Unless my throat gets dry+sticky from sleeping 10 hours without consuming enough water+salt I never feel like I can't breathe. And, when that (rarely) happens, extending the length of my throat, by cocking my chin up, is an immediate fix. After which, I consume water+salt. Water and saltine crackers work great.

Judges refuse to hear about tenants' insane behavior and they will not consider late fees. Screeners are not allowed to to know a potential tenant's criminal history. To kick someone out based on bad behavior, landlords need a formal conviction. Thousands of dollars are lost this way; bad tenants push out better tenants. Everyone suffers, not just the landlord.

Our "Progressive" mayor is thrilled with current events, calling it "the summer of love"; she's telling Trump: " Go back into your bunker. ". Actually, it's more like "The Purge", " The summer of bloody rape. ". The police save lives, including black lives. Looting and arson are perfectly acceptable, commendable; but you'll get a ticket if you try to run a hair salon. Since when was Detroit the envy of the world, something to be emulated ?!

We can't even get rid of a violent, rapey housemate -- Lord have mercy ! If not the Lord, I'll take the Mafia. "Progressives" are doing their damnedest to turn every city in America into Detroit; complete with arson and looting. If you really, -truly- believed that black lives mattered, you'd double the police force, especially in Chicago. "Progressives" wrong-think starts at a young age, when little Johnny, in his pink miniskirt, could do no wrong. Without punishments and rewards, nothing gets done, and we have to hand over the reins to "racist, fascist, polluting" China. Anyone who tries to do anything good in America is immediately shouted down with the words, "racist, fascist, polluter". Meanwhile, negative interest rates, ( after inflation ), negative risk premiums, and the tech boom are driving Seattle's real estate prices through the roof.

Yes, as I recently posted: Cops must be more sensitive to sick people; George Floyd was too weak to handle it. He had a heart attack; heart disease and COVID-19.

Same here, in urban Seattle; society carelessly mistreats us. We've gangs of squatters breaking windows, light fixtures, doors, and the washing machine/dryer ( for the coins ). There's a lot of them, high on drugs; they steal bikes, mail and packages. The police refuse to do anything about it; the jails are mostly empty. We're not allowed to evict; so the bad tenants have chased out the better ones. I've 5 unrented rooms right now, out of 32. Most are not paying rent because they know they don't have to; the landlord is slow to fix things. The University of Washington is shut down indefinitely; buildings and stores are closed.

Near as I can tell, most multi-family apartment owners have deep pockets; also, they’re first in line at the printing press. Problem is, there’s not enough charity going on; either that, or it’s misdirected. Bill Gates worries about (ubiquitous) viruses, as if that were the primary cause of deaths; he doesn’t understand (proper) cause-n-effect. Apparently, Seattle can’t afford long-term care for mentally-ill drug abusers. Heroin is a pain reliever. Religion is a pain reliever. God is nature. Money printing is a pain reliever. ■ Jeff-Relf.Me@Apr.10--5.11am.Seattle.2020 Comp.OS.Linux.Advocacy, Sci.Physics Homelessness and wealth inequality. Thousands of years ago, Jesus agreed with today's central bankers; saying: > For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, > and he shall have more abundance; > > but whosoever hath not, from him > shall be taken away even that he hath. See: "Parable of the Talents" and "Parable of the Sower". In Matthew 25:30 KJV, Jesus says: > Cast ye the unprofitable servant > into outer darkness: there shall be > weeping and gnashing of teeth. The idea is that you plant your "seed" (investment) where you get the highest return; i.e. you give it to the (proven) rich, not to the poor (deadbeats). Don't cast pearls before swine. Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig. That said, we cannot raise interest rates, -- we cannot pop the asset price bubble -- unless-n-until we provide long-term care for mentally-ill drug abusers. Once done, homelessness and wealth inequality are quite tolerable. ■ Jeff-Relf.Me@Apr.10--3.07am.Seattle.2020 Comp.OS.Linux.Advocacy, Sci.Physics She ain’t gonna get none of it.

