The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released its early estimate of traffic fatalities for 2021. NHTSA projects that an estimated 42,915 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes last year, a 10.5% increase from the 38,824 fatalities in 2020. The projection is the highest number of fatalities since 2005 and the largest annual percentage increase in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System’s history.
Additionally, the traffic fatalities in the following categories showed relatively large increases in 2021, as compared to 2020:
Fatalities among drivers 65 and older up 14%
On the first day of spring and fall the flat earth crowd believes the sun travels over the equator. The heading of the sunrise at Portland, Maine is due East. The simultaneous heading of the sunrise in Santiago, Chile which is South of the equator (but also at 70 West longitude) is also due East. These facts are indisputable. So either we have two suns or the sun is millions of miles away. If the sun is far away then a flat earth would have sunshine 24 hours a day.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, phytohaemagglutinin is found in many types of beans, however, red kidney beans contain the highest levels of hemagglutinin. White kidney beans contain a third as much of the toxin while broad bean varieties contain only 10% as much hemagglutinin as red kidney beans. That's still plenty, however, since you only need to eat four or five undercooked red kidney beans to get sick.
I am so happy to see you spreading the truth about the world here. I have traveled all around it and never saw a curve. However one thing bothers me and I need help to explain it to others.
I get up early and like to enjoy a strong cup of joe while I watch the sunrise. But in the end of March around the first day of spring the sunrise is always from the east. My understanding is the sun is above the equator at that time. So when I have been staying in Canada shouldn't the sun be south? Or that one spring I was in Cape Town I was certain the sunrise would be north. Nope.... it's always due east everywhere I go!
Can you help me out? My brother is an arrogant engineer globetard so I would really like to make him look foolish. The best would be a map with a diagram of the sun with angles and rays, etc. Please help. Thanks!
Just some stuff I have heard over the years…
Microsoft originally marketed a spreadsheet program called Multiplan in 1982 but almost everyone used Lotus 1-2-3 on MS-DOS systems. At that same time Steve Jobs was forced off the Apple Lisa project and was put on the Macintosh team after Wozniak was in a terrible plane crash.
Bill Gates personally flew down to talk to Jobs about his new concept to evolve Multiplan into Excel. The argument was that Macintosh would be a failure without an application and Jobs did not have the resources to develop one in time for launch. Jobs gave Gates a complete copy of the Macintosh specification.
After his return to Redmond the best programmers at Microsoft were split into two teams. One team was to make Excel for the Macintosh and the second team, unbeknownst to Apple, used a copy of the specification to create Windows. Bill’s exact words were allegedly “Copy this!” Microsoft made an announcement in November 1983 that it would have a “Windows” operating system at some time.
Apple released the original Macintosh on January 24, 1984 with the now infamous super bowl commercial. However, it took Microsoft almost two years to finally release Windows 1.0 in November 1985. Bill was so stressed over the late release that he started blocking the entrance to Microsoft with his car to keep developers working at night.
However, eventually Microsoft made a pretty good operating system and had several meetings with Intel on how to take advantage of the Pentium architecture. They did that with the release of Windows 3.1 in 1992 but Intel and Microsoft also found a new problem.
Intel knew processor speeds were going to double every couple years and they hatched a plan with Microsoft to slow down the operating system in certain areas to force users to keep buying computers and new versions of Windows. They also had hooks to slow down computers based on Motorola and AMD processors. This was later confirmed by the Seattle Times and court cases.
As an aside, at that same time the government was contacting every hardware and software company forcing them to put serial numbers into processors, other hardware, printers and images. But that’s another story.
Microsoft knew the spaghetti code of Windows would only take them so far. So when they released Windows in 1985 they also started a joint development with IBM to create OS/2. And of course, Microsoft being Microsoft had yet another team called “NT” to create a new technology 100% owned by Microsoft. Basically they copied all the best parts of Windows for MS-DOS and OS/2 to create a new operating system that is the core of the current Windows versions.
