Problem those keys will leak and become public. It happened with physical keys, it will happen more easily with binary keys that can be just copied.
Agreed, however keys can be revoked, the important thing to remember is - we don't trust any of them who hold those keys, only a way to access them and to force the police to get a warrant.
IIRC, I seem to remember you writing some pretty cool audio analysis software - I hope that is going well for you.
when I went to HS, boys were not offered typing lessons because "boys don't grow up to be typists".
Funny story TC, I asked and asked because I spent so much time on a keyboard. I got my way, they thought I was crazy going to a class room to learn to type. I was surrounded by lots of very hot young ladies, mum was proud, my mates were jealous, I got better typing on computers and yes I went there - it was fucking awesome.
Wrong answer sparky! The right way is for the manufacturers to build in the strongest, hardest to break encryption and other safeguards against hacking into personal devices that they sell, and for the government, FBI, CIA, NSA, and law enforcement to realize that they can't have the backdoors and weakened encryption that they want, and that personal devices cannot be hacked even with a warrant or judges orders!
Then you are arguing for encryption to be illegal, because it is already a munition and you are restricting it's use to the law enforcement agencies and politicians who have secrets to hide. Think it through.
Private citizens deserve to have privacy of the info on their devices, and privacy from having their devices tracked by ANYONE! The government and above named agencies do NOT NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING ON EVERYONE'S DEVICES. We have already gone way to far down the road to George Orwell's 1984, its time to stop the illegal tracking and invading people's privacy!!!
That's exactly what I am saying. The whole surveillance society has gone to far already and it is time for law to adapt to technology. If there is no legal framework for law enforcement to violate, then they can argue that they *haven't broken the law*.
These departments have rules of operation, if there are no rules then THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. Why the fuck are you guys so hung up on some technical solution that will always have a hole in it.
You're missing the point. If there is a legal framework to manage access then there is also a legal framework for legal protections that violate that access. You're arguing that law enforcement should not need a warrant to access the data because you haven't applied you imagination to a technical solution.
It's software and you're trying to tell me that three way encryption won't work and that we should just give up. These attacks on privacy will continue until a workable solution is in place. Do you propose a solution>?
The right way is to have an office of the judicature maintain a set of third party keys that law enforcement can request *with a warrant*. That way they can still maintain their operational integrity (i.e the warranted party does not know they are being monitored) and the rest of the populations free speech rights. This could easily be supported by All writs or Telecommunication intercept acts of many commonwealth countries.
The issue is here, that they just want to have access to peoples communications without a warrant, which is a violation of privacy no better than any other garden variety black hat access.
If the police and other agencies can't respect the very laws that they are upholding, then they are breaching the very constitution they are sworn to uphold. From the perspective of someone accessing data that makes them no different from the criminals they are chasing because they are violating constitutional rights. Unalienable rights and that laws can't be unconstitutional.
Democracy isn't driving around in a tank. Democracy is a fragile girl, vulnerable walking down the street in a bad neighbourhood, Burr and Feinstein are the creepy ones offering her a ride.
Yeah, the first release of any long-term spasm-ed muscle gives a really strong kick. Have the TPI done weekly at first, and then taper to every 2 or 4 weeks.
They certainly do, however there is a fair amount of damage and, though I feel like I am close to the end, it has taken about 18months to 2 years to get this far at once a week, sometimes twice a week when things are releasing.
A muscle, once un-spasm-ed, can get some proper blood flow. It will also do its job, and not offload work to its neighbors. Eventually, after the physician plays whack-a-mole with the "worst 8" on each visit, things will begin to settle down.
I asked the physio about that a day or two ago. Where I live it's only legal if a physician does it, so next time I see the doc I will ask him - thanks again.
I'm more like "worst 16". Even then there have been 24 injury sites now functioning in exactly the way you describe, so I am experiencing similar results. I feel much stronger now and even though I'm waaaaay out of shape, I can do full bruce lee style push-ups on two fingers, which I couldn't do before, so I am looking forward to seeing what the rest of my body can do. Even just warming up I was about to pull moves I haven't been able to do for decades, so I'm pretty happy with it. I can dance all funky again too!
