Joel Salatin! If true? I attended a seminar with him way back in the nineties I believe it was. Smart farmer. Over the three decades or so of raising Nubian goats for meat, milk and profit I rubbed elbows with a lot of small scale farmers that know the better ways of animal husbandry. By “profit” I mean making enough to cover the costs of feed for the most part. My wages for the effort may have reached a high at times of about 50 cents an hour!
The map of Ukraine looks very close to what I was predicting more than a year ago, to anyone that would at least talk civilly about the war.
Good morning John! Early there.Oxy “Ah I’m sorry – did you not know you are militarily occupying our country here in Pine Gap Australia?”
Still doesn’t matter one bit. Giving the air time spent on the election is a waste of your time. Did you hear anything about change in foreign policy? Anything? It makes no difference to those of us outside of the US who sits in the oval office if there is no meaningful change in foreign policy so why give the theatre spectacle called the US election any running room?jb-hp “Canada? What is the recommended medical course of action for suicidal thoughts?”
We got that covered, it’s called MAIDS. If you’re feeling depressed, suicidal give us a call at MAIDS We have just the injection to fix that and it’s faster than waiting on the spike!“• Boeing Could Offload Space Business – WSJ (RT)
“Sounds reasonable for their situation. Can we offload all the other parts out of Monopoly status? Like spin back out Martin Marietta, Hughes, Douglas, etc until we have a competition ecosystem again? A: no. This article clearly demonstrates we may only sell one monopoly to ANOTHER monopoly, because: Monopoly. Monopoly = Capitalism, where we have no competition and no price discovery.”
Dr D it looks more like setting up for the lawsuits to me. You know like Union Carbide, sell of the profitable parts, abscond with the profit and let the bankruptcy court give the little remaining value mostly to the legal system. Rinse, repeat.
“The dollar has strengthened along with the rising probability of a Trump win in betting markets..”
Strengthened? Really? Gold has been rising steadily since August and is now sitting above 2700 USD. Hmm.
TBOC no offence taken mate. I’m merely saying that the criteria for classifying a storm at certain categories isn’t being adhered too. The wind speeds for a cat 3 are between 178mph and 208mph sustained for one minute at 30 feet above sea level. It wasn’t a half truth it was a total lie. At no time in the two days before land fall and right up to and including at landfall it never achieved the necessary criteria to call it anything other than a cat1. The press gets its info from the government environment department. How are they calculating this now as compared to yesteryear?
Okay so don’t jump on me for calling this one out a bit. I’m not in anyway suggesting that things weren’t/aren’t dangerous in theses storms. I’ve been looking for and unable to find any winds at the surface that are cat 3 intensity.
From wiki: “To be classified as a hurricane, a tropical cyclone must have one-minute-average maximum sustained winds at 10 m (33 ft) above the surface of at least 74 mph (64 kn, 119 km/h; Category 1).[1] The highest classification in the scale, Category 5, consists of storms with sustained winds of at least 157 mph (137 kn, 252 km/h). The classifications can provide some indication of the potential damage and flooding a hurricane will cause upon landfall.”
There used to be transponder info from the planes that fly through these things. I don’t see that anymore, even on Levi’s Tropical Tidbits. Where did they go? Searching the wind speeds at ground level I can’t find anything above cat 1. These wind speeds that are being publicized are well above 3 meters. I also see in this mornings live news coverage a much lower surge height. As I alluded too yesterday in order to get these surge heights you need these high wind speeds to be close enough to the ground to build up the sea levels. The surge is more in line with cat 1 style and this has the reporters seemingly baffled. There seems to be more flooding from the intense rain fall. The severe wind damage that I’ve so far been able to find is from the tornados that the storm touched off. Fear porn, fear sells and helps to keep everyone off guard, or should I say on guard for the wrong things. Squirrel gotta go!TBOC Sorry mate didn’t mean to say it was a nothing burger. I’m quite sure the storm surge is going to be crazy bad. What I was alluding to is the inland infrastructure damage well away from any surge that will be blamed on a massive storm that isn’t there, as far as the wind speeds are concerned. I haven’t been to Tampa or Florida, I do however live on the Atlantic coast and have seen first hand the damage a hurricane surge can have. It’s the inland damage from a mild blow on the scale of hurricanes that is making me wonder about these wind speed predictions. Anyhow we shall see the “official” explanations for the coming disaster soon enough. Our province has sent 35 hydro repair workers to Florida in the yesterday I believe to help in the restoration effort that is coming.
