(22 April 2022) To be honest I do not have much to say today. Of course I could comment on a thousand things but I don't feel like it. The spring has started and I am feeling lazy.   

Also I must clean up this homepage, because I did so many updates it is far too long already so better first clean that up and move on. So I scrolled down to see what had to be placed in the archives in order to free up a lot of space here. 

And I saw that funny infinitely long list again that has all kinds of counter examples to the last theorem of Pierre de Fermat and remove that because after all who is reading those archive files anyway? 

So we are going to recycle that old update from 01 Oct 2021 so I have an excuse to repost that funny picture. That is today's item: 

Item 1) Reposting the infinite long list of counter examples to FLT.

 Item 1) Reposting the infinite long list of counter examples to FLT.

This math was a bit around that modular arithmetic where we do the things modulo pq where p and q are two prime numbers. Those expressions you see below always are periodic, so you must not think that each expression is an infinite list.

The list might be infinitely long but each of the entries on that list contribute only a finite number of counter examples. For example in the first entry it reads that:

2^n + 3^n = 5^n mod 6. 

But 5^6 = 1 mod 6 so the 'exponential orbit' as I name it has a period of 6. A cute math fact of this long list is that the exponential orbits of 2 and 3 never go through one while their sum 2 ^5 does go through one. That property goes for all entries on this list

In case you like the kind of math with integers, may be you want to read my third oversight of possible counter examples to the last theorem of Pierre de Fermat:

Oversight of all counter examples to the last theorem of Pierre de Fermat, Part 3. 

Ok, that was it for this update. Hopefully I have cleaned this page a bit up the next time you visit. Thanks for your attention and see you around. 

(20 April 2022) First a few words on military expansion. Just this week I heard some good explanation as why the Ukrainian forces hold up against Russians so good. Of course there are many reasons for this but Ukraine had a conscript system for their army and everybody had to serve inside those contested regions. So most Ukrainian conscripts already had a good idea of how the Russians fight.

All those conscripts serve as 'seeds' so to say now the Ukrainian army had to expand that fast in the present situation. Back in the time before WWII, at some point the Germans were allowed to have an army of just one hundred thousand soldiers or so. They did it differently; most military personnel could serve up to three higher ranks. So any soldier could also function as a sergeant or sergeant-major. If you have that build in, it is possible to expand the military big time. 

__________ 

About that sunken local flagship the Moskva I don't have much to say. I welcome the official explanation by the Russians that it was a fire that caused a few ammunition to explode. Later due to rough sees it regrettably sank... 

Since there still is the possibility that about 400 Russian sailors also sank to the bottom of the sea, I will not make jokes about it today. The Russian society gets more emotional by the day with weird reports like moms disowning their sons or Russians that no longer want to talk with people they know from outside Russia.

So it still has to sink in that they were the ones who started this war of aggression, well only time will tell how that evolves further. Don't these weirdo's not see pictures of say Mariupol and think this is all normal? 

No jokes or stuff that hurts the feelings of our beloved Russians, only a small picture of those stormy conditions. I made the screenshot from a CNN video but did not save the link. Experts say this is likely the Moskva. It is a bit hard to say but we are looking at the back of the ship I think and that is why you do not see those characteristic cruse missile launchers because that is behind the smoke. Click on the picture for a larger version but the screenshot was grainy to begin with so the larger version is also not 100% instantly clear it is the Moskva:  

The reason for this update is that you often hear that when we apply an oil and gas embargo to Russia, within a few weeks they will run out of money. I understand the emotion and hope that this would be a short cut to end it all but sorry I have to throw a bit of cold water on it. So that is our item for today. 

Item 1) Will an oil & gas embargo against Russia end the war in say 10 weeks?

Item 1) Will an oil & gas embargo against Russia end the war in say 10 weeks? 

No it won't do the magic trick. It might be true that the income of the Russian government is say 50 to 50% from selling oil and gas. It might also be true that they don't have access to their oversees Central Bank reserves held by other financial institutions. But it won't do the trick.

How do I know that? Well I tried it myself and it did not work back in 2007 or so. 

From 2004 I started studying how the financial system works and believe me it takes a long time before you get some comprehension of it all. Anyway my plan was simple in November 2007: I activate once more the NightmareOnWallStreet and after that I hunt it down until the US military is out of funding.  

That was the plan so I activated my second NightmareOnWallStreet. At the time the DOW JONES was at a record level, something like 14 thousand or so. Anyway it was only waiting and in the meantime I filled the html pages of my activation with cute financial information. 

At present day this is known as the financial crisis. Now did the financial crisis lead to a 100% suppression of US military funding? Nope.

At one point in time the the US president of those days, the Dubya, simply went to the US Federal Reserve and he got a loan of one trillion US dollars because otherwise he no longer would have an economy... 

So my mistake, one of my biggest multi year blunders by the way, was that I had not anticipated on this. I mean that was a FUCKING TRILLION or one thousand billion US$.  

The political leaders that now ask for a fast reduction of buying oil & gas make the same mistake as I made in 2007: If all of a sudden Russia is without income from oil & gas sales, their Central Bank will print the rubles that Putin needs. 

Of course putting Russia into a oil & gas embargo is a significant step but it only will raise the inflation inside Russia and that can take a few years as history shows from similar examples... 

That was it for this update.  

(15 April 2022) That is a cute coincidence: Just last week I remarked that it would be good if heavy long distance artillery would go direction Ukraine and voila in the latest military aid from the USA contains indeed better artillery.  

For myself it becomes a bit confusing as what 'defensive weaponry' actually is. In the beginning it was clear: the Ukrainians needed for example anti tank ammo because one way or the other if your village or city is under attack you have the right to self defense. And at the time I would consider long distance artillery more as a offensive weapon. But for the country as a whole I can agree this is more or less for defensive purposes. 

The German Rheinmetal said they could deliver tanks, it will take some time but anyway what's in the pipeline is in the pipeline. There was also a short row about the detail that the German president was not welcome for a visit to Kyiv. Oh oh, I can understand the emotions from both sides. Yet in times like this it is better to ignore all that emotional stuff and concentrate more on that what is really significant.

Today the news came out that the Russian local flagship had 'exploding ammo' caused by a fire. Anyway that is what the Russians said. But the Russians say so much that can be doubted. May be flight MH-17 fell from the skies because of bad maintenance or whatever weird pipedream comes from that place. I just learned the Moskva has now sunk, when I made the next picture that was still unknown:  

So for me it was funny that within the hour I wrote that 'Go blup blup blup' text, the positive news of the sinking was there...;)

__________ 

Today's item is about the scale of stupidity and a few details that are so mind bobbling stupid that you might wonder 'Does this particular stupid thing fall from the scale of stupidity?'

Item 1) Bucha was an UK job & trenches dug at Chernobyl; off the scale?

 Item 1) Bucha was an UK job & trenches dug at Chernobyl; off the scale?

The Youtube channel IEarlGrey tries to be a bit more middle of the road kind of commenter on the war in Ukraine. An sich this is not forbidden, on the contrary with all news you must always wonder how much of it is true and what likely not.  

