from the Bard of Edinburgh. List then to these magnificent verses that spilled from his pen in the year of our Lord 1883. The Famous Tay Whale 'TWAS in the month of December, and in the year l883, That a monster whale came to Dundee, Resolved for a few days to sport and play, And devour the small fishes in the silvery Tay. So the monster whale did sport and play Among the innocent little fishes in the beautiful Tay, Until he was seen by some men one day, And they resolved to catch him without delay. When it came to be known a whale was seen in the Tay, Some men began to talk and to say, We must try and catch this monster of a whale, So come on, brave boys, and never say fail. Then the people together in crowds did run, Resolved to capture the whale and to have some fun! So small boats were launched on the silvery Tay, While the monster of the deep did sport and play. Oh! it was a most fearful and beautiful sight, To see it lashing the water with its tail all its might, And making the water ascend like a shower of hail, With one lash of its ugly and mighty tail. Then the water did descend on the men in the boats, Which wet their trousers and also their coats; But it only made them the more determined to catch the whale, But the whale shook at them his tail. Then the whale began to puff and to blow, While the men and the boats after him did go, Armed well with harpoons for the fray, Which they fired at him without dismay. And they laughed and grinned just like wild baboons, While they fired at him their sharp harpoons: But when struck with,the harpoons he dived below, Which filled his pursuers' hearts with woe. Because they guessed they had lost a prize, Which caused the tears to well up in their eyes; And in that their anticipations were only right, Because he sped on to Stonehaven with all his might: And was first seen by the crew of a Gourdon fishing boat Which they thought was a big coble upturned afloat; But when they drew near they saw it was a whale, So they resolved to tow it ashore without fail. So they got a rope from each boat tied round his tail, And landed their burden at Stonehaven without fail; And when the people saw it their voices they did raise, Declaring that the brave fishermen deserved great praise. And my opinion is that God sent the whale in time of need, No matter what other people may think or what is their creed; I know fishermen in general are often very poor, And God in His goodness sent it drive poverty from their door. So Mr John Wood has bought it for two hundred and twenty-six pound, And has brought it to Dundee all safe and all sound; Which measures 40 feet in length from the snout to the tail, So I advise the people far and near to see it without fail. Then hurrah! for the mighty monster whale, Which has got 17 feet 4 inches from tip to tip of a tail! Which can be seen for a sixpence or a shilling, That is to say, if the people all are willing. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 01 Apr 21 - 09:20 PM The longest we have ever stored anti matter is a sixth of a second which is not long enough to experiment with it. But that has changed with a pulsed laser that "cools down anti matter." It was conceived by a Canadian guy :^) If there are any differences as to how anti matter reacts to gravity or other things we can settle some truths. Physics loves to see the unexpected. When you get scanned with slowly released anti matter - positrons we can measure the light of the photons produced to take an internal picture of you. Perhaps you thought you had nothing to do with anti matter in your life, but it ain't so. We can make anti hydrogen with an anti proton and a positron and even store it for an extended time compared to magnetic traps. Its as strange as a ghost busters ghost trap and has only been around very recently. You won't be able to buy a gram of anti matter on Amazon for decades. |

