• Wood burning

    From Ed P@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 22 13:09:00 2024
    We discussed wood burning recently and I found this today

    Wood fireplaces and stoves may have a beloved place in our culture, but
    they also play an unfortunate role in pollution. In the United Kingdom,
    the BBC reported that they're responsible for 27% of PM2.5 pollution
    (meaning fine particle pollution with pieces less than 2.5 microns across).

    That's a problem because PM2.5 pollution is strongly linked to cancer
    and premature death. Too much smoke — even from a simple wood fire — is
    as bad as smoking cigarettes.

    Tessa Bartholomew-Good, head of campaigns for clean air at Global Action
    Plan, told the BBC: "The uncomfortable truth is lighting fires in our
    homes is the largest source of small particle air pollution in the UK,
    causing serious harm to our lung, heart and brain health. On top of
    this, burning wood produces more carbon dioxide than coal or gas."

    Yes , and global warming is real . The real reason they want to get
    rid of wood burners is because they can't turn off your heat like they
    can electric .

    Yup...

    Wood is *still* a major fuel in many poor Third World places, e.g. sub - Saharan Africa, Haiti, etc....

    BUT the Climate Change Buffoons want to deny these poor places the use of fossil fuels, which would jump - start their economies and change their standards of living for the better...

    In the future, the whole present "Climate Change" schtick will be laughed at as quackery, same as we laugh at medieval alchemy, those who claimed the Earth was "flat", and that Earth was the "center" of the universe...

    Plenty of good science. How about some common sense? Globally, we burn
    100 million tons of fossil fuel every day. You don't think that has
    some effect after a hundred years?

    What do you mean by "effect"...???

    IMNSHO the "effect" is quite excellent - the world is a *far* richer place than 100 years ago... and that is 100% due do the use of fossil fuels...

    Because of fossil fuels, hundreds of millions have better and longer and healthier lives... every advance in modern science and technology has been made possible *only* with the use of fossil fuels...

    These five "cornerstones" of our modern era, which started to be used around 1900 and then really accelerated by the 1920's are:

    - the internal combustion engine

    - modern chemistry

    - modern telecommunications

    - modern sanitation (clean water, sewage...)

    - cheap and abundant electrical power

    Many thousands of people around the world just ****today**** grew out of dire poverty (whicn is defined by the UN as an income of less than $2.00 per day), and they grew out of that poverty via the use of fossil fuels to obtain fertizer for their crops,
    electricity and clean water, modern transportation and communication, etcetera...

    But Ed, we *all* know you consume *no* fossil fuels - ***right***...???

    <chuckle>

    Seriously, Ed, I'd suggest you do some background reading on how modern technology came to be...

    Wood fireplaces and stoves may have a beloved place in our
    culture, but they also play an unfortunate role in pollution. In
    the United Kingdom, the BBC reported that they're responsible for
    27% of PM2.5 pollution (meaning fine particle pollution with
    pieces less than 2.5 microns across).

    That's a problem because PM2.5 pollution is strongly linked to
    cancer and premature death. Too much smoke — even from a simple
    wood fire — is as bad as smoking cigarettes.

    Tessa Bartholomew-Good, head of campaigns for clean air at Global
    Action Plan, told the BBC: "The uncomfortable truth is lighting
    fires in our homes is the largest source of small particle air
    pollution in the UK, causing serious harm to our lung, heart and
    brain health. On top of this, burning wood produces more carbon
    dioxide than coal or gas."

    Plenty of good science.  How about some common sense?  Globally, we
    burn 100 million tons of fossil fuel every day.  You don't think that
    has some effect after a hundred years?

    What do you mean by "effect"...???

    IMNSHO the "effect" is quite excellent - the world is a *far* richer
    place than 100 years ago... and that is 100% due do the use of fossil fuels...

    Because of fossil fuels, hundreds of millions have better and longer and healthier lives... every advance in modern science and technology has
    been made possible *only* with the use of fossil fuels...

    These five "cornerstones" of our modern era, which started to be used
    around 1900 and then really accelerated by the 1920's are:

    - the internal combustion engine

    - modern chemistry

    - modern telecommunications

    - modern sanitation (clean water, sewage...)

    - cheap and abundant electrical power

    Many thousands of people around the world just ****today**** grew out of
    dire poverty (whicn is defined by the UN as an income of less than $2.00
    per day), and they grew out of that poverty via the use of fossil fuels
    to obtain fertizer for their crops, electricity and clean water, modern transportation and communication, etcetera...
    But Ed, we *all* know you consume *no* fossil fuels - ***right***...???

    <chuckle>

    Seriously, Ed, I'd suggest you do some background reading on how modern technology came to be...


    I know how technology came to be, but I also know the consequences of
    it. Cause and effect. Has been that way since the beginning of time.

    It has been a great ride, now it is time to look at better ways,
    healthier ways. Way to extend the life of finite materials. Can you
    imagine a work with no oil? No plastics? No jet planes?

    Now is the time to figure it out.

    I can also add the anecdotal evidence that despite cars and fireplaces in
    our homes the average life span on the planet has been increasing steadily
    over the last 200 years.

    I usually tell all people who are afraid of particles to move to Alaska,
    and that particles is the price we pay for the convenience of living in a modern city with modern technology.

    I'll take my fire place and car any day over the tiny amount of particles
    they might emit. =)

    Yup...

    Wood is *still* a major fuel in many poor Third World places, e.g. sub - Saharan Africa, Haiti, etc....

    BUT the Climate Change Buffoons want to deny these poor places the use of fossil fuels, which would jump - start their economies and change their standards of living for the better...

    In the future, the whole present "Climate Change" schtick will be laughed at as quackery, same as we laugh at medieval alchemy, those who claimed the Earth was "flat", and that Earth was the "center" of the universe...


