Bill Cosby Conviction Overturned By Pa. Supreme Court

Whether one agrees or not with the court's decision, everyone should be able to agree he doesn't pose a threat to the public.

SiFi- A Failed Pandemic Response

The Vidiians experience Phage (a ever evolving viral mutation)

Yeah sure this was science fiction but imagine what could have happened if our researchers hadn't come up with a covid vaccine. This assuming they have since ours too continues to mutate. Hey just saying :-)

RCC Workaround Florida Gov Orders

nypost.com
Royal Caribbean asks unvaccinated Florida guests to show proof of insurance "In Florida, the government bars companies from requiring to show proof of vaccines... The insurance policy must have a minimum of $25,000 per person for medical expenses and $50,000 per person in travel expenses, Royal Caribbean said."

Don't blame RCC. They were forced into this by Florida's governor. Goes to show you what happens when government politics sticks it to big business. They fight back.

Had Florida allowed RCC to go ahead with it's all vaccination requirement I'm quite certain this wouldn't have been a necessary imposition on the cruise ship's travelers out of Florida.

People got a problem?

Go speak to the governor for interfering with the cruises industry's cautious health policies which would have required all passengers to be fully vaccinated..

China Has Largest Hydropower Plants In The World

interestingengineering.com
China's Second Largest Hydropower Dam Starts Generating Electricity "The plant, which is set to be second in capacity only to the Three Gorges Dam [also in China], will consist of 16 1-gigawatt (GW) turbines, giving it the largest single-unit capacity in the world... The dam was also built in order to help meet China's climate change goals, with the country aiming for carbon neutrality by 2060..."

On the downside as I understand it when Chinese government wants to do something they just do it without consideration to farmers or other environmental concerns.

Considering our hydropower is beginning to dry up with the droughts in the west they seemed to have begun outpacing us when it comes to moving away from fossil fuels.

If the United States wishes to remain the world leader we face a steep road ahead.

Online Purchase Advice

While my VISTA account no longer generates virtual account numbers my MasterCard still does. I use this to generate a temporary account number (different from my card) with a dollar limit I can set.

I just used this because one of my renewals required me to accept auto pay. Something I will not stand for. So good luck to them trying to charge me anything further.

I've used this a number of times before because some sites save my credit card information. I'm not going to risk my information being stolen if someone hacked their site.

Sometimes these banking websites don't make it obvious but if one searches their site when logged in there is a good possibility they might have one.

Never use auto pay for anything. Any mistake they make will take weeks, months or maybe never at all after kissing their behinds trying to correct. It can also result in unexpected overdraft fees. Even possibly draining someone's account completely.

Why anyone would do this is beyond me.

It's like handing over strangers keys to the vault.

Death By Auto-Tune

Hard to know what is real anymore even when they're in concerts. Believe it or not I usually can tell the difference. Mostly because I have this same software which can do this on my computer.
