"The images that come from La Coruna, in Spain, they are impressive. There is a laundromat where an ordinary customer, after finishing what he had to do, comes out. A handful of seconds pass and a dryer that was running explodes, blowing everything up. A matter of a few moments and it would have been a tragedy.
According to what was reconstructed by the local press, a customer would have put his clothes in a dryer, but would have accidentally forgotten a clipper, a charger for lighters, inside a pocket, which overheated with the heat of the machine, triggering the explosion." https://news.italy24.press/world/437435.html Posted by: SMH at what's coming at April 05, 2023 07:39 PM (eZw+I) 39

I used to want to see a tornado. After seeing at least two so far, well...
Once when one went sailing right overhead while I was talking with the firefighters at the Ohio State University airport (which then touched down at Morse Rd). And the second time when my wife, the inlaws and I were eating at Fleming's Steakhouse in the North Dallas/Plano area and it went sailing past the window on the north side.

May 31, 1985; Eastern Ohio, Western PA, Western NY got hit with a cluster of tornados. Don't recall how many (30+). Some stayed on the ground for miles. If you know the terrain of Western NY and PA, that's remarkable. I saw my first tornado then. It was a bit too close to the church van I was in. Thankfully it missed us.

An ordinary Bic type lighter could make such a blast.
A triple flame "torch" type lighter, would be the more likely culprit, as they tend to have a tank 2x to 3x the Bic size, and most are charged to a higher pressure than the Bic. Either way. The heat in the dryer caused the glues that hold the lighter together to fail. The fuel leaked out and ...(this part is VERY key to the size of the blast)... MIXED with the AIR in the dryer. Then something sparked the fuel-air mixture. Might've been a metallic part of the lighter nicking the metallic drum of the dryer. I doubt the native heat of the dryer achieved flash-point, but the heated gas mix was *this close* to going off at the merest hint of a spark, and so, most emphatically, did.

US Hegemony financial and otherwise is based on a part of our sub fleet's ability to destroy Saudi.
That meant US T's were the reserve asset of choice for the world. And USD was currency of choice. If the US is no longer Hegemon. Then the above two change. Btw, it already happened. And Gold has become the reserve asset of choice for States and Financial Entities. That's why CHN and RUS et al and JPM have been buyiing phys gold. It started a few years ago. Now, how to deal with all the offshore USDs coming back and the lack of foreign buyers for USTs is the real problem the drcisionmakers are dealing with.

Daniel de Visé Wed, April 5, 2023 at 5:00 AM CDT·6 min read At some point in the not-too-distant past, a new car became a luxury purchase. The average price for a new vehicle hit $49,500 at the end of last year, compared to $38,948 just three years earlier. Skyrocketing interest rates pushed the average monthly car payment on a five-year loan to $723 in March. walk you fuckers Posted by: uncle handsy Joe at April 05, 2023 07:54 PM (BRHaw) 101

Nearly as many Americans believe someone close to them died from side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine as died from the disease itself.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 11% of American Adults say a member of their household died from COVID-19, while 86% answer no. Ten percent (10%) say a member of their household has died whose death they think may have been caused by side effects of COVID-19 vaccines, while 85% say there were no such deaths in their household.

Bic lighters withstand more than cheaper lighters. I've had cheap lighters blow up in my car, leaving plastic shrapnel everywhere, but no flames. Most likely because there wasn't a dryer burner (open flame) running in the car.

Was in a TV studio co-located with a 1000 ft tower in WNY. Saw people gathered around the front doors on the security cameras. It was lunchtime, only around 15 of us in the building. Went out the back door to see what everyone was looking at. Sky looked like a bruise- purple, green and black. Then I saw the tornado - about a quarter mile away and heading towards us. Went back in and got in the PA - "Everyone come to Master Control!" We all gathered, held hands and prayed the Our Father. Transmitter hiccuped, lights flickered and that was it! Tornado diverted before it got to the station. It looked like a biggun to me, but ran through nearby yards with minimal damage. I was sure it was going to bring that tower down on our heads.

He describes how he would hang out with his guy friends and not feel like one of the guys, etc etc. What he was trying to say basically was, "I don't feel like a man." So he's implicitly defining womanhood and femininity as a sort of void or vacuum or absence. "I don't feel manly ergo I must be a woman." That's some really interesting...and really fucked up...reasoning. I wish I was a psychiatrist cuz I bet you could kick that around for weeks and buy a nice little boat from all the billable hours.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr
The Fed just announced it will introduce its “FedNow” Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in July. CBDCs grease the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny. While cash transactions are anonymous, a #CBDC will allow the government to surveil all our private financial affairs. The central bank will have the power to enforce dollar limits on our transactions restricting where you can send money, where you can spend it, and when money expires. A CBDC tied to digital ID and social credit score will allow the government to freeze your assets or limit your spending to approved vendors if you fail to comply with arbitrary diktats, i.e. vaccine mandates. The Fed will initially limit its CBDC to interbank transactions but we should not be blind to the obvious danger that this is the first step in banning and seizing bitcoin as the Treasury did with gold 90 years ago today in 1933. Watch as governments, which never let a good crisis go to waste, use Covid-19 and the banking crisis to usher in a new wave of CBDCs as a safe haven from germ-laden paper currencies or as protection against bank runs Posted by: andycanuck (Vwz3I) at April 05, 2023 08:49 PM (Vwz3I) 285

We can't go back a thousand years to watch vicious storms sweeping across the Great Plains that dwarf anything we see today. Oh, and windmill farms may be altering the climate more than we think...

