Fun with Electrics

Electric cars, on their face, are a great idea. They are faster and have less moving parts and are easier to fix. They appear to be the future, however, many bugz to work out first.

And…lots of bugz too

I am occasionally forced to work with a hospitalist who has little-man’s syndrome and just can’t stop talking about his Tesla and how fast it is. So, in front of staff, I asked him if he would like to race for one year’s salary and pink slips. He said ‘Sure! I’ll smoke your Benz’. Yeah, OK little man. So I replied while heartily extending my arm for a gentlemanly bet-affirming handshake, ‘GREAT!, let’s race from here (Erie, PA) to the first craps table by the boardwalk door at Caesar’s in Atlantic City. First one to get a glass of booze and place a bet wins.’

Little man fell silent.

Herein lies the one of the problem with electric cars.

    Coal powered cars like the Tesla. I heard in CA 1 in 5 owners are leaving them in the garage because the charging stations are a hassle.

    I have a hybrid and I like it. Good gas mileage but all the repairs suck up any savings at the pump.

    I wonder what it does to one’s electric bill? Also, how do you pay for it when you charge up at a store parking lot. There were quite a few at Springfield Mall in Virginia just before we left

    Just fine for the first movers who get their free lanes to travel to work in and get free charging. BUT what happens when a good proportion buy electrics? All of these ‘come ons’ suddenly evaporate.

    Then we come to the reality of BATTERIES. Great when they are all new and work really well. But what happens when they age and can’t hold charge properly. What happens when they need replacing. Sure they can recycle the Lithium but the rest of the battery goes into the LANDFILL.Millions of tonnes of the damn things all leaking their poison into the ENVIROMENT.

    Battery powered electric cars are the Beta TVs of yesteryear. Remember those wonderful advanced monsters? Roll on the VDF of the car world. Hydrogen replaces petroleum, the fuel distribution system already exists in gas stations. Range ceases to be a problem. Fuel cells are 100% recyclable and cost a fraction of battery cost over the lifetime of a car. Owners get bragging rights about driving electric vehicles but without the downsides.

    Oh and PLEASE no allusions to the Hindenburg until you look up what REALLY burned (the Thermite doped skin and aluminium structure) as 99% of the H2 escaped for space.

    Why anyone except a hard core socialist would even think to tossing a petroleum powered car in the first place to attain some imaginary goal of Anthropological Global Warming reduction is beyond logic and is driven by pure ideology. Not a good basis for making rational decisions at the best of times.

    CDC Still Baffled People Are Paying Attention To Them

    The CDC has once again changed course, recommending that people wear masks indoors, even those who have received the COVID-19 vaccination. Many people have reacted angrily to this decision—greatly confusing the CDC, which is used to being completely ignored.

    “This whole pandemic has been bizarre for us,” said CDC spokesman Dexter Park. “Normally, we put out recommendations like only cook a steak well-done and only fry eggs over-hard, and people don’t even pay enough attention to make fun of us, so people acting like what we say during the pandemic matters is really confusing.”

    The CDC is a group of bureaucrats used to working a 9-to-5 job of complete pointlessness, making lists of recommendations that are fated to be crumpled up and thrown in a wastepaper basket. Thus, the pandemic turning them into experts whose opinions matter has caught them completely by surprise.

    “People keep saying our suggestions on masking are dumb and make no sense,” said CDC regulator Lyle Howell. “But that’s all of our suggestions on everything. We have to keep making recommendations, though, to justify our existence and get a budget. But no one listens to them—not even us. So can’t you all just go back to ignoring us and stop yelling at us? I’m just here until I get my pension.”

    I liked this comment in the article: “The gaming PC ban might seem like a trivial issue, but to me it really does exemplify what people call anarcho-tyranny. Many parts of California allow people to steal, defecate in public, use drugs, etc without prosecution. But your life is micromanaged by incompetent morons.”

    1) Fox has obtained a draft copy of a letter crafted by a coalition of House Democrats, which calls on Capitol Attending Physician Dr. Brian Monahan to consider a vaccine requirement for lawmakers and Congressional staff.

    2) The members will also ask for “at minimum, twice per week testing for those who are unable to vertify positive vaccination status.”

    Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) is the lead on the letter.

