The Fibonacci sequence begins 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2548, 4181, …. How many of these days have significant events? 13 and 21 were significant this month. Last year or maybe 2022 it was crazy 8s.

The economist cover does NOT have the spiral.

A different version was posted to .win about 2022-01-02 This version correlates better to the events of July 13th. https://media.patriots.win/post/KaI8iRkah32f.png (Note: all wins share the same media server. It could have been ga.w or any other scored site.) On other sites this version can be found as early as 2016.

It could be worth getting the 401k match. There should be a money market option that will pay at least 4% now with very low risk to the principle. Then invest if there is a crash. If you change jobs, then you can roll it over into an IRA where you can buy whatever stocks you want.

I'm not a financial advisor.

No one has said whether deltas are meant to be adjusted for leap years. 2024 is a leap year so the day number of the year (194th) is the same.

I wrote this bookmarklet that displays the exact UTC timestamps for the posts. It also allows the timestamp to be copied with the rest of the post. You can see the UTC timestamps by hovering your mouse over the "X hours" text but that doesn't work for screenshots. It no longer works on p.win and never worked on c.win. The new code for c.win does some weird mouse-over detection that totally breaks what I was doing.

Also, kudos to the original thedonald.win developers for making a site that copy and pastes well. It's superior to X and Truth. I archive select posts in LibreOffice Writer.

javascript:(function(){ const collection=document.getElementsByClassName('timeago'); for(i=0;i<collection.length;i++) { console.warn(collection[i]); collection[i].nextSibling.textContent=" "+collection[i].title+" "; } })();

Also use yt-dlp to archive videos. It's good to add --add-metadata and --write-auto-subs as otherwise it's almost impossible to search the content of a video. And maybe --write-description.

It's a super pain in the 🫏 but if you're technically inclined you can run your own zimit. I tried the online service and it took a week to run.

The one thing I am pretty certain of is that AI pays much less per kWh that us consumers. It doesn't really matter when the AI training is done, so it makes sense to run overnight when electricity is cheap. They could pause some processing when electricity is expensive. Opportunistic loads like that should help stabilize the grid.

Has your electric meter been replaced with a "more accurate" electronic version?

Has the price per kWh gone up? The bills from my electric company are very obfuscated. I had to add up the "electricity" cost, the fuel surcharge, and then add city, county, and state taxes to all of that.

Has the base service charge gone up? While a 30% increase in the base charge could happen, that wouldn't increase the whole bill by 30%.

The amount of energy used by an air conditioner should be somewhat proportional to the Cooling Degree Days for your location.

With the doves raised in captivity and then tossed through an open window into the outside, their long term survival is probably not good.

The peace dove was attacked in 2013 too.

I asked about this in the past and did not get any answers but it sounds like others want to know too. I love my MyPillow foam mattress and Giza sheets. Both are super comfy. The mattress feels very soft but also provides decent support. I weigh 140 lbs. When researching mattresses, I read that heaver people (>250 lbs) may need firmer mattresses. Everyone says MyPillow products are of excellent quality and I agree.

The mattress is made in USA by Jeffco Fibres Inc 12 Park St Webster, MA. It did have a slight new mattress smell on the bottom and sides. This is in contrast to one of the reviews on the MyPillow site.

The Independence Day sale going on now offers $100 off mattresses. If you know of a worthy promo code post it here.

Remember, you can’t have a Great Awakening if you don’t get a good night’s sleep.

Trump CONTROL is on the left side of the picture. So Trump is in control of the left?

Emissions systems are now at a point where particulate matter from tires and brakes is a non-trivial percentage of a vehicle's total emissions.

And now with the touchscreens you can't even upgrade the radio.

Let this also be a reminder to Archive Offline. ga.win posts archive very well compared to "truth" social and X. I copy and paste posts into LibreOffice Writer. The images and links copy as well making it easy to find the posts again if I need to. I even wrote this bookmarklet that displays the exact UTC timestamps for the posts. It also allows the timestamp to be copied with the rest of the post. You can see the UTC timestamps by hovering your mouse over the "X hours" text but that doesn't work for screenshots. It no longer works on p.win and never worked on c.win.

javascript:(function(){ const collection=document.getElementsByClassName('timeago'); for(i=0;i<collection.length;i++) { console.warn(collection[i]); collection[i].nextSibling.textContent=" "+collection[i].title+" "; } })();

Just another "coincidence" ;-)

On a day when no severe weather was predicted or expected...a tornado forms, baffling the weather experts—most saying they’ve never seen anything like it. It happens right in the city. The city: Minneapolis.

The tornado happens on a Wednesday...during the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America's national convention in the Minneapolis Convention Center. The convention is using Central Lutheran across the street as its church. The church has set up tents around it’s building for this purpose.

According to the ELCA’s printed convention schedule, at 2 PM on Wednesday, August 19 [2009], the 5th session of the convention was to begin. The main item of the session: “Consideration: Proposed Social Statement on Human Sexuality.” The issue is whether practicing homosexuality is a behavior that should disqualify a person from the pastoral ministry.

The eyewitness of the damage continues:

This curious tornado touches down just south of downtown and follows 35W straight towards the city center. It crosses I94. It is now downtown.

The time: 2PM.

The first buildings on the downtown side of I94 are the Minneapolis Convention Center and Central Lutheran. The tornado severely damages the convention center roof, shreds the tents, breaks off the steeple of Central Lutheran, splits what’s left of the steeple in two...and then lifts.

  1. Conclusion: The tornado in Minneapolis was a gentle but firm warning to the ELCA and all of us: Turn from the approval of sin.

APMEX sells select items through walmart_com. Sometimes you get a better deal there than from APMEX themself, especially if paying by card. I don't know if they charge everyone sales tax or just those in states that tax metals. Boooo! But be sure it's sold and shipped by APMEX.

It might be worth saving up for a few months to get a tube of 20 coins. That should result in a lower per ounce price and save on shipping. I'm not sure I would recommend that right now. It's near a one month low right now. And you might want some in your hand now given the uncertainty of everything.

You can buy gold for as little as $5 in the form of Goldbacks. Cool product.

Mike Adams the health ranger has talked about the safrax tablets in his July 4 2023 show. Highly recommended for disinfecting inanimate objects. He discourages consuming this form.

I heard something interesting in a video about X11 or something like that

It's better to be a leading provider of industry standard technology than the sole provider of proprietary technology

.... I don't think distributing information is the problem. It is standing out from all the fake videos / people getting paid to poison the well.

The Purple Earth Hypothesis is that the first photosynthetic organisms on Earth used retinal. This molecule absorbs green light, reflecting red and blue. Green light is the most plentiful at Earth's surface today.

Chlorophyll does the opposite, absorbing red and blue and reflecting green. It is said that it evolved to use the red and blue light left over from retinal. Also, the wiki article mentions a 300 million year ice age. Maybe absorbing the green light isn't a good idea when done at a massive scale?
