euthanized population

Today medical insurance companies choose to give coverage to the healthy; allowing them to procreate. Alternatively they deny coverage to those who are seen as less fit, or less worthy to continue to live and procreate. In 1940 Hitler had a similar plan. Sieg Heil Blue Cross.

mmm... delish!

2 Rolls, 4 Cheeseburgers, Double Cheesesteak, Chicken Cheesesteak, Gyro Meat, Grilled Chicken, Bacon, Sausage, Mozzarella Sticks, Chicken Fingers, Chicken Nuggets, Mac N Cheese Bites, Fried Mushrooms, JalapeƱo Poppers, Pizza Bites, Onion Rings, Hash Browns, American Cheese, Mayo, Ketchup and French Fries.


Hey kids, lets put this in our bodies! (Thankfully does not actually have any phospherous chemicals in it.) :


And now ladies and gentlemen, the KFC Skinwhich. 5 layers of fried chicken skin, bacon, and American cheese all wrapped in a bun.


What happens to McDonalds food after it is left for a year? Mold? Worms? Decomposition? Nope, still looks the same.


Like chicken nuggets? You won't after this. This is how they are actually made. Chicken is pureed, then extruded. Because it is crawling with bacteria it is soaked in ammonia, artificially re-flavored, Then dyed with artificial colors so that it's not bright pink.
 


Think you eat a variety of food? You don't. Most of what you eat is corn. Corn is fed to all meat producing animals. Most fast food is fried in corn oil. Corn is a supplement in almost all fast food items. Next time you're in the supermarket check the ingredients. Almost all items have corn syrup listed in the top three ingredients.






Coffee stains your liver and spleen the same color as the bottom of the coffee cup




The phosphoric acid found in cola is so acidic that it can dissolve a nail in 4 days and that's why trucks that carry concentrated cola have to display the highly corrosive materials sign.




Fast foods such as Wendy's, McDonalds, and KFC put several beef additives into their "chicken" menu items including nuggets, chicken salad, and chicken sandwiches.


Jelly beans; who doesn't like 'em. Know what makes them so shiny? Shellac. You know, wood varnish.





Any cheese whose package states it is processed or pasteurized is most likely made from less than 51 percent of cheese The other 49 percent is additives and flavorings to give your taste buds the illusion of cheese.







The perfect product for people on the go; CANDWICH!

The Moon, man, it's like wierding me out.

Okay, so we all learned stuff about the universe in middle school science. But there's still stuff that still makes my brain turn on itself. Like the moon. If you've ever seen the moon through a telescope (I have) it is really triply. Because even though we know all kinds of facts about the moon and we see it all the time, when you watch it up close it is really eerie.  It DOES NOT rotate! Ever! (At least it appears this way) I know we're used to always seeing the same side of the moon, but seeing it creep across a telescope as though it's just staring at you. Creeps me out. Go to the 15 second mark on the embedded video.



See what I mean?
So apparently this is caused by the "fact" that "gravity" is pulling at the moon and through some hokey science called tidal locking "gravity" keeps the same side facing us. Keep in mind this "fact" is the unprovable theory of gravity (we can only observe symptoms of the theory. Which can be explained a dozen other ways. How do we know that objects aren't drawn together from magnetism?(( just to name one)) You can levitate water with magnetism. )
How much do we really know about the moon? Science theorizes that it was an asteroid that collided with the earth, shattered, and one of it's fragments got stuck in our orbit and eventually became round. ??? What? Suddenly believing in magical unicorns doesn't sound so far fetched.
Okay so the moon does rotate. Exactly once per cycle around the Earth. Which is why we always see the same side of the moon no matter where you are on the Earth.
And this is apparently caused by  friction braking from gravity that misshapes the two planets as they pull on each other? Then why don't all the planets do this around the sun? Why do other planets and their moons act differently?
"Gravity", hah!
Some people theorize that the moon has more iron on the side facing us, thus that side is magnetically attracted to the Earth. Sounds a lot more plausible to me.
I'm not so sure about this gravity business. If we know that the further up you go the denser the atmosphere is (more pressure), then why couldn't objects be pushed down from the pressure rather than attracted to the Earth?
Einstein proved that gravity exists by studying how light bends towards large objects, then why does light travel AWAY from the largest object in our solar system? Shouldn't stars be in themselves black holes? If gravity is real and the larger the mass, the greater the friction (heat); the more gravity it has, then shouldn't suns attract light rather than produce it?
Think about it.
Why aren't feathers attracted to each other as they float down? If you put several objects suspended in water shouldn't they float to each other and stay attached to each other? When astronauts are in space why do they float away from the craft? Shouldn't their proximity to the larger mass attract them to it? The more you think about gravity the more ridiculous it becomes. Obviously there is something else at work.

