    I think it would be interesting to compile a list of how the unreliables scams work in each country.

    E.g.

    -In Australia, the subsidy harvesters get to skim off the top of consumer electricity bills.

    -In the US they harvest tax credits.

    Etc..

    Spare a thought for those poor souls in that lost minisub in the North Atlantic.
    Sure, they are undoubtedly cashed up million+ airs ($250k USD per ticket? )..who put themselves into this situation…. but they do not deserve to suffer this .
    Apart from the ultimate lack of oxygen, CO2 will be building up and If on the sea floor, the ocean around them will be near zero C , and other than personal clothing, its unlikely they have heat or light (power loss ?)
    .even if they somehow have reached the surface, they cannot open the sealed hatch from inside), and they will be tossed around like in a washing machine since there is bad weather there.
    If they are not rescued in the next few hours , they face a slow , cold, suffocating end .
    Hope for a miracle .

      Yes, it was a high risk adventure but I hope they get found. But the rescue options are extremely limited. I think a likely scenario is that they got entangled in some debris, likely swept into it by the strong currents known to exist around the wreck.

        No GPS, possibly no communication, perhaps zero visibility and 4.2km down?

        In WWII they were limited to 100 metres, 300 feet, crush depth. Nuclear submarines can make triple that at 300m which is amazing. 30 atmospheres.

        But I have real concerns that the hull is not tested. If only because that is not possible in a laboratory. From what I read it was tested only to 1200 metres but they need 4200!
        Each ten metres is an atmosphere. And the implosion would be instantaneous. Even a tiny leak would be a disaster. It’s a long way to the surface, 4km up.

        And 420 atmospheres! 10 tons/square metre x 420 or 4,200 tonnes per square metre? Maybe 100,000 tons total compressive force on the sub. In old measure 14 pound per square inch x 420 or 3 ton per square inch!

        I hope for the best but this will likely be misadventure. And the owner knew it. The design engineer who pointed out the faults was instantly dismissed. It should not have gone down without testing and demonstrated total reliability.

      Missing ‘Titan’ Sub Carrying Tourists to ‘Titanic’ Faced Lawsuit in 2018 After Employee Voiced Alleged Safety Concerns

      The safety of the tourist submersible that went missing on its way to the site of the Titanic has allegedly been a matter of concern before.

      The Titan, carrying five passengers to the wreckage site 900 miles east of Cape Cod in the North Atlantic, went missing on June 18, according to the First Coast Guard District’s official Twitter account.

      The excursion was part of OceanGate Expeditions — a company that hosts a “Titanic Expedition” to the historic site — and according to court documents obtained by The New Republic, a former employee had reportedly expressed concern several years ago about the sub’s capabilities.

      British rescue mission for Titan ‘blocked by US officials

      A remotely operated vehicle capable of winching the stricken submersible Titan out of the Atlantic has been blocked from joining the rescue mission by the US government, The Telegraph understands.

      A team from deepwater specialists Magellan Limited has been waiting to leave an airport in the Channel Islands since 7pm on Monday, but approval for take-off has yet to be received.

      Given the nature of their disappearance, the odds of survival are virtually zero.

          Maybe youshould understand that the owner is one of those on board !.
          ……and that this sub has done this dive manytimes before, without major incident.
          …however i amstunned that there is no safety system on board to locate the sub if something like this happens

    Shane Warne’s Death Precipitated by Covid mRNA Vaccine Say Leading Doctors

    Leading doctors have concluded that the death of legendary Australian cricketer Shane Warne was likely precipitated by the Covid mRNA vaccine that he had taken approximately nine months prior to his sudden cardiac death. His post mortem findings revealed coronary atherosclerosis.