I did stuff like this myself during the war in Iraq. Beside the Pentagon tallies of dead and wounded I also visited a lot of alternative websites where much larger numbers of dead and wounded were reported. Anyway after a few months it turned out that almost 100% of the time the Pentagon numbers were the correct ones. And all those alternative websites were just emotional weird stuff.

Well you can learn things from that, now I am much faster at deciding what news to neglect and what to read.  

But the IEarlGrey guy goes much to far when he takes the words of Lukashenko for possibly true. President Lukashenko is a guy with in my view rather limited cognitive capabilities (that means he is a stupid person). So when he comes up with weird stuff like Bucha was a UK job or that his pal Putin started the war 'just in time' to avoid catastrophy, we are not dealing with superb intel from professional intelligence agencies but we are dealing with dumb and dumber.
Click on the picture for the video:

Link used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKShu_yUjrM

The whole concept of the Belarus intel agencies having supurb intel about Bucha being a UK job is so stupid, I think that later in life IEarlGrey will still be stupid. No, at present day Belarus is a joke of a country comparable to say Spain at the end of the dictatorship of their Franko.

On the first day of the war in Ukarine the Russians occupied Chernobyl. For the younger readers: Chernobyl is home to one of the worst nuclear disasters in the last century. As such the environment is heavily contaminated with all those nice forms of radioactive shit there is.   

Anyway already on the first day of the war you could filter out that Russia was on a war mission that was impossible. Securing Chernobyl was a way of avoiding a dirty bomb that would supposedly be made by "Ukrainian nationalists". Since that is not a realistic representation of the Ukrainian government, at that point in time it was already clear the Russians are fighting wind mills.

Now the Russian military has left the scene of Chernobyl, it turned out they did not have stuff that measures radioactivity. So Putin is planning his grand invasion of Ukraine for years and years but the military forces that attacked Chernobyl had no 300 US$ dosimeter for measuring radioactivity.

How stupid is that?

The dosimeters shown in the video cost only 300 US$, more advanced stuff goes for 700 or 800 dollar or euro so how stupid is our Putin doing his planning? 

If you want to buy one: http://ecotestshop.com/  

If your political leaders are stupid to the bone and rule a particular country for a long time, the whole country gets more stupid on all kinds of levels. Below you see a perfect example of how stupid the invading Russian military forces actually are: Digging trenches and stuff like that in the Chernobyl radioactive zone.

Video title:  See footage of Russian trenches in radioactive area
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HK_7gOkutw

That was it for this update. I wish the Ukrainians luck when it comes to more advanced and efficient strikes. All in all I am moderate positive on a good outcome for Ukraine, after all it looks like they are the better fighters.

Till updates. 

(08 April 2022) A short update mostly on Alzheimer for a change. So that is today's item. Now last Wednesday I was forgotten to explain why Lavrov is such an idiot so lets do that first: 

Russia called on the UN Security Council to come together to condemn that fake stuff that NATO is doing in Bucha. You know where all those dead civilians were found. Well a couple of hours later (or may be sooner) that news with the satellite images came out where it was demonstrated that those dead bodies were lying there for a few weeks already.  

At that point in time the brilliant Sergei Lavrov should have come out stating that these satellite images were computer generated images or CGI. Why didn't he do that? No idea but it could very well be that Sergei does not know what CGI is. 

Ok, lets go to our item on Alzheimer. 

Item 1) A relatively good video: Is Dementia Inevitable?

 Item 1) A relatively good video: Is Dementia Inevitable?

A long time ago I came across the results of some female researcher and she stated that she had mice in the laboratory that all had Alzheimer and the brains of those mice were all insulin resistant.

From that point on I considered Alzheier an illness mostly caused by a shortage of energy in the brain. Over the years I have found more and more evidence that supports this hypothesis of mine. Others think that those plagues and tangled stuff in the brain is a 'root cause' but I see that more as a symptom of the energy shortage.   

Now the brain is a rather complicated organ and the initial energy shortage gives rise to all kinds of symptoms like brain shrinkage and the building up of those plagues that later become causes of further brain  deterioration. After all in a complex dynamical system like the brain cause and effect can feed upon each other and even change role; what once was a cause becomes an effect and vice versa.

Furthermore it is important to stress there are many more factors involved like your genetic constitution, smoking is of course a thing and even your food. Our governments have promoted eating weird stuff for a long time. If you eat to many carbs or even sugary stuff, insulin levels rise and all fat burning stops. This simple mechanism is the main root of obesity: Obese are not obese because they are lazy or eat too much. They are obese because they cannot burn fat. And if you cannot burn fat you get hungry fast and need another dose of perfect food like bread. 

For a short time I had obesity myself, but that was about 30 kilo's ago and once you know why you get fat it is not that difficult to keep the weight off. But if you follow those stupid government advices and eat already bread in the morning, after any weight loss you will do the yoyo thing and get fat again.

So I know how it feels to have insulin resistance: Even after a large meal your hunger never goes away. And that is highly logical: if your body cells are immune to insulin these body cells do not take up the glucose and have an energy deficit just always.

The weird thing about the human brain is that it can become insulin resistant itself without the rest of your body being insulin resistant. I don't know why but it must have something to do with the huge amount of energy your brain consumes.

Inside the human brain there are places where even more energy is burned like in the hippocampus. The hippocampus is one of those areas very heavy influenced by Alzheimer. That is why I keep on thinking over the years that energy is likely the main cause of the onset of Alzheimer. 

In the video a graph is shown, it is a bit vague what exactly those standard deviations are on the vertical axis but it clearly shows that glucose uptake in the brain starts becoming deficit about 15 years before you have the diagnosis of Alzheimer.

Combined with the consumption of that healthy whole wheat bread every morning at breakfast this keeps the brain at an energy deficit all of the time. And, in my view anyway, this is what results in that nasty condition known as Alzheimer decease. 

Click on the picture for a larger version: 

The video itself does not mention at all that Alzheimer is mostly an energy problem. For me that does not matter, I am pretty used to the fact that my insights are never followed. Anyway it is a good thing people like that trace Hippocampal volume anyway and may in 500 years or so they will conclude: You should not follow the food advices from the 20-th century.

Ok, that was it. Tomorrow we will try to get more Russians in the place where they belong. Hey Putin how are your central bank reserves doing & funny stuff like that.

Till updates.  

 (06 April 2022) The last days it is more and more coming out how the Russian army has behaved in those occupied territories around the Ukrainian capital. Every body is shouting war crimes but because this war started without an official declaration of war the whole enterprise is illegal to start with. 

Of course all those executions and all those stories of rape are war crimes. Yet in my view this is simply what you get when you have a frustrated army given an impossible task of 'fighting fascism'. In large part this is a moral problem directly flowing from the Russian leadership. A guy like Putin might be a skilled parasite, but do not expect some kind of moral leadership from our presidential parasite...  

Ok, I think the time has come for much more heavy weaponry going to Ukraine. Good long distance artillery and the likes. These are not offensive weapons of course, no they are Special Defensive Weapons.

Two items for this update, in the second item I included some relatively large image files. They are like 7 to 8 mega bytes or 4000x4000 pixels. Lets go:

Item 1) Special Irritation Operation Part 5 of 100 (Foreign reserves fun).
Item 2) The Bucha massacre, are conscripts the only cause? 

