Robecology comments on Jan 28, 2019:

Woa...attitude check. If you call it a "miserable day" before it even happened...then you're almost guaranteeing it's gonna be miserable. Talk to a hotline. You need some one-on-one conversation.

A little dose of truth about the situation in Venezuela, from journalists who have worked there.

Robecology comments on Jan 28, 2019:

I hate Trump. Having said that; He accidentally made a good point. We need to help Venezuela...but we don't need to "demand a deal" before we do it. Most oil owners want to deal with folk who are willing to buy their product. If we go in and "liberate" Venezuela (which we -through Saudi and the mid-east deals helped bankrupt) we won't be doing it with a clear conscience. I can't control what happens....and it's pretty clear Trump is pushing an invasion....but I hope it doesn't happen. I hope Trump is arrested before we get involved. I'm also hoping Bob Mueller gets busy and lays his cards on the table soon.

C'mon, @SpikeTalon If you read the original research they're warning us that in 12 years that global warming might accelerate and be almost impossible to stop....if we don't take corrective measures now. Read the research...here it is, in the conservative "Guardian". Now, can we live without ice? Sure we can. Can we live with seas rising at the rate of feet per year? No doubt. Dinosaurs never saw ice nor snow. The problem is that the warming will happen so fast that it will cost our kids and grandkids a lot to fix....what we could fix now. Not a bad idea? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/08/global-warming-must-not-exceed-15c-warns-landmark-un-report

Robecology comments on Jan 27, 2019:

I started out (turned 18 in '63) being a Republican. Ike did great things for our nation. Unfortunately, I thought his VP then...Nixon...would follow in his footsteps. That was the last time I voted Republican. Ideally the Republicans are cool. Minimal government over-reach. Careful, conservative research on any new proposals. ...but those ideals got messed up along the way. Avoiding government control meant getting filthy rich and ignoring rules for investment, and not caring about the environment to get rich. Research proving fossil fuels cause global warming -something classic conservatives relished (research) made them go bonkers and run to protect their investments - and block the EPA. You could say that greed - being a perfect addiction (nothing to smoke, inject, ingest, your family loves your habit) killed the Republican party.

Love us ALL some more Betty?

Robecology comments on Jan 27, 2019:

She was decades ahead of her time. Died in relative obscurity; many profited from her pictures...she didn’t. A material girl long before Madonna, Page was a 1950s pinup/porn model who emerged from the wilds of Tennessee to achieve a brief, X-rated notoriety - and to inspire such revisionist tributes as ''The Betty Page Story.'' In New York the well-paid cheesecake sensation became a star of fetish photography; in soft-core films she showed a contagious delight in posing in lacy undies, dancing in high heels and getting spanked by other beautiful women. Unfortunately too many "friends" knew how to spend her pay. In 1959, Page converted to evangelical Christianity and worked for Billy Graham, studying at Bible colleges in Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon, with the intent of becoming a missionary. The latter part of Page's life was marked by depression, violent mood swings, and several years in a state psychiatric hospital suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. Summoned to appear before the 1950-51 anti-porn Kefauver congressional hearings, Page was accused of inciting juvenile delinquents to crime and humiliated before a gaping nation. Her films were destroyed; the few that weren't are collectors items today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bettie_Page

Robecology comments on Jan 27, 2019:

I've been lucky...call it good genes, and/or being born first in a group of many bros and sis...but looking young has actually hurt me, more than helped. Lying about one's age? Maybe it depends on who's asking them; a job interview? a date/potential mate? If the real date is discoverable you're just setting yourself up to be labeled a deep, chronic liar.

What's the World's Largest Dinosaur?

Robecology comments on Jan 27, 2019:

Good, detailed studies. As a science teacher (45 years, retired) who dabled in Paleo-environments, I'm impressed with the drilling and core studies being done. An interesting fact about Dino evolution; most of the time they were on earth, it was so hot that it's likely that there was no snow or ice anywhere. They lived in very high temp areas...which explains their relatively "naked/nude" lack of feathers or fur...and their natural mobility (having little control over homeostasis - they were not considered "warm-blooded" but depended on the hot environment). Toward their end....which, as the article suggests, might have been as long as 10,000 years - it got colder, as more volcanc ash rose and, along with the increased CO2, the ash blocked a lot of sunlight. It was then that small, furry mammals evolved....and it was a good thing, for us, that they did. Otherwise, we'd have green skin, cold blood, slit-shaped pupils, and our young would be hatched....in other words....intelligent reptilia could have evolved,,, ,,,and we would actually welcome global warming!

