In the long term the climate will change, making most of the US inhabitable
Mass migration will follow.
System will break apart, industry will come to halt.
Tribes warlords and cannibalism for food

The new species will be 'the rat',
Add to that the radiation and contamination from the WW3 in 2024 I think it was..

So nothing to worry about.. all in the cosmic (comic?) play of thugs eh I meant things

I wonder, floating on a sailboat and living from uncooked fish (has the much needed vitamins)
oh boy now boat prices will go to the sky...

I have grapes growing in the garden... for the next month it will do for vitamin C :-)
Seen strawberries too.
Plenty of cats and dogs for food,
Learning to set traps, make fire, the usual.
More wolves are coming here too.

Maybe only some microbes or one-cellular life forms will remain.. for a while..
then the sun engulfs the earth and goes out .
Was looking at a documentary about white holes, nobody knows if those exist.
Anyways, must a lot of interesting species and things out there,

Vikinger lander on Mars test was positive for life.
Governments keeping it from us, religious leaders afraid that the people see we are
just an elementary particle chemical reaction.

Those so-called yields are artificial and will be short-lived. The agricultural industry is using vast amounts of herbicide (glyphosate) in combination with GMO crops, over application of fertilizer ( which will be depleted in about 15 years), tons of so-called systemic pesticide seed and spray treatments, surprisingly huge amounts of plastic that isn't recycled, and oceans of water use. There are many, many more dangerous downsides to this miracle of modern agriculture, which is a totally fake claim. Every one of those is an unsustainable destruction of the environment as well as killing a lot of people. Climate change is exacerbating the necessity of these bad practices because of insect pestilence, amplification of competing weed growth, drought, floods, and hellishly high temperatures which drive crop transpiration to the breaking point.

That's a really wacky view of farm life and kids. Most of those so-called kids from farm country aren't suitable for farm work, they're just future premature deaths from drug abuse. The drug abuse problem in rural areas of this country is horrendous.

Not even close to reality! Their problem is overpopulation in combination with mismanagement of resources and climate change.

That's an insane misunderstanding of reality. You're knowledge of the situation is what's called woefully wrong and inadequate. You need to make an appointment with your GP and tell him/her your prescription drug regimen is making you insane.

Apparently no one cares about children. The figure I read was that 3,000 children die of starvation every day in India, and all the while India is exporting grain crops.
Then in addition to the more routine neglect, genocide and war kills way more children than cold weather.
Eastern Europe has a big problem with producing children with brain damage from alcohol poisoning during pregnancy.

There is a lot of green people into destroying earth.
Over here in the Netherlands the farmers are revolting, blocking highways and roads
so supermarkets cannot be supplied and shelves are empty..
The EU green political fanatics reason that cows produce CO2 or something like that
and want to kill them all it seems.
They think climate change is human made.
However climate change is caused by earth orbit variations, neatly described here:
http://old.world-mysteries.com/alignments/mpl_al3b.htm
Milankovitch cycles
If you do a google for those cyclic temperature changes you see that at times CO2 lagged the warm periods.
So it is all political play using clueless green fanatic kids that have been brainwashed by Al Gore
and his polar bear club...
What we should do is bring all the nuclear power on line we can and put aircos in all houses
(hardly any in Europe have those) so we can stay as long as possible,
after that we'd have to move to Siberia where it is cool and kindly ask for Russian citizenship :-)

almost half of U.S. farm land, while generating 21% of production.
Midsize and large-scale family farms account for about 66% of

1-year Short-Term Climate Changes
are due to fluctuations in solar activity,
called coronary mass ejections (CME)

Coronal Mass Ejections

Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun’s corona. They can eject billions of tons of coronal material and carry an embedded magnetic field (frozen in flux) that is stronger than the background solar wind interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) strength. CMEs travel outward from the Sun at speeds ranging from slower than 250 kilometers per second (km/s) to as fast as near 3000 km/s. The fastest Earth-directed CMEs can reach our planet in as little as 15-18 hours. Slower CMEs can take several days to arrive. They expand in size as they propagate away from the Sun and larger CMEs can reach a size comprising nearly a quarter of the space between Earth and the Sun by the time it reaches our planet.