The hardest thing is finding the point to needle and was wondering about TPI, if you could help me, do they have to be less accurate when they pick the spot? Does injecting the saline/lidocaine mean they just have to get right on or just near the point?
Physio after releases is far more effective than doing it with them.
I believe you however the TPI is less accessible than dry needling where I am. I do have a selection of the needle diameter though, the thicker needles might be easier for them to aim. Are you saying follow up the TPI with dry needling?
Also, buy a Pilates Reformer for your home (mobility and slow-controlled muscle exertion). Don't buy a knock-off, but the real thing, made of wood by the original designer. Look on cragislist or ebay. $2000 is expensive, but after a few years, I sold mine for about the same $$$$ I paid for it, when it was longer needed.
I've done Pilaties, because it's cheap. Is there a specific benefit in buying the machine over a routine of non impact stretch exercises that you mean here?
I think I might replace the "turn around" audio with "Calm down and do a U turn" then replace the "merge" audio with "gun it!" - I think she would really appreciate it.
Hey - thanks for having a clue:) , I glad you had a laugh!
To alleviate the issue, I recorded the phrases for my wife's car navigator but I changed the 'left' and 'right' audio with the much more helpful 'it's coming up' and 'you just missed it'. I re-recorded the 5, with a 3 and the hundred with 'just there, fuck it's right in front of you' - That way I no longer have to assist her in person - the machine does that for me and it's like I'm in the car actually being helpful.
About ten years ago I snapped an achilles tendon and, at the time, it wasn't the worst adversity. I was suffering some pretty horrendous pain and during that time I excoriated you ferociously when I should not have been posting at all.
I don't know if you remember or even care, but I do and it's been on my list of consequences to take ownership of by apologising to you. Behind your pseudonym you are a human being and my behaviour was appalling.
It was wrong and I'm sorry Rei.
However, I also want to thank you. At a critical moment you engaged my mind at on something challenging enough to distract from the pain of that serious injury and the surgery that came after. Much of our conversation was while I had a four inch gap where my achilles should have been and a rolled up ball of calf muscle under me knee. It took me two years rehabilitation to be able to walk again and a lot of rather invasive and intense physical therapy since then (of another 23 injury sites) to restore my capacity for empathy, which was lost in the scar tissue I had accumulated.
I know this is clumsy and a bit awkward however I hope I can replace whatever toxicity I put out there with gratitude instead.
There is some work on using accelerators but on the basic feasibility, you can use them to reduce everything to protons....
I think we could start by assembling these things near every nuclear disaster site and get them to work. Lake Karachay and Fukushima are good places to start considering their threat to oceans.
Very frustrated that I can't find SCOTUS opinion. I've linked to it before but now the closest I come is Steven Chu referencing it in congressional testimony.
I would be very interested in seeing that, when you do find it, please send it on. A ruling like that does not say a lot for the feasibility of the Price-Anderson Act.
The best physical therapist I have ever had was actually a PhD chiropractor who had spent much of his career working with professional wrestlers.
Yep, I forgot to mention there are also two Chiropractors adjusting me, though at a much lower frequency than before. On is a really big bloke who cavitates my back when the tension reaches the spine and it is really bound up, the other a lady with more finess and accuracy in her adjustments. The pain is pretty unbearable as you go through it. I had knots in my back so bad they woke me up at 4am for months and I could not get back to sleep.
I did a lot of stupid things growing up and spent a total of eight years enlisted in the Marines as a way to pay for my education. Sometimes, just thinking about moving hurts. I'm actually in pretty good shape, all things considered. I'm still really active but damn, I really need to keep up the therapy and I don't.
Personally, I got to the stage where I was sick of it and asked myself what I could do. I had to admit to myself that if I don't pay the piper now, it will just be worse later.
I preferred electricity to needles, however. I tried the needles (I'm not the least bit adverse to them) but I found the electrical stimulation, massage, therapy, and the tub the most helpful - when coupled with the appropriate therapy.
Tens machine, yep I have a home unit, but the physio's units are more powerful - another thing I can just sleep to. Ultrasonic is pretty good too.