 Item 1) Special Irritation Operation Part 5 of 100 (Foreign reserves fun).

Hey Putin my perfect presidential parasite, how is life going today? Today I heard that the evil Americans have frozen the Russian central banks further. Until now it was allowed on a case by case basis to use that for payment of Russian debt.

Someone told me that in your mind the two countries Ukraine and Russia are the same and I found that so beautiful. You have a great mind so I did some thinking myself. Of course I am not so good at thinking as you are, after all so many people say you are some savvy guy while I suffer from all kinds of mental handicaps.  

But I did my thinking and I was in harmony with the world because the next revelation came to my mind: If Russia and Ukraine are the same, in that case it is logical that their central banks are also the same. 

So from that perspective, all those frozen Russian foreign reserves could also go to the Ukrainian central bank. After all you Putin had the perfect equation like in: 

 Russia = Ukraine, so that in my view:
Russian Central Bank = Ukrainian Central Bank.

We will be glad to get all that money back to you via the Ukrainian central bank. I hope my dear Putin, this is fine by you. So Putin look me in the eyes and say "Thank you!, thanks for returning our foreign central bank reserves." 

Item 2) The Bucha massacre, are conscripts the only cause? 

In how far are those massacres in Bucha (and likely a lot of other places) an exception? Paint me a cynical person, I think that given the frustration the Russian military must experience this is pretty standard normal behavior.   

My own country has done similar stuff in for example Indonesia. One of them is the so called Rawagede massacre from just after world war 2. During the second world war Indonesia was occupied by Japan and as such the Dutch colonial rulers were driven out. The Dutch wanted it back, the army got mobilized and both conscripts and professional soldiers were send over there to take it back. The Indonesians wanted independence and as such the Dutch army had an impossible task.

In the end we lost and they won because they wanted independence 

In the Rawagede massacre Dutch killed all males from one village and for what? The Dutch were looking for only one independence fighter, the villagers did not want to tell anything and all Indonesian males got executed. It took over 40 years for the Dutch authorities to recognize that crimes were commited.

So stuff like that takes a long long time. 

Now to the recent Bucha massacres: Of course the Russian army is frustrated because the last two decades they had terrible political leadership. If your political leadership is highly parasitic on the nation and care more about their half a billion € super yachts and not that much in growing an economy for the common good, this is what you get:

An army without good and secure communication so you get that weird use of the Ukrainian phone network. An army that 'secures' the Chernobyl site without cheap gadgets for measuring radioactive radiation, as such they had a lot of radiation sickness over there. And so on and so on, the list of failures is very very long. 

The use of conscript soldiers is worrisome because a few months of military training is by far not enough. And when attacked from all sides, such conscripts easily adapt by making the war more ugly day by day. It soon becomes accepted to kill just every one, or at least as much males as possible, so once more it the Russian fm Sergei Lavrov says that only military targets will get attacked with only precise weaponry he demonstrates he is ripe for a mental institution.

But it was funny to observe the Russians asking the UN Security Council for an emergency meeting because of the 'provocation' done by NATO and the likes in Bucha. No no Lavrov, economical and financial sanctions will only increase and this on a multi decade time scale. Get used to it my dear mental hospital patient...

Let me put in place a few pictures:   

A somewhat modified version at a 2000x2000 pixel size is here.

Sorry, but for some strange reason I love all that burned out Russian military hardware...;) So one more for the fun of it:

The last two pictures took over one hour of work to craft, these are png files because I gave them no background. They are both 4000x4000 pixels in size and fall more or less into the category of war art.

Russia fighting fascism, 3band cube

Here is how they look in a 450x450 pixel size with a white background: 

And:

That was it for this extra update: More economical & financial sanctions for the long run of this conflict and more weaponry for the Ukrainians is what I hope for this week.

So see you around. 

(01 April 2022) Firstly I posted two new entries on the other website. I won't copy and paste the links as I usually do because they are so long but here are the two posts:  

Comparing the two sphere-cone equations. 

Last week I mentioned something as being the Ukrainian equation. You can find that in the above post although on the other website I do not name it the Ukrainian equation because I would like to keep all politics out on that website mostly about math. 

Two videos on electrons and the still missing magnetic monopole. 

The missing monopole video proofs once more that physics professors are rightfully classified as some form of math professor life. At best they are living fossils absolutely not capable of adapting to other things. It contains all the usual stuff like "If there was only one magnetic monopoles in an entire galaxy that would be enough" and more of that weird crap. Anyway it was a nice distraction to write that small rant. 

__________ 

Gas. From today on according to Mr. Putin we must pay in rubles and on top of that from today we have new contracts! Weeks before the war started when Nord Stream 2 was delivered I wrote an entry that if we put it in use we will likely regret that in the future. It would only be waiting until Putin would get some bowel winds again and voila for some weird reason that gas would not be delivered.
The rest is known, NS2 got postponed and later cancelled.  

Now for these new contracts I do not think such stuff is legal by any standard; you can't replace contracts one sided with zero consideration for the old contracts. Beside that by the sanctions it is forbidden for companies to do business like that in rubles. 
And once more I do not understand it. 

Suppose a company wants to buy rubles with euros and opens an account at a Russian bank. What is the difference between paying euros to that bank compared to paying these same euros to Gazprom? There is no difference beside the legal point that under the sanctions this likely is not allowed.  

__________

Our item for today is an analysis from the US and reported by CNN and others that Mr. Putin might be misinformed by his military. I found a nice picture about that but I do not know if the translation is correct and if it is from the recent events and not something say from two years back. But it's funny anyway, or may be it is tragic: 

Picture source (at the end of the video):

Item 1) US intel believes Putin is being misinformed by advisers.

 Item 1) US intel believes Putin is being misinformed by advisers.

The last weeks we have been seen all kinds of weird stuff like that long table that makes you wonder what is going on over there. Remember for example that Putin once said that no conscripts are used. Could it fucking be that he believed this himself? 

And remember that imbecile Lavrov saying that only precision ammo would be used against only military targets. Below you can see a before/after picture of Mariopol that clearly demonstrates that if there is one person ripe for a mental institution, it is Lavrov.

The Russians have been upgrading their military by about 10 years. And now we get this? This is a shitshow on so many levels. Take for example all those unsecured communications that are intercepted. Russian soldiers walking around with Chinese walki talkies and stuff like that. If you take a full decade to prepare for an event like this while upgrading your military, this is a total shitshow.

Click on the picture for the CNN video: 

Link used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh7zK9DZ6IQ 

I agree in large lines with this US analysis. But if true it also makes we wonder how long this already is going on. Stuff like secure communications should have been handled years ago. But there are hundreds of other weird stuff too.  

And that accumulates into crazy pictures like from Mariopol, or must I write that as Mariupol? Anyway, this clearly demonstrates that Lavrov is one hundred % ripe for a mental institution:

Oh yes that was also weird news: The Kremlin said that in order to gain some trust there would some significant reduction in military activity around the capital. With a soft smile on my face I can only advice the Ukrainian forces to keep on killing Russian soldiers.  

That was it for this update.  

