Interesting question: If the continent of Australia is moving northward toward India at the rate of 8 cm per year, and you own property, don't you actually gain 8 cm of your northern neighbors land while losing 8 cm to your southern neighbor? Year after year after year? On a long enough timeline you end up owning the beach on the southern tip of Australia. Posted by: Divide by Zero at September 25, 2023 04:54 AM (enJYY) 22

Posted by: m Some. I had the stitches taken out of 3 of the 4 incision areas Thursday. One didn't close entirely. I go back Friday to get the last set our and the Doc said it's looking good and will want me to try walking more without the boot this Friday. I told him that I do not have pain and it feels better than it has in years. He suggested some 5 dollar doctor word that means that it could actually be fusing correctly this time and maybe...MAYBE... he won't have to do the surgery to install the hardware that he had taken out (I hope he means new stuff if he does) So, fingers crossed and many prayers are going up at the Bruce house this week.

Posted by: Bruce at September 25, 2023 05:06 AM (vd8XM) Small water pill every other day here. I only drink water and decaf coffee/soda. Sometimes I have to pee three times in an hour, which is quite annoying. You just get finished emptying the bladder, sit down and get comfortable watching some bullshit on YouTube when you have to get up to pee again. And again. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum.

Hey, all,
Back from workout and shower. I've got another slow and intermittent water drip from my bathroom ceiling. This time it lands just behind the sink tap, so I can't put a bucket there. A towel will hold it, I hope, until I can call the office today. Besides that, the local TV stations are warning us in blaring terms about the possibility of salt water coming up from the Gulf into our drinking water. As if I don't already spend more than I should at the grocery, now I have to buy bottled water too, for me and the cats. Tell me again why this is such a great place to live . . .?

Did Octopus Come From Outer Space? New Study Claims Meteor Impacts Brought These Eight-Armed Creatures to Earth
https://tinyurl.com/2uk3pnvc In the 2018 study, titled "Cause of the Cambrian Explosion - Terrestrial or Cosmic?" published in the journal Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, researchers raised the possibility of the octopus and squid coming from other planets. Daily Star reported that Australian researchers led by molecular immunologist Edward J. Steele argued that volcanic eruptions or meteor impacts may have blown away these sea creatures out of their original planets and caused them to travel through space for billions of miles in a kind of suspended animation before reaching Earth. The paper suggests that cryopreserved eggs of either squids or octopuses could have arrived in icy bolides several hundred million years ago, noting that these creatures appear to have some evidence of pre-existence. Scientists said some genetic data from octopuses and other cephalopods provide challenging examples of conventional evolutionary thinking.

When the studies’ results were pooled together, the researchers found that trigger warnings had no effect on subjects’ emotional responses to the material, did not make them likelier to avoid it, and had little to no effect on participants’ comprehension. They did, however, slightly increase subjects’ anxiety prior to being exposed to the material.
“Trigger warnings typically warn people about the distressing reactions they may have but do not explain how to reduce these reactions,” they added. Maybe that is the purpose of trigger warnings in Govt Education to create anxiety and reactions to what should be know as facts. Posted by: rhennigantx at September 25, 2023 06:42 AM (BRHaw) 85

Shaking her finger for emphasis, Waters added:
And they cannot claim patriotism, anymore. We, who fight for the people, claim patriotism. We are the patriots, not them. For the Republicans, patriotism is lost. hey Maxie: Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” Posted by: rhennigantx at September 25, 2023 06:54 AM (BRHaw) 106

Al Sharpton on the lack of gun control:
"We are arming bigots, we are arming people that are not respectful of the United States citizens. All of these people are being armed by a lack of [gun] legislation.” PS He thinks everyone but a few people on MSNBC are bigots. Posted by: rhennigantx at September 25, 2023 06:57 AM (BRHaw) 112

Woke up, looked at my watch, which said it was 2:25. Staggered off to the bathroom, returned, kicked Delilah out of the way and lay down again. Couldn't get back to sleep. Picked up my phone to read until I got tired. It said it was 5:10. My watch still said 2:25. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at September 25, 2023 07:00 AM (MoZTd) 114

G'morning, all.
Well, finally got the Netgear RAX 30 router set up in AP mode to cover the first floor of the house with the original nighthawk upstairs to take care of that floor. Connected via Lan cable and powered switch in the outdoor cable box, so I can add additional AP's if necessary. seems to work better than it did before doing that.

Have you ever heard of this? "The House Problem Solvers Caucus". It's a bi-partisan committee. Meaning it doesn't solve problems, it just comes up with compromises that screw us.

The contents of the email, dated April 7, 2010, reveal that Menendez had already established a back channel through Hunter. It is not immediately clear how or when Menendez’s office began communicating with Hunter’s associate.
So Menendez was using Hunter to get funding for Spain deals. Spanish members include CEOs of the major banks – Banco Santander, etc, Iberdrola, Spanish Rail, etc. Posted by: rhennigantx at September 25, 2023 07:23 AM (BRHaw) 142
