I have been trying to figure out how to write an effective profile on these dating sites.

Robecology comments on Feb 18, 2022:

I was in to it before there was internet dating...yea...I wrote personal ads in he local newspapers. So I've been through the whole thing...and I've found the best results happen when you post LOTS of images. Images that are current...of you doing things....not just posing.

I hate it when that happens.

Robecology comments on Feb 16, 2022:

Are there Aliens? Can we travel to stars? Is there another "Earth" out there that we can move to? Should we? Can we expect communication via radio (and/or) Visitation from aliens? Quick answer; No....no, no, no, and....no. For several reasons; #1 - We can go 18.6 miles per second now. That's 1/10,000th the speed of light. That will get us to our nearest star system - which is 4.3 light years ( L.Y.) away, in only 43,000 years. Eventually, rocket scientists foresee going 1/1,000th the speed of light...that's 186 miles per second. But... that would still take us 4,300 years to reach the nearest star and its' planets. Ughhh. #2. Even talking to our alleged ET "neighbor", via radio (going speed of light, or 186,000 miles per second) would take 8.6 years round trip message - assuming that there's radio-communicating life on the nearest star system. So we can't even "talk" with them...let alone visit them. #3.The odds of being life on any planets within 100 L.Y. of us are nil. Really nil. Drakes equation* suggests....quite simply - that the odds of an intelligent, radio communicating civilization out there is immensely large... perhaps 99.995%. A famous radio astronomer once said...."if only one in a million stars out there had life on it....and out of that million - if only 1 in a million....if one of them had intelligent, radio sending and receiving life on it...then the numbers of their existence - in our galaxy alone...is in the millions. But that the odds of there being one - within our 100 LY range...is close to 0.001%. That's one thousandth of one percent. As of 2021, we have discovered that there's about 70 systems within that range...of which only a few have rocky planets that are in the "goldilocks" zone (not too hot, not too cool...so likely to have water and life). Out of those few, there's a much reduced likelihood that they evolved at the same pace we did...so their civilization's have either come and gone...or they're not there yet. *https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/news/1350/are-we-alone-in-the-universe-revisiting-the-drake-equation/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So... are there aliens? Perhaps, far away, if we could go hundreds or thousands of light years in an instant (worm holes? - a lame theory)...then there's good probability that aliens exist and we could meet them. And they probably will look just like us. But - are there any close by? No. Not a chance in our neighborhood (100 LY). And let’s not forget - the Cetaceans have larger brains than we have. Live a life of no money, no technology, no clothes, no school - quite happily. Who’s to say they’re not more advanced than we are? http://www.solstation.com/stars3/100-as.htm

I'm a firm believer that the Cephalopods are from alien worlds. Consider this; Our oceans filled in early times by huge comets made mostly of water ice. Where did this ice come from...and who''s to say that life didn't evolve on other planets...that themselves had oceans...and evolved life...and then died a cataclysmic death? Who's to say that- considering how alien and advanced the celphalopods are - they didn't evolve on other planets...then got trapped in these giant comets that traveled to us billions of years ago? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panspermia

And for us to survive....we have to let the fools die off. I'm a Malthusian demographer. I believe the simple fact... the higher the population. is....the harder life is. Sure we got it good. In many ways. billions of us live like only a handful of folk lived less than a hundred years ago.... But the fight is on to find the niche that allows us to "live large"....and - for Americans at least - the "ripe old age" number is starting to level off and drop (see graph, beow). Oh...and in case you're wondering how fast we're rising, here's the data; -2.5 more births, than deaths per second, -150 more per minute, -9000 more per hour, -216,000 more per day. -79,000,000 per year This calculates to around 1% per year....and the good news is we're heading to a lower "growth rate"...but we''re going too slowly, IMO.

Most people today can't even verify what a source is, except to say google it.

Robecology comments on Feb 4, 2022:

It's easy to take a "holier than thou" attitude....but writing or even using credible sources is easier today thanks to the internet....you just have to know which are more "credible" sources. Googling is a good way to get background info...just watch your web suffixes....they're a clue to the objectivity of the source; dot com's - not very reliable; they're posting to make money. Frequent web researchers call these sites "click-bait". dot orgs - a little better/more reliable. To get an "org" rating you can't advertise...but you can accept gifts that influence what you share. Dot Govs.- generally OK...but some government posts are conservative - some moderate - some progressive. Be wary still. Dot EDU's. and dot info sites are probably the best sources...often research papers that folk have to present to a tough critical board that are quick to challenge the results...but they're the most scientific. https://www.usg.edu/galileo/skills/unit07/internet07_08.phtml

Agnostic is more of an "i don't know" - scientific-thinking strategy - .A...not. Gnostic - Knowing, understanding, accepting, believing, "buying in" So if you're "agnostic" you're more "on the fence" or saying "i don't know".

John Oliver is perhaps too articulate for his own good. He's funny....and he made good points...but I loved the story...and obviously he didn't. I rarely watch his show now...and chose to sit through this rant to see if my opinions of him changed....they haven't.

Pro tip 22.

Funny you should mention that. I just inadvertently - almost accidentally- pulled out and cleaned that bottom drawer in the oven. I think i read somewhere that it's mean to serve as a "warmer" or place to keep cook foods warm. Glad I cleaned it!

Fish harvesting, and fish farming are doing remarkably well. Tilapia is a good, tasty, fast growing and easy to farm fresh water fish - and it's vegetarian - it only eats plants. There's now a decent farming going on world wide for many common creatures in commercial saltwater (aquaponics) operations including crustaceans, mollusks, echinoderms. shrimp, prawns, oysters, clam, abalone, flatfishes, puffer fish, and sea urchins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltwater_aquaponics