    True. Sadly the politicians will just change their opinion over night and
    never admit to the quckery and power grabs, and just find another hysteria
    to whip up.

    Plenty of good science. How about some common sense? Globally, we burn 100 million tons of fossil fuel every day. You don't think that has some effect after a hundred years?


    And please remember that it is estimated that the Earth receives 430
    exajoules of energy from the Sun every hour.

    Add to that that gasoline has an energy content of 43.5 to 47 gigajoules
    per ton (LHV) or 47.3 gigajoules per ton (HHV). Therefore, 100 million tons
    of gasoline would contain between 4.35 and 4.7 exajoules of energy.

    So the amount of energy from the sun that hits us is about 100x more than
    the energy content of the fossil fuel we burn.

    Would that have any effect at all on the climate?

    Your climate 'model' ignores that the sun does not put
    methane & carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

    Also, heat from tidal friction is about 10 * insolation,
    and heat from radionucleide decay about 10 * tidal friction.

      I don't think so Jill . If they ain't supplying you they aren't
    making any money . There are other entities that want to control us ...
    and it's a lot easier to control someone who is cold and hungry . Hey
    Man , all ya gotta do is take this little shot and we'll turn the power
    back on and let you go buy groceries . See how easy that was ?

    I don't use a wood burning stove or a fireplace to provide heat or to
    cook. I don't live in a cabin in the woods. The "they" who might cut
    off the electricity would be the electric company if I didn't pay the bill.

    My electricity supplier just lowered the unit cost a teeny tiny bit.
    And they raised the daily standing charge, which I pay whether or not I
    use any electricity.

    My electric bill is not that high, no matter what time of year it is. I
    do not rely on wood burning anything to heat my house or to do cooking.
    Snag lives in a cabin in the woods. Totally different circumstance.

    I can also add the anecdotal evidence that despite cars and fireplaces in

    I usually tell all people who are afraid of particles to move to Alaska,

    Don't you just hate it when actual science does not agree with your
    fantasy?


    Depends on who is *paying* for the "actual science", Ed...


    Plenty of good science.  How about some common sense?  Globally, we burn >>> 100 million tons of fossil fuel every day.  You don't think that has some >>> effect after a hundred years?


    And please remember that it is estimated that the Earth receives 430
    exajoules of energy from the Sun every hour.

    Add to that that gasoline has an energy content of 43.5 to 47 gigajoules
    per ton (LHV) or 47.3 gigajoules per ton (HHV). Therefore, 100 million tons >> of gasoline would contain between 4.35 and 4.7 exajoules of energy.

    So the amount of energy from the sun that hits us is about 100x more than
    the energy content of the fossil fuel we burn.

    Would that have any effect at all on the climate?

    Clean energy that we can use for many things. Sun also makes plants grow to help us keep cool. Check the science to see how it gives us life.


    Exactly my point.

    No , we were talking about heating with wood . Which we do , with a

    Jill is correct we live in a clearing out in the woods . Not exactly a

    You are ***exactly*** right, Snag, we've already seen this during the manufactured Covid hysteria, when those who refused the jab were fired from their jobs, thus depriving these people from a livelihood...

    Or people were deprived of their civil rights, being arrested for attending church, for example, during the bogus Covid "lockdowns"...

    Or in Canada, when some of those involved in the trucker's strike not only were fired, but had their bank accounts frozen...

    Or professors on some US uni campuses are fired for not hewing to the politically correct "Diversity/Equality/Inclusion" line...

    Even happened here in Oak Park IL to their Libray Director, this woman was *Black*, BTW...!!! And her "thought crime" was focusing the Library on *books*:

    https://wirepoints.org/executive-director-fired-by-oak-parks-library-board-wednesday-journal-of-oak-park-and-river-forest/

    Executive Director fired by Oak Park’s library board – Wednesday Journal of Oak Park and River Forest

    "It comes after weeks of upheaval among some community members who objected to the way leaders, including Joslyn Bowling Dixon, handled a Palestinian cultural event, eliminated two staff positions, at least one of which related to diversity, equity and
    inclusion. Dixon, they said, was trying to position the library as a place for books only — an outmoded practice — and away from the community hub Oak Park’s library strives to be..."


    "Our betters" in leftist crapholes like Canada, UK, Kalifornia, Illannoy, New Yawk, etc. were salivating like dogs smelling a T - bone when the Chinese shut down their country, banning people from leaving their homes, arresting them en - masse when they
    defied the flu restrictions, etc... brave patriots like FL Governor DeSantis, who defied the Covid nonsense were vilifed, as a war criminal might be...

    SO - don't think it can happen here...???

    Think again, FOOLS, the leftists in the US government would dearly LOVE to institute a Chinese - style "social credit" system to "control" the populace. The groundwork is already well in place in Canada and much of Europe with ominous "hate crime" laws/
    restricions that are reminiscent of how the old communist places like East Germany, Romania, the USSR (not to mention nazi Germany or present day communist China, North Korea, Cuba; along with Iran and Russia) used such "laws" to psychogically terrorise
    and thus coerce their hapless citizens...

    With the collusion of corrupt Big Tech, the lying mainstream - regime media, and especially corrupt "progressive" democrats, it would be the simplest thing in the world to initiate - and us ordinary schmucks would have NO redress, let alone a say in the
    matter...

    In fact FDR tried some of thus stuff during his disastrous "New Deal" (trying to stack the Supreme Court, the NRA, etc.... and then imprisoning US citizens of Japanese ancestry during WW II...)... as did Woodrow Wilson during his presidency, with his
    atrocious record of suppressing civil liberties...

    Ronald Reagan wasn't kiddin' when he said this at his January 5, 1967 CA Gubernatorial Inaugural Address:

    "Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative...

    Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction...

    It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people..."

