Uh huh. I would like to ask proponents of the dark matter theory how many protons their theoretical atoms contain. Because I am pretty sure regular matter has that all locked up. | ||

Perhaps Dark Matter is just the ghosts of old matter that is no longer with us because of Proton Decay. | ||

https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2024/02/02/CDC-gas -station-heroin-synthetic-pot/4991706882554/ I'm looking at my coupons for eye vitamins as I peck this... Supplements are a gazillion dollars scam and some great stuff that people who eat lousy modern fast food could benefit from. And, sure, if you eat a carefully selected mix of traditional foods, you don't need any supplements to fill the gaps. But that's not really the diet of people in the past. There might be year round harvest of foods in the mountains of New Guinea by stone age tribes that murder all intruders, but in temperate climate like Europe food is harvested seasonally and only root vegetables and grains etc. could be stored to keep you alive until the earliest Summer crops. Quite a lot of celebrations and Holy Days are food based. Christmas was celebrated in secret by early Roman Christians under the Solstice celebration of other deities. And specifically around Dec. 25-ish, you can detect the lengthening day with a simple pointer and markings. Showing Winter wasn't forever and the days weren't going to get shorter until eternal darkness and cold turned Earth into a hell of starvation and death. ( a great reason to Party! ) All this changed with "canned food" , originally in Wine bottles in the Napoleonic era. And later freezer technology, which dates during the transition from sail to steam to ship food around the world. There's an infamous Sheep and livestock ship that went from Australia to Arabia that you didn't want to be down wind of. A quick Bing search for the name got different results. https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/live-sheep-ex ports-to-saudi-arabia-to-resume-after-12-years-202 31217-p5erzm https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/31/australia/australia -ship-sheep-cattle-red-sea-intl-hnk/index.html We'll see how Joe's* Wars work out. | ||

Diet advice. From a skinny dude with less body fat than my big toe, but generally good afaik and with little technobabble. I'm still learning from stupid experience and failures in weight loss. But I'm against proselytizing the fad diet that works for me. Because it probably won't work for you, people are different on multidimensional curves. I have One, solid, simple, weight control suggestion. Don't take the Family Sized bag of chips to the couch... or cookies, whatever, snack units. Pour a bowl ( whatever) of snack, put the big container away, then enjoy. Feel free to get seconds, if you're appetite demands, but make it a deliberate choice. Because there's multiple reasons you tend to chow the whole bag in one sitting. Distraction of tv watching switches you to autopilot eating. ( and you don't enjoy the salty, sweet, fatty goodness as much. ) And you hit "enough" before you get the electrochemical signal you're full. The current fad of using Diabetic drugs like Ozempic, to diet is using an interesting side effect. It SEEMS that it doesn't suppress appetite like some diet shakes do. ( partly, imho, because they taste so bad ) Instead, it might be accelerating the "full" signal? boosting it? Increasing sensitivity to? So tomorrow's diet pill might use some variation on appetite signal manipulation, and I'm intellectually pleased and also philosophically terrified by the implications.  I'm also curious how much the success of these Diabetes sugar control drugs in temporary weight loss is psychological, because the current fad is for injectable drugs, not pills or potions. The willingness to poke yourself ( I'm needle phobe-ish and a baby ) implies a deeper commitment to dieting. Also implies a willingness to follow the herd.  Enjoy speculations. But the evidence is it's a statistically significant success as short term weight loss aid. The long term effects actually worry me. Not just for myself and the thousands of others on these drugs for Diabetes, but the millions who are on them to lose weight. I speculate! That when you stop the drug that your appetite will return. And unless you've made "lifestyle" changes to eating habits, you get rebound weight gain like any diet fad. The huge number of people beta testing the drug off-label ( for other purposes than approved ) is a valuable test group & I speculate that most will quit the drug as the fad fades, and what happens when you stop, is important information. And a bigger gene pool to test side effects. Vs. The big jump in cost as the demand, and paperwork! has spiked. "Don't take TV Drug if you're allergic to TV Drug. Side effects include nausea, and spontaneous human combustion." | ||

New tech review by the #1 rap star. https://townhall.com/columnists/benshapiro/2024/02 /07/the-apple-vision-pro-future-n2634872 The good news is that with Augmented Unreality, you never need to see anything bad the Company doesn't want you to. San Francisco walks with the feces turned to roses and the tents grassy hobbit homes. The smiling Smurf city. You don't get mugged, you donate to the Unicorn pony patrol by automatic deposit. Or of course the mods! Everyone is an anime magical girl! A Doom mod that turns homeless into demons. Automatic boob size overlays. And when Apple cancels a feature, your world turns grey. Update to force a new model purchase and the projected world slows down. ( except it doesn't, and you hit walls ) | ||