    3) The draft says that “to forego the common-sense decision to require vaccination or frequent testing in the halls of Congress due to partisan pressure would call into question the objectivity of how we make health and safety decisions for this institution…”

    4) “…and risk Members bringing a deadly virus back to their district. Furthermore, a vaccine requirement issued by the nonpartisan Office of the Attending Physician may even contribute to the depoliticization of the COVID-19 vaccine on Capitol Hill and back home.”

    Monahan should lose his license if he caves

    Also over a couple of years I watched Britannica on Prime. Sort of a good Druid/Roman fantasy. You have to suspend your belief in the laws of nature a bit. They matched some modern music to the person journeys. Called the water between Gaul and Britain the English Channel 3 and a half stars.

    Karmic lessons. Everytime I loaned or gave money to relatives or friends the outcome of the effort was disappointing. Were emergencies. One that resulted in a vacation to a beach instead of addressing the issues. lol.

    I learned from my navy seal podcasts too late.

    Ask questions first.
    Give spiritual advice first.
    Failing that find a mutual intellectual plan with accountability.
    Failing that seek a pastor or life coach for some emotional support.
    And if it gets to money make a written contract with expectations. Even if its a close relative.

    I was throwing money at other peoples problems. I didn’t have a system or template to address those emotionally presented emergencies.

    Today I would let these people battle life a bit to the point where they could show me what type of help they actually needed. A couple people have shown me that just being a good listener creates a person that solves their own problems and is much happier for it.

    Jocko Willink talks about this a lot. And he does it with some humor and character.

    DOJ Sues Texas Over Abbott’s Order to Restrict Illegal Aliens Amid Pandemic

    The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a federal lawsuit on Friday against the state of Texas and Governor Greg Abbott over an executive order he issued to limit the ground transportation of illegal aliens.

    Abbott, a Republican, said that the executive order issued Wednesday is intended to “reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure” in Texas communities, amid an increase in CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus infections in the Lone Star State, including among illegal aliens.

    Attorney General Merrick Garland asked Abbott to rescind the executive order and threatened to file a lawsuit on Thursday.

    The DOJ on Friday filed its complaint with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas in El Paso. “No State may obstruct the Federal Government in the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities,” the department said in its complaint.

    “The executive order violates the Supremacy Clause and causes injury to the United States and to individuals whom the United States is charged to protect, jeopardizing the health and safety of noncitizens in federal custody, risking the safety of federal law enforcement personnel and their families, and exacerbating the spread of COVID-19 in our communities,” the complaint reads.

    While they’re correct about the Supremacy Clause, the question here is what “Constitutional responsibility” is being obstructed?

    ICE and DOJ are required to follow the laws passed by Congress, which state that people in the country illegally are to be detained and deported. Nowhere in the law does it say that they can be transported–at taxpayers’ expense–to a location of their choice in the interior of the country.

    @ darkwords:

    The number of unsupported claims in that piece is pretty astounding:

    Republican doubt in the integrity of U.S. elections has been growing in large part due to unsupported claims from former President Trump and his allies that widespread voter fraud resulted in inaccurate 2020 election results.

    How do they know what led Republicans to doubt the integrity of our elections? Personally, I’ve had doubts going back to at least 2012. And it’s nice that they get to label Republican claims as “unfounded” with no proof.

    Efforts to restrict access to the ballot box have been passed or advanced in GOP-led states nationwide in the wake of the November vote.

    Nobody’s trying to “restrict” anything, aside from the ability of people to cheat.

    Danny Hayes, professor of political science and co-director of the GW Politics Poll, said in a statement, “Most of the state and local officials who run our elections are long-time public servants whose goal is simply to help our democracy operate smoothly.”

    Really? Has he spoken to most of these people? How does he know what their “goal” is?

    The old time election officials. Post Chicago corruption and pre 2020 new that electronic voting system were unsafe and untested. Most of them are pushed out by new elections. The new people don’t have a conception that electronic voting can be unsafe. Any county with a budget for dominion software and hardware is a fail.

    There are definitely wards dedicated to it to maintain separation from other patients. It would make sense that they be whole floors, would make isolation easier.

    More telling is that they are flat out lying about ICU’s and hospitals being full — somebody posted the stats and showed that they are running at 67% capacity roughly.

    Here we go again:

    Web designer who refused to create gay couples’ websites denied appeal

    A Colorado web designer has lost her challenge to Colorado’s anti-discrimination law in a suit she filed against the state because she didn’t want to design wedding websites for gay couples.