I'm missing a meniscus, have multiple old breaks, a torn ligament, a shredded shoulder that I won't let them operate on, and more. However, I'm mobile and all that - it just hurts.;-)
It'd hurt a lot less if I did the therapy.
I'd say you probably have a lot of scar tissue throughout your muscles. I can tell you from them sticking needles into my shoulders from two AC joint ruptures that it's hard work. For me the entire right shoulder cavitated as a single unit. The relief was indescribable.
I hunt, fish, hike, garden, work in the woods, work on cars, and have a woodworking shop as another hobby so it's not like I'm sedentary.
I've imposed a sedentary period onto myself for a little while I de-condition and dig through my old muscles trying to figure out where the injuries are. That's hard to do when training as the muscle soreness makes it hard to tell what is injury and what is just sore from work-out. I love that work-out soreness, but to get to the really deep damage I have to lie still and try to work it out when it is not obvious.
I just should be doing some very specific exercises that aren't really covered in my daily activities and I should be going in and getting fixed up more often. But, I'm a busy(ish) person and haven't bothered doing nearly as much as I should. My wrists are toast - both broken and one with a major RSI. Ankles are gone, knees are gone (they want to replace one - screw that), neck and back are full of arthritis to the point where they crack and pop constantly, and one shoulder is toast.
But, I function.;-)
Yep, been there, fortunately with less broken bones, it's called crepitus. *Every* joint cavitated on me, especially the most injured. I bet you've got a lot of sore knots in your muscles that are always just there. I asked the question, how would I feel if all of those were gone? Sticking a needle in those means the joints will cavitate like crazy until it is sore and then some time later (relative to how bad the injury was a day, a week) the joint movement will be smooth and free of 'crepitus'.
Wow...that means a lot of proteins breaking down and being excreted over a very short time. Most people only experience that when they overeat on meat. I didn't know that could happen from an event like that.
Thanks, I didn't realize that was significant, I'll let them know.
Get trigger-point injections if you have muscle spasms again. A step above acupuncture, it's a shot right into the muscle, slowly injecting a little bit of saline+lidocaine. Both you and the physician will feel the release, for sure!
Isn't that wet needling? I'll ask the doctor about that one as well - thank you.
The needles they put in now certainly release the muscles, I don't really know how much more I could take. I had needles between C1, my skull, in my temple and lower in my neck (three damn neck injuries!) for spasms that affected my eyesight. I think my yeeoooowww! blew the windows out of the the therapy room the day they got that one in my neck - I was sick for a week after that - however the eye hasn't spasmed since. The focal range changed from 850mm to 650mm to see a 1mm mark - so hopefully I'll get similar results in the other eye next.
It's much better than release via physio, which can bruise or worse when repeated over years.
For acupuncture, make sure the person is also an MD.
It was the MD who recommended the physios, so I went with that. I do bruise and bleed when the needles go into very tight muscle but, yeah with the deep tissue massage the bruising could be bad *if* they didn't slip off the muscle - which when they did *hurt like a motherfucker*, the needles are far more accurate when the physio hits the target. Sometimes they miss and you can feel the needle kind of bounce and slide down a wall of hard muscle and you know they will have to try again.
The most confronting place is needling the arches of the feet, however I have to otherwise the hips don't release when they traction the leg. Sometimes I fall asleep when they do my neck, the relief is that intense.
The tissues involved are called the fascia and they carry nerves of the parasympathetic nervous system (IIUC). Generally as the muscles move they slip and slide on this tissue. The scarring causes them to stick and that creates the knots in your muscle. That's what the needles get stuck into.
That week we had been sticking needles in an extremely tight part of my back next to my spine, under my shoulder blades and between the two bones of the fore arm lying flat with the hand open. It really fucken hurts when they hit the right spot, but the relief is almost instant and for about four days later (for me) the scar tissue breaks up. I'm never quite sure what will release until a few days later. It comes on like a cold numbness and the only way to relieve that is to stretch it for a few minutes and a cycle of cavitation begins. Then the joint in question starts cavitating and that process takes hours.