Military tangent... Watched a video with 3 naval historians, ( 2 Brit, 1 Aussie ) discussing the future of naval warfare. I've watched over my lifetime as the missile tech got better, and the results of sales pitches got us dumb things like the original F4 Phantom 2 with no guns and missile only armament. Combine a not yet matured technology of air to air missiles, and Rules of Engagement that negate the long range capabilities by requiring visual identification of a target to reduce friendly fire ( oxymoron ) and you get your own side killed. Sums up Vietnam... Stealth and beyond visual range weapons are ruined/neutralized by requiring the pilot get close enough to read the writing on the enemy aircraft. And it's worse on ships. Anti missile missiles are amazingly good, today, but they still miss. So my opinion is that the U.S. Navy doesn't have enough guns. I'd want multiple Phalanx pods where modern ships have one per side. And basic game theory is a numbers game. If the enemy can shoot down 5 missiles a minute? Shoot 10 at them in 30 seconds, and you win. Skipping the problem of nukes, where you want to kill the incoming missile miles away, swamping defenses with multiple attacks in a short time is a win. I mean kill. The Soviets took a page from the Jeune Ecole, with small ships with big ship killer missiles, the modern version of a WW2 PT boat. Aka, Glass Cannons, or eggshells with sledge hammers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeune_%C3%89cole There turned out to be 2 fatal flaws in the French idea. First, it assumes the enemy ( the UK was the assumed enemy in the 19th century ) wouldn't adapt and copy the small cheap boats. Second, that technology would freeze. The torpedo boat could kill a battleship. Great force multiplier and bargain war! Then they put guns on torpedo boats to kill other torpedo boats, and then developed more capable "torpedo boat destroyers" big enough to sail with the fleet to protect the big ships, and while they were at it, might as well put on multiple torpedo launchers so they would be a threat to the Other Guy's big ships. The name then got shortened to just Destroyer. Over half a century later, modern Destroyers grew to carry more gear and missiles, and are WW2 Cruiser sized. and... The paradigm shift happens, again, with hypersonic missiles. Designed to defeat anti missiles and the short ranged Phalanx gun system. Deja vu. Ships built in the late 1920s -30s had token air defenses, but as experience with better, faster, aircraft was gained, more and better guns were installed. One Brit historian jokes the Americans wanted the whole crew to be able to practice their Second Amendment Rights, and by the end of WW2, American ships had literally as many anti aircraft guns as would fit the available deck space and not make the ship roll over from being too top heavy. So, how to defend against hypersonic missiles? A layered defense with missiles and short range radar guided "machine cannon" is already in use. But we lack a sustainable middle range weapon to counter the "more missiles at a time than we can launch counter missiles" problem. So... Flak is back. We need to build ships that can throw "cheap" unjammable explosive shells out in front of incoming missiles So they destroy themselves with their own velocity on hot shards of metal. And lots of them, in bigger calibers than 20mm. Volume, diameter, cube square laws! And... We also need guns to kill suicide speed boats, sea drones, and pirates... We need to develop the next generation of ships to fight the New weapons of today. Some are actually old ones ignored as obsolete. | ||

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1033375 8000 years ago, it seems the Antarctic ice had a major loss, melt, icebergs the size of small Eastern States or European countries slid into the ocean. Because Global Warming Cult controls scientific research funding, it is Obligatory to blame unknown warming and toss in a Doom Speculation/Prediction to get published and not career wrecked. So that's in the article. But we'll go with the actual theory that there was a big Antarctic dump 8000 years ago. That's probably solid. ( melting, but... ) The cause could be rising sea levels from land held ice in the Northern hemisphere ( Greenland, Siberia, etc. ) melting & calving to the sea. Rising sea level would lift the ice sheet off the rock it was grounded on which is far below sea level. ( still is in large areas ) Volcanic activity? Lots of chemical traces to look for, sulfur, chlorine, ash. Meteor strikes? How big a crater or craters hide under the ice today? Assume a multi megaton blast inside the ice sheet or above it, and there may be no detectable craters in the underlying rock, until we can develop high resolution images through miles of ice. Even then, the Big craters like in the Yucatan peninsula are found by the raised edges, on a giant scale not easily perceived. And sometimes there isn't a remaining crater, at all. Iceland was probably caused by a rock punching deep enough in the right spot to make a volcanic island. And here we run into the Unintended Consequences of Cult Capture of Science. Or maybe intended, it's hard to tell when the Cult is so dishonest and persecutes questioning. The Iceland strike is a possibility for a Dinosaur Killer event, it might not be the Yucatan. Or was Iceland the trigger for accelerated continental drift? Both? Unless alternative theories are accepted or explored, all you have is Dogma. Frozen Opinion imposed by force. ( The Wikipedia entry for Iceland geology says nothing about meteor strike theories ) And, it's possible that the impact theory is wrong. Unlike Dogma, which we KNOW is true after Manhattan & Holland flooded 25 years ago and Florida became an archipelago. | ||
