Depending on which box I use I can't either. ( Pay wall ) Article is about two new techs. An app that lets truck of any company get together with another to draft each other to save fuel. & the autopilot systems that let trucks talk so when the lead truck brakes or accelerates, the following truck does too with no time lag. ( ideally much less than the multiple tenths of a second a human takes to respond to brake lights ) The drivers still steer and chose cruising speed, & can over ride. There's still some bugs to work out. Like a train of trucks blocking exit ramps & idjits cutting between trucks into the crush zone. |

I do not consider the crushed idjits to be a bug that won't fix itself over time. The bug I fore see is the truck in front that crashes leaving a train wreck of trucks. |

http://news.trust.org/item/20171027080717-vcaiz I really should get in this business. Restatement of obviousness for Science! The Asian statistics are why California state colleges use racial discrimination instead of merit in admissions policy. They fear an all Asian school. Racism at it's most self righteous. |

Stalin could not be more proud. I use Roundup myself. Not commercially, just to slaughter grass on the driveway and around features of the yard I don't want to mechanically shred. Without it I'd use older, more polluting chemicals. The banning of Roundup would raise food prices and starve millions in the third world. ( in contrast, The Food to Fuel program in the U.S. has only killed tens to hundreds of thousands, helped create an invasion/immigration crisis in Europe and sparked Civil War in multiple countries. To be fair Obama's Wars aren't all the fault of burning corn for religious purposes & subsidies. The high food prices were just triggers. ) |

Glyphosphate can be purchased cheaper than in a round-up container. I mix glyphosphate with water in my sprayer and use it along my fence row. |

My brother's brother-in-law grew up in farming. He now works for Michigan Agricultural Commodities, inc. as a branch manager. He also does a lot of consulting with farmers in the region, helping them make the most of their farm investments. A couple of years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer, the he attributes to life long exposure to Roundup. Thankfully, his cancer is currently in remission. He knows the history of this product very well. He told me that early in it's use, there simply wasn't proper care used in it's handling. He said in it's early days, it was splashed all over, and no one gave it a second thought. Damned near bathed in it at times. It was also applied to crops much more heavily than what is done today. Interestingly, as a victim of the hazards of this product, he has told me that it's a very safe product when used in accordance with today's standards. Basically, like radiation, as well as many things, more is not better. Once you have learned how to use it properly though, it can be used safely with great benefit. Imagine if we were panicked about x-rays because of the early follies of when we didn't understand the dangers of excessive exposure to radiation. |

The roundup resistant plants let farmers do one massive weed kill instead of many applications. I wash after exposure. I come from the days when DDT was used heavily. Kids running down the street while the wash from trucks spraying the neighborhood. I've been crop dusted. Today crop dusting uses far less chemicals applied far more precisely. You get sued if your chemicals go onto your neighbors farm. Good sense works. |

I once considered a "300" tour. Go with friends and recreate the battle of Thermopylae. Small scale. Unfortunately there's a highway taking up the pass where the Spartans stood off Persia. Literally have to stop multi lane traffic to play..... so not going to happen. Now I'm considering a Hannibal march. Get a bunch of Climate Con people lost on a glacier that wasn't there back in the day. |

Plague is endemic there. Sad thing is it is easily treatable. The real plague is the corruption that diverts medical supplies to the black market so they can buy used AK47s. |

Maybe not. Maybe air travel in Europe in peril. Ya gotta love the Sun for scary headlines. I forget, which volcano in the Canary islands may trigger a U.S. east coast tsunami if the west slope of the island has massive underwater land slides? That would make every hurricane storm surge in U.S. history combined look like a ripple in a pond. Biblical proportion disaster. Literally. More dead than lived on the planet when the Bible was written. Probably nothing to worry about in your lifetime. The Sun loves to hype this stuff. Heck, according to them the Loch Ness monster could come ashore in Queens. But volcanoes exist. They do erupt. They do cause ash clouds that disrupt travel plans and have changed the climate. A year without a summer in the 21st century? What's the starvation toll for that? One thing is for certain. Some politician will blame Global Warming. Some other will call it Trump's fault. ( of course we know it's Hillary's ) |

Funny- I watched an old Barney Miller rerun this morning (man, what a great show); one of the characters was trying to warn the world about the impending ice age. Dietrich even cited the scientific evidence to back up the guy's claims. But we have to remember the science is settled! |

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/11/02/myst erious-void-great-pyramid-giza-could-finally-revea l-pyramids/ When I worked late shift at a gas station we had a small tv and the only thing on @ 4:00am was Dr. Scott. A televangelist out of LA. He'd do hours on the mysteries of the pyramids. One night he hadn't raised enough to pay for his giant church so spent the entire show refusing to preach and just had his studio band play jazz all night long. I sometimes wonder what happened to him, but never cared enough to look it up. |

http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/875433/Black-D eath-plague-2017-madagascar-outbreak-africa-world- health-organisation-virus-uganda Marburg is similar to Ebola,in that both are hemorrhagic diseases, ( you bleed to death internally ) probably are from animals, ( bats? ) and have no cure, being viral. Also like Ebola, Marburg has a short life cycle in humans, and thus usually doesn't spread too far in a preindustrial culture, since it kills too quickly for people to walk all that far. Usually, in the old days, there would be some villages full of dead, found after the disease had slaughtered them, and the cluster would naturally die off. ( we know this because there are still people on the planet ) But in the Jet age, you can be exposed in the jungle Sunday, and Tuesday be on the other side of the planet in a massive metropolis. Expect calls for travel bans. Expect idiots complaining we can't just let the afflicted die, even though no doubt very brave doctors and nurses will flock to the dying. |

While the political jerkazoids at the Center for Disease Control CDC infuriate me, the pros are top notch with huge ovaries and testicles. On 9/11/01 I walked into work and told the Supervisor I was happy to work in terrorist target areas ( & I was, at that time ) but if it went to Biological war I was staying home since we were a prime vector. Then we HAD a biowar attack and fellow workers died. I kept working since that was an isolated case and not plague. They never caught the murderer. I'd love to look at those files. It's personal. |
