So what does carbon neutral mean? It means we are not producing more CO² then we are making. So the net change in the atmosphere is nuetral or at least negligible for now. Back in 1960 that ment protect forest and other green spaces so nature could take care of it.

During the gas crisis in the 1970s we got more attune to biofuels. Fuels for internal combustion engines that could replace petroleum. As it would so happen the oil producing state or OPEC had decided to get for them selves so political power. They cut oil production and raise fuel cost. A little of what the wanted they deserved. They wanted to benefit from all the money being made by that oil. Being the almost exclusive supplier of oil gave them a lot of power to blackmail the rest of the world.

Of course the Ukrainian war is showing them the foolishness of that mentality right now as they can not produce enough food. And eating is much more powerful a need.

We kind have lost the push since then as more country's started drilling. But even that will not last. So some scientist gave been working on producing the source of energy we will have to do eventually. Not everyone thinks with their waller. They had been working on producing such replacement fuels anyway.

Think of alge as Natures solar cells and they are far more efficient the the man made ones. They produce a surplus and they can make it into biofuels for us. We see some researcher have been tweeking that with the algal cloth.

Others have gone beyond. Alge. The cglopyll in alge act as a catalyst.. it makes chemical reactions happen among other things. But come out of the process it's self unchanged. Other scientist are finding catalysts that take the C0² from the are and turns it Bach into fuel ether hydrocarbons or blue hydrogen Urea (I can make Urea too and do it all the time when I pee) either can be used as a fuel. The trick is getting more energy out of it then we put in it. Thar is a net plus for energy and that requires catalysts.

What is wrong with this is we must reduce CO² in the atmosphere even faster. We are no where near net neutral and the climatic changes. We need our net neutral tilted even more toward eating up CO². Our like OPEC we will find our oil not very tasty. We need a closer globe for the maximum population and production.

Dr Pepper ribs

Ingredients

Ingredients for the ribs:

1/4 cup kosher salt

1/4 cup black pepper

1/4 cup brown sugar

Strawberry Pretzel Pie

Ingredients

4 cups miniature pretzels

6 tablespoons butter, melted

1/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup boiling water

1 package (6 ounces) strawberry gelatin

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled, divided

2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided

1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme

2/3 cup whipped cream cheese

2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

Directions

1. Place pretzels in a food processor; pulse until chopped. Add butter and sugar; pulse until combined. Reserve 1/3 cup pretzel mixture for topping. Press remaining mixture onto bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, add boiling water to gelatin; stir 2 minutes to completely dissolve. Stir in lemon juice. Refrigerate 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Chop half the strawberries; slice remaining berries and reserve for topping. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Beat marshmallow creme, cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk into cooled gelatin mixture until blended. Gently fold in chopped strawberries and whipped cream. Pour into crust.

We where blessed we have more artifacts from the Moche' culture. This blessing came from the fact that the Moche' built their monuments of Adobe' bricks. After a couple of good strong el Ninos that soften and devolved the bricks till the wolf thing looked like just a pile of mud.

The gold mad conquistadors had no clue deep in thT pile of mud was a elaborate tomb and fild with rich.

While the Moche did not leave a written record (they may have used the quipu recording technique that we have yet to decipher), the Moche ritual contexts and their daily lives are known because of excavations and detailed study of their ceramic, sculptural and mural art. I also found a paper on something called the lime bean recording system.. quipy goes way back to Norte Chico and Chivan. The knots are to complex for just counting and may relate more information.

We know for fact that wompum of North America served a simular function. Well authentic wompum like this one

Which represents a peace treated with the Iroquois represented by the pine tree. This is what is a memory aid and the story that had to be memorized. White people thought it was money and started counterfeiting them so their are a lot with no meaning at all.

I need to review the lime bean recording device though. Honest injun.

The tomb of the lord of Sipan is probably the richest find of artifacts, Huaca Rajada. Well update they found three Moche tomb non where disturbing much. This does not include the Chimu tomb right next door.

