what you want is Potassium iodide tablets.

Dr Duk – KI is the standard form. I’ve used enormous amounts of it for ferric titrations. So I suspect someone has just recrystallized it and turned it into a tablet.

I mentioned sodium iodide because potassium isn’t great in large amounts. However I suspect NaI is more difficult to crystallize, and the one thing we’ve learned in the last couple years is the pharma guys love the easiest option (not the healthiest one).

For anti-fallout medication KI should be fine. It’s not as if we have frequent nuclear wars. And if we have one I suspect potassium-related health issues will be the least of all concerns.

That would be ‘Sharps’. But who is being pedantic.

While I’m being a grumpy old lady, could I complain about the use of ‘spiral’, a noun which has been transformed into a verb meaning things are getting worse. Note that it is not a verb, and spirals can go up or down,

In ‘stories’ by TheirABC, spiralling is going on all the time. This new verb has them entranced. It is put into the mouths of others, like a barely literate footballer who, according to TheirABC was ‘spiralling’ yep, ‘spiralling’ would be the first word to come to his concussed mind.

All over TheirABC – single mums, indigenes, the disabled.People Who Orgasm With Rubber Alligators – let’s just hope that they don’t ‘spiral.’

‘yep’ Has become annoyingly common with people that should know better.

Unfortunately saw some AWFUL on the box while flicking. The ball handling skills are non-existent. The woeful commentator gleefully announced one of them was a superstar!

Quite so.

Re the liberal use of iodine…what happens to people who are allergic to iodine?

I had burns and blisters all over my back after it was doused in iodine preparatory to a procedure.

The thick heads amongst the sneerers are advertising their ignorance today.

It’s all over as they joke nervously about camps and claim all is back to normal.

Sick fucks….

Why do you assume that we’re currently living in a high inflation environment? If we were, then why are long bond rates remaining below the “inflation rate”?

Because the *true definition* of inflation is ‘an increase in the money supply’ (hence Friedmans ‘inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon’.

Rising prices is a *consequence* of inflation, NOT inflation itself. Indeed, over time prices should FALL because improvements in production, paying off of development costs etc mean the average price of goods should fall (in some markets, this is still the case – think computers and phones). By that metric, relatively low price rises or even flat prices is STILL a symptom of a rising money supply.

Since we went off the gold standard, and money became a debt not an asset, growth in the money supply overtime has been inevitable hence so too is rising prices – or at least prices higher than they would have been without money printing.

One other thing, money is not a store of value and hasn’t been considered that way since Nixon walked away from the gold standard. If you want to store value then get out of the currency and buy something!

Yes I know that, which is why most of my wealth is NOT stored in fiat currency, but rather in PMs, BTC etc. The problem is that even if you don’t *store* your wealth in our rapidly melting fiat currency, our wise rulers treat it as if you do. Thus, if you avoid the inflationary skim by storing your wealth in gold, land, shares or whatever, when you sell it to realise the fiat to spend on something else, it is priced artificially higher because the fiat has lost value in the meantime. The ‘profit’ then attracts a ‘capital gains tax’ when in fact the capital gain is illusory. This is how they recapture value from those who were wise enough to avoid the inflationary skim in the first place.

Death to traitors.
Death to mass murderers.
A quick trial and then out to the wall…..

Imagine the lack of common sense on show by people saying “Who’s going to do it?”
Who did it in the past?

Was it never done?
Did capital punishment never exist?

We must wonder why there is so much objection to it by the sneerers here.

We’ve had executioners before.
We can have them again.

Perfectly reasonable approach that has ol’ shitfabrains pissing his Kimbies.

Jeepers.

Someone’s pills are really kicking in this afternoon.

Nothing surer. Yep.

I think unverified “copies” of alleged posts from 2015 belong in another place.

Yep.

PS: We all know it was Spud who made trouble for Brian of Moorabbin.