Career Oportunity

I just spent the last four hours applying for jobs at Loews and Home Depot. I went to both stores only to find out that both of their computer systems were down. So I went back home and applied online. My brain hurts. So many questions! On the Loews website you have to re-apply and go through all the questions for each position you apply for! It takes forever. Home Depot is a lot more streamlined; you check all the positions you want to apply for and then go through their application process only once.
My current job is just fine, and I will actually be taking a pay cut, I just don't want to stand out in the freezing cold again for one more winter. Fingers crossed.
Now I get to go mow my lawn. It's almost dark already. Last mow of the season. Big smiley face!

Cure for Complex Migrains (so far for me )

Complex migraines are not headaches. They are a temporary loss of higher brain function. For most people this includes partial loss in vision (a white spot that gradually grows to cover half the vision over both eyes), a loss in the ability to read, write, form sentences, or the ability to recall long term memory. All of these symptoms typically last for 20-30 minutes. A Complex migraine may include one or even all of these symptoms. After these symptoms have passed, the Complex migraine is followed by one to two days of nausea and headaches (which is why Complex migraines are commonly confused with migraines.
I started to get Complex migraines in high school when I moved from the Philippines to America. In college I went to see an optometrist who prescribed eyeglasses for my astigmatism ( even though during my whole life my vision was a little blurry and I had very little depth perception I had always tested better than 20-20 vision so I just assumed that everyone had bad vision like me) and told me to stop drinking coffee. This reduced my Complex migraine occurrence from every other day down to once a month. By eating more regularly and sleeping more, I reduced the occurrence even more. What I didn't realize until recently was that my Complex migraines all but disappeared whenever I would go overseas.
Recently, my Complex migraines have been occurring more.
Out of some random chance; last month I fasted a lot of junk food including foods with corn syrup (high fructose or otherwise). Since starting that fast my Complex migraines have ceased.  Accidentally I ate a food item (pop tarts) which contained corn syrup. Instantly after eating them I had a brief Complex migraine.
Suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks. Corn syrup. That's why my Complex migraines would go away overseas. Soda and other foods are sweetened with cane sugar in other countries. It's only in America where everything is sweetened with corn syrup. I have gone back to eating junk food, but still avoid corn syrup. No Complex migraines yet.
Corn syrup bad. Stop messing with nature you stupid Americans!

The Latteral Movement of Money

Working in the service industry has opened my eyes to an interesting and unsettling phenomena. The majority of people who tip are those who also work in the service industry (because they understand the importance of tipping). Which means that money does not trickle down. It only moves laterally. Which is probably why we are all poor.

Free Renewable Energy For The World

Before we get into it, let's first briefly discuss where we stand with energy production. You'll see the importance of this later. Almost all traditional usable energy is created the same way. A fuel source (coal, plutonium, or natural gas) boils water. The water turns into steam. The steam rotates a turbine which creates electricity. Some renewable energy systems function the similarly (such as wind farming) and others, like solar energy, are simply direct energy to energy transfer.
None of these forms of energy production are necessary. We have a perpetual motion machine (a machine that powers itself. No fuel source is needed. It simply moves on its own). In fact, we have a monstrously gigantic perpetual motion machine. So big in fact, that it can power all the electrical needs of the entire planet. And here is the punch line: it is a planet.
Our Earth constantly rotates on its axis. This constant motion creates tangible electromagnetic energy. Hold a compass in your hand; the needle will spin around and eventually always point north. This is a visible symptom of the electromagnetic energy created by this perpetual motion machine we live on called Earth.
So how do we harness that electromagnetic energy into usable electricity?
A scientist by the name of Andre Geim won an Ig Noble prize for levitating a frog through electromagnetism by using Tesla coils. How was this possible? You see water can be levitated with electromagnetism, and frogs have more water in their bodies than any other creature.
Okay, here's where it all comes together. Remember at the beginning of this blog when I discussed how electricity is traditionally created? A machine causes water to move. That movement pushes a turbine which creates electricity. If you haven't figured it out yet I'll spell it out for you.
We live on a gigantic perpetual motion machine that creates electromagnetic energy capable of levitating water. That levitating water could push a turbine which would create enough usable energy to power the entire planet until the end of the world. Which is in about six minutes from now. So grab some peanuts and a couple of pints of bitter. Drink up!

Teleportation the Improbable

The obvious intro is that teleportation is at our present time impossible. Here's the hook, it's also unfortunately improbable. This is not to say that at some point in our future we will not invent/understand the technology that makes teleportation possible. I believe that we will. But, even when we do find the means to “teleport”,  that ability will still be improbable.