This is one of the sites thT make archeologist thing the Chimu evolved after a period when Moche where do.inated by the Wari empire. The Chimu have a mixture of Moche And warm art styles. So they tend to see it as the Moche where like the Greeks with city states. The Wari took over. They the Chimu empire formed. That was conquered by the Inca.

This rich trove of artifacts start to reveal a lot about the Moche. The burial practices hVe not revealed a patter at this time. Except for cutting off some guys feet.

We have identified four main deities. Witch appear regularly together. Two male two female but know little more of the religion. Except cutting of some guys feet.

Genetic studies show one of these mummies was related throu the king of Sipan through the matrilinear side, that is the mother's side. So of course the white people assume it was a patralonear society?

Let let you in on not exactly a secret. The tiano are matrelinear, the Iroquois are matriliner, the Lakota Re machinery, the Apache are matalinear, the Navajo are matrilinear. The Civil cheif is chosen because of who his mother and sisters where. Based on this this evidence I say the Moche where Matrilinear.

LA bruja, the witch, they found a more respectful name for her LA senior or Dma de Ceo, the lady of Chio. Her tomb was found nearly intact too. It is not near the same town but not that far away.

Remember how I told you because she was dress as if she had great power the white Spanish guy called her LA Bruja the witch.. we can ignore just about what the Eurocentrc commentators say. She is clearly the chief of her people. Three of the ostumes have religious conceptions to the four primary figures in the art. So three of these held religious power. The wher cheif/priest. They likely reenacted that roll on a regular bases. Curious what a genetic comparison of the lady of chio and the lord of sipan would reveal. as the Tiano throughout the Carrabean where matriliniar and all the various cheifs where decended from the same great mother.

As the Tianos primary goddess is mother to all the "gods". This is America not Europe. The old Trapers when the brought new people across the great divide from the colonies would insist on stopping and baptise them when ask why the would say it is a whole new world with whole new rules. The baptised them into there new life, reborn.

We have to relegate eurocentrism to the garbage pile. To start let's tell the truth. At the battle of Llima the Spanish where hopelessly outmatched. As document hidden in the archive in Spain say. Pizzaro had taken the daughter of two cheifs in their own right of the Wari people. Knowing her husband would not survive the Inca onslaught she sent a message to her mother to send all her warriors. Pizarro lout his suite for more money and power becks the crown found it was the wari who defeated the Inca.

If the Ukrainians can capture the Russian platoon from the front and back and take some of the equipment they can park it on the other side of the river just as the Russians had intended.. then have the people cut of come toward them as if to surrender. Before the Russian even are aware it is no longer theirs. I get ahead of myself. We have no idea of the size of the augmented Ukrainian. They had 40,000 and had everyone of fighting age take up arems. 10,000 of their own minimum not counting the women who where not shy to step up. They had a steady stream of foreign volunteers. Russia as we have seen have lost thousands. They have a large group to conscript. Yet they are forcing locals to fight for them. That is the worst least dedicated level of soldier.

I am guess the number are comparable. Only that fat animal with its tail over his head of a British General would be frightening of having 1300 with a fighting contingent of 300 Indians up against 1400 marines. Tuck his tale between his legs and run off. Leaving Tecumseh's inndians to hold the line while his 1300 run off.

What we know is happening. Putin declaring himself Peter the Great and promising to restore the empire had the expected effect on his ally. Communist and emperiallist are avowed enemies. XI is demanding the war ends. Xi can play that Canon fodder game a lot better then Putin.

Ukraine is likely right in that putin is not out of modern weapons. His stock pile is seriously depleted and needs time to recover.that is why they kept asking if the US was out yet. The US grunts are working the factories not being tossed in front of tanks.

There is no way to tell how much trouble putin is in inside Russia. Being duplicitous is now survival instinct in the old Soviet empire. We can only believe our Ukrainians so far. I am sure you have seen their propaganda too. It is normal during war. Ukrainian statements are usually visually backed up.