What the fuck caused the swelling?
The process of the bones in my forearm moving over a range of movement in the elbow that they hadn't for 18 years. The doctor told me it was the bursa (a small padding on the elbow) that had swollen. There was no other physical activity occurring. As best we can tell the elbow was injured at the same time as the wrist was broken. There was also a hockey injury further up the left arm where I got tripped by a back when attacking for goal and caught the boot of the goal keeper mid-kick on my collar bone as he was defending, so there was a lot of scar tissue there that hadn't been treated.
What happens to the scar tissue that's released?
The muscle tension in the knots releases from the extremities to the spine within the fascia, usually a joint closer to the spine has to be treated however you can feel the knots move and the muscle spasm for a few days before the cavitation starts. They day after, it feels like I have a flu, I notice that my urine is a bit stinky however we had to wait until the swelling went down to get another blood sample for comparison and I don't have those results of that yet.
Growing up as a geek, I was also really physical. I've played a life of physical sports, like hockey, soccer, football (touch in stead of tackle though), swimming, body surfing, hiking, hunting and climbing, fantastic stuff. Ironically it balances the mental effort I put into electronics and coding and I found I could focus really well.
My true love of physical activity has been Martial Arts. Throughout my 20's and 30's I did Thai boxing and during training the conditioning involved full power kicks and punches all over the body. When I was in my late 30's I could still do the splits, back flip and I was playing soccer when I snapped an achillies tendon, facing a wheel chair and cronic pain syndrome. It took almost three years to be able to walk again and significant determination to do so. I learned alot about physiotherapy and mental determination from sport was . Team sport were over for me, the balistic impacts were from other player. I was able to resume martial arts, currently BJJ, which is like physical chess, I love it. I got to competitition level, competed - only minor titles, but enough to test myself.
Over a decade later this activity has led to injuries all over the body that causes all sorts of aches and pains. Over the last couple of years (I diarise injuries) I noted that the *rate* of injuries progressing, recovery time longer. I was still training. My physical strength was still excellent and I'm able to fight guys 20-30 years younger, however I often noticed that strength could exceed my joints. Control was very important, pain was all over my body and, I noticed that I had pretty severe internal scarring accumulated in my muscles. Knots in my back so tight and painful that the physios elbow was into it and his feet were off the ground, and still I needed more pressure. Similar things around the rest of my body. I came to the conclusion that it was time to look at the state of my body.
I talked to my doctor who was surprised when I bought in my data that I had diarised and showed him some of the relationships I'd found, I was pressing him to authorize more physiotherapy. He did and with the assistance of another doctor and two physio therapists (both with Masters themselves who treat currently competing athletes) my body became a bit of an experiment. Dry needling is the main therapy used and over the past two years, I've stopped all training and physical activity and had over 4000 needles stuck into almost every muscle, joint and, tendon in my body. Sometimes 50 needles at a time.
That resulted in various odd and often very painful releases of scar tissue, intense periods of repeated joint cavitaion (cracking) in almost every joint in my body. Joints would go through periods of bone ossification and reform for weeks. One major event involved my left elbow. I was ashen grey, my left arm was numb and my chest constricted, but I wasn't having a heart attack. Instead my elbow released 10-20 degrees of movement, it swelled to almost the size of my knee down to my wrist in a session of 60-100 cavitations of the elbow over six hours. It was exhausting, I'm not sure if I was in shock, but I felt very ill for a few days. After that, I felt amazing, I had been carrying scarring from that injury (I broke my wrist in a fight once) for almost 20 years.
I'm almost at the end of this therapy, a process that uncovered 24 major injuries in my body each releasing with a intensity varying upto what I described above and currently the physios are trying to re-allign my hips, which will probably be the final and most painful cavitaion I've been slowly working up to.
I'm more physically out of shape than I have been because of intentional de-conditioning of the body however, I feel great. I'm middle aged now and I can still not only touch my toes, but stand on my fingers and I'm working my way back to doing the splits. A couple of weeks ago I woke up, got in the shower and realized there was no more pain. As a bonus, I'm also not as grumpy as I used to be and my mind is much cl
And just for good measure, destroy all records that SCO ever had back to the Beginning of Time.
