Intelligence I.Q. and Intellect are somewhat different but also somewhat similar in that it IS how you use them imo. For example, Place a tourist from a city or a foreign land in the harsh, unforgiving environment of the Australian Out back, he /she may be a 'genius' in his/her own environment BUT are as dumb as brick when faced with what the Outback can and WILL do to you IF you know little or nothing about it. there ARE many a prime example whose white, bleached bones are STILL laying out in Aussie Outback waiting to be found IF they are lucky.

Triphid replies on Nov 16, 2020:

@Ohub Heard from a very good and trusted friend who works with the C.S.L. ( Commonwealth Serum Laboratories) here in Australia yesterday evening, they have been researching in to the Covid virus and other viruses now for over 10 months and are fairly certain that Covid is a mutated version of the original virus that caused the SARS, Swine Flu and Bird Flu outbreaks and that as we 'attack them' they mutate and evolve quicker and better forms of defense and attacks. The same/similar, so it appears, is with most forms of cancers in that we see 'cancer' as being just one type or another, each one is a mutant form of the original, e.g, we call a malignant growth in the breast as being a Breast Cancer BUT in fact EACH and EVERYONE has a different/mutated genetic type of make up just as with viruses.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are also well known in medical circles as those who will WILLING to place their own lives or that of a child at risk by REFUSING to allow a Life-Saving Blood Transfusion since their belief system states that it is a Form of Cannibalism. Thankfully, here in Australia the A.M.A lobbied strongly and powerfully enough many decades ago to force the Government to enact a Law that over-rides their ridiculous twaddle and many a child and mother giving birth has been saved where they would died if not for getting a transfusion. These days the Jehovah's Crazies have NO excuse to refuse since a Blood Substitute has been developed and is widely used in cases such as this.

Not just 'dark' cult, a very sick, deranged, deluded and very, very misogynist Cult to say the very least. Back when I 25 years old I dated a young lady who I did not know at the time was from Jehovah's Witnesses family. We had only been out together twice, the first we merely held hands, the second, we went on a picnic on a very public beach. It was the middle of the day on a Sunday, there were crowds of people around, women, children and men everywhere when she suddenly said to me, " Can we find somewhere where we can be alone, I want to have sex now so I can tell the Elders at my Church that I have had sex outside of marriage and they can punish me, then exclude me from being a member, I'm sick of being a Jehovah's Witness." I thought twice about her 'request' and quietly told her, " I will NOT be used as your excuse to escape, that IS something YOU must do ALL by yourself." I then packed up the picnic things, escorted her back home and never saw her again.

Do YOU really want to 'trade' the lives and health of fellow Australians in exchange for YOUR own personal Freedoms? Do YOU really want to go down the same road as the U.S. with its Covid Death Toll now closing in on the Quarter of a MILLION mark?

Actually, the Canon Law in Catholicism does NOT allow or permit what is heard in Confessions/ Confessionals to used by or in Law Cases brought about under the Laws made by man. I.e. " All that is spoken/heard in Confession is ONLY between the Confessor, the Priest and God, ergo it is sacrosanct."

There are still a very few Power Generation Stations that use Diesel fuel to drive the huge engines that turn the dynamos, and, even though diesel fuel is a polluter, it IS far less a polluter than is Petroleum ( Gasoline) which, btw, NO sensible Power Generation Station would consider using since it IS Highly inflammable, unstable, etc, etc.

I'm sorry but I just finished watching the news and might not be in the proper frame of mind to respond but if a boiler is full of water, and it overpressures it will only rupture thereby reducing the pressure and perhaps peeing on your petunias! No explosive force can be achieved! Secondly, ...

