Responsible Terminology 04 20 2026

Perhaps a person should consider Heartburn as their "esophagus choking on food."

ECOF?

Scientist Humor 04 20 2026

"We can predict what you are going to do eighty percent of the time; and the other twenty percent of the time we are depressed."

The Economy For Who? 04 20 2026

It is probably a great economy if you are an Oil Futures trader with inside information with regard to military activity in the Middle East?

And who is that today?

Well there was a man named, it sounds like Sore Oh's? But I think it is more likely to be those who declared him to be bad.

Did you ever notice a bad pattern of behavior? Someone states someone is a terrible person and then does the exact same activity they did? To get rich?

The Emotionally Disturbed 04 20 2026

There is often a phrase used to implicate you should show empathy? You never know what someone is going through?

But here is the thing. Some people start life out on a much lower level than the rest of us. And are likely miserable for the most immature reasons their entire life.

So there is like a gradient involved in this concept.

Whereas the phrase, you never know what someone is going through implies more of a level playing field?

But I would assert it is more due to what "level" you are truly on and meant to be on. And I am not asserting a class system. I believe in potential.

But look at what we have become?

It is that low level of intelligence and behavior that is going to be emotionally disturbed their entire lives for the most immature reasons.

And it does our Nation of the Free absolutely no good to attempt to foster the normalization of that concept from the very top down.

The Employee That Needs to 04 20 2026

"The employee that needs to take a jealousy and envy break every five minutes in support of their mental health."

That could be the theme of a short story or novel right there!

Jack Stand Innovation Never Kept Up With Unibody Car Design 04 20 2026 Updated

The idea that 1/4" wide pinch weld that extends 1.25 inches down can support 3000 pounds across a 1.5" top surface area contact point of a jack, without the pinch weld folding is absurd.

Did I explain that well enough?

So the top plate or rest of the jack needs to be a bigger plane surface, but with a slot in it.

So how do you accomplish that without having to bulk up the metal too much?

Or perhaps a better question is how do you make a stronger jack stand?

The way that you make a stronger jack stand is to start with a center channel square or rectangular profile piece of metal from the ground plate to where the jack extension comes out of the jack base.

Then you create the jack with the same architecture of "pyramid" welded metal sides or such a structure?

It will also need a wider base because of the wider top. But the center channel piece as mentioned above might help prevent such a wider base from causing the jack to teeter.

For a jack with a larger top rest plate might have a greater chance to teeter.

However the product has to engineered so that the ground plate of the jack can never become dimpled lower in the center. Because if that were to happen you would have the teeter problem.

And do you want to know the gospel truth? No one is going to make one the right way because the added materials would cost too much money, is what they would say.

And perhaps we shouldn't allow any United States Metal to leave our Country! Perhaps we should have never allowed it!

Putting it out there (Cookie Idea) 04 19 2026

What if I were to find a product that is called "Walnut Flavoring" or "Walnut Flavor" and add it to a batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies?

I am betting that simple modification might make a great difference!

Fond Memories of Drinking 04 18 2026

No I don't have fond memories of drinking!

Absolutely not!

I am lucky to be alive after drinking!

The MAD F 04 18 2026

Without further to do I introduce to you the MAD F.

It is truly amazing!I didn't know what I had. I had just finished writing on a 3x5 card to use as a label to put inside a bag of fishing rod making guides.

When I looked a second time and noticed that I had created the MAD F!

Fooling the Data Centers 04 17 2026

What if we look the other way and allow days centers to proliferate everywhere?

...

Then we cut the power to the storage function of the data center and feed their solar array derived electricity directly into our power grid.

Thereby dramatically lowering the cost of energy for us?

Can legal reasons based on the Constitution be used to do this?Only if you have the tight men in power.

Conservation and Clothing Fashion 04 16 2026

What if all pants and shirts and sweaters and jackets...things you wash in your washer...were required to have two discrete buttons to loops on them specifically purposed for serving as a means to hang them up on a clothesline?

But perhaps not t-shirts or underwear.

The reason being, is that as much as you buy clothespins, they seem to disappear? And they really don't hold clothes on the clothesline very well.

Some style so wire spring clamps work real well, but those get legs too.

But I like the idea of a shirt or pants having two discrete loops with buttons them.