We should probably find everyone who has ever been involved, move them to another planet, erase their timeline, remove every atoms interaction with the universe then nuke them from orbit, just to be sure.
Sorry, you get a failing grade in History, but an A+ in dumbassery.
Maybe I can get some pointers from you in Assholery, it looks like you topped that class.
The company currently calling itself SCO is an imposter that has only existed since 2001.
The Santa Cruz Operation (the original SCO) was founded in 1979 and then sold its UNIX business to Caldera in 2001. After that sale, SCO changed its name to Tarantella and Caldera then changed its name to The SCO Group.
Caldera, now calling itself SCO, began pretending to be the original SCO. For example, in 2004 proclaiming "our 25th anniversary" despite the fact that Caldera was only founded on 1994.
I think we are headed for a period of conservatism once we have averted the climate crisis.
Interesting, still a long way to go there though. It would seem that two party systems are having difficulty making progress. So perhaps people will notice.
The green party tenth key value will likely be a part of that conservatism, and that says what you can't safely dispose of must be unmade.
I am simply concerned about mutagenic elements being allowed in the environment. It is extremely concerning that they are being spread around as munitions combined with the frustrating arrogant incompetent way the Nuclear Industry handles its effluents. These practises have to stop.
If it can be unmade that is fantastic news to me. I'm ok with stored if the geology is working. Anything that works. So far crystalized Uranium looks like the most promising way to store transuranics without leeching into water tables. But, like the places that are meant to store them, still under development.
I've only begun to investigate "Accelerators" since you mentioned them, thank you. I did a bit of searching for myself, is there anything you could recommend I look at? Is this proven technology, is it available?
Truly safe disposal of nuclear waste seems unfeasible, at least according to SCOTUS.
What do you mean by this? Are you referring to a specific ruling?
A renewable energy system is pretty stable, and probably will behave like the roman road system in terms of self perpetuation.
Absolutely. Renewable energy systems look like some of the most interesting type of technology coming onto the market for decades. I'm surprised that people around here aren't more excited about it. Frankly it looks like an extremely profitable technology with minimal downsides.

That's hard to do when training as the muscle soreness makes it hard to tell what is injury and what is just sore from work-out. I love that work-out soreness, but to get to the really deep damage I have to lie still and try to work it out when it is not obvious.
I just should be doing some very specific exercises that aren't really covered in my daily activities and I should be going in and getting fixed up more often. But, I'm a busy(ish) person and haven't bothered doing nearly as much as I should. My wrists are toast - both broken and one with a major RSI. Ankles are gone, knees are gone (they want to replace one - screw that), neck and back are full of arthritis to the point where they crack and pop constantly, and one shoulder is toast.
But, I function. ;-)
Yep, been there, fortunately with less broken bones, it's called crepitus. *Every* joint cavitated on me, especially the most injured. I bet you've got a lot of sore knots in your muscles that are always just there. I asked the question, how would I feel if all of those were gone? Sticking a needle in those means the joints will cavitate like crazy until it is sore and then some time later (relative to how bad the injury was a day, a week) the joint movement will be smooth and free of 'crepitus'.
I wonder how many GPL violations the music industry will make manipulating the rights of the artists, to monopolize the rights of consumers.
I notice that my urine is a bit stinky
Wow...that means a lot of proteins breaking down and being excreted over a very short time. Most people only experience that when they overeat on meat. I didn't know that could happen from an event like that.
Thanks, I didn't realize that was significant, I'll let them know.
You're welcome.
Get trigger-point injections if you have muscle spasms again. A step above acupuncture, it's a shot right into the muscle, slowly injecting a little bit of saline+lidocaine. Both you and the physician will feel the release, for sure!
Isn't that wet needling? I'll ask the doctor about that one as well - thank you.
The needles they put in now certainly release the muscles, I don't really know how much more I could take. I had needles between C1, my skull, in my temple and lower in my neck (three damn neck injuries!) for spasms that affected my eyesight. I think my yeeoooowww! blew the windows out of the the therapy room the day they got that one in my neck - I was sick for a week after that - however the eye hasn't spasmed since. The focal range changed from 850mm to 650mm to see a 1mm mark - so hopefully I'll get similar results in the other eye next.