Superabundance can lead to a primary conversion to acetaldehyde by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase and then to acetic acid by an oxidation and egestion process. These reactions also convert nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to its reduced form NADH in a redox reaction, making normal bodily functions more difficult. By causing an imbalance of the NAD+/NADH redox system, and as a consequence of the induced redox changes in the human body can include increased triglyceride production, increased amino acid catabolism, inhibition of the citric acid cycle, lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis, hyperuricemia, disturbance in cortisol and androgen metabolism and increased fibrogenesis. The metabolism of glucose and insulin are also influenced. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 31 Mar 21 - 06:06 PM Zero phase lag synchronization occurs between discharges of neurons in different brain regions and is enhanced by presentation of stimuli. This evidence further suggests that spatiotemporal patterns of coherence, which have been identified by spatial principal component analysis, may encode a multidimensional representation of a present or past event. How such distributed information is integrated into a holistic percept constitutes the binding problem. How a percept defined by a spatial distribution of nonrandomness can be subjectively experienced constitutes the problem of consciousness. Explanations based on a discrete connectionistic network cannot be reconciled with the relevant facts. Evidence is presented herein of invariant features of brain electrical activity found to change reversibly with loss and return of consciousness after drinking Jim Beam. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 23 Mar 21 - 08:33 AM In science news the lab grown and transplanted vaginas may get all the headlines but the Leptoquarks at CERN are real enough to become electrons more often than muons, hinting a new force in the universe by a tri color Boson creating a field we have not expected or predicted like the Higgs. IMO there are 8 bosons for us to explore and find out what kinds of fields and forces that we have been missing. The dark matter may be expressed in other boson force fields, who knows even gravity could be undersstood. At any rate new forces are afoot Sherlock. We are all floating about in a quantum sea and discovering new forces/currents in this sea is a big deal. When we find out, quantum mechanics might even make sense to humans. This may be bigger than the cosmological constant and the space energy that expands more space which in turn makes more space until one day... poof...the big RIP happens and matter and energy are reduced to a lower energy level by Entropy/Shiva. No one expected the humble little lepto quark would be the mouse that roared. |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 18 Mar 21 - 08:57 PM Oh, yeah! Mom, I found the old family sap/blackjack! I won't have to use the book weight anymore! |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 18 Mar 21 - 08:55 PM So, not having CAT5 access to all four of the computers on the first floor I went out to buy a new 5-port switch (hub). It's installed and all is working as it should -- except Pat found another such in her magic supply closet. Oh well, the new one is 1 gig and the old one is 150 mbs. Now if I could just find those two hanks of CAT5 I remember having here in the office.... Mind you, we don't need any more CAT5, open or pinned out. By the way, if anyone needs padlocks for firearms, let me know (they're actually pretty good locks -- Master, mostly, with cable-type shackles.) They are quite usable for anything you'd use a padlock for. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 18 Mar 21 - 01:32 PM Fry's Electronics shut down all of it's stores around the US - if you want to shop for the corporeal version of BS, Fry's had it. The most oddball items in its inventory. But they also had a lot of modems and routers along one wall, and I will miss shopping there. For objects with no moving parts it's astonishing how quickly modems and routers die, isn't it? Planned obsolescence, illustrated. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 17 Mar 21 - 09:19 PM Then, on Sunday last, our in-home network up and died dead. Yup, the router (18 months or so old!) kicked the bucket. So I ordered one from Costco and paid $12.25 for "expedited shipping" with an arrival on the 16th. Nope. UPS delivered it today. Seems like there were storms in Wyoming that were delaying shipments. Mind you, this was coming from Tacoma.... I'm going to ask for the additional shipping cost back. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 17 Mar 21 - 07:08 PM MOM, on the other hand, cleaned out the sun porch after finding exploded canned goods she left out there during the freeze. This didn't happen at my house just at MOM's, and I imagine she heard the explosions when they happened. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 17 Mar 21 - 12:14 AM I got the book full of exploded diagrams of vintage sewing machines, along with a lot of descriptions of how to fix various problems they develop. I can see why it's in such demand. Thank goodness for ILL. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 15 Mar 21 - 05:25 PM The liberation from useless habits is glorius. Those who advocate or demand others to adopt their habits be it fashion, face paint or nose rings are an annoying breed. "Boy the doctors and schools were really upset when we deformed our infant son's skull with cranial binding so we stopped halfway through. Young Tut now says he is glad we did."

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 Mar 21 - 01:10 PM I'm reading The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*uck. I should have read it years ago (published 2016). It is particularly interesting in the time of COVID when a lot of people have learned some of this stuff on their own (dressing for comfort, not for style, stop with the makeup, not doing as many things like hair color, fancy nails, etc. - basically, don't give a fuck about fashion) and just living in their bodies and their homes comfortably. It should have been required reading before I retired, when the new dean came in; maybe a lot of us would have figured out how to dismiss her BS without raising blood pressure over her nonsense. :) |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 13 Mar 21 - 09:43 PM Aaaaand...my revolver lost a part at the unloading table and I had to stop, leave the match, and take it to a gunsmith. It was an easy fix, but working with a tiny screw on an outdoor table sitting on gravel isn't good for one's mechanical abilities, especially when one doesn't have the necessary tools. I wasn't charged anything, as it was a small screwdriver & loctite job (possibly a red one, not blue). |

