Birds (not real) and Snake Venom in the Water (COVID)

Ugh … lunacy keeps going.

This is the latest loon video/conspiracy ‘theory’ regarding COVID (which is pretty much no longer an every day topic). Snake Venom in the public water system. A few bullet-points to keep in mind on this one:

  • He’s a Chiropractor
  • COVID is a virus, not a venom
  • “Do the opposite of what the CDC tells you to do” speaks for itself
  • Typos in text overlays (“thier” vs “their”) – small detail, but detail
  • “Scientific Points” in the video from a TV Show

Oh – and Birds (not real) … check this out.

Vaccines and Batshit Crazy Idiots

Over six months now and we have enough data to realize that the vaccines seem to be working. It just blows my mind that we still have these loons out there screaming about being tracked, it’s not ‘tested’, it alters DNA, school the libs, m’uh freedom, etc. Really?

Been wondering a lot (too much) about this lately and just think most of those who are ‘anti-vax’ are just scared of getting a shot. Yes, I really said that. But I digress.

Here’s a great example of the idiocy (from a freakin’ RN, mind you) we are seeing (if you don’t want to click – RN screaming about vaccine conspiracy. Now she’s dead – from COVID). It is just really disappointing. Sad.

By the way – 96% of doctors have been vaccinated … RNs 53-74%. Hmm. Science, yo.

One Day (man, I hope it’s soon) we will look back at this crazy stuff and just realize that science was -and always will be- right. In the meantime, Due Diligence.

Facebook/Twitter news is just destroying us.

Ugh.

Um … so vaccines slow the virus? Yes, apparently.

Jesus, folks. Get Vaccinated!

[BTW – my wifi is AWESOME since I got my 2nd dose]

COVID Viral Evolution

If there ever were any questions or doubt regarding human evolution, there is one argument for its logic occuring literally under our noses.

I need a Corona?

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted … whatever.

Today is a day within a week and month where I (and I’m sure you) say … WTF?

Feels like 9/11 to some extent. I’m not panicking – just feels like the world is, right? Where is the grip?

Umph. That’s all. Umph.

Curious where this all goes …

Stay safe – sanitize those hands (jeez – mine are dry. Yours?)

I get my annual bonus check in 15 days … dumping in stocks. BOOM!

Science!

Elon Musk is awesome: This is the first test flight of the F9R and an amazing moment for his ‘other’ company (he leads Tesla, as well): Reusable rockets are the holy grail of rocketry.

This Just In: 1 in 4 Americans are Idiots

This article frightens me …

Apparently, 1 in 4 Americans think the Sun revolves around Earth. Additionally, 52 percent are creationists.

Today, I’m flabbergasted and confused.

Isn’t this 2014?

Voyager’s Message from Earth

Ran across this collection of 127 images that are currently on the Voyager, which has been traveling in space since 1977. It’s pretty incredible to think how Carl Sagan and the gang had to sit in a room and contemplate just what exactly we could use to portray our race of beings to another, interstellar neighbor – who may only come across these artifacts thousands if not millions of years from now.

Roundabouting with Roundabouts

Rio Rancho, being a relatively “new” city, is still under heavy development. Sure, with the economic slowdown of the past 5 years, there has been an affect; however, as things improve the activity is beginning again. There are large, clear swaths throughout the area that I know we’ll start seeing development on soon enough.

One different element that we have seen here is the prominence of roundabouts at intersections nearby. Roundabouts are kind of newer concept with many Americans … and you can tell when you see many of the local drivers approach them. Some stop. Some hesitate for minutes. Some just barrel through them – straight over the top (you can see tire marks where this has happened). Even the press has make it plainly obvious of the disdain roundabouts experience in comparison to the traditional 4-way stop beloved by Americans.

But here is why roundabouts are superior, as evidenced by the guys at Mythbusters – putting some science to the topic, yo.

We Need a Faster Ship

So scientists have found yet another earth. I think this is the third or fourth this year. Don’t get me wrong – this stuff is pretty neat to read about. One thing is clear, however – science and technology must progress to somehow change interstellar travel.

Regardless, this stuff is pretty neat.

+2 for Science

It has been an intriguing week for science … First, NASA is saying we have found evidence of water on Mercury. And most interestingly, the infamous Pat Robertson was on the 700 Club this week challenging James Ussher’s proclamations on and very basis of Creationism:

Wow.

Go Science!