Hmm fear porn is flying high on this one. Not saying it won’t be bad however I’m thinking they’re pumping up the intensity of this storm to cover the fact that the infrastructure is in really bad shape due to lack of regular maintenance. Looking at Nullschool the highest surface wind speeds I can find right now is 107
km/hr. The surge will be bad no doubt but cat 5? Maybe at the upper levels near the jet stream.Aspnez instead of going on so much about the short comings of the west and its populations, which most here are well aware of. Why not extoll the virtues of the CCP upon us uninformed masses. Explain how the social credit system is so much better than anything here. How your life experiences are better under the Chinese government style of organization.
Dr D from yesterday: “Hey, didn’t computer (praised be its name) predict the worst hurricane season Evah, and now it’s just One? One? Cat 3?”
Maybe the grad student entering the data never heard about the La Nina effect!?
Dr D: “Can you believe you’ve ever made a mistake?”
It would be easier to list the times I haven’t. It would be a short list!@celticbiker
From yesterday:
“Ask anyone, anyone who works in a tourist trap that the whole world visits. Ask them who the biggest assholes are. Take a wild guess.”I live very close to Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia one of the most photographed place in Canada. This time of year there are a lot of cruise ships coming to Halifax and the tour buses are continuous here seven days a week and will be til late October. We also have a memorial site very close to Peggy’s for Swiss Air flight 111 crash back in ’98. I don’t work in the tourist trades but know plenty who do. No wild guess required!
This from the transportation board of Canada:
Additional safety risks identified
During the course of this investigation, some additional risks that have the potential to degrade aviation safety were identified. Although these factors could not be shown to have played a direct role in this occurrence, the associated deficiencies could potentially lead to other accidents if the deficiencies are not rectified.Areas of concern
checklists that do not adequately deal with smoke conditions;
aircraft designs that do not facilitate the rapid de-powering of electrical systems;
MD-11 map light design and installation;
lack of clarity in guidance material and regulations regarding wire separation in confined areas; and
inadequacy of Supplemental Type Certificate standards to ensure that add-on equipment is compatible with the aircraft’s type certificate
In addition to the 14 safety recommendations that the Board has issued during the course of the investigation, nine recommendations are presented in the final report:Two recommendations that deal with testing and flammability standards of in-service thermal acoustic insulation materials.
One recommendation that deals with the application of existing standards for the certification of other materials.
Two recommendations that focus on aircraft electrical systems, including additional measures for certifying supplementary add-on systems and industry standards for circuit breaker resetting.
Four recommendations that propose improvements to the capture and storage of flight data as it relates to cockpit voice recorders, flight data recorders, and cockpit image recording systems.
The final report also identifies some safety concerns that require additional follow-up. The TSB will continue to work with regulatory authorities and the aviation industry to help ensure that the recommended safety improvements are carried out as effectively as possible. For a complete list of the Board’s recommendations, see Part 4, “Safety Action,” of the Swissair 111 Investigation Report, available at: http://www.tsb.gc.ca.Safety action taken
As a result of the TSB’s findings and recommendations during the course of this investigation, considerable safety action has been taken by various regulatory authorities, airlines, and manufacturers to address the recommendations, advisories, and observations made by the Board. Such action taken has significantly improved aviation safety worldwide.Safety action taken to date includes the following:
MPET-covered thermal acoustic insulation blankets have been ordered removed from aircraft;
new flammability testing criteria have been developed;
flight crew reading lights have been re-designed;
additional guidance material for dealing with smoke situations has been promulgated to flight crews;
aircraft checklists have been modified;
numerous inspections have been completed on wiring and components to look for and eliminate potential ignition sources;
the IFEN system was removed voluntarily from Swissair aircraft; subsequently the design was de-certified; and
new FAA policies are in place for the certification of in-flight entertainment systems.
Other safety measures stemming from the TSB’s recommendations are also being implemented. See Part 4, “Safety Action,” of the Swissair 111 Investigation Report for a complete list.https://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/medias-media/fiches-facts/A98H0003/sum_a98h0003.html
“Nobody seems to know what she is busy with.”
Avoiding the press requires full time effort when you’re job includes talking at them. So, busy with making avoidance plans.
