Really great projection. Here are two display concepts: 1) "Spirit Bottle" - Using 5 gallon GLASS jugs (as from old style water delivery), fill 85% with water and place UV lamps behind them. Then, when ready, drop a quarter gram of either fluorescein dye or rhodamine dye onto the water surface. As the powder drops down, it creates interesting clouds of green or red light. 2) "Fire Bottle" - Using the same kind of GLASS jug, pour a cup of +90% isopropyl alcohol or ethanol inside. Shake and swirl to coat the interior. Gingerly light a match and toss it in. As the flame front burns, the exhaust produces a loud whistling whoosh, sometimes followed by a repeated poofing. The flame is fascinating. We used to use the exhaust effect as a contest to blow out a candle. I've never had one actually explode, but consider that to still be possible. Ya pays yer money and takes yer chances...

Beau of the Fifth Column - Let's talk about Republicans rejecting democracy.... [youtube.com]

racocn8 comments on Aug 2, 2021:

We have long had the joke that the Russians would sell us the rope with which we'd hang ourselves. The Republicans sold out to the Evangelicals who are very easily manipulated, and up till Reagan, had shrank away from politics. They became engaged, and lowered the collective political IQ by 25 points (my guess). The truth is that democracy doesn't work unless the society is reasonably well informed. Evangelicals are obviously delusional and place patriotism LAST, AFTER loyalty to the pulpit, to the party, to their race. Part of their psychosis is a complete disregard for truth, so their real loyalty to the Country is easily set aside; they scarcely understand the democratic principles the country stands for, as Beau points out.

While big-money interests keep the Republican Party afloat, the rank and file draw significantly from Evangelicals who have adopted the Q-cult mania. White Nationalists make up another contingent which again, avoids truthful sources and lives to espouse hatred and conspiracies. These people certainly display the behaviors one sees among cult members. "....what is happening now are not the actions of a cult." Given the responses to mask-wearing and vaccination, describing these people as cult members seems apt. I totally agree that the media white-washes Republican behaviors; most of the media ARE the big-money interests that support the Republicans.

Whatever infection does develop will be much less. Essentially no vaccinated people need intubation, and very few need any care at all. However, they are just as infectious as non-vaccinated people. -Even if you've had Covid, you should get the vaccine. Be prepared for a strong secondary immune response to the vaccine (fever, headache, chills).

The Delta Variant of Covid?

racocn8 comments on Jul 17, 2021:

Delta is a mutated Covid 19. Covid 19 has many dozens of mutated versions, but most of these have been out-competed by the more effectively spreading mutations, i.e. Delta. So far, the vaccines confer immunity that is effective against Delta and the other variants. While the vaccines were developed to act against the original Covid 19 spike protein, the immune system develops receptors to attach to various parts of the spike protein. Thus, mutations in the spike protein reduce the effectiveness of the immune response, but enough immunity remains to quickly recognize incoming virus and mount a defense. New vaccines can be developed against the variants, but as long as the virus is mutating, it is a moving target.
