  He used to have fairly obvious stock arguments about the psychology of society but he said them well and hawked them widely, although that pot was emptied quickly and people started to notice the grift, so he found Jesus and cried salty tears until he and his audience stopped knowing what was real.

  I might try that after dinner, the beeping was two short tones and two long tones which the user manual says is a type 096 system error, not to be muddled with two long tones and two short tones which means dangerous coastal flooding & powerful currents immanent.

  Its fine I had to mute it anyway, its been making a bloody beeping noise for the last twenty-five minutes. Never heard that before, very distracting.

  Surely a direct donation would ensure more of your money got to them.

  Its voltage that just feels tired in itself, just wants to be alone and not push any charge.

  This reply is not pulling any punches, the official line is something about freeing humanity from the drudgery of labour. But you are right, totalitarian grip on a dwindling demoralised population by the few who are too arrogant to see they are on the list too is probably closer to the mark.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I know exactly where⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did quickly start to answer your reply but I had to delete it and step away from it for a while because I became increasingly astounded by your argument. Is it genuine that you have no conception that elements in a system can run at differential rates. I do not mean to limit that to evolutionary science, I mean it is true of any system in the world or anything that can be defined as systemic which is essentially everything. So if you spoke to your mother and father in any given interval of time you could only conceive of talking to them for exactly the same duration and word count, you cannot fathom that within that system you might talk to one more than the other given only natural constraints on that system. You are fundamentally misunderstanding not just evolution but the nature of systems and so the nature of the world you find yourself in.

  What about fines for creating and then mismanaging the problem. And then creating the problem again, and mismanaging it again. And again, or the art of the deal or how I don’t pay any attention to reality or what I did yesterday.

  The bus you avoided yesterday you do not throw yourself under today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I know exactly where⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hundreds of thousands of years is not much time in evolutionary terms and my point is the shape of our bodies has not really caught up with our loss of hair and particularly in age we can still look a little unaesthetic. We look exactly like what we are, an animal that is supposed to have fur that has been shorn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I know exactly where⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well exactly, because evolutionarily we do still have bodies that should be covered in fur, a lot of fur.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When people die in wildfires, is it that the fire spread too fast for people to mobilise escape? Or more that people were delayed leaving?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People often will refuse to acknowledge actual danger until it is too late. Possibly being unfortunate or contrary in exit route selection or having particular requirements like elderly relatives. The route you selected is blocked and alternate exits become closed off in an order that is against you and you are left with having to wait for it to engulf you. Horrifying, if you are with your family it is impossible to imagine how horrifying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I figure out where flies are entering my house?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  However meticulous you are about washing recycling still enough organic material might be left for a fly to consider it a viable site to lay eggs. Also washing can sometimes work against you because putting things in the recycling wet can allow a licour to form over time that will smell as bad as anything you have smelled. Wash and disinfect the bins and in the hottest months put them outside. Do you note there is a limited age distribution in the fly populations you see, they are all young adults and all clean and shiny as if they have never been outside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I figure out where flies are entering my house?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it is in the hottest months and its in the recycling. The recycling bins are not as contained as the general bins, residual food is in the recycling from improper washing. Lone fly in through an open door and lays eggs in recycling, in normal times process from egg hatching to maggots to flies takes longer than the recycling collection period so it is all thrown out. Under very hot conditions it is accelerated and you wake up to 10 newly hatched flies on your garden door every morning. Solution is when it’s very hot put the recycling out more often even if it attracts foxes. This is very specific to me but something similar may be happening for you, I don’t think flies squeeze through small gaps.