    Cardiologists Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Dr. Chris Neil, who is President of the Australian Medical Professionals Society, have concluded that the Covid vaccine can cause a rapid acceleration of coronary disease especially in those that may already have undetected mild disease. Dr. Malhotra has further concerns that the Covid mRNA vaccines may be masking angina by damaging heart nerves, resulting in patients not experiencing the chest pain that typically precedes a diagnosis of severe blockages in the heart arteries, leading to detection not occurring until it’s too late, with the first symptoms often presenting as a cardiac arrest.

        They are not “anti-vacc” in general but are against medical and scientific censorship about covid vaccine safety and efficacy issues, compulsory vaccination as we had in Australia and restrictions on treatment options for covid.

        Given we’ve seen doctors lose their right to practice or face disciplinary boards for not reading from the approved Govt covid script; do you think it’s more likely these doctors would speak the truth against the narrative or lie and risk losing their ability to practice simply to further an alleged anti-vaccination cause?
        If you wish to condemn on the basis of a perceived motive rather than use medical evidence you have to at least weigh-up the incentive to tell the truth and not just a motive to lie.

    Afternoon all,
    A pretty cool morning in Mudgee this morning, -6.9 recorded at the airport. Not a record, but not common. But two of my devices stopped charging this morning several hours after the minimum:

    My iPad stopped giving a message along the lines of “Charging has been suspended and will be resumed when temperature returns to normal”. It didn’t, although I’ve not chased their defintion of normal yet. It was probably more than an hour before I noticed. For want of something better to do, I turned power off and on again and charging continued with no further problem;

    The other was my (older) Android phone, which also stopped charging , but without any message. In fact it lost some power even with power turned on to it. For this one, the power off and on again trick didn’t work, so I put it into the sun for 10 minutes, reconnected it and away she went!

    I didn’t do a control experiment with CO2, and I don’t have a measure of my inside temperature.

    Cheers

    Louisiana Is Pushing Digital ID. The Personal Data Of All Drivers License Holders Have Just Been Breached.

    The State of Louisiana has experienced an extensive data breach, with six million public records being exposed. The breach was a part of a global attack on the third-party file transfer application, MOVEit. The breach is likely to raise further concerns as the state recently introduced a new law that is increasing the uptake of digital ID – a law that forces adult websites to check the age of all users, with many wanting it rolled out to all social media platforms.

    The personal details of every license holder in the state has now been exposed in the breach.

    Over the past few years, Louisiana officials and their vendor, Envoc, have been working on the development and implementation of digital driver’s licenses and wallet programs. These programs have included the storage of biometric information related to various licenses, including driver’s and fishing licenses.

    According to reports, the Clop ransomware group is behind the Louisiana breach. Although not specifically targeted at mobile driver’s licenses, one can’t ignore the gravity of stealing such sensitive data, especially in a state pushing digital ID.

    Oklahoma and Louisiana have been steadfast in rolling out mobile ID programs for close to two years, where these digital documents play nicely with Apple’s and Google’s wallets. Louisiana’s zeal, which led to the issuance of 2.5 million digital IDs, outpaced even California. This breach will hopefully fan the flames of concerns regarding the safety and confidentiality of personal information, which are cornerstones for public buy-in for digital ID programs.

      Yes, let’s all go to digital money and worldwide digital passports with vax status. Terrific idea. Let’s give all our information to governments, because we know they will have tip top security systems and no-one would ever breach them. Don’t worry, the WHO will oversee the world digital health passports and there’s no way they could be dominated by any one person or any one country. (extremely heavy sarcasm button).

      Gee! I think I recognise some of those old toilets from my 24 weeks working in China back in 2005-6. Seriously, very few toilets in offices or public places would flush and buckets were provided for the purpose, an additional bucket was provided for the toilet paper as the sewerage system could not cope with human waste and paper. And these people can launch satellites and send a rocket around the moon!

    We have been watching Black Mirror lately. For those not familiar its a modern version of Twilight Zone or Outer Limits. A selection of short standalone stories with a science fiction, fantasy or just plain weird bent, by an assortment of today’s creative generation.