One of the things to keep in mind with tornado statistics is that a) more and more area has people in it. b) weather radars are better and have more coverage c) the world is now FILLED with video cameras on phones. We really don't know if there are more tornadoes or if many in the past simply went thru a field someplace and were never brought to statistical attention.
Posted by: azjaeger at April 05, 2023 09:28 PM (3/XaG) Friend of mine used to fly pipeline patrol in Alberta. he said he saw numerous tornado tracks out in the Forestry Reserve, a wiggly line of downed trees. Tornadoes that were never reported because nobody saw them, and they petered out before getting to a populated area. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at April 05, 2023 09:33 PM (tkR6S) 358

What is the reason your cat licks your face? 1. It's showing affection by way of social grooming. 2. It's predatory behavior and is taste testing you to check if you've reached peak deliciousness. 3.

NBC Debuts New Show 'Law & Order: Falsification Of Business Records Unit' NEW YORK, NY — In order to capitalize on the current focus of New York City prosecutors on offenses related to business record keeping, NBC has announced plans to debut a new show titled Law & Order: Falsification of Business Records Unit. "This really falls in line with the show's tradition of creating hard-hitting programming that is, as we like to say, ‘ripped from the headlines,'" said NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell. "Why should we waste time with Law & Order shows that deal with minor stuff like murder, organized crime, sexual assault, and other totally insignificant cases when we can go after the big stories like inaccurate business bookkeeping?"

For most of 2018, I lived on Hyde St. between Golden Gate Avenue and Turk Street (edge of the infamous Tenderloin neighborhood). Drug dealing all over the place all hours of the day and night. However, I never felt unsafe and this included late at night/early morning when walking 2 blocks back from the parking garage where I parked my car. However, Hyde St. was one way (south) and had a fair amount of night traffic from the northern parts of the city and, which may be surprising, but the throngs of Honduran drug dealers actually kept the physical danger to a minimum because it was bad for business. I suspect that Bob Lee was either involved in a rando drug deal gone bad or was in an isolated area with little foot traffic at 2:35 a.m. and some crazy or just plain bad-dude-with-a-knife came upon him.

I had chicken pox as a kid, so I am already infected, right? Don't see how a vaccine can help.
I guess my best bet is try and stay healthy. Posted by: vmom Yes, the Chicken pox virus (herpes Simplex) will lay dormant for years, and can, under some conditions, come back for adults as shingles (herpes zoster). I got them when I was 40 years old, and infected my (now) ex-wife and oldest son (who was about 8 months old with Chicken pox. The covid vaxx seems to trigger shingles often. Bad cases of shingles. Posted by: Thesokorus My BiL got the Covid Vaxxine, and then got a booster, and then got shingles...for a year. He was in pain for a long time. His doctor was actually honest enough to tell him he was "vax injured". Posted by: A face in the crowd...... at April 05, 2023 09:36 PM (tjZg/) 365

This linked article is for 1974. I lived about 14 miles from Xenia, Ohio. As part of the Wiki article says, about half the city was destroyed. And it was really never rebuilt. There is still years later, a lot of empty places in the town. It was a an F5, and although 32 people were killed in the tornado, they were lucky that it was not a lot worse. Whole housing subdivisions were literally destroyed. Posted by: A face in the crowd...... I was in the Navy in San Diego at the time. One of the guys on our ship had a girl friend in Xenia and was talking about the National Guard patrolling. I was from Louisville and when I got back home got to see all the missing trees in the parks mentioned in that article. Or at least I saw where they used to be.

Oh wow! I was in Englewood during the Xenia tornado. We had hail at my house and the storm knocked over a two-story pine in front of my elementary school. I will have to look at the article. I do remember my family driving by part of it.
I was visiting my dad about three years ago and a tornado came through at night. Fortunately my hotel was cinderblock so I felt pretty safe but it actually went right down I-75 and came pretty close to where my dad was. Only one person died though - a man who had to bed and a tree fell through his house. Posted by: Iris at April 05, 2023 09:44 PM (foa6+) 383

"Upon passage of H.R. 2435, the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve are given 24 months to publicly disclose all gold holdings and gold transactions, after which time the Federal Reserve note “dollar” would be formally re-pegged to a fixed weight of gold at its then-market price."
