Fight The Great Depression with an Air Gun

 No question we are heading to that seventies show, with trump and the housing price overhang.  But let's have fun.

I got this for the cottage where I have drains that regularly clog.  I went to half force and it sounded like a gun shot that got everybody screaming.  It is an air gun for drains.

Now, I've used a lot of air guns in the old geophysics business.  We got excellent images in Lake Ontario that showed how high the seismic hazard is here.  All forgotten now.  The air gun compresses air and blows it with a high-speed valve.  It is an explosion.

Also, this would produce a neat air vortex for science class.  Probably can blow out a candle at 50 feet.  Get it before it is banned by lefties.

ps -- world's simplest potato cannon.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

 Nothing funnier than seeing a break-in on a thing with a patch for two years now.  I've been involved with a lot of computer centres in Canada, and the attitude, learned from MS, is to never patch.  That's because every single MS patch breaks more than it fixes.  Really, some obscure thing, vs all the high people complaining their kids can't play games on their corporate MS laptops.

That's why I think those umpteen billion passwords came from every system in the world running MS.  However, anybody running that crap never knows they've been hacked until somebody hits them in the head with a 2x4.  The article says the big security guys saw 'hints' in everybody's systems.  Ha.

So Mr Windows-fan, your system is running tickity-boo because the Chinese hackers are fixing it from the Russian hackers, or vicey versy.  However, you are in a doomer story to beat all leftie doomer stories.

World is cool to the idea of global warming

 

This is the world temperature anomaly plot.  Had there actually been physics in global warming, we would expect it to be all red.  But, it is mostly blue, with a few blobs of red.  To be diplomatic, we shall call this a 'blip'.  Any day now, the heat will come back.  You've got to have faith, brother.

NA is a nice swirly, stagnant mess.  More cold blobs fighting against having the Sun directly overhead.  Toronto is lucky to be at the boundary of hot and cold, so it gets rain.  

My tomatoes are magnificent, and the broccolis are trees.  I got a cheap Chinese water timer so the water bill doesn't exceed the air conditioning bill.  My soaker hose system is working great, and I'm going 4 hours at night.  

You've got to get this, or you will be watered out of house and home.

ps we will get the 'summers of my youth' when the Arctic blobs weaken and don't reach Sont.  Then we are talking endless days of infinite heat and no rain.  The outskirts will declare watering bans.
