unfortunately mr ryan, i think these things usually turn into more of a "believe in something especially if it means sacrificing your neighbor" kind of situation...
same with the eugenicists. there are too many people on the planet. why did they have children then? and why did they not take themselves out? I am sure lots of people would be quite happy to see some of them leave the planet.
Any SOB trying to run over dogs is far worse than the trombone player and that guy was really awful! Tone-deaf! Always played flat. EEEEEEEeeeek! But at least he didn't try to run over my cats. (They're indoor-only so probably safe.)
Or as they say in Finland, even a blind hen will eventually find a kernel. Have a good weekend, stay cool next week, you wascal (ah, the Dog Days!). A friend here in NorCal remembers 1976, when there were 44 STRAIGHT DAYS IN A ROW of triple digit temperatures. Must've been all those SUVs, huh?
Put. the. wrench. down. Just walk away, Ryan. Go sit in the pool (one with no alligators) with one of those adult beverages with the little umbrellas and bamboo straws.
I will be driving out (just 4 measly miles really) to check on my 98 year old daddy. Oh he is fine, but he craves the fun with a silly daughter. I will bring him some home made pizza.
But my line is drawn at walking across the parking lot to the fancy gym (he lives in a fabulous neighborhood for only rich people) and salt water pool. Tempting but UGHHHHH☀️☀️🔥🔥
What part of NorCal, Myriam? The coast? Yes, it's lovely there. I'm inland a bit, next to the Mendocino National Forest. It was 99 here today, our coolest predicted day for the next eight days or so. And I work outside. Oh well, I have misters in the trees. And cold beer at home to look forward to. And cold water. Much to be grateful for.
I think it was the eruption of Krakatau in the late 1800 that caused the sky to be so full of dust, that several months or even years it never got quite bright. Could that be a solution ?
Mmm, don't think I'm gonna pray for Old Faithful to blow. Not really. But They might like the idea, up there with bubbles in the sky. But though it's a hot summer we are heading towards a very cold winter. Climate change - it's been with us for millions of years!
You want hot, I'll give you hot. On June 17, 1859, a heat dome over the Santa Ynez Valley in California brought a simoon (hot killer wind such as is found in North Africa) out over the town of Santa Barbara (ave. temp in June is 72 degrees). In minutes, the temperature hit 133 degrees. People - and animals - rushed into water, into the sea to stay cool, but there was a lot of death. They thought it was the end of the world. https://archive.vcstar.com/news/special/outdoors/one-smokin-hot-day-155-years-ago-ep-476892259-351304001.html/
We moderns think we' re so enlightened, since we no longer blindly accept the prescriptions of priests in robes. But really the only difference is that the robes have turned into lab coats and the religion is called The Science. Bottom line: we still blindly accept whatever they tell us, and we still heap hatred and scorn upon those who question the priestly class.
I remember reading Crime and Punishment. At some point it is summer in Russia and the temperature is high. Probably a lot of classic books have info about the temperature back then.
Africans have done for centuries but Monkey Pox is fairly recent disease. Virologist Judy Mikovits thinks that the MP maybe a result of virus manipulation, e.g. a vaccine.
Carpe Diem, Comrades. Not long now, tic toc, Weeks? or Months? Remember when the timeline was Years?
Trump's AZ Rally Speech was less bombastic, more somber, and Thoughtful. References to USA becoming Soviet Union (USSA) and Venezuela, '39 Depression. Not fear porn but heartfelt, it communicated.
The World is in Revolt to the NWO Coup, and the NWO Tyrants are All Out consumating their conquests.
Conspiracy Theorist Alex Jones from 20 years ago become Prophetic Sooth Sayer. Events just had to unfold in plain sight to become Reality.
As yes reminders of the classic 1843 book (still in print) Incidents of Travel in Yucatan by Stevens. As he wandered the old great cities of the Maya. We have no idea how many other civilizations have managed their death by foolish policy from their wise rulers. At least they understood cisterns.
the huge wind mill cluster set for the gulf of mexico will be intermittent, high maintenance and less than available. where is the huge battery farm needed to make it a little bit useful???
all the green terrorists ideas are at a conceptual stage of technology development and their spec sheets are malarkey!
give up your 21st century life style for something like an 1770's life style
peak oil is 15 to 20 years away despite what the nuts in the brandon kindergarten spew.
btw, india, china and uae are building refineries.
and huge investment in petro energy supply in the mid east and elsewhere.
the reason usa inventory y on y is -20% distillate fuel oil and kerosene is we have to export crude we cannot refine in one location at import crude where we have. and not any excess capacity anywhere.
some of it is heavy vs light, most of it is the green terrorists have been anti usa refining for decades.
find and engineer in usa who has built a fracking tower!
last hint, by the time brandon is finished depleting the strategic petrol reserve it will have mostly high sulfur crude....
and all it did was moderate the depletion of commercial crude stocks!
us week by week is up or down as a net exporter which was net importer before brandon started to break up russia in february
No peak oil imo because "fossil fuel" is a lie, also my opinion. Earth is manufacturing oil constantly at very deep depths and it is squeezed to the near surfaces or surfaces (in the 1800's in PA.) not unlike magma.