    Wood fireplaces and stoves may have a beloved place in our culture,
    but they also play an unfortunate role in pollution. In the United
    Kingdom, the BBC reported that they're responsible for 27% of PM2.5
    pollution (meaning fine particle pollution with pieces less than
    2.5 microns across).

    That's a problem because PM2.5 pollution is strongly linked to
    cancer and premature death. Too much smoke — even from a simple
    wood fire — is as bad as smoking cigarettes.

    Tessa Bartholomew-Good, head of campaigns for clean air at Global
    Action Plan, told the BBC: "The uncomfortable truth is lighting
    fires in our homes is the largest source of small particle air
    pollution in the UK, causing serious harm to our lung, heart and
    brain health. On top of this, burning wood produces more carbon
    dioxide than coal or gas."


    "Global Action Plan" = still another one of the useless dopey "The
    sky is FALLING...!!!" climate "scare" groups...

    I'd love to see her in person - I'd tie to her a chair and smoke a
    pack of Camel straights RIGHT into the stupid bint's face, lol...!!!

    <laffin'>



    I can also add the anecdotal evidence that despite cars and
    fireplaces in our homes the average life span on the planet has been
    increasing steadily over the last 200 years.

    I usually tell all people who are afraid of particles to move to
    Alaska, and that particles is the price we pay for the convenience of
    living in a modern city with modern technology.

    I'll take my fire place and car any day over the tiny amount of
    particles they might emit. =)


    Sure, not everyone gets lung cancer and you can live with asthma using
    an inhaler


    Yes, let's reshape the earth based on asthmatics with lung cancer and a deficient immune system and let's see how it will go. ;)

    Or they can get health care and the rest of us can get on with life instead.

    So, just let them die if beyond help. You have a great plan.

    What about our grandchildren and great grandchildren when the oil runs
    out? It will at some point. Does it not make sense to start planning
    now for alternatives? How to conserve what is left?

    Like most, I just used what I wanted with no thought, but at some point,
    stop and look at the reality and what the industrial revolution has
    done, both good and bad and correct the bad.

    And that's the "little shot" I was referring to . Remember all the histrionics about us unvaxxed "spreading death to everybody"?

    Counties with high vaccination rates (herd immunity) had a greater
    than 80% reduction in death rates compared with counties that had
    low vaccination rates.

    I certainly would rather live in a county with high vaccination
    rates. Oh, hey. I do. The educated people of Washtenaw County
    see the benefit in vaccines.

    REMEMBER
    THE FUCKIN' LOCKDOWNS ?

    Remember the fuckin' lockdowns were before there was a vaccine?

    I didn't stay home for more than a few weeks after the lockdowns
    started. I worked for a defense contractor that was deemed
    essential, so I went back to the office in May 2020. We all got
    vaccinated as soon as it was available.

    Well , I'm still unvaxxed , and yes I've had
    The Coof . Or maybe it was just a cold , I'm not sure . Whatever it was
    I got over it and am in "Damn good physical shape for a man of 72" .

    You don't even know if you had COVID. Your anecdote is meaningless
    in any case.

    You are ***exactly*** right, Snag, we've already seen this during the manufactured Covid hysteria, when those who refused the jab were fired from their jobs, thus depriving these people from a livelihood...
    ...
    Ronald Reagan wasn't kiddin' when he said this at his January 5, 1967 CA Gubernatorial Inaugural Address:

    "Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative...
    Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction...
    It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people..."

    Wise words and sadly they seem to be completely forgotten or ignored by
    far too many people. But we can only hope that Trump will win this
    november, and maybe, just maybe, he can point the compass needle towards freedom again.

    No , we were talking about heating with wood . Which we do , with a propane backup for times we aren't home for a couple of days in winter .

    Don't do it if there's no need for it Cindy, it could kill you. I know and
    have heard of many who died after the shot.

    My wives family were pestering me to take the shot, and of course I
    refused, but it was still annoying. Then someone they knew died because of
    it, and fortunately for me, they never bothered me again.

    Sure, not everyone gets lung cancer and you can live with asthma using an >>> inhaler


    Yes, let's reshape the earth based on asthmatics with lung cancer and a
    deficient immune system and let's see how it will go. ;)

    Or they can get health care and the rest of us can get on with life
    instead.

    So, just let them die if beyond help. You have a great plan.

    That's not what I said. There are doctors, did you know that? ;) As for
    the planet at large, as I said, despite _particles_ (scary, I know!) we've never been healthier and wealthier.

    What about our grandchildren and great grandchildren when the oil runs out? It will at some point. Does it not make sense to start planning now for alternatives? How to conserve what is left?

    Oh no... peak oil! Have I heard that before? Let me tell you another
    little secret and it is called "the market" and "technological
    development". Oil will not peak over night, and as oil prices increase, alternatives will be develop. It is difficult for me to put into words how little I care about peak oil and how much I'm not worried about the grand children.

    What does worry me though is socialism, that will lead to starvation and
    the killing of 100 of millions and that is why socialism and eco-fascism
    must be stopped!

    If not, we'll be back to medieval times in no time. That... worries me. =(

    Like most, I just used what I wanted with no thought, but at some point, stop and look at the reality and what the industrial revolution has done, both good and bad and correct the bad.

    Ok.

    I wonder if this is just an individual with mental problems or if he
    represents a much larger group of delusional Trump voters. I saw Greg
    egging him on, for instance.

    There's a positive correlation between living in Trumpistan and being >anti-vax.

    I think there's a bit more wrong with this "Snag" than being anti-vax.
    I think he lives in fear of "them".

    You don't even know if you had COVID. Your anecdote is meaningless

    Anecdotally..... there was a big stink in the region to the west of me.
    There is a well known and very conservative member of Parliament and he
    was in deep shit for having attended a large gathering at a time when
    crowds were being limited, and no one was wearing masks. The region is
    heavily populated with Dutch immigrants, well known for their strict
    religion and conservative views. People were furious that there were
    ignoring all the Covid protocols that we had been told would keep us
    safe. The regional health unit was tracing Covid infections by sex, age
    and location. Curiously,the infection rates in that community were a
    fraction of those of the other municipalities in the Region.