Whereby you open up the button, put the loop it is holding around the clothesline and button it to the clothesline in two places.

It would save energy, because it would make it easier to facilitate drying your clothes on the line rather than the clothes dryer.

Wouldn't it be nice?

So indeed I should be able to start my own clothing line with clothes just like that! Perhaps somebody has already?

Sure you can button your jeans to the clothesline using the waste button on them, but then you still need a clothespin to make the distribution more even. But it would be better as described by me above.

Helping a Prostitution Ring 04 15 2026

Someone in public office who can be deemed to be helping a large prostitution ring..,can it be legally interpreted, by the courts, at some point, given the scale of it, that they are aiding and abetting a foreign enemy?

And what does it mean when an obstruction of justice only becomes a realized obstruction of justice when the public is aware of it by the freedom of information act? In other words, the fact that it was an obstruction of justice was being kept secret by intentional non-disclosure of important facts and evidence.

PS. I am someone who can't be bought by being given a pretty woman without morals and ineducable. Why not? Because I wouldn't want any children of ours to end up like what she is.

Computer Design to Eliminate Data Centers 04 15 2026

If I were President all laptop or desktop computers that are sold would be required to have a hard drive that is modular, discrete and can be removed easily, like by a wing nut. They would also have a physical switch on them. So that they could not be accessed unless the person is backing up data to them.

You could call it a backup or secondary drive.

All software would also have to be rewritten. How and why?

In terms of saving data. There would be a save data function in all software programs where it prompted you to turn on the physical switch to the hard drive.

And because switches wear out. The switch itself would have to be standard, modularly replaceable and just like above.

There might be a required set number of "wire socket" Connections to such a storage device.

Rather this that data centers going up to save data that you save on your hard drive and then make you pay for your own work!

Good God, Jesus Christ! To make a human being pay for their own work! The sick ones are still with us.

Two of the country's billionaires started life out as thieves. And those are people Donald Trump who recently posted a painting of himself as being a savior would give a tax break to.

Now for those of you who read my writing and like to think philosophically, what is the end result when thieves are allowed to create employment?

Not to hard to figure out. Those who are not thieves will not be able to find employment. And it becomes like the episode from a science fiction series whereby the pig faced people operate, perform plastic surgery, on you to make you look like them so that you will then thereby be happy.

Sickly, oddly, we are there already with catfish surgery.

Lasagna With Pineapple 04 14 2026

My health advice would be to never eat lasagna or pizza without pineapple. (Sb in odd meat balls of spaghetti too.)

In this case cook the lasagna till done. Was 194 degrees on the infrared gun thermometer. Open a large can of pineapple. Run it under the faucet until all the inner can coatings that leached into the juice are completely gone. Chop it like in photo. Put on top of lasagna , back in oven, cook ( I broiled this end step for 10 min. But make sure you got a broil proof pan.)

It helps digest that fat belly food. Think I want to be fst bellied and talking like a reprobate?

Pinch of powdered ginger

Banning Books with the Intent to Rewrite Them 04 13 2026

I wonder if that is true. That there could be a group of people that want to ban certain books because they want to rewrite them, meaning change the character names a little and change them just a little.

With the intent that they will become a blockbuster success in print and at the movies for them?

Then they can say something like, "How proud I am of my son Benji, he sure did our family proud, with his novel."

Maybe this I'll try.

A can of black olive, hummus left overs, can of diced tomatoes, can of nacho cheese.

A dash of ed pepper sauce.

Perhaps 1 green onion.

Bullet grinder.

Upcycling a Broken Band Saw Blade 04 12 2026

Could a broken band saw blade be used to fix and replace the broken off tines of a plastic rake?

Whereby you cut a section of the bandsaw blade off, perhaps 8". Bend the end of it to 2.5"

Drill two holes in it. And rivet it to the place on your plastic rake where a tine is broken off?

I think so.

Negative. If you hang your rake up in the garage by the lower end of it and it were to fall on you as you knocked something that blade piece might cut you, because it has teeth.

But there are metal rakes. But the tines off them don't have teeth on the side. Sure the teeth could be filed off.

Just thinking out loud.

There was a movie that I would say is about illegitimacy, whereby the one word advice is plastics.

What an awful word.

Church and Soul 04 12 2026

So the Church believes that your soul doesn't come from your parents then where do they believe it comes from?

