Tried to order a dumb cat toy.
Guess what?
The website didn’t work.
It kept asking for shipping country.
… … but there was no drop down box for it.
Argh!
Does anyone test? Does anyone do use cases? Does anyone care?
Of course, there was no way to contact the seller except by phone.
So there’s one lost sale.

Physicians May Be Missing their Most Important Tool
Michael Greger M.D. FACLM June 1st, 2015 Volume 24
*** begin quote ***
Yes, there’s still much to learn about the optimal diet, but we don’t need a single study more to take nutrition education seriously—immediately. It is the low-hanging fruit of health care. We have had the knowledge we need for some time; what we need now is the will to put it into practice. By emphasizing the powerful role of nutrition, we could dramatically reduce suffering and needless death.
*** end quote ***
All by eating a plant-based diet?
Seems too simple but you can’t argue with the evidence.
Yeah, it requires retraining our tastes and our brain (i.e., memes), but look at what it avoids: heart attack, strokes, and type 2 diabetes.
I’m “trying”. Oh, how I hate that word. “NO! … Try not! … Do or do not… there is no try.” (To do it justice, you must say the word try with all the revulsion and disgust you can put on it. Like you were talking about a rapist, a child murderer, or a politician!) — Yoda (Fictional character from George Lucas’s “Star Wars” movie)
“Try” to save your own life and extend your useful years.
But, like smoking, it’s hard to change the paradigms and memes of a lifetime.
But you and I have to “try”.

When I search for “where is what3words shed.varieties.menu”, I get send to the what3words website.
Doesn’t Google understand that shed.varieties.menu is a location using this universal addressing scheme.

I guess not!
So much for google being the all-seeing all-knowing tool.
Argh!

Hundreds of thousands of people in South Africa live in informal settlements which lack reliable addressing. Gateway Health has begun piloting the use of 3 word addresses in KwaNdengezi, a poor informal settlement on the outskirts of Durban. It will help to build a detailed community map, so that residents, businesses and organisations can continue to use 3 word addresses to greatly improve their standard of living.

I really like this idea. Better than zip codes.
And not just for pizza delivery in Mongolia.
Pretty good for here in the USA.
Here at my NH location, I am set back off the street and it’s hard to find if you don’t know where it is.
Imagine if the USA adopted this as a national standard.

JWR Says: I’d like to introduce a new term into the American Lexicon: The Self-Crashing Car.

An excellent addition to the American language.
And I’m posting it on April Fools’ Day, no joke here.

I guess programming a “drop dead” date in their webpage is too difficult.
Unless this was intended as an April Fools’ joke. Which I doubt.
Sigh!

Venezuela Muzzles Legislature, Moving Closer to One-Man Rule
By NICHOLAS CASEY and PATRICIA TORRES
MARCH 30, 2017
*** begin quote ***
QUITOS, Peru — Venezuela took its strongest step yet toward one-man rule under the leftist President Nicolás Maduro as his loyalists on the Supreme Court seized power from the National Assembly in a ruling late Wednesday night.
*** end quote ***
Here’s a textbook example of how Gooferment goes to dictatorship. Socialism leads to disaster.
The money is destroyed by the Gooferment policies and the people starve.
We don’t have to go back to the German Weirmar Republic any more.
Just look at Venezuela!
Argh!
“We, The Sheeple” are so stupid. The FED — The Federal Reserve Bank is a misnomer. IT ain’t “federal”. It reserves nothing. And, it ain’t a “bank”. It is a private cartel of the elite banks run for their benefit and that of the entrenched politicians. — is very simply inflating the value of the dollar away.
Soon the USA will be in the same shape, or worse, as Venezuela. It took a long time — 100 years — but the result is the same!

Coming back from the dentist, I was listening to Dennis Malloy about childlessness and millennials not marrying or having children.
Interesting.
I tweeted the show:
Ferdinand Reinke @reinkefj:
@DennisandJudi Childness does cost society. Japan? Social Security? IA contra survival trait, eliminates the human race eventually.
By our “education system” and parental guidance / example, we are “eliminating” future generations. Never mind the impact of “free” and encouraged abortions, gay marriage, and heavy Gooferment taxation.
Look at Japan, where their posterity will depopulate the island in the next decades.
Look at Europe, where the “Muslim refugees” have a deliberate strategy of out reproducing the local indigenous population.
Look at the USA’s Social Security Ponzi scheme that absolutely REQUIRES new suckers, I mean taxpaying youngsters, to pay off the oldsters whose wealth has been stolen by the politicians and bureaucrats of the past and present.
So, in essence, it all comes down to humanity breaking the “be fruitful and multiply” commandment.
“If you’re green, you’re growing; brown, dying.”
The human civilization is dying out. Like the dodo, or any other extinct species.
So sad.

15,000 Steps Is the New 10,000
Patrick Allan
Thursday 1:00pm
Filed to: HEALTH
*** begin quote ***
We’ve all heard the “walk 10,000 steps a day to be healthy” pitch, but new research says that, while 10,000 is better than nothing, it might not quite be enough.
The study, published in the International Journal of Obesity, looked at postal workers in Glasgow, Scotland, including office workers and carriers who primarily deliver mail by foot. Each participant wore an activity tracker and had their body mass index, waist size, blood sugar level, and cholesterol profile measured throughout the study. All of which, of course, are risk factors for heart disease.
Unsurprisingly, those who sat most of the day had higher BMIs, larger waistlines, poor blood sugar control, and less than ideal cholesterol profiles when compared to those who moved around more. In fact, for every hour of sitting during the day beyond five hours, participants had a .2% increased likelihood of developing heart disease in their lifetime based on the researchers’ model.
But those who walked a lot throughout each day were the picture of health. Workers who walked 15,000 steps or more each day (which is roughly seven miles), or were standing upright for seven hours or more, had normal BMIs, average waistlines, and had no features of metabolic syndrome. Overall, their risk of heart disease was very low when compared to those who walked fewer than 15,000 steps, assuming they weren’t already at high risk for hereditary reasons. This research suggests that our current estimate of 10,000 steps per day may be too conservative, and that 15,000 steps is the mark we should be aiming for if we want to stave off life-threatening cardiac conditions.
*** end quote ***
Argh!
I haven’t gotten to 10k on any kind of consistent basis. Let alone 15 or 21!
Argh!
Argh!
So I guess I have to rethink my commitment to steal back all my social security losses due to their Ponzi theft. By my rough calculation, I probably have to life to 120 to steal it back. 240, if you add in the Time Value Of Money. Argh!
So I better get moving.

Why You Need a Personal-Defense Plan
by Sheriff Jim Wilson – Tuesday, March 14, 2017
*** begin quote ***
A strong personal-defense plan may be all the difference in the world between your saying, “They told me this could happen and I know just what to do about it,” as opposed to, “Good grief! What the hell do I do now?” Which will it be when the time comes?
*** end quote ***
“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.”
— Dwight D. Eisenhower
“Fail to plan; plan to fail.”
Have to do this asap.
