The weather never bothered me. There were plenty of sunny days. It's way too dry here for me.

I appreciate your hard stance and we here at Patrick love your input and looking at the time here at work, you've helped me to burn the last hours of my Friday workday away and I am appreciative of that...

You should see the crap he has posted on the other 9/11 forums posted here. You would have less reason to compliment him.

That's pretty laughable given your posting history on conspiracies. You're an individual who believes Sandy Hook et al were hoaxes, that 9-11 was a giant unseen and unheard demolition job, .... You post nothing but crap on here. I'm one of the very few people on here still bothering to read the nonsense you post. I enjoy the comedy value.

The Professor says

ten!

I recommend ignoring Bigz. He is either a troll, ignorant, or so in denial that he believes office fires can melt steel.

No, I believe office fires weakened the steel just like all the researchers with scientific qualifications who examined what happened. Notice the difference: melt vs weaken. It really isn't that difficult even for you. Are you now also denying that heat can WEAKEN steel (along with believing that silent and unseen demolitions brought down three buildings)?

The mere fact you make a post like that shows that YOU are the one doing the trolling, 'Professor'.

And I guess that you are also going to ignore Bgamall seeing as he tops the list of people ignored on this site.

Anyway, Bgamall makes me laugh. Your brand of stupidity just irritates me, so I'll help you and me out by putting you on ignore and saving everyone from a complete rehash of your 9-11 nonsense that you seem to be fishing for. Bye.

That's probably because you are a professional dancer and have endorphins coming out of your ears. I do agree that the Bay Area has become very dry. I plan on visiting Portland over the summer and stay for a few weeks.

Not sure.

I know that a kitten gets a saucer of cream in heaven whenever an A-10 Warthog tags a police cruiser with a burst of 30mm depleted-uranium discipline.

Anyone who thinks the government can't do anything right should go to YouTube and search on "A-10 Taliban Hideout". Holy Living Fuck. Giving Freedom to Afghans, good and hard.

all I can say is 'Hope you like the rain'.

we (California) can do with any drop of rain that comes by.. crops, grapes, and population... we have lots of reasons in need of more rain.

Er, you were claiming they were definitely the same person in the other thread.

Unlike a bought and paid for person like you, I react to new information. I only go with the things that cannot be debunked, like Kaitlin's lack of tears, white eyeballs, and wiping the fake tear.

It was all staged. And that is what is important. On the other hand, we can show you side by side videos of WTC7 and an imploded building and you can't see that they react exactly the same. The speed of descent is exactly the same.

Or when we show you squibbs coming out of the towers, or witnesses to explosions on the lower floors, you just can't adjust your wooden brain. But like pinocchio, I fear you also have a long wooden nose.

Thanks for the laugh. People went through all this in the other thread and you still denied it. You are still not clearly stating that they are different people. One of the major points of your hoax nonsense is clearly and irrefutably wrong and yet you STILL don't come straight out and admit it. It's a perfect example of how you DON'T react to new information that disproves your arguments. You squirm about to an unbelievable level denying the blatantly obvious, bullshitting on about fake tears etc. etc, and even when backed utterly into a corner, you are still seemingly incapable of facing up to the truth of the matter. That woman was NOT an actor. She was a school teacher at Sandy Hook. Just admit it. The fact you don't says everything that needs to be said about what you actually do with information, new or old.

And go back to the original thread on this and read through the responses to me and others you posted. Look at what you said. Look at how utterly wrong you were. Now take that and apply it to everything else you post on conspiracies and you might finally be able to escape from the fog of idiocy that you've been consumed by - you know such things as your supposed (randomly placed) squibs, which are clearly nothing more than the expulsion of debris due to downward pressure from internal collapse. It is YOU who is incapable of looking at events logically and scientifically. You have imprinted your conspiracy beliefs over everything you see and it entirely corrupts your perspective. Everything you see has become entirely filtered and warped by your religiously held beliefs.

bgamall4 says

OK Bigs, what do you have to say about the Lavon Affair. Do you deny the Lavon Affair, the false flag by Israel, admitted by Israel, against the property of the US in Egypt?

It happened in 1954. It was admitted to in 2005. Zionism has always been mean to the USA.

