Now that I think of it, It may have been crickets.  Yep, on the menu, and I'm lucky I didn't have a Pinocchio issue. Like I said, actually tasty, yet I don't feel the need to repeat the experience. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/watch-out-for-th e-hot-flushes-a-few-billion-years-away-earth-enter s-its-midlife-crisis-8690170.html Researchers used a computer model to assess our planet's fate billions of years from now, finding that as the Sun becomes hotter and brighter, only microbes would be able cope with the extreme conditions. Duh. And if you go back a ways, it would be too hot for humans because it's still molten! Obviously written for the folk that never paid attention in science class or watch Discovery Channel........ Life on this planet, in the thin film of atmosphere that protects us from instant death, is fragile as all get out. We are only happy in a real narrow range of conditions. Those conditions change. Always have, always will. ( there will, of course be long periods of calm weather. It won't be survivable, but it will be even for long periods of time ) | ||

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/07/06/canadian-tra gedy/#more-89452 .......First, energy is synonymous with development. Our civilization requires huge amounts of it. Without the ability to extract, move, and store immense amounts of energy, we’re literally back to the Bronze Age, where wood melted the bronze and cooked the food. I’ve tried living at that level, it’s not my idea of a good party. Plus, if everyone burns wood for energy the world will look like Haiti … so we’ll take the need for some kind of storable energy as a given. Next, stored energy is inherently dangerous. If you accidentally drop a wrench across the terminals of a car battery, it could cost you your life … and that’s just a car battery, not a railroad tank car full of crude oil. If stored energy gets loose, it is immensely dangerous. The materials in which the energy is stored are also often, as in this case, a danger to the environment. If you think electricity solves the problem, crack open a car battery and consider the toxicity of the chemicals and heavy metals involved. Finally, there are more dangerous and less dangerous ways to transport energy. Arguably the least dangerous way to transport energy is in the form of electricity. We move unimaginably large amounts of energy around the world with only occasional injuries and fatalities. Don’t get me wrong, a 440,000 volt power line is not inherently safe. But we are able to locate our electric wires in such a way that we don’t intrude into their space, and vice versa. But that’s just moving electrons. If you have to move the molecules, the actual substance itself, things get more hazardous. In terms of danger, railroads aren’t the most dangerous. That’d be the fuel trucks carrying gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and propane on the highways. Plus of course the stored energy in the fuel tanks of the cars and trucks involved in every crash. If you consider an electric power line transporting energy running alongside a freeway, with each vehicle transporting stored energy in the form of liquid fuel, and how often lives are lost or damage done from the power lines, versus how much damage the stored energy does when a tanker truck crashes and catches fire on the freeway, you’ll get a sense of what I’m talking about. I’d put railroads as the second most dangerous way to move energy. This for a couple reasons. One is because people built along the railroad tracks, and cities grew up around the rail hubs. This means you’re moving things like crude oil and gasoline, each of which stores huge amounts of what was originally solar energy, through highly populated areas. Another is that a railroad tank car stores a huge amount of energy. A tank full of crude oil hold about 820 barrels of oil, which conveniently has about the same energy as a thousand tons of TNT. Of course, normally this energy is released slowly, over time. Even if the tank ruptures and the fuel pours out, the release of energy occurs over tens of minutes. However, the fuel is contained in enclosed tanks. As in this case, if fire is raging around an intact tank car, it heats the tank until the contents start boiling. Depending on the fuel involved, if the vapor pressure of the contents is high enough, the tank can rupture in what is called a BLEVE. That stands for “Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion”, and it was the cause of death in boiler explosions in old-time Mississippi steamships. When a boiling liquid under pressure suddenly experiences an instantaneous pressure drop, the entire body of the liquid can directly flash into vapor. With a steam engine the liquid is water, and the resulting steam from an exploding boiler was incredibly lethal and destructive. Now, consider a BLEVE of a flammable liquid … instead of making an expanding ball of steam, you get an expanding ball of fire. At that point, the “kilotonnes of TNT” is no longer a metaphor. ............ Which brings me to the final thought brought up by the Canadian train derailment. There is a proposed expansion of the KeystoneXL Pipeline, to handle an increased amount of heavy crude from Alberta. Opponents of the expansion think that stopping the pipeline expansion will somehow stop the flow of Canadian heavy crude into the US. This is not true for two reasons. First, the existing Keystone pipeline is already bringing Alberta heavy crude into the US. The expansion will just, well, expand that amount. More to the point, however, is the fact that large amounts of Alberta heavy crude is also being moved into the US by railroad. And not by just any railroad. It’s mostly coming in on the Burlington Northern Railway. And by what can only be considered an amazing coincidence, the Burlington Northern Railway is owned by a major Obama donor. And by an even more amazing coincidence, the major donor bought the BNR just three years ago. And this was not just any major Obama donor, but Mr. Warren Buffett, a key money supplier for the Obama re-election effort … Now of course, the longer that Mr. Obama can delay approving the Keystone Pipeline, the longer the oil will be moved by Mr. Buffet’s railroad. I’m sure you can predict what Mr. Buffet wanted for his investment in the Obama campaign, those guys don’t pitch in the big bucks without wanting something … And very likely Buffett learned early on, during Obama’s first administration, that Obama would block the pipeline, which is probably why he bought it. Buffett is many things but he’s no fool. Will we ever be able to prove that chain of events? Don’t be naive, Buffett is immensely wealthy for a reason. He doesn’t leave tracks, he doesn’t show his cards, he plays everything close to the vest. We won’t find any smoking guns on this one. I find it quite amazing. In the late 1800s, the railroads were major players in the political scene, and no one made an important decision without first kissing the rings of the railroad barons. And now, more than a hundred years later, we still have a President kissing the ring of a railroad baron before making his decision. So … don’t expect any quick resolution by President Obama of the Keystone Pipeline issue. Every day it is delayed, hundreds of thousands of dollars flow into Warren Buffet’s pockets. And US politics continues to fashion in the old, time-tested way … money talks. And even in this modern time of emails and smartphones, I’m glad to know some of the most valuable hoary, ancient US political traditions have been kept alive. And when I say valuable traditions … I mean very, very valuable. These days, being a friend of Obama is worth big bucks. Finally, we see that the claims by the opponents of the pipeline that they are trying to “protect the environment” are simply not true. If they were really concerned about the environment, they’d want the KeystoneXL pipeline expansion. It is much more dangerous to the environment to move the Alberta heavy crude by railroad tank car than by pipeline … and the tragedy in Canada is an excellent example of why. | ||