Dr.D One million per year is what, a rounding error? Or close. https://www.worldometers.info/ tells me that almost 45 million have died so far this year. So three quarters of the way through the year I would expect the total to be around 60 mil +/-. Net growth shows a 50 mil increase in global population so far this year. Still increasing so another mil isn’t enough. It has to rise to an extra seven or eight mil to start the downward trend. One million, hmph, chicken feed I say. Have to speed this up somehow? Running out of time to save what’s left of the natural world for the low quality humans, LQH’s, that think they are more deserving. Exploding electronics, AI, CBDC’s, MSM who ya gonna trust?
@aspnaz “Yet one more reason not to do home automation or any of that electronics shit. Electronics is getting dangerous, time to get back to petrol, diesel and coal.”
Amen.
A world made by hand!
I propose adding a new acronym to the alphabet lexicon to be used in all the places that the flotsam seems to occupy: LQH = low quality human. There is a seemingly endless bunch of them somehow surfacing everywhere just over the past few years.
“If you get into an accident with an FSD vehicle, who gets the blame? Man or machine?”
In light of recent events in France shouldn’t it be the CEO of the auto company?
Just checking on sea surface temps and from Africa to South America and on into the Gulf of Mexico the surface temps are well above the optimal 28c that the big storms need to form. La Nina?
““If no named storms form across the Atlantic waters by Monday, this would mark the first time in 27 years that not a single named tropical storm has developed in the basin from Aug. 21-Sept. 2.”
No shit. Watching the storms and the atmospheric conditions that spawn the big storms for decades now it was always stated that during years with la nina the storms would be muted. I is a la nina year so fewer storms shouldn’t be any surprise to anyone. Not enough fear this year to harp on about, so back to the approaching nuclear holocaust until the market crashes or something else. Maybe monkey pox or a sudden rise in polio cases.
Dr D: “Okay, now that they can admit Russia set this trap, what was the trap FOR?”
It looks very much like it was a trap. A trap for the criminally insane and it worked like a charm! The Kursk incursion has lost its shine already with the MSM. They don’t seem to like being outed by reality. JOY = jokes on you, love it. What happens to the jokers when they can no longer draw a crowd? In the misty past some were mercilessly relieved of their mortal coil but most I suspect just starved.
– Western media admits Ukraine has dangerously overextended itself through its Kursk incursion;
– Western media claims Russia is unable to use glide bombs in Kursk because of poor “air-control systems,” however, glide bombs are used primarily to break heavy fortifications which the Western media admits Ukraine is not building in Kursk;
– Despite claims that Russia’s response was “disjointed,” Ukraine’s Kursk operation has become a liability, costing it irreversibly lost territory along the actual line of contact;
– The more territory Ukraine attempts to hold in Kursk, the more troops and equipment it must divert from the actual line of contact;
– Western media reports admit that Russian progress in the Donbass has accelerated since the Kursk incursion began;
– Ukraine is not building the type of fortifications required to hold onto Kursk in the long-term with Western officials/analysts admitting that once Russia brings in sufficient reinforcements, uprooting Ukraine is inevitable;
– US military assistance to Ukraine continues to shrink, with the most recent package featuring the same items (without quantities noted) as previous packages, suggesting the US is drawing from its insufficient monthly production;
This is just AI now add to this the extra power needed for digital everything which also requires AI to monitor the digital ID world that lies spread eagle before us, just waiting to be screwed (up).
As Covello said in the Goldman Sachs report, “AI bulls seem to just trust that use cases will proliferate as the technology evolves. But eighteen months after the introduction of generative AI to the world, not one truly transformative—let alone cost-effective—application has been found.” Note that Goldman Sachs makes more money as AI this boom goes on, there’s nobody more incentivized to hype it up, but even they’re like “uh, this is bullshit.” As the paper says in the intro:
The bigger question seems to be whether power supply can keep up. GS US and European utilities analysts Carly Davenport and Alberto Gandolfi, respectively, expect the proliferation of AI technology, and the data centers necessary to feed it, to drive an increase in power demand the likes of which hasn’t been seen in a generation, which GS commodities strategist Hongcen Wei finds early evidence of in Virginia, a hotbed for US data center growth.
Oxy the problem I see in the digital future is the electricity to run it smoothly. It will be tried without doubt as it’s already being implemented in small ways. Small compared to assigning a value to everything. The energy to run this thing while running the physical economy at the same time does not appear to exist. Nor is there any viable plan to add this much energy into the system above what is already being produced and used. Try, they must, fail, they will.