Oooohh, they've been mean to the US. In 1954.

And why do you keep asking me questions if you want me to go away? Come on admit it, you don't. It would be just like your blog if I did stop responding. Complete and utter silence.

Does god laugh when I fuck you peasants in the ass?

I suggest you immediately put together a NSF grant proposal to find out. Sure science funding is tight but this, THIS is exactly the type of question science exists to answer! Any grant review committee will break out into spontaneous applause upon reading just the abstract.

There could even be a Nobel prize in it.

How many realtors can dance on a pinhead? I prefer to think of all of them dancing on the sharp end.

I will have my dancers do a rain dance. It was been far too dry. My garden is pretty dead looking. The farmers are getting nervous and we are going to be on drought restrictions this spring for sure.

OMG, it's just so mean to blow up a couple books without hurting anyone in 1954. The US has never recovered from this outrage. It has affected generations of Americans thinking. You know if you really looked hard on the internet I'll bet you could find something even more obscure to be outraged about.

How does it feel to be the weirdest person on the planet?

This one single line sums up your ignorance on the subject.

However, I would not be too worried as 99.9999% of the population are with you.

It's basically filling in a screen and sending it off.

Your proof that I'm wrong consists of what exactly? Feel free to show me your intimate famliiarity with the design of healthcare,gov. Yea right, that will happen right before the sun goes supernova. I won't hold my breath. It's a web page. Fill in the information and pass it along to be processed. I was doing that in CICS in the 70's for christ sakes. The concept hasn't changed. The insurance companies did all the actuarial back end work. That's where the heavy coding is.

You remind me of when Jesse Jackson wanted to be mayor of DC and Al Sharpton said "The only thing Jesse Jackson knows how to run is his mouth".

curious2 says

Regarding the "Information is Beautiful" codebases graphic, I'm amazed by the statement that the "average" high end car has 100 million lines of code. By that metric, Healthcare.gov has fewer lines of code than a fast food drive-thru lane.

I don't find that surprising at all. Cars have 50-100 computers many of them doing complex real time processing. http://spectrum.ieee.org/green-tech/advanced-cars/this-car-runs-on-code I am surprised that software can be 30-40% of the cost of a car in the high end.

Depression on its way

p=1228603&page=2#comments

OK, let me get out my calendar. Let's see, breadlines by when? How 'bout April 1? That's got a nice ring to it. And riots by June 15.

It really is nothing to joke about. The snap to worse times will be quicker than anyone predicted.

Speaking of old predictions - you want to go back to this summer when you were all hysterical about us seeing some sort of epic decline in Case Shiller values?

/?p=1228603&page=2#comments

Good point, I can feel the bull market energy all over the place. Hope you don't own stocks or houses. Get ready to be crushed. Better make sure that job is as secure as you think. It'll be a perfect trifecta if you are let go at work as well. Don't be surprised as many will.

Oh, I could go on and on about how numerous industry giants with intimate knowledge of the requirements of a system such as healthcare.gov, with it's need to interface with thousands of patchwork insurer subsytems, each with their own set of security/speed/efficiency/bugs to deal with, have doomed the government version to hell.

But why bother taking the long road, when Occams Razor succiently covers the details.
for why a piece of software that, as you screetch, consists of "basically filling in a screen and sending it off", has been deemed inoperable by anyone and everyone, and must be rebuilt from the ground up.

For whom are we to believe, the Bill Gates / Larry Ellison's of the world, or little bobby2356 from PcMatic dot dickhead?

Occam's norelco suggests you have crabs in your beard. Time for you to break out the hydragel...

I'm not joking about the real-life agony that results from deflationary crashes and the depressions that result. I'm making light of your "johnny one note" repetitions. But I give you credit for persistence. In truth, it's all you have so far, so you'd better stick with it. So, one year or six years, does it really matter? Just stay the course and eventually you'll be able to claim victory.

It has always been not a question of "if" but of "when". The time is now from all the indicators I am seeing. Bottoms up. Drinking will keep us sober as our wealth gets destroyed in the quake.

There has never been one fiat currency in history that has not bankrupt it's country.

Will it be mad max or a dystopian state? Probably the latter unless we go back to a commodity based currency.

