Quadriga: are the director's cryptocoins really gone?
A sad and unusual story recently took place in the Canadian world of cryptocurrencies. The young and only director of the top Canadian cryptoexchange, QuadrigaCX, Mr Gerald Cotten, has been a Crohn's disease sufferer (incidentally, there are preliminary hints of correlations with the Candida overgrowth but I am not eager about hearing the Crohn diagnosis – it's better to behave as if one is just mostly healthy). He went to India, a rather dangerous place for medical emergencies, and due to some Crohn's disease complications, he died on December 9th. Now, more than a month later, i... more »

Brownie Points in the Worker's Paradise
I have joked in the past on how people need to do odd and disgusting things to receive points from progressives. The points have no cash value, of course, but it makes you more of a prog. China has taken this to heart and has created a social credit system which will be in place by 2020. If you think of it in terms of brownie points, it makes more sense. I know that this big brother move will appeal to the Maoists in Congress. Stand by. The national government will reward or punish citizens based on their scores.

How Iran Could Sink the U.S. Navy in Battle

In 2009, it became clear that China had developed a mobile medium-range ballistic missile called the DF-21D designed to sink ships over 900 miles away. This then-nascent technical achievement gave rise to a still-ongoing debate over the survivability of the U.S.’s nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, as the DF-21D outranged the strike planes serving on carrier decks. This further compelled the U.S. Navy to introduce anti-ballistic missile capability to its destroyers and cruisers in the form of the ... more »

The New Language of Climate Change
The greatest disservice ever done to climate science was the blind assertion that man made CO2 production had anything to do with it.

The Power of Mises's book - The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality'
A short review essay here that needs a read by every high school student. A minimum amount of thought soon teaches that all human actuality is profit driven even if that profit happens to be to void one's bowels. In fact most of that profit is never actually monetized and should not be. Monetization sets the stage for capitalism as actual money allows efficient accumulation of stored human potential effort. We went a long way before figuring all that out. Then we created the magic of fiat currency which allowed money to be created independent of any finite resource. Inasmuch... more »

For occasional stressors, cortisol can provide a burst of benefits like increased energy, heightened reflexes and a higher threshold for pain. However, when stress is chronic, as it often is in modern society, cortisol levels can remain unnaturally high and lead to damaging effects, which include: • P... more »

It takes a village to take care of mom
“If you have an aging loved one — grandparent, parent, aunt, uncle, or family friend – living in a senior nursing community or being cared for at home by a home health organization, the people performing the most menial-sounding jobs may be the most important people in their lives. They are the van driver who takes them for a day out to the mall or to the clinic for dialysis; the laundry worker who picks up their dirty clothes every morning and brings them back clean and carefully hung or folded; the activities director who brings music, art and crafts to engage their minds, bodie... more »
Gov. Northam, Hillary Clinton, Sen. Byrd, Keith Ellison and Louis Farrakhan—a melting pot of bigotry and racism
After the fiasco the MSM made about Catholic teens wearing MAGA hats (they think that's like a KKK hood) I can see why they kept quiet about the VA governor's yearbook photo showing him in either blackface or a KKK outfit. I mean, after Kavanaugh, isn’t everyone’s college yearbook fair game? I don’t like to be defending Dr. Gov.

Today he knows better--but abortion is far, far worse and disproportionately affects blacks. In 2010 our Secretary of State, form... more »

"Anyway..."
“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.” - Mother Teresa

"All Life Really Means..."
"Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all life really means." ~ Robert Louis Stevenson ◆
“The Mirroring World: We Are like Nature”
*“The Mirroring World: We Are like Nature”* by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOm “As humans our lives are completely intertwined with the cycles and rhythms of nature.
