11901  Other / Politics & Society / Re: I was asked to use a hand sanitiser this morning. on: March 02, 2020, 10:00:29 AM
i can understand truck stops have truckers from different regions and even abroad stopping by. but some places just go over the top when their local news says their is suspected cases nearby

most of it is media. talking about how some schools in that area had kids sent home sick.
where some students had recently been on a school trip to italy

i wouldnt mind using hand sanitiser if im shaking peoples hands or touching things a random group of people would also touch. but i would hope that the truck stop chef atleast had a high grade hygiene certificate himself. and was not wiping his sweat and snot into his hands before then touching burger buns (gordon ramseys kitchen/hotel renovation shows really highlight the real risk to getting sick)

id be more concerned with ecoli and/or getting run over by a truck in said truck stop than i would be of corona

but things get a little over the top when you start seeing people rub alcohol and hand sanitiser on their steering wheel when they are the only ever driver of their own car.

im just waiting for project immigration fear to start treating asian tourists as terrorists.. i can already sniff this sort of crap happening

HIV weakens the immune system so people need antibiotics to protect them from other viruses
these antibiotics dont cure HIV or help HIV. they re used to help prevent people get other flu's
 

Bullocks, injecting Anti-biotics, aka against living organisms = death does not protect from anything it kills bacteria, fungus....
It does so very effective including the good bacteria which the body needs.

It can not kill a virus as it is not alive to start with. Viruses can not reproduce and need a host to make more of them.
Once host is infected it will stay with the host until the temperature reaches 30°C / 86°F, outliving the host.
Once the immune overpowers it, it keeps it under control, seduces it. Some viruses are crafty and escape easy, herpes reappearances are common.

again. not to try getting into a rebuttal. but things like antibiotics are not to cure things like HIV
let me take a second to remind you of the V
its VIRUS
its to protect people against other things that way if someone who is old and has a weak imune system for instance based on diabetes or something else. if they get corona they dont also want their body fighting off something else at the same time. like many things like ecoli, MRSA and such.

again. antibiotics are not used to cure HIV or corona.
there is no link between HIV and corona.
again. the medication that people with weak immune systems already due to many reasons. will be given things like antibiotics which these many things like diebetes hiv corona can cause weak immune systems

again. just to try and clarify to you. the media and some numpties here are trying hard to make it sound like corona is HIV based. purely due to the medication corona sufferers get also being medication HIV sufferers get.
it has nothing to do with curing the virus..
get that point?
its to do with helping them be protected from other stuff while their immune system is compromised by things like HIV, diebetes and corona

here is an analogy for you
if you smoke. one thing doctors advise is to use toothpaste to prevent gum and teeth problems with smoking
if you eat candy one thing doctors advise is to use toothpaste to prevent gum and teeth problems with candy
stupid people will say that candy is related to smoking. all due to toothpaste advice
do you get it. do you get the stupidity of that assumption?

Exactly. It's absurd and racist to suggest that superficial differences such as skin colour are relevant....

There are numerous genetic differences between africans and various whites, to suggest "racism" in the context of a medically oriented discussion is a level of profound ignorance.

when a flu has a 99.8% survival rate for a 21yo for any race, but then dont mention that part.
but instead pick up on the fact that he is not asian as the only sole reason for survival.
like it is the colour of skin that makes it special
this is a massive issue of misinformation and trying to set up a narrative based on skin colour. thus racial based
11904  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is the Corona Virus A Bioweapon? on: March 01, 2020, 04:43:25 AM
do some research folks
corona virus has been around since the 1960's
its not new.
each strain each year varies abit due to natural mutation.

each more severe strain usually gets given a big buzzword name like sars or mers. and all other varients are just called flu

the reason the word corona virus has not been spoken in media so much is because instead of letting communities really study it and check how severe it is. media grabbed it before it got a public name and misunderstood it and just gave it the broad term corona virus because they didnt know any better.