Triphid replies on Nov 13, 2020:

@anglophone Yes, Steam Boilers can explode BUT 'Genius George' plans on using a Liquiified Propane Gas Cylinder designed for Domestic usage measuring approx. 4'8'' in height by 18' in diameter from steel about 1/4 -1/2 inches in thickness with a welded seam running the full from top to base. Standard pressure capability for a cylinder that size is about 1.25 bar - 1.75 bar, they ONLY explode IF either FULL of Liquified Gas or partially Full and then ONLY if a B.L.E.V.E. occurs. B.L.E.V.E.- Boiling Liquid Escaping Vapour Explosion, i.e. there is 'rupture of the welded seam or a puncture of the cylinder. Steam Boilers are/were usually made from steel plate of up to and including 1'' to 1.5 inches in thickness, double rivetted BEFORE Electric Arc Welding came into being and the water was normally contained at extremely high pressures and temperatures. But they also had Pressure Relief Valves fitted as well, HOWEVER they had to keep a watchful eyeon these valves and pressure otherwise the Boilers would explode with catastrophic results, etc, etc. "Genius George's' tank is not rated for extreme pressures nor is it constructed to hold such pressures, it WILL, more than likely, merely split apart down the welded seam And YES, @Paganlyl, Hot Water Storage tanks can EXPLODE catastrophically BUT only IF the Safety Release valves are 'dogged' or removed from the system in the first place, WHICH some idiots often do btw.

Triphid replies on Nov 13, 2020:

Yeah, well Evangeloons Insurance Company did precisely the same thing when he caused his 240 litre Hot Water Storage Tank to explode a while back because he had ruptured the main water supply to the house, argued with the Plumber who dropped tools and walked away, so Evangelidiot shut off the water supply at the mains inlet and left the electricity switched on to the Water Heater. Total costs for that debacle, 67.000 Dollars AU including, $1,500 for the local Emergency Services to come out and drape tarpaulins over his missing roof section, $1,800 for the Fire Brigade, $2,700 for the clean-up and $59,200 for the Builders to repair and replace.

"even though he has solar panels" 🤣🤣🤣 So he's going to use the electricity from the solar panels to heat the water so he can generate electricity at night? 🤣🤣🤣 I'm not sure how efficient solar panels are with moonlight 😂

Triphid replies on Nov 13, 2020:

Going on what he was saying he plans to have the electricity supplied directly from his Meter box not from the Converter on his Solar Panels. I did a quick calculation last evening using the volume of a 90 kilogram Gas cylinder ( Standard sized Domestic LPG Gas Cylinder) and what I could estimate the water it would contain, how much applied heat it would need to just raise that water to boiling point let alone to super-heat it. My estimation, probably well under-estimated btw, was approx. 1.25 kilowatts per hour for 4 hours of heating time to reach 100 degrees C. Now my 250 litre electric Hot Water Storage tank takes 3-4 hours from being drained, as it did when I replaced the old, leaking one about a month ago, refilled with cold mains water to reach at temperature set on just 60 degrees C. I rang an old work-mate, a Fully Qualified Boilermaker btw, last evening and mentioned 'Genius George's plan to him, he laughed for quite a while then replied with " How's this bloody Drongo planning to put the network of pipes and baffles INSIDE the cylinder, without those the water will boil but WILL never reach super-heated status for starters, the cylinder will expand until it reaches the point of rupturing then the welded seam will split like a very over-ripe orange, spraying boiling water everywhere and anywhere." "As for his using a Turbo from a car to drive the generator, that's a BIG joke since auto turbos are NOT rated to spin at the speeds required to turn ANY generator at enough revs to produce electricity at voltages such as would be necessary to generate 240 volts at 50Hz and 8 to 15 amps, plus he'd need to fit a set of steam collecting domes with built in safety valves to funnel the steam, which HAS to super-heated to in excess of 150 degrees C, and at pressures of above 200 pounds per square inch, don't panic about the whole set-up exploding, Mate, just stand by with a shovel and a bucket to pick up his well par-boiled body parts....LOL."

Lorajay comments on Nov 12, 2020:

Do you think if he blows up his own house it will get you too?