Fossil or Abiotic the fact is conventional oil fields all over the World have been in serious decline, including the US which peaked ~1976. Shale oil which is Fossil oil has filled the gap, but those fields deplete rapidly. There possibly will be adequate total oil reserves for a while but they will shift to a few places like Venezuela, Russia and the Middle East. That spells trouble, as we are seeing right now with Russian oil, hegemony of resources.
Fortunately nuclear can replace all fossil easily and EVERY NATION on Earth has ample uranium & thorium resources under their feet to power their total energy needs for millions of years. No more energy hegemony. Poor Kissinger and gang who said "to control the energy supply is to control the nation". That's why the Malthusian gang of Davos Psychos despise Nuclear power with a passion. Nuclear = No Hegemonies = National Sovereignty.
Precisely. Same with water, the most plentiful liquid on the planet, with oil coming in at #2. JD Rockefeller paid to have “fossil” attached to “fuel” to imply scarcity, which would help his profits. Look for video from Fletcher Prouty, who has a first hand account.
Yes I liked that too! How else can you explain: "EV's are going to be so green (even tho we will be mining lithium and mining uses fossil fuels and is deeply destructive to the land/surrounding communities' aquifers)! Windfarms are so great (even tho they slaughter birds wily nilly)! Solar farms are so eco (even though made of materials that will not biodegrade ever, require toxic batteries that have limited lifespan)." The blindness hypocrisy is stunning, imo. It is not a realistic long-term plan.
But the self-rightsousness and readiness to relinquish personal freedoms, and eagerness to shame and censor those who do not go along, all have a recent precedent, unfortunately.
We fail to learn from history because we fail to understand it. Then we double-down as historians come up with a narrative to suit their ideological ambitions, and it gets repeated until it's undisputed absolute known truth to those of all ideological persuasions. "Undisputable known history" permanently lodged in our heads is probably the greatest impediment to a level of knowledge and understanding capable of preventing us from repeated the same tragic events in human history.
It might be impossible to understand how the world works if current observations must be reconciled with old institutional and perhaps gratifying historical narratives.
It most likely is some combination, different from person to person. People are maddeningly complicated. They can act on pure instinct or precision planning, then proceed to either blatantly lie and/or completely misdiagnose their own motives, thus confidently spew nonsense. As independent spirits, it's our role to figure it out, and we can also be a hot mess of blindness, ulterior motives, and foolishness.
I'm not sure how we should define intentional. We have some very strong subconscious instincts capable of prompting action. "Intentional" can be a carefully thought out plan with a clear and rational objective, or it can be a spontaneous, delirious act of desperation born of madness from sustained psychological distress. What we're witnessing appears to me as the latter.
the greenies say amazing things like "we have to go to zero fossil fuels immediately." which means that something like 70% of all the people living right now would have to die, not immediately, but soon thereafter of famine, thirst and exposure. so the question is, dear greenies, are you willing to be in that 70% or do you think that others should make the ultimate sacrifice on your behalf?
are you going to give up heat and AC, transportation and frozen foods? netflix and amazon prime? are you willing to live in huts, caves and teepees stitched together by hand with sinew using needles you've carved from a shark bone?
just how far back in time do they want to take civilization anyway? they're all complaining now about how the overturning of roe vs wade sets us back in the dark ages but then they seem to want us back in the dark ages, just selectively. i'm pretty sure that any modern woman is not going to have a surgical abortion without electricity, antibiotics, anesthesia and all that other good old white men stuff.
also, when the energy from fossil fuels goes bye-bye, women are going to have to be women again, as in gather, cook, put out and raise babies, and men are going to have to step up to the plate and be men, as in hunt, protect, rape and pillage, wage bloody combat and all those toxic male things
tell me coal fired power plants ultimately supply the juice to what number of electric plug in stations? what percent is it all just a feel good exercise? A good teepee by the river maybe....joke.
Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.
I put my whole heart into it!
unfortunately mr ryan, i think these things usually turn into more of a "believe in something especially if it means sacrificing your neighbor" kind of situation...
Hahaha. I tried to work in something about getting a variance on a hundred year old seawall in Hawaii.
Just not feeling that clever today...;]
same with the eugenicists. there are too many people on the planet. why did they have children then? and why did they not take themselves out? I am sure lots of people would be quite happy to see some of them leave the planet.
It’s always do as I say, not as I do for that set
Works for me! (I've had some pretty awful neighbors. The bad jazz trombonist upstairs was the worst though.)
NO!
Never hit a note he couldn't massacre.
I'll offer the one's who tried to run over my dogs...in my driveway!
Any SOB trying to run over dogs is far worse than the trombone player and that guy was really awful! Tone-deaf! Always played flat. EEEEEEEeeeek! But at least he didn't try to run over my cats. (They're indoor-only so probably safe.)