Your government decided to give food to low income people, like me; and I accepted. If you offered me food, I'd take it, like a gentleman. Bitching at me won't change anything, and it's affecting your mental health. Currently, the government is bailing out everyone and their dog -- trillions of dollars. Multi-family properties are suffering. Single-family rentals seem to be doing okay. My SRO tenants are approaching me, saying they don't have to pay rent. Eventually, the ban on evictions will go away, and they won't be able to catch up. If they fight it, in court, they can win. Seattle gives them crack lawyers, no charge, and charities pay the past-due rent. Late fees, court fees, and property damage, must be transferred to a bill collector; the judge doesn't want to hear about it. Evicting someone for bad behavior is damn near impossible in "progressive" Seattle. If they lose, they won't leave unless-and-until the sheriff drags them out. Even then, some have to be trespassed -- they hang around. There's a tsunami of scary squatters, stealing bikes and UPS packages; they trade it for meth, heroin and sex.

Homelessness is the greatest healthcare crisis in America. America wants them dead, apparently. Currently, Seattle has a 30 day moratorium on evictions -- and it'll likely be extended beyond 60 days. Starting 2 years ago, deadbeat tenants have been given free, amazing lawyers. For many months now, we've been trying to evict an off-the-wall insane meth addict, who never pays rent -- charities have given him many thousands of dollars ( for rent ). When "screening" tenants, I'm not allowed to know or consider one's criminal history. I -- must -- accept money from charities; once, when I balked, I was threatened with a lawsuit. He's fresh from Ethiopia, with a long police record, who continually breaks windows ( big time ), punches holes in the wall, harbors drug dealers, attacks women ( and others ), and vibrates the house at 4 am with his music. When a housemate, a young University of Washington student, asked him to turn it down, he got maced. He pulled a knife on me. Recently, he tried to break down the door of one of our last remaining tenants; apparently, he wants to floor all to himself. Three of my tenants have filed restraining orders against him. The police tell me they're not putting anyone in jail these days, due to the virus. Seattle wants him to be -- my -- problem; they've washed their hands of it. We should worry less about viruses and more about compromised immune systems due to poor housing. ■ . 49i17fdo8rlsgg2q2oahelm5oqohgpbf7c@4ax.com .

I've been working with a guy who escaped Shanghai right before the last flight out, near the end of January, 35 days ago. It took him 5 hours to get to the airport, instead of 30 minutes, due to road-blocks. He raises live chickens at his Mercer Island mansion; so his meat and eggs are fresh. Imagine that, slaughtering a live chicken, and plucking it, when you want to eat it; for me, heating-up a frozen dinner is laborious. In China, people happily pay a premium for wild-caught meat, hanging in the market, unrefrigerated -- food safety is an issue. No one trusts baby-formula made in China; foreign versions are traded on the (huge) black market, alongside European chocolates. In China, not even Walmart carries cheese; they eat some kind of "oxen", not beef. Rats and dogs are on the menu. Walking along the street, here in Seattle, I see Chinese people wearing facemasks.

We're talking "thermodynamics"; specifically, spontaneous changes from the less probable to the more probable. Rolling "snake eyes" ( 1, 1 ) is less probable than rolling a 7 ( 3, 4; 5,2; 1, 6; ... ). In physics, entropy is how evenly heat/matter are distributed. Our hot/dense sun evaporates into the cold/sparse vacuum, losing 4.3 million tons each second. Our Universe is going from infinitely hot/dense to infinitely cold/sparse. "God" (nature) programmed us to ride this wave ( i.e. to sustainably consume residual eXergy ), same as the sun. We consume what nature gave us, same as the sun. ■ joshipura@gmail_com 1b1cb5cb-bd6e-48fd-8e1c-288efacecf5e@googlegroups.com Jeff-Relf.Me@Mar.1--1.12am.Seattle.2020 Sci.Physics ╱ 2 m2 Shifty; 2.3 Hours, GoogleG, 49.205.216.213, Feb 29 { 10:34pm, 2020 }:42^(PST) XნпШ Photons are absorbed and re-emitted.

