25 Mistakes In Food Storage

Good article on things not to do when storing food.

I learned a lot of this stuff the hard way.

The dangers of mice and rats is always underestimated. They are very clever, resourceful animals who can eventually chew through almost anything not made of glass.

Adieu Kwanstainia

The country was as good as dead the instant they shot John F. Kennedy. It has been nothing but downhill ever since. This is what little it took to cower them all.

There is no future where America survives. All futures end with America gone. As long as the truth remains forbidden there can be no solutions to anything.

The Kwanstain has been defunct a long time. Some people are only getting it now. It takes a nation a long time to dry rot out and collapse. It was a great country once but it has only been a husk for decades.

Nobody is bothering to maintain it. There is nothing left in Kwanstainia you could give away. Kwanzanians believe somehow everything is just going to fix itself. With an average IQ of 97, they are not going to solve their own problems so belief in a magical miracle force that will fix it all permeates the empty vacuum where the brains used to be on Americans.

The people trying to tell others that they should act now are the sorts of idiots who wait until all the lifeboats are away before deciding there may be a problem with the ship.

After hearing what they have done to their babies, perhaps it is better they go the same way as Carthage and vanish off the earth. Too much evil is not something that should be salvaged. The Kwa has done too much evil on the planet. Time for it to go. The common man will go back into his chains like a pig going back to his slop in the street. You can't change human nature. Man has no better angels and once all his virtues are gone he does not retain the virtue that would allow him to recover them.

Ditched ASN as an IPC Message Format

My early experiments with ASN were encouraging. I wrote a lot of support routines which then gave me the confidence to compile more complex message formats.

Once I got away from simple fixed length structures I immediately ran into problems. The documentation for the open source ASN compiler is nearly non-existent. The memory management is appallingly arbitrary and does not easily avail itself of fixed heap schemes like are often used to create stable embedded applications. After a couple weeks fiddling with it I ditched it and switched to JSON again. Less binary efficient but much easier to work with. I had been using JSON for over a year before I tried to get fancy and implement ASN message schemas. It was a mistake, I could not get it to work reliably without leaving fragments on the heap and corrupting stacks sometimes. The problem with ambitiousness is that it makes you shoot too high before you know how solid your model is.

I have always known it would work in JSON and have encountered no problems coding the message formats up with it. I have the current schema working end-to-end for hardware to communicate over the IPC which is implemented on all platforms as mailslots. The basic format of vanilla daemons which send a descriptive manifest of all their properties and capabilities seems to be working pretty well. At home I have finished off an end-to-end communication transfer and it turns out mailslots can issue acknowledge signals and error messages as well as any other IPC mechanism. So there is some assurance for example that if you issue a message to execute a command on a device or to write a value that you will get a receipt coming back from the daemon telling you mission accomplished or including an error message to help you figure out why it didn't succeed. This could be critical in a system where you do something like turn on a generator. You need a receipt from the daemon verifying the generator is now on and running. Vault-OS does not require the ironclad state transfers that are needed in airplane hardware but it does need to be reliable.

Although the Vault-OS server does not need a visual display to run the daemons could benefit greatly from all having some kind of common UI library to use for configuration and monitoring in a separate process. Right now I am imagining something similar to GTK-Server. X-Forms are now available for GTK as well.

CO2 Is An Atmospheric Coolant

It helps to conduct heat through the water mantle and into outer space.

We've said it a dozen times on Vault-Co but here it is again from NASA.

CO2 does not provide any significant effect on climate whatsoever even at very high concentrations, unlike the historic lows we are in now. Cosmic radiation increases cloud cover at the same time the Sun goes dormant. This phenomenon, almost certainly somehow connected to our passage through the Oort Cloud, is what sets the clock of the climate over the eons.

This 12,000 year Holocene is at an end. It is more accurately called the Anthropocene because Homo Sapiens can't survive outside it. He's just not tough enough. The historians will record that he could not even get it right at the end of his own reign and was expecting global warming. Saps, the critter that failed at failing.