    I still think back to my first years in school and how there were a
    number of students in the senior grades who had to wear steel braces
    because of paralysis caused by polio. We got polio vaccine in Gr. 1 and
    nobody in my cohort got polio. We were also free of smallpox and TB..
    thanks to vaccine.

    I got the Covid19 vaccine as soon as I could and got all the boosters.
    I knew that it was not 100% effective but that it would reduce the
    severity. I went four years Covid but finally got it last month. I was
    not really really ill, but I was out of commission for two weeks.

    It's amazing how many antivaxers know people who died from the vaccine.
    The only person I know who has claimed to suffer (dental) problems from
    it is one of my Sil's stepchildren, and all three of them are pathogical
    liars.

    Just about everyone I know has been vaccinated but still caught it.
    Luckily, most had all had mild case. It was not like the early days of
    the pandemic when people were dropping like flies. Then there are those
    who died of Covid.... the Wuhan flu, not the vaccine.

    I usually tell all people who are afraid of particles to move to
    Alaska, and that particles is the price we pay for the convenience
    of living in a modern city with modern technology.

    I'll take my fire place and car any day over the tiny amount of
    particles they might emit. =)


    Sure, not everyone gets lung cancer and you can live with asthma
    using an inhaler


    Yes, let's reshape the earth based on asthmatics with lung cancer and
    a deficient immune system and let's see how it will go. ;)

    Or they can get health care and the rest of us can get on with life
    instead.

    So, just let them die if beyond help.  You have a great plan.

    That's not what I said. There are doctors, did you know that? ;) As for
    the planet at large, as I said, despite _particles_ (scary, I know!)
    we've never been healthier and wealthier.

    It really is what you said. Doctors don't fix everything, some people
    die. Many cases can be prevented with a little effort.



    What about our grandchildren and great grandchildren when the oil runs
    out? It will at some point.  Does it not make sense to start planning
    now for alternatives?  How to conserve what is left?

    Oh no... peak oil! Have I heard that before? Let me tell you another
    little secret and it is called "the market" and "technological
    development". Oil will not peak over night, and as oil prices increase, alternatives will be develop. It is difficult for me to put into words
    how little I care about peak oil and how much I'm not worried about the
    grand children.

    I've noticed, you only care about yourself. Why worry about the future,
    you won't be here to see the problems.



    What does worry me though is socialism, that will lead to starvation and
    the killing of 100 of millions and that is why socialism and eco-fascism
    must be stopped!

    If not, we'll be back to medieval times in no time. That... worries me. =(

    With your attitude, people will be back to medieval times. Science,
    ingenuity, engineering can prevent it but you choose not to participate.

    Don't do it if there's no need for it Cindy, it could kill you. I know and >> have heard of many who died after the shot.

    For fuck's sake. Billions of doses have been administered and
    relatively few people have died.

    I've already had something like four doses. If I didn't die from the
    first one, I'm not likely to die from the fifth one.

    I have had 6. I managed to avoid Covid until last month, but it was
    relatively mild.

    I don't know about the vaccine status of the husband of one of my wife's
    school mates. He came down with Covid a couple months ago and died it it.

    And that's the "little shot" I was referring to . Remember all the
    histrionics about us unvaxxed "spreading death to everybody"?

    Counties with high vaccination rates (herd immunity) had a greater
    than 80% reduction in death rates compared with counties that had
    low vaccination rates.

    I certainly would rather live in a county with high vaccination
    rates. Oh, hey. I do. The educated people of Washtenaw County
    see the benefit in vaccines.

    REMEMBER
    THE FUCKIN' LOCKDOWNS ?

    Remember the fuckin' lockdowns were before there was a vaccine?

    I didn't stay home for more than a few weeks after the lockdowns
    started. I worked for a defense contractor that was deemed
    essential, so I went back to the office in May 2020. We all got
    vaccinated as soon as it was available.

    Well , I'm still unvaxxed , and yes I've had
    The Coof . Or maybe it was just a cold , I'm not sure . Whatever it was
    I got over it and am in "Damn good physical shape for a man of 72" .

    You don't even know if you had COVID. Your anecdote is meaningless
    in any case.

    Little baby afraid of a shot.


    That's just your opinion .

    Your climate 'model' ignores that the sun does not put
    methane & carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

    Also, heat from tidal friction is about 10 * insolation,
    and heat from radionucleide decay about 10 * tidal friction.



    We were talking fossil fuel here, not climate models.

    No , we were talking about heating with wood . Which we do , with a propane backup for times we aren't home for a couple of days in winter .
    Jill is correct we live in a clearing out in the woods . Not exactly a "cabin" though . 1500 sf with vaulted ceiling in the dining room/kitchen
    and a storm/storage cellar under the dining room/kitchen .

    It is a cabin by royal standards.

    BTW, I was once a dues - paying member of the Democratic Socialists of America*, and until 2016 voted for democrats... I exulted when Obama was elected, even worked on his campaign here in Chicago...

    Why do you think I changed my views...???

    [ * https://www.dsausa.org/

    What is Democratic Socialism?

    Capitalism is a system designed by the owning class to exploit the rest of us for their own profit. We must replace it with democratic socialism, a system where ordinary people have a real voice in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and society...

    We want to collectively own the key economic drivers that dominate our lives, such as energy production and transportation. We want the multiracial working class united in solidarity instead of divided by fear. We want to win “radical” reforms like
    single-payer Medicare for All, defunding the police/refunding communities, the Green New Deal, and more as a transition to a freer, more just life.

    We want a democracy powered by everyday people. The capitalist class tells us we are powerless, but together we can take back control...]..."