so now people suddenly think corona is new, and deadly.
fact is corona viruses have been around for over 60 years

and yes just because you got the flu 2 years ago doesnt mean you'll never get the flu again.
just stop trying to make out that this seasons flu is a 99% killer.. when the reality is if your under 50yo you got a 99% chance of being fine
stop trying to make out its as bd as aids where once you got it your stuck with it and eventually will be the death of you.
flu's come and go. new seasons new years new sniffles and coughs

heck i bet people didnt even know that swine flu was actually called
porcine delta corona virus

yep corona virus is common.
but each year the strain changes and causes a different symptoms
in short. its the friggen flue and been around since the 1960's so will everyone calm the hell down with all the conspiracy theories

as for the stupidity of linking it to HIV
HIV weakens the immune system so people need antibiotics to protect them from other viruses
these antibiotics dont cure HIV or help HIV. they re used to help prevent people get other flu's
this does not mean corona20 causes hiv or mutated from hiv. it just means general antibiotics used for many purposes are being used for corona 20.
11905  Other / Politics & Society / Re: middle east still full of violent and hateful islamists on: March 01, 2020, 04:11:02 AM
its actually not got anything to do with left winger/right winger
thats just the political buzzwording once media hve grabbed and twisted the narrative

its actually wester invaders taking land nd resources.
things like this happened in africa over 50 years ago when millions were displaced so western big-agri could take over. and even now 70 years on people are homeless without sanitation and clean water.
all due to invaders coming in and taking lnd and making people live miles away from their natural habitats

the middle east is the same thing. but modern history tries glossing over the wars that even go as far back as the ottoman empire and even before world war 1.

the problem is not that islamists are angry with their own country and the rest of the world. the problem is they are losing their country to the rest of the world.

and the west isnt helping
with one hand they pretend to be globalist saying everyone should be allowed to go places and the west should be allowed to come into the east.
but then when the east want to come into the west even just to settle and hve a family. they are treated like criminals and outcasts.

difference being if the west go east to invade. its western defense
if the east go west for a peaceful life. its illegal immigration, threat to western national security

the west can terrorise the east and media wont call it terrorist
the east can just say they are angry with the west and suddenly thats terrorism

im not endorsing the lunatics who go to extremes. but tarnising a whole race/religion//community with one brush is just not even bothering to comprehend the scope of whats actually going on, nor even considering solutions or consequences

if the west feel threatened that they will get killed for entering the east.. simple. just stop going there
11906  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Coronavirus Outbreak on: March 01, 2020, 03:56:55 AM
lets not forget that 2019 did not invent the term 'corona virus'

corona viruses were around even in the 1960's.
a few stupid people think a 1990's cartoon TV show (simpsons) predicted 2020.. but that is wrong. people commonly get corona virus every year.
ITS THE FLU PEOPLE!!!
 
what people do not realise is once identified which strain/mutation a particular year/season has become worthy of making a deal out of they usually give it a more buzzwordy public name such as the 2002 SARS or the 2016 MERS

this 2019/20 strain is SARS based but because media latched onto it and doomsdayed it as something huge and didnt understand it. they actually didnt even have time to give it a specific buzzwordy name.

so yes people are now hearing the word corona virus and conspiracy theorising that in 2019-20 is some new invention in a lab and some cartoon in the 1990's predicted 27 years into the future.
reality is corona viruses have been around us since the 1960's.. the only difference now is racial hatred towards china in media, fast internet speeds to spread misinformation and more freespeach to let stupid people think they know better

im all for free speach and spreading information.. but will people just do a simple task of doing some friggen research first

alot of people are now trying to spout project fear of a new strain that is symptomless until its 50% severe. but this is just project fear and project misunderstanding at work.

the truth is that firstly people thought corona was super nasty causing vomiting blood and other nasties as the symptoms. where as only 5-15% would suffer from that.
so those only having the sniffles and a gentle cough would not think they were at risk to seek a doctor or would self contain themselves at home and so it would appear that they were healthy based on medical reports because they would only go seek treatment and create the medical report once things progressed.

its not some big new strain thats invisible until one day sudden death occurs..
its the same symptoms but many are just not seeking medical attention or trying to make family friends aware of it due to fear of death from just sniffles.

