Interestingly, that position appears fairly close to the “pole of inaccessibility” - the hardest to reach position in Antarctica.

I suspect this is actually due to the one-child policy. The ratio of men to women is completely fubarred in China. So they’re seeking out our women.

My limited understanding is they use the cells to determine what flavor enhancements are preferred- sort of as a bio-signal device. I don’t believe the cells are contained within the flavor enhancement, but they’re definitely using the output of the cells to determine the effectiveness of the flavor enhancers- so it’s built upon the use of fetal cells, perhaps not in the actual food. At least that’s what I’ve read a bit about the process.

NAC also is liver protective- may be a huge help even if he takes nothing else. (Would be good for him to take NAC if he backslides- wine makers use it regularly.)

Interesting advice all around- I’ve taken Alcar and similar but not for the above reasons. (Not the fellow you asked your question to.)

About f’ing time the housing market tanked. It’s a huge bubble filled with business investment that houses no families. My little small town has over 100 Airbnb full houses available for rent. Makes no sense- unless that’s where they’re parking the family empty houses while they sit on their investment waiting for a sale.

It’s like saying you can’t keep your dollar bills in the cookie jar at home, but must be kept at one of our approved locations. Insanity

After tweaking, results were pretty decent. I’ve experienced worse. A good one to search test is: “Mercola Covid”. Lol. They hate Dr. Mercola. (Not saying he’s perfect, but I find him a good search engine test string. Lol)

Hate to burst his bubble, but EME, or eath, moon, earth bounce has been a fun past-time for a good portion of radio amateurs for quite a while. It’s very straight forward to do with some simple radio setups. You can get more out of it with automation, but none of that is a stretch for the 60’s or earlier.

Yup!! This right here. Is the govt by and for the people, or not? POTUS should have it all if/when requested, and sorry, if he feels the program or agency is unimportant in light of dying citizens starving to death. Lol. I’m sure the clandestine programs would continue spending cash while the rest of us died.

Not to mention that with parallel construction and similar approaches to information, there’s good reason to question every single word that comes out of said agency’s mouth. For all we know they say what they need to say to continue their goals. Are their goals the US citizen’s goals? Or POTUS supported goals? Maybe not. Oversight is necessary.

Had some discussions with Charles Falco who worked with David Hockney on the Falco-Hockney theory of optics used in the Dutch master’s works. Really interesting story about how our perceptions of the old masters are ingrained in the art world, and how the use of the tools of the time can degrade our perceptions of their mastery of their art. The reality is that these tools can help, but can’t replace the artist’s capabilities with use of color and light- their works are still master works, but young artists should feel better about their free-hand limitations because the masters were likely not free-hand drawing to start their work! Falco is very interesting- he also was the curator of the Art of the Motorcycle at the Guggenheim as well as being a scientist by trade.

Loved the video- check out Falco’s lectures about his work on optics for even more fun.

Cheers!

That’s ok- sorry for that! I’m happy to explain anytime. I always tell my fellow coworkers or students in the past: don’t assume I’m right, dig and let me know if I’m wrong. ;)

In this case the environment in the vacuum chamber of the SEM isn’t a perfect vacuum- especially if you have outgassing samples or a lot of organics- when this is the case, you can bake various gaseous things onto the sample with the heat of the e-beam. The ebeam is like an old TV set- the beam rasters back and forth. When we sit zoomed in on a sample, the local ebeam energy is pretty high, and we can bake on material from the gas around it- then when we zoom out, the material we deposited will have the same shape as our view-screen/tv screen because thats where the ebeam rasters across the surface while looking zoomed in. So in this case the fact the rectangle is almost a perfect match for the screen’s aspect ratio, makes me wonder if I’m just looking at “beam damage” or “beam deposition” would be similar phrases. Although damage usually means actual damage and not deposition. Basically it’s not the sample, but what was baked onto the sample. I add it here because this type of mistake ends up making the researcher look silly- even if they have important contributions to make- which is a shame. I’ll try and review the article when I can- working for the man at the moment, but was happy to see a high tech microscope used here. Usually for organics it’s not too common to use SEM- but they have more capable organic compatible microscopes these days. :). So- kudos to the researchers- I just wish they had caught that first image on the left and not included it.

Will definitely need to review the article- one concerning item is the left hand most image is most likely beam deposition from the SEM- when you sit for a while up close then zoom out, the sample can be contaminated with carbon deposition from the ebeam and gas inside. This was often easily seen on a Jeol system I used to use all the time- it even has a point that may be considered a sync position, but the Joel’s beam raster sync was always upper left corner- here it shows lower right corner- but may be a different machine with different scan type/sync position for the beam raster.

It’s a shame the left image above is used, it shows maybe the operator isn’t very up on this technology and artifacts. I only add this as a cautionary point, not to degrade from the discussion- as more eyes on these materials is a very good thing. And I’m sure some of his findings our sound.

Thanks for posting! Will try and view the original article without Js- but I appreciate the added text here! Cheers!

Yeah cause that wouldn’t break the espionage act or anything if the warrant contained classified info. (Strongly suspect this whole thing was a setup.)

Looks like TSMC makes Nvidia chips- they’re building a huge fab in Arizona, but appear to keep their highest tech at home in Taiwan. Interesting if Pelosi is headed that way!

Lol. Saw that desire to fix his papers in a nice orderly pile and drink some water from the dry mouth he just got. He completely avoided ivermectin discussion and moved directly to vaccine distribution and boosters. Rofl

Then to thank “those in charge” for the rain. WTF. A “billion dollar rain” thank you.

Wouldn’t that constitute a public concert? I wonder how much they have to pay RIAA for that public concert. Lol
