Why the continual labeling of "denialists"? Why the rationalization of who or what I believe to fit your narrative? Is it because I don't want to buy into the general propaganda? I won't go along to get along? I should believe as you believe? I cannot have beliefs, thoughts, or ideas of my own? When did I say that there is no green house gases? And are you not using semantics of your own, to fit your own narrative? Did Newton define the final science and nothing has been discovered, explained, defined, developed, etc. since his death? You mentioned Pluto. Wasn't that a planet at one time and was down graded to a lessor body? I remember that upset some people. But, it is what it is.

Confirmation bias goes both ways, right? Please spare us the cliché that the science is settled. I never denied that there is or is not global warming/cooling/ climate change. When did gravity and relativity creep in? Is the conversation going to move to the argument of the earth is flat, no it isn't?

I have consulted numerous resources on the internet and one thing that I find in doing so is, that despite the claim that it is "settled science", the science is not settled. What I do find is that there are numerous claims that seem to blame human kind as the primary cause of global warming, or climate change or what ever is the favored term of today. Yet I also find accounts written by climatologist that say there are no one reason for global cooling/global warming/climate change. And that link, I read that one too, before you posted it. But, I wanted your opinion on the reason.

Still, what caused the global climate changed that caused the ice age to disappear? For that matter, what was it that caused the global temperature to drop so low, that there was a Glacial period in which ice in the northern pole migrated down south into Canada and the northern part of the United States?

Another coffee shop near my hotel bites the dust.

I have a jar of some kind of instant coffee at one of the condo's there in Bangkok that is not too bad for instant coffee. I bought it in one of the high end Thai super markets. But it is better than that 3 in 1. -

I would rather drink coffee from a Black Canyon (correct name?) coffee shop than that 3 in 1 stuff. -

I also have a stainless steel espresso maker. No better than the aluminum one suggested. I don't know why the Luxa made such good coffee but I have some hope now though. I found one of the luxa's on ebay for sale nearby (about 1.25 hour round trip) from where I live. Made an offer on it. The seller was not asking over $80.00 for it, or it was cheap but in another country. -
The Upper Atmosphere Is Cooling, Prompting New Climate Concerns

Is a new ice age upon us? Will glaciers flow south from the north pole and scrape my house away from it's foundations? -

I have one that looks like that in a kitchen cabinet. The coffee it makes is not worth the effort to do it. This is the one that I think I had before. https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/998002857/mcm-luxa-express-stove-top-vintage -
Oh! I thought this was about a bar girl who was famous.

Off topic because this is about my personal experience. I bought an Italian made expresso coffee maker at a flea market one day. I asked the couple why they were selling it. They said it leaked when they poured the coffee, spilling on the counter top and the side of the coffee cup. After the 3rd or 4th pour, I found out, you had to lift the lid when pouring to keep it from spilling. I had not been using the expresso maker because the gasket that came with it was old and needed replacing. I had difficulty finding a gasket because it was an odd size. I finally found the right size and this morning was my first time to use this coffee maker. I woke up the next day after buying a new gasket, very tired and made coffee without my glasses and made my first cup of coffee with that expresso maker. Grabbed a bag of coffee out of the cabinet, put the required amount in the expresso basket, and brewed some coffee. The flavor was excellent! But, it was better than any of the coffee from the automatic, turn on by itself, drip coffee maker I had been using. I stared at the coffee bag wondering why the coffee was so good but could not make out if it was the good tasting coffee I had or the horrible tasting coffee that I had stopped drinking, but did not throw away. I went to get my glasses and looked at the bag of coffee. It was the horrible tasting coffee! The good tasting coffee was still in the cabinet. I was confused. How can the coffee that had been horrible tasting taste so good? I put the maker in the sink and ran cold water on it to cool it off. When I could handle the maker, I opened it up, dumped the used coffee grounds out and put in coffee from my good coffee bag, and brewed new coffee. I tasted the newly brewed cup of coffee. Best tasting coffee I had ever made or ever tasted! I bought different brands and types of coffee and it did not matter, all the coffee was good to excellent. One day I realized I needed new gaskets. I stopped using the coffee maker until I found some two months later. I looked through the cabinets for the coffee maker and could not find it. I asked my wife if she knew where it was. She told me, you said you could not find gaskets so I threw it away! I have no idea what temperature the coffee maker worked at, I just put it on the stove top, heated it up until it spewed and sputtered and then took the coffee maker off the stove top. I added milk to cool it down to a drinkable temperature and enjoyed a good cup of coffee. I miss that expresso coffee maker! -
I don't understand that bit about repeated warnings about taking notes. I worked with documents from confidential to extremely sensitive Top Secret. Any one caught the first time, taking notes about classified documents and putting the notes in their pocket, would have been arrested by the MP's (military police)! This would have lead to punishment by Article 15 or a courts martial, depending on what classified information the notes were related to! Accessing documents that you did not have access to, was also punished by an Article 15 under the UCMJ, if it was determined you did it deliberately, even if you had the appropriate level security clearance. .

Coronavirus / Face Masks Intl Traveling Report
radiochaser replied to TallGuyJohninBKK's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
I have seen people wearing the same protective, surgical mask that would have been used for the coronavirus, while sanding sheetrock (gypsum board), which creates large size particulate that you can see floating in the air. When the worker takes the mask off, you can see the particulate dust in their nostrils! Yet, it is supposed to catch a virus you cannot see? Glad to see it's almost universal with not requiring them in my area of the U.S. in southeast Pennsylvania. A few weeks ago I went to a medical clinic to drop off a document. The security guard went off like I was committing a criminal offense when I did not walk over and grab a mask. The lady behind the plastic barrier refused to take the paper that I proffered through the 12 x 5 inch opening at the bottom of the barrier until I put a mask on. I put the mask on, the lady took the paper, I took the mask off and walked out the door . They called me up 4 days later and told me to return and pick up the document. I walked in, no masks, no barriers! -
You pose an interesting question. Where is your internet access server located? That might have something to do with the response you get. My search response is not just 5 years old either. Some of it looks like it goes back to the riots of the 60's, judging from the black and white pictures. Mine, according to the vpn I use, is in the United States. If yours is in a different country, tell me which country and I will switch my vpn region to that country and see what response I get. That looks like a screen shot of a mobile phone. If it is, that causes me wonder if that makes a difference too. Would the OS platform make a difference in your search results? My guess, if you are using a mobile, is that it is an iphone. I am using a computer with Win10.
