Geothermal heat... all of a sudden? Geologic processes take tens of thousands, if not millions of years to set in. And here we have geothermal heat in 5 decades.  Grin And as far as I know, there are only two or three active volcanoes in Antarctica (such as Mount Erebus and Mount Christos), and they are located far away from the most actively receding glaciers.
There is evidence that geothermal events such as magma movement is related to solar events, at least partially. The sun has been changing recently in its own cycle, and the earth has a different position on the opposite side of the solar plain. The magnetosphere of earth which allows us to have an atmosphere is generated by the movement of the molten magma around a large iron core, making earth basically a huge electrical dynamo. As solar flares hit earth, it interacts with the magnetosphere potentially changing the path of magma flow, possibly resulting in earthquakes and other fun geothermal activity alterations. It could very well be that it is caused by volcanoes, AND global warming (just not man made).

He is still an immigrant... I didn't intend to start a serious debate about it, but his citizenship has long been questionable.

There is one immigrant in particular adversely effecting  the USA. His name is Barry Soetoro.

How did he get elected?

Just like the president before him did, Diebold.

Wow, Never know this before. I would never watch television again. Does flat led computer monitor have the same hypnotic power as television do?
Yes, potentially a flat screen monitor can have the same effect, but since using a computer tends to be a more active conscious task, unless you are passively watching video the effect is not the same. The flash rate refers to the common standard of 24 frames per second. Recently the latest hobbit movie came out and was released with an increased flash rate and made many of the viewers feel nauseous or have headaches. More evidence of the power of brain entrainment over the body's physiological functions.  



You are confusing strobe-like flashing with frame rate. TVs typically display a frame rate of 24fps, but actually flash at a much higher frequency (anything from 50Hz, to 960Hz on newer plasma TVs). Some TVs/monitors actually flash each line one at a time (interlaced scanning), some flash the entire image at once (progressive scanning).

The Hobbit was filmed at 48fps instead of 24, but this has nothing to do with flashing - this is simply the frame rate (ie the still image changes 48 times per second). The actual refresh rate would depend on the projector used. It does look different, many newer TVs have a "100Hz" refresh rate which basically gives the same effect - The picture looks a lot smoother when there is fast movement on the screen. Personally I don't like the effect, I prefer the standard 24fps (it can look flickery when there is movement, but I think it just looks better).

As someone said upthread, the "hypnosis" is all to do with the CONTENT, and nothing to do with any brain entrainment or hypnotic flashing.

Don't get me wrong, I think TV these days is fucking mind numbing, it's all made to cater for our ever decreasing attention span. I think this is partly to do with there being so many competing channels/media portals, all vying for our attention. Attention = viewers = advertising revenue. It's all as simple as that, we seem to be stupid enough to fall for it without any hypnotic technology being involved.


I am not confusing anything. Frame rate = flashing still pictures at XXhz. The overall flashing varies depending on, as you mentioned, film frame rate as well as the actual viewing device used and its refresh rate. Regardless of the hz rate of a monitor you look at, the predominant visually perceived rate of the frame/flashing is dependent upon the video format settings. In short, even if your refresh rate is 70hz, the visually predominant effect will still be the frame rate, because the screen is often refreshed as you said one pixel line at a time. Additionally the higher the frequency, the less able the human eye is able to perceive it as an independent "frame" or flash if you will. At a certain point the human eye simply can not perceive them as independent frames any longer, physiologically reducing the perceptive effect of entrainment.

Ponzi / pump and dumps are not only unethical, they are severely harming the crypto economy by luring in more crooks (as if we didn't have enough) more leeches wanting free easy money with no work or desire to contribute to the community or its development, as well as siphoning money out of the crypto economy.

OP asks the community to kill scammers.

Dank is the 1st response, and asks a question that I can't really find a bearing to.

Are they handing out free catnip somewhere?

Maybe government paid provocateurs are joining bitcointalk  Huh
I am certain they have been here for some time, they are simply getting emboldened.

Unfortunately the math isn't adding up.  If they're spending $75 billion on food stamps the money is being misappropriated on fraud or bureaucracy.  Instead of issuing money, it would be cheap to drive door to door with cans of corn, peas, tuna, etc and deliver to hungry families.  Now they give out plastic cards that are sold in alleyways and on craigslist to pay for drug habits.
Until recently guess who managed those cards... JP Morgan.

While I concede that the welfare system is heavily abused, the good it does far outweighs these issues as long as incentive to leave these programs is maintained. If you are really concerned about the fiscal health of the nation I suggest you take a closer look at the trillions of dollars stolen from our nation by banks. The welfare and entitlement programs are a DROP IN THE BUCKET compared to what banks have stolen from us all.

I am seeing an increasing number of provocateur type posts on these forums. Please use good judgement when posting so as not to get baited into statements that may justify actions on your person by law enforcement entities, however theoretical they may be.

You should edit your original first post of this thread and include a description of your services, available products, website link, policies, and forms of payments accepted. This will make customers more willing and able to use your services.

BTW I am a customer and I am very satisfied with Andelin's product and services. A+

Brain entrainment has been known to exist as far back as the 1800's. This is by far not an extraordinary claim. There is a plethora of documentation on the matter if you actually care to know, you are perfectly capable of looking for yourself. I have no desire to try to educate people such as yourself who are too fucking lazy to put a few words into a search engine to look for themselves. You aren't interested in learning, you are here to jerk off your egos and argue like petulant children.

Marketing is mass hypnotic.

The signal flickering from tv is not.


Yes, I am sure science is wrong and you are right. Hypnosis does not exist. Go back to sleep.
