Does anyone think it’s weird that we’re not seeing more doom-laden conspiracy theories? That the virus is way worse than the government admits or that the media reports and far more people are dying? I’m not saying that I believe that, it just feels like the obvious place for those theories to go. It would even tie into the perennial theme of the NWO or whoever wanting to cull the populace to stop overpopulation. So why do all the theories seem to be that the virus isn’t real, or is overblown in some way?

They tell you that there is order and structure, they are a comfort blanket. The virus is what's currently scaring people so they aren't going to start believing it's worse, much more likely to go the other way.

My gf follows RT on facebook because it's full of crackpots and the non stop conspiracy theories are funny. The main ones seem to be: It's actually 5g killing everyone and covid is a cover up, It's a secret plot by the germans to revenge over brexit, Antivaxxers thinking it's a plot to scare everyone into being vaccinated, The new world order tricking everyone to stay inside so we won't notice them implementing their order. There's more, I'll take note.

A one off high blood pressure reading doesn't mean anything unless it's extreme with no reason, it fluctuates through the day depending on what you're doing. Unless it's above 180/120 you're supposed to get a 24 hour blood pressure monitor and you only get diagnosed with high blood pressure if the average is high.

Been measuring at home myself for a year (a week or so here and there) and writing it down, on doctors orders. Every time I sit up it's like that or higher so for my part it wasn't a sudden decision. I have diabetes (not type 1 or 2, just damaged pancreas) so I get regular checkups and BP is extra important ot keep down as well when you have the diabeetus.

Exactly, it's like this is perfectly calibrated to trigger boomer scepticism. Since the early 90s, multiple foreign strains of the flu as well as other infectious diseases have been touted as the next pandemic, and thanks to luck, actual global cooperation, and effective public health responses none of them has hit the West in a meaningful way. Now that a big chunk of the boomers have aged out of standard neoliberalism into ethnonationalism, it fits perfectly with their view of the world that this is just another overblown, hysterical attempt by the MSM to stir up some news coverage and hurt the conservative governments in power.

It's because by far the biggest strand in prepper thought is the Turner Diaries. They'll talk about zombies or paratroopers (domestic or foreign) but even the slightest scratch of the surface reveals who it really is that they're thinking of protecting themselves from.

Can anyone with the right statistical or scientific knowledge tell me if these conclusions on lead in Alpine ice, air pollution in the 1100s and Thomas Becket are complete bollocks or not, because it sure sounds like it to me: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-52095694

It all sounds about right but the conclusion is worded perhaps misleadingly  It's only talking about lead pollution though, so where it sounds misleading is "They argue that the idea that atmospheric pollution started with the industrial revolution are incorrect." because nobody is actually saying that. Pliny the Elder describes Romans removing entire loving mountains to look for gold underneath, and there's evidence of the pollution that caused. The mines at Almadén produced 250,000 metric tons of mercury over nearly two millennia of operation, mostly operated by slaves or prisoners, and there's plenty of evidence of the pollution that caused. Nobody anywhere is saying "air pollution began in 1729 when John Thomas Air-Pollution invented it", so they seem to be deliberately conflating heavy metal air contamination with the extraction and burning of fossil carbon, which are two completely different things.

Identify this suburban sound for me cause it's driving me absolutely apeshit: it's like an idling car engine, lasts for 15-20 seconds and raises in pitch before it suddenly stops, like 'brrrrrrrRRRRTT'. It happens fairly regularly in the morning and evening, and I can hear it regularly out the back window (facing other houses), but I can't pinpoint where it's coming from. Some kind of water pump refilling or something?

There was a dip in lead/silver smelting right around AD 1170, but there is a 2.9 year (+-1.5 year) margin of error in that range of the ice core record. I'd still say it's probable that that dip is probably connected to the disruption surrounding Becket's actions, though, given that tax records do indicate a major drop in income in that year. Edit: Just for a little further clarity: ice cord records like these are mostly laminated by annual snowfalls, and if you can pin down specific unusual atmospheric phenomena by analysing each layer, you can produce an annual-layer chronology. The fixed chronological points employed in this record were the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eldgjá, in AD 939 and the huge decrease in production after the onset of the Black Death, which first occurred in AD 1349. To quote the article: quote:Theoretically, while there could have been a 35- to 40-year error at the point in the ice dated to 1349 by layer-counting, in practice the lead intensity plummeted to levels barely measurable precisely at the layer-counted ice dated to 1349. This independently demonstrates that there was no actual error in the annual layer-counting in the mid fourteenth century. The CG Eldgjá marker was dated by layer-counting to 945, giving a maximum error of six years from the eruption date in 939. Therefore, a six-year error margin had accumulated over the 410-year interval between 1349 and 939. Assuming an equal build-up of error, the error margin envelope encompassing this study would be 1.8 years at MeinPanzer fucked around with this message at 08:52 on Mar 31, 2020 |