    The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver on Monday rejected the appeal from business owner Lorie Smith of 303 Creative, according to court documents. Smith filed a pre-enforcement challenge to Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA), which restricts a business from refusing to provide services based on a customer’s identity, in preparation to expand her business services to include wedding websites.

    Smith argued that while she has clients of all gender identities, it’s against her religion to promote same-sex marriage, and therefore doesn’t want to be forced to make them for gay couples, court documents state.

    “I will not be able to create websites for same-sex marriages or any other marriage that is not between one man and one woman,” Smith said, according to the documents. “Doing that would compromise my Christian witness and tell a story about marriage that contradicts God’s true story of marriage.”

    A judge’s ruling said that Smith’s arguments do not supersede Colorado’s anti-discrimination law, CNN notes.

    “There is no indication that Colorado will enforce CADA differently against graphic designers than bakeries,” the ruling read, referencing the case of Jack Phillips, a Colorado baker who refused to create cakes for same-sex weddings.

    Phillips appealed after being told by Colorado’s Civil Rights Commission that he had to adhere to CADA, regardless of his religious views. The Supreme Court ultimately found in a 2018 decision that the state’s enforcement of CADA was a violation of Philips’s First Amendment rights.

    In June, Philips was fined $500 for denying an order for a gender-transition cake on the grounds that he violated CADA.

    DOJ wants Hale to plead guilty to felony count of obstruction. “If we do set a trial date, the government cannot meet discovery obligations until early 2022.” That’s a conservative estimate, she says. Slow-walking discovery to force defendants into plea deals. “We need time.”

These are not ‘breakthru’ cases, the vaxes (which are not vaxes) are causing the virus to mutate to survive them.

    New ‘Oregon Trail’ Game Has You Try To Survive A Trip Through Portland

    The latest retro-styled reboot of Oregon Trail will have you try to survive as you trek through a dangerous land filled with hazards and hostile natives: not the American West, but rather, modern-day Portland, Oregon.

    “Load up yer wagons and see if ya can make it through this deadly wasteland!” says the voiceover guy in the first trailer for the game, posted on social media Wednesday. “But watch out! You’ll face angry, primitive natives, like Antifa and Black Lives Matter!”

    The game has players load up their station wagons with supplies like avocado toast, vape pens, craft beers, and other Portland staples, and try to drive a few miles across town without getting mobbed by a group of protesters. Clever players will choose to outfit their wagons with Bernie stickers and Coexist decals to try to ward off the natives. To feed their caravan of travelers, players will have to make daring stops at communist-owned coffee shops and risk going to taco stands in extra-deadly autonomous zones.

    You can even play minigames where you befriend the locals and help them tip over some statues.

    One “rookie mistake” is to dress your character in a MAGA hat, since that’s an “almost certain” way to die of peaceful protests, according to the game’s developers.

    You can, of course, still die of dysentery.

    Massive spike in reported increase of COVID-19 deaths was skewed by old data

    A massive 300 percent hike in nationwide COVID-19 deaths recorded Friday by Johns Hopkins University was skewed by states dumping data – that in one case dated back as far as last spring, according to a report.

    The university, which has been a trusted source of coronavirus information since the start of the pandemic, reported that US deaths surged from 321 on Thursday to 891 on Friday, as the Delta variant quickly spreads throughout much of the country.

    Florida was responsible for a huge chunk of the increase, with 409 of Friday’s death toll coming from that state, according to The Daily Mail. However, Florida only releases weekly data on Friday, making the day-to-day totals reported by the university unclear and overblown, the outlet said.

    Figures released by Delaware also added to the surging daily increase, as that state announced 130 new deaths Friday, the tabloid reported. The dramatic figure was misleading because those deaths actually occurred between mid-May 2020 and late last month, and were added after The First State reviewed death certificates, according to the article.

    Data from Michigan, which only releases statistics biweekly, also reportedly added to the distorted total.

    The true day-to-day increase of nationwide COVID-19 deaths was actually only 2.5 percent, according to the outlet.

    In the mid-70s, we got our first black president.
    […]
    We learned that we were failing our black students—that their disproportionately low grades and dropout rates were our fault.
    […]
    Many students lacked even middle-school reading competence. Many could not write a complete sentence. Some skipped classes and failed to turn in assignments—or just dropped out. But the college mission was to educate everyone. We were an “open door” institution, with a high school diploma or GED sufficient for admission. We were here to give students the chance none in their families had ever had before, and we believed in our mission. Toward the end of the meeting I raised my hand and asked how, given reading and preparation levels, we could possibly increase grades and graduation rates without lowering standards. “What do you teach?” he asked. “English,” I offered. “You don’t teach English,” he corrected me. “You teach White Studies.