Things are changing and Putin is finished. He can not win. The cinorussian bond is as bad as the west's bonds with China. We can work with China. They did not lie about Hong Kong it was always pat of China. Tiawan has not good half of its history it wS a rival dynasty. China is permitted to negotiate with Tiawan.

Jan 6 is having the expected effect. The Trumpist are doing the other part of deciding the party. The numbers of viewers means the most important members of the electorate, the independents are watching. Despite inflation Democrates will win.

They need the pass that gun bill fast. That will give democrats leg up. Be easier to ride that horse to victory one we get a leg up in the stirup. Something Else I am not good at anymore. Least not till a riding regime healed a few things.

Abortion has mostly been 50/50. What these slanted pole do not tell you is the majority is right down the middle. They want a good reason for an abortion. Saying the woman can put a baby up for adoption is kind of dead. We do not do well on abortion.

The cultural war has went down the toilet too. Except for Trans there is little to it. We have to get through to people the truths about sex. And who is stronger man or woman is total garbage. But I made a mistake there. I pointed out that Nemo would one day go Trans. That passed DeSantis so much he took it out on Disney.

They poiso Ed the Saudis minds now. The Saud banned rainbow tous. Hey the rainbow was God's promise to the profit Noah. Maybe they should talk with God

Well another day of frustration. Will I ever be rid of the clown. Will the new place come through. I need that new place.

Given your daught some study skills tips. I do know them just did not have that bright future. The 70s where worse then these days. Jobs where being shipped oversea as fast as they could yea never had much faith in the financial Gurus. Knew they where running a scam.

Biden talked about a minimum tax. They are running a scam now they would do anything to make Biden look bad and keep rapping America for all she is worth. Refuse to talk about the elephant in the room climate change. A tail of two river. Both start only miles apart. One is flooding and tearing up the land as it flows east to the Missouri and on to the Mississippi. The other flows south where it slowly turns to sand. A tale of to farmers one watching his furtile land turn to dust and blow away and battles uncountrol wild fired. The other his crops in the ground praying that his effort will not be washed away. Yet no one sees the elephant in the room. Or rather ignores it because fixing the problem means sacrifices.

The fact check in the news is. Correct. This round of inflation started under Trump. Want an exact date. What day did he announce his trade war with China? That was where electronics started to rise in cost. The thought the rest of that year Trump started trade war after trade war.

That also caused the market collapse when the virus shut China. Desperate Trump pumped two rounds of stimulus plus money into the Economy and started calling for the third because he thought it would save his job. Not enough chaos for you. Then he started blaming China falsely for manufacturing the pandemic starting the hostilities withvthem.

Panic drives it now. There is no reason for the market to be down except panic. We'll not right now where crypto collapses their will be. Cripto in down right now because the market is down. It's little house of cards will collapse for real eventually. The real reason is big business does not want to pay its share of the debt to run the country.

Ukraine is doing fine. Troops in the north are chasing the Russians south. Russians are abandoning the area to reinforce the troops trying to take that city. They are on the wrong side of the river and can not get to the Russian side. If Ukraine can position some artillery to intercept and destroy that unit they could regain the momentum of the fight.

They should regain some momentum in the south with those land to sea missiles

Whooly mammoths lived like elephant today except they lived in the artic. So far it is a little of in that the baby would have been tended to by a whole herd. The matriarch would have been mother and grandmother or them all. So all the animals benefit by raising the chances of the babies to survive. Mamma has to walk around 2 years pregnant. So every child's success is critical.

It is a white people film though and make all wild animals sound so vicious. Preditors eat meat but those savory tooth cat where just pushy cats. Very very big strong cats but cats. No we have a boy stereotype girl stereotype.

Wholly mammoths had small ears and long warm fur. Heavy built with short legs all adaptations to stay warm in the cold. Tall skinny dancers Re better for where it is hot.