@jb-hb I called bullshit on this one the moment it hit the news cycle. I said then and say it now, the anomalies were small garden plots that the kids would have had to tend to. These activities were quite common back in the day. Not roots or rocks but simply formerly tilled earth. Rocket science to those people. This from the initialed people that higher education turns loose on the rest of us.@ Wes
Agreed on the GDP however that’s not how these people think. An increase in GDP is used to make it look like they’re doing something right. The general public doesn’t understand that GDP is a measure of transactions only and nothing to do with production of real things. So an increase in the GDP plays well to the public and would allow them to increase military spending even if it doesn’t get to 2%. 1% 0f 1000 is a much larger slice than 1% of 10.Zerosum from yesterday: “In order for Canada to reach the 2% of GDP benchmark suggested by NATO, the government would need to spend between $13 and $18 billion more per year over the next 5 years. (if our GDP does not grow)”
One easy way to grow the GDP would be to separate government payments like pensions and tax rebates into two parts. Twice a month this would double those transactions. As GDP is just a measure of financial transactions this would give a great boost to the GDP numbers.
@field-able “WTF is Russia at war or not;”
Nothing more profitable than war baby!
“Governor Moscow oblast, Andrei Vorobyov, confirmed in a Monday statement that three floors of the building have been overwhelmed by flames. “The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth floors are on fire,” Mash said Monday.”
So how come it’s still standing? That should be enough to collapse it and at least one other nearby building.
For a little perspective on the Canadian experience:
“The profit motive as currently understood in the globalist mind will be extinguished.”
Unlikely, it’s the profit motive that has created AI, so this line of thinking will remain in the algorithms. AI is just algorithms so it is already in a box. A minotaur’s labyrinth maybe.“That clip is 13 days old. It has no bearing on what happened to either Ritter or Nap in the past two days.”
Wow! That’s interesting, I watched the show the yesterday and copied the url from my history and pasted it in haste on my way out to work. Hit send and left.
Trying again:“Not only Scott Ritter was pulled off that plane to St Petersburg, so was Judge Nap(olitano).”
That’s a hard no. The judge says so himself,
Oroboros they are not suffocating they like the view.
Looking at the Tyndall experiments I was attempting to see the amounts of gases used. It would seem he used the gases mentioned at concentrate, I may have missed something? Still I wonder if he had the ability to use just natural air and then inject a few ppm’s to note any change? Would he have had any reasonable way to measure any gas concentration at ppm levels, or even at a few parts per thousand? I bought this drivel about co2 for far too long as if it were passed down by the gods. So here is an experiment from The Royal Society:
Abstract
A simple experiment has been developed to demonstrate the global warming potential of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in the Earth’s atmosphere. A miniature electric resistance heating element was placed inside an inflatable balloon. The balloon was filled with either air or CO2. Whereas the CO2 partial pressure on the earth’s atmosphere is approximately 4 × 10−4 atm, in this experiment, a high partial pressure of CO2 (1 atm) was used to compensate for the short radiation absorption path in the balloon. The element was heated to approximately 50°C, the power was then switched off and the element’s cooling trends in air and in CO2 were monitored. It took a longer time to cool the heating element back to ambient temperature in CO2 than in air. It also took longer times to cool the element in larger size balloons and in pressurized balloons when they were filled with CO2. To the contrary, the balloon size or pressure made no difference when the balloons were filled with air. A simple mathematical model was developed, and it confirmed that the radiative heat loss from the element decreased significantly in CO2. This investigation showed that the cooling rate of an object, with surface temperature akin to temperatures found on Earth, is reduced in a CO2-rich atmosphere because of the concomitant lower heat loss to its environment.That last line says it all “CO2-rich atmosphere” their atmosphere is all CO2 and we are at, what was that JBHB less than 1% with grand increases of a few millionths of 1%. Fear baby fear, there be monsters under your bed.
“His biggest fear is China losing access to cheap energy which would affect the entire world.”
Funny that, the Aussie’s are digging up coal as fast as they can and selling to China while telling their own citizens they can’t burn anything so as to save the biosphere. Russia’s building new pipelines directly into China and one through one of the ‘stans to help with the overland corridor. China is setup for cheaper energy than the west will have for quite some time to come, well after the west implodes.