The more explosive CMEs generally begin when highly twisted magnetic field structures (flux ropes) contained in the Sun’s lower corona become too stressed and realign into a less tense configuration – a process called magnetic reconnection. This can result in the sudden release of electromagnetic energy in the form of a solar flare; which typically accompanies the explosive acceleration of plasma away from the Sun – the CME. These types of CMEs usually take place from areas of the Sun with localized fields of strong and stressed magnetic flux; such as active regions associated with sunspot groups. CMEs can also occur from locations where relatively cool and denser plasma is trapped and suspended by magnetic flux extending up to the inner corona - filaments and prominences. When these flux ropes reconfigure, the denser filament or prominence can collapse back to the solar surface and be quietly reabsorbed, or a CME may result. CMEs travelling faster than the background solar wind speed can generate a shock wave. These shock waves can accelerate charged particles ahead of them – causing increased radiation storm potential or intensity.

Important CME parameters used in analysis are size, speed, and direction. These properties are inferred from orbital satellites’ coronagraph imagery by SWPC forecasters to determine any Earth-impact likelihood. The NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) carries a coronagraph – known as the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO). This instrument has two ranges for optical imaging of the Sun’s corona: C2 (covers distance range of 1.5 to 6 solar radii) and C3 (range of 3 to 32 solar radii). The LASCO instrument is currently the primary means used by forecasters to analyze and categorize CMEs; however another coronagraph is on the NASA STEREO-A spacecraft as an additional source.

Imminent CME arrival is first observed by the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite, located at the L1 orbital area. Sudden increases in density, total interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) strength, and solar wind speed at the DSCOVR spacecraft indicate arrival of the CME-associated interplanetary shock ahead of the magnetic cloud. This can often provide 15 to 60 minutes advanced warning of shock arrival at Earth – and any possible sudden impulse or sudden storm commencement; as registered by Earth-based magnetometers.

Important aspects of an arriving CME and its likelihood for causing more intense geomagnetic storming include the strength and direction of the IMF beginning with shock arrival, followed by arrival and passage of the plasma cloud and frozen-in-flux magnetic field. More intense levels of geomagnetic storming are favored when the CME enhanced IMF becomes more pronounced and prolonged in a south-directed orientation. Some CMEs show predominantly one direction of the magnetic field during its passage, while most exhibit changing field directions as the CME passes over Earth. Generally, CMEs that impact Earth’s magnetosphere will at some point have an IMF orientation that favors generation of geomagnetic storming. Geomagnetic storms are classified using a five-level NOAA Space Weather Scale. SWPC forecasters discuss analysis and geomagnetic storm potential of CMEs in the forecast discussion and predict levels of geomagnetic storming in the 3-day forecast.

Those crazy sun cycles are way long cycles and we're not near any of them. The eccentricity of our current orbit is a fraction of a percent (IIRC) of what those worst case cycles allow, and as of now the distance from sun to earth varies by less than 3 million miles summer to winter. The MUCH MUCH stronger effect is the Earth tilting on its axis.
Like it or not the most significant influence that's warming the Earth and pushing the climate to a state of uninhabitability by mankind is excessive greenhouse gas emissions. You can't possibly dispute the Earth's energy imbalance- that's a pretty simple concept to understand- it was very difficult to measure but they finally did it with space based instrumentation. The imbalance will cause the planet to heat to enough of a temperature differential for the heat to escape despite the impedance of atmospheric absorption by the greenhouse gases, a new equilibrium that won't be reached if they keep adding more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
There are too many people, nature is being overdrawn, it is a collective suicide whether there is global warming or not.

That tells you right there the big farms are way more productive than the mom and pop farms. One reason is the caliber of farm management. Another thing they don't mention is that a lot of these small farms can't support themselves with the farm so at least one of the owners works a full time job elsewhere in addition to their farming- that sort of makes the farming a part time thing. Another thing they're not mentioning is there's a lot fraud in farming. There are a lot of no goods who register as agricultural for purposes of tax breaks, subsidies, and getting paid NOT TO GROW anything.

Food from small, family farms is healthier because it contains fewer highly toxic, cancerogenic chemicals.

Large farms are managed like every industry branch

Profit, profit, profit

The problem is that the Netherlands raise lots of cows and pigs in very confined areas, and al those cows and pigs piss out urea, which contaminates the soil and the ground-water in the area

But we shouldn't be seeing it now. We are already in an interglacial and the tiny Milankovitch effects should be pushing us towards a new ice age. Dumping lots of CO2 into the atmosphere can help get you out of an ice age (where atmospheric CO2 levels sit around 180 ppm) to an interglacial (where they sit around 270 ppm, as ours did until we started burning fossil carbon for fuel and have now got it up to 412 ppm).

Al Gore just popularised the science at the point where the evidence for anthropogenic global warming became totally obvious.

