I grew up there, storm shelters are common. Root cellars separate from the house are dual purpose, though canned goods and preserves in jars are more normal than boxes of tubers in the 20th century on. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/04/mov e-over-dan-rather-theres-a-climate-crisis-to-save. php As with all Marxist cults, the inconvenience is the truth, and the Revolution is the by any means necessary "higher" aka Satanic, "truthiness". | ||

https://m.youtube.com/@Campbellteaching Probably the best source for international health analysis. Can be a bit dry. Brit. And a lot is going over, line by line, CDC & the Brit Health Care official releases, because that's less likely to get him censored or arrested. Interesting data, on "excess deaths" which show trends, and is separate from the growing murder rate which is not health care related. I'm tempted to write a paper charting the change in government threat levels over time just from this channel alone. But I want to visit the UK for the museums before the conquest/collapse, and don't want to be on the sh%t list there, yet. Seriously this teaching Doctor and J.K.Rowling do give me hope.

https://pjmedia.com/benbartee/2024/05/04/ozempic-f ace-destroying-the-hollywood-beautiful-people-n492 8766 I'm MOSTLY annoyed because the massive popularity of this diabetes drug has jacked the price through the roof, and led to shortages and rationing, for us not rich peons who actually have a medical reason to take it. That's not a concern for the Hollywood Kens & Barbies. And I'm not sure how much blame to throw at the drug that makes weight loss easier for the rich and famous, for the starvation look. True, it would take lots more will power to fast so much that they get the same results without the drug cheat. And I'm not philosophically opposed to using drugs and supplements to sculpt your body the way you want. ( the waiting line at my pharmacy is now in the Whey Protein Isolate section. I'm fine with that. The line used to be in the can't poop & wanna stop pooping isle.  I'm not joking. I prefer to read the labels out of boredom now. Plus the pictures on the boxes are hot chicks and studly guys instead of constipated middle aged people. ) Steroids, diabetes glucose drugs, human growth hormone, creatine, whatever, stuff that works... Has side effects. They're hacking their metabolism. | ||

https://twitchy.com/samj/2024/05/05/james-woods-cr azy-climate-guy-n2395812 Quite the rant. And I know rants.  Unfortunately I don't use Chinese Tok thing, not twats, so I can't give him the good news. He's right! There are far too many people on the planet for medieval technology to support! Big population explosion when Western Civilization and Capitalism created medicines that let billions live that would have naturally died, just a century ago. Pollution, and the toxic mental illness that is the Marxist cults, is a tremendous threat to freedom and life. Fortunately, the climate isn't a problem. He's been lied to. He can relax, turn off that fear circuit, and flip his passion to causes he can actually do great good for billions of people. I'll suggest a few to pick from. Islamist Conquest, that's a tough one, but certainly your passion and clarity can solve it. Speak out! The D Party Crime Families, Clintons, Bidens*, Pritzer, you know, all we need is you to demand their ill gotten gains be confiscated, and used to pay the debt, so you don't have to. Congress overspending. I bet a few good talkings to, and we can go back to the same budgets of yesteryear. You can't go back too far, or too fast, since, say, Taft's era budget has no money for the Air Force disaster relief program, or research money to cure AIDS. Bush the Younger? Poor choice, he never vetoed a spending bill. I don't think he knew he could. How about Clinton's last one? It wasn't actually balanced, that's a lie by, among others, the Republicans in Congress, but it's pretty good and we actually can afford it now that Bidenomics* has kicked in like a Party Mule! Or, you could push for a solid law that makes sure your hypothetical adopted daughter never has to listen to anti abortionists in grade school? A bill that protects children from sexual propaganda like that before High School, where only you ( the family ) will influence them. Tough sell. But Culture Leads! So you should teach everyone that adults shouldn't discuss sexual subjects to children not their own children. ( keep those busybody Deplorables away! ) Push that any adult who so acts, is obviously a pedophile rapist wannabe, or Worse! That'll use their rhetoric against them! You'd be awesome at that! I have other suggestions, get well soon. | ||