Triphid replies on Nov 12, 2020:

No, given the distances between houses, including his little ramshackle shed, the volume, etc, of the 'proposed boiler' and the attainable pressures it can reach WITHOUT being modified as per as Boiler system on a Steam Locomotive, etc, I doubt if it will do any collateral damage/s to neighbouring houses. A few months back he managed to 'blow-up' his 250 litre electric Hot water storage tank, which was about 3-4 metres away from the dividing fence between our properties, it tore through his bathroom, kitchen and sent pieces flying through his while ripping the roof and ceiling off of his bathroom but no damage occurred to my house except a spray of water. On my maternal side of the family I links with the old Steam Locos used by a local Rail Company I know quite well how their boilers are built and the specifications they MUST meet, etc. In a Pacific class Steam Loco, the boiler holds around 4-600 GALLONS of water and at full temp, heat and pressure that can do some REAL damage for a radius of about 100-300 yards. A LPG gas cylinder such the one he intends to use has a fracture quotient of approx. 100-125 pounds per square inch BEFORE the single welded seam will split apart. Gas cylinders are made of single sheet steel about 1/3rd. - 1/2 inch thickness and when they do rupture they invariable rupture along the seam.

Triphid replies on Nov 12, 2020:

Actually, 'Gesundheit' has absolutely nothing to do god or religion. It IS a German phrase simply meaning 'Good Health." In the German language, anything relative or in relation to 'god' usually begins with the 'Gott' as in Gottdammerung meaning God damn it.' Here in Australia when someone sneezes we of the older generations have sayings like " Better out than in," or " Quick, catch it before it gets away." But hey, that's our somewhat wry sense of humour.

@Canndue Hey, imo, it was @LovinLarge who may have jumped the gun and deemed what I said as 'volunteering' everyone else, including her. Well, she is 100% WRONG in that assumption. I have NEVER been one to expect someone else to 'volunteer/be volunteered for any job that I can do myself, for example, in the 1960's I was a student at our local High School, 1 student amongst 1,200+, 6 Grades of Classes with a minimum of 30+ students per class, NO heating in winter, NO Colling in summer and in school designed to take a maximum of 850 students. Staff, students and parents moaned and complained about the conditions BUT none would do anything. So, at 16 years of age I took up the mantle, begged a few Teachers to supply me with information, facts and data then set about starting a Media Campaign to TRY and force our State Government into doing something. I wrote and sent lengthy letters to every Newspaper, Radio and Television across the country, was investigated by the Police, Government Departments and A.S.I.O. for months on end, threatened with Expulsion UNTIL suddenly EVERY Student in the School joined in the Cause. Then we had 'Rolling Stoppages' of Classes, Protests Marches through the streets of town and even even sit-ins as well. ^ months later it was Officially announced by the State Government that " They had decided to select and start preparing a site for the building of a Second High School here in Broken Hill," the High School is called Willyama High School btw. Moral of the story, " Do not sit around WAITING for something to be DONE, GET up and make it happen."

Triphid replies on Nov 10, 2020:

@gene706 Yes, any object moving at the same rate of speed in which it is contained continues to travel at the same rate as does its container, IF the container decelerates suddenly the object/s within WILL continue on at the rate of speed at which they were traveling. BTW, that IS one of the main reasons why seat belts were invented and fitted into car, etc. Don't believe? Then read up on Sir Isaac Newton Laws of Motion. A vehicle traveling in the opposite direction to yours orv even in the same direction as it passes you that has bigger size (MASS) creates an area of lowered AIR pressure around it as it travels, hence it creates a type of suction effect since NATURE abhors a vacuum ( as a very old Scientific phrase states and has been proven to be correct a billion+ times over. Gravitation effect/s on dropped objects is lesser than the Gravitation Attraction of the Earth on those objects, plus friction also plays a role in keep objects, even those you mentioned, from coming together as they fall. However, during the birth of this planet, gravitational effects played a great role in the attraction of small particles of dust being attracted to each other thus forming larger and larger particles that were attracted to even larger particles and so on an so forth until the inner gravitation of the mass became strong enough for them to become ONE solid mass, i.e. the Planet we now live upon.