    I got exactly squat done today. I had to change our address w/our insurance company over the phone instead of online because we changed states.

    On hold for TWO HOURS.

    Yesterday they had computer problems so told everybody to call back today. Everybody did.

    Then the TV started acting up. On hold for THAT for an hour and Fox news still doesn’t come in.

    I finally got to do my COSTCO recon – one hour before they closed. Figured out some things, got a couple bargains (rotisserie chicken is the best I’ve ever seen and $2 less than I’ve ever paid, grapes half the price, toothpaste saved $5, etc. When I need papertowels, the difference will be 8 dollars.) but needed more time

    NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: Those Virus Sequences That Were Suddenly Deleted? They’re Back: Chinese researchers have uploaded genetic sequences of coronaviruses to a scientific database more than a year after they took them offline. “On July 21, the disappearance of the sequences was brought up during a news conference in Beijing, where Chinese officials rejected claims that the pandemic started as a lab leak.”

    Plus: “Dr. Bloom could not offer an explanation for the conflicting accounts, either. ‘I’m not in a position to adjudicate among them,’ he said in an interview.”

    Are the new sequences the same as the ones that were there before?

    Masks will be mandated to be worn at all times, including outdoors, and people will be restricted to within five kilometres (3.1 miles) of their home.

    Police will also be able to shut down businesses that repeatedly breach public health orders.

    Fuller said that “nothing is off the table” in terms of stronger compliance, saying officers will be going door to door looking for people in the wrong house.

I walked over, told them to help themselves to the food and beer and to let me know if they needed anything. Leaning back in banger stance, they gave a nod.

    A Honey Badger in a South African wildlife center escaped his enclosure twice to fight the lions in the exhibit beside his, built towers out of rocks and sticks to climb over his wall, and when introduced with a mate, stood on her head to unlock the gate and get out once again.

    NZ Trans athlete Hubard totally failed at the Olympics. He/ She / It failed at the ””’ Snatch … which is kinda funny. He / She / It couldn’t complete a ……Snatch….. and because He/ She / It didn’t have a Snatch to His / Her/ It’s name ….was eliminated from the competition.

    Hopefully this will give the ‘ trying to be ‘woke’ Olympic Committee’ the time to revisit the whole Trans argument, and maybe some rational soul will now rescue Women’s Sport from the PC Marxist wreckers.

    *IT CAN COUNT: As long as there are no more than 5 in a room you are safe, any more than that though and it will kill you.
    *IT KNOWS WHAT BUILDINGS IT IS IN: If you’re in a Stadium or Bunnings you’re ok, but if you are at a Restaurant or in Aged Care it will kill you.
    “IT KNOWS IF YOU ARE EATING: If you are eating you can take your mask off in a restaurant, but if you are not eating you had better put your mask on because it will kill you.
    *IT KNOWS WHETHER YOU ARE STANDING OR SITTING IN A PUB/CLUB: If you are sitting and drinking you will be ok, but if you stand up and drink it will kill you.
    *IT KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TALKING AND SINGING: If you talk you will be ok, but if you sing it will kill you.
    *IT KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INSTRUMENTS: If you play drums you will be safe, but if you play a flute it will kill you.
    * IT KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHURCH AND PROTESTS: If you protest you will be ok, but if you go to Church it will kill you.
    *IT KNOWS IF YOU ARE AN ESSENTIAL WORKER OR NOT: If you’re an Essential Worker you can go to work and be safe even though you deal with multiple people everyday, but if you are not an Essential Worker, say an Office Worker, and you work inside with the same people every day, you had better work from home or it will kill you.

    The UK has ordered ships to exercise extreme caution in Persian Gulf waters off UAE’s coast as an unknown incident is unfolding, though few details have initially been given.

    A non-piracy incident is currently underway east of Fujairah, with “investigations ongoing,” an urgent alert from the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) indicates. “The warning notice, based on a third party source, advised vessels in the area to exercise extreme caution,” Reuters writes of the developing notification.

