Best Proof Yet That Global Warming Due To Rising Atmospheric CO2 Is "True" -- April 18, 2021

God. I knew the Mossad was good but this suggests they have powers well beyond anything previously imagined or a direct line to God, perhaps both:

The Big Question

The big question: what were the "two guys" doing in the back seat? Asking for a friend.

A typical fine engine is designed to carry 500 gallons of water and pumps water from a hydrant - generally 1,500 gallons per minute.

So,

• 32,000 / 500 = 64 engines; or,
• 32,000 / 1,500 = 21 minutes (minus the first few minutes of sorting out what to do).
  
  From another source:
  
  According to KPRC 2, the brother-in-law of one of the victims said the men were taking the car out for a spin, and that the driver was seen backing out of the driveway and may have hopped in the back seat before the crash.
  
  A sheriff's department spokesperson said the vehicle immediately burst into flames following the crash, and that local firefighters worked for four hours to put out the blaze, which required 32,000 gallons of water to extinguish.
  
  At one point, responding deputies had to call Tesla at one point to ask them how to put out the fire in the battery, which kept reigniting. Officials are still reportedly investigating whether the front passenger air bag deployed and whether the vehicle's advanced driver-assistance system was enabled at the time of the crash and will conduct autopsies on the two men.

Global Warming

Global warming: This may, in fact, be the best proof that the global-warming-due-to-rising-atmospheric-CO2 story may be true.

It would explain:

• the results of the most recent US presidential election;
• Biden's choice for VP:
• AOC;
• Greta;
• Dr Fauci.

Was there a subliminal, Freudian, "woke," culture-canceling reason why a stock photo of a male in a library was selected to highlight a story on stupid people?

Maybe "stupid" was too strong a word; let's just stick with "less intelligent."

New destinations:

• Denver: highest net migration; the millennials make up 33% of the city's population, the fifth highest percentage overall;
• Texas: the state with the biggest migration among the 25-39-y/o crowd
• five of the top ten destination cities: in states with no income tax on salaries or wages;
• New York City and Chicago saw the biggest net losses of millennials;
• "random" list of cities with big millennial gains:
• Colorado Springs, CO: near the site of the MLB All-Star game:
• Friso, TX: down the road from us;
• Cary, NC: shares the "Triangle" with Raleigh and Durham;
• Henderson, NV: outside Las Vegas

Umami To Kokumi

Link here. 

In 1907, while enjoying a bowl of soup made with dashi broth and kombu seaweed, the Japanese chemist Kikunae Ikeda had an insight that would change the culinary world. He noticed a taste that wasn’t sweet, salty, sour or bitter. Ikeda gave this hard-to-describe savory taste a name—umami—and went on to identify the specific amino acid that triggered it. See monosodium glutamate. 

Scientists in Europe and the U.S. remained skeptical about whether umami really was a taste until a receptor for it was discovered on the tongue almost a century later, in 2000. Today, it is taken for granted by most scientists and chefs, but interest is now growing in another taste first detected in Japan.

The newer taste, kokumi, is even harder to describe than umami, but it is potentially just as important for understanding how and why we enjoy food. In Japanese, the term koku describes foods that have the kind of mouthful “thickness” often imparted by fats—what English speakers might describe as rich. “It feels like a physical sensation,” says the culinary scientist Joshua Evans. It works “by coating the mouth and becoming more intense and being extended in time.” When asked what foods have koku, Japanese food experts list wild boar, adult wasps, duck eggs and aged sake, as well as long-simmered and fermented dishes.

None of which (wild boar adult wasps, duck eggs or aged sake) are in my pantry or refrigerator.