RentingForHalfTheCost says

The time is now

Yeah, OK, but you've hung your hat on "now" again. If it doesn't happen now you'll just go back to saying "wait some more". It's not that I/we think you're totally full of shit (there are plenty of things to be worried about), but you'll take ANYTHING as the sign of the beast. You can see how it gets old and tired.

Sure, but now is now. Expect a 500-800 drop in the DJIA this week. If I had any stocks left to sell I would use my right to sell. 100% cash baby and loving it. Good luck to you and your foolish ways.

sbh says

If foolishness were my only failing I'd be too rich to have time to mess about with the likes of you! But, nevertheless, if we don't lose a net 500-800 Dow points next week you'll be put down as a bounder and a scofflaw. Considering my hedges, I win either way.

A drop of 500-800 is the best case scenario. That drop comes with the expectations that the Fed will have to hold an emergency meeting to say they are not only backing away from the taper, but are adding 10B+ a month for the indefinite future. Screw it, it is only money they wills say. As long as the Chinese keep buying our faux bonds things are great. P.S. don't scare the Chinese, they think we are the best thing since sliced bread.

The hills have eyes.

I watch the Resident Evil series, which also helps with physical preparedness: thanks to the scenes with Milla Jojovich I now have a right forearm like a steel 4x4, and a grip that can crush a shot put into powder.

Also, don't neglect amateur surgical skills, whether it's stapling your own leg back on, or popping an eyeball back in after it has been sucked out by a zombie:

I've seen this firsthand "in the wild" so to speak. Its not for the faint of heart.

Not sure how effective they are on zombie bites but really, what do you have to lose by trying.

WOW! The UNtrustworthy are certainly in control of what information is apparent to the people!

Say hey! This was in the Wall Street Journal on March 30, 1999. Note "... how much it will buy."

Holy cow/interesting/compelling ...!

And where is it up to date??? Right here ... see the first chart shown in this thread.
Recent Dow day is Friday, January 24, 2014 __ Level is 108.1

WOW! It is hideous that this is hidden! Is there any such "Homes, Inflation Adjusted"? Yes! This was in the New York Times on August 27, 2006:

Clearly Reagan's administration accomplished a lot but not for the people. He presided over a hostile occupying force that arose to "starve the beast" gifting taxpayer money to business: the code word for that is "stimulus" and anything for the infrastructure and the people "socialism." He represented the most unpatriotic of forces imaginable which we still have trouble unseating from power.

Its simple.. your side failed and has failed miserable via Govt programs
that became too big and way out of control. You might poke fun at him today, but lets face it.. you havent had any kind of Economic policy to call your own since Kennedy. Think about it... what is your Economic policy today ? Obama ? Hilary ? There isnt one...

finehoe says

Reagan switched the federal government from what he critically called, a “tax and spend” policy, to a “borrow and spend” policy, where the government continued its heavy spending, but used borrowed money instead of tax revenue to pay the bills. The results were catastrophic. Although it had taken the United States more than 200 years to accumulate the first $1 trillion of national debt, it took only five years under Reagan to add the second one trillion dollars to the debt.

you forgot to mention, added 20 Million new Jobs which in turn allowed Federal Tax Revenues to increase... so your rant over borrowing is useless.

Well, in comparison to infusing raw garlic, on an open wound, I'd take the maggots.

I only saw Mad Max. It taught me that they will still have lots of anabolic steroids after the cannibal anarchy apocalypse, but not much gas.

That won't stop anybody from driving gas guzzlers like fiends, I guess it's in the DNA.

Yes: Even in the post-apocalyptic desert wasteland, there are fully-equipped weight rooms in which the nomadic biker gangs lift for 4-5 hours each day. You don't see them in the film because they're just over the horizon.

They need the gas to drive from gym to gym - they make time for fitness even in the face of the daily timesink of raping, pillaging, and disciplining wayward lieutenants in assless chaps.

Maggot - feeds on human flesh

Zombie maggot - feeds on human flesh

What's the difference?

Regular maggots only eat necrotic i.e. dead flesh, they would like the zombies.

That's why they are good for wounds, they debride infected, dead tissue, but do not touch living tissue.

Maggot zombies eat living flesh, just like the regular zombies!