    Nothing odd about that. When my husband first started getting allergy
    shots they made him wait afterward.

    None that I witnessed. One woman in the waiting area was talking on her
    cell phone. She had it on speaker (why do people do that?!) Her boyfriend/SO/husband was bitching loudly. "Why do you have to wait
    there for 20 minutes? Just leave! I need cigarettes, dammit! And
    where's my beer? Bring me some beer and cigarettes!" She said she
    already bought them but had to wait before leaving after getting the
    vaccine.

    It was ridiculous and really rather sad. I have no idea why anyone
    would let someone talk to them like that. Get up off your ass and buy
    your own damn cigarettes and beer, dude. And woman, stop kow-towing to
    this loser who expects you to fetch and carry for him.

    Makes me glad my first vax (and the second, come to think of it) was
    at a big drive-through event set up by the county health department.

    If grocery stores ain't supplying you they aren't making any money.

    What little shot? You're just making shit up.

    Reminds me I'm overdue for a COVID shot, though. Thanks.

    Don't do it if there's no need for it Cindy, it could kill you. I know and >>> have heard of many who died after the shot.

    For fuck's sake. Billions of doses have been administered and
    relatively few people have died.

    I've already had something like four doses. If I didn't die from the
    first one, I'm not likely to die from the fifth one.

    I have had 6. I managed to avoid Covid until last month, but it was relatively mild.

    I don't know about the vaccine status of the husband of one of my wife's school mates. He came down with Covid a couple months ago and died it it.

    Had corona 3 times and I just continued to work through it. A common cold
    is actually mroe unpleasant. It's mostly in the mind I think.

    Don't worry snag, I'm a bit of a whipping boy, so if you leave, I'll
    shoulder the burden from you. ;)

    As for the hatred, that's socialism for you, and in case of corona it's
    sunk cost. They played along with theater and lost 2 years of their lives,
    so it would be too painful to admit that what they did was waste 2 years
    of their lives.

    By contrast, I was happily going to restaurants meeting friends, so of
    course there will be hatred.

    It's tough to admit you were conned.

    Or they can get health care and the rest of us can get on with life
    instead.

    So, just let them die if beyond help.  You have a great plan.

    That's not what I said. There are doctors, did you know that? ;) As for the >> planet at large, as I said, despite _particles_ (scary, I know!) we've
    never been healthier and wealthier.

    It really is what you said. Doctors don't fix everything, some people die. Many cases can be prevented with a little effort.

    Exactly my point!



    What about our grandchildren and great grandchildren when the oil runs
    out? It will at some point.  Does it not make sense to start planning now >>> for alternatives?  How to conserve what is left?

    I've noticed, you only care about yourself. Why worry about the future, you won't be here to see the problems.

    That's some great detection skills you have there. Should I be worried
    about any cameras in my home? I bet that I care at least about 1.25x
    more about people than you do. ;)



    What does worry me though is socialism, that will lead to starvation and

    must be stopped!

    If not, we'll be back to medieval times in no time. That... worries me. =(

    With your attitude, people will be back to medieval times. Science, ingenuity, engineering can prevent it but you choose not to participate.

    No, quite the opposite.

    the trademark of what kind of person? is that someone
    that you want in a high public office or someone to admire?
    what about admitting you don't know something and spending
    some time learning about it instead of poking your head
    further up your ass and then accusing others of being
    something they aren't? piling errors upon errors...

    and it's always been the case that the few will always
    complain about some silent majority when they feel like
    they're being opposed. it's been prevalent since the
    early days of usenet to the point where it is a long-
    standing joke. you get a few people who bring out the
    sock puppets to give themselves company and to talk to

    my "veterinary supplies" . Got it at the farm supply (!) .

    I didn't know it got banned. I haven't bought any for several
    months. I get it from a farmer's COOP. I guess I won't be able to
    get it next time I go there.



    Sure you will , the CDC has reversed itself and both Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are now "approved" to treat covid . If you can't
    find a druggist to fill your 'scrip just do what you been doing .



    You are going to need a cite for that. I was skeptical and checked it
    out. Based on the results I gotta call BS on that one. But don't worry.
    Keep repeating it loud enough and often enough and someone will believe
    you. Apparently it worked on you.

    For fuck's sake. Billions of doses have been administered and
    relatively few people have died.

    I've already had something like four doses. If I didn't die from the
    first one, I'm not likely to die from the fifth one.

    I have had 6. I managed to avoid Covid until last month, but it was
    relatively mild.

    I don't know about the vaccine status of the husband of one of my wife's
    school mates. He came down with Covid a couple months ago and died it it.

    Had corona 3 times and I just continued to work through it. A common cold
    is actually mroe unpleasant. It's mostly in the mind I think.

    Your anecdote is not data.

    Swedish young women, it is 19.5% – nearly one in five – compared with

    Sorry, haven't seen any of those. The only ones I've seen are the ones who >> want to give us freedom.

    What freedoms are you lacking?

    Many! Freedom to keep my property, freedom to own a gun, freedom to drink
    when and where I please, freedom to move around physically as long as it
    is not on someone elses private property, freedom to use any substance I
    like etc. Shall I continue?

    Reminds me I'm overdue for a COVID shot, though. Thanks.

    Don't do it if there's no need for it Cindy, it could kill you. I know and
    have heard of many who died after the shot.

    For fuck's sake. Billions of doses have been administered and
    relatively few people have died.

    I've already had something like four doses. If I didn't die from the
    first one, I'm not likely to die from the fifth one.

    I have had 6. I managed to avoid Covid until last month, but it was
    relatively mild.

    Trifles. If you want to own a gun, you should move to a less
    civilized country.

