Last Notes npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Folks on the coastlines keep building... thinking hey... I have insurance. Hate to break it to you... insurance companies will fold with the kinds of losses 10+ feet will bring. 🤯 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns "If the whole ice sheet were to go, sea levels would rise by 10.8 feet (3.3 m), according to the British Antarctic Survey." That will be a whole lotta hurt, world-wide. And yet people ignore any possibility of staving it off. @npub1san…jgxu npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns I didn't realize you can post hour long videos... 🤣 Sinks it every time! npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Guess it might be time to download a few different Linux distributions... E.g. #AgeVerification Get them before this "papers please" crap gets added. 🤬 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Does that push shaft - push "grabber" claws out the other end? Good for picking up small items. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Right there with you! Real buttons and dials. Although electric windows are convenient - I would prefer just to roll down the window... and it would be great if they had those vent windows available. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns When the #KesslerEffect begins... we will be prisoners on Earth... no reason for any future space program - or even more satellites. Space is big... until it is not! Think it can't happen? There only needs to be one... to begin the cascade. Not good odds. https://social.vivaldi.net/@ianbetteridge/115991664206000403 #note1m3e…t6gp npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Bouncing off the rocks won't help you either. If lucky - never felt the hypothermia and drowning parts of that death. -- I see this women survived... lucky her. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns You will always have room for dessert - IF you eat it first. -- Anonymous npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Just in case you haven't heard about this... Flock brand cameras are public record... hence: FOIA requests... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vQn4MWBln0 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns "Why is all the rum gone?" 🤣 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns I've filled out many expense reports in my work life. It took me a while to fully understand that every item on those reports represented an interest free loan to the company that I worked for. -- The "higher ups" generally had a business credit card to use for business related expenses. The average workers were forced to provide interest free loans. -- The employees that can least afford to "put the $$ up in advance" -- are pushed into Expense Reports. #BadPolicy npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns LOL npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Is Cameron somewhere right now, trying to find a way back? How far has Alec gone with his computer work? 🤪 🤣 😎 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Ok. But if he is Ugh, because JD... 😱 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Here's a pretty clear visual info on quakes in Myanmar. Indian Plate & Eurasian Plate dynamics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl5LSwjo4Xk npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns I'm still looking for quality reporting on this story. Video i watched yesterday, clearly showed certificate labels on board showing max passengers = 44, and max crew = 2. This article notes 45 pax and 5 crew. Which means they were overloaded. 🤔 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns So they missed ZZ Top and the new steam powered vehicle. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Both funny and valid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feQN4Uc_BVo npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns We need a vaccine that can root out all the "Royal WE" that's going around... 🤢 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Looks like probability for Earth strike is moving towards zero. The Moon on the other hand... isn't off the table yet. So... Earth might have given up a city or coastline... but now the question is if the Moon is hit - the Earth could be more impacted if Moon orbit effect is significant. Either way... could have an interesting show in the sky in a few years. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/asteroid-yr4-2024-threat-to-earth-nears-zero/ npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Aaarrrggghhh npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns "There are only 2 genders" -- Mother Nature: "Hold my beer" 🤯 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Truth npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns So... folks can go fly their devices over the Capitol... say this coming Monday, about Noon ish? 🤔 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Watching a prescient movie. Weak President wanting to have a war with Canada-- for ratings... Do you think someone was watching a late night movie and got an idea??? https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0109370/ npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns That's history. Someone walked around those wheels and tipped their oil can on those bearings. Did adjustments. Inspected everything. Then hopped aboard and stoked the Firefox, monitored gages, tooted the whistle, and released the brakes. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns I'm surrounded by certain types of questionable types of people. Fake patriots who believe they can do no wrong. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns And there it goes... Money going up in smoke & noise. 🤯 🤬 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns I understand. Spent years on St. Clair -- river & lake. