I dont have time to read the whole label, just give me the gist. ;)
Avoid seed oils (corn, peanut, sunflower) Avoid olive oils you dont know the provenance of (most olive oil in the US is corn oil).
Fried foods are fine, if they are fried in butter/lard.
Avoid breads with enriched flower. Make your own bread without enriched flour.
Europe uses the precautionary principle. If you walk up and present terrible science that says xyz may harm someone, something, somehow - the EU will ban or at least heavily regulate it.
Going "zomg, Europe doesnt let it in schools!" Is like not drinking water because your friend heard that one chick two towns over totally died by drinking too much water.
And mobile devices transmissions are easily testable yourself by just having a second phone sitting around - even a $40 one from Amazon. Or heck, test it with your wifi base station. Put a mouse directly on top of the cell phone/ base station and put another mouse in a faraday cage.
As in each of the "g" conversions, 5g is 4g almost everywhere but downtown cores. The 'real' 5g is short distance and not that useful outside of urban areas because of the extra hardware. The 'long distance' 5g is just 4g with tricks like aggregating multiple channels and other things allowing better speeds.
Peoples phones got a software update that made the little icon say "5g" when using their old 4g phones and then people started going "Oh, im so sick. It must be tha beamz"
The "insane push" for 5g was a government sponsored media blitz. The new thing (covid) hit and thats what got the money for media. Now its electric cars and global warming.
As for the frequency parity with crowd control systems - why is that scary? The 2.4ghz used in wifi is the frquency that boils water - and yet no one has yet cooked noodles by wifi transmitter.
Its like saying the earth is ice and rock, like asteroids, therefore we should eliminate earth because an asteroid killed the dinosaurs.
Yes, which is why i support a sales-tax-only model. Shit between friends doesnt need the governments nose in it, which is why it shouldnt have a vested interest in monitoring everything.
Most people are talking about the shadow economy where you pay billy to wash your car every week for $40, and then neither of you reports it to the IRS so billy doesnt have to pay taxes on it.
Its a government wet dream to be able to tax all of this, which is why they are desperate for you to venmo/whatever your money everywhere.
"Proportionate" taxation is a theft tactic.
If you and a guy who makes $250k more per year than you both buy a loaf of bread, why do you get to pay no tax and he have to pay 100% tax?
Thats patently unequal treatment under the law. You should both pay 20% combined for all levels of government and be done with it. If you spend nothing, the government gets nothing.
Yes, your parents showed you how and financed your training throigh generations. Theirs didnt.
I can do many easy things, probably some you cant. I wont point and laugh at you because you havent bothered to dam a river on your land for free power. Its soooo easy. Why havent you done it? You deserve being the power company's bitch.
There is a high cost and learning curve on 'making their own' food. Its hard to tell your kids that they dont get to eat tonight because mommy and daddy turned a chili into sadness.
I mean, if you go with your example of bread, you have to buy all the ingredients. I can make about six loaves for $15. But I lost a LOT of bread to get to that level. If you are trying to stay afloat as so many families are, do you pay $4 for your bread for the week or do you buy $15 worth of ingredients and potentially have no bread for the week?
You could go the bread maker route, but the cheap bread makers are all poisonned chinesium from Amazon or WalMart. You are going to pay more than $300 for one that'll get you five years of life.
And you still risk losing your bread if you make a bad dough. You can end up with wheat soup or a baseball bat.
"You are conflating two completely different issues. " No, Im not. People like you think EVs solve problems and ignore the very real problems they have to do so.
"Pollution is a huge problem. Catalytic converter disposal is a huge problem (really just a subsection of pollution, but whatever)." Ah, goody. An op ed with weasel words. Im totally convinced. The math on this never works out, but dont let that stop you.
"Have you ever been to a junkyard? The waste is incredible." What waste? The reusing of old parts or the slagging down of parts people dont reuse to make more stuff? You'll notice, if you go to junkyards, that they dont have things there from the 70s, they have 10-15 model years of vehicles. Too old and its straight to the chipper to get steels and plastics return to the manufacturing chain.
"Oil from cars gets into the water system." Oil gets into the water table, mainly from prpduction incidents and industrial accidents. Even if you go pour oil doen a storm drain. Most treatment facilities separate and remove them.
"The production of gasoline is incredibly polluting." The production of batteries is moreso.
"Just because the CO2 narrative is (mostly) bullshit, doesn't make the pollution issues go away." CO2 being a pollutant is complete bullshit.
"These are problems we have solved." So, show me the battery chemistry that is solves the problems of recycling and degrading.
You clutch at the PTB and say shit like "We are totally there, we just need the info these fucks keep from us!!!!" but fail to realize that, if they wanted control and could produce this they would have release this tech to make EVs useful. Their pinnacle of control would be everyone having EVs.
"I think you are not being honest with your criticisms, and blowing everything far out of proportion with what is suggested by the actual evidence, and are mostly just repeating the rhetoric that critics use to create "opposition" beliefs." My criticisms are honest. I know EV tech thoroughly and have used it on many occassions, even working for a place that took government money to try to convert to them. Everything you complain about is specifically tailored to ignore the problems about EVs and exaggerate the problrms with ICEs.
