Actually, you misplaced the decimal, it is more like 0.3 percent and quickly approaching half a percent globally, which is certainly significant. In most of Europe the death rate is well over 1...
Too much rudeness on this thread methinks...
The only question I have is this:
Is the CV19 hoax a hoax? And if the CV19 hoax turns out to be a hoax, who is the hoaxer and what is the benefit to...
The classic movie, Metropolis, had a pretty good depiction of what they saw as the dangers of a self-emergent, cannibalistic and self-destructive industrial, technological utopia. In the movie they...
Yeah, there are similarities for sure. Both are due to overuse of fresh water resources in a desert environment. The disappearing Aral Sea is an awesome (and terrible) sight to behold. I once flew...
As a side note to the below article, my elderly neighbour was called up this week and was offered the Chinese, Sinopharm jab, but she refused it. She is waiting for another vaccine to come along....
It's not capitalism per se, but industrial civilisation in general. If anything, socialist economies are far worse for the environment than market-governed social democracies. The Soviet Union was...
Yes, true, but technology has amplified it and made it so much worse than before. Only a question of time until AI bots go out there looking for wrongthink and "cancelling" people on the spot for...
The trouble, the way I see it, is that the internet and social media have regressed us back to the middle ages, except the entire English-speaking world (emphatically not the whole world) is one...
It's not such a big deal, but I was a member on an occult forum that had some pretty interesting discussions, with my particular interest being mythology, religion, gods and goddesses, spiritual...

Not very, unlike you enjoy spending a week on a train, looking at pine forests and flat grasslands... At least, so I'm told. An Aussie friend of mine did the trip from Moscow to Beijing via Mongolia....
Oh no, the Lizard people got you too!!!

It was incredibly annoying when I was lying in hospital seriously ill, hooked up to oxygen, with double pneumonia and my girlfriend at the time still insisted I never had covid and it was all just a...
The Intriquing thing is that Elon Musk lives in Austin, Texas now, he is the king of Megabattery projects that make money exactly through the aforementioned spikes in Energy demand, with their quick...
Things have gotten weird in 2020...

Yeah, but the problem is, you can't really use electricity to stay warm, at least not en masse and on a long-term basis. There is a reason colder countries and states burn stuff to keep warm, that's...
You really don't fit the Finnish mold very well, my friend :eyebrows:
Which reminds me of this old joke about Finland and Winters:
+15°C / 59°F
This is as warm as it gets in Finland, so we'll...
That doesn't sound too cold for Finland. My friends from Jyvaskyla tell me that it regularly dips below -30c in central Finland.
As a matter of fact we just had record low temperatures in Hungary...
Deagel, which is a more extreme version of STRATFOR, a geopolitical forecaster of some renown, has updated their 2025 forecast for the economies and populations of most countries, with the west...
