Re: OT: Covid

[Paul Stenquist]

A prophecy has been passed down through the ages via twitter and Facebook. On 
August 15, the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, hundreds of 
thousands of believers will assemble on the National Mall. A brilliantly lit 
cloud will appear overhead and begin to gradually descend. The believers will 
fall to their knees. When the cloud has descended, a figure will emerge from 
the mist: the Orange God — the diseased manslut — the antithesis of a blessed 
virgin. The believers will chant, “MAGA, MAGA, MAGA!” The orange one will pass 
gas and pick his nose as the assembled masses cheer. He will then be seated in 
a gilded sedan chair and a dozen hairy men with american flags tattooed on 
their foreheads will carry the portly philanderer to the white house. 
Legislators and government staff will flee before the throng, recognizing that 
armageddon has come, and the sweat-soaked studboy will once again assume his 
rightful place behind the resolute desk. So it has been written, so it will be 
done.

Re: OT: Covid

[John]

Why would I need to confirm it. It's just something odd I noticed. If you want 
to confirm it, find your own voices.


If it was signal processing in the brain it wouldn't go away when I change 
position in the bed.


I wouldn't have noticed it at all if it wasn't just at that one spot and only at 
certain times of the day. It's almost always between sunrise & noon, except for 
when it's late, Late at night.


Whoever owns the radio/TV sometimes has insomnia as bad as mine.

The pattern is what intrigues me. Talk interspersed with music that sounds like 
commercials & occasional (laugh track) laughter.


Also sometimes there's more than one voice like they're having some kind of 
on-air conversation. Whoever has the radio/TV is doesn't listen to the same 
station all the time. I can hear a difference in the musical interludes.


I've been told by audiologists that I have particularly acute hearing, well 
above average (even after all those years in the Army).


Hell, there's got to be something about me that's above average, and I guess 
hearing is it.

The good news is that this might be fairly easy to confirm.  I don’t know if 
the mic of your cell phone would be sensitive enough to pick up the sounds, but 
it might.

There is also the case that the human brain is amazing at filtering signal out 
of noise. Unfortunately it is so good that it can find signal where there is 
none, so there might just be some noise that is close enough to be like speech 
that your brain thinks there is speech there for it to filter out.

Re: recommendations inexpensive printer for wondows 7 (was wanted epson.. etc)

[P. J. Alling]

I don't think you can find non-wireless anything anymore.

I have a Canon Pixma ix6520, which was replaced in the Canon lineup with 
the ix6820, almost immediately after I bought it.  The ix6820 is selling 
for $175.,  most places, and I assume that the wireless connectivity can 
be turned off, because it has USB connectivity as well.  I know it has 
drivers for Win7 because they are the same as for the ix6520.


The printed results are pretty good, as it's a CMYK system, though they 
don't advertise it as a photo printer.

Re: July PUG is up

[Bill]

Thanks Paul, Stan and Daniel for liking my picture this month.

It wasn't the picture I wanted, but it was the picture I got. I had 
wanted to be on the other side of the building and do a hopefully not 
too cliched sunset shot.


Unfortunately, there had been a whole bunch of rain in the few days 
prior, and when I drove onto what passes as an approach road (read dirt 
path), my truck bogged down and started to sink. Deciding that 
discretion is the better part of valor, I backed out before the truck 
got totally swallowed and drove back to the highway to hopefully find a 
view that worked.


I hadn't taken my really long lens kit with me, as my intended picture 
would have required a wide angle. Consequently, even the 70-210 was 
really too short, as the structure is quite far off the highway. I could 
probably have used my 600mm lens for that picture.


Being the dumb dumb that I am, I left the back door of the truck ajar 
while shooting the picture, and the cab filled up with mosquitoes, so I 
spent the hour and a quarter drive home fending off the little 
bloodsuckers..


When I opened the file in Camera Raw, I processed it using the new 
Enhance tool, taking the file up to 144mp and then did a fairly deep crop.


I think, all things considered, that it worked out fairly well.

thanks again

bill

It must be nice to believe that after centuries of warfare, slaughter,
espionage and bitter hatred between our countries, our political systems and
our economics methods these great men and women, our leaders, their
assistants, civil services, militaries, media, medical, financial and legal
establishments, have finally put aside the incompetence, greed, infighting,
jealousy, personal ambition and overweening pride and egotism that have
previously been their defining characteristics in order to cooperate
selflessly and in secret to carry out the most spectacularly complex plot in
history with the greatest success imaginable so that they can secretly track
the rest of us as we go about our business of eating, sleeping, fucking,
farting, spending money on junk, and watching hours of shit on the TV all day
and all night.

Fortunately one man has cottoned on to their demonic plan and will save us,
because he selflessly has all our best interests at heart. Won’t be long now
before President Trump is at last reinstated.




It's hardly a secret that *THEY* can track any individual they find to be "of 
interest".


They don't track everyone. They don't need to. But they CAN track ANYONE.

If you somehow end up on their shit list, they can track you and they can 
backtrack you. Hell, the Panopticon was invented in the U.K.


I've read there are more surveillance cameras in London than there are in the 
whole rest of the world. Computers and data storage get cheaper every day.


How do you think they figured out who the two guys who attacked Skirpal were? 
... and how the attack was carried out?

PESO: Monarch Condo

[Daniel J. Matyola]

My most recent endeavor in raising Monarch butterflies was a group of
larvae from Monarch Watch.  Since the previous brood had devoured the
smaller potted Milkweed plants, I used my largest net cage for the new
fellows, who were very tiny upon arrival.

In addition to some smaller potted plants and some cut foliage from plants
growing in our yard, I placed a fairly large potted milkweed in the cage,
and left it there the entire time.  There didn't seem to be as many
chrysalises  as I had expected clinging to the top of the cage when all the
larvae had metamorphosed.   When I removed the large pot from the cage, I
discovered the reason:  a number had decided to hang their chrysalises on
the side of the pot, rather than climbing to the top of the cage.
Actually, there was one more than shown in the below image;  I accidentally
knocked one off as I was removing the pot.  I placed that one on some paper
towels, and it will probably still develop into an adult butterfly.

I was somewhat amused by the manner in which they all crowded together on
the pot, instead of spreading out as they usually do on the top of the
cage.  That reminded me of a little condo development, with all the units
close together.
