If you understand the Hegelian Dialectic, you can figure out what Trump is.

I have become wary of these guys in recent weeks, and heard this on the radio today. Not a good look.

ARK: Survival Evolved / Tales of Woe
« on: August 17, 2015, 01:08:55 pm »
To quickly explain, myself and a team mate recently moved to Getsome's Ark server. We built in an alcove in the water, which has a slowly tapering cliff face bordering 3 sides of our base.

This morning, I quickly checked our base, and before even putting on my headphones, could see the ground shaking. I looked in the pen out front, and a lvl 116 Male Bronto had launched himself off the cliff above us, and landed in our holding pen. This in itself posed a serious logistical challenge, having only put in a dino gate, and not a behemoth one.

I decided my only course of action, which was to knock out a section of wall, to let the bronto out.  I start running across the holding pen to begin demolishing walls, just as one of my Dilos got stood on by the Bronto, which of course, caused a small upset. 6 Tames died on the first tail swish, I died on the second. I spawned, raced down to the base (our temp bed was up on the cliff behind the new base). I then managed to knock out enough walls to get him out, but then as the Bronto hit the water, about 5 MegaPiranhas got stuck into him, and I got tail whipped a second time, launched out into deeper water, and died again.

I finally respawned on the bed on the hill above base, and start running down the hill again, and about halfway down, got T-boned by a Carno at full snot, which launched me off the cliff, down in to the holding pen, whereupon, you guessed it....... I died.

I wait a while for the cool down on the spawn bed, and start running down the hill again (I have since set my bed up in my base), and hear heavy footsteps as I get closer to the base. I run through the front door to the holding pen, and discover that the Carno that had just boofed me off the cliff, has followed my carcass down, into ........ sigh, our holding pen.

       Having just lost all my tames to the angry Bronto, I am wondering how to despatch this Carno, when suddenly, a Rex literally falls from the sky, having just seen me and the carno from the low side of the cliff, now I have a lvl 45 Carno, and a lvl 68 Rex in my holding pen, and I have a stone hatchet, and soiled underpants, as my primary offense weapons.

   My simple morning base check up, has turned into a clusterf&*k of biblical proportions. I finally lured the carno and Rex out into the water, using a trike that I have hit with my hatchet, and replace the wall panels quickly as they exit, so finally the carnage was over......... that is of course, until I decided to repair my torch in the dark, blindly fumbling around for a stone, I pick up a trike egg.

Why is the sky blue?

Makes for an interesting conversation over a beer or two.

Instead of just belching out useless copy cat posts, howz about explaining the ins and outs of how gravity works. The molecular, sub molecular/atomic aspects, how it affects objects within it's area of influence. Michio Kaku is man enough to admin that science knows what gravity does, but doesn't know what it is, yet, you seem to out rank him in universal outstanding on every topic.

Just when I thought there was no hope for the universe, every googling expert here, seems to have the cosmos all mapped out, by way of belittling posts, and sarcastic quips.

There is a gap of light years between being taught how to learn, and being coached how to think. The level of sheer ignorance here, should be evidence enough we evolved from shit slinging apes.

But magnetism as we understand it, is about ferrous metallic objects being attracted to a magnetic force, or replled by way of EMP, or similar.

Fascinating subject to discuss over a beer or two.

I am yet to find a suitable explanation for gravity. Science knows what is does, but is left fidgeting uncomfortably, if I ask what it is.

Okay, I have shut down my DX account, because Ali-Express makes them look like a pack of lazy rogues. I will not shop at DX ever again. My 3rd AliEx order has arrived,and they are taking on average, 12 - 14 days, when DX take 6 weeks.

Thank you to those of you who mentioned Ali-Ex.

There seems to be no reliable alternative sources these days, other than the ones plugged into the mainstream of thought. How does a person obtain, the most basic of medical imperatives, which is the "second opinion"?. If everyone who reports something contra to the medias golden boys and girls, gets black listed as a nut job, then we are leaving ourselves wholly at the mercy of the mainstream camp, to deliver us the bad news of any side effects, or deaths resulting from their medicine campaign.

Human nature does not have in it, an inherant nature of honesty. On the Police 10-7 show, how many people caught drink driving, or speeding, actually say "yeah, I did it?". Maybe one in 25 or 30. How much less will this nature then admit they poisioned a bunch of kids unnecessarily with a vaccine full of Squalene?.

You have to admit, there seems to be a heck of a lot of effort goes into reporting what is beneficial to the vaccine giants, and for some reason, we hear nothing of any side effects, chronic paralysis, and other results, which are often worse than the diease they were trying to eradicate. This equates to passive propaganda, making the situation even more dangerous from the standpoint of misinformation. This hearken s back to Pyromaniks point about the almost blanket lack of genuine information available to people.

