    Jimmy Fallon singing about how XBB.1.5 is the best Covid variant yet

    He’s right though, it’s the best name for a new variant. XBB.1.5, it sounds like the latest jet fighter or high performance street racer.

    If you were going to get the dreaded plague, wouldn’t you want to say it’s the XBB.1.5 rather than the boring alpha, delta and omicron varieties.

    Girls can do anything – (Darwin awards finalist)
    19 year old Emily Sotelo died of exposure on Mt. Lafayette, NH last month. An avid hiker, she was trying to summit all 48 peaks over 4000 ft by her birthday. It seems that she had only gotten into hiking a few years ago, and had no experience with winter hiking. Here is a (partial) list of survival gear that she did not have:
    Hiking boots (she wore “off road” sneakers)
    Map
    Compass
    Matches
    Flashlight or headlamp
    Winter coat (she had a light jacket)

    Similar to the social movement Movember, which encourages men to grow mustaches in November to raise awareness of men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men’s suicide, Januhairy is an annual event targeted to women. Launched by Laura Jackson back in 2018 and started as an experiment for women to be sponsored to grow out their body hair for a month, Januhairy aims to promote body positivity and acceptance of body hair on women.

    So it’s not similar then.

    Steve, sea water does have healing properties for the skin. It is also absorbed by the skin into the body.

    It is great if one is able to get out to the ocean for a soak, especially now in the summer. That is the best option. But if someone lives a great distance away or can’t get there, the alternative is soaking in salt water in your bathtub.

    There is a calculation about the water:salt ratio to achieve the same salinity as the sea. There are two salts that are helpful for the bath soaks: Sea Salt and Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulphate). I used to buy salts in bulk some years ago.

    In 2021, Cardinal Pell – who died age 81 on Tuesday – opened up about what he hated the most during his time in prison during an interview with the BBC.

    When asked about his experience while imprisoned in Australia, the former third in charge of the Vatican, said it was the “humiliating” strip searches he hated the most.

    “Jail is undignified, you’re at the bottom of the pit, you’re humiliated, but by and large I was treated decently,” he said.

    “The worst single thing I think were the strip searches, the brief humiliating, the ignominy of it is probably the worst of it.

    “I wasn’t too uncomfortable, a firm base for a bed, a hot shower and that’s very important to Australians, the food, there was too much of it.”

    It is reported that Cardinal Pell had a heart attack following hip replacement surgery – it seems that he was still in hospital from the operation.

    Sadly, this is not uncommon with elderly patients. He had a dicky ticker before he went in. The stress of the anaesthetic and the operation was just too much for him.

    While I am well aware of the possible adverse effects of the so-called ‘vaccines’, it is distasteful to attribute every death of someone who had it to that without proof. In this case, it is quite likely that it was simply a not uncommon post operative event in elderly patients with co-morbidities.

    Anyway, vale to the Cardinal, a brave and steadfast pillar of his Church.

    The bold statement did not escape the attention of Russia’s first deputy permanent representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy, who delved into Kuleba’s thread to mock his rallying call and suggest that Kiev had different goals in mind.

    Is the OpenAI Chatbot meant to be a helper, spy or brain washer?

    Microsoft is looking at OpenAI’s GPT for Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint

    Microsoft has reportedly been using OpenAI’s GPT technology to improve Outlook search results so users can find what they’re looking for without having to search using keywords in emails. Microsoft is also said to have looked at how these AI models could suggest replies to emails or recommend document changes to improve Word users’ writing

    The way it seems to work, in its current form, is that you probably have to frame your questions to suit the answers you want. The software coders are probably rewriting algorithms since answers like this will not be suitable for the NWO.

    OpenAI chatbot’s answers on abortion leave pro-life dad stunned

    I was at first disappointed when the chatbot tried to give a neutral answer to the question “when does human life begin?” It stated that the “exact moment when human life begins is a matter of debate and has been the subject of much controversy and legal discussion.” It’s like I was listening to Dr. Phil all over again ……

    So, it became apparent to me that the programmers had created the algorithm running the AI bot to provide answers on this topic reflecting their own biases. And, that’s when I decided to tweak my question. Because arriving at the right answer means asking the right question.

    The problem with OpenAI Chatbots when answering “controversial” questions is that most of the presumably higher ranked information will be derived from “woke” institutions & ‘authorities’. For example, for questions related to C19 vaxes, I bet releases from Dr Fauci, the CDC & the WHO are weighted far higher than, say, information from Drs Malone, Bhattacharya or McCulloch. Consequently, unless questions are phrased particularly carefully, whatever is produced will closely adhere to the party line.

    The contrast between AI and human intelligence will be clear, if people apply intelligence (if they possess it).

    If a Person A is sitting before the television and the box says:
    Masks protect lives. Do the right thing. Wear a mask. Protect yourself and protect grandma.
    Then, Person A dutifully wears a mask and repeats to the rest of the world what he/she heard on the telly.

    Person B also hears the same mantra about masks. But instead of accepting it, checks it out and discovers contrasting messages. Masks good. Masks bad. After looking through available info on the subject, processing it and critically analysing it, arrives at conclusion: Masks are bad. Person B then shares that decision with others.

    Person B is also repeating what someone else said. But has applied intelligent thinking before arriving at a conclusion. Maybe, in six months, someone will invent a mask where you can breathe in fresh air and breathe out impurities, and the mask only blocks out virus air. In that case, Person B reviews the new info and may now say: Some masks are good.