They migrated Cross the open tundra to the edge of what was then the Taiga to winter. There like elephant today they could knock dow trees to as emergency food.

The last wholly mammoths lived on an island of the coast of Alaska when Egypt was just becoming an empire. Mammoths where specially adapted to the cold north and preferred to stay where it was cold. Eventually the climate warmed to much. Their large size became liability. It was the smaller musk ox that would find the food they needed to survive in their preferred environment

A young lady now they will expe t you to do book reports. One of your source .ight be a news paper article like this one.

It tells you how the boy mammoths lived. But we are s.art and know mammoths live like elephants and can piece together their lives by comparing.

We should make a special note for all the Republicans that I've to play word games. I did not say Trymp calluded with Russia. I noted Putin calluded with the Trump campaign to get Trump elected. Just as the Durham probe established Steve Bannon who was Trumps campaign manager work with Russia. The little game of meaning is intact. Trump isolated himself from the act like a skilled mob Don to avoid actual charges, intent.

They they just whispered a whole bunch of sweet nothing for " gun control". A lot of double talk. If the house is wise they should go forward with thatc1000% AR 15 tax. They did nothing. What possible good is stopping sales to unstable people if you do not have a red flag system to identify them. People need to be looking for the signs of unstable behavior. Report it let the professionals investigate. To make an assessment.

No one who es their children should be pleased with this. They should be screaming for laws that do something. As the retired marine put it. If you do not let your trained experienced professionals do it. Why do you let a bunch of drunken Babas do it.

That Jan 6 investigation is doing a bang up job. Even FOX is airing it now. Just out of curiosity. Ind you. Even that can not resist the temptation to watch for Trump to pop out from. Behind the door wearing a hockey mash weilding a dagger.

I am afraid Zelenski is not quit up to this battle. He clings to Ukraine past trying to preserve e erything. The people in that town are no cut of. The city was not his most important asseset. His people are. He can retake the city. It takes a generation to rise new Ukrainians to fight for there freedom. He has to make sure his losses are substantial less then the Russian. This is a war of attrition. Not of overpowering the massive Russian military. He need to make Russias losses to be so great the give up.

That to a big step closer. A bunch of body bags where returned to Russia. The People where not happy. Gra Ted it is not a free society like 1960 United States a d we do not have a time table but the revolt is co.ing. how long did it take the surfs to over through the tsar. Putin has is ar.y retrofitted and no populated with conscripts. He is closer to Tsar Nicolas. Then Peter the great.

The Ukrainians will win they have the passion. And yes they would be an asset to the EU as the bread basket of Europe.

We are going to talk about climate change. But . Not migration up and down the African contingent. Not a migration across the artic. This migration occurs in the ocean. No not the great blue whales biggest animals on earth swimming from the artic to antarctic. But the whale for certain make not of this one. This is the .igration up and down the water column from deep in the twilight zone the the ocean serface.surface.

This migration is so huge it causes currents twice a day. One bringing cold water from the deep in the morning and a reverse current sinking down. In some areas like the coast of Labrador and the norther coast of Paru. This migration produces the largest fisheries in the world.

What does that have to do with climate change. Just before the covid out break some climate modelers where noticing this anomaly in their modles. There was this area of cold water off the coast of Peru where the fisher was. It was remaining Coulter then it should be.

Well someone reminded them that oceans are not just 2 dimensional but work in 3 dimensions. Some old research, a new idea and the modles are being adjusted. The first step is to ask question. Then observe and examine what is going on.

We found the zooplankton are moving vast areas oF the deep ocean being colder water to the surface. That was the climate modles anomaly. But they may also be taking vast a.ounts of carbon down into the depths. Thus reducing global temperature.

