June 2018, Putnam County, FL
Douglas Kelly suspected that the drugs he illegally bought and subsequently consumed were not what he had bargained for. So he called the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, asking them to test the drugs so he could press charges against the person who sold them to him, according to CNN. Kelly gave deputies samples of the “clear, crystallized substance” for testing saying that he had purchased methamphetamine about a week earlier and had a “bad reaction” after smoking the narcotic. Kelly was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine. He was walked to the Putnam County Jail and held on $5,000 bond. Following this incident, the Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook: Remember, our detectives are always ready to assist anyone who believes they were misled in their illegal drug purchase. |

This is a series including some "advice" for citizens about their pants. The post read, "We at the Kitty Hawk Police Department understand that some of North Carolina's laws may be confusing. We also understand that educating you about the laws when you are being placed into handcuffs may be a little untimely. We thought if we could avoid more paperwork, and you could avoid going to jail, we both win. So, we have decided to post periodic educational messages on how to avoid going to jail. Here is the first of many to come." The post continued, "Prior to wearing someone else's pants, please remove all drugs, drug paraphernalia, stolen goods or any other illegal items the 'owner' of the pants may have left behind. 'These are not my pants' is not an affirmative defense. Glad we could help." The post concluded, "Disclaimer: We are not attorneys nor non-attorney spokespersons and this message is not intended as legal advice...." |

Elon Musk needs to worry about this.
May 18, 2021
A Tesla in autopilot mode crashed into a Snohomish County, WA, deputy's patrol car over the weekend, causing significant damage, sheriff's officials said. The incident began Saturday as the deputy responded to a vehicle that had crashed into a power pole and sheared it in half, KATU reports. The deputy parked on the shoulder on the road, with his emergency lights flashing, and exited his vehicle to speak with the fire units on scene. About 30 seconds later, a Tesla in autopilot mode slammed into the deputy's vehicle, heavily damaging the front driver's side.

Over here, for home grown drugs meant for home applications, third phase trial data is generally not presented in the clinical form you maybe looking for.
What we have are from press releases. 3rd Phase: From December to mid-March this year, 2-DG drugs were given to 220 patients in 27 hospitals in Delhi, UP, ....; clinical trials submitted the complete data to DCGI on May 1 and sought permission for emergency use. The DCGI, which reviewed the results, approved. https://www.thehansindia.com/news/national/drdos-2dg-drug-here-is-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-anti-covid-19-drug-685872 ---xx General info for members: 2G is a drug and not a vaccine. What the drug does is freeze the infected cells and starve the virus so that it cannot replicate. In other words, the drug's mechanism helps in reduced need for oxygen, and faster recovery. The drug is meant for covid patients and more so if covid comes after vaccination. In other words, it is not a substitute for vaccination. |

My observation was that by tagging a woman's body parts with masculine sounding prefixes you opened up a new genre in humor. 
Hymen ='Hi man, still waiting' I still have trouble with the punchline - HUSBAND. If I were to take it literally, then it becomes a motivational speech From a woman's perspective, while a husband does enlarge her confidence, over time he is perceived as a constraint. So now if I were dating a porn star, this joke could be motivational, swing her from body parts and lead her to the next step - the natural order in society. So in the literal sense, your joke is a motivational speech!
Figuratively, HUSBAND = Diamond is a woman's best friend or as in my opinion, 'waiting for the payoff that comes in the end'. |

Wonder drug '2 DG' for those already infected. It's available in powder form and described as 'oral vaccine' - developed by Defense Research Lab in India.
“2-DG accumulates in the virus-infected cells and prevents virus growth by stopping viral synthesis and energy production. Its selective accumulation in virally infected cells makes this drug unique,” Dr Reddy maintained. He said 51 per cent of the patients were cured within three days during the third phase of clinical trials and others within 5 to 7 days after administering the drug, which can be used for moderate to severe Covid patients. It is a generic molecule and it can be produced in any country, he informed. On production plans, he said they have been discussing bulk production and they would come out with an action plan within the next two or three days. |

it did include cocaine back in the day so i heard Haha, They were sticky on the price: 5 cents a glass from 1886 right into the 1950s On a serious note, try mixing coke with different organic foods and you get interesting results. One of the popular ones on YouTube shows dissolving the outer shell of an egg immersed in coke. Another experiment is mixing coke with protein as in yogurt. If the mix is corked in a bottle and gently and rhythmically shaken for say 10 minutes; it goes off like a gun shot. |

So many wild secrets about Coke, like tobacco.
Like the pinch of activated carbon mixed in the sugared drink to keep it bacteria free for longer period - 6 months. Oh yes, Coke continues to evolve. |

Coca-Cola are giving its fans hilariously high pitched voices this week, with the launch of a brand-new variant: Coca-Cola Helium. The press released emailed today claims “the highly-anticipated launch introduces a twist to the much-loved Coca-Cola Classic, by carbonating it with a small shot of helium. The new recipe keeps the same fizz and great taste but with added fun as, when consumed, the drinker’s voice takes on a whole new pitch.” One cannot be sure of news tidbits like these but these days - after the Elections - there's a change in tone in conversations, a bit more relaxed, some cackles and quacks. Helium. |