What is giving you a soul, if not your parents? What does the Church believe you receive your soul from? Does the Church believe that you are getting a whole or partial human soul?

When you look at your very own biological parents do you deny that they have a human soul?

Does the Church imply that knowing right from wrong, which is a good part of the human soul, doesn't really come from the teachings and corrections of your very own parents?

So indeed there is a lot of deceit as to where the Church believes that your human soul comes from. And one always asks in terms of matters of deceit, how is a matter of deceit self serving to the person who is being deceitful?

It would seem to me that the Church implies that Biological Parents have no soul to give? I find that to be a hellish belief.

The Words of Jesus Christ would wrongly be condemned by Facebook, Google and Microsoft 04 12 2026

Matthew 11:34 states, "You brood of vipers, how can you say anything good?"

Why? Because Jesus is comparing people to animals!

The Bartenders Daughter on Television 04 10 2026

I am talking about a woman who uses the word "yeah" a lot.

You wouldn't think that someone like that would be highly successful on television as a commentator or speaker.

And most people would fail to recognize it is of a lesser standard.

Did I learn a higher standard by going to Catholic School?

No, I think that I learned a higher standard because my parents were of a higher standard.

And people like that were more common 50 or 60 years ago.

So what happened?

Perhaps it has to do with money buying educations of those who can't really be educated?

And I am a Democrat, and I did indeed believe in Disability rights.

But perhaps not anymore in terms of mental retardation. How many rights should they be allowed? How many services and support people need to be hired "Around them?" And when you get into business, they will say things like they have a lot of money invested in you already, much more than your salary. But yet it doesn't seem to apply to their own neglected and poorly conceived children does it? Meaning, all those services and support required, and there will never be a true return or contribution made from them. But just keep them busy and everyone is happy? Does matter if they get into a retail position and hate people? Does matter if they get not a sense of entitlement but a sense of royalty for all the money that was dumped and wasted concerning them? You with a college degree should be doing that emotionally disturbed persons low level job because they really believe themselves to be a King or Queen?

Woah. Look at that last sentence? Talk about the NO KINGS movement. That almost completely turns the concept upside down doesn't it!

But maybe it doesn't. Maybe that is highly consistent with what we consider an issue of a person today in the public eye?

Money and Freedom 04 10 2026

When Billionaires own all of our countries money are you really free?

They set up complex prostitution rings to rope young girls into? Is your daughter really free?

You end up paying higher interest rates on everything because that money gets funneled into their pockets as income? Are you really free?

Bottom line is that when the wealthy really control everything in your country it means your Government is no longer controlled or bound to that Supreme Law of the Land which cannot be broken, The United States Constitution.

If you are a man of sound mind, was able to learn and be educated and no matter what job you get you can't earn a living wage, are you really free?

*******'

I want to say something about a Code of Silence. How members of Organized Crime maintain a code of silence.

But look who is also persecuting United States Citizens who do not maintain a Code of Silence? Looks to me to be the Republican Party.

I had a childhood friend of a certain religion. Perhaps it is one that the United States just got dragged into a War by. Anyway I could give you a list of his favorite phrases and expressions. One of them was, "Dead men tell no tales."

A Natural Order of Heirarchy in Software Development 04 08 2026

This post is going to rather vague. But functions should work as a normal human being would expect them to. Not like someone who is attempting to prove they are the top level of the mensa charts? That bad element of a professor's trick question built right into the functioning of software, for no good purpose.

To recreate menu functions and lists every so often in product updates, whereby the most recent products are not as good as the first generation.

Whereby things should work like you would think they should work.

More important and highly used functions should not be in a list that includes lesser functions.

And it is all about increasing American Productivity rather than what money you can squeeze out of our country and then squander.

So it is a trail that leads away from humanity. A lot of people don't want to believe what is or was great about our country.

Happy Easter!

Dialog 04 05 2026

"I am going to throw out three pairs of shoes today."

"Give them to the poor!"

"You know what I never thought of that...I guess that I think the poor aren't poor anymore. I see a poor person who is fat and I think the poor aren't poor anymore. But the poor are poor."

*******'

And indeed I had to check on that. That major donation center does indeed take second hand shoes in good shape. So indeed I will give them to the poor.