There's no possibility that the reporting for pro vaccine doesn't suffer from sensationalist click-baiting?. It's very easy to just play the "whack job conspiracy theorist" card, but who is actually bothering to look into this independantly, and trying to see why the worlds child popualtion is being targeted with vials full of a material we are told is benefical.

The real problem as I have experienced, is that they rely on their pious weilding of degrees, and doctorates, to blind the victim, because they could not possibly understand the science behind it, so unless you have "credentials", your opinion is worthless. I work in a very tenchnical industry, and am responsible for training average joes, and josephines, to understand as much of it as I can, by using examples, and paralells, rather tham just insult their intelligence, and discredit their opinions. The level of understanding of people who lack any degrees, is frankly astounding.
    None of my beliefs or opinions are borne of any crusade, or band wagon, they are merely a by product of thinking for myself. I have been alive too long to ignore the fact that when information is lacking, or appearing to be withheld, then there is always an agenda behind it  How many of you who work, get mad as crap when management won't share information?. I can tell you why that is, and it is as simple as them not wanting their decisions being second guessed, by a lowly staff member, who may have a better way to do it, and thus show them up.

I really appreciate your replies Bounty, it's been fantastic to have someone to discuss this with, so thanks mate.

Bounty, you have a Luse-K quote in your signature. Do you still keep in touch with him?. I miss the man's evil wit, and he doesn't seem to frequent any of the old websites he used to. If you do, can you give him a hi from me?. Thanks man.

I understand what you said, but if nothing is emitting CO2, what happens to the trees and plants?. Even a reduction of 50%, do we know what this would actually do to the eco-system?. Crazy catch-22 kind of thing going on there.

Bill Gates love vaccines, he is not quiet about it. The simple sanitation, and introduction of fresh drinking water to most poverty stricken places, would lower disease rates incredibly, without jabbing needles in peoples arms. These vaccines get distributed to the back woods remote villages, that just need the corrupt govt of thier country, to provide the basics. How much are the vaccines, when we get told that 1.00 a day can transforms a childs life" by aid agencies?.

Hey, Malaria, and all that stuff, is a worthy battle, I have no argument there, I think the root of my trepidation, is why they are pushing vaccines as the panacea of modern health, when you read stuff like this

“The mainstream media has been busy hailing the supposed success of India’s polio vaccine campaign over the past few years, with many news outlets now claiming that the disease has been fully eradicated throughout the country. But what these misinformation puppets are failing to disclose is the fact that cases of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP), a much more serious condition than that caused by polio, have skyrocketed as a result of the vaccine’s widespread administration”

I think my stance is best summed up by Pyromanik, where the almost wholesale lack of pre-jab information exists, there is an issue. There is a canyon full of difference between saying to a parent "some peoples babies have died of complications immediately after having this administered, and the rest have grown up happy and healhty". That is true choice being offered, not pushing one agenda, and glossing over the fact that deaths do occur as a result of them, for whatever reason that is.
  I don't think this is unreasonable.

Thanks Toofast, I will check that out. On the surface, it's looks like an AliEx clone, but probably just the standardised software package.

Just got my first Ali-Ex delivery. Ordered 2-11, arrived 17-11. Not too shabby. The shirt I bought is so cool, my whole family have threatened to steal it. Love the shirt !.

This made my morning, thanks guys, awesome work. :)
So many chuckles. We need to start another thread like this one.

Did anyone actually address what Bill said though?. Be he a doctor, or a software giant, why does he say exactly those words?. It's not ambiguous in any way, he is talking about using vaccines for population reduction. Twist is, turn it, settle it in your own mind, however it suits you, but that's the exact wording.

For the record, I never said I was anti vaccine, I said I would not have another flu vaccine in my life, because once bitten....actually, twice bitten. A lot of the medicine is good, but not all of it. And yes, I agree completely that there should be more fore-warning Pyro, especially on the baby to toddler years vaccines, which as you correctly point out, makes the child the guinea pig, with no adequate public level information. It concerns me that these vaccines are administered at an age when the childs entire body is in a state of flux, growing, developing, still unable to regulate itself in any serious way, and they pump the kid full of what?. These medical professionals spent the first two years of my daughters life telling me that he body was going through "massive developmenta changes", yet they still wanted to pump her full of weird vaccinations at that age....this seems so contradictory doesn't it?.

