Observations on the world and its inhabitants
Well, some people must be laughing and so am I! Yes – I know I’m crazy. Tell me something I don’t know! 😆 This article is my ‘notes’ in case I need to refresh my memory in the future. It may help someone out there. So the backstory to this was from my previous post ...
“Honesty is the best policy.” We’ve heard this since childhood, seen it emblazoned on inspirational posters, and nodded along when it’s offered as relationship advice. It’s one of those universal virtues that nobody publicly disputes. After all, who would advocate for dishonesty? Yet in the messy reality of human relationships, honesty isn’t the straightforward virtue ...
Well you (meaning me) live and learn. I made an assumption over 40-odd years that petrol was a particular molecular compound. It turns out from my investigation that it is a mixture of compounds. Ahhh.. so somebody will be wondering, “Why the devil is he researching that, now? Has he not got anything better to ...
This is about Dinitrogen-Dioxygen Fluidic Mixtures, a previously not well recognised danger to humanity and economic systems. Without further delay, the list of risks and damage are as follows: Inhalation Dependency: Prolonged exposure to DDFM leads to severe dependence. Users have been known to seek it out constantly, with extreme cases requiring it every few ...
The internet has revolutionised the way we communicate, access information, and form communities. However, this technological advancement has also brought about unintended consequences. Over the past decade, there has been a growing concern about the rise of online tribalism, political correctness, cancel culture, and the suppression of dissenting voices.

This does not mean ‘sex’ – just in case. So, words like ‘sleeping’ do not mean having a shag! I don’t care who’s ‘sleeping’ with who(m). Sleep stands as one of the most time-consuming biological imperatives in human existence, second only to breathing in its demand for dedicated hours. The average adult spends approximately one-quarter ...
Well, I’m on a roll from the last post on eggs in the microwave. I had mentioned that boiling rice or anything on a stove is not very energy efficient. What a surprise I had! This exploration actually ended up showing that a gas hob uses approximately 2.55 times more actual energy but still cheaper, ...
This article is not designed to be a book review. I have not read the whole book as yet: “The Manipulated Man” by Esther Vilar. Of course, you never heard of her. Who cares! To learn less do not read Wikipedia. I have read several parts of the book and will complete it soon. This ...
Within the area of knowledge dissemination, a concerning phenomenon has occupied my mind for many years. It is characterised by the propagation of misleading information cloaked in seemingly plausible rhetoric, often endorsed by individuals perceived as authorities. This phenomenon, is now coined by me as “sophistry-veiled untruths” (SVU). It poses a significant challenge to the ...
As I was saying…people are stupid and lazy! This is in a doctor’s forum, so the balance of probability is that the person making the OP is a doctor. Most lay persons do not know of the PANSS and won’t be seeking it. It is a highly specialised instrument. Do I give flying banana flamingo ...
