Russia continues Soviet disinformation tactics

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
I've noticed something of a blitz of pro-Russian propaganda, particularly in the military technology sphere, over the past couple of years. It's gotten so bad that some outlets (yes, I'm looking at you, Zero Hedge) run pro-Russia articles almost daily, trying to portray that country as a neglected superpower that can still make a lot of trouble for the USA. Unfortunately, those behind this campaign have overplayed their hand. Their non-stop bombardment of propaganda is beginning to wear thin, because there's very little fact backing it up. Russia's submarines are certainly capab... more »

Why kids may be at risk from vinyl floors and fire-resistant couches

Canadians get creative in solving food waste problem

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
What we learn here is that both France and Italy now ban grocers from tossing food ever and donating it all. That at least drives some of it to the food banks. What is also necessary is the use of community kitchens to process a lot of this stuff. After all every farmer has food that is unshipable for various reasons. Dealing with this is usually inconvenient at least. My real point is that i grew up with the consumption of rescue food. The real issue is time. Past date bread and baked goods needs to be used within a couple of days or be frozen. Vegetables need to be cooked ... more »

The all important take home is that all patients need to use this therapy as the first protocol to use. From there you are able to watch , particularly if... more »
