Event Update For 2018-02-08





The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.



A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

The truck then continued before crashing into a barrier. The driver of the rig, a 56-year-old man, could not be revived and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating the cause, including whether the truck driver suffered from a medical incident prior to the crash."

  1. Besides all this, "things" are heating up in Syria again - the U.S. bombed the Russians and the Syrians shot down an Israeli jet.

    As to your last story, the Koreans [and probably many more cultures in Asia and maybe elsewhere] acknowledge that they eat dog meat and aren't upset about it. We eat cows regularly and they're about the most docile creatures on the planet, make great pets and are caring and conscious beings, so we should probably take our disdain at "eating pets" down a notch or two.
    Dogs are easier to raise, don't require as much feed and space, and would be a good food source for inner cities when the food shortages hit. Just sayin'.

  2. Dogs seem a little irrational to eat to me. They're carnivores, so they need meat, or at least meat-like protein. So feeding animals meat to raise them for meat? Why not just eat the meat you were feeding the dogs? Cows, on the other hand, eat grass, so you're converting grass to meat/protein by eating cows. (But they're pretty hostile about eating cows in India - seen people there attack trucks just on the suspicion that the truck was hauling cows.) It's all pretty much cultural, what people eat though, of course.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Also, I know some people say dogs are omnivores, but they're not very good at eating grains. They're as good at it as they are because they've evolved alongside us for thousands of years, but still, it's not their ideal diet. Here's the case for dogs being carnivores:

    http://www.vetstreet.com/our-pet-experts/are-dogs-carnivores-heres-what-new-research-says

    From that, it seems like they're carnivores with slight adaptation that allows eating grain in a pinch, but that's not their ideal diet. So, raising dogs for meat doesn't seem like it makes a lot of sense, since they're more inefficient at digesting grains than herbivores, and feeding them meat to produce meat is also inefficient. Of course, some people probably just like the taste, and that's the cultural factor, even if they have to be fed way more grain per pound of dog meat than a cow would require.

  4. Yeah, I couldn't do it, but I feel the same way about eating insects. It may be that we're so food-secure that we can afford to be picky.

    The Marines Are Building Robotic War Balls
    http://www.defenseone.com/technology/2015/02/marines-are-building-robotic-war-balls/105258

    A research team from Stamford, Conn. has developed an amphibious drone that they are currently testing with the Marines. The GuardBot is a robot ball that swims over water at about 4 miles per hour and then rolls along the beach, at as much as a 30-degree incline and 20 miles per hour.

    It uses a nine-axis stabilization, “pendulum motion” propulsion system, which moves the bot forward by shifting the center of gravity back and forth and a variety of steering algorithms.

    It took creator Peter Muhlrad some seven years to develop, but now that it’s complete Muhlrad says it can be rapidly produced in various sizes. Company documents suggest it can be scaled down to units as small as 10 cm and as large as nine feet. The company is planning to develop a prototype that’s 6 feet in diameter.