A chart of warming cycles from the EPA itself going back 800,000 years.
Increases in CO2 always trail after increases in heat by tens of thousands of years.
Spikes in CO2 always precede roller coaster drops in temperature.
Heat cycles are a brief transient affair. Cold is the normal condition for earth.

The Neolithic revolution was no such thing. It was a warmer climate combined with the expeditious use of the Neanderthal slave caste to do all the technical work and problem solving. When you know the truth, it becomes obvious that Homo Sapiens is not good at anything and responsible for nothing other than enjoying screaming and fighting and then rioting afterwards. It is behaviour that is deeply burned into his genome. It is the only thing that he finds hormonally rewarding. Outside of those three he is nearly useless for anything else. Trust the Neanderthals when you need a job done right. For everything else, I guess Saps needs a make-work vocation of some sort to make him feel relevant where he pretends to do stuff. Kind of like those work camps where they teach retarded children to stuff rags into bags. So Saps dominates professions until they realise they can't sell meetings and birthday breakfast celebrations and are nearly out of money. At that point they go hire a Neanderthal to do the work they were expected to do over the last ten years and keep the company solvent a little longer. It is at this point that Dr. Laurence J. Peter said that permanent staff insist on sending that person packing. Five thousand companies tracked over five years and I can summarise the entire book for you so you don't have to read it. Dr. Peter said that the Neanderthals do everything. Anything else is only theatrical or appearances. The Neanderthal secretly carries the entire Sapiens society on his stout back and almost no one ever figures it out until he or she is no longer available.

For this reason, always hire people who have the exact opposite qualities that everyone else looks for if you want to get it right. When I am in charge of hiring I always look for high IQ, socially awkward neurotics with low self-esteem and insomnia. My ability to hire the very best candidates missed by everyone else is uncanny, I have scored big so many times now you have to wonder why the nation just doesn't put me in charge of everything since the meritocracy is the only social organization that works, period.

I have noticed that the already scarcely reliable Wikipedia has shorter entries for the most critical thinkers of the previous century week to week. Somebody is trimming them until they can be eliminated altogether. On the other hand, the Kardashian page just keeps getting bigger.

Vastly Improved DIY Geophone Sensors

This is a link to a .PDF file with a field tested, verified design using any old magnetic speaker.

A couple years back we linked to a design using the same principle but much cruder than this and without any sensitivity testing by the author.

One of these mounted with a solar panel to power it and a fiber optic connection would make for a brilliant EMP proof intrusion sensor on your grounds. In addition you could use it to monitor ground shock of any kind.

I purchased no less than four PC/104 boards with 42 pin digital switches for the purpose of building grids of these sensors that can actually locate an intruder precisely using triangulation between posts. My ambition was to build a detection grid for Vault-OS that nothing anywhere could ever penetrate unless it could float without touching the ground. I did some crude experiments with these up in Queensland but I was hoping for a better geosensor design and here it is.

The great thing about this design is maintainability. You may not be able to replace an expensive custom geophone sensor after the apocalypse but you can always find an old speaker for certain no matter how many you need to fix.

There Is Nothing The Left Hates More Than Religion

... unless the priest is preaching radical communist ideology.

Baby ass can breathe easy for one day today as this fraud is occupied at the White House. Back to buggery in all its resplendent forms for the rest of this week. Nobody knows God's will better than the head of a child sex racketeering empire.

Power Down Procedures for Koch Brother's Mandroid Unit

Scott Walker realizes nobody cares, least of all him.

We blogged when they threw this animatronic into the race with great fanfare like he was somebody significant so we thought we owed it to him to blog again when he dropped out a short while later.

Keep trying bros. Next one needs more hair product.

Trust Doctors

... because they have the power of scienmagistics!

If a serial killer killed thousands of people he'd be a monster. These guys just send out a form letter offering free blood testing. Sorry, bro, my bad. I completely skipped all known medical procedure regarding sterilization of our instruments. Everybody makes mistakes, lets move past this.

This might be a good time to tell you about some of my other mistakes and little fibs, bro.
