Treefrog – I was present at a university ‘lecture’ by Hubert H H in the field house , attended by several thousand

Posted by Alex Valdor @ 20:47 on July 12, 2018  

Just after silver dollars and silver certificates were replaced by Fed Notes .

At the end of his speech , he allowed a few questions , one of which was about any value of the fiat , long term . His response : “I guarantee you that if you put paper currency of the major nations on a table and turn out the light , when the light comes back on the US Fed Note will be the one missing !”.

Thunderous applause from the Young Democrats .

Puzzled looks exchanged by the Young Republicans and the undecided .

Comment by someone filing out of the assembly ” Can’t you just picture that prune face peering out from under a sun bonnet in one of the Conestoga Wagons headed west ?”

Pastor in Alabama Church

An Alabama pastor said to his congregation, Someone in this congregation has spread a rumor that I belong to the Ku Klux Klan.

This is a horrible lie and one which a Christian community cannot tolerate.I am embarrassed and do not intend to accept this.

Now, I want the party who said this to stand and ask forgiveness from God and this Christian family.”

No one moved.

The preacher continued, “Do you have the nerve to face me and admit this is a falsehood?

Remember, you will be forgiven and in your heart you will feel glory. Now stand and confess your transgression.”

Again, all was quiet.

Then, slowly, a drop-dead gorgeous blonde with a body that would stop a runaway train rose from the third pew.

Her head was bowed and her voice quivered as she spoke, “Reverend there has been a terrible misunderstanding..

I never said you were a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I simply told a couple of my friends that you were a wizard under the sheets.”

The preacher fell to his knees, his wife fainted, and the congregation roared.

Life is Short. Smile while you still have Teeth.

Give me an Amen Brother!

How tech is revolutionising the mining industry

Posted by ipso facto @ 17:32 on July 12, 2018  

The use of controlled explosives is vital in mines but can be deadly if they are handled wrongly.

If miners do not make accurate measurements or choose the right spots to place explosives, rocks can fracture in unexpected ways, creating a hazardous situation both underground and above the surface.

So imagine being able to practise this risky art without the inherent dangers, in a simulated, virtual reality mine.

The world’s first VR blast wall was developed by South African company Simulated Training Solutions (STS3D), and installed at Glencore’s Mopani Copper Mines in Zambia in 2016. Since then, two more walls have been installed in South Africa, with a third currently under construction.

There’s a handful of things so just tried to narrow it down and yeah chemistry too Boyles Law. I wondered when younger why when I surfed and held my breath it was different for me than them. I knew someone in Force Recon a friend of the other at the time both in it that got a punctured ear drum from diving. I could get thrown to pretty good debts like 20 ft but never happened to me although you can feel the pressure in your ears and was hard for me to understand why they couldn’t hold their breath. That’s is kinda one science for surfing, the height of the wave and how long you could be under water providing no other wave hits you before you get back up and it happens.
I started picking things up little by little all said danger but still wanted to get around to it which I did lol It’s a different world you could get lost in so like Ororeef says stick to a plan.

You can get that going the other way too going up in the air. Things happen up there too including vertigo for those mock flyers. They killed a bunch of good piolots once with experiments. A survivor of it told me when he was in his 80 s about 18-19 years ago because of that.
They guessed if the destroyed their sinuses they wouldn’t get vertigo so they used radioactive material. He didn’t cooperate exactly so was the only or close too survivor. The rest got cancer he said and died.

Portugeezer had an idea for a poll a while back

“In 1970, fresh out of the University of British Columbia with a degree in geology, Chuck Fipke signed on with mining company Kennecott Copper to look for gold and copper in Papua New Guinea. A helicopter would drop him off alone in the middle of a jungle, and pick him up at the end of the day. The terrain was so rough that the chopper often couldn’t land — Fipke would just leap out as it hovered close to the ground. One day he turned around to face 20 locals, arrows strung. He raised his arms, slowly removed his vest, and offered it to “the one who looked like the chief.” By the time the helo returned for him, Fipke was in his underpants clutching a fine array of tribal shields, bows and arrows, and fetishes. “I’ve got an amazing collection of stuff!” he says.”

Not Bacon! Tell me it’s not true

Posted by ipso facto @ 9:56 on July 12, 2018  

WHO Carcinogens: Asbestos, Arsenic, Cigarettes, Alcohol,… & Bacon!?

The World Health Organization has now officially declared bacon to be just as dangerous to human health as tobacco cigarette smoking. WHO has made the decision to declare all processed meats “carcinogenic to humans,” and that’s not a good thing.

First , sinus flushing – I have done that for over four decades due to pollen allergies , using a Hindu Neti pot , a gravity feed , heated saline rinse into one nostril out the other . You can feel it penetrate into swollen sinus channels and flush them out . As you point out , during the pollen season it can help immensely .

Goldie – the barotrauma concept sounds plausible . Every foot of depth adds about a half PSI , so at 20 feet down , the pressure is getting close to two atmospheres , which could drive water far back into the sinuses .