    Why? There are a lot of law abiding gun owners. The problem with guns
    is generally limited to criminals. I am law abiding gun owners. I have
    a permit. I keep my guns locked up safely and use them only for target shooting. Handguns are strictly regulated here and are legally owned and acquired handguns are almost never involved in crimes. Yet there is a
    still a problem with handgun homicides because there is an element of
    our society who buy illegal guns, carry them around and use them to
    shoot people. I see no value in restricting my right to use guns for
    hunting and target shooting because criminals are ignoring the law.

    Josh didn't have any. Don and I were watching his dog, Prince when he
    was at work. Then one day he didn't pickup hime so we called and he
    said he was really sick and might go to the hospital and asked us to

    When I heard that Trump was the Republican candidate I figured that
    Clinton had it in the bag. I can't believe that Americans voted for that buffoon. I don't even blame him for being the idiot he is. I blame the American people for electing him. I blame the Republican party for
    nominating him.

    Your climate 'model' ignores that the sun does not put

    Also, heat from tidal friction is about 10 * insolation,

    We were talking fossil fuel here, not climate models.

    No , we were talking about heating with wood . Which we do , with a

    Yup, assume you are well off grid in a very woody area. Others will
    try to pretend you can use others means but are clueless really on the
    costs.


    We're not exactly off grid , since we do have power , water , and telephone/internet . We are in a heavily wooded area which makes it a
    natural to heat with wood . We also have a 250 gallon propane tank and
    could use that for heat if I wanted to install a furnace . But propane
    costs money , firewood costs a little for fuel and supplies , but it's
    mostly labor . Which is OK , I need the exercise .

    I thought you lacked substantive freedoms, not the freedom to make
    a self-destructive nuisance of yourself. (Considering your behavior
    here, I don't know what that should surprise me.)


    I'd like the freedom to shit on trump's face, but that's probably
    unconstitutional.

    It would be assault. A state crime, not a federal crime. And
    certainly not unconstitutional.

    I wonder if it happened, if it would become an ammendment?

    Folks, the movie of our lives is "MAGA vs the SLOBBOTS". Think of a
    modern Japanese monster movie.

    MAGA - Make America Great Again!

    It's already great. Not perfect, but we're working on that.

    SLOBBOTS - Self LOBotomized Biden robOTS

    Has it occurred to you that we all were like this before Biden
    was elected?

    Coming soon to a theater near you!
    Oh, and remember, satire and comedy are dead arts. :(

    You just can't satirize Trump. Everything he says sounds like it
    came straight from The Onion.

    I wonder what Tom Lehrer in his prime would have made of him.


    Oh he would have had a blast with Biden for sure! =D

    I think you missed the point. Snag is talking a 10 lb. pork butt.
    Rubbed with dry seasonings and smoked. Even if you could truly fit a 10
    lb. pork butt into a 10 quart crockpot it would not be anything like
    what he's talking about.

    "If you have to ask , you wouldn't understand ." Carol , you're
    comparing mushrooms with truffles ...
    You toss that butt into the crockpot and walk away . I lit the fire
    at 8:00 , put the butt on at around 8:45 . I was up until almost
    midnight getting the temp stabilized - my smoker is getting old and
    leaky - and finicky . Up at 3:00 to check temps and adjust a bit , it
    was down to about 180°F . Up as usual at 6:15 to put the coffee on and
    walk the dog - check temps again and add some more (lump hardwood)
    charcoal .
    A couple or 3 more checks during the day while I'm machining parts
    for a milling machine upgrade . I shut all vents on the smoker around
    4:30 to let it cool slowly .
    Now , is that slow-cooker butt worth this kind of effort ? IMO , if it
    wasn't worth the effort , my wife would be cooking these butts in the
    crock pot . YMMV

    My rub, after coating with mustard, it mostly salt, pepper, garlic, but

    Snag, I once saw a special on the American Food Network about meat
    smoking competitions. People were travelling your country in 4WDs with
    smoking cabins attached. The men had lots of unnecessary facial hair
    and big beer bellies, wore second hand clothing and had that dumb
    Trump voter look in their eyes. The women had several layers of dye
    visible in their hair and forgot to put on their bras. Is that your
    scene?

    I've use some of those too, good results. I like the way you measure to

    My temperature target is 225 to 250.

    Don't mind Carol. :)  I doubt she's ever had dry rubbed smoked
    Memphis style "BBQ", brisket or otherwise.  It's definitely not
    something that can be cooked in a crockpot.

       I started out with a Brinkman Smoke-n-grill ... takes up about a

    the smoker . I leave the foil under the meat while it's smoking  .
     I smoke at 200° to 220° around 2 hours per pound . It's ready when

    I use brown sugar on brisket too.  Lots of black pepper, salt,

    Beef prices are out of sight . I did splurge on some ribeyes . I
    figure those steaks cost me about 6 bucks each ... a bargain really ,
    the same steak at WM is over 9 bucks .

    I think you missed the point. Snag is talking a 10 lb. pork butt.
    Rubbed with dry seasonings and smoked. Even if you could truly fit a
    10 lb. pork butt into a 10 quart crockpot it would not be anything
    like what he's talking about.

    Jill

    Yes, but I look for 7-8lb ones. Easier to flip in the crockpot.

    Hi Snag, note I was NOT talking a dry rub smoked deal. All I said was
    I use a crockpot to make oulled pork. The generic term 'pulled pork'
    doesn't indicate method of cooking. Since I specifically said 'using a crockpot' it obviously was not the same dish. I did not compare the
    dishes.


