At the time that phrase was popular, and used seriously, I
(figuratively of course) grabbed my wallet and backed up against a
sturdy wall whenever I heard it. Yep, they not only wanted your money,
but also wanted to "bend you over" too.

Later it was for the polar bears.

Not sure what's the latest.

yeah. Embarrassingly polar bears are in greater numbers now than ever 
recorded before.

In the UK there are more mature trees than there ever have been since 
the end of 'ships of oak', so much so that a lot of diseases that had 
been in abeyance are ripping through them, Same with people :-)

But I do have two 20 year old elm trees doing well, after all mature 
ones and even young ones were wiped out back in the 70s

But cutting down rain forests to make space to plant crops for 
'renewable energy' is profitable isn't it?

Here they cut them down to plant windmills. So they can slice birds in 
half and explode bat lungs.

Never  mind. I am sure they *mean well*. And that's what counts isn't  it?

Yes they did! The problem is that the medical professionals involved
in the testing didn't have to report all the side effects at the
time... and they didn't. Even before any tests in humans the
teratogenic effects of Thalidomide were seen in animal testing. But
only in some species and not others.

Would you want your wife or daughter of child bearing age, with a
likelyhood of becoming pregnant, to use a drug that caused serious
fetal deformity in say rats, but not hamsters? Does it make a
difference in your answer that the problem was with taking the drug
during the first 3-4 weeks of pregnancy when few know for sure that
they're pregnant and so won't know to stop taking it in time to
prevent defects?

Life is risky, but it doesn't need to be that much of a risk for yet
another drug that did the same thing as many other drugs available at
the time. Not to mention that use to prevent morning sickness was an
"off label" use.

Well I didn't know that and wont argue that point. I do know that Big 
Pharma likes to sell expensive drugs and is somewhat economical with the 
truth in so doing.

Just as Boeing likes to sell aeroplanes.
Are we seeing a 'pickle fork ' crash....(google it) in Indonesia?

The point is that regulators are always one step behind, and that's how 
quality management goes., You don't fix problems that haven't occurred.

Well that is of course a value judgement. In terms of COVID 19, we have 
a proven lethal virus, and an unproven but definitely far less 
immediately lethal vaccine.

We have national and global economic crises caused by the reaction to 
that virus.

Even if the vaccine proves ineffective, there is, as I have said enough 
to bore you, the problem of public *perception*. Politically people vote 
their *understanding*, not any objective 'reality' - simply because they 
have no idea. And at this point in time there is a round, as Stephen Fry 
is wont to say of 'General Ignorance'

I dont know what et right answer is, I do know that if I were in a 
position of authority I would probably be doing exactly what TPTB are 
doing, locking down when the death rate goes up, and hoping that they 
have a reasonably effective vaccine, banging it in as many arms as 
possible and pushing the boundaries of a free society to do do, in the 
hope - and it will be only a hope - that this gets the world back to 
work, and not economic meltdown and or a global pandemic that clears 
2/3rds or more of its population.

And maintaining a false face of total optimism, because pessimism will 
just make it worse.

Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 
twenty-first century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a

on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer

contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.

So Canada and some European countries thought, but it was NOT approved
by the FDA. The battle to reject Thalidomide along with the later
birth of children with severe birth defects lead to vastly tighter FDA
standards for approval of all drugs.

The really important news about Chernobyl  was that the predictions 
using LNT were in excess of 150,000 cancers across Ukraine and Eastern 
Europe. In fact only 60 people died and there were only 3000 preventable 
(if they had been given iodine pills) and curable thyroid cancers right 
there in Pripyat. .

More people are dying *every day* from Covid 19.

No one died from radiation at all, nor will. The company decided not to 
defend being sued by someone who got cancer's relatives, that's all.
IIRC only one person died on site from a heart attack
About 20 people died as a result if the pointless evacuation.

The Italian embassy was recalled from Tokyo to Rome, where background 
radiation was *ten times higher*.

Not sure about the chip implant, and I think they are actually very 
scared about this virus.

I never trust what a government says,I watch what they do. They haven't 
stopped flying to climate conferences or sold their beachside houses or 
gone in for a crash program of nuclear power - they know that renewable 
energy is profitable crap and doesn't work to reduce emissions, and they 
are not worried. So climate change isn't an emergency, its a political 
power and profit opportunity.  Same for electric cars,  but they are 
wearing masks and isolating themselves, so I think this one is real.

More would be nice, but this is not the time and place,

I have always thought that if everybody had a Geiger counter on their 
smart phone, they would be a lot less scared of radiation.

There is already a company trying to market such a chip so you need no purse or card
just walk past the gate of the supermarket....
On chip polymerase test in your blood could easily detect you being 'infected'
and refused access or triggering the crocodile trapdoors in each street
hey I am not working for 'ollywood, but you guys are free to use this idea in the next sci fi movie.

Climate change is well known and why, does not depend on CO2 or human activity _at_all_:
 http://old.world-mysteries.com/alignments/mpl_al3b.htm
  scroll down to
   Milankovich Cycles
All those orbital effects add up, and anybody who can add some sine waves
can see when and how the earth climate will change, scroll down all the way for the
cool and warm periods.
The whole snake oil started IIRC with Al Gore and polar bears.
The above website was their main site it was replaced and they renamed this one old.world....
As the planet orbits are related, so is climate change on Mars, where [apart for Al Gore?] no humans have a cottage:
 https://twitter.com/HiRISE/status/1223260442971164672
  shows current ice melting and things collapsing due to warming on mars (2 pictures in sequence, works in Chrome on raspi4).

That thing I build is still big, but it does fit in a pocket, I have carried
it around in my pocket while it was logging location and radiation levels
in the super market to see if the mushrooms and other food imported from the eastern part of Europe were radioactive, 
those were not.

Japan is going to release the stored radioactive water from that accident in the sea:

You might like this site: http://www.kiddofspeed.com/

Its owned by a Ukrainian girl with a nuclear physicist father and a big 
motorbike, who likes riding it in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. She takes 
interesting photos.

So far Chernobyl was the worst, followed by Kystym and Windscale. 
Apart from them, there have been another 7 where casualties where oll in 
single digits and external contamination was minimal.

Yes I have thought about radon,
no real basement here, build quite a while ago, could be.
There is some granite countertop in the kitchen on the other side of the wall
of where the radiation counter is, will go and have a count there later.
 https://www.epa.gov/radiation/granite-countertops-and-radiation
Or maybe buy a real radon meter, quite expensive, 100$ or so on Alieepress, about twice as much locally.

	Any device typically allowed on a space mission has to undergo rigorous

(can't have it out-gassing corrosive vapors under reduced air pressure) and

I did read recently that they've been using Plain Old laptops on ISS with 
no radiation-related problems - but of course that is inside the Earth's 
magnetic field, so there's a fair amount of shielding from ionised 
particles.

Indeed, I know, but have you seen the SpaceX pictures of their big spacecraft traveling to mars
with passengers in it using their laptops?
I have commented on that in a youtube video long time ago.
Laptops would not last very long...
Neither would the Tesla car's electronics Musk sent to deep space...
OK he is selling, needs some salt....

	Artist's impressions, completely meaningless.

	It wasn't supposed to, it was just a prettier form of scrap steel
than is usually used as a test load. Musk is a showman.

	Much salt.
