Everything now indicates a 20y timeline unless by some miracle, the poles stop moving. I'm sure if the majority of mankind understood, the would appreciate that if it happened.

Know some talented actuaries and have tried to determine a +/- years into the galactic current sheet from one trip around the galaxy to another but can't seem to get a consistent set of data points.
My premise is that there might be variability in how and when our solar system encounters the waves of the current sheet. I would not expect each time around producing the same exact encounter..

At least Mars has an extra 50 million miles to dissipate the effect of the blast,
cheap real estate, no taxes, and no governmental interference to speak of.
Could be that the blast is 100+ years away and underground Mars settlement
might be realized in time.

... (and China the coal import kings.)

Q: What do you do when you have $100 billion to invest and every earthside government wants to steal from you?
A: Use your assets (and the assets the government stole from others) and go to a locale that has less government intervention for a while.

You know, I've never met a "Bible Thumper". I am around Christians or Christian like people but never a "Bible Thumper".
Must be a Mid West Thing . . .

Keep envisioning a thumping monster in a si fi flick, Betcha Dino could find a thumping monster from the past.

God bless and take care, NealS. Agent orange took two of my friends. RIP Ron and Mike. Quick story: When I had my 5-way heart bypass op there were some bad complications with heart speed regulation. Four days later, after a failed attempt to get it under control I was wheeled out of the OR and left in the hallway for a moment. I was laying on the gurney looking up at the lights on the ceiling thinking I was going to die in less than 24 hours. Ron walked up to me, crossed his arms and said very calmly, "Not yet". Then he chuckled and walked away. Ron was "called home" 12 years prior, but I could see him and hear him right next to me. All my anxiety went away and as you can see I'm writing this today and I'm feeling very good for an old guy.

Again, God bless and take care, NealS! Agent orange was bad stuff!

I do not see this as value for money.

But, sure beats decarbonization at a higher cost which has achieved de-industrialization - except for the US with Trump!

I'm not joining either but will support one:

a) far right bible thumping gun owners
b) barbarian wokist violent destroyers.

a) It is.

Less fraud there.

Took me a sec to get the third panel in the first set, but that's rich. The look on Hillary's face says it all.
Reminds me of something someone said once: Getting married is like getting a subscription to Playboy. The first month, you run to the mailbox and open up the plastic wrapper and go straight to the centerfold-- Miss April 1986!
The next month, you run to the mailbox, tear the wrapper open again, and go straight to the centerfold; Miss April1986!!
Whaa?
Forty years later:
Hey another issue.
Yep, Miss April 1986.
I'm going to take her to a tractor pull for our anniversary.
Think I'm doing too much?

The moon and Mars for that matter, along with all the other planets will be devastatingly affected by the solar micro nova. Don't know if the moon or mars has a meaningful magnetic field, maybe one can be created but the Blast and impactors from the event will be a killer.

You Also did really good Kat . . . you'll get your well deserved Hug one day.

You did Good Kid . . .

How you feel should soon end when Mr. Sun warmly smiles down upon you.
I may soon feel better. Made an appointment with my family doctor. Hoping for a shot of antibiotics tomorrow.

It's still working its way in here, but the rest of the week looks very promising. It will take a few warm days to remove more than 10" of snow, if it melts before the next freeze. I am a mite bitchy right now, too long housebound ;:)

it is the worst of times it is the best of time

funny stuff

. . . absolutely! He did so much damage, but he started with good intentions—until he met with his first real challenge:

President Lincoln pushed for his measure of control over the banking system. The British Banksters responded to these reforms in the London Times:

"If this mischievous financial policy, which has its origin in North America, shall become endurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without debt.

"It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world. The brains, and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That country must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe."

Lincoln was not up for the challenge and destroyed his own country.

Thanks. That warmer weather is here already. Love it!

Lincoln, the most "admired" was the most treasonous.

NealS, 1/7th 1stCav 66/67.I might have asked you to put some artillery in my area. Was the guy with the radio on his back. Thanks for your service and for being on the RIGHT side of the issues. Welcome home

Passing on memes is my best job right now, but I raised two kids who follow Turning Point among other honest places and do their part to spread real news. My son is also in a group of veterans who ride bikes and rescue kids in a completely legal manner, complete with all the necessary paperwork. They don't want publicity because it would only hamper their huge efforts. I can't do any more at the moment, but who knows what the future will bring.

Feel better, Dino. The warm weather is on the way and you need sunshine.

Very interesting. I didn't realize lunar dust was so abrasive and sharp and presents a real challenge. It makes sense since there is no wind or water erosion to smooth edges of broken up material. No atmosphere, however, will allow it to settle quickly if disturbed rather than blow around like here on earth. Wipe your feet carefully when you enter a habitat.

I've converted at least two people, one is a relative, from ingnorance voting to voting based on fact, usually fact that the government itself publishes. Does that count? If not, I was responsible for killing thousands of enemy via application of heavy artillery in Vietnam. That's gotta count, or does it? My reward now is a list of cronic ailments and diseases, from an application of Agent Orange that they think I'm getting reimbursed for it by paying me off. There really is no "Thank You for Your Service". I'd rather have my health. Sorry for getting off subject. Your heading triggered me, but I needed to vent again.