    "If you have to ask , you wouldn't understand ." Carol , you're
    comparing mushrooms with truffles ... You toss that butt into the
    crockpot and walk away . I lit the fire at 8:00 , put the butt on at
    around 8:45 . I was up until almost midnight getting the temp
    stabilized - my smoker is getting old and leaky - and finicky . Up at
    3:00 to check temps and adjust a bit , it was down to about 180°F .
    Up as usual at 6:15 to put the coffee on and walk the dog - check
    temps again and add some more (lump hardwood) charcoal . A couple or
    3 more checks during the day while I'm machining parts for a milling
    machine upgrade . I shut all vents on the smoker around 4:30 to let
    it cool slowly . Now , is that slow-cooker butt worth this kind of
    effort ? IMO , if it wasn't worth the effort , my wife would be
    cooking these butts in the crock pot . YMMV

    I've smoked them in the past when I had a nice smoker but it didn't
    last from 1996 to now. Jill likes to 'add' to things that the person
    didn't say. Try to not get caught up in it. Shr didn't ask what size
    my actual crockpot is. I only 'looks like this one' which shows the
    color and dial. Mine is a 12 qt. With no trimming though a 10qt might
    fit a 8lb butt. Trimmed, (aka be boned and cut ends off then put those
    to the sides, probably manage to get a 10lb butt in there. We don't
    need that much meat.

    I used to think no cellar meant a 'cottage', but

    The term "goat barn" originated with Sheldon. For some reason he
    couldn't stand the idea of a house being built on a slab. Fat lot of
    good having a basement did him when he could no longer climb stairs.

    I like goat barns. Less work climbing up stairs, so they're great for

    Goat barns suck in tornadoes, though they're no where near as bad as

    Code for most of Florida in recent years is for 150 mph winds. Usually tornadoes are EF0 or EF1.   If you have a basement here it is a swimming pool or indoor pond.

    Tornados are not very common where I live now. Nor basements in homes
    built on these sea islands. I remember Sheldon claiming the best place
    to go during a hurricane was a basement. Uh, that would be wrong. The
    last place you want to be is *underground* if there is a storm surge.

    The term "goat barn" originated with Sheldon. For some reason he couldn't stand the idea of a house being built on a slab. Fat lot of good having a basement did him when he could no longer climb stairs.

    Code for most of Florida in recent years is for 150 mph winds. Usually
    tornadoes are EF0 or EF1.   If you have a basement here it is a
    swimming pool or indoor pond.

    Tornados are not very common where I live now. Nor basements in homes
    built on these sea islands. I remember Sheldon claiming the best place to
    go during a hurricane was a basement. Uh, that would be wrong. The last place you want to be is *underground* if there is a storm surge.

    I'm curious about the brown sugar. Doesn't it make it too sweet?

      Surprisingly enough no it doesn't . The sugar caramelizes and forms a
    "bark" that seals all the tasty juices inside .

    I use brown sugar on brisket too. Lots of black pepper, salt, granulated garlic.

    The local supermarket had a whole brisket but at $87, I passed.

    Jesus, that's high as a cat's ass! Was it Publix?

    You've got a crock pot that will hold a 10 pound pork butt?

    Jill

    So do I.  Large oval.  Looks like this one.

    <https://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-33195-Extra-Large-Capacity/dp
    /B07DKXNW2M/>


    That's what I use when I make pulled port butts,  I'm pretty sure
    an eight QT unit would work too with a smaller butt.


    I think you missed the point.  Snag is talking a 10 lb. pork butt.
    Rubbed with dry seasonings and smoked.  Even if you could truly fit
    a 10 lb. pork butt into a 10 quart crockpot it would not be
    anything like what he's talking about.

    Jill

    Hi Snag, note I was NOT talking a dry rub smoked deal. All I said was
    I use a crockpot to make oulled pork. The generic term 'pulled pork'
    doesn't indicate method of cooking. Since I specifically said 'using a crockpot' it obviously was not the same dish. I did not compare the
    dishes.


    "If you have to ask , you wouldn't understand ." Carol , you're
    comparing mushrooms with truffles ... You toss that butt into the
    crockpot and walk away . I lit the fire at 8:00 , put the butt on at
    around 8:45 . I was up until almost midnight getting the temp
    stabilized - my smoker is getting old and leaky - and finicky . Up at
    3:00 to check temps and adjust a bit , it was down to about 180°F .
    Up as usual at 6:15 to put the coffee on and walk the dog - check
    temps again and add some more (lump hardwood) charcoal . A couple or
    3 more checks during the day while I'm machining parts for a milling
    machine upgrade . I shut all vents on the smoker around 4:30 to let
    it cool slowly . Now , is that slow-cooker butt worth this kind of
    effort ? IMO , if it wasn't worth the effort , my wife would be
    cooking these butts in the crock pot . YMMV

    I've smoked them in the past when I had a nice smoker but it didn't
    last from 1996 to now. Jill likes to 'add' to things that the person
    didn't say. Try to not get caught up in it. Shr didn't ask what size
    my actual crockpot is. I only 'looks like this one' which shows the
    color and dial. Mine is a 12 qt. With no trimming though a 10qt might
    fit a 8lb butt. Trimmed, (aka be boned and cut ends off then put those
    to the sides, probably manage to get a 10lb butt in there. We don't
    need that much meat.


    If her majesty has a crock pot, it is likely about a 1 pint size. And
    likely gets too damn hot to boot.

    we have a nice central stone fireplace and the utility room
    next to it which will be the safest place we can get to easily.
    as the house is also hexagon shaped makes it pretty sturdy in
    storms. the small tornado that went by us some years ago did
    no damage to our place at all, but it did tear up the neighbor's
    places. i was here at the time and didn't even know we had a
    tornado go by until i looked out the window and noticed the
    neighbor's garage missing and then a moment later the power
    went out.