Thanks to both of you for your responses .

Armstrong although no one can really predict such events said that if enough volcanos go off it could cause global cooling affecting crops. He gave a forward time not too far off and warned to stock up on food. Guess only if you see it happen.

He knows that now lol He may or may not have not had any sinus problem prior but the constant dives you explained that cause the problem may have caused tissue damage or a chronic condition from it like chronic barotrauma or something similar divers can get. Good advice maybe it will work and hope no bacteria build up deep in sinuses. That can infact be dangerous.
After I tried a dive after getting over a URI from a patient naturally just before my vacation when I told my diver friend he told me a long list of things that could of happened to me I wasn’t aware of at the time. Luckily I had sense to go back up because under pressure my lungs felt like they could of collapsed.

It’s hard to live as healthy of life as a generation before us due to so much pollution we were exposed to much younger and longer and the younger even worse now dosing them up with massive vaccines. Life expectancy is going backwards now not forwards. How many people found out things they were exposed to are hazardous later like abestos or Benzene that was in cleaning products women used.
Having real checkups including pre stroke and heart checkups help plus educating yourself on signs and symptoms of at least the common things. Also getting things in control like diabetes or things that can contribute to it ” including vaccines” that can then contribute to other problems including cognitive disorders.
In the end out living your friends spouse and sometimes even family can take its toll without something to keep them going.Plus we have a system that wants to keep riding the cost of living. Chip a cowboy fireman said something about this air head who said something about older people shouldn’t get SS ” they paid into. That he paid into it and said she’s gonna get old someday too. That was just this year and he will never be able to collect what he paid into now. I think they should privatize it and give it to his daughters. Lucky they took his dogs he loved. I remember him fretting over one of them running off for a few days on a ranch in NM. It was like a parent fretting over his kid. He was having trouble with the medical system ” insurance” before he died. Most of my long term friends worth keeping in contact already gone.
I believe a big part of it is they are not doing good check ups. We have a apathetic medical system anymore. I know someone now fighting cancer who complained for a year to his doctor of stomach problems and finally went to the ER to find after a X ray he had cancer.
Another one a nurse got a chest X ray from work due to being exposed to but didn’t have TB to find out she did too. They found no TB but found cancer. That was what you call something unfortunate occurance turning out fortunate for her. If it wasn’t caught in time she’d probably be dead now and wants to enjoy her new grand baby now and I’m sure her grand baby her.
She is now doing juicing and macrobiotics as cancer can be quite frightening. She is Japanese and said her family doesn’t have a long life span think she was settling to die too. I told her sometimes genetics is a learned lifestyle like the food you eat or environment your in so sometimes you can make lifestyle changes to change that plus knowing watch to watch for educate yourself. Easier to preach than practice sometimes lol Now it’s glycophosphate.
Yes genetics help but these days there so many toxins plus stress these days around us it’s hard to determine anymore but don’t hurt to strive to be heathy.
What I seemed to notice from those who lived a long time was they had away to shutting themselves out of all the economic stress and you won’t see them aside from the Rothschild type that can have 8 heart transplants won’t see them worried about the stock market that’s for sure lol They have a ability to adjust to almost being a hermit enjoying the sumple things. The French lady who loved till what 120-30 something it was a cigarette wine , olive oil, and chocolate. She lived by a routine.
These days it’s harder to do because it’s like that runaway train heading for a brick wall.
I noticed the EU for instance wants to put off paying more that we tax payers got stuck with protecting them until years later, after Trump is gone. Go figure but he’s not having it.

The Dead Zone

Posted by Maya @ 3:09 on July 12, 2018  

This volcano vent puts out 18,000 tons of Sulfur Dioxide DAILY.  This view to the SW along the flow shows dramatically what happens.  The prevailing tradewinds come from the right side where all the greenery remains.   Downwind to the left of the flow was rich green farmland like the other side… but is now yellow death from the SO2 and acid rain.

(Don’t forget to pay your ‘Global Warming Tax’ so we can correct this!!)  [Do I need a ‘sarcasm’ tag here?]

Goldi – staying alive.

Posted by Maya @ 2:52 on July 12, 2018  

Today I attended a double funeral in my extended ‘Ohana’ family here.   63 year old son died of cancer, and a week later his alzheimer’s mother died at 83, so the surviving daughter planned their funerals and burial together in the family plot.

Losing friends that are too young…  Decades ago I lost a friend, electronics store owner, sharp mind, athletic, marathon runner… dropped dead of a massive heart attack at age 42.   You never know.  There is longevity in my family, but my aunt was disgusted with growing old after all her friends were gone.  She had one older friend who made it to age 105, but was in poor shape in her waning years.  My aunt would curse her old age, saying “105 here I come” with a scowl on her face.   She made it to 99.  That was more than enough for her.

I try to take care of myself, with intelligent supplementation to prevent common aging problems.  No heart disease or cancer in my family tree, so I am curious to see how long I can last here.  If I outlive ‘social security’ maybe my gold stash will finally be worth a lot more… albeit inflated FRNs.