    Four Ships Off UAE Report Loss of Control; U.K. Sources Suspect Hijacking of Vessel by Iranian Forces

    The British navy warned Tuesday of a “potential hijack” of a ship off the coast of the United Arab Emirates in the Gulf of Oman, without elaborating.

    At least four ships off the coast of the United Arab Emirates broadcasted warnings Tuesday that they had lost control of their steering.

    It wasn’t immediately clear what was happening off the coast of Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman, but British sources believe one of the vessels, the Asphalt Princess, has been hijacked and are “working on the assumption Iranian military or proxies boarded the vessel”, the Times newspaper reported on Tuesday.

    One of the distant exes got a Borderline Personality Disorder prognosis. It was a stressful angry time even though she had a good heart. A person needs to be well grounded spirituality to manage that. I wasn’t. Not sure how she gets balanced without medications. She was on meds but they made her addicted which worsened the condition 100 fold imo. And when she didn’t behave properly the doctor cut her off cold turkey. She was forced to seek street drugs. A big downward spiral.

    She only did very well when she was in a long term inpatient community with people of similar situations.

    Moral of that story is that it takes a minimum of 2 years inpatient treatment to get one foot out of the street drugs. Cost of that is about $500,000. Just to get back to square one.

    The devastating COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 will soon exceed 100 million global cases and 2 million deaths. We must recognize how the virus had considerable help launching a broadside attack on our global health. An anti-science disinformation campaign of unprecedented magnitude and led by both multinational corporations and some governments, especially the Russian and US Governments, fuels the pandemic. It represents a legacy going back to Russia since the Great Purge of the 1930s to 1940s [38], unraveling great accomplishments in biomedicine that include Russia’s only 2 Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine awarded during the first decade of the 1900s [39]. There is now urgency to develop an array of COVID-19 vaccines and other biomedical interventions. But ultimately, solutions through biomedicine won’t be sufficient to halt the spread of COVID-19. We must simultaneously dismantle anti-science.

    Globally, through the 2020 United Nations (UN) General Assembly, WHO and other UN agencies launched plans to fight a growing “infodemic” through the dissemination of accurate and evidence-based scientific information, and actively countering the disinformation empire “while respecting freedom of expression” [32]. However, details of such efforts and the extent to which UN agencies are willing to carry this fight remain unknown. Other international bodies might offer assistance including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO’s) Science for Peace and Security Programme [33].

    It remains unclear whether the UN agencies or NATO are resourced adequately to implement an effective counterpunch against anti-science disinformation. For example, fully combating anti-science may require far-reaching measures that include taking on larger and better-resourced organizations. Ironically, they include tech giants as ubiquitous sources of anti-science disinformation, especially in regards to vaccines [34]. Even large communications conglomerates, such as News Corp and its sister organization, have come under fire for promoting White House COVID-19 disinformation during the 2020 US Presidential campaign [35,36]. James Murdoch, who resigned from the board of News Corp over editorial differences, criticized such actions [35]:

According to the IHME COVID-19 forecasting team, 95% public mask use would save almost 130,000 lives from September 22, 2020, through February 28, 2021 [1]. Thus, anti-science disinformation that advocates shunning masks could inflict a mass casualty event in the US. Its occurrence should not surprise us.

    How can they cite a “forecast” of something that never happened, while at the same time criticizing others for not having “evidence” to back up claims?

    …and if you find that you do have cataracts have them removed when they reach level 3 on a 5Level scale. The brand new technology suggests that you replace your natural lenses with the new Trifocal soft plastic lenses. They are miraculous and give you back the eyes of a 20 year old. After about 3-4 years you’ll need to go back and have the capsules (the bits that your old natural lenses sat in) as the capsules thicken over time. Just get the YAG Green LASER treatment. 3 minutes per eye, no pain and the capsule is blatted. Just had it done yesterday and the difference is as dramatic as when I first had my cataracts done. That WOW! everything is so sharp and colourful all of a sudden!

    Even in the event that the CDC had the authority to establish a “moratorium” on evictions, it seems to me that a “taking” of private property occurs (by the government forcing a landlord to provide free rent to tenants).

    I did not know this. I just assumed he has a Ph.D. is something or other

    but the key figure in the Junta is Dr. Anthony Fauci.