(25 March 2022) First two pieces of weird news:  

1) In the UK there were people relying on food banks that turned down the offer for potatoes because they could not pay for the gas to cook them on... Wow, that is weird. Over there they brag they are not dependent on Russian gas and together with all those Brexit opportunities they would have stinking low gas prices by now.
Anyway I am lucky when it comes to the gas bill; my gas prices are locked in till end 2025. The other weird news is: 

2) I observed Putin stating that gas to so called unfriendly nations should be paid in rubles. And I did not understand that, why would that matter? It should make no difference if EU energy companies first buy rubles and the bill in rubles or that it is paid in € or US$ and the Russians buy rubles themselves...
As a matter of fact, it would be better for Russia not to get paid in rubles because in that way they can use the foreign money at their tactical advantage like every Monday morning. Propping up you local currency with foreign reserves works best every Monday morning and if needed some more flexible stuff in the rest of every week. 

So what is going on with this weird proposal of paying in rubles? Beside that how is this related to the content of the gas delivery contracts? I do not know much legal stuff but if in those contracts it says payments are in €, is a payment in ruble even legal? 

I have no idea, so far for this weird news. 

Before we go to the only item of this update, I want to stand still at why we are doing all this stuff like economical and financial sanctions on Russia. Ok the strategy is to lower the Russian economical output so they cannot hold up this kind of military. 

We simply have far to much of stuff like the girl below. Only 15 years of age and one of her legs amputated because the Russian army is supposed to liberate Ukraine from the Nazi regime.  

Video title: Heartbreaking images show wounded children in Ukraine hospital.

After having said that, lets go to today's item. 

Item 1) Torture for Russian soldiers: Math theorems without drinking Vodka!

 Item 1) Torture for Russian soldiers: Math theorems without drinking Vodka!

How do you get 50 Italians on the back seat of a Fiat Panda?
Very simple: First you lay a one € coin on the back seat.
After that you hang up a sign that reads:
Borrow one € at a 0% interest rate. 

How do you get 500 Italians on the back seat of a Fiat Panda?
Very simple: First you lay a two € coin on the back seat.
After that you hang up a sign that reads:
Borrow two € at a minus 10% interest rate.  

But serious: I am against governments telling companies what to do. Ok, we all need some rules and regulations but going away from Russia is a noble goal right now.

Just like it is important that also Russian naval vessels gets destroyed. 

Video title: Russian military ship destroyed in Berdyansk, Ukrainian Navy claims

Of course this is good news, the Russians simply cannot rebuild a ship like this without modern electronics. 

__________

In the last month I only wrote one new math post that I will publish on a short notice. This is a reduction of about 50% of my normal mathematical output and I blame Russia for that. So lets destroy at least 50% of the Russian economical output using the cognitive parts of our human brains. 

That was it for this update in this weird new world.
Till updates.  

 (20 March 2022) It is late at night so why not post a small update. I originally planned to finish a new math post but that is almost finished so I feel more like writing a few Special Irritation Operations...   

Item 1) Special Irritation Operation Part 3 of 100 (new crew on the ISS).
Item 2) Special Irritation Operation Part 4 of 100 (train wagon with body bags).

 Item 1) Special Irritation Operation Part 3 of 100 (new crew on the ISS).

It is important to remark that in general astronauts or cosmonauts are not allowed to make political statements. That is logical because often political statements can lead to emotional reactions in those who hear them. For example it would be weird if an American astronaut would advertise voting for donald trump because democrats are stupid anyway. That is not very handy.  

A few days back it was in the news that the International Space Station could eventually crash in Europe. That was a remark that was far too emotional. And if you constantly react on the emotional level as a small child, you ain't gonna win this war this so called Special Military Operation. 

Anyway it seems that the crews are allowed to choose their own outfit while serving on the ISS. So my dear Russians what you see is absolutely not a political statement because that is not allowed. 

(Click on the picture if you want a larger version.) 

Like said before: Just be creative. Ok, not every body is in a position to engage in this war but sometimes you are like when it comes to the economical sanctions and destruction of the value of the ruble. Just be creative... 

Ok, lets hope this is irritating enough...

 Item 2) Special Irritation Operation Part 4 of 100 (train wagon with body bags).

It was rumored that an entire battalion was killed. I didn't check the details but if correct this is only the first battalion to be wiped from the face of the earth.

Without doubt more will come soon because only now the arrival of weaponry has gained more momentum. If my memory still works I remember Putin stating that conscripts would not be used in military operations. And that other shithole Lavrov stating that "Only military targets will be attacked by precision weaponry".

Well my dear duo of shitholes, here are some cute bodybags likely filled mostly with dead conscripts.    

The beautiful and perfect irritation lies in the fact that the above are only whole bodies. So all those loose body parts like arms, hands or bowels blown out are not collected.  

Don't forget: If all info is more or less correct, this is only the first battalion!

Video title: 'These Are Relatively Whole Bodies': The Aftermath Of Russia's Battle For Voznesensk.  Link used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_84Vm4nG7lU

Ok, that was it for this short update.  

 (18 March 2022) There was funny news like insurance company Lloyds 'decertifying' those half a billion € super yachts. As such these yachts loose their insurance and they will run into similar problems as you when you drive your car uninsured trying to pass a police checkpoint... 

Sad news was of course that bombing of a theatre with something like 1200 civilians inside. Of course the Russians are denying they did it or will claim the Ukranians did it themselves or you get that stuff again like it was a base of military radicals just like with that children's ward.. 

Every body is fighting evil; the Russians fight the nazi drug using regime. The Ukrainians fighting the invaders and so on and so on. So how do stories like a children's ward being a base of radical militants come to life? Very simple:

Likely there were a few guards outside that children's ward, the Russians spot it and they see evil and as such decide to attack those military radicals. As a result 3 to 4 people lost their lives and that is a point of interest: The Ukrainians try to give realistic information, they could easily have said there were 30 to 40 people dead and most people would believe that. Of course the war isn't over by far but often that party of the conflict that tells the most incorrect info will eventually loose it. 

I came across a new estimate of Russian military death toll thus far. For the time being I skip the estimates from the Ukrainians and settle for some Pentagon tally published by the New York Times. It is surprisingly high at 7000 and it could very well be a more or less accurate estimate.  

Screen shot from an MSNBC video with the title: Rising Russian Troop Deaths Take Toll On Morale. Link used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqLu_MNGYW4 

The ruble recovered a lot this week. It is hard to estimate how much foreign reserves this has cost but it is as expensive a guarding a currency peg so that looks like a good way of sapping Russian foreign reserves further. 

Today we have two items: 

Item 1) Special Irritation Operation Part 2 of 100.
Item 2) Dr. Becky on one of the first James Webb telescope images.

 Item 1) Special Irritation Operation Part 2 of 100.

In the first place this is a joke: I will not write one hundred of these irritating things but until I get bored from them why not write a few more.

I have selected the famous "Go fuck yourself" against that Russian warship. It seems to be quite a thing on social media, I don't know because I hardly use social media. 

Later it was claimed that this Russian warship was lured to the coast and got under fire from short range artillery. But later again photo's dived up from that same boat so it is unknown if that ship was hit or not.
Anyway it seems that Russia has only three of these kind of warships so if they all three can be taken out and sunk to the place where they belong, that would be a good thing. 