In the absence of a vacuum, photons are absorbed and re-emitted. An electron might absorb a photon, if it's the right frequency, and get pushed into a higher, discrete "orbit" ( a new probability distribution, actually ). Such "orbits" are discrete, not continuous. Later, the electron might emit a photon, at a certain, specific frequency, sending the electron down to a lower "orbit". ■ Sergio│invalid@invalid_com r36d8c$18hf$1@gioia.aioe.org whodat│whodat@avoid_void_net r36hf5$m6$1@dont-email.me Roy_Masters│noemail@invalid_ r36tbi$1lmv$1@gioia.aioe.org Sergio│invalid@invalid_com r377ed$11e2$1@gioia.aioe.org Jeff-Relf.Me@Feb.26--7.01pm.Seattle.2020 Sci.Physics, Sci.Math ╱ 2 m233 Mad; 21.8 Minutes, Gecko➤Jan_2010➤Win7, Aioe.ORG, Feb 26 { 5:53pm, 2020 }:13^(-6) XლАч Every man gets a blonde ( Hitler excluded ).

Eviction for bad behavior, and/or not paying for " damages and/or fees ", is nearly impossible. At most, we can pass it off to a bill collector; it doesn't come into play in eviction court. A slew of new laws, like that, have made our lives miserable recently. I'm not allowed to know/consider a potential tenant's criminal history, for example. Like it or not, leases transition to month-to-month, a.k.a. "Tenant In Perpetuity" ( seriously ). Imagine if you were chained to a lovely lady; sooner or later, you'd get sick of it. Hence, "no-fault" divorce. For similar reasons ( up until recently ) either party could terminate a rental agreement.

Drug dealers come and go constantly; my room vibrates at 4 a.m., as if a dance bar were next door. We've been trying to evict him for months; he's extremely defiant. Catholic charities pay his rent; the city provides him with lawyers. Meanwhile, better tenants moved out. Once, one of his homeless friends spit in the landlord's face. The landlord called 911, reporting the attack; they never showed up. Imagine if you were chained to a lovely lady; sooner or later, you'd get sick of it. Hence, "no-fault" divorce. For similar reasons ( up until recently ) either party could terminate a rental agreement. Basically, Seattle does everything in its power to make sure the problem belongs to us, so it doesn't have to deal with it. ■ James_McGinn│jimmcginn9@gmail_ 6b2d5666-30ad-45f5-aa26-1d663cbed732@googlegroups.com Sylvia_Else│sylvia@email_ h917oiFs6fmU1@mid.individual.net James_McGinn│jimmcginn9@gmail_ 7b446bed-4bcb-4614-8e86-757c081841ef@googlegroups.com Sylvia_Else│sylvia@email_ h91kccF4ciU1@mid.individual.net Jeff-Relf.Me@Jan.25--6.31am.Seattle.2020 Sci.Physics +Top, 12.7 Hours, Gecko➤Jan_2010➤Win7, Individual.NET, Jan 24 { 5:36pm, 2020 }:12^(11) XфϾC McGinn hates: science, nature, people, reality, etc. Sylvia Else replied ( to James McGinn ): > > This forum draws stupidity like shit draws flies. > > [ Simple Experiment Proves Moist Air > > is Heavier ( not lighter ) Than Dry Air ] > > I take it then that it is just a description of > an experiment that could be done, > not a video of one that has been done.

The velocity of molecules is Gaussian/semi-random; the temperature is merely the top of the bell curve, it doesn't tell you what the other molecules are doing; some are going much faster; others, much slower.

Mortgages have been packaged and resold for many decades, long before the 2007 real estate bubble. The problem was/is: yield chasing. The value of your pension goes down when the Fed raises short-term interbank rates because money flees the (much) riskier assets in your 401(k) for the safety of the FDIC-insured checking account; so you have to work longer for less. Globally there's an oversupply of products and a lack of demand because there aren't enough good jobs to go around. If you're a retired Boomer, and your adult kids are still at home, playing video games, then spending less is your only option. Globally, the world is aging; people aren't producing enough ("useless") kids. That means negative growth, general deflation; e.g. an overproduction of gold ( vs. demand ). For more, Google "Gary Shilling". By the way, the inner-city poor experience wild inflation ( in the form of rent ) but that's another story. > I was taking a financial Class at major university > when 2008 happened, got inside view.

Last 40 years, all over the world, money has been steadily, predictably, moving into the US dollar; specifically, into 30 year T-bonds, looking for a safe haven. Fed wonks had nothing to do with it; they own 1.4% of the 41 Trillion U.S. Bond Market. Shadow banks, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are scary zombies. Global OverSupply is real. OverSupply of high-income housing is real; especially in Australia and Canada, as money flees Hong Kong. UnderSupply of low-income housing is real; kids are sleeping on the streets, like stray dogs. Trump's (backwards) "solution" is trade tariffs; apparently, he's never heard of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act.