    We have noticed that technology is not viewed kindly or positively in these productions. It is nearly always the bringer of problems/evil/disaster. Maybe just my perception i guess, for many younger people their window on the world is through technology , so yes good and bad comes that way. Maybe there will be some happy episodes further in.

            Two senior Department of Homeland Security officials told NBC News on Wednesday morning that it’s more accurate to describe what was heard overnight in the search for Titan as “sounds” or “noises,” rather than “banging.”

            The distinction is key because banging could indicate the sound was human-made. Further analysis was done after an internal government memo was sent out that was cited by several news outlets Tuesday night, and officials determined they can’t characterize it as banging.

    “SOS” is pretty basic:

    Dit dit dit, Dah dah dah, Dit dit dit; ad infinitum. The specific “in danger” code was contrived for utter simplicity, a LONG time ago.

    I have not used Morse for decades, and in the rare events I used it, I was NOT operating at “professional” speed”. Real speed demons used “keys” that used a finger and thumb in “dual” mode, rather than the traditional “vertical” key.

    Morse may be a “lost art”, but it is possible to work Morse (via a carrier wave or crude “spark-gap” transmitter), through hideous interference and deliberate jamming, unlike voice and data transmissions. SLOW but sure. Another lost art that just might save lives.

    As for “Voice” comms: Every man and his dog knows about “Mayday” calls for “immediate danger”, but how many know about “Pan, Pan, Pan” for lower-level “issues”?

      The high-speed Morse keys were generally called “bugs”, due to the shape of one popular version. Don’t know how they managed to count the number of dots when sending or receiving at high rates – I can’t even count the four dots in “h” at 6 words/min.

    JC2 tip for the day – Youtube quality for tv’s

    I’ve noticed of late that video quality is crap even for 1080p or 4k/8k videos.
    Apparently Youtube have configured “auto” mode resolution to 360p. ie videos now default to the lowest resolution.
    That’s no doubt their way of pushing people into the paid premium service.
    It can’t be changed to select the highest resolution by default.

    To fix:
    When playing a youtube video, hit the up button on your remote and go to the settings gear symbol far right, select it, then select the “quality” option.
    You’ll probably see auto set to 360p.
    I changed mine to 1080p. Exit and the setting is saved for all videos but you may wish to change it for 4k/8k videos.

    Note too that video quality may be dropped in cases of ISP load.
    ie bandwidth throttling.

    IMF Announces Single Global Digital Currency in Push To Eliminate Cash

    The head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has announced that the global body is “working hard” on the development of a single “global” digital currency.

    During a presentation at a conference in Morocco, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgievahe announced the plan to introduce a universal Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

    The announcement comes as governments around the world seek to shift toward a cashless society and eliminate physical cash altogether.

    According to Georgievahe, the IMF plans to roll out one single digital currency that will be accepted globally in an effort to “connect countries” and make transactions “fairer.”

    She continued by declaring that CBDCs need to be interoperable between countries because “If we are to be successful, CBDCs could not be fragmented national propositions.”

    “To have transactions more efficient and fairer, we need systems that connect countries,” Georgieva continued.

    “In other words, we need interoperability.”

    Last year, Biden signed an executive order to seize control of cryptocurrencies and lay the groundwork to turn America into a cashless society

    D-Glucosamine: Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 Replication and Infection

    A Letter to the Editor was published on Tuesday which showed that a very common, safe and readily available supplement was very powerful in inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 replication. It does this by increasing the expression of the ever-important Interferon. As readers may be aware, it has readily been proven that defects in Interferon response are a critical factor in the development of severe COVID.

    As far as safety is concerned, the authors noticed no cytotoxicity regardless of dose of D-Glucosamine given. At the same time, it was observed that D-Glucosamine also inhibits INFECTION.

    However, a finding the authors gave but one sentence to, I believe could be an indication that D-Glucosamine may help those with Long COVID and Spike Protein induced afflictions.