even things like wearing a facemask makes people think they are protected while the mask itself is affecting their breathing patterns. so they just chalk up their shortness of breath to be just due to the facemask, and think nothing of it.

so dont worry about thinking some new deadly strain has occured that is symptomless until its too late.. that is not the case.
and i hope people wise up and calm down and stop the fear mongering.

in this topic the best advice i seen recently is this
1. if you have a cough, sniffles or breathing problems, stick away from visiting elderly family
2. if your under 50 care more about crossing the road and not getting run over more so than the virus
3. if you are short of breath. even if you think its due to smoking, smog, face masks or a fast paced lifestyle. check your temperature and try to seek some medical help just to rule it out.
4. even with point 3 mentioned dont worry about YOUR risk of death(unless your crossing the road without looking), just think about it as more of a way to know if your safe to visit parents/grandparents or just caring about spreading it

fact check africa is not spared due to abything biological about africans.
the one myth of the 21yo african who recovered is not due to his dna but due to the fact that he is 21yo.. which has a 99% survival rate for any human of same age

fact check two.
africa has not ben swamped with cases becuase most of the country cannot afford 3 healthy meals. let alone plane tickets to just travel around the world regularly.
its poverty has limited its exposure.

fact check. as of today there are cases occuring in africa. so this topic is debunked o any myth that africa is safe.

moving on
in other news
if your under 50yo you got a 99% chance of surviving it even if you get it no matter what climate, culture, race, dna you have
if your over 80yo you got a 85% chance of surviving it even if you get it no matter what climate, culture, race, dna you have
AGE                    DEATH RATE*
80+ years old          14.8%
70-79 years old        8.0%
60-69 years old        3.6%
50-59 years old        1.3%
40-49 years old        0.4%
30-39 years old        0.2%

tre's have an important part for lung health.. but so does for instance filling old quarries with water and turning them into algea /seaweed ponds/farms

as oppose to drylands and concrete cities dont help water to evaporate.

and sorry jetcash but more water in the air is better.. it will cool the land and reflect the sun off the land
(more rainbows the better)
not sure why you think that less carbon=trees sucking up more water from soil and releasing it from pores as being a problem.

any way.
each region of the planet should adopt different tactics
cities should have carbon absorbers(lung health) and mist makers(temperature control).

use old rock/mineral quarry's as premade potential lakes and water life based farming
woodland should not just be cut and move on. but cut and replanted.

vegetable farms can become efficient greenhouses using solar and finely tuned red blue LED lights. maximising yields for less costs and because its in sealed greenhouses no pesticides or herbicide risks.

water ways to reintroduce muscles and oysters and clams to clean water and also use water surface skimmer machines/nets to get some of the plastics out the water without hooking fish up.

stop building houses/buildings at costal edges /floodlands

use snow making machines/misters near the poles
..
the whole 'just plant tree's' is a weak effort

..
as for the extent of things like 'water level rising'..
its happened many times before

heck people think the flood in new orleans is climate change.. no the reason thousands of homes got flooded is because they buiid cheap houses on swamp land for the poor people like the ethnic community.

if you live in an area where an old house is built on stilts.. expect to experience some flooding in your life time no matter what the climate change reasons are
11911  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why are Africans immune to coronavirus, is the virus meant to erase the white on: February 27, 2020, 08:29:23 PM
a few facts to check

1. the chance of someone under 50 dying from corona is under 1%
chance of someone over 80 is 14%

basically 6 or 7 people over 80 need to get it to have 1 die
africa still suffers from a problem of not many living beyond 60-70. and in many cases not above 30 de to non corona virus issues .. so the pool of people most at risk dont exist for it to be a risk

secondly
the supposed media of a african person recovering.. he as 21y. meaning he had 99% chance of recovery no matter what skin/race he was

can people actually try using google a bit more and actually find information. and stop just posting media headlines.. its getting rediculous
11912  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Why are Africans not using cryptocurrencies? on: February 26, 2020, 06:36:09 PM
i have visited africa a few times

africans are very involve with crypto. but they are very wary of two main things
1. westerner based economies
2. the fee's to start/use/exit a crypto

many foolish and wishful thinkers think bitcoin is a big thing in africa. but its not. the tx fee alone is more than an hours labour for an african.