INN servers, particularly Individual.NET ( 12$/Year ), are the best way to update text-only newsgroups. Binary servers ( Usenet-News.NET, BlockNews.NET ) are far cheaper then Individual.NET, because 5 $ lasts a lifetime, and they don't censor you. When it comes to posting, only a binary server will do. Binary servers have no "xRef:" lines, and Article Numbers are often useless there. Also, newsgroups aren't always updated immediately; sometimes there's a long lag, despite the fact that a peer ( e.g. Individual.NET ) always gets your posts immediately. My custom-built newsreader, Jeff-Relf.Me/X.HTM, keeps track of recently used message IDs, not Article Numbers; so switching servers is painless, no need to re-download newsgroups.

Examining the numbers, I believe Gary Shilling is right: We're in a recession right now, but it'll be over in a year or two. A year from now, they'll say that the recession began July 2019; for me, it began a year before then, thanks to artificially high rates.

Communist Serbia abused dissenters. Trump may be our "Deadbeat in Chief" but at least we don't crack down on dissenters as much as Russian/Chinese gangsters. America entered a recession August, 2019, I think. The consumer Price Index _ wildly _ understates the inflation rate of poor urbanites. Rent defines the inflation rate for people on fixed incomes, part-time workers with few benefits, and contractors with no benefits. At some point, this "stealth" inflation makes it so that one can no longer pay rent; depression sets in, and one is removed from society, and placed in a shelter. For these people, the recession/depression has been going on for a long, long time -- hard and strong. Pockets of depression, tent cities. Hoping to cash in on this misery, Democrats are drooling over Amazon, imagining different ways to skewer it, for the feast. A high minimum-wage and high housing standards are snooty; they remove the lower rungs of the ladder, to keep "undesirables" out. ■ HerbertGlazier 317c528e-9aa7-4b16-a3c6-870e46c59061@googlegroups.com Jeff-Relf.Me@Oct.16--3.33pm.Seattle.2019 Sci.Physics ╱ 3 m148 Cool; 5.7 Hours, GoogleG, 74.118.32.5, Oct 16 { 9:43am, 2019 }:31^(PDT) XϱЭɛ Our Universe is going from infinitely hot/dense to infinitely cold/sparse. > What Came Before the BB ?

Trump is _ not _ a fiscal conservative, far from it; in fact, he's kinda fond of bankruptcies. The world is printing money like never before; but it's inflating asset prices, not The Consumer Price Index. Today's balance sheets are pure fiction. The UnBanked don't care about asset prices, nor (unpaid) rent; they just want their drugs, and they don't care who they have to "fuck" to get it. The housing crisis is due to: - Too many strays, undesirables. No family values.

Next time they let you use Google, try searching for: Where does atmospheric oxygen come from ? EarthSky.ORG: Most of this oxygen comes from tiny ocean plants -- called phytoplankton -- that live near the water's surface and drift with the currents. Like all plants, they photosynthesize -- that is, they use sunlight and carbon dioxide to make food. A byproduct of photosynthesis is oxygen. The warmer it is, and the greater the carbon dioxide, the more oxygen is released into the atmosphere.

"My" place is party-central, and randos are using all 5 bathrooms extensively, taking showers around-the-clock. No police to chase them out, like in Texas and Arkansas; that'd be too right-wing. Besides, each jail bed costs the city 100 thousand $ per year. No housing for the strays, the unwanted, the undesirables, the homeless; that'd be too left-wing, too expensive, too enabling.

We have plenty of access to clean, fresh water; so drinking ordinary seawater is harmless. You won't be tempted to drink too much. In fact, plenty of people buy sea salt, which is just dehydrated seawater. If you've lost liquids to sweat or diarrhea, try eating some sea salt; after that, you'll feel the desire to drink plenty of fresh water. Most people here, including Paul and Carlos, promote very expensive, very mysterious, re-hydration methods. You guys keep spending thousands and thousands of dollars to sate your wild imaginations.
