When he says "autists," it actually was autistic people who did a lot of the work. They used to have Asperger's, but the manual now lumps us in with non-verbal, head-banging, drooling kids. I don't like that. Yes, I would occasionally bump my head or sway. But I was a far cry from non-verbal. I learned when I was 2 or 3 to ask questions, if I wanted to know something.
I first saw the Q drops in February 2018, in one of those compilation graphics that Q requested. I know the exact date, as I have every file I've ever downloaded, and I download everything I believe is important, as things on the internet are not really "forever." I could list a lot of things that no longer exist online in any form whatsoever.
I will read the Geddes article in full this afternoon. Right now, I'm headed for my very last immunotherapy treatment for cancer. Yay.
People don't realize that black people have copied everything from white people. They learned English from poor white people. They copied rap from talking blues, which was originated by white country and folk singers, such as Woody Guthrie and Bob Lund.
Gas prices actually should be different prices at different stations because of differing costs of doing business. When every place in town is the same, right to the penny, that's when you know there is collusion. That's how it used to be in my home town back in the 70s and 80s. If Albert's Etna station changed, every other place in town matched him.
Prices should vary some because of the differences in rent, electricity, labor, and many other things. If a gas place accepts plastic, they have to charge that merchant fee on top of everything else. We have one Indian station that only takes cash, and they are a few cents cheaper than everyone else.
I have friends who can't get it through their heads that prices vary based on cost of doing business as well as wholesale costs. They don't seem to notice that groceries vary from store to store, hardware varies from store to store, and restaurant food varies from place to place. They fail in logic completely.
Not exactly so. Regular aspirin is over-the-counter as here. For some odd reason, the low dose aspirin for cardiovascular purposes is prescription only. If you wanted to self-prescribe, you could just buy regular aspirin and cut the tablets.
I think you might just have weird relatives. I've never seen anything like that, and I have been to a lot of funerals over the past 60+ years.
Funerals are for closure mostly. You know someone isn't coming back ever, if you see them boxed up and put in the ground.
I'm older and have never once had the flu. I think I might be naturally immune. I also never once wore a mask. A couple of places, such as Family Dollar and Wendy's, stopped us at the door, so I put them on my permanent shit list. I never got the shots, didn't stay home, and didn't follow the direction arrows in the grocery store. Enough of us didn't that the store gave up and took away the arrows.
I remember getting a lot more notifications a few years ago, including a number of X-class flares that were enough to affect satellites and radio. The biggest one yesterday was M 6.9.
I am on a mailing list from: https://listserver.ips.gov.au/mailman/listinfo/ips-flare-alert
"Emma Lazarus was born in New York City, July 22, 1849, into a large Jewish family. She was the fourth of seven children of Moses Lazarus, a wealthy merchant and sugar refiner, and Esther Nathan (of a long-established German-Jewish New York family)." - - Wikipedia
The video claims we'll have more tornadoes in the winter in the southeast, but we don't have them in the winter, just in the spring (March and April mostly).
It cites the very slightly lower than average hurricane counts, which aren't enough to really count. 15 down to 13 is little more than noise. NHC has never been right in their estimates.
Not "boomers," but old people. I'm not old yet, and I'm staying in my house. My parents stayed in their house until they died. Both my grandfathers died at home. I might be old when I get to my 90s. I'm in better shape now than I was 10 years ago.
Country singer Stringbean originated the look, but he never showed his underwear. Here's a photo of him: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS1bSgm6OE2MBqcUwHMkmhPJ7UiAzXF6N5POhotGXrl9Q&s
"Officially," not in reality. The CDC was moving normal flu deaths to the virus column. That was proved by a paper posted on the Johns Hopkins website. They don't like it, but they still posted it.
The deaths on ventilators and in nursing homes might not have been the virus, but they were directly caused by the criminals.
At this point, everyone alive is a descendant of the "ten tribes." But if you check Y-DNA, most people in Ireland, for example, are descended in the male line from Japheth, not Shem. There are also ancient genealogies that modern historians don't count, even though those genealogies are from different countries but agree completely in the earlier generations.
There were only natural borders in ancient times, rivers, mountains, oceans, etc. There were no lines on any map. Cultures were developed over hundreds of years by people separated from other people. It's like culture here in the South is very different from that in other parts of the country. The earliest basic language groups (around 70 to 100) came at the Tower of Babel, but there have been other languages (around 7,000) since then that developed over time.
I have a wealthy cousin who owns two Tesla Plaids and a Cybertruck. He says the Plaids can beat anything he owns for acceleration. He has a huge collection of Ferraris, Rolls-Royces, muscle cars, and older cars he's just interested in.
I don't use a cellphone. I do have a machine with no SIMS card or plan just so I can take photos (no GPS), play games, and have hundreds of books I can read wherever I happen to be. Wi-fi is turned off all the time. I have a 1TB card in it so I can carry thousands of songs, books, and other files. It's just handy. Also, without a plan means that I don't get bombarded with ads while I play a game I got for free.
I am free to go as I please. I didn't stay home during the fake virus. I also didn't wear a mask ever, get shots, or even walk down the store aisles following the arrows.
Apple was always overpriced for what it could do.
The Radio Shack Color Computer was the most fun computer I ever owned. You could connect it directly to almost everything. I bought an extra printer cable, removed one end and added a MIDI plug, and was able to play and record on a Yamaha electronic keyboard. I also used the cassette cable to connect the computer to my shortwave radio. I typed in a program from Rainbow Magazine and was able to receive weatherfax and news photos that were transmitted on shortwave. That made a $100 computer exactly equivalent to a $1,000 weatherfax machine. Today's PCs require additional hardware to do those things and aren't nearly as much fun to play with.
The Color Computer was what I used in the late 1980s for play and online research. There were BBS systems all over the country, as well as CompuServe, America Online, GEnie, and other services.
Why? I have no GPS in my car. My town is too cheap to have "traffic cameras" all over the place. They have them at a couple of major intersections, and I don't have to go through any of those to get anywhere I need to go. The station might have surveillance inside, but I could always wear "something."
Perhaps we should go back to the old days of self-serve gas where there was no building at all, and the pumps would accept currency.
What you should say is "organized religion." I have found that 100% of Protestant denominations fail to follow all the doctrines and facts enumerated in the New Testament. They all just leave out stuff. The Catholic church does the same. I belong to a church, only for the worshipping together part. I try to slip in some facts occasionally.
The Bible is true and provably so in almost every point. A few things are beyond our ability to prove. I have been reading and studying for over 60 years.