So this second irritation operation is relatively mild: I did not include a screenshot from the video where they claim to have hit this particular vessel but instead a cute screenshot of a Russian armoured vehicle that was shot at with the right kind of ammo. 

Those Ukrainians are so cruel: Those Russian sailors on that warship do not have anal lubricants for males. That comes not in their daily rations like those lovely meals ready to eat. And using grease for the motor is bad for your health because it is rather toxic. What are these sailors supposed to do? 

Answer: Of course they must say "Blub blub blub" and sink to the bottom of the sea... 

 Item 2) Dr. Becky on one of the first James Webb telescope images.

If you get tired from the war you better do some other stuff and not follow the news all day long. I too consume too much war news but I won't get it go too far. 

Anyway, over on Youtube dr. Becky has a nice channel upon astronomy and of course I like astronomy a lot because after all the moon is a perfect space for say Russians to live...

According to dr. Becky what you see in the picture (that one star) are about one hundred times fainter than what your eyes can see. That sounds a bit confusing to me: that James Webb telescope has a huge mirror so it takes in a lot of photons otherwise you cannot reconstruct such a picture as below. So likely she means the wavelength of the photons; the individual photons have 100 times less energy as the minimum photon that can activate our eye cells for human vision. 

I am glad that this 10 billion US$ telescope seems to be working ok.

End of item 2).

At the end of this update I want to remark once more that the economical sanctions must be heavy and harsh. Only that will cripple the long term military capabilities of the Russian military forces.

So be creative. For example evading the SWIFT messaging telex system between banks is not that hard if some payment has to go through only one or two banks. Some people claim all you need is a phone or an email and a Russian bank can easily open a bank account at a foreign bank. Stuff like this can easily be countered by stating for example: "Ooh you want to open a bank account here? Well you are a bank yourself so you should message us via the SWIFT telex system. If not, you cannot open your bank account here. And by the way: Why not go home and fuck yourself?"

Ok, may be this is a good time to split. Think well my dear reader & don't forget to destroy the Russian economy while we can. Till updates. 

(16 March 2022) For a long long time I only posted updates on Thursday but because I actually posted it after midnight those all bear the dates of Fridays. Precisely three weeks ago when I realized that Putin was no longer a rational actor, I wrote that update like "Has the Vlad gone crazy?".
Anyway at latest I posted it on 02.00 hours local time, in Ukraine time that would be 03.00 hours and a few hours later the first Russian soldiers crossed the border with Ukraine. The rest is history.

I don't care about the specifics of Putin being crazy or at least has lost  contact with reality. But even a guy like Lavrov who he must known for years and years must stay at a distance.  

It makes you wonder where this particular room is. My guesstimate is that it is in a bunker relatively deep underground. Of course I have no proof for that, but look at this picture: Putin has gone weird, very weird to say the least.  

Item 1) Special Irritation Operation Part 1 of 100.

 Item 1) Special Irritation Operation Part 1 of 100.

Every day the other European nations watch at how the Russian army performs in Ukraine. A lot of stuff is totally weird like the lack of air power the Russians have. And why do those relatively cheap drones (they seem to cost 1 to 2 million apart from the ammo) have a relative big success?

It all baffles the mind, after all every year we got videos from Russia about their upgrading of the military forces and now we have this. A possible explanation is that all in all Russia is a corrupt country, that is why you have all those half a billion € yachts floating around while the average Russian GDP per capita citizen is only 10 thousand € per year.

That is not an economy, that is a joke.

It makes you wonder: Is their nuclear arsenal in a similar shape? 

Anyway, I love those videos where those Turkish drones zoom and lock in a target and BOOM there goes that Russian target. It is very uplifting to see so I hope there will be plenty of military hardware delivered to Ukraine so they can stage complicated and beautiful attacks...;)

I wonder if this update is irritating enough for the Russians. Hey Russians how are you doing tonight? Hey three weeks back just a few hours before the war started I posted this funny title for my update: 

Ok, lets leave it with that. Till updates my dear reader. 

(11 March 2022) Ok, you can't cram 100 things in one update. But I would like to remark that Russian death toll in Ukraine could be as high as 6000 right now. That is blistering much if later more or less confirmed. A lot of countries try to bring down their dependence on Russian energy sources; the EU is rather ambitious with trying to reduce Russian gas next winter to only one third of the present volumes. A children's hospital came under attack and of course because it is war there were accusations of that hospital being a base for radical fighters. 

I want to keep all madness out, so I will not comment on the likelihood of 'radical fighters' using a hospital as a base of operations. Nor again talking on those crazy narratives by the Russians that the Ukrainian government are drug using nazi's. It has only to be remarked that this crazy narrative is a clear cut proof that Putin himself has gone crazy or at least has a mental thing or two. 

Today I want to take a look at the value of the Russian Ruble and a video from CNN with a former Russian foreign minister. So lets go:

Item 1) The adventures of the Ruble thus far.
Item 2) Is Putin in the classic dictator trap? Does he have a mental thing?

 Item 1) The adventures of the Ruble thus far.

If a central bank has to defend the value of the local currency, they need foreign reserves for that. With the foreign reserves they buy the local currency so that it's relative value to other currencies gets higher. 

Because the Russian central bank assets are frozen, they often can't do that. Or not in a significant manner. Of course there are now all kinds of capital controls in place for companies that trade with other nations must change 80% of foreign currency into Rubles. But as the sanctions get more and more heavy the less foreign currency will flow to Russia anyway. 

So raising the interest rate to 20% is an interesting move, but that in itself is not a direct method of supporting the Ruble. Yesterday and today I made a screenshot, right now it is at about 150 Rubles for one Euro and my expectation is it will decline further and further. 

Click on the picture for a larger version (1500x2500 pixels): 

I juiced the picture a bit up with a photo from that air attack on a column of Russian tanks going into Kyiv. Video's like that are always big fun to watch. 

Anyway, the €/Ruble pair has already hit 170 a short time back so lets hope for the best but my expectation is a long path of decline. I have no idea where the bottom will be... 

 Item 2) Is Putin in the classic dictator trap? Does he have a mental thing?

When it comes to war or now we have this weird 'Special military operation' it is very often the case that a lot of false information is there. Or false beliefs and assumptions.

The last war or political action that my own country did was after world war II when we tried to get Indonesia back. Of course there was that underlying stream of racism like 'How can those people govern themselves?' But a main thing was that the Dutch were afraid of an economical collapse. It was phrased as 'Indie verloren, rampspoed geboren' what means like Indonsia lost, disaster will be here.
These were all false assumptions, of course there were more reasons as why we lost that war like international pressure from the USA but the false assumptions did of course play an important role.

Gulf War I: The USA senate or a committee thereof was told Iraqi soldiers removed babies from couveuses so they could bring those life saving devices back to Iraq. It was just a detail, totally false and fabricated, but soon thereafter the USA senate gave permission to start Gulf War I.

Gulf War II: People of my age likely remember that now infamous presentation of Colin Powell to the United Nations Assembly. I wanted to see that very much and I even stayed at home for that. It was a very good presentation, even I bought it.
Now we know there were no weapons of mass destruction at all in Iraq...

So war and disinformation feed on each other.