An overall picture. We have a little more time to turn that climate change around. The oceans must warm to a yet unknown temperature before it is totally out of control. How ever a word of caution from chemistry all the dead organizms and waste that is at the bottom of the ocean creates vast reserves of Hydrogen sulfide. If we ignore the warning and do not change. Paleontology tells us we may recreate the Great dying extinction event like the extinction that ended the Permian. 90%of all life on earth could become extinct.

In the wild the albino galapagos tortoise would likely become extinct. Albinism is a genetic condition where the individual does not produce pigment. The white tortoise is nearly blind but that is not a big risk here. The greatest risk are she can not hide. Her predators can easily see her. If she where huge like mama she would not be on the menu. She has to get that big first. Number to she has no protection from the sun and no hand to rub suntan lotion all over.

Cola Barbecue Ribs

Ingredients^

1 20-ounce bottle cola

2 cups ketchup

2/3 cup apple cider vinegar

1/3 cup lightly packed dark brown sugar

1/3 cup Dijon mustard

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons sweet paprika

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

5 racks baby back ribs (8 to 10 pounds total), membranes removed

Vegetable oil, for the grill

Directions

Make the barbecue sauce: Bring the cola to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Cook until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Add the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne and 2 teaspoons paprika. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

Preheat a grill to medium and prepare for indirect grilling: On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side; on a gas grill, turn off half the burners. Combine 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon paprika in a bowl. Rub the salt mixture all over the ribs. Remove 1 cup of the barbecue sauce to a small bowl; brush over the ribs.

Wrap each rack of ribs separately in foil. Put the racks, overlapping if necessary, on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat). Cover and cook, flipping the ribs after 30 minutes, until just tender and beginning to pull away from the bones, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.

Remove the ribs from the grill and carefully unwrap; pour any juices into the pan with the remaining barbecue sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.

Increase the grill heat to medium high. Brush the ribs with some sauce from the pan and grill over direct heat, flipping every 5 minutes, until glossy and crisp at the edges, about 20 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a large cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Cut the ribs between the bones and serve with the remaining barbecue sauce.

If you're making the ribs on a charcoal grill, you'll need 3 to 4 pounds of charcoal. Add several new briquettes to the coals every 30 minutes to maintain the heat.

That it that their big hit. Tells you a lot about the group when that comes. It when the made their mark. The pretenders are mostly good. Some get only one good song some one good album. You had two great albums. Apparently when you where mad at me.

Would be nice if we could hold a real conversation. The news just willows in the same spot all the time. Oh wait the war and the shooting pushed the covid virus out. Maybe a little to good we still need to hear whT is going on. We just do not need political infighting and the its the end of the world panic. To many lived spoiled lives. We had to deal with serious outbreaks for a long time. We had them under control.

CDC did confirm monkeypox does not spread through inhalation. And really the outbreak is not that big. Just unusually wide spread. The question is why it is not in a specific area. As far as we know their is no history of a "Typhoid Mary" type incidents in the past. The rational explanation it was ACCEDENTLY spread by we hope a lee legitimate exotic pet dealer. So Republican do not call up the armed forces yet. It is more likely an innocent mistake.

The war is almost forgotten with Jan 6 commitee going. We can not lapse on thkraine crisis. They are in no position to produce the munitions. They are the boots on the ground do not let them down in the logistics. Grant it They can be some whT worrisome boot on the ground still largely driven by vengeance but they are doing the dangerous part. I do not know I still have to check. Mariupol gave the Russian an embarrassing win that is what they are driving on now. The talk of Ukraine running out of fighters is in error. They are sti getting a steady number of leagioners. They are still holding a better armed- scratch that the Russians are now raiding their museums for antiques. As well as their population. Just the Ukrainians had little standing aremy and munitions inventory. Most of that was Russian antiques. Ah let me check the BBC they are not as distracted after the jubilee. US has elections, Instructions and school shootings to distract them.

