    Been lurking BB. I’m also at the tail end of interstate stuff for a couple of months to tidy some family affairs up.

    I haven’t got time to post on multiple blogs at the moment. Hopefully I might be freed up a little more in a couple of weeks or so.

    For the record, I will note that David Warner remains a flog of the highest order.

    IVM and HCQ are antivirals, zinc ionophores, immunomodulatory

    Azithromycin and Doxycycline are antibacterial, immunomodulatory

    Vit D is antiviral, immunomodulatory

    Imagine a world where Early Treatment was given

    Typical. I can think of many rude words I could use about GFM. They haven’t learned a thing since the Folau fiasco.

    Bruce of Newc – from what I understand, the GFM funding is still fluent. Convoy to Ottawa 2022 seems to be of the view that their Lawyers in consultation with GFM re. establishing the bona fides of the truckers – who had to register. All may not be lost.

    On FlashCat, I can only speculate. It’s been around six months since the site was acquired and set up, just like this one. There may be a factor there. Or just a simple glitch – they have been known to happen.

    I wouldn’t be having a meltdown just yet. Dover has commented elsewhere, so he isn’t a victim of any hanky panky. 😀

    The hamsters might just need a spell.

    Hi BB! I’ve mostly been pottering about on Posh Cat, and sometimes on Currency Lad’s fine blog.

    Have just been rereading The Great Combat, by Ivan Southall, which I mentioned on Dover’s yesterday. Then checked – the story is real, since here’s a photo from the AWM of Sqn Ldr Col Walker DSO, of Sunderland flying boat N for Nellie of 461 Sqn RAAF. He and his guys somehow fought off eight Ju-88s, shooting down at least three. The AWM has the actual mission report which you can see here (Sqn Walker had to explain why he lost his aircraft, RAF bureaucrats want to know this in case they feel a need to dock the pilot’s pay). The Germans thereafter thought Sunderlands were a sort of flying tank.

    More from Canada:

    ‘Freedom’ truckers may form world’s longest convoy

    According to Guinness World Records, the longest truck convoy ever recorded was 7.5 km long, in Egypt in 2020.

    The Freedom Convoy heading from British Columbia to Ottawa is said to be considerably longer.

    “It’s 70 km long,” said Benjamin Dichter, spokesman for the Freedom Convoy 2022. “I have seen footage from an airplane. It’s impressive.”

    By Wednesday, truckers hope to have taken their protest through to Manitoba and will make it to southern Ontario on Friday.

    Plans call for the convoy to arrive in Ottawa on Saturday for a protest.

    If it gets there on time — and if the convoy holds together as it has in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan — it could be 10 times larger than the world record.

    Eyrie – Probably not since the thought was they were after Churchill. They’d shot down a DC-3 the previous day in the same area, in which actor Leslie Howard was travelling. If the Germans had intel that they had a chance to get Churchill they’d send the best guys in that area.

    The Luftwaffe wasn’t known for incompetence so what went wrong?
    8 heavy fighters can’t finish off one 4 engined flying boat? The Sunderland only had .303 machine guns IIRC and if the Ju-88’s were heavy fighters they had 20mm cannon.

    Could someone let CL know that according to Microsoft Edge his site has been reported as unsafe. That doesn’t happen on the home page, only when I click to a post.

    This site has been reported as unsafe
    Hosted by thecurrencylad.com
    Microsoft recommends you don’t continue to this site. It has been reported to Microsoft for containing misleading content that could lead you to lose personal info, financial data, and even money.

    Chrome doesn’t report any issues and I’m not receiving any warnings from antivirus so I think some asshole has reported the site.

    YouTube Permanently Bans Dan Bongino

    Earlier in January, Bongino said his YouTube account had been temporarily suspended and demonetized for 30 days. His suspended channel had nearly 900,000 subscribers.

    Bongino, who also hosts programs on Fox News and Fox Nation, has increasingly shifted his focus to the free speech video platform Rumble. On Wednesday, the Bongino Report noted his Rumble account has topped two million subscribers, more than twice the number of subscribers he had reached on YouTube.

    Lukewarmers give me the sh!ts.

    CO2 absorbs outgoing longwave infrared radiation (heat) as photons at 14.8 microns frequency (Planck’s Law).

    The temperature of absorption at 14.8 microns is -80 degrees Celsius (Wien’s Displacement Law).

    Minus 80 degrees Celsius is 95 degrees lower than average surface temperature.

    The Second Law of Thermodynamics proves heat doesn’t flow from cold zones to hotter zones.

    CO2 cannot “trap heat.” It merely delays outgoing infrared photons momentarily so high up in the atmosphere it’s irrelevant.

    Atmospheric CO2 is contingent upon seawater temperature (Henry’s Law).

    Only the sun has the energy to heat 1.335 billion cubic kilometres of water.

    To control Earth’s climate, you must control the sun.

    They may give you the shits but on balance they are most likely right and hopefully if they are it’s not a given the costs and benefits of a 2 degs warmer world i negative. In fact, it’s likely to be a positive.

    Just recently, it was forecast that the Sahara is shrinking as more flora is creeping in. The reason given is global warming. If this is right it’s actually a fantastic news because it will also mean much reduced hurricane activity in the north and mid Atlantic.

    There’s actually one sport where sheilas rule and that’s boxing or UFC. There’s always a knockout and knockouts are fun to watch.

    JC, “on balance” has no place in physics – that’s just the “appeal to authority” logical fallacy.