    We're not exactly off grid , since we do have power , water , and telephone/internet . We are in a heavily wooded area which makes it a
    natural to heat with wood . We also have a 250 gallon propane tank and
    could use that for heat if I wanted to install a furnace . But propane
    costs money , firewood costs a little for fuel and supplies , but it's
    mostly labor . Which is OK , I need the exercise .

    i also need the exercise but heating with wood doesn't
    work for us. both of us have no tolerance for smoke of
    any quantity, plus i really should not mess around with
    chainsaws and axes. so i limit my exercise to the gardens
    and shovelling snow and hiking once in a while if i can
    actually get away.

    i do use a pair of loppers and a limbing saw to cut
    some small stuff down but generally i have to leave the
    big trees to the people with the right equipment.

    most trees here i'm willing to let live and die in
    their own way. i think that leaving some standing dead
    wood is worth it because it does provide food and homes
    for various other creatures.

    unfortunately we also had several younger (the age ranged

    not compare the dishes.


    "If you have to ask , you wouldn't understand ." Carol , you're
    comparing mushrooms with truffles ... You toss that butt into the crockpot and walk away . I lit the fire at 8:00 , put the butt on
    at around 8:45 . I was up until almost midnight getting the temp stabilized - my smoker is getting old and leaky - and finicky .
    Up at 3:00 to check temps and adjust a bit , it was down to about
    180°F . Up as usual at 6:15 to put the coffee on and walk the
    dog - check temps again and add some more (lump hardwood)
    charcoal . A couple or 3 more checks during the day while I'm
    machining parts for a milling machine upgrade . I shut all vents
    on the smoker around 4:30 to let it cool slowly . Now , is that slow-cooker butt worth this kind of effort ? IMO , if it wasn't
    worth the effort , my wife would be cooking these butts in the
    crock pot . YMMV

    I've smoked them in the past when I had a nice smoker but it didn't
    last from 1996 to now. Jill likes to 'add' to things that the
    person didn't say. Try to not get caught up in it. Shr didn't ask
    what size my actual crockpot is. I only 'looks like this one'
    which shows the color and dial. Mine is a 12 qt. With no trimming
    though a 10qt might fit a 8lb butt. Trimmed, (aka be boned and cut
    ends off then put those to the sides, probably manage to get a 10lb
    butt in there. We don't need that much meat.

    I see your point about comparisons ... and we don't need that much
    meat all at once , I portion and freeze it for later . 10 ounces make
    2 very nice sandwiches .

    Agreed. Did you turn you dry rub smoked one into pulled pork? There's
    several options abd I don't see where you pulled it.

    Yes, normally I split it with my friend Maria who makes all sorts of
    delicious Mexican recipes with it from Carnitas on. A crockpot, as you probably know, works a bit like a steamer and a braiser. A pork butt
    comes out tender and moist as can be after 8-12hours.

    Somepeople start the crockpot with a fair liquid base but it's not
    needed and actually comes out worse than if you just let it develop
    it's own liquid. So 'technically' it can start as a 'dry rub' but of
    course that would be silly as it won't stay that way. I do add a few
    splashes of vinegar *brown cane vinegar is optimal IMHO for it's
    delicate sweetness). Some get a splash of worstershire sauce.
    Sometimes some soy sauce. The amounts of these are too small to leave
    anything but a faint imprint. The main flavoring comes after it's
    cooked.

    An 8lb butt yields about 6lbs of meat. Maria gets 1/2 (sometimes she
    buys, others I do but works out pretty even). Even frozen you don't
    want it around forever!

    Anyways, that's my simple rendition. I'd like the details of your dry
    rub just to drool over?

    We moved to CT in 1981 and replaced the original Franklin stove in the
    family room with a more efficient Vermont Casting stove. Great
    supplement to the oil heat.

    Wood was cheap, sometimes free, the labor was good exercise. I was 35 at
    the time. We sometimes cooked on the stove too. As time went on, I
    found it easier to nudge the dial on the thermostat than to bring in
    some wood. The last 10 - 12 years there, no fires at all.

    could use that for heat if I wanted to install a furnace . But propane
    costs money , firewood costs a little for fuel and supplies , but it's

    i also need the exercise but heating with wood doesn't
    work for us. both of us have no tolerance for smoke of
    any quantity, plus i really should not mess around with
    chainsaws and axes. so i limit my exercise to the gardens
    and shovelling snow and hiking once in a while if i can
    actually get away.


    Max and I walk at least a mile every day . I currently have 4
    chainsaws that run and parts for another one or two ... snow , if it's
    enough to need moving gets pushed around with Rusty the Tractor .



    i do use a pair of loppers and a limbing saw to cut
    some small stuff down but generally i have to leave the
    big trees to the people with the right equipment.


    I have the equipment ... it's not unusual to take down a tree 70 feet
    tall and 18" at the base .



    most trees here i'm willing to let live and die in
    their own way. i think that leaving some standing dead
    wood is worth it because it does provide food and homes
    for various other creatures.


    songbird


    I try to focus on dead/dying/diseased trees . Sometimes I'll take a
    healthy one to thin and give the surrounding trees more sun . Proper
    management can give me all the firewood I'll ever need and improve the
    health of the woods in general .
    I too leave a few dead trees standing around in the woods . We are
    rewarded with frequent sightings of several types of woodpeckers .

    the key is not using a tomato sauce on the crust but
    using bbq sauce or some other light sauce or no sauce

    I think that would be good. Consider carmelized onions? Super easy in
    a crockpot.

    Best done in a crockpot. Cut up 4-5 onions. I like half moons by
    cutting down from top to bottom then cut horizontally.

    Add 1/2 stick butter to crockpot on keep warm' (can start on low and
    reduce). Add onions broken up. Give a good stir 30 minutes in to
    evenly coat onions. They freeze very well. We split it to sandwich
    bags then added to a gallon ziplock. How long depends on you but I
    like 5-6 hours.

    Now use those on the 'BBQ' pizza!

    Charlie is quite a hoot! We found out about him as he was headed to

    bad. He'd no usable electricity (just a cable from a generous
    neighbor). Cooked on propane. ND folks banded together and helped
    out. He's comming up on 62 now soon so will get social security.