A few things wrong with this. 1. It's unlikely that India would buy our scrap steel for their bridges. If they could afford bridges they'd make them, and for less than the cost of shipping and refurbishing our leftovers.
steel scrap is valued by re-rolling mills and is an unlisted export item. But you are right, we are talking about used girders and refurbishing them, i.e., heat treatment for stress relieving, etc; takes technology - not in general trade 2. In your Saudi Arabia example, once the tracks get shipped away, we'd have to replace them.... Also, it's unlikely Saudi Arabia would buy hand-me-down tracks when they've got their own $trillions to buy world-leading railways, if they wanted them.
Still, Amtrak may like to explore this market. KSA is getting price sensitive. They are concerned their oil may run out faster than projections. 3. Lastly, even if the US sold $20 billion in scrap metal, that's not even a month's interest payment on the national debt. $20 billion here and a 20 billion there, begin to add up. After all Biden has a 6.1 Trillion outlay. I hear about a US city's likely sale to Canada -- xx-- You left out Disneyland: Disneyland is abandoning California, moving to Texas Saying they’ve “finally had enough” and the state is “just nuts,” Disneyland officials have announced that the park is leaving California. The park joins hundreds of thousands of California residents fleeing the state each year. Various reasons have been given for the mass exodus, but most common are the high cost of living, the overreaching liberal government, or that the state is “just nuts.” Although there's a disclaimer in the article: All stories internally peer-reviewed for minimum 17% accuracy - still some smoke |

Made in China....anyone resonate?g Interesting, because the way Chinese work: 1. Products should be economically designed to sell on price (& mass production). I don't think one can get any item cheaper than Chinese, from plastic lighters, to heavy power projects and tomorrow, e-cars. (Personally speaking: India has a few Chinese power plants (SEPCO) & my company was once their site contractors. The Chinese foremen were top quality. Although the Chinese workers were better cared, they could not withstand working under the Indian heat & humidity - and that's why we were contracted.) 2. With reference to rockets, they contain Russian cryogenic engines (thrust er that can work at -50 deg C and below! So one may speculate that Chinese Space Agency (CSA) may have deliberately released the first stage rocket to check how far into space as it could go - a trial to determine why not modify the single stage to go as far - to orbit the moon. (Russian rockets are expensive and one of the reasons International Space Station is being decommissioned is because Russia has been charging exorbitantly to ferry astronauts.) So what we may be seeing is beginning of a second space race - between CSA and Elon Musk's Space X. |

What didn't burn up on re-entry landed in the ocean West of Maldives. Happy endings.
The shell (20 tons) entered earth's atmosphere over New Jersey New Jersey: 40 deg, - 75 deg (Latitude, Longitude) Maldives: 2 deg, 74 deg i.e., halfway around the planet: Atlantic, Africa to I Ocean. Doesn't make sense, cause designated area for rockets launched from Asia, is the Pacific. (For US, it's the Atlantic). Moreover the shell was burning and we don't know the extent of the debris. From the pictures of rocket burn, (NASA) my estimate of the largest un-burnt piece is over 10 tons. Chinese response to NASA and media criticism is not encouraging. With several more launches planned till end of 2022 -

W.r.t. Greenspan being mentioned in previous post - somebody may point out that it was Ben Bernanke who was Chairman of Federal Reserve in 2008. For their reference I quote:
In 2011 the bipartisan Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission found that Greenspan’s failure to curtail trade in securities backed by subprime mortgage loans (see also mortgage-backed security) during the U.S. housing bubble of the early 2000s and his advocacy of deregulation of the financial industry had contributed to the global financial crisis of 2008 What puzzles me is Bernanke was closely assisted by Timothy Geithner, then the New York Federal Reserve Bank President Interesting to note that Before he became the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank Mr. Geithner served as a Treasury Department Attache in the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, Japan. That was during the time that Japan's commercial real estate bubble deflated, causing Japan's asset value crash, at the beginning of what they call "Japan's Lost Decade". Incidentally, Mr. Geithner 'fired' Nobel Economics Awardee) Robert Shiller for giving a presentation on financial bubbles well before the 2008 bust. So if now I say - the Sub Prime conspiracy was 'in the making' by the Federal Bank - like parents are responsible for delinquency in their teens; what! The Sub Prime is the mother of all conspiracies. |

Against the example you cited: One study, for example, asked participants how likely they were to believe a common conspiracy theory ... they asked the participants to rate the extent to which they believed that a random computer-generated sequence of coin flips (i.e., heads or tails) was fully random or fully determined. you may be right.
As Tom said: A group of people planning is not necessarily a conspiracy. A negative result from a planned endeavor is not necessarily a conspiracy. Not all negative actions are a result of a conspiracy. Bad things happen to good people. Good things happen to bad people. We live in a Universe of unpredictable chaotic events. Random things just happen. Not everything must be explained or justified. Trying to do so can make someone insane. I have a feeling we mixed up Dr Grohol's limited view of 'conspiracy' on everyday events - which is a study of mindsets - got mixed up with: If this thread was titled as Conspiracies in Power Politics and Economics Then Calle's List of political conspiracies are open secrets. (he left out economical - like sub-prime that led to European banks falling as pins; Greenspan's open handed policy that allowed this crime; and to say Greenspan was innocent of banking and stock market regulatory knowledge)! People may latch onto conspiracy theories as a way of understanding and explaining a chaotic world ... provided there's a pattern!
Example: If an ambulance driver runs over a dog. okay. But if the same driver runs over several dogs - we have a pattern. Now as Tom suggested conspiracies have to be viewed in their contexts; perhaps the driver wanted to eliminate all dogs justifying that they are a menace to his profession - would it be a conspiracy? Now replace dogs and drivers with media, parties and nations - then a conspiracy is manifest in the pattern. My contribution is that (while powerful governments invest in science which have 'additionally' potential military applications); in the case of biological warfare while there's a UN ban; US supporting experiments in Wuhan Lab - while there's remains a ban on such experiments within US - needs to be investigated. -- I saw your website after posting the above. Great site!
Makes some of what I've written - simplistic. maybe some day I will start a website. Best of Luck! |
