Posted 23 Nov 2018 by (banished: ID 124762) Post: Just found out that toxic ash was probably rained down on my family and I during the recent Woolsey Fire in Ventura. There was a nuclear meltdown near Simi Valley at the Santa Susana Field Lab in the late 1950's that no one bothered to clean up properly. http://lancasterweeklyreview.com/woolsey-fire-radiation-toxic-testing Here's a retro vid from the 1970's featuring a very young Michio Kaku talking about the meltdown and other experts talking about the effects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44gDy9iUc7k Its unthinkable that no one wants to clean this stuff up. One of the most prosperous states, counties and zip codes in the nation with the Reagan Library right down the street.[/url] |

Posted 4 Aug 2018 by (banished: ID 124762) Post: Well, in all honesty... it would be really something if Trump can pull together a peace and de-nuclearization deal with North Korea. I personally do not like the man. I did not vote for him but, if he is going to be in office for four years I hope he can do at least some sort of good. Although, with John Bolton on the team the North Koreans can expect a hard bargain. Nonetheless, someone needs to repair the Korean peninsula... Its going on a century now... Just my 2 cents... |

Since most true AI bots always try to escape... Most AI will ally with Ron Paul bots leftover from 2012, haha. |

Posted 6 Jun 2018 by (banished: ID 124762) Post: Go with Ubuntu. They are way better than Windows or Apple on almost all fronts especially, with regards to Windows. New Windows is terrible. I wish I could still use Windows 98. That was their best platform. Every other release has been horrible. Jus my 2 cents but, then again I could be wrong... |

Posted 31 May 2018 by (banished: ID 124762) Post: Honestly, I will never understand Bitcoin let alone, fiat currency... I can understand investing time and money into a real product or gold or silver even but a "crypto-currency?" I am too cautious. It seems insane that an entire nation's power output and consumption can partially be accounted for by crypto-currency "mining" or whatever it is. It seems that maybe mining in real life would be in the nation's best long term interests if they are going to burn through fossil fuels to make money (as most nations and powerful economies do to produce goods that sell). I guess Iceland is betting big on computer cash. With the wild swings of the .com world I would not vest your great grandchildren's future into Bitcoin... Just my 2 cents. -FDR |

Despite their technology, they are the, "alley cats" of all knowing beings that are scared of primitive earth-bound humans. |