many fools then try to think LN is the solution. but again LN is not bitcoin but requires locking up funds and 2 tx fee's just to use LN as a system and btc as a exit currency off that system.

many africans are looking at cheaper fee altcoins in conjunction with LN but have very much moved off the idea of bitcoin and bitcoin in conjunction with LN

.. for now though they know and trust and are used to mpesa which has done them good and the fee's are acceptable so its a struggle to try selling them on the idea of btc and even LN with btc backed funds

i foresee africa going the altcoin route and eventually if LN ever(i doubt) fixes its flaws would use LN as the tool for interpersonal swaps.

...
another thought
the other aspect of what gives a crypto an underlying value is the cost of its creation(mining) pos coins have no underlying cost so can easily become dead coins. where as minable coins hve  cost involve which makes the coin harder to zero out.

same as real mineral gold mining. if it cost $900 to mine an ounce.. add speculative value on top and market price would be $1.1k-1.5k.. if gold cost $10 to mine with s spoon and coffee filter in your backyard. it may sell for $15. but still worth more than zero as it has a purpose too

africa is not the right climate for mining based crypto's so them starting one of their own wont be very good. so they are very wary of this and of the fact that they dont like using other peoples currencies if they can avoid it/if not benefit to them.

they see pos altcoins as too risky. and more chance of volatility/project death. so if they were to use one it would be a minable coin with low fee onchain and also longevity prospects due too world wide accessability and real world purpose
11913  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Is this guy a swindler? on: February 26, 2020, 06:22:56 PM
the reason a lawyer can charge $500 an hour for their clients is because they have years of law training and practice to back it  up whereby that 1 hour is absolutely useful to the client.

however $500 for someone using a drop and drag program doesnt show any 'value' for an hours work.
and maybe the end result didnt look professional.

..
all i would say is if your not a professional. dont try or dare attempt to pay professional fee's
and to add to that. the worse customer you should dare overcharge is a law firm. thats just asking for trouble (next is mafia)
11914  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Should I give up? on: February 26, 2020, 06:13:12 PM
in a financial system. money is key. and by you not addressing the money side it makes people feel that they wont get anthing while you get rich.

as for the project itself. a fatal flaw i see is.
you promising a user of say $10 of coinX $10 of your coin.
firstly where is the real fiat to convert out from your coin going to come from.
you cant promise $10 due to market dynamics.

who would buy your coin if its a non-absolute coin(non-fixed supply)
what features would the coin have as a use/purpose/feature to make people want to buy and retain your coin to offset those trying to offload their coinx dead altcoins. and also those trying to offload your coin for fiat.

also if someone had coinx deadcoin valued at $10 then they would just sell it at $10 using the market which you are using as your valuator. without the need to jump to your coin to then try getting the fiat.

dead coins are deadcoins because they have no market value. meaning another reason you cant promise $10 exact swap because the dead coin even if someone had 100,000 of them wont have a valuation of penny. or if it was vallued as a penny total thats all they would get from using your coin.

end result why would people jump to your coin. .. they wouldnt
then another point about those buying your coin to ofset those selling. how are your developers going to get paid.
if you envision giving them 'free' coin well they will sell on the market. tank it and then leave the prices as dead as the dead coin was so by the time customers come to want to sell. this new coin of yours would be of lower value than you promised.

its a vicious circle.
by you not looking passed the project prospectus/promises and hopes. and actually not looking at scenarios and long term sustainability i can see why many have lost faith.