http://www.jerrypournelle.com/chaosmanor/?p=14634 "Okay, here’s the bombshell. The volcanic eruption in Iceland . Since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet – all of you. Of course, you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress – it’s that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans and all animal life. I know….it’s very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kids "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cent light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs…..well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just four days. The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere in just four days – yes, FOUR DAYS – by that volcano in Iceland has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud at any one time – EVERY DAY. I don’t really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in all its years on earth. Yes, folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over One year – think about it. Of course, I shouldn’t spoil this ‘touchy-feely tree-hugging’ moment and mention the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keeps happening despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change. And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud, but the fact of the matter is that the bush fire season across the western USA and Australia this year alone will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three years. And it happens every year. Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you, on the basis of the bogus ‘human-caused’ climate-change scenario. Hey, isn’t it interesting how they don’t mention ‘Global Warming’ Anymore, but just ‘Climate Change’ – you know why? It’s because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century and these global warming bull artists got caught with their pants down. And, just keep in mind that you might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme – that whopping new tax – imposed on you that will achieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer. It won’t stop any volcanoes from erupting, that’s for sure. But, hey, relax……give the world a hug and have a nice day!" | ||

From Jerry Pournelle's site. ( the original blog ) "IVF baby born using revolutionary genetic-screening process" Jerry They finally beginning to catch up with Robert Heinlein. In Beyond This Horizon, he posited pre-conception genetic screening, with parents selecting potential germ cells (and hence, embryos) based not only on freedom from disease, but possession of desirable qualities. Well, now we have this – an IVF baby born using a genetic-screening process: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2013/jul/07/ivf- baby-born-genetic-screening Robert publish BTH in 1940. I’d say he was way ahead of his time. Ed This is tremendously good news for a lot of people if the technology continues to improve. It's also a moral & ethical problem. Who wouldn't want their kids to be as free from flaw as possible. Wouldn't it be great if your Daughter didn't have your genetic flaw? ( astigmatism, bad teeth, heart issues, arthritis, epilepsy etc. ) It's possible that in just a few years, you will be able to screen for such problems, evolution will be redeemed, and your children will be healthier and happier than you are. But. Wouldn't it also be "nice" to pick the most athletic body ( of your available gene choices ) for your Son? The biggest breasts for the Daughter? ( her own reality show? ) Biggest wang for him? Smallest waist for her? Choose hair & eye color, maybe temperament & IQ? Not talking genetic engineering, just cherry picking the available cells. Some people have thought about this subject for a while. ( Huxley, for example. ) | ||