It's much better than release via physio, which can bruise or worse when repeated over years.
For acupuncture, make sure the person is also an MD.
It was the MD who recommended the physios, so I went with that. I do bruise and bleed when the needles go into very tight muscle but, yeah with the deep tissue massage the bruising could be bad *if* they didn't slip off the muscle - which when they did *hurt like a motherfucker*, the needles are far more accurate when the physio hits the target. Sometimes they miss and you can feel the needle kind of bounce and slide down a wall of hard muscle and you know they will have to try again.
The most confronting place is needling the arches of the feet, however I have to otherwise the hips don't release when they traction the leg. Sometimes I fall asleep when they do my neck, the relief is that intense.
You might understand better if it is in order:
What the fuck triggered the event?
The tissues involved are called the fascia and they carry nerves of the parasympathetic nervous system (IIUC). Generally as the muscles move they slip and slide on this tissue. The scarring causes them to stick and that creates the knots in your muscle. That's what the needles get stuck into.
That week we had been sticking needles in an extremely tight part of my back next to my spine, under my shoulder blades and between the two bones of the fore arm lying flat with the hand open. It really fucken hurts when they hit the right spot, but the relief is almost instant and for about four days later (for me) the scar tissue breaks up. I'm never quite sure what will release until a few days later. It comes on like a cold numbness and the only way to relieve that is to stretch it for a few minutes and a cycle of cavitation begins. Then the joint in question starts cavitating and that process takes hours.
What the fuck caused the swelling?
The process of the bones in my forearm moving over a range of movement in the elbow that they hadn't for 18 years. The doctor told me it was the bursa (a small padding on the elbow) that had swollen. There was no other physical activity occurring. As best we can tell the elbow was injured at the same time as the wrist was broken. There was also a hockey injury further up the left arm where I got tripped by a back when attacking for goal and caught the boot of the goal keeper mid-kick on my collar bone as he was defending, so there was a lot of scar tissue there that hadn't been treated.
What happens to the scar tissue that's released?
The muscle tension in the knots releases from the extremities to the spine within the fascia, usually a joint closer to the spine has to be treated however you can feel the knots move and the muscle spasm for a few days before the cavitation starts. They day after, it feels like I have a flu, I notice that my urine is a bit stinky however we had to wait until the swelling went down to get another blood sample for comparison and I don't have those results of that yet.
Growing up as a geek, I was also really physical. I've played a life of physical sports, like hockey, soccer, football (touch in stead of tackle though), swimming, body surfing, hiking, hunting and climbing, fantastic stuff. Ironically it balances the mental effort I put into electronics and coding and I found I could focus really well.
My true love of physical activity has been Martial Arts. Throughout my 20's and 30's I did Thai boxing and during training the conditioning involved full power kicks and punches all over the body. When I was in my late 30's I could still do the splits, back flip and I was playing soccer when I snapped an achillies tendon, facing a wheel chair and cronic pain syndrome. It took almost three years to be able to walk again and significant determination to do so. I learned alot about physiotherapy and mental determination from sport was . Team sport were over for me, the balistic impacts were from other player. I was able to resume martial arts, currently BJJ, which is like physical chess, I love it. I got to competitition level, competed - only minor titles, but enough to test myself.
Over a decade later this activity has led to injuries all over the body that causes all sorts of aches and pains. Over the last couple of years (I diarise injuries) I noted that the *rate* of injuries progressing, recovery time longer. I was still training. My physical strength was still excellent and I'm able to fight guys 20-30 years younger, however I often noticed that strength could exceed my joints. Control was very important, pain was all over my body and, I noticed that I had pretty severe internal scarring accumulated in my muscles. Knots in my back so tight and painful that the physios elbow was into it and his feet were off the ground, and still I needed more pressure. Similar things around the rest of my body. I came to the conclusion that it was time to look at the state of my body.