When it comes to the present weird stuff of a nazi regime in Ukraine, nonsense like that has lead to the present troubles. Because it is clearly nonsense you might wonder if Vladimir Putin has mental problems in any shape or form. I think he has.

The way it goes over there is not mentally very fresh or so:   

Another Russian weirdo is Sergei Lavrov, he is the foreign minister to Russia. He is very good at his job and with great skill he always defends the Russian position no matter what.

In the previous update I mentioned that shithole Lavrov said that the Russian military only strikes at military targets with precision weapons only. Of course in practice that is not how wars are fought let alone a bunch of Russian military with lots of cannons will do it. Try to explain that to shithead Lavrov...

Today I observed the Vlad stating that only professional soldiers and no conscripts take place in actual fighting. As far as I know the Russian military has about 80% of conscripts in its ranks. So conscripts not fighting points once more to Vladimir Putin having serious mental problems. 

The next video is rather interesting, CNN interviews a former Russian foreign minister. At the time shithole Lavrov was his deputy...
It is unbelievable but it looks true:  

Video title: Kremlin Vet: They’ll Overthrow Putin Before Giving Him ‘Bad News’ About Russian Setbacks In Ukraine.
Link used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MgZQOkP1yM

Ok, that was it for this update. Till updates. 

(07 March 2022) Back on 25 Feb I noticed the former Russian prez Medvedev saying stuff like "We will make gas prices two thousand Euro!". It seems that this is a measure per 1000 cubic meters, so Medvedev threatened us with prices of 2 Euro per cubic meter.
(Often gas prices are done in the energy content like the price per mega Joule or more likely per mega calorie. But you gas meter at home can only measure how much cubic meter gas you take in and on your yearly final calculation there is where the calorie settlement sets in.) 

Anyway it is clear that for the time being we still need the gas and oil from Russia but at the same time they use that money to fund the war effort and that is not a desirable situation. Is it possible to slam tariffs on all Russian oil and gas? I do not know if that is possible just like I did not know if Russian central bank assets could be frozen or confiscated.

It should not be that hard but I have never traded gas or oil so a lot of the detail are unknown to me. The basic idea is that all payments go via a new entity say the SOF (Special Oil Facility) and Russia gets only paid after the actual delivery of the gas or oil. They will get only half the market price to one third of the market price. That would mean tariffs in the range of 50 to 67% on all sold gas or oil.

In this way all buyers still pay normal market prices while Russia gets only a fraction of what they should have gotten else. The combined tariffs can later be used for the rebuilding of Ukraine.

In case Russia starts deploying chemical weaponry in Ukraine, the money can be needed to get more and more military hardware to Ukraine.     

It is just a proposal and to be honest I have never worked in an oil and gas trade environment so I do not know how this should be implemented in detail. But one way or the other we must prevent Russia being able to fund the war in Ukraine. 

__________ 

After having said that, our item today is a bit of fun around the penis of Putin. 

Item 1) Someone send me an email with Putin and his new girlfriend...

 Item 1) Someone send me an email with Putin and his new girlfriend...

Since Putin keeps on rambling about nazi's that apparently run the Ukrainian government, in my view he has at least a mental thing going on. At worst he has some form of some mental illness that will get worse over time.  

Could it be early onset of Alzheimer? No idea.
Could it be advanced paranoia? No idea. 

But with his new girlfriend all of a sudden he looks much younger so may be there is a tiny shiver of hope he will not get one hundred percent crazy. I have been told this is a classic Russian beauty: 

At first I thought "So what?" but then I received another email explaining that although she looks like a classic Russian beauty, females like this are also a backup house heating system... 

Females that are a backup house heating system? It sounds crazy but Russia is a very cold country and evolution is a powerful force in nature. If all of your females are also a back up house warming unit, in the cold environment of Russia that is what females like that give a survival advantage. 

But back to Putin now we know he is crazy. If he has Alzheimer he could also have erection dysfunction and that dysfunctional penis could lead to much more anger and frustration on behalf of Putin and before you know it we have a nuclear war.

So we must help Putin to put it in and why not a rubber penis? In that way he can have plenty of sex with his new girlfriend, that classic Russian beauty, and we will have no nuclear war at all but only peace in our time. 

Yes Putin, I know it is not the real deal but it is better compared to what you have right now between your legs and on top of that your new girlfriend will love it big time. Just give it a try and you will see that your new girlfriend is not only a backup system for heating just one family house but she can heat the entire Kremlin! 

This is an amazing world we live in, that is for sure! 

So Putin, now you know how to put in the stuff I want to show you a good joke.
It is called Gross Domestic Product per capita citizen and the data are from the World Bank. It says Russian GDP per capita is about five times as small as in our country.  

Click on the picture for a larger graph. The Russian economy is about 10 thousand US$ per Russian citizen. Of course that is not a real economy my dear Putin, that is a joke of an economy of course.

Why would Russia need a Central Bank with such a joke of an economy?
Come on Putin, with an economy like that all you need is a part time accountant that works for 3 to 4 hours a week to keep track of the statistics of your 'economy'. 

Hey Putin, I have a brilliant idea! We simply keep those central bank reserves so you do not have to think about how to use them and in return we give you a free copy of a very advanced computer program known as Excel. It is a so called spread sheet program and you can use that for all kinds of complicated calculations like 1 + 1 = 2. 

So Vladimir, deal or no deal? You get a free copy of Excel while we use those stupid Russian central bank reserves and you no longer have to worry what to do with that stuff.
On top of that we give you big dildo for your strapon so you can have sex with your new girlfriend that is also a backup heating system for the entire Kremlin!

__________

May be it is time to split. So my dear reader see you in the next update.   

(04 March 2022) Ok, the economical sanctions against Russia are on their way and I am impressed by the scope and depth of them. The Russian stock market is still closed, why they are so coward on that tiny detail is unknown to me. After all the wise and smart leader Vladimir Putin has spend years to make the economy sanction proof. For example they hoarded billion in central bank reserves and because the Putin is so smart those reserves are now frozen for a fucking long time... 

Last week I planned a math update for last Thursday but on Tuesday evening I came across that weird video from that idiot Putin and I understood instantly the guy had gone bonkers big time. So lets look into that in the first item and try to do a bit of math in the second item. 

Item 1) On the Ukrainian equation & the deteriorating mind of Vladimir Putin.
Item 2) A new de Moivre identity.

 Item 1) On the Ukrainian equation & the deteriorating mind of Vladimir Putin.

Last week I classified Putin as mentally ill. But it is not a medical condition although early onset of stuff like Alzheimer cannot be excluded. Compare Putin to say donald trump; in my view if you take a brain scan of the donald rather soon you will find the spot or spots where there is clearly a difference from the average person.
With Putin this might not be the case but if you see how the invasion of Ukraine is executed and what the motivation is (denazify and demilitarize) you understand there is clearly a mental thing going on.
Today I observed a former female prez to Luthania or so and she formulated it as a form of deteriorating mindset. May be that is a better way of saying what is wrong with him.

