Ancient Apocalypse: My Humble Feeling Over The Netflix Show

 Graham Hancock produced the show....roughly six episodes.

He examines various cultures that lived, and then disappeared....leaving various mystery structures.

So to lay out his opinion.....he believes as the Younger Dryes period (12,900 years ago) started up....that whole bunch of cultures went 'belly-up' (likely a meteor hit).  These cultures....if you measured up their use of technology.....were probably at the 1890s level of existence.  

In his scenario....only a limited number of this group survived, and they went out into the hunter-gatherer world....providing x-amount of their knowledge. 

Archelogy today?  They can't really stamp his version correct, and they have a fair number of empty holes....where their 'story' can't fit correctly.

My advice, if you can find the show....watch it.  I'm not saying he has a perfect fix for the story he tells, but there's a lot of stuff which really can't be explained.  

Observations

 1.  CNN came out and said that these rumors of them moving to the 'center' on political chatter were all BS.

I'm certainly glad of that....it'll help to financially get them deeper into a pit where some Mexican cartel organization can buy them for nickels and dimes.

2.  So far, with these pipe-bombs on the 6th of January of 2021.....the FBI has done mostly nothing.  This past week, they admitted zero interest.  Why?  No one says much.

3.  NYC appears close to approving a law that says you (as a landlord) can do a background check on a potential renter....to find if they had a criminal record.

What it'll trigger?  One of two things: (1) Large segment of population with such records are going to be flushed into leaving NYC, or (2) Large segment of population with criminal records getting alternate IDs (claiming migrant status out of Honduras or such).

4.  The odds of a civil confrontation in China?  

Based on the Covid 'rules', one can see a lot of criticism going on, and lower production of exportable items.

It begs the question if a conflict occurs.....just how long can the civilized world operate....without Chinese products? 

Racist Stuff?

 

I sat and read through this story here in the AM. 

Some science to this, but in reality....messing around with DST.....dumps crap on virtually everyone....NOT just blacks.

If you asked a hundred people about this.....probably toward 90-percent would say to dump it and just go back to the way it was originally.

The fact that CNN tried to say DST is racist?  Well....it's one of the dozen problems they have in general....trying to politize things on a continual basis. 

Comparison

 I hate using this graphic, because it's missing a lot of details.

But I am reminded of my one experience trying Chef Boyardee spaghetti and meatballs....hoping it would turn out OK. 

It was crap and after two minutes....I gave up and dumped it down the toilet. 

Maybe by next year....I'll feel that way also about the Biden years....that it was a total waste and not something to really remember.  

Three Essential Talents For Managers

 After a military career, a decade in contractor work, and 3.5 years in Pentagon work....I came to a number of lessons learned on supervising an office.  There are three essential talents you need....if you want a happy team.

1.  Ability to delegate.

If you don't feel enough trust within your group to delegate a fair amount of the work, then you will be working fifty-plus man-hours each week, and burn yourself out in six months.  

2.  Having a decent amount of intuition. 

If you are passed some task, and it looks like 80-percent crap....then it probably is crap, and you need to dump it.

If your organization is headed to some leadership debacle, and you can see various signs of this....either rectify the situation, or leave as quickly as possible.

3.  Finally, having a sense of humor and seeing positives always in some manner....brings confidence to the team when chaos confronts them.

This is often not something that you can train for or develop.....either you have it or you don't. 

Things That Don't Make Sense To Me Today

 1.  Family-friendly drag shows.  It's like talking about family-friendly stripper shows, or family-friendly bull-fights, or family-friendly swinger parties.

2.  Probably one-third of American society is today intolerant, and it's cranked up to the turbo level.....almost daily.

3.  Dog yogurt is a product marketed and sold for around $3.  How did dogs survive for centuries....without it?

4.  People seem to be graduating from high school.....who appear to be just as bright as  they were in the 8th grade.  

5.  How horrific will it be....if Maricopa County, Arizona....has to redo their entire election?  Will people be throwing themselves off their step-ladders, or hurling themselves against the pavement of their driveway?

6.  Oddly enough, the minute that someone utters that 'so-and-so' is a 'math-wiz'.....my BS-meter is probably pegging '7' automatically unless the kid/adult can give me a simple 10-word explanation for square root.

7.  When I see 'Jesus-status' handed to some political figure....I'm likely in a state of disbelief.  In 1980, this problem never came up.

8.  Being TRIGGERED in 1980 usually meant you dealt with something after downing a pitcher of beer.  Today?  TRIGGERED people need hours in some closet, a coach to unhinge you, and a vow to isolate the guilty party from your life.  

9.  Trying to spends tens of thousands a year on a single homeless guy, who won't clean up his drug problem, or put any enthusiasm into a 40-hour week.

10.  More polar bears exist today.....than 1960s....and a dozen times a year.....I get some woeful news that they are dying left and right.  

11. Society depends on rational human beings.  The minute that you start to have 50-percent in some irrational way....society won't last long.

12.  If you asked a hundred people to explain probability.....only those who took engineering courses, or statistical classes.....would be able to define the word.

13.  Lot of chatter in the UK.....up to four inches of snow predicted in the next week.  The suggestion is....four inches....will be enough to shut down the entire country.  Yeah, it's pretty comical.

What The House Will Discover About Donald Trump's Tax Records?

 Three things:

1.  A professional top-class accountant did them....something that 99-percent of us can't afford.

2.  Every credit....goes back to tax code written by idiot politicians over the past hundred years.

3.  Nothing illegal will be dished out....although we will probably get four hours of tax accountant chatter via CNN....which bores the hell out of us, and we end up at the point of watching a 1956 cowboy-love drama movie instead.