Exercise or alcohol? ??

Robecology comments on Jan 26, 2019:

Exercise is good..but that's a few minutes to an hour once a day. We eat 3-6 times a day. Diet is far more important. Let hunger work for you. All animals but humans deal with it daily. We need hunger for longevity. When you feel it, know that your body is kicking in enzymes to dissolve and shrink your fat cells (you actually never lose fat cells...they just get smaller or larger).

Brown the garlic and onion. Pressure cook the potatoes...or to avoid the starch - pass on them. Brown the Kielbasa first and drain off the fat. Frozen veggies are good, fresh veggies are great. Spice it up, add some pepper and oregano. Try beans, or lentils instead of potatoes; far more protein.

She never said this.

We can, and should, make gun ownership more responsible. This could put many vets to work...and make our gun death numbers drop.

Robecology comments on Jan 23, 2019:

If you search "World education level, graph, data" you find that knowledge is growing...and it isn't just a straight line rise....it's parabolic (curving upwards)....so the pace of education is picking up. ...and I firmly believe that it's happening just in time. -us Demographers know that the key to controlling population is education. A demographic transition starts when a portion of the world develops an ability to grow; whether it's a change in the overall health, an infusion of technology, a new way to get water, etc...a DT starts when any region starts an explosive, parabolic-curve growth in population. When does that growth level off? Yep...you guessed it...when education level within that area rises. Smarter people have fewer kids. -and with that rise in education comes the death of myths, and the growth of morality for the sake of survival...not because some myth "told them to behave". So I'm optimistic. I see us reaching ZPG soon....and s serious decline in Religion as well.

If folks die from stroke or heart attack "precipitated" by a good buzz - do you honestly think they'd put "cannabis overdose" or even "cannabis use" on the death certificate? ...but this does make an argument for legalization. If pot "overdose" was a medical issue; then victims wouldn't be afraid to seek help. Perhaps there'd be less "overdose" if it were regulated...if you knew it wasn't contaminated...if you knew "the dose"...which legalization would encourage. ...and yes...there are "victims"...

Jesus Christ, hurry up! A smooth merlot please. ?

A guess you have to know the song that was big back when this joke originated; in 1940.. "Pardon me, boy, is that the "Chattanooga Choo Choo" Chattanooga Choo Choo Glenn Miller Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo? Track twenty nine, boy you can gimme a shine I can afford to board a Chattanooga Choo Choo I've got my fare and just a trifle to spare You leave the Pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to four Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer Than to have your ham 'n' eggs in Carolina When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar Then you know that Tennessee is not very far Shovel all the coal in, gotta keep it rollin' Woo, woo, Chattanooga, there you are There's gonna be a certain party at the station Satin and lace, I used to call funny face She's gonna cry until I tell her that I'll never roam Songwriters: Mack Gordon / Harry Warren Chattanooga Choo Choo lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

We used to have respect for smokers. They were glorified in film. I think we're almost entirely aware that to want to use a nicotine addicting product is self-defeating - dare I say suicidal? Smoking - like most drug addictions - dropped in popularity from simple education and awareness. Should we have a heroin-opiates-addict group? Same question...isn't it?

Me three!

I lived in Colorado for a few months at the home of my niece, who is like a daughter to me.

Wow; the first one; clearly a scammer. Did you brag about being wealthy? At least you had some practice spotting them..chalk it up to experience.

I didn’t realize border security was racist.

Robecology comments on Jan 22, 2019:

Racism is ingrained in many of us. We've come a long way from segregation - but my folks were racist, and I find myself letting racist comments slip in - even though I know it's wrong. Xenophobia, fear of strangers - is a common offshoot for pressure on immigrants. Let's remember; the data shows crime rates are far lower among immigrants.

Meh...this is up (or down) there with "are there aliens" "can we travel at light speed" and "what's it like falling in to a black hole"....I support the idea that there were many "big bangs" and that this wasn't the first - nor will it be the last. https://physics.aps.org/articles/v5/142