Wrong.
Here’s what happened:
1. Brian contacted Toowoomba area Vietnam Veterans groups to give them the “news” that Spud wasn’t toeing the Official Version of what happened over there.
2. Word got back to The Spudster, and he asked Brian how he’d handle it if he [Spudster] gave Brian’s bosses [The Cops] a headsup that he was chatting online when he shoulda been booking motorists for not indicating.
3. Brian disappeared as a commenter shortly thereafter.

Open and shut case of Brian of Moorabbin stalking The Spudster, I would have thought?

Mark Twain, actually.

A man doing market research for Vaseline knocked on a door and was greeted by a young woman with three small children running around at her feet. He says “I’m doing some research for Vaseline”. Have you ever used the product?’ She says “Yes. My husband and I use it all the time”. The researcher then asks “And if you don’t mind me asking, what do you use it for?” “We use it for sex”. The researcher was a little taken back. “Usually people lie to me and say that they use it on a child’s bicycle chain or to help with a gate hinge. But, in fact, I know that most people do use it for sex. I admire you for your honesty. Since you’ve been frank so far, can you tell me exactly how you use it for sex?” The woman says “I don’t mind telling you at all… my husband and I put it on the door knob and it keeps the kids out”.

Your lawyer charges $50 an hour ex GST?

I am sure that was meant to be $550 p/h.

Be careful with Iodine.
Lugol’s Iodine can still be bought at the chemist, but they do show a fair bit of concern about the intended use and dosage.

I strongly suspect the Gidgee Bugs are a large component of the problem.
I’ve seen them at Julia Creek Hospital covering – and I mean covering – the entrance wall, ceiling and floors for ten meters toward the wards. Any amount of light will attract them. Even the emergency exit lights will attract them in their millions.
At night in Gidgee Season, all the lights have to be turned off and the nurses only use their torches at night and turn them off.
And if you want a real horror story, shine a torch out of a window. The beam won’t get through the layers of bugs in a seething mass of bugdom.
Fortunately, it only seems to be one out of three years and after heavy rain for a month or so.
Otherwise, a great place! 🙂

The Best Iodine Tablets for Nuclear Fallout Radiation

The real fraud was in the definition of ‘vaccinated’ – they classified you as unvaxxed until 14 DAYS AFTER THE SECOND SHOT – thus neatly transferring the bad outcomes from the vax (which mainly occurred within 1-3 days of it) into the ‘unvaxxed’ column.

It took real genius to think no one was going to notice that sleight of hand, but they certainly managed it!

It maybe Cathartic fantasising about linch mobs to those justifiably frustrated. But in the long term it only hurts you and others around you.
Also it distracts from what is possible.

avid Elliott to quit state politics. Labelled “divisive” by mostly left media. That would be because he’s slightly right of centre, which these days means (in left media speak) you’re probably a crypto-fascist.

On danger lurking, we had quite a different sort of scare today. At the Sloth Sanctuary they kindly offered some chopped mixed tropical fruit in little dishes and cold drinks. The young helpers were serving it up, but Hairy took one waiting that was ready to go. We both sat down and started eating. Suddenly he yelped and grasped at his mouth and spat out what looked like a watermelon seed. He was in sudden and very acute pain, something on the fruit had bitten him inside his mouth in two places.

I bent down, picked up the quite small expelled insect, put it on a tissue and took it to the girls serving. It was ant-like but had wings with six legs. So an insect not a spider. They thought it might have been a species of bee and took it to the zoologist for an ID, because if a bee we were in trouble as Hairy is highly allergic to bee stings. Meanwhile poor ole Hairy’s lower face is swelling and a woman zoologist comes racing in with a strong anti-histamine tablet. I am getting ready to seek out medical aid, an epi-pen or something, also looking round for a likely straw to keep his airways open in the worst case for CPR. The diagnosis came back as ant not bee, and we all breathed a sigh of relief- except for my poor darling who was still agonised with consolidating lumps palpable in his mouth on both sides.

It took him another hour in the bus for the pain to subside and the swelling to start going down.