An A for Ryan for that!
Hi Keahi!

Good for detox! I’m in North California visiting my sister. It is delightful here!

In 1976 it would more likely have been AMC Gremlins. And everyone knows that Global Warming is caused by Gremlins.
That's funny. They looked like an old person's orthotic shoes.
Do you remember bumper stickers that went something like this?:
'Think globally, act locally, panic internally'
I wonder if these people ever had their first date? What a miserable way to live.
Yes, though not the "panic internally" part. More often than not it sat next to the compulsory "Imagine World Peace".
All about bumper stickers, curtesy of George Carlin:

Hey....that was my first car!!! (Loved that thing- except it fishtailed on black ice).
I solved that with my trusty old '75 Subaru wagon, a few bags of Quikrete in the back. Didn't always work but it helped a lot.
hubbs said we need more pollution to block out the sun.
"scientists" are so stupid.
The screaming hot days we have now are a great big DUHHH

excellent thought
1980 was so hot that people died.

2022: Climate change Denier, the science is settled, trust the science and the experts, carbon tax ...
1522: Heretic, the sun revolves around the Earth, trust the church and the king, tithe ...
Rinse, repeat.
Yes. All this gibberish is the equivalent of Latin.
I never accept anything blindly. My Drs have always hated me. They don't make any $ off of me.
more taxes will please the weather gods!
Hahaha. I like that one
I remember reading Crime and Punishment. At some point it is summer in Russia and the temperature is high. Probably a lot of classic books have info about the temperature back then.
Guess the administration thinks we can get stop global warming the same way they can stop
monkey pox....Eliminate Bananas??????
The next hypocritical dictate will be a law that you have to shove banana's up your tail pipe to stop CO2 emissions.
And then all vehicles come replete with windows that won't roll down.
Literally killing two birds with one stone.
You are that carbon Reptiloids want to reduce 😏
Someone had their Wheaties this morning!
just eliminate the ones 'eating' bananas.
har
I read that Monkey Pox is contracted from eating bush meat. Something they do in Africa.
Africans have done for centuries but Monkey Pox is fairly recent disease. Virologist Judy Mikovits thinks that the MP maybe a result of virus manipulation, e.g. a vaccine.
Elaine is joking!
that totally makes more sense
