If I were a talented man, which I'm not, I would have made a meme like this, only the line would have been "Do you like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new-wave for my taste..."

You cant stop some updates unless you disable Google services as well as the manufacturer updates (then replace it with something else so your other apps work). That needs root and usually an unlocked bootloader. A long, deep rabbit hole; nearly impossible if you aren't a techie. Can be done though, yay AOSP!

TLDR: not updating wont save you. You need a hardened OS.

When I added NAC to my regimen, (outside of a specific infection, Covid or otherwise) I felt 20 years younger. It is cheap enough to try, I felt it within a day and continued improvement for at least 48 hours. Drink lots of water with it.

Can confirm, definitely reduces a high BP. This shit does some miracles.

AFAIK Tesla is the /only/ EV manufacturer that thought of this. Early on, they realized a tiny percentage of LiON batteries would indeed catch on fire via thermal runaway, but that was enough to be unacceptable. They built the cells in little packs with some kind of gel around them, such that if one started heating up the surrounding ones (and the gel) would suck enough heat to stop thermal runaway, and the battery charging system would then disconnect it from its grid so the remainder of the pack didn't turn into a brick.

There is a lot of engineering they did for this kind of thing; when I hear a GM Bolt lit a block on fire, it boggles my mind that no one there thought of this...

Of all the anti-EV arguments, I can't fathom why /this/ one comes up on a board full of so many thinking, awake minds.

Unless you happen to be a petrochemical engineer sitting on a specific geographic feature (e.g. oil), how on earth do you think you can make your own gas? You can get a solar array (say, pre-chaos) and charge an EV even if the rest of the world disappears. I haven't seen many home refinery kits available. (And before someone brings up moonshine, Ethanol is corrosive to most plastic like fuel lines and won't run a car very long unless it is built for E85+ from scratch.)

Heck, if the power goes out, so do the gas pumps, and gas will expire quick enough stockpiling isn't a rational solution.

Sure, a 1970 Nova or something with a carb and no electronics will likely survive an EMP, but it still is only good for the 200 miles or so in the tank

Lepto is easily contracted by your dog doing so much as walking outside in an urban area... if an infected rat pisses somewhere where rainwater carries it, they can pick it up. Like Parvo, often fatal to smaller dogs.

I'm not sure beyond rabies, parvo, and lepto, any more do any good; depends where you live and what threats you face.

Pretty low rabies threat in most areas, but as others stated, if you ever have a bite incident there are a lot of really cruel laws on books for your best friend if they don't have that vax. At least here, you can get a 3y shot (vs 1Y) which is pretty much the same dose, so you do it LESS often...

Just think rationally... two years ago we may have said "why should I feed my dog this Ivermectin de-wormer, those awful pharma scammers..." and now I'm like "sh*t, probably cures cancer as well as deworms..."

From a radiology class (nuclear power field training)... the average human gets cancer six times a day, every day... and successfully deals with it.

This was a jaw dropper for everyone in the class.

Flying - where you are further up in the atmosphere - exposes you to more gamma radiation which could up that number further... but still, the human body is an amazing machine that copes with that an absurd amount of the time.

How long ago did she get the J&J? I'd love to have more data points on the immune response to that one (and the Soviet, India vax ones that are also !mRNA) to the variants.

The evils of mRNA are well discussed, but there is little honest discord about what that one does, intermediate and long term. I'd like to think that if she passes a D-dimer test and maybe some other heart screening (echo-cardiog?) then it is all over, and she will return to a pure-blood (as her DNA is intact) at some point, once the toxins get filtered out.

Then, for fun, you should ALL get a antibody test to see how everyone did. Your 2YO is probably set for life now, safest kid for anyone in the neighborhood to play around.

The CTU makes the deep state look like angels with their greed. No one sides with them. Not the parents, not the students, not the city officials, and certainly not the fire or police unions, who need raises once and awhile, too, but get passed over because these clowns have no ethical issue holding children hostage...

I second the maintenance. Former sailor as well here. Salt water is horrid on steel, regardless of what it is made of (iron, cobalt, nickel, etc). If anything, the paint might be sub-par.

My [naval] paint experience is what gives me the most confidence in calling out coof masks as fraud... the organic vapor respirators we wore when working with them did their job; if you had a leak, you'd be dead on the ground before you even got to fresh air. Stupid cloth won't do a damn thing...

I've seen these letters before for other drugs ordered overseas (an equally important subject, something that helps lactation for a mom who delivered a preemie, and like IV, is off-label use in the US and no local doctors will prescribe it, even though it works like a charm) and the text is a little different. Hers was stopped for something different, regarding labeling laws, like not having "Rx" on it. Reading this: "determined to lack adequate directions for use", it seems like they are stopping it on a technicality- they aren't saying "you don't have a prescription, FU".

Maybe if the vendor added "take twice daily as prescribed by your physician" or something like that they would let it through?

Ah, and we all starve to death because DRM.

Soon, we'll see trailers pulled by 'Murican muscle cars with carbs and no electronics... although I suppose diesel should be even easier to get running in an post-EMP environment...

Alinsky's rules for radicals, Tactic #5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon". It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage".

Check.

Our side can read, too. Keep firing the meme cannons, pedes.