Wow. I will say it again: We are still in an ice age. His ignorance continues from there. | ||
| Aesquire |
Not arguing, since, yes, we are in a roughly million year long Ice Age cycle. ( before that, it was pleasantly warm almost all the time, between meteor strikes and volcano mass events. ) But... Today we are nearing the end of the interglacial period where it's warm, and "about to" plunge into the civilization erasing cold period. Previous cycles take a lot of years to go from warm to cold, which where I live now, means from "worry about paying the ever rising cost to keep my house from freezing" to "it won't stop showing and 6 billion starved to death" ( a short time in human scale ) to "where I lived is under a mile of ice" ( on the human scale of "heard a rumor some guy was crucified by the Romans for insurrection, but it was all some Palestinian blasphemy thing, really" to " I bought my girlfriend some carved ivory handled brushes, from a merchant that claims it's from a land across the sea and the Norsemen colony there. " aka a thousand years. We've got a really odd concept of progress and time scales here in the U.S. with just over 500 years of continuous invasion/immigration to North America, and less than half that as a radical freedom Republic. ( the 1000 years ago Viking colony failed after cheap African Ivory became cheaper, and that nasty Climate Change! ) And our entire European colonization took place in a scientific revolution. Rate of change unheard of in history. Consider, from the Roman execution of a Jewish revolutionary, to Vikings colonizing Vinland, the tech level was steel swords and regional differences in how you arrange and fasten wood planks in a boat hull. While roughly the same duration time gap is from wooden oar driven combat sailing ships, where ramming and boarding, plus archery, was State of The Art, to... Face Hardened Steel armor on steam driven ships using explosive shell cannons. And then in One Lifetime, from "Some American flew a flying machine in Paris, and it could turn laps around the race course!" to " Aerial bombardment started a firestorm that killed hundreds of thousands.

https://accordingtohoyt.com/2024/05/06/comparative -advantage-by-ian-bruene/ While I often mock economists, that's because the most famous loudmouth Prize Winning one is of a "school" aka religious sect that is mostly wrong and delusional. Also economics is splintered into "schools", aka religious sects, that follow various Prophets, even if they are wrong and delusional. But there are, or have been in the past, thinkers on the subject that had valuable insights. That actually apply in the world. | ||

https://twitchy.com/coucy/2024/05/09/climate-defia nce-bold-and-brash-n2396078 Pretty bold post from a coward who won't protest the planet's worse polluters. We might try just shipping all the Climate Con Crazies to China, where they will be greeted with open arms, and chained to make sneakers. ( I really doubt they are smart enough to work in the iPhone factory ) To be fair, I've been even more disappointed by the Feminist Movement. Their massive cowardice keeping them from defending Women's Rights against Sharia Conquest is enough to make me suspect serious self harm risk mental illness. They at least started with the noble cause of equality of opportunity. Unlike the Climate Con Cretins who have zero credibility as Communist Agitprop Parrots. Fact and logic free. Like that laundry soap that brags it's Vegan and Cruelty Free, and doesn't actually clean anything. | ||

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/05/the -daily-chart-peak-climatism.php Duh. It's been a scam since the Soviets invented the Greens. Ecology activism STARTED in the West. Clean up the air and water, the toxic waste in the Industrial Age. Good people, great achievement. I not only watched, I picked up trash with my Boy Scout troup on the side of the road and got my merit badge. The Soviets watched, saw a counter culture movement, and put in agents to push it into a Communist Revolutionary Force. Exploit the well meaning is SOP. The anti nuclear movement, the Green Party ( mostly in Europe, the ass & elephant keep a solid locked door on third parties ) and I'm sure, the Climate Con. That's why they talk but but do nothing, they Know it's a scam. They wrote The script. The Eastern Bloc & China is a toxic disaster, and the dictators just murder environment activists, WAY too much money in raping the planet and a Very Pointy pyramid of wealth. Putin, like the late unlamented Ted Kennedy, doesn't allow wind farms near their mansions and beach front castles. Or strip mines. The Elite don't want it. | ||

