Say HI to the girl for me. I’m so excited that she’s looking at University programs. She’s a winner and we knew it all along watching her grow. She also has fabulous parents. 🙂
This is a new handheld ultrasound device from a company in the UK. The doc or physio plugs it into their smart phone and scans the part of the body they want to test. Can use it for the heart, a bum knee, anything. SCIENCE.

This is my entry for the most boring post on Blogmocracy for 2019.
Today I met a gender neutral friend for about 15 minutes this afternoon and we discussed many things but due to time constraints very briefly. One was the Trump impeachment inquiry farce.
Another was the stupidity of the changing the clocks stupidity. Why do we do it?
The generally accepted view is that it will be lighter in the morning and so school children will be safer going to school. There will be less accidents involving children.
Now, recently some states, education authorities etc are recommending and implementing a policy whereby schools start later in the day so as to give the delicate children an extra hour or two of sleep.
That makes a mockery of the time change in winter does it not?
If school children need extra sleep MAKE THE LITTLE BASTARDS GO TO BED EARLIER!
That is not all, I have another really boring post about the time change lined up.
You will be amazed I can still get my shit together.
Oh as a side note, meeting my gender neutral friend was a very enjoyable but short afternoon.
Central Time Zone, all data taken from Accuweather and dated 11/02/2019 as in before we messed with the time.
South Central time zone.
East point Dothan AL, West El Paso TX.
North Central time zone.
East Grand Portage MN, West Williston ND.
So current sunrise and sunset down here in the South. In AL at Dothan the most East place in Central time they had sunrise at 6:58am tomorrow it will be 5:59am.
In the South El Paso had a sunrise today at 7:23am Tomorrow it will be 6:24am
So, as we move towards the winter solstice in January the days will become shorter, sunrise will be later and many children lives will be saved becayse we changed the time!
Children never have to go to school in the dark!
However…..
Now look at the North end of the Central Time Zone.
Most West point Grand Portage, Sunrise 7:45am, cool, change the time back an hour and kids still can go to 8:00am class in daylight.
In November….
Poor kids in Williston ND went to school yesterday and got there at 8am. Sun did not rise until 8:41am
Williston kids have been going to school for weeks in the dark.
The point of my ranting?
If time change is primarily to avoid child deaths then start school later and quit fucking with my sleep cycle, and more importantly quit fucking with my cats’ sleep cycle.
Changing the time of your car clock is easy.
You try changing the time on a cat.
LOL….
What I was basically trying to say that the further North you go no amount of fucking about with clocks will make any difference.

In just 7 short days England lost their mojo and were a very different team. I think they just ‘choked’ when it came to the final.
Poor Wales.
Never arrange to play the All Blacks if the ABs are just coming off a loss.
The Men in Black were ruthless and dispatched the Welsh, swatting them aside.

trikes. tide charts. rappelling gear.
motley crew has nothing on these cats.
the world we live in
War Pigs
Black Sabbath
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death’s construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord yeah
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight
They leave that all to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait ’till their judgment day comes, yeah
Now in darkness world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning?
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
Oh Lord yeah