It's going to be at least a decade before mass genetic engineering of humans. The ethical problems will slow the US, but perhaps not China or Qatar. As of today, we don't know which genes give you intelligence, thick neck, whatever, and there are some indications that designing for IQ can cause emotional side effects. Is a 9" wang worth diabetes? ( not that there is a known connection, but we don't know that today, but will in a century ) We have a ways to go before Kahn of Star Trek fame and his brother supermen can be "built", but we already know that people brought up believing that they are superior are going to have issues obeying lesser mortals. After all, If I'm smarter than you, shouldn't I be in charge? And I won't just believe that because some megalomaniac has told me, I'll have the data on just how much better I am than a free-birth common guy. It's a variant on the Frankenstein story, and someday it will be real. But not that soon. The first gene engineering effects are already with us, as products like golden rice and disease resistant crops are becoming common. Golden rice alone can save millions of lives, ( rice modded to have a more complete vitamin content ) and some countries are already banning gene mod food. To be fair, we still haven't proven the harm from high fructose corn syrup as a predominant food group, and it is going to take time to tell if certain crops are harmful long term. It's far more likely that a genetic lab will make a super flu than a Kahn. We're just as dead with a cerebral hemorrhage as with an orbital kinetic strike. But the news above isn't Frankenstein monsters created in a lab, it is the first practical application of in vitro selection for certain characteristics. The example above is pretty easy, a simple gene count, without too invasive and destructive testing. It let a family have a much better shot at a healthy child. I don't see an issue with it, and my heart is calm in the face of this change. But when and if they can look at a sperm and egg cell and map the gene structure, ( without destroying it ) THEN you can pick and choose. They won't be able to promise an Olympic winner, since you and your mate may just not have the genes to make one, but you will, someday, be able to CHOOSE to have the best that Blake & SO can produce. Would you willingly have a child with bad teeth? ( I don't know your family, what genetic time bombs you have ) Would you knowingly accept a child with crippling genetic disease? Are you willing to NOT have yourself tested and child chosen, and risk something horrible? Or wonderful? At some point, NOT getting your children "designed" may (will?) be criminal, but before that doing so may doom them to second class status, unable to get the best jobs, hold public office, ( why allow a "random" to serve when the "chosen" are so much better? ) Get married....... yes, those are dystopian visions. Ever see Gattaca? Brave New World? It's not going to happen quite that way, it never does. I'm not worried about supersoldiers. They will cost too much and take too much time. I'm not really worried about genetic slavery, or geneism, or whatever they are going to call it. I won't be around to see it. I do think the questions should be asked. I do think that rules for things like clones grown for spare parts must be addressed, before Warren Buffet transplants his brain into a new body. ( "I Will Fear No Evil" R.A.Heinlein ) My suggestion is that clones be given full rights. Perhaps your clone should have the rights of an older sibling, so that his creation takes away your inheritance? Will you fear the new people who are chosen for health and athletics? Created genius sociopaths like in "Enders Game" by O.S.Card????? No not a next week thing. next week is the same as this week, the authoritarians misusing science to gain power over you, to tax you for the CO2 you breath, and denying you the use of your own property. There is already a huge movement to make reproduction controlled by the Government, like in China.

This seems to be the truth of the matter. Climate is what your model tells you to expect. Weather is what you get. Our models are not very good; they can’t take initial conditions for any year in the 20th Century and project the next 20 years, much less fifty. Patiently I explain again, we know that it has been colder during the Ice Ages, warmer in Roman times, much warmer in Viking times, and a lot colder from about 1400 to 1800, Then it warmed for a while. And now we just don’t know what it’s doing. Jerry Pournelle http://www.jerrypournelle.com/jerrypournelle.c/cha osmanor/ | ||

In 1979 we were just past a major climate change event, that was hailed on the covers of newsweek, etc. as "The Coming Ice Age!!" Due, of course, to CO2 from all those damn cars.

We didn't do that, and the planet warmed up anyway. The point is that taking a time period from a peak cold spell, ending in a peak warm spell, and comparing THAT to the 13 years since that have been near peak the entire time, is BOGUS.

http://www.merkle.com/pluto/pluto.html There are a lot of great planes that never made it into production. Some, like the Avro Arrow, were ahead of their time, and it's huge pity that we lost the jobs, and capability such a plane offered. Ditto the XF-108, the XF-107, and several others. In the case of the SLAM, we can count ourselves lucky that they never went onto large scale deployment, and we never actually used them in war. I admire the science, the dedication, and the technology that had to be created to make such an aircraft possible, but am just as glad that something so deadly never was used. ( I also feel that way about the B-36 "Peacemaker" a plane that never fired a shot in anger, and so actually lived up to it's name ) The SLAM was so nasty in operation that it was joked that it's best use was flying over enemy territory until they surrendered. No real need for it's Thermonuclear payload. Imagine the Slam in action. The Blackbird flew at Mach 3 at very high altitude ( twice as high as where human blood boils from lack of pressure ) and operated at temperatures and speeds seldom encountered on this planet. Because of it's speed, passing through a 2 degree temperature difference over a few miles could cause high-g rises and falls in altitude, due to density changes. The SLAM, otoh, would do those speeds on the deck. So, as you sit on your porch, watching the chickens in the yard, the SLAM is actually past you before you can react. The shock wave will probably kill you directly, as your house, the barn, and most of the trees in it's path are smashed to kindling and scattered over hundreds of yards on either side of it's wake. The chickens will have the feathers ripped off, and be dead before the rapidly expanding blowtorch hot exhaust gases cook them in mid air. Then the blackened remains will fall among the swath of burning devastation as a line of exploding fire stretches from horizon to horizon..... Radioactive, exploding, line of fire from Horizon to Horizon. I'm glad we never built and used one. But it would have made a heck of a show. | ||
