Trump and John Wayne

6/20/26:

Trump could star in his own Western. It could be a re-make of True Grit.

Could you imagine Trump in Hollywood??? lol

May have something in common.

All the experts hated them.  But the public liked them.  Let's see if the experts are right that Trump can't win.

We've had a lot told to us by the experts, but not all of the time is it right.

P.S. Paraphrasing the Duke here: "Everybody hates my movies, except the public."

AGW headache # 122

There's so many of these AGW discussions that I've lost track of the count. AGW is bunk. Debunking the bunk is the headache. But we'll power through the nonsense once again.

The idea for this post came from perusing the weather forecasts. Imagine that! Well, I have this land out in West Texas, and I wanted to check the weather out there. That's when I noticed something.

It was the spread between the forecasted high and low temperatures. Out in the desert, the spread is typically pretty high. Maybe 30 degrees Farenheit.

Since I domiciled in H-town for so many years, this seemed like a lot. Even more to the point, the spread on Galveston Island was typically much smaller.

Is this the typical thing? Yes, I do believe so. I checked many weather forecasts around the nation. It does indeed appear to be the case.

What causes this?

It is most likely the influence of the ocean. Water absorbs energy. The land reflects it back into the atmosphere. Hence, temperatures rise fast during the day, and fall fast into the night where the ocean's influence is the least.

Of course this is true. I noted this when I was a kid. I loved to go swimming when I was a kid. The water felt cold in the morning, but was warm well after sundown in the evening. It was like swimming in soup in the early evening. It takes most of the night for the water to lose its heat.

The significance of this observation:

Water has much more influence over the temperature cycles than carbon dioxide. Where there is much water, there is much more stable temperatures. Where there's absence of water there are wide fluctuations.

In other words, it is the water, not the carbon dioxide. AGW theory posits the contrary. Obviously, AGW theory is bunk.

Crowd at soccer match sings along with Bob Denver song

No soccer fan here. But it is remarkable to me that so many people sang along with the Bob Denver song about West Virgina.

But it was in West Virgina, so maybe that explains it.

It's from that big event going on right now that doesn't interest me much. But this sing-along did.

Cain's Convincing Fla. Straw Poll Win

6/19/26:

Limbaugh and Cain are no longer with us. The Grim Reaper must always be paid.

Don't fear the Reaper... gotta keep a step ahead.

Refutes Press Meme That GOP Nomination Is a Two-Person Race

Herman Cain won the Florida straw poll tonight, winning the votes of 37% of those who participated. No other candidate came within 20 points of Cain 

Cain seems to do a good job expressing himself, as Perry seems to stumble at times.


Here's Limbaugh on Cain:

My goodness! This was on Christmas Eve, 2016. At that time, I was in a lot of pain. Wishbone drove me over to relatives for a Christmas visit with relations. I had to lie down the whole way. I wasn't feeling particular great at the time. Much better now!

But doing things out at the property is a horse of a different color, you might say. I feel much better, but not that much better. We'll see if something can be done about feeling better. I am losing weight from a diet, and on an exercise program to boot. Don't count me out yet.

Things could take an upswing again, and a return to this idea is not out of the question entirely. It will go away when I do. Or if I sell the property.

Returning to the original post:

Another post in the water sub series in the main off the grid series of posts.

An experiment with straws and coffee filters may have yielded a good way to filter water.  Good for my purposes, that is.

I took some rather dirty water and managed to get it much cleaner.  Still not clean enough for the distiller, though.

The water I used was even dirtier prior to this treatment.   I used a bottle of dishwater that had been sitting around for awhile.  Heavier particles had sunk to the bottom, lighter materials settled on the top.  I rigged up a straw with suction squeeze ball thingy to take the cleaner water in the middle.

The straws were then stuffed with the coffee filter paper.  It is rather slow to filter, though.  I suppose I can make a lot of straws to speed up the filtering.

Perhaps a combination of paper and activated charcoal in the straw could yield even better water.

Bzzz. Buzzzzy as a bee.

Posting is lite, I know.

So much stuff to do, and so little time. On occassions like this, a bit more organization is to be desired. If it is desired, then it must be pursued. Once it is pursued, then what?

Don't want to be like the Joker, chasing my tail.   Have plans can be a good thing.  Not into doing bad things.   Know what I mean, Vern?

AI madness

The prices for memory have indeed gone up.

What they're doing these days boggles the mind.

Anyway, Beato talks about the high price of memory because it needs memory to do his videos. The prices have skyrocketed.

Why this craze over AI? Insanity is becoming the new norm.



If that doesn't bake your bagels, get a load of this video from Tim Pool.

Pool notes that AI companies don't make money. But Elon Musk is a trillionaire! Nuts.

These folks don't know what they're doing.