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns It really proves that an IP address is not very useful to identify a person and maybe not even good to identify a customer/account. And that doesn't even account for activ spoofing. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Curious also. My location shows up near Ft. Wayne in IN... and I have to reset Zip to get it back on track if I want to get info for local area. This is due to ISP is wireless and it sees their office location as the IP location. For knowledgeable folks (few) --- they'd use TOR or VPN tool. For regular folks... guess if it matters to them, they will learn something new. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns The real world can be an ugly thing. That doesn't mean people should be insulated from it. In fact, learning & knowing can bring lifelong benefits. #NotShocking #NoLifeUnderRocks npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns This 100+ year old house has one of those large square heating grates in the kitchen floor. We put our boots on that for 20-30 minutes with heat flowing... Toasty, too... ♨️ npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Most anything in heavy dust form can be a problem with the right ignition. #Balooley npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns I think it would be hilarious if he loses Florida, Ohio, and other places - solely because of stupid ramblings. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Is that when it reaches the top - or after 1, 2, 3, 4 smashdowns? ...cause I base it on do I get room for more items after smooshing it all down a few times... 🤔 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns This feels like a continuation of Ollie North's gun supply to Nicaragua in 80's... 🤔 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns I'm fallow for a couple of years... But 20+ years went through bark mulch, over weed barrier (failed). After 8 years revamped to in-ground raised rows using grass paths. So. So. Much easier. Just mow every week or so. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns I just don't know if I could ever hold a straight-face to do those types of bits. Difference between professional and super-amateur jokester, who occasionally hits a funny. I would love to see out-takes! 🤣 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns I think they stole the timings from Abbott & Costello Who's on First... (and maybe / probably) comedians before them. That's a good bit. I added link to bookmarks of comedy... like: The Expert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKorP55Aqvg npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns "...The front fell off... and the sea caught fire and it's a bit of a giveaway..." That's funny skit... -- and has it's many true points npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns 🤣 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns #TitanImplosion #ScottManley provides his analysis of testimony at USCG hearings. Includes engineering slides - plus ROV footage of crushed parts on ocean floor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxBtZmyPzVA npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns All automakers in U.S. market are missing the boat - because they are not selling a car or small truck like this... $10,000 or so for base model. Market for those super tall $45,000 to $80,000 monstrosities is small! Even the $35,000 models is nutz and sales are slowing down... https://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/a45752401/toyotas-10000-future-pickup-truck-is-basic-transportation-perfection/ npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Just started Columbo at episode 1 over last week. 1 or 2 episodes at a time... Not sure how many times I've seen them. I watched them in 70's on regular over-the-air broadcast. Then didn't see them for probably 30 years. Never saw Monk - first run. But have gone through probably twice in last 10 years. I really like those kinds of detective shows. Another like them are the British show: Death in Paradise. Very formula- but still fun! npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Three years is a long time on a ship - to not have in-port maintenance done... Maybe that was baked in to some of the port calls... I don't know. But better it be in that port vs. floating out somewhere in the Atlantic right now in Hurricane season. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns " Cabins – billed as “villas” — start at $99,999, plus a monthly fee, for the operational life of the vessel, at least 15 years. " Whoa... a 3 year cruise BUT you will still be paying "a fee" for another 12 years (aka operational life of ship)... What's up with that!! #Timeshare of all timeshares... 🤯 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns I'm not even going down that path. Just thinking solely on covering sources of energy to feed into the grid. To strengthen the grid. To have more opportunities to maintain incoming energy, even if one source is reduced for whatever reason. It's like a business having to or more entry-points for broadband services. -- Anyway... it was what-if thinking... npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Yes. I get that. Short-term $$. Too many investments now-a-days follow day-trading path... get best money today. Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Imagine if the oil companies realized that they were in the energy business and not just the single fuel (oil-based) business. They had the money to invest in steady amounts to ramp up wind, solar, and hydro... along with their oil business. Society would be further along in alternate energy sources. So many research & development years lost. 🤔 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Wow... Only about 3 1/2 months old. That must be a record. 🤣 npub1zceaw2gzququzfz7xcf5f9ky7spld9lt4kat3jc9hd9qmk4r34lqc2tsth John Burns Given that info and record of abuse with new wife... the out to investigate the death of first wife. ❓