The theory of teleportation that I am about to totally diss (that's how kids talk these days right?) is the classical theory of teleportation (like on “Star Trek”), not to be confused with quantum teleportation (like in the film/book “Event Horizon”; which is the bending of space, a quantum state, in order to “step through” the black hole, or rift that has been created between quantum states.)

Although both theories run into the exact same issues, the classical theory is the easiest to discuss in layman’s terms without having to also break down the pseudo-science/math behind the theory. So, all probability issues can simply be transferred over to the quantum theory, as well as time travel; which falls into the same category of travel/movement through quantum space/time. Sorry that was way too geek even for me.

Put simply, the reason that teleportation is improbable is because everything in our 3-Dimentional world is in constant motion.

At its equator the earth is rotating at a speed of just over 1,000 miles per hour, and at the dead center of our poles does not rotate at all or maybe just a little (this is all theoretical, we actually don't even know if gravity is real). As you travel from one pole to the other, every single point on the earth is traveling at a different speed. (We don't notice this as we walk across the earth because of the scale of it and the speed that we are able to move across it) In contrast, if you were to fly in a jet plane the ground beneath you is moving either very fast or very slow depending on which direction you are traveling in. This is called "ground speed" and can very in the thousands of miles per hour from your "air speed". In other words our earth is not flat and is in constant motion.

To be exact it takes 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 04. 09053 seconds for a single point on the earth to make a full rotation around it's own axis. No matter where you are on the earth this is always true. In contrast, depending on how large the circumference of the earth is where you are currently residing (your position from the equator) determines the speed at which you are at this moment traveling. Still following me?

In addition to that the earth rotates around the sun at an average speed of 67,000 mph, which varies depending on the time of year; caused by the fact that the earth varies 4 million miles in its distance from the sun during the course of each year because of the oblong shape of its path. On top of that the earth is also slowly moving away from the sun (as far as we know) so that the earth takes an additional 4 minutes each consecutive day for the sun to reach the same place in the sky. The earth is also moving along with the sun and other planets around the center of our galaxy, and our galaxy itself is part of the milky way which is moving through space. That's as far out as our science now knows about the universe. It could be much bigger.

In a nutshell everything in the known universe is in constant motion at all times in just about every conceivable direction and never at any constant speed or position (and on the larger universal scale no object ever crosses the same path twice). ((Fwew!))

Now comes the complicated stuff.  (sarcasm)

 Let's say you were inside a car driving down the freeway at 70mph (yes I know we all drive faster than that on the freeway, but let's just pretend). What would happen if you were to suddenly jump out of the moving vehicle and onto the ground beneath you? Splat, right? Simple high school physics. An object in motion will want to continue to travel in that same motion.

The theory of teleportation insinuates that when you jump from one quantum state to another both quantum states are of the same mass and traveling at the same speeds and in the same direction. In theory this sounds great. If you were in that same car driving 70mph traveling down the freeway and were to jump into another car traveling at the same speed and in the same direction; no splat.

But lets recall what I just explained about the universe (ah, now it's all coming together). Teleporting in actuality is like jumping from one vehicle going 70 mph into another vehicle going 1000 mph and traveling in a different direction and both vehicles are constantly moving away from each other. Very big splat, if you can even manage to land in the other vehicle (good luck)! And this is just teleporting from one place on earth to another place on earth! Now Imagine teleporting to another celestial body, like our own moon, that doesn't rotate on an axis at all. (For serious! You should try looking at the moon through a telescope. It will trip you out! It never rotates.) That's like jumping onto pavement from a vehicle going 1000 mph. Pretty much you'd just fly off into space. Forever. Like forever! The universe is that big.

Remember that our earth is not just rotating it's traveling through space, and the path that it travels on is itself traveling, and that as well is also traveling on a larger scale as well. Any volunteers to do the math in order to calculating the exact location of both; where you are, and where you are going to be "teleporting" to in terms of where we are in the known universe which is in constant unpredictable motion? I didn't think so.

Even if we were able to calculate where to teleport someone, if we were to be off by just .000000000000000000000000001 that someone would end up halfway inside the earth (as it rotates through space into the position that had once been calculated as a landing spot) or turned into an experiment on Will It Blend (yes pop culture references!), or flying endlessly through space (if the ending location is rotating at a different speed than the point of origin).

Do we even know the exact dimensions of the universe to even be able to chart our location in it? Before you can state with any acuracy where you are you have to first fully understand what it is you are in. That's like a molecule floating around in the Atlantic Ocean pretending to know where it is on earth.
