Young Voters Discover Trump is a Piece of Sh!t.

Here is longer audio of the Trump "grab her by the pussy." I've never heard this before, the beginning.
 
Yes, people do lots of things for love & sex. Not all are the proudest moment of our lives. But who the F brags about it like this?? And to the media, of all places.
 
Anyway I feel I have to post this because I've never heard it before. It's upsetting young Gen Z people who are voting for the first time but never knew this happened....as it should. 

What woman or Christian could vote for this piece of sh!t? Or any man who cares about women? I just don't get it. I don't understand what's happening in that half of America.

The Scale of Lake Powell (3 mm = 1 BL)

 The other day I noticed that the level (elevation) of Lake Powell in the US changed by 0.01 ft:

I thought it would be fun to see how much water is in the 0.01 ft (= 3 mm). Subtracting the contents gives

785 acre-feet 
= 970,000 m3 
= 0.97 Mm3 
= 260 M gallons 
= 968 ML. 
≈ 1 billion liters

where L=liter. (using little L -- "l" -- for liter can get confusing).

So a water rise of 3 millimeters is about a billion liters of water. 

(I assumed vertical edges on the lake, so I can approximate the rise as a being in a box with nice vertical edges. But probably not a good assumption for more than that.)

PS: It's Excel's fault if I made any calculation errors. It always is.

Stupidity in America

The US has done much better after getting out of the Trump depression than most other countries:


Yes, Trump and his stupidity are responsible for the 1Q20 to 3Q20. Biden wasn't even elected until 4Q20 and didn't take office until 1Q21. 

It's all on Trump. His MAGA supporters really are too stupid to understand this. Simple data and they can't understand it. Or how well the Biden economy has done post 1Q21 when he was sworn in. 

Shear stupidity, nothing but, is going to drive a stake into the heart of America. Just watch. It's already happening. Stupid people who just can't think.

Maybe we deserve it. Probably, This country is a complete mess.

"I Can Fix Stupid"

Things are really starting to get crazy in parts of America:

A regional public health department in Idaho has outright banned COVID-19 jabs, the Associated Press reported Friday. The Southwest District Health Department board, which governs six counties along the Idaho-Oregon border, voted 4-3 against the recommendations of the district’s medical director, Dr. Perry Jansen. “Our request of the board is that we would be able to carry and offer those [vaccines], recognizing that we always have these discussions of risks and benefits,” Jansen said at the meeting last month. “This is not a blind, everybody-gets-a-shot approach. This is a thoughtful approach.” The ban appears to be the first such instance of a U.S. governmental body blocking inoculations, the AP noted.

If I'm reading this correctly, a local state clinic in the state of Idaho will no longer vaccinate people against COVID. 

Because they can't understand the difference between science and conspiracies. This is medieval.

I saw a little cartoon a few years ago. A woman in it says, "You can't fix stupid." A COVID virus replies to her, "I can fix stupid."