The Netherlands is about the last place on earth where you will find hungry people. It has loads of greedy people - like the livestock farmers who insists over-stocking their farms to the point that the nitrogen waste (urine) from the beasts pollutes the local water table - but the Dutch have been well-feed and tall for the last few thousand years. Dante commented on their height around 1320.

USDA does mention part of that.

https://www.usda.gov/media/blog/2010/05/18/small-farms-big-differences

"In fact, all of the growth occurred among farms under $1,000 in sales.
These are classified as farms so long as they have enough land or
livestock to generate $1000, whether or not actual sales reach that
level. Most of these operations are better described as rural
residences; the households on these farms – and on many other small
farms – rely heavily on off-farm income."

Well, that is a dark picture you show.
Sure ... the next species .. if any ... will be more adapted...
But now we need to get rid of the green fanatics and make sure we have the technology to
stay alive, and that means nuclear.
THE MARKET FOR AIRCOS IN EUROPE IS A BIG ONE NOTE!!! (for the industry and investors)

Technology is our means of living through changes
Not brainless green fearful idiots like Merkel in Germany that did shut down nuclear power plants.

Think about that wind energy nonsense .. imagine those few windmills directly driving car wheels
so no losses... ALL THE CARS plus all cooking and heating and cooling..
DAFT!!! They want to go electric cars in a few years.
Somebody should lock up them green anti science weaning polar bear infected puppets!!
No
We are entering the dark ages .. no science .. THAT would be our destruction
Technology CAN save us as species, and in the long run we need nuclear propulsion
to reach other planets too!
Start NOW

Perhaps you could but they don't. The big sewage process plants are close to place with lots of humans, rather than lots of arm animals.

> There are a LOT more humans here though so it would be hardly noticed.

There are 12 million pigs in the Netherlands, and 1.6 millions cows (who produce ten times a much piss per individual as humans). The human population of the Netherlands is some 17 million people, so it would more than double the load on the sewage system, and probably would be noticed.

Yeah, I recall our scout troop spending a weekend harvesting fruit from an
orchard -- then discarding it! But, it allowed the landowner to claim the
land had been "actively farmed". Despicable. (yet most folks had no idea this
was the intent nor that it had, indeed, happened!)

Regardless of how effective your *management* techniques, if the crop
won't grow due to environmental/climate conditions, the end result
is unchanged.

Yet another right wing "tree hugger" who'll set up a solar or wind farm
to try to reclaim some of the value of his land (and sell the farm equipment
to someone who is a "good" farmer -- ha!). Heck, he may even switch to
driving an electric vehicle instead of his diesel pickup...

Not all that high. They do sub-contract a lot of production to places where human labour is cheaper - mostly China in recent years.

The USA is mostly rich - well endowed with natural resources, and it's population density is a low (about a tenth of Europe's) so the people mostly don't get in the way of exploiting them. Australia has an even lower population density and much the same sort of natural resources.

Looks like they're listing population per unit of land of the entire country. Of course that's going to be misleading. Below is another table of urban population density, population per unit of land within the city, derived from 2006 data, it's much worse now. U.S. has 140 million people crammed into its cities, and the urban population density is right up there with China and India.
http://demographia.com/db-intlua-area2000.htm
So there you have it, an overindulged population crammed into cities like sardines.

"Pérez said the reasons for this season's low production include a shortage of herbicides and fertilizers, a delay in starting up sugar mills, and even a lack of oxygen — which was hoarded by the health sector to combat COVID-19 — needed to repair breakages. He also blamed a lack of fuel and spare tires due to U.S. sanctions."

The cramming was mostly voluntary. Young things graduating from tiny

City densities have dropped lately. SF is down about 5%, which makes a
difference. I think more people are liking the idea of moving to a

Communists believe in the leading role of the party, which means that a small group, selected for their enthusiasm for politics, gets to tell the rest of the country what to do. They can be as ill-informed as John Larkin, and - if they are - things frequently go badly wrong. Most forms of government have the same basic problem. Donald Trump's approach to Covid-19 management wasn't all that expert.

Communists don't screw up any more often than other autocracies and the problem is in the autocracy, rather than the political system they claim to believe in.

Not so much replaced as supplemented by people who are willing to work for absurdly low rates of pay, which is why US capitalism has never been enthusiastic about effective border controls. It's also happy about exporting US jobs to countries where the rates of pay are even lower than US levels, but there are some domestic services where this doesn't work. They aren't high tech.

All it takes to sneak into our country is leaders who couldn't care less
and/or leaders who want to replace the lower class. That's apparently what
the establishment wants to do and that's one reason why the establishment
hates Donald Trump.