seems you have not thought much about the viability of the coin itself. just the ICO and the promises of launch
i wont say give up. but i would suggest you think of the features/benefits/viability and sustainabilty beyond the launch and initial swap idea
11915  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Health and safety madness on: February 26, 2020, 05:59:09 PM
its not a business or customer financial negative

imagine a law suit fanatic who loves suing companies (you know the type, them ambulance chaser lawyers with their 'have you been in an accident thats not you fault')
in one example case in america for something petty with no lasting injury someone got millions
heck in the uk someone got 10;s of thousands for getting a shaving cut from them disposable bic razors
point being spending say £/$1000 each on say 1000 stores is cheaper than costing millions on one accident case

so in most ways business save money doing this stuff.. else they wouldnt even bother to waste man hours planning parts, labour and schedules to begin the work months before

11917  Other / Politics & Society / Re: whats the point of preserving nations? success doesnt come out of it. on: February 25, 2020, 10:27:58 AM
first of all. kingscorpio lacks the talent to understand whats happening in the UK..

but lets do some basic theories with him.

first of all. nationalisation has happened hundreds of years ago. its not something new. its not something up coming.
the UK had nationalisation of rail, electric, telephone, healthcare for a long long long time

the UK was independant nation before WW2
the UK is not moving into new territory/unknowns..

with all that said.
the UK is not going full nazi racist and government communist

infact the UK is actually devolving powers to local districts and even letting foreign companies own utilities like electric, telephone, rail, sewerage

if you think the UK is going to be a trump 'lets build a wall' country. you are wrong.
we will still trade we will still travel we will still diversify. we just wont let other countries tell us how.
we will actually thrive more due to brexit.

stop watching media. and do some research. its almost like your waiting for the stockmarket news to tell you when to buy and sell. but not realise that firstly once it hit the news the news is outdated and people smarter then you have already acted on it. and secondly its just creating a herd mentality aftermath reaction that does the opposite to whats really going on.

...
as for preserving nations. well thats the makeup of preserving independant identity and power. again. why want to be a globalist. why want to be controlled by europe.. when it has been shown many times the global/european agenda doesnt always line up with certain nations desires.


11918  Other / Politics & Society / Re: USA siding with EU vs UK and nazis on: February 25, 2020, 10:06:38 AM
Not that I agree with their policy necessarily, I don't know anything about it, but Muslim is not a race.

not that you admit you dont know anything about it.
but by deeming muslims as not part of the indian race. makes it racism.. for whatever reason.. for instance location,skin colour, or religion, or language, or social qualities.

yes. even a black man can be racist about another black man. if they come from different social constructs.
race is not just about dna similarities

ofc, how do you want to keep your investments in national education then?
you will get robbed by everyone else. racism and hatred are important tools of nations to maintain a positive economic balance.
uk will have to teach its youth to hate europe in order to prevent its labour flowing out, like the eastern bloc.

the UK pound banks wont cause conflict with europe or propagandise uk youth to hate europe. the reason the UK didnt adopt the euro is because they actually want people to go to europe. and then send funds home to the UK
if the UK was using the EURO then its just stirring the same pot of funds in circles and no profit being made inbetween.
but by having a different currency they can make profit on the exchange and actually like people swapping funds around.

banks dont make profit from having it just sit in banks. they make profit from having it exchanged and other things. changing hands is part of making profit.

dont blame banks for any racial tension. instead blame government laws that change peoples rights and responsibilities based on their social/economic/biological status

banks dont care who uses their services. the more the better. its government that want to limit who as access to treasury spending(yea government(local and national) controls education spending not banks)
11919  Other / Politics & Society / Re: USA siding with EU vs UK and nazis on: February 24, 2020, 07:35:41 PM
?.. nationalisation is racism as soon as national banks/currencies are created..?

nationalism is about creating a national currency/bank.. but thats not the racism
thats uniting different regions into an agreeable single form of banking/currency

if you want to know an example of racism
take india for instance. did you know that as a national agenda they wanted to form a criteria for allowing people to become an indian citizen.
first of all all non-indian born (hereditary citizens) get classed as undocumented. eg refugee's and undocumented people of all religions
and then claim that all undocumented people are then allowed citizen no matter what religion they are.. apart from.. muslim

..yep muslims cant be granted citizenship.

nothing to do with money or bank. but just due to do with being picky about which people can and cant become a citizen based on race/religion

atleast try to learn things