The weather is supposed to be nice enough, the roads are okay, I don't have anything else on the schedule, I don't have any medical problems at the moment -- nihil obstat as we used to say! Shall I save you a piece after we barbecue 'em? |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 12 Mar 21 - 04:23 PM There is a very important film that centers on a subject that has had an effect on everyone their entite life. It deserves a thread of its own but ther is no democratic free access. I rebelled against peronality tests written by middle age white guys used for employment. I have always refused to even take them, even for the US government. The great white supreamist knee on your neck |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 12 Mar 21 - 11:57 AM MOM, gotta clean up this house.

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 11 Mar 21 - 08:44 AM I created a very odd toll booth on the Massachuseetts Turnpike. One winter I managed a Mafioso Pizzaria. Sometimes we had left over orders at the end of the night. The most extra pizzas numbered over 30. I would would pass them on to the toll booth attendant who in turn would pass them on to people with kids who seemed hungry. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Rapparee Date: 10 Mar 21 - 08:39 PM There was a book about a haunted exit on the Pennsylvania Turnpike called The Tollbooth Phantom. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 Mar 21 - 12:09 PM Nice one, Don! I have a file in my photo directory that is large images I let rotate on my screen saver (before the computer goes to sleep). I've added that one to it. NASA has lovely large images that lend themselves well to the desktop image (I have a black background and the photo that appears on both monitor screens is the rover track on Mars taken several years ago.) |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 10 Mar 21 - 09:43 AM Could Queen Calafia's mythical island exist in space? Perhaps not, but by chance the outline of this molecular space cloud echoes the outline of the state of California, USA. Our Sun has its home within the Milky Way's Orion Arm, only about 1,000 light-years from the California Nebula. Also known as NGC 1499, the classic emission nebula is around 100 light-years long. On the featured image, the most prominent glow of the California Nebula is the red light characteristic of hydrogen atoms recombining with long lost electrons, stripped away (ionized) by energetic starlight. The star most likely providing the energetic starlight that ionizes much of the nebular gas is the bright, hot, bluish Xi Persei just to the right of the nebula. A regular target for astrophotographers, the California Nebula can be spotted with a wide-field telescope under a dark sky toward the constellation of Perseus, not far from the Pleiades.

He'd go to all the cemeteries in town and was as graves were excavated, telling the workers, "Man, like, I DIG graves, ya know." |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 08 Mar 21 - 11:47 AM As seen on TV pall bearer back straps can enable just two people to bear up to 500 lbs. Does 2 straps on each person allow 2 people to lift 1,000 lbs? |

Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Stilly River Sage Date: 05 Mar 21 - 07:56 PM There is a Higgs in the family (married name of my dad's first cousin.) I've always wondered if there is a connection. |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 05 Mar 21 - 02:26 PM The electtro dynamic dipole moment to shield the Higgs field is anomolous due to its value being variably over 2 (2.00016537 As simple as a magnet, the Higgs shield flows from south pole to north allowing mass to travel at the speed of light. Our current attempts only work on mass ass big as several million atoms at a time but still visible to the human eye a couple microns accross. To scale up as large as a space craft a launch from empty space or a moon without an atmosphere would be necesssary. However what makes it anomolous is that over a 8 light year trip to a nearby star we could navigationally be off by almost a month. Two pesky gluons are gumming up the scle up process but its good to se what Prof. Higgs was up to from the start. https://nationalpost.com/news/higgs-boson-find-could-make-light-speed-travel-possible-scientists-hope |
Subject: RE: MOAB - Mother of All BS [annex] From: Donuel Date: 05 Mar 21 - 06:36 AM Ironicly this MOAB annex is in the civil war years. For years the Idaho potato farmers quietly dug transgender potatos for Americans to eat but 5th Ave has essentially outed the transgender potato and is radicalizing the Idaho Potato farmer. Potato Futures are in disarray. Brexit has depressed potato exports and Ireland and China are the clear winners in this transgender Potato war of our own making. There is a call to arms, legs and lips among Potatohead Patriots. |