Just another day in the jungle, I say to cheer him up, for we had been enjoying the monkeys and racoon-like creatures and the Toucons a great deal too. For a while he looked so grey and ill and swollen and quiet, and knowing him well, I knew he’d been as worried about himself as I had been about him. He’s completely recovered now, just a bit tender in the mouth. I’ve offered some Panadol but he’s insisting on taking alcohol for any remnant pain. 🙂

Denialism can have many effects.
We see one quite clearly today.
I am a fifty something person who’s life hasn’t been the success I had hoped according to Skidmark.

But I can absolutely agree because I am not in denial.

Am I supposed to pretend the last two and a half years didn’t happen?
That would be denialism.
Hard to play gigs when you have closed venues.
Hard to play gigs once they open yet only the nazi pass holders can go in.
Hard to go on a plane to do tour work when you won’t get a test, wear a mask or comply with any of the bullshit.
Hard to even drive the school bus for the retarded kids for the same reason.
So now I drive a truck bringing in sugar cane, and have started a successful live music jam session.

Would Sancho scoff at a soldier drafted into the army and standing in a trench about to go over the top and sneer….his life hasn’t been the raging success it might have been?

Of course my life hasn’t gone the way I planned it.
It also hasn’t been as successful as it could have been.
Tyrannical government, not failure on my part, saw to that.

BUT……Nobody’s has been as the way they planned it prior to 2020.
Or the success it might have been….and I realise I’m talking to a lot of retirees who really think they weren’t effected that much.
But you were still massively effected.
That observation is sane and the truth.

And whatever happens, if doing the right thing is success, than I’m the very successful and very happy.
A beautiful young woman with two young kids came up to me and thanked me for being strong about not being jabbed, as she nearly fell to the pressure, but claims I helped her be strong and not submit.
To me, that’s true success.
That’s everything.

Rick had a Sharp rifle in the shop, was dead accurate for big distances, at least 800 yards. It was probably from the 1860s.

As a long range shooter (out to the mile) I’m calling BS on the ‘dead accurate at 800yd’ claim: a Sharps rifle fires a .52 inch soft lead slug at 1200fps. Assuming a generous BC o.300 and inputting that in my Ballistic Calc reveals:

1) time to target ~ 2.7 seconds – this means, as the bullet reaches the target, it is dropping at 27m/s. Ie if it is only 2% slower than calculated in flight (which would be well within the range of variability), the bullet will have dropped another 5 feet and thus easily miss the target. Similarly if it were 2% faster, it will be 5ft high.
2) drop at target ~ 1100 inches (nearly 100 feet) – if you think you could dial that using primitive iron sights, you haven’t tried long range shooting with iron sights (I have)
3) range estimation is critical (and how are you going to do that in the later 1800s? – if your target was actually at 750 yards, not 800, your shot will be 60 feet high, if it is 850 yards, your shot will be 140 ft low.
4) finally, add in variable wind – if you assume no wind, but it is actually 5mph (which is quite light, especially given the bullet is going to rise over a hundred feet in the air on the way to the target) , your bullet will end up nearly 5 ft wide of your aim point.

At best, any rifle with iron sights at 800yds is an area weapon, not a sniper rifle.

If you think you can

I’ve met Alex Antic* and discussed this. He knows whats going on and is one of the few voices speaking up, but he naively feels the only solution is for grass roots members to ‘take back’ the Liberal Party and reform it. I told him, sadly, that after their craven failure to protect the citizens over the last 2 years, I would NEVER trust them again and he needed to resign and join a freedom friendly party.

* at least he agreed to meet me, unlike my State MP, Josh Teague (then Liberal Attorney General) who sent the police around instead.

If we were, then why are long bond rates remaining below the “inflation rate”?

It depends on the bond but most CB’s are selling their bonds – QT. Attempting to reduce their balance sheets as IR’s (which they control) rise, so they try to ease pressure on their Govt IR expenses. (Now over 12% of the USG expenses budget) .Then they use the proceeds to buy their currencies to stabilize them against a stronger USD to help them pay off their USD debts. Yes, a fkn crazy loop.