But in fact our current main problem isn't people who are sneaking into
our country. The problem is our current administration DOCUMENTED paroling
tens of thousands of illegal invaders into our country every month,
invaders who won't show up if they ever do have a hearing because they
will be told to leave.

Likely there will be backlash, but that won't stop the trend. Our elected
officials are not in control of America. The Deep State is currently a
well-known force, it has existed for centuries, and has ripened here in
America...

From a London Times article on Nov 11, 1815... "it is in this bureaucracy,
Gentlemen, that you will find the invisible and mischievous power which
thwarts the most noble views, and prevents or weakens the effect of all
the salutary reforms which France is incessantly calling for" (from a
speech by Jean Guillaume Hyde, quoted on Merriam-Webster's site)






Bozo Bill Sloman is an incessant liar from Australia who cannot be
reasoned with. Its fiction never ends.

"the user has posted under the same name in other places, so not
nym-shifting" (Bozo sucks at logic)

"the Mueller investigation was about Trump only because Trump made it so"
(Bozo being Bozo)

"the concepts "male" and "female" are essentially social constructions"

Try it sometime.

The US establishment has been importing cheap labour forever. That was what the slave trade was about.

They hate Donald Trump because he is an incompetent lying half-wit. The only people who don't are those who are too stupid to have noticed this.

The problem is our current administration DOCUMENTED paroling tens of thousands of illegal invaders into our country every month, invaders who won't show up if they ever do have a hearing because they will be told to leave.

But US employers want the cheap labour, so they couldn't care less.

Jake Isks is the backlash, such as it is. Rational people figure that if he doesn't like the situation it must be good for the rational majority.

Of course they are. Jake Isks doesn't like what they are doing, but that doesn't mean that they aren't in control.

> The Deep State is currently a well-known force, it has existed for centuries, and has ripened here in America...

Of course it is. It is also called a persistent delusion, and Jakes Isks is more flamboyantly deluded than most of the lunatics who believe this kind of nonsense.

> From a London Times article on Nov 11, 1815...

Which was talking about Napoleon's bureaucracy in France.This isn't going to tell us much about problems in America 200 years later, even if it does remind us that conspiracy theory lunatics are always with us.

But wrong. It should be "you are stupid" or "you're stupid", both of which happen to both correct and grammatical, not skills you have ever mastered.

Recycling old insults does let you edit out the insults which made you look foolish enough for even you to notice. I don't feel any need to repost any of them.

You 're an abject idiot along with the rest of the Trump Cult total

The USA is 100% immigrants, including you, Webb boy. I know of no

Uri Geller is all but fake

Wood's metal, also known as Lipowitz's alloy or by the commercial names Cerrobend, Bendalloy, Pewtalloy and MCP 158, is a metal alloy that is useful for soldering and making custom metal parts, but which is toxic to touch or breathe vapors from. The alloy is named for Barnabas Wood, who first created and patented the alloy in 1860.[1][2] It is a eutectic, fusible alloy of 50% bismuth, 26.7% lead, 13.3% tin, and 10% cadmium by mass. It has a melting point of approximately 70 °C (158 °F).[3][4]

Wood's metal is useful as a low-melting solder, low-temperature casting metal

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood%27s_metal

Magic Spoon




A metal spoon placed in the hot water disappears. It is made of low temperature melting alloy.

Materials
Soldering iron, dental impression material, plastic coffee spoon, tea cup, tea bag, electric kettle, ceramic plate, burner, test tube, balance

Chemicals
Hot water, Wood's metal, (you can prepare it by melting 10 g bismuth, 2 g cadmium, 5,4 g lead and 2,66 g tin).

Experimental

Prepare Wood's metal by melting 10 g bismuth, 2 g cadmium, 5,4 g lead and 2,66 g tin.
Pour the melted alloy on a ceramic plate.
After cooling crush it on a small pieces.
Prepare enough dental impression material according to the instructions.
Press the coffee spoon into the dental impression material to make a mold (Fig. 1).
Wait to get hard according to the instructions and than remove the spoon.
Place the Wood's metal pieces in the mold and melt them with the tio of the soldering iron.
If needed add more Wood's metal in the mold.
After cooling, remove the metal spoon and if necessary make some corrections of the shape (Fig. 2).

Fig. 1. Mold


Fig. 2. Magic spoons

To demonstrate the magic spoon, boil water and place it in the tea cup with a tea bag.
Then, stir the tea with the magic spoon.
Remove the spoon from the cup and ask the audience what happened with the spoon.

