There has been skepticism expressed about the Idaho Legion's place and activities in defending Earth from the Minions Of The Galactic Overlord (MOTGO). Here is photographic proof taken from the International Space Station (Legion Forward Observer Post "India Sierra Sierra") of a bolt shot from a MOTGO "Conqueror" Class intergalactic dreadnought at a city on Earth. You can see other Earth cities burning and destroyed.

This is never reported in the main stream (or even obscure trickle) media to prevent global panic.

O eterne god, of power infinyt,
To quhois hie knawledge na thing is of obscure
That is, or was, or evir salbe, perfyt,

O blissit Jesu, that woir the thorny croun,

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.

$1,700 for a TASER® 7 CQ Home Defense Shooting Stun Gun w/ Laser Sight isn't a poor person's toy. 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).

Really? I know we all have selective memories but I vividly recall the last of Amos posts. He deeply regretted the time he spent posting so much to the exclusion of time spent with family and priorities.
When time is short we all could do bargaining such as wishing 30,000+ hours back to use differently, but to attribute it to "do it to the memory of...", it should at least be a true memory.
There is nothing wrong with taking a word from the wise and managing time more wisely.
Besides, the posts of the past have virtually disappeared for reasons I do not fully understand.

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.

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.

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.

I fixed your Fran link a few posts down (it was missing the last digit.)

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.

Cliff driving is putting stress on many State resources to recover and treat the victims of cliff driving. Cliff driving advocates say they prefer dangerous freedoms to safe mandates. The Mayor of Withering View Georgia says he will nix any moves to ban cliff driving but at the same time do not expect any ambulance or hospital care.
Now that many children are perishing inside SUV's that take the 'plunge' it is surprising that the fatality numbers are still going up.
The anti cliff driving folks blame a lack of common sense that drives people to kill ones self and others. Bill Barnone, a cliff driver survivor and internet influencer says on Facebook "You can die from safe driving. There is nothing like driving over a cliff."

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.