In another development I did see some video's with captured Russian soldiers who indeed all said they had no idea they would be send to war in Ukraine. At best they knew they would go on a peace mission. One of them said: This is not at all like it was shown on television. That is in line with what we know from Russian television: it has all kinds of narratives that are kinda weird like nazi's in the Ukrainian governemnt.
My point is those prisoners should not be open on such video's, at least their faces should be blurred. It is more or less illegal to treat them this way, beside that it you can recognize them from video later they could be prosecuted in Russia and locked up for many years. The BBC does it correct with blurred faces... 

The next kind of photo's will likely become a future icon like for example the "Road of death" related to the first war against Iraq from 1991. Like sitting ducks it is about 65 kilometer of armored vehicles that do not move day in day out.
I have never seen weird stuff like that: 

I had to cut the picture in two halfs because it was to wide. 

It is a pity that NATO air power cannot take a hit at that long column... 

A lot of Ukrainian people are angry because there is no declaration of a no fly zone. I understand that if you do not know much about military matters you get angry. But declaring a no fly zone could lead to a spillover of the war to other countries or the entire block of NATO members and as such likely it will become a nuclear war. 

That is not desirable, of course we will help the Ukrainian people with killing thousands and thousands more of those Russian military guys. 

At last my Youtube channel today spontaneously jumped to an interview with the Russian foreign minister Lavrov. I would never waste 50 minutes of my time on that worthless idiot but there he was doing his usual retarded form of logical thinking. 

And the idiot and imbecile repeated that Russian forces were instructed to attack only military targets with precision weaponry. Lavrov is such an idiot I am not going to waste my time on him. Sky news had a video about those "military targets" and the "precision weaponry" used...

 Item 2) A new de Moivre identity.

Last month on the other website I posted two posts about how math professors are just not capable of doing math with complex numbers in dimensions higher than 2.

Even for something as simple as finding the complex conjugate they are just too fucking stoopid to generate any significant results.

When back in 1990 I found the 3D complex numbers, very soon I had figured out how to find conjugates the way they were supposed to be.

Now 32 years later, the weirdo's known as the professional math professors are still doing it wrong. The idiots and imbeciles still think it is just a flip in the real axis. And as such they make no progress at all decade in decade out, century in century out.

But if you do it properly, you can find exponential circles and curves into higher dimensional spaces and with that comes the perfect fruit of new de Moivre identities.

In math right now there is only one de Moivre identity in use. May be you have used it yourself because it is a very handy way to reconstruct what for example cos(2t) or sin(2t) is expressed in the elementary functions cos(t) and sin(t). 

In the space of three dimensional circular numbers we have the next new de Moivre identity: 

So just like finding what cos(2t) is with the old de Moivre identity, the above shows the same stuff for the three dimensional circular numbers.

Let me close this long update with a numerical example that they actually work: 

So for those interested in math that is avoided by overpaid math professors, here are the two posts from last month from before the new war: 

Post 1: Once more: The sphere-cone equation. Link used:
http://3dcomplexnumbers.net/2022/02/10/once-more-the-sphere-cone-equation/

de-moivre-identities-for-the-3d-circular-numbers-2-videos/ 

Ok, that was it for this update. Work well and kill well. Till next update. 

(01 March 2022) That freezing of the Russian central bank assets was a brilliant idea! I had only thought of may be it is possible to exclude Russia from all gold transactions (because they have large gold reserves too). So that was a smart and good move: The Russian central bank could not as normal defend the ruble value with it's reserves but had to raise rates from 9.5% to a whopping 20%.

The ruble plunged 20 to 30% today but don't forget: It needs to plunge much much further preferably until we have an exchange rate of say one thousand ruble against one dollar or one euro... We'll keep an eye on that interesting detail. 

In another more Germany has raised it's military budget by 100 billion €. I have been asking for stuff like that for about 15+ years now I estimate. I am not frustrated at all by the slow progress, it is easy to understand why a lot of Germans do feel rather unease about that. I am not a war mongerer but too low military budgets only attract other armies as Napoleon once more or less mentioned. Anyway it is a good thing this is done so I want to thank Germany for that.  

I would like this update as short as possible so here we go with two video's from CNN: 

Item 1) WTF is going on in the Russian army?

 Item 1) WTF is going on in the Russian army?

A lot of military analysts express amazement by the slow advancements of the Russian army. I am not a military analyst but I am amazed too. Now lately we have observed that Putin has gone bonkers and some people argue that Putin might do his calculations but that they are inside a bubble not related to reality or for that matter military reality. 

It seems that since about 2014 the Russian media push the narrative that NATO attacks the Russian speaking minorities inside Ukraine and are causing genocide and stuff like that. 

That is blatantly total nonsense, all these years the death toll was only about 15 thousand and military deliveries were always withheld in order to prevent stuff running out of hand. 

For example most of the Ukrainians do not have good protective gear like helmets and advanced body armor. If there was some kind of proxy war between the NATO and Russia via Ukraine, of course we would have provided more body armor.
This is all so fucking stupid, it makes you wonder why the Russian media do stuff like that.

For the time being it is important that NATO forces stay outside of Ukraine. Luckily countries like Poland volunteer to distribute anti-tank and anti-aircraft weaponry to Ukraine. And let me state it once more: All those east European countries that want to join NATO, in my view it is now ok to join. 

After all we now have more clear insight in how Putin is getting crazy and as such all promises made in the past for not expanding eastwards are now zero and void.

I also observed some people stating that Putin has fell into the classic dictator trap: His subordinates cannot tell him he is wrong on just the smallest detail. Look at this crazy video for more details on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9A-u8EoWcI. 

In my view the higher echelons of the Russian army are not free thinkers. They must adhere to the weird and crazy view from Putin that the Ukrainian government is a bunch of drug using nazi's. So the poor Ukrainian people are under the whip of drug users that support the nazi ideology...
So if the Russian army would invade Ukraine, without doubt those poor people would welcome them with flowers and applause and of course a lot of fresh pussy that would love to have sex with those Russian war hero's.

In reality it all goes a bit different. Ukrainians don't want to live in Russia and they are willing to put up a fight. And that is what they do.

Didn't I say this update should be short? Yes, so here come the cute video's.
In the first CNN video you see lovely carnage of a few Russian vehicles.
It is claimed it was done with anti-tank ammo. Click on the picture for the video:

More of that lovely stuff is a video where a column of Russian vehicles were attacked from the back (there is lower armor at the back): 

The second video from CNN is also very interesting. They interview David Petraeus and that is my old opponent from the war in Iraq. Now David was a formidable opponent and he was really hard to crack back in those long lost years. But he never was crazy like we now have with the Putin that clearly has lost it in many ways.
Here is the video: Former CIA director: 'It’s going abysmally' for Putin
Link used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux51JTprqq4

Ok, that was it for this update.  

(27 Feb 2022) I never knew Putin could be this funny: I saw him in a video urging the Ukrainian military to throw over their own government. And once more that talk of the Ukrainian government as being nazi's and drug users. It is hard to say if these words were meant for the Ukrainian army (in that case we have one more proof he has a serious mental illness) or that these words are just for consumption inside Russia.

What the 'drug user' part is I do not know but the nazi stuff is explained for the young people in the last item of today. 