"That's a hybrid." A hybrid uses two power plants. In most cases, a battery and an engine. Otherwise, every car in existence is already a hybrid because they have car batteries. You computer would also be a hybrid because you power it with coal plants and it has a cmos battery in it.
"From what I have seen this is not a true statement." It is true.
"In engineering you iterate." In engineering you iterate on the best solution. When a new solution appears, you compare it to whats already in use and you discard what is less effective. You dont force people to use it because 'one day' it'll be a contender.
"Yes, a hybrid with a generator running at peak carnot efficiency is an excellent use of electric engines" Thats not a hybrid. Its a diesel powered vehicle with electric motors instead of a traditional drive train.
"As for your efficiency issues, we could talk about all sorts of such issues with petro vehicles as well." Hand waving. State them. 'My' efficiency issues are well know loss via transmission and conversion. These are not 'engineering' issues.
"Battery degradation and recycling are imo the biggest two problem with EVs. Both of those are engineering issues, with massive pushes to solve." These are problems we haven't solved in 100 years of battery technology. Next to no battery are easy to dispose of.
All of your hand waving about PTB ignore the actual issues with battery driven EVs. Even if everything you said was 100% true (heres where your 'big IF' goes, btw) why should we adopt a crippled technology and suffer it's use just to make the PTB happy? Release the secrets - or better, build a business that exploits them - to make awesome EV tech for everyone.
As for cold fusion, thats a pipe dream. If you want high capacity, widely distributed power, start using LFT.
Petroleum is the clear winner. The EROI is simply too high on it to even consider electric batteries.
Even if you dont consider the sourcing and production of electric batteries, you have the losses from charging ba take into account. First, you are generating power via coal (more co2 production plus more actual pollution than gas or diesel to start) then you are generating about 1.3x the power thats being stored in your battery
If you are too hot or too cold, your batteries discharge less efficiently continuous versud just until it stabilzes to an operating temperature.
The use case for them "winning" on co2 and real pollution reduction is if they are in coastal California and hooked to an energy grid powered exclusively by nuclear.
EVs win on torque and power applied to the road. Ironically, if you were to put a small disel generator in instead of a battery, youd come closer to "winning" with an EV.
Hades was Greek Satan. Zeus was Greek storm god (which was one aspect of God in the bible, such as when He led the isrealites from Egypt).
This isnt going to change anything. All the components with electronics are "intellectual property" and require a dealer to flash the operating system onto. Surprise, surprise, they wont flash non-deere parts, even if they are identical.
The auto industry pulls the same bs.
This agreement was so that they could continue their vendor lockin strategy without setting a court precedent. If the litigants are smart, they'll continue their lawsuit.
Obesity took off because of the food pyramid pushed at the start of the 1980s as the guide to what schools were to provide for kids to eat.
Those kids grow up and two generations later still live by what they ate in grade school because all of society now provides "nutritious" food according to those guidelines.
Complaining that welfare is the problem is like complaining that walmart is to blame when you try and fail to fit into an extra small t-shirt.
Its called baselining. In order to compare recent trends, you use a baseline period to compare to that should not be influenced by those trends you are trying to study. This is why there is a gap.
I didnt delve into this study, but there may have been more reasons to stop at 2004 (the best cases are data reasons, e.g. that particular source ceased collecting/redefined collection after 2004. The worst are not reasoned at all).
This will just have Congress abdicate power more succintly. Theyll just say "The executive branch will make healthcare free to all by writing its own guidelines." One page and the 14000 pages of executive fiat wont have to be read.
Realize that Communism absolutely works.....if the Communists are altruistic.
That humans are anything but is why communism will always fail. Had gaddafi continued to reign instead of being overthrown, his successors would ravage the system to their own benefit within a decade.
What, you dont like your 5 Billion manufacturing plant to be brought to it's knees by a gram of dust?
If i remember correctly, it was a binning issue. Some stupid high number (something like 50%+) of the new chips had issues in two of their cores, so they disabled them in the first run. When they refreshed to the next phone/laptop the following year, they had cleared up the manufacturing issues and turned on the cores, and then boasted about performance gains.
Somebody made a way to turn those cores back on, from what I read, but there was a chance you'd immediately glitch on boot and have to reinstall.
I would say individual independence and personal threats are the keys to wake up. The more independent you are, the less likely you are to lean on the MSM or what have you to keep your life going, so you arent in the full grasp of authority.
Once your in group is threatened (self, family, business, farm, etc) you then try to gind the root cause of that threat and remove it. Digging for a root cause lays bare the injustice and awakens you.
Yeah, just like the constitution! We dont need the second amendment because England isnt just going to waltz an army on up in here! Context of the times!
/sarcasm
We shoild see if an in-community lawyer can create a contract letter that requires the company to positively affirm liability for all proven and statistically likely harm that comes to a person from getting the vaccine even after leaving their workforce, or they can opt to dismiss you from all vaccine nonsense.
Bet they'd back off.
They already do this across the entirety of the food chain. You think that store steak hasnt been treated? Ground beef?
This warning should have come in the 80s.
Remember when 10c per gallon could pay for an employee to do that?