I talked to my doctor who was surprised when I bought in my data that I had diarised and showed him some of the relationships I'd found, I was pressing him to authorize more physiotherapy. He did and with the assistance of another doctor and two physio therapists (both with Masters themselves who treat currently competing athletes) my body became a bit of an experiment. Dry needling is the main therapy used and over the past two years, I've stopped all training and physical activity and had over 4000 needles stuck into almost every muscle, joint and, tendon in my body. Sometimes 50 needles at a time.
That resulted in various odd and often very painful releases of scar tissue, intense periods of repeated joint cavitaion (cracking) in almost every joint in my body. Joints would go through periods of bone ossification and reform for weeks. One major event involved my left elbow. I was ashen grey, my left arm was numb and my chest constricted, but I wasn't having a heart attack. Instead my elbow released 10-20 degrees of movement, it swelled to almost the size of my knee down to my wrist in a session of 60-100 cavitations of the elbow over six hours. It was exhausting, I'm not sure if I was in shock, but I felt very ill for a few days. After that, I felt amazing, I had been carrying scarring from that injury (I broke my wrist in a fight once) for almost 20 years.
I'm almost at the end of this therapy, a process that uncovered 24 major injuries in my body each releasing with a intensity varying upto what I described above and currently the physios are trying to re-allign my hips, which will probably be the final and most painful cavitaion I've been slowly working up to.
I'm more physically out of shape than I have been because of intentional de-conditioning of the body however, I feel great. I'm middle aged now and I can still not only touch my toes, but stand on my fingers and I'm working my way back to doing the splits. A couple of weeks ago I woke up, got in the shower and realized there was no more pain. As a bonus, I'm also not as grumpy as I used to be and my mind is much cl
Wow, 100 insightful, never seen that before. Everything looks binary.
I just converted some of the binary - I think it's unicode but I am so tired my eyes are falling to take it any further.
Yeah - have a look at the UID and story ids they are a string of 0001111001010101
And just for good measure, destroy all records that SCO ever had back to the Beginning of Time.
We should probably find everyone who has ever been involved, move them to another planet, erase their timeline, remove every atoms interaction with the universe then nuke them from orbit, just to be sure.
Sorry, you get a failing grade in History, but an A+ in dumbassery.
Maybe I can get some pointers from you in Assholery, it looks like you topped that class.
The company currently calling itself SCO is an imposter that has only existed since 2001.
The Santa Cruz Operation (the original SCO) was founded in 1979 and then sold its UNIX business to Caldera in 2001. After that sale, SCO changed its name to Tarantella and Caldera then changed its name to The SCO Group.
Caldera, now calling itself SCO, began pretending to be the original SCO. For example, in 2004 proclaiming "our 25th anniversary" despite the fact that Caldera was only founded on 1994.
Ok, so who's on the board then?
I think we are headed for a period of conservatism once we have averted the climate crisis.
Interesting, still a long way to go there though. It would seem that two party systems are having difficulty making progress. So perhaps people will notice.
The green party tenth key value will likely be a part of that conservatism, and that says what you can't safely dispose of must be unmade.
I am simply concerned about mutagenic elements being allowed in the environment. It is extremely concerning that they are being spread around as munitions combined with the frustrating arrogant incompetent way the Nuclear Industry handles its effluents. These practises have to stop.
If it can be unmade that is fantastic news to me. I'm ok with stored if the geology is working. Anything that works. So far crystalized Uranium looks like the most promising way to store transuranics without leeching into water tables. But, like the places that are meant to store them, still under development.
I've only begun to investigate "Accelerators" since you mentioned them, thank you. I did a bit of searching for myself, is there anything you could recommend I look at? Is this proven technology, is it available?
Truly safe disposal of nuclear waste seems unfeasible, at least according to SCOTUS.
What do you mean by this? Are you referring to a specific ruling?
A renewable energy system is pretty stable, and probably will behave like the roman road system in terms of self perpetuation.
Absolutely. Renewable energy systems look like some of the most interesting type of technology coming onto the market for decades. I'm surprised that people around here aren't more excited about it. Frankly it looks like an extremely profitable technology with minimal downsides.