    Biden’s chief medical advisor contends that to criticize him is to attack science itself, in effect, “La science c’est moi,” in the style of Louis XIV. Fauci earned a medical degree in 1966 and in 1968 took a cushy “yellow beret” job with the National Institutes of Health to avoid treating American soldiers in U.S. military hospitals. Fauci’s bio shows no advanced degrees in molecular biology or biochemistry.

    Back in the 1990s, Kary Mullis, PhD in biochemistry from UC Berkeley and winner of the Nobel prize for the polymerase chain reaction, contended that Fauci “doesn’t understand electron microscopy and he doesn’t understand medicine. He should not be in a position like he’s in.” Fauci was wrong about AIDS but remained as the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

    This is a very good piece. I just bought the book

    it. In 1821, the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel introduced the world to collectivism, defining the worth of the individual not based on his or her own merit but on his or her contribution to a “collective good,” a good Hegelians believed best established by highly-educated experts given license to command the state and compel public allegiance to their dictates.

    To the delight of slavery’s apologists, Hegel defended slavery as inevitable and helpful in the evolution of “superior races.” Hegel was a racist (as was his student Karl Marx), believing Europeans superior and Africans inferior. Hegel defended slavery as inevitable and beneficial because he argued through it superior Europeans could advance faster than without it. He did not think slavery inhumane; to the contrary, he argued it enabled an inferior race to associate with a superior one, helping advance the former. Slavery’s apologists cleaved to Hegel’s doctrine and defended slavery as a socialist ideal (cradle to grave care for an inferior race), and vastly superior to northern capitalism. Southern academic George Fitzhugh described domestic slavery as “the oldest, best, and most common form of socialism” and as “the beau ideal of communism.”

    Amid intensifying drought, state water regulators voted Tuesday to enact a drastic emergency order that will bar thousands of Californians — primarily farmers — from using stream and river water.
    .
    .
    While the move has been protested by some farmers, irrigation districts and others, California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross called the decision “a necessary step,” saying the fact that senior water rights holders were included “speaks to the severity of the hydrology and what climate change has presented this year.”</i?

    Rice?

    How is that profitable?

    I lived in Iowa and there they grow corn and soybeans to feed piggies and turkeys and chickens then export the meat to the rest of the USA.

    The shit that the piggies and turkeys and chickens shit is then spread on the land that the corn and beans grow on. A kind of closed cycle.

    273 | August 4, 2021 4:19 pm

    @ Possum:
    Oh and to clarify the closed cycle thingy. Meat leaves Iowa. Meat is protein and fat. Nitrogen is a major component of protein and oddly enough there are bacteria that live in the roots of legumes ( beans, peas and some grasses ) which extract nitrogen from the atmosphere.

    Fat. well that is a squishy substance that contains a lot of carbon. Plants eat carbon Dioxide and turn it into piggie and turkey and chicken food that those hard working animals turn into fat.

    So, although Iowa is a net exporter of fat and proteins the raw materials to do this come from the atmosphere ( and the sun… )

    Yes I saw that.

    There are major differences how pigs are born and raised for the first 3-4 weeks in the USA and other third world countries as against the civilised countries.

    What the sows are subjected to in the USA is inhumane. Yep I seen it.

    After four weeks of age then a happy piggy eats well and puts on weight. Same as a happy chicken or a happy turkey. Stress on animals and cruelty REDUCES weight gain and, well reduces profit.

    The USA needs to get into the 21st century with respect to how pigs are born.

    @ eaglesoars:
    I know if a HUD supported property run by a large real estate company in CA that went with evictions anyway. None of the evictees complained.

    I would have went under quick when i was a landlord if the tenants didn’t pay rent and the county still wanted property taxes, the city still wanted gas and electric paid, and the insurance company wanted their premiums. Bankruptcy 101.

    A landlord can’t just evict anyway. Its against the law most everywhere. You have to serve notice, get a court date, and see a judge. If and if the judge rules for you then the sheriff has to post an evication notice and be present on the day of the final eviction. Takes months and $1,000’s of dollars, Then most likely you have a vacant unit and would need to cut the rent to compete.

    The eviction is just not a landlords decision. The local government always approves it.

    The movie Pacific Heights is a pretty good example of what NOT to do when trying to evict a tenant.

    I rented to a cook from Florida one time with no references. Seemed like a nice guy. Had a good job. First night in he went on a vodka bender at the local gay night club. Brought home 4 buddies and partied all night. Next day all the neighbors reported thefts to me and he was still boozed up.