No real big changes in Ukraine. There is a lot of we did , we did, we,did. What we know is Russia took out a bridge. But the had to call up more troops to fight. With will cause more resentment for the government ate home. Putin is already fighting for his political life against shadow forces. And had to pay a lot of death benefits for soldiers who died. Correction soldiers whoes deaths where discovered. So their is a time bo.b ticking their

It looks bad for the west right now the US has made more farmers plant this year. We may get prices down a bit in the US. The world is a bigger problem. Ukraine will not be planting this year. India is already in severe drought. You know how to can and preserve food. Might want to do some.

Well thus should be timely let look at distilling sea,water to obtain fresh water. There are two traditional ways. Distill it by boiling or the modern way reverse os.osis.

This process goes at least as far bak as Egypt. You boil off the water into steam. Pass into through a condenser where it can be cooled to water again. The salt is left behind in the glass. And pure water is dripped into the beaker.

Reverse osmosis uses the process of osmosis that the cell of your body uses. So what is osmosis.

It >s where water passes overs a barrier that only water can go through your body uses it to keep your cells from having to much or to little water. In nature .olicules will mo e from the hire concentration to where the is a low concentration. Water does this without being forced but the salt ions will too.

Our cell deal with this by using a membrane that let only water through. We want pure water though so we much apply a force to keep the water flowing in the one direction. That is what the reverse osmosis filter does keeps the water flowing one way and the salt and fish pop and other crop out.

We are going to do some survival distilling. Let us say you are shipwrecked on a desert island how do you make some of that sea water safe to drink. You dig a big hole and set a creation obtained in the corner. Now put some sea water into the pit. Cover it with preferable a dark tarp the a stone to make a dip right over your collection container. As the pit heats up in the sun the sea water will evaporate collect on the tarp the run down to the low spot over you collection Container. You might want to use some clean marbles to keep your collector weighed down upright and not floating around. Minus the tarp and collecting container. This is how they harvest salt in many countries including ones in Africa.

Grilled Mahi Mahi with Summer Squash Salsa

Ingredients

1 yellow zucchini or yellow squash

Kosher salt

2 tomatoes, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced (remove seeds for less heat)

Juice of 2 limes

2/3 cup packed fresh cilantro (leaves and tender stems), chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander

8 skinless mahi mahi or striped bass fillets (about 6 ounces each)

Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing

Freshly ground pepper

Directions

Quarter the zucchini lengthwise, then thinly slice with a knife or mandoline. Transfer to a colander set over a bowl and toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let drain 15 minutes.

Combine the zucchini, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, lime juice and half of the cilantro in a bowl. Set aside 1 hour.

Preheat a grill to medium high. Mix the cumin and coriander in a small bowl. Brush the fish all over with olive oil, then rub with the spice mixture and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill the fish until it is well marked and releases easily from the grill, about 4 minutes. Flip the fish and continue cooking until firm, 2 to 4 more minutes, depending on the thickness. Transfer to a platter.

Stir the remaining cilantro into the zucchini mixture and season with salt. Spoon over the fish

Grilled Pineapple with Nutella

Ingredients

2 pineapples, peeled, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and core removed

2/3 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2/3 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)

6 tablespoons whipping cream

Olive oil

3 tablespoons chopped toasted hazelnuts

Directions

Prepare the outdoor barbecue to medium-high heat. If you do not have a barbecue, you can use an indoor grill pan set to medium high heat. Lightly oil the grill. Grill the pineapple slices until heated through and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes per side. It's important to leave the pineapples on the grill, untouched so that you can create the grill marks.

While the pineapples are cooking, whisk the mascarpone and vanilla in a small bowl to blend. Set aside.

Combine the chocolate-hazelnut spread and cream in a small bowl and stir to combine. Place in a microwave on high for about 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds to blend well. Alternatively, you can combine the chocolate-hazelnut spread and cream in a small saucepan, set over low heat, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Heat until satiny smooth and easy to pour, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Transfer the pineapple slices to a large platter. Drizzle the warm chocolate-hazelnut sauce over.
