    admin got a reaction from Mic Drop in Anyone else shopping for a new insurance agency?   
    I currently use Hanover's and they no longer want to offer me the $100 deductible for my auto insurance and they raised even the homeowner's insurance.
    It's time to do some shopping.
    Any suggestions?
    My dad swore by State Farm insurance.
    Is there a good way to compare insurance agencies?

    admin got a reaction from Mic Drop in Odious opportunists   
    Scammers know no bounds when it comes to exploiting horrific events. Last month it was widespread hurricane destruction; this month, the mass shooting in Las Vegas. The tragedy sadly but predictably brought scammers out from under their rocks. A throng of bogus GoFundMe and other crowdsourcing pages sprung up in its wake (as did a number of fake charities), leading attorneys general in multiple states to issue warnings. (Pro tip: GoFundMe is vetting legitimate pages to support Vegas victims and listing them on its site.) It’s not just online operations defrauding the compassionate—be wary of “fundraising” attempts by phone as well. If a telemarketer calls claiming to be with firefighters or the police, for instance, let the caller know you’ll call the department back directly (and don’t give any personal or financial info to the solicitors). And if you get a text prompting you to donate (the American Red Cross is known to use this outreach tactic), make sure that it’s really the organization you want to help by verifying its number. In summary: Always double check by directly contacting the organization you’re interested in donating to. And be careful: Even a trusted organization’s website can be mimicked by slightly altering the URL (for instance, reddcross(dot)org with two “d”s—see how easy that was?). If you’re worried about the website, there are many ways to confirm that a charity is real, as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) points out. But what if a shameless charlatan hascontacted you? If you think they’re operating locally, let your state attorney general know. If the operation’s even bigger (read: national), let the FTC know.

    Is Amazon soon to become a regulated entity within the US as a shopping platform due to misuse? malfeasance?

    admin got a reaction from Mic Drop in Boeing 747   
    The first ever produced 747 -"City of Everett" - 747-100 flying alongside the brand new (first produced) #Boeing 747-400 over Seattle in 1988 
    The first ever 747 flight took place on February 9, 1969, and the 747 was certified in December of that year. It entered service with Pan Am on January 22, 1970. This aircraft, N7470 looks almost brand-new  at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.
    Tagged with the MSN 20235 and Line Number RA001, the first Boeing 747 ever built was a -100 variant testbed registered N7470. The jumbo jet prototype rolled off the production lines on September 30th, 1968, and was fitted with four Pratt & Whitney JT9D-3A engines (and then JT9D-7A) high-bypass ratio turbofan engines (preserved at the Museum of Flight at BFI since 2003)
    On January 26, 1988, the first 747-400 rolled out at the Everett factory, while the first 737-400 rolled out at Boeing's Renton factory on the same day, marking the first double jetliner rollout in the manufacturer's history.
    The first 747-400 (N661US) was delivered to launch customer Northwest Airlines (Preserved at Delta Flight Museum since April 30, 2016)

    What a load of rubbish
    What happened on the earth 10,000 years ago we can only guess
    where are the written records of let`s say 3,000 years ago
    Humans can only guess what happened in those periods
    that`s even if they ever existed

    Does United's move mean end of the line for the 747?

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-boeing-747-decline-htmlstory.html
    United said it will turn to 777 and 787 to meet its capacity needs.
    -----------------------
    I personally will love flying the 777 but will avoid the 787 completely. Some of you may know why already.

    The SR-71 Blackbird, also known as the world's fastest plane. This bad boy is capable of flying 2,193.13 MPH. During its time in the air, over 4,000 missiles were shot at it, but none ever hit. The Blackbird was so fast that missiles could not keep up with it. There were only 32 ever built. I tracked this one down at the National Air and Space Museum, in Chantilly VA. What a beauty.

    admin got a reaction from lauleb in JAB’s Reimann Family Owns Up   
    The Reimann family (believed to be the second-wealthiest in Germany with a $37 billion fortune) just confirmed its past support for the Nazi regime following a report alleging as much in one of Germany’s most popular papers.
    This is the family behind JAB Holdings. And even if you don’t know JAB, you know JAB. It’s sunk about $60 billion into acquiring brands that dominate many Americans’ morning routines—from Peet’s and Keurig Green Mountain coffee to Panera Bread and Einstein Bros. Bagels.
    Now-deceased members of the Reimann family used Russian civilians and French POWs as forced labor for their businesses and private villas during the Third Reich, and they contributed to Nazi organizations as early as 1931.
    The Reimann offspring said they’ll donate about $11.3 million after learning the extent of the family’s Nazi ties. Where the money will go? TBD. Zoom out: The Reimanns aren’t the first German dynasty owning up to Nazi ties decades later—other companies include Hugo Boss, Daimler, Deutsche Bank, and more.

    I personally love Red Robin's "Mad Love" gourmet burger.  It must be on my top 3 list of cheeseburgers.

    Ask for the "Campfire" sauce for your steak fries. Yummy. It is basically a mix of BBQ and Ranch I'm told.

    Documentary is a bit long 🙂 The road to WWIII seems a lot shorter.
    Quote: "Just as US State Department policymaker Victoria Nuland broadcast the US destruction of Nord Stream pipelines days in advance, Nuland apparently announced in a video conference with Kiev government officials that’s since been removed, her intent to ignite World War III on July 11th, 2023. Nuland boldly declared that World War III would be ignited on July 11th, the day that a NATO summit in Lithuania will convene".

    I first heard the term 15-minute cities only a few days ago and had to do as search as to what it meant. Getting around from any point A to any point B in 15 minutes was all I found. Offhand, that does not sound like such a bad goal, except you know the draconian means that will be forced upon people to implement such goals. These days a car is as much a means of protection from mugging as it is a means of transportation.

    admin reacted to Health and Medicine in Intravenous vitamin C for reduction of cytokines storm in acute respiratory distress syndrome   
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7172861/
    Over the past century, the opinion that Vit-C can be used to treat cancer and viral infection has shown promises and controversies. There are cases where high dose Vit-C has shown benefits. In some cases, there have been no benefits. However, new knowledge regarding the pharmacokinetic properties of Vit-C, and recent preclinical studies, have revived interest in the utilization of high-dose Vit-C for cancer treatment [[132], [133], [134], [135], [136], [137], [138], [139], [140], [141], [142], [143], [144], [145]]. Similar is the case of using IV Vit-C as antiviral, especially for the recent Covid19 [[146], [147], [148], [149], [150]]. It is believed that IV Vit-C has been particularly effective by inhibiting the production of cytokines storm due to Corvid19.
    Covid19 pneumonia is an extremely rapidly developing disease with a high mortality rate. The main pathogenesis is the acute lung injury that causes ARDS and death. Antioxidants should have a role in the management of these conditions. Appropriate clinical studies and reports demonstrate that a timely administration of high dose IV Vit-C improves the outcome of Covid19 infection.
    Additional studies detailing the use of IV Vit-C for the treatment of severe Covid19 infected pneumonia are definitively warranted. Covid19 may continue to happen in the future. Since the development of clinically active vaccines or antiviral drugs targeting specific diseases may take a long time to develop, the use of IV Vit-C as a universal agent for ARDS may have benefits behind Covid19. Additional clinical studies of the IV Vit-C and oral VC (such as liposomal-encapsulated VC) targeting other situations through different mechanisms are required to develop as soon as possible.