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41392-023-01483-8

    Glucosamine is a readily available OTC supplement which aids in maintaining healthy joints and has benefits for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
    Available in sulfate or HCL forms or combined with Chondroitin for extra punch.

      There’s only one way to prove that it’s safe and effective. If the MSM completely ignore it or present experts to debunk its supposed efficacy. When you know the stuff is really efficacious is when big pharma decide to fund some sabotage trials. Give the trials fancy names and run them in South American countries. Then you know, for sure, D-Glucosamine is probably active vs COVID as a treatment. Well, that’s if the last 3 years has taught me anything.

    Clucking hell – Dire warning of ‘huge egg shortage’ for Aussie supermarkets

    Aussie shoppers are being warned egg prices will likely double in coming weeks and supermarkets could see shelves emptied again.

    The Smoked Egg Company founder and CEO, Julie Kos, told Today there was an oversupply of eggs during the pandemic and farmers were forced to cull a lot of their chickens.

    And after a recent salmonella outbreak on breeder farms, new chicks are hard to come by.

    With more Aussies wanting to make the ethical move to free range instead of caged eggs, Julie warned this will likely lead to there being no eggs on the shelves at all.

    “I’m a free range egg farmer but I really believe that Australia won’t be able to feed the masses if we get rid of the caged system,” she said.

    “The production rate is not with the cage system and if we look at what happened in January this year – New Zealand went to cage free and had absolutely no eggs on the shelf at all.”

      So the expert states we had an oversupply during COVID, we discussed it on this blog as a shortage of eggs.
      Me thinks it’s a bit of an advertising ploy, never heard of their product but they know how to get free advertising.

      Mineral oil? Assuming that doesn’t mean engine oil I can only think of vaseline.

        This doesn’t help much, I know nothing of “water glass”.

        The old classic method of preserving shell eggs for long periods without refrigeration was to dip the eggs in water glass (a solution of sodium silicate in water). This would make the shells airtight, preventing oxidation and (most) bacterial growth, and allow shell eggs to keep for several weeks at room temperature. Combined with refrigeration below 40 F after the water glass sets, this ought to keep eggs in Grade A condition for at least three months by preventing the drying that otherwise takes place in a refrigerator.

        BTW, this is the same effect as coating them with mineral oil, only the water glass can’t soak through the shell and won’t flavor the egg if a piece of shell gets into the contents when you break the shell. Water glass is also a bit less permeable, so should last longer than oil coating.

          “I know nothing of “water glass”.”

          Not uncommon still, although less used than in the old days. The basis of muffler cements that expand then set hard under heat, its a thick, clear liquid that slowly dries out to a hard glass. It will very slowly re-dissolve in water.

          An industrial product, $16/L for ceramic work, I’m sure no-one preserves eggs with it now.

            My neibour used to preserve eggs in a bucket of waterglass…many years back !
            We have a few chooks in the back yard, and the local chook expert (eggspert ?) advises not to wash or clean the eggs as the notural coating from the hens acts as a sealant and prevents the oxegen ingress ….extending storage life.

    The earliest sunrises and latest sunsets do not necessarily coincide with the longest day, June 21st in N. Hemisphere and long ago I read that this was because the planet is not an exact sphere. But I think there has to be more astronomy involved in this

    https://www.thoughtco.com/longest-day-of-the-year-1435339

    Though it might seem like the summer solstice would also be when the sun rises earliest and sets latest, it is not. As you will see, the exact dates of the earliest sunrises and latest sunsets vary by location.

    Los Angeles, California

    Earliest Sunrise: 5:41 a.m. from June 6 to 17
    Latest Sunset: 8:08 p.m. from June 20 to July 6
    Longest Days: June 19 to 21
    Hours of Daylight on Longest Day: 14 hours and 26 minutes

      I believe that, it’s not so much that the Earth is not an exact sphere, it’s more that the Earths orbit around the Sun is elliptical.
      Happy to be put right.