    I evicted him on the spot. Told him I’d give him $200 and a bottle of vodka to hit the road. Went to the ATM then the liquor store and he was gone an hour later.

    If I had a non paying tenant today I’d find a way to give them $2,000 to move. If they needed money they would move, if not I’d talk to them about credit reports. The secret was to buy and rent 2 bedroom apartments. At that price range most tenants wanted stability.

Fauci earned a medical degree in 1966 and in 1968 took a cushy “yellow beret” job with the National Institutes of Health to avoid treating American soldiers in U.S. military hospitals. Fauci’s bio shows no advanced degrees in molecular biology or biochemistry.

    Back in the 1990s, Kary Mullis, PhD in biochemistry from UC Berkeley and winner of the Nobel prize for the polymerase chain reaction, contended that Fauci “doesn’t understand electron microscopy and he doesn’t understand medicine. He should not be in a position like he’s in.” Fauci was wrong about AIDS but remained as the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

    Depends on what you have done., and whether you have medical insurance.
    In NZ you can wait for up to 3 years to get surgery for cataracts for about US$2500 per eye including replacement lenses, or if you have insurance it costs nothing. The new trifocal lenses that have just arrived cost a bit more and add a $1000 to the final bill per eye. If you have insurance they will charge you the differential between the mono-vision ‘blended’ lenses and the new high tech ones. The 3-5 year return to have the thickened capsule that the new lenses was sitting in costs about $200 per eye or it too is covered by insurance.

    If you are NOT relaxing a cataract lenses and just adding a corrective lenses it’s considered an optional procedure and is not covered by insurance. The mono vision ‘blended option costs about $2000 per eye or about $3000 for the new trifocal (close intermediate and long vision0 technology depending on where you are having the treatment.

    ALL of these treatments are totally pain free.

    Alternatively you if it’s just the shape of your eye’s cornea then you can just use the COP Lazik (LASER)correction that costs from $1000 -$2000 per eye depending on where you live. This LASER just reshapes your cornea to give you perfect vision however if you’re an older dude you may still have to use reading glasses depending on the strength of your ciliary muscles in your eye to vary your lenses shape between near and far vision.

    Barn raised are marginally better as conditions go but not much more as they are still fed loads of artificial enzymes and antibiotics to prevent them from developing disease due to overcrowding. You pay for what you eat, as with most things these days.

    In her statement, the whistleblower said: “On July 9, 2021, there were 9,048 deaths reported in VAERS. I verified these numbers by collating all of the data from VAERS myself, not relying on a third party to report them. In tandem, I queried data from [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Systems] medical claims with regard to vaccines and patients deaths.”

    Based on her analysis of the data she gathered, the whistleblower said that the true number of vaccine-related deaths as of July 9 is close to 45,000. This total is considerably higher than what was reported in VAERS.

    “Put in perspective, the swine flu vaccine was taken off the market which only resulted in 53 deaths,” she noted.

    Dr. Peter Hotez, a professor of pediatrics and molecular virology at Baylor College of Medicine, is arguing that federal hate-crime protections may need to be extended to Dr. Anthony Fauci and other scientists “targeted by far-right extremism.”

    According to documents obtained as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted nearly $3 million in federal funds to the University of Pittsburgh with the goal of becoming a “tissue hub” for the harvesting of tissue and organs of full-term aborted fetuses. It even included a racial target for obtaining the body parts of minority fetuses.

    Watchdog Report: Fauci Spent Nearly Half A Million In Taxpayer Dollars On Abusive Experiments On Dogs

    “According to documents that we just obtained using the Freedom of Information Act, Fauci just spent $424,000 to commission a study in which healthy beagles are given an experimental drug and then intentionally infested with flies that carry a disease-causing parasite that affects humans,” White Coat Waste Project wrote.

    The documents further revealed that the experiments were not necessary because scientists had already performed similar tests on various other animals.

    “Experimenters admit this investigational drug, ‘has been extensively tested and confirmed … in different animal models such as mice … Mongolian gerbils … and rhesus macaques,’” the group found.

    Records obtained by the FOIA request show the dogs “vocalized pain” during the experiments.

    BREAKING: the University of Pittsburgh ADMITTED to news media today that “ischemia”—the loss of blood supply—does not happen until AFTER they cut the kidneys out of an aborted baby.

    The fetuses are delivered alive. This is either partial-birth abortion, or infanticide.