Don't get me wrong, there is good medicine out there, you'd be a tool to suggest otherwise, but not all of it is. Not sure what al these references are to Jenny McCarthy, so you'll have to explain that whacko reference to me. I am guessing she has been on a an anti vaccine crusade or something?. No way I am googling her name on my home computer. I would like to stay married. The rest of the accusational, and hyped up angry stuff, nice job getting yourself worked up over a forum thread. Keen to discuss topics, but having not slung any crap in your direction, you could maybe try do the same. Save the anger for when you actually need it.

Yeah, I have had no DOA's in 2-3 years, so I am among the lucky ones I think.

I got an Mtb Hydration pack earlier this year, from www.wildearth.com.au , and they sent the wrong colour. I emailed them in the morning when it arrived, by the end of that day, they had the correct one on an express courier to me, and I got to keep the incorrect one. Service like that, just makes you want to find more things to buy from them  :P

On average, the items I have purchased, have been about 60% cheaper than buying locally. I like to support NZ made, it's always my preference. On the other hand, I don't like paying ridiculous prices either.

Here is an item I have purchased in the past.

NZ Cost

Overseas cost

I paid $11.00 NZD delivered to my doorstep from DX , when the exchange rate was better.


Thanks Quantum, I will check that out, and yes, I noticed they tightened up on LiPo and Li-Ion this yeat too, before that, my mate Steve was buiying brincks of 25-50 TrustFire Blue 2200mah Li-Ions, to make battery packs for mtb lights, and they would show up in 3-4 weeks easy.  I ordered a bike light for my sons bike, that included a 4-cell 18650 batt pack, I did that on 22nd July this year....it arrived last week.

Thanks Tandoori, I have to buy local for clothes, I am a bit on the large side, and it's hard enough finding stuff in town, but I am tempted constantly :P . I am a bit that way electronics wise too. I bought a cheap 7" tablet off DX about 3 years back, and it's been fine, but I kind of have a self imposed 100.00 limit on electronics for exactly the same reason you mentioned.

I am keen to hear who buys stuff from the interwebz,, specifically, off-shore.

I have used DX.com for 2 years, and am about to ditch them like a labour party welfare policy
I have found Ali-Express, and it seems ok, I have done a couple of trial purchases, and waiting to see the result.

The litmus test seems to be, a test order of some Li-Ion batteries, and see if they arrive, because DX.com. cannot seem to get them out of the country lately.

The bulk of my purchases are electronic / electrical in nature, such as mountian bike lights, torches, 18650 Li-Ion batteries / packs. I am looking at SJ4000 "go-pro" look alikes on Ali, and they seem ok.

What other big buy sites are there, that isn't e-Bay?

Any input on topic, will be appreciated.

Quoting Bill Gates:
"The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent!" (About 1 Billion People!)

What do you think Bill is saying here?. If you think there is some alturistic intent behind vaccinations, and that no one profits from their production or promotion, then perhaps a better .jpg would be an ostrich with it's head in the sand. Bills statement seems to imply that there is a double whammy for the corporates here too, they get obscenely wealthy, distributing rat poison for humans, which keeps Ted Turner, and Bill Gates happy too. Win-win right?.

Don't think I'm on some high horse, I have had two flu vacc's 2 years apart from each other, and in both instances, ended up sicker than i have ever been in my life, with serious respiratory complications. When people in white lab coats inject stuff into animals, they look for changes, or developments, and we call that "science". When I stand back, and witness the same thing after I got injected with stuff, it's called "anecdotal nonsense", because I don't have a white coat. Now, as a control, I don't touch a vaccine for 6 years, and I have not had anything more than a mild head cold in that time. I was younger, fitter, and stronger back then, and I still got bowled over royally. When I started thinking for myself, rather than just doing everything my GP said was "in my best interests", I suddenly enjoy brilliant health.

All I am suggesting, is that people think for themselves. We get taught how to learn, not how to think.

I like to question how someone could be so stupid to not ever have a vaccination ever again.


Heard of Squalene before?. Have a read, it's fascinating stuff.

The reasons behind my comments are based on personal experience, rather than just parroting numbers and stats. I know two families who had happy healthy babies, and both babies died as a direct result of complications from a Vaccination done 2 weeks prior. No egg allergies, no anything of the sort. Why would I knowingly support something that has this kind of track record?. If I know two families it has devastated, how many more cases are likely to exist outside of my sad, misinformed world?.

When a Toyota Hilux fails to stop at intersection, and they figure out there is a fault in the brake system, and it lets air into the lines, and causes the brakes to go spongy, then they do what?. They recall the model, and they fix it. Seen any drug recalls in your life time?. You very likely won't, unless it's a debacle on the scale of Thalydomide. Drug companies and doctors share a very handy skill, that is also possessed by drainlayers .... they all bury their mistakes.