Observation and Discussion

Wood's metal is an alloy consisted of lead, tin, bismuth and cadmium. It is also known as Lipowitz's alloy, Bendalloy, Cerrobend, and Pewtalloy. It is a fusible alloy with a melting point of approximately 70 °C. When a spoon made of this alloy is inserted in a cup with hot tea it melts. It is unusually for a metal – metal alloy to have such a low melting temperature.

Safety Tips
Wood's metal is toxic because it contains lead and cadmium. Therefore contact with the bare skin is thought to be harmful. Wearing protective gloves are required when handling it. Cadmium poisoning carries the risk of cancer and damage to the liver, kidneys, nerves, bones, and respiratory system.
Take precautions to avoid electric shock. Keep electrical equipment away from water or any other liquid, conductive or not.

Immigrants aren't necessarily dumb. There is selective diffusion to
immigration. The most adventurous and the smartest and the bravest and
the most restless (and the most criminal) tend to emigrate. The upside
of that is the many great foreign-born scientists and engineers and
business types that we get. The US gets so many Nobel prizes partly
because the best scientists tend to emigrate here.

I wonder what is the mean IQ of our illegal immigrants?

Immigrants do initially push down the cost of low-end labor, which
hurts US worker-guys but helps middle and upper classes.

Would it not be simpler and safer to use a spoon made of sugar in the hot coffee?
Any food paint could make it look like silvery metal.

My telekinesis experiments go way back to high school days...
It seems to have worked on ByeThen's brain, he started saying funny things.

Could also be a defective Military Industrial Compex Control Chip implant though
or some drugs from his son?

The US gets many Nobel prizes because it's big, not because it has
a disproportionate number of smart scientists. Normalized to the
total population, you're not exceptional at all.

Granted, you're doing better than the EU.

I don't know where the 'sepo' comes from, but the 'gyny' refers to
women, so this makes no sense.

The 'miso' is 'hatred' so it should be more like 'miso-something',
where the something is some greek-derived term referring unequivocally
to the USA.

Come to think of it, much of the antipathy against the US dates
from the Bush administrations. How about 'misothamny'? (From
the Greek for bush or shrub.)

I read the story that it originally came from, the science fiction novel Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison, back when it first came out in 1966. Harry Harrison wasn't up to much. As a solution, cannibalism is nonsense, but presumably the kind of nonsense that appeals to you. You would be more useful feeding other people that you are at the moment, but the risk that whatever it is that has wrecked your brain might be passed on to the people who ate your remains, means that it it isn't a solution that anybody sane would recommend. The fact that you like it proves my point.

It has an unsustainable number of universities, mainly. The rest of the
Americas should actually do better than the US, outside of immigration
patterns.

Which has a lot to do with the number of universities.

Why the rest of the Americas doesn't beat us all is one my great
unanswered questions.

Nope! We're the most ordinary of people.

WWII and the post war periods were not kind to the EU. The EU could do
better if the embarrassment could subside. I mean really steer into
the phenomena that we all know now and accept that humans can be that
way, and that allowing people of actual conscience some space is the
only way to prevent it.

America is a strange place, one where we tried being Deliberate about
everything rather than pointing backwards to the path we used to get
here. It breeds a different sort of hilarity.

I think that in a lot of ways, the Canadians have us all beat. At a cost
to them.

It can be. I was born to the wrong sort of Cargill, and until
recently ( the Reaper has had his toll ) it was... familial.

I can claim Henson Cargill as a distant kinsman. See also "Skip a Rope"
( song ) .

Since your brought it up - in the hope that you find as much use for
this as I have - here is a map-UI-based database for farm subsidies.

It's basically a picture of who does farming in the United States.

When you drill down, the recipient is invariably "<x> Family Trust"
where <x> owns trucking, small industry and all manner of things.

I'd say he finally eliminated food insecurity. We used to get oranges at
Christmas - like "WTF? They got oranges everywhere now" but it was the
bony hand of the Depression offering the orange, from when people went
hungry.

My folks were Silents and the nostalgia for all that privation was
startling and palpable. We didn't know what an orange meant.

They did.

Absolutely hilarious. Not everybody should try their hand at songwriting

Yeah, well. People push the "lose" button all the time. Re Ron White:
"I had the right to remain silent, but I did not have the ability."

You mean SOY LENTil as intended in the book or the fillum which

My favorite riff on that is from "Waterworld" - "eat recycled food".


Think that one through.
