Last Notes npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet So who is the power doing all this? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Amazing what a few thousand feet of elevation will do. You are prepared! Often underestimated in the summer by the unprepared who look up and can see the peaks on a clear day. “What could happen?” For the uninformed, the standard lapse rate is 3.5 deg F per 1000 feet. The dry adiabatic rate is 5.4 deg F per 1000 ft. (In dry winds). Take away sunshine in clouds and it can be quite chilly! npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Strange how Trump, the fossil fuel king, could be the main reason why there’s a switch to alternative energy sources now in the US. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Ours is actually a help since it helped wash away some of the smoke we’ve been getting from Canadian wildfires…skies were almost dim yellow 2 days ago. Really weird. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Bunch of outages in NH…I didn’t even expect any T-storms in the forecast today but…surprise! npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Some people just don’t get it. Just like they’ll still keep driving big SUVs. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Just wait till the orange Ghost of Immigrants Future visits you-know-who. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Megyn Kelly needs a tour of farms, fields, meat processing plants, restaurant kitchens, hotels to show her who is doing the real work behind the scenes. Kind of like a visit from the Ghost of Immigrants Work Ethic Present, as in a Dickens story. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet We have lost every inch of ground gained in the 1960s. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet I thought it was a big concrete pool, like a concrete swimming pool, sealed with epoxy paint. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Will we realize that there is a climate problem but too late to change the course? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet More like an immature child with no frontal lobes to understand consequences of his actions npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Any real corporation with this many failures on a government contract would have their contract cancelled for technical incompetence. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet But don’t always assume that passing through the portal puts you in the same physical and temporal location on the other side. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Somewhere in the past we lost all of our “trusted foundry” capabilities. All because of the need for more profits. And they suckered us in. Probably doesn’t matter anymore. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Will we be here surviving in 2029? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Maybe we should all stop government funding of war instead. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Time to spread false information about where protests are to be held and watch them chase wild geese. Nothing could be more frustrating than hundreds of troops with nothing to do but pick up roadside trash. Must be great for morale. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet But would Trump be arrogant enough to think that he could just throw a few bombs and missiles at Cuba and the population would welcome him with open arms? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet You forgot to add Exxon/Mobil et al npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet They are great at spin and making bad news sound like nothing bad is happening. Lies with a candy coating that’s addictive npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet This is scary stuff. It is just more realization that elections are being planned, bought and paid for, when either choice has is the same result. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet So now we see some political repercussions in Europe. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet #SilentSunday npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Did you expect anything different? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet This round, they’re targeting non-citizens, npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Which is why the situation is urgent. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Perhaps antifa is an idea, not an organization. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet While I’m sure that Schlossberg has qualifications, his lineage to JFK shouldn’t have any “star power” affecting election outcomes any more than someone showing bloodlines to either Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln or even Donald Trump. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet But when you have an executive branch that doesn’t uphold and defend the Constitution, what’s left? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet And he might be right. I beginning to think that with a spineless Democratic Party and a court system slanted towards MAGA, there aren’t many options, other than regional division, which might occur anyway if things continue to spiral downward. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Not exactly rocket science. Just mimic what people who lived there for thousands of years found what works well. Don’t try and build something that doesn’t belong there and then think you can install a massive HVAC system to offset the poor design. Sure you can use some modern building techniques or materials but don’t depart from the basic design elements that make the structure work well in its environment. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet It points to retailers jacking up prices at every opportunity to increase profits and perhaps absorb the impact of tariffs on their profits. Consider that tariffs are charged on the wholesale value at import, not the retail price. Basic math-a 30% tariff added to wholesale price shouldn’t result in a 30% or more increase in retail price if everything else stays the same. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet So how does Trump explain the increase in prices of domestic products on the chart? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet A statement like “You’re destroying your heritage” sounds like it comes from the mouth of a racist. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet again, a dystopian view of society: “you’re here to work, to produce. When you can no longer work, if you’re sick, disabled or just old, the machine doesn’t need you. So you die: we don’t need to feed or care for you because you no longer serve a purpose.” npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet loyal workers for the machine who will not rock the boat of conservative christo-capitalism npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Understand the seven mountains concept NAR wants to control: npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Freedom of the press is the right of journalists and publishers to disseminate information and opinions through various media without government censorship or interference, a principle protected in the U.S. by the First Amendment. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Sticking “Gulf of America” on a map doesn’t allow us to claim it as territorial waters! npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Good question that we may never know the answers to. But why else would the US military suddenly point their resources in that specific direction. They usually don’t intercept drug boats until they’re closer to the US, not the southern Caribbean. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Maybe it’s time for the International Criminal Court to charge Trump with human rights abuses and now murder for the Venezuelan boat sinking. Put out an arrest warrant on him just like Netanyahu. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Unchecked lethality? Those sound like words that inspired the UN, in an effort to ensure that something like World War II never happens again. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet I respectfully differ. Given the diversity of the American people and the “have it your way” attitude, without a leader to pull us out of this mess and counteract the “so-called puppet leader” on the other side, we would have chaos and lack of clear purpose and direction, which is how the Republicans defeat us: divide us into dozens of special interest factions and conquer. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet That last sentence is the key. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet At least H Ross Perot knew which end of the chart was up npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Funny he didn’t know about the raid but already accused Bolton of being “unpatriotic”. Gee, is there a legal definition for that or do we reach back to Sen McCarthy and J Edgar Hoover for that? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet All the makings of corporate-run dystopia, designed to: npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Why do they get everything they want and we the people get nothing? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet #SilentSunday npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet So a high school valedictorian and Ivy League graduate can see the obvious through the fog of the BS we’ve been fed in the last 4 decades that healthcare becomes unaffordable. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet They speak furbish, and were banned by the NSA (LOL)! npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Should have known that these things were just the beginning of the end for humanity, once they started talking. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Ever notice that the 30-33% number always seems to match the percentage of diehard Trump supporters? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Weasel Words npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet #lepidoptera npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet So, displace the people that for generations, have had a right to be there? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet When a billionaire came up with the idea, and called it DOGE. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet This is big. It’s about massive tankers of orange juice, airplanes from Embraer and coffee. We’re about to get a realization of what we use that comes from Brazil. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet “safer”? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Everything has an impact one way or another. A desalination plant has to do something with the salt super salty brine process water that has to be diffused back into the ocean somewhere. Then there’s the energy it consumes (option for solar or wind power). npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet There’s always a desalination plant option $$$. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Probably going into the comprehensive database that Palantir is building for the administration. One that will rival anything that the East German Stasi files or J Edgar Hoover files ever had. And it will likely contain much more than just immigrants DNA. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet It is admirable from an energy standpoint but I’d like to know how much the temperature of the river downstream is raised and what the impact is on algae, fish and BOD especially in dry summers when river flow is lower. It might be negligible…but how much? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet The administration will spin protests as something destructive, incited by outsiders. Excuses to send in troops to “protect” the public and government agents. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet 1984 was one of the books Republicans tried to ban in Iowa. And Huxley’s Brave New World is on many lists in Texas. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet So does it become easier when more people realize that everything in life is not black or white but exists in various shades between the extremes, even changing back and forth over time? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet He doesn’t know….the Emperor has no clothes…He’s a puppet that flounders in a TV interview where the questions go above 3rd grade. Who’s really in charge? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet There isn’t a whiteboard large enough to draw all the interconnections beware Trump and most of the corrupt politicians, Israelis, billionaires, fascist dictators and dark forces out there npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet The complexity of how our brains develop cannot be quantified by a simple study that samples thousands of individuals. There are infinite permutations of DNA combined with as many developmental and environmental factors that shape each of our characteristics, abilities, personalities and other “ilities” that we can’t even measure yet. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet And that’s the scary part. At what point does he begin to think that everyone else in the world is his enemy (except work-wife-musk)? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Ever wonder if this is just demented revenge on the business community and the country in general for his multiple business failures and bankruptcies? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Whatever happened to the Geneva Convention? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet So if you refuse to work, what can they do to you? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet But other than the distraction factor, why could Trump want Greenland? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Trump doesn’t understand the impact of these moves at the system level. California harvests, picked fruit, midwestern farm labor. Eastern restaurant cooks, waiters and dishwashers, hotel service providers. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet #silentsunday npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet How not to make friends. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet ZELENSKYY: Realistic? Russia is stealing our land, executing civilians, and kidnapping our children. What part of that should I be realistic about? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Such a dealmaker. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Very amusing to watch President Macron correct Donald Trump’s lies and distortions about how Europe vs the US was providing funding for Ukraine. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet #SilentSunday npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet And what does the US have in their pocket to negotiate from a position of strength? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet OMG. Literally the red carpet. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet This is a sinister way to keep education only in the hands of the privileged wealthy. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Truth is often stranger than fiction. And more frightening. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Which means those thugs have access to all the personnel records, doesn’t it? npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet When you consider the number of people impacted by the fires in California, the value of property that is now in ashes, the cost of rebuilding coupled with Trump’s lack of concern and compassion, it would be an interesting challenge to the US banking system if most of those people just walked away from their mortgage payments. npub1u9yey6n0sw24pmd990q3veyqf2ap6kv7f3fufu2f0vawtc6m90xsrupqt8 bouriquet Seriously?