Anecdotal comment. Stopped for lunch at McDonald's, while the delivery truck was unloading. Electric Volvo tractor. "Carbon footprint" and other advertising on cab. As I left, the driver was coiling an extension cord. "You recharge with that?" I joked, and the driver explained the hydraulic pumps for the lift are electric, thus plugging into building. Hmm. "How's the range?" He had not gone over 200 miles, yet, required to return to warehouse when approaching 30%. Hmm. Obviously unlike the Diesel trucks, juice to run the pump is limited. Makes sense, it's why I didn't install the Main Battery headlight on my E-bike. Don't want to run out on the circuit of stores, towing a Semi is expensive, and bricking the truck is Bad. Within the limits of range, however, an Electric Semi in a local delivery application is rather nice. Probably not economically sound, without government assistance, ( my taxes ) But no noise or fumes from an idling diesel. In a restaurant parking lot, that's a big plus. ( diesels burn less fuel at idle for hours than is burned in startup and warm up. ) | ||

https://www.racket.news/p/a-deep-dive-into-the-opi oid-crisis I have opinions. Up front, I'm "an addictive personality" , meaning I can or have been hooked on various chemicals over my lifetime, I won't bore you with a list, my coffee cup is empty, and... The Big Realization came when I had surgery, and the nice doctor promised they had drugs to control the feared pain. They did! The one they gave me worked wonders. And for 3 days, this needle phobe welcomed the shot in the butt, the end of discomfort, and a nice nap. Until the morning the nurse looked at my chart and told me I could have Tylenol, now, no more x( great drug they banned a few years later because too many people's heart stopped ) . I sat up in bed, and opened my mouth, and in an extremely rare case, stopped before the words came out, "give me my shot, bitch!" ... First, I almost never use that word. ( as an insult, as a verb, sure ) Second, this lovely lady had been very nice to me. Where the Hell had this come from? The next few days I went through the typical withdrawal symptoms, despite everyone telling me you can't get addicted in just 3 days. Bull. Hey, I'm stubborn, but I Can learn. Decades later and a lot of chronic pain from arthritis and ( won't bore you... But everyone I worked with has a Bad Back ) I resisted opiates and took them sparingly when prescribed. But trashed knees and a buddy ( with decades of crippling chronic pain ) who insisted I start my relationship with my New doctor, with "I need to talk about pain Management", just to "get it over with" ( the " oh crap, an addict prescription shopping" reaction ) and get her informed about my conditions. Oh, boy. So... First visit, Doc sits down with laptop, opens my file, and asks how I'm doing. I say my scripted statement, see above. She gives me the "oh, crap..." Look see above. I start a condensed version of medical history. She's ignoring me, since I'm obviously lying. Addicts lie. I'm not offended. Just worried I screwed up this relationship. She suddenly stops. Reads aloud, "severe degenerative arthritis, both knees?" Gives me Sharp Look. Clicks pad, and X-Ray appears. Jaw drops. In a second, she pulls out prescription form and starts writing. "Here, try this".... Years later, on my annual "you're still alive?!" visit, I drop a shopping bag full of pill bottles on her desk, and ask which one I should take for pain. Over a dozen bottles, most full except for one taken, and she starts sorting. " this one's ok... Who gave you THIS???!!!...This one's Illegal now!.... " So I'm well aware of the problems of opiates, not even mentioning Absent Friends and so many entertainers... I'm not a Big Pharma alarmist. But I know the history of Heroin, my Father was in the Pharma business, and I knew stories that aren't well known. I grew up reading the PDR, because it had pretty pictures of pills. And my smart parent's response to, say, "what does inseminate mean? " was to tell me to look it up. We had dictionaries & encyclopedias, so that saved them a lot of time. And when I came back with further questions, they'd try to fill me in most of the time. Although hilariously in retrospect, when I walked up to Dad and asked what the birds & bees business was, he just stood up, muttered "didn't expect this yet" reached into the top shelf of his book case and handed me a pamphlet, on sex for 12-15 year olds. Ok, cool. A few hours later I was back ( I read fast ) and told my Dad. "My friends are idiots, and I have questions." So he just shrugged, stood up... And handed me the 16-19 edition. Cool. Wandered off. At supper he asked if I had any questions, ( with Mom rigidly sitting in silence, he'd briefed her ) I responded "not yet, think I got it" and adult sighs ended the subject for a while. I was only 8. But I did re-read those pamphlets a lot, especially later. And National Geographic. | ||

To give Dad credit, Korean War vet, Navy Corpsman, ( assigned to The Marines for a while ) was hard to boggle/upset about medical, human body stuff. I give him full credit for inspiring and encouraging me to take CPR, etc. courses ( when they first started ) and the whole family, except my kid sister, were lifeguards at some point. "Grew up at the town pool" seriously. ( My sister says she never had to take the lifeguard course, Everyone else had, and we all trained her... ) | ||