Why they had to move yet another UN ‘climate conference from Chile. People protesting higher transit fare and taxes. From wattsupwiththat.
“As Chileans protest, climate activists and their media allies want people to believe oil is to blame, rather than government climate programs that raise energy prices and impoverish people.
Unlike speculative climate change woes that never seem to materialize, carbon dioxide taxes and renewable energy mandates immediately and measurably raise living costs and reduce living standards. In the United States, people may have some concern about climate change, but polling shows most Americans aren’t willing to pay $2 per month to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
In Chile, where per-capita income is merely one-quarter of U.S. per-capita income, people are understandably even less willing to pay for carbon dioxide reduction. Moreover, Chile’s per-capita income is higher than that of most other Latin American countries, so people in other Latin American countries would be even more likely to rise up and protest economically destructive climate change programs like the ones imposed in Chile.”
MOVE the UN to Pakistan or West Africa.
@ yenta-fada:
Meanwhile, Democrats want them to pay $2 per gallon more for gas…
@ yenta-fada:
Apparently Greta was on the way … by boat … again to get to Chile just in time for the Climate Summit. Now her professional crew have had to head for port from the south Atlantic and then fly home to Europe. A second professional crew are flying to South America to ferry the yacht back to Europe. Meanwhile little Greta is looking for a lift to somehow get back to Europe in time to attend the Summit … without burning any carbon…
🙂
Silly little cow.
The whole ball of wax was one massive carbon burning publicity stunt. Two crews of sailing professionals are flying business class between Europe and South America, one crew heading North and the other heading South … but your paroles aren’t supposed to know that … so little psycho brat Greta can pose before the adoring MSM cameras and spit out her rehearsed bile.
SPIT
Pathetic!

@ lobo91:
But because it’s the government getting the money, high gas prices are fine. If Chevron, Mobile or some other company made a profit, it’s the end of the world.

To possum’s point regarding more heart attacks after time change, has anyone done a study comparing non-Navajo (they change time) areas of Arizona rates at the same time as other areas of the country? That should serve as a good control.

Re Greta; the little psycho put it out on twitter that she would appreciate an appropriate free ride to Madrid. Communists are MOOCHES
Little darling was getting 18k likes when I looked. Greta, stop with the pigtail and I’m a 12 year old child look. Actually it works for her.
I had to explain to my sheltered and naïve Obamamaniac friend that her son in California still needed electricity to charge up his car if they bought him an electric car. He charged his phone from his car when they had brief power outages in Berkley. They don’t get that you can’t store power like water. Her husband has a PhD in Physics, butis keeping silent when she blames everything on evil Corporations and the Koch brothers.
She is a wonderful person but terribly misguided.

Well that’s not exactly true. The nutty State government of New South Wales in Australia is using hydro generated power to PUMP water to a higher dam where it will wait until there is a need for a lot of power. Alas the losses between the motor the pump, the wall friction of the piping, storage losses through evaporation, more wall friction losses, more generator losses when it’s reused, transmission losses make the whole exercise a bit of a nonsense. So many losses that there is precious little usable power to actually use.
Then there is hydrogen conversion but that has its own list of losses. Efficiency losses of power used in the electrolysis process to generate hydrogen from water, Cooling and pump losses as the hydrogen is compressed, fuel cell losses as the hydrogen creates electricity, Transmission losses etc, etc. Efficiency losses as far as the eye can see.
If you use batteries to store the power such as a Tesla cell, There are storage losses aplenty before you get to use the power at a time of your choosing and then all the normal losses before the electricity actually does useful work!
In this world you get ‘nuttin fur nuttin’.

Given that her husband has a PhD in Physics and could obviously explain it to her in words of one syllable is he henpecked into silence…. much?

@ Aussie Infidel:
I’d say that the early years of their long marriage he got his own way all the time. When she became political she worked her way into a position of power in the Community,then the whole city. That changed the dynamics of the relationship gradually. They became a power couple but always very grounded in family and friends.
Very interesting lecture on some of the dynamics of hydro power. I need to make a start in educating myself.

I don’t fuck with the clocks. I set my calendar back instead. Tomorrow is Sunday.

I watched the Australian Snowy Mountains Hydro Scheme when I was a kid (10-16). Used to visit with my aunt and uncle . They lived on the sSnowy River at a tiny town called Jindabyne. … until they moved a lake into the valley and shifted the town 3 miles up the hill. In all there were about 13 major dams build and miles of huge underground tunnels linking dams and lakes. The whole Snowy Scheme took 20 years to build and employed over 100,000 Italian and Greek immigrants fleeing Europe after WWII finished.
I used to hitch hike around the mountains by yelling to the drivers of explosives hauling trucks if I could jump up. They used to grind up the steep dirt roads at 3 MPH so it was easy to jump on and off.