About 50 minutes ago it came to my attention that some Russian banks will be thrown out of the SWIFT messaging bank service. That is great, just one day ago countries like Italy were against it but I am glad that for the time being these hurdles are taken. An important detail I never knew was that SWIFT is just a messaging service, it is not an instrument for the actual interbank payments. I guess this more or less means that if Russian banks cannot use it, the obligation to say pay off loans is still there. So all in all it might less of a disaster for the EU banks compared to what I first thought of it. 

Two items for today's update: 

Item 1) Weapon deliveries at the Ukraine.
Item 2) What is a vodka drinker? What is a kleptocrat?

 Item 1) Weapon deliveries at the Ukraine.

Ok, Nord Stream 2 is now cancelled so that strategy has blown up for Putin. Now an important strategic objective from Russia is rather likely they will try to prevent the expansion of NATO eastwards. If my memory works properly, the Russians are in the right that in the past when the iron curtain fell promises were made that NATO would not expand to the east. But likely these were only verbal promises and they have never materialized into treaties in a more formal manner.
Now it has become clear that Putin has gone crazy, I too consider those old promises void and empty. So that is another strategic setback for our lunatic Putin.

As far as I am concerned, these countries are welcome inside NATO.  

Today it became known that my country will deliver 200 Stinger anti-aircraft rockets and on top of that German made Panzerfaust anti-tank boom things. Both bring a broad smile to my face. The Stinger makes me smile because hey we have some MH17 stuff still outstanding with the Russians. The Panzerfaust is funny because ammo like that dates back to World War II so the Russians understand a bit what is coming their way. 

I do not know if the Ukrainians are supposed to pay for this. I hope they get it for free as a gift. In my view we should keep on delivering weaponry to the Ukraine until at least an estimated 10-fold of Russian military personel are killed compared to the war act done against the MH17 back in the time. 

Of course it is hard to say now how long the Ukrainians can keep up the fight, but with some luck we could look at a few thousand extra Russian military dead and wiped out via for example life long handicaps, amputations and all those niceties of warfare. 

 Item 2) What is a vodka drinker? What is a kleptocrat?

When we hear somebody speaking about vodka drinkers or a kleptocrat, we here in the Netherlands and other EU countries instantly know that a vodka drinker is a Russian alcoholic while a kleptocrat is a person near to Putin that siphons money to outside Russia where it can be whitewashed.  

But when Putin is speaking about the Ukraine government as nazi´s, what does he mean with that? Stuff like that goes back to WWII. When the nazi´s invaded Ukraine they were welcomed very much. The Ukrainians were glad because they had suffered millions of deaths because of Stalin and his perfect insights. If you are young and never heard of the Ukrainian famine, you should look it up on the internet. As a matter of fact you can classify the Ukrainian famine as a genocide done on purpose by the Russians. 

By the way, I also found out what Puting means with the present day ´genocide´ that according to his is going on in Ukraine. That are the about 15 thousand deaths since 2014 when Putin confiscated the Crimea and as such started the whole thing. And now he is blaming the nazi´s from the Ukrainian government for that. 

Didn´t I say it a couple of times in the last five days: Putin clearly has gone mentally ill. 

Ok, that was it for this update. I wish the Ukrainian people luck in killing plenty of Russian slime. The first kill is always the hardest, after that you simply are a different person. But the Russians are there to destroy your country, so they must be killed. 

And NATO must be expanded, that must happen too.

At last a short message to that fabulous leader Vladimir Putin:
Vladimir please look me in the eyes:

Answer the question Vladimir: Do you think I will bow for you?

Ok, that was if for this third post in just five days.
Thanks for your attention and please free your 
mind from all that emotion. Think well and work well. 

(25 Feb 2022) I think I must do something that I do not like. But I want to apologize to the USA folks because only last week I made a bit of fun over them when it came to the Ukraine stuff. Ok, what they claimed did not come out (Russia staging a fake terror attack in order to provoke an invasion of Ukraine) but all explanations from the Russian side are just plain crazy. So the assessment of the USA was better compared to what I was thinking one week ago... 

Before we dive into that, the Nord Stream 2 is now gone so that is a good thing. Now a lot of people will say that is a bad thing but if Nord Stream 2 would have gone in work it was only waiting until Putin would get emotional once more and cut off the gas to Germany. Another hurdle is kicking Russia out of the SWIFT international payment system. There are some hesitations because European banks have something like 20 or 30 billion in loans outstanding and the payments of those loans go via the SWIFT system. So kicking Russia out will hurt the banks on that detail but there is also a bright side: These losses will make the banks much more hesitant to make future loans on a timescale of over one decade. And that is where I want the Russian economy to be: Massive damage for over one decade, preferably two decades. 

But Russians can also be very funny: the former prez Medvedev came out in an emotional way by stating that Russia would charge 2000 for gas! I do not know in what currency that was, is that like something of 20 Eurocent? Dumb idiot Medvedev: If Russia is outside of SWIFT, how will you sell only one cubic meter of gas????? 

Item 1) Is Vladimir Putin mentally ill? Part 2.

 Item 1) Is Vladimir Putin mentally ill? Part 2.

For me it is hard to react on what is stated as possible explanations and/or motivations for the invasion of Ukraine. For example the Putin speaks of genocide. Without doubt murder rates in Ukraine are higher compared to the years previous to 2014 but that is logical when there is a civil war stoked on by Russia. But weapon deliveries to Ukraine have been sparse all these years so that has prevented large scale genocide. 

So Putin speaking about genocide is a thing outside reality, that points to a deeper mental illness or at least not being able to grasp what is going on. 

Another very weird thing is that stating this invasion is needed to demilitarize and to denazi Ukraine. Once more: the Ukrainian nation is not a military threat to Russia and what our shithole Putin means with nazi's is unknown to me. As far as I know reality Ukraine is not a hotbed of nazi stuff.

Once more: Talk like this points to a severe cognitive malfunction of those parts of Putins brain that are not braindead right now. In my view this can be classified as being mentally ill. 

For some strange reason the Putin also warned that "There will be consequences the world has never seen before". With that he likely means the nuclear option.  

In my view it is unwise to bring this subject up. Now we are analyzing the mental state of Vladimir Putin and we are more and more accepting he has gone bonkers and is just too emotional. NATO no longer has an option of say throw the smallest possible nuke in a remote corner of Siberia. The only option is now a full blown nuclear assault concentrated on Moscow and make a smoldering radioactive pile of rubble from that city... 

So thank you Putin for pointing me to the way you likely think: along lines that other people could classify as being a mentally ill person. 

So far for the SWIFT evolving situation in the Ukraine. I am sorry for the banks that might loose some billions, it is also important that neither the ECB or any European government compensates for those bank losses because the goal is now to utterly destroy the Russian economy. 

Hey Putin you shithole: Do you think I will bow for you?
Of course you think that, that is why I classify you as some mentally ill person. 

Ok, that was it for this update my dear reader. Think well and work well and please do not let all those emotions get a hold of you.  

(23 Feb 2022) A short item upon the swift evolving situation in the Ukraine. 

Item 1) With Nord Stream 2 now gone, is Vladimir Putin mentally ill?

 Item 1) With Nord Stream 2 now gone, is Vladimir Putin mentally ill?

A common trait of so called autocratic leaders is that they hold on to power far longer than is good for their country. They lack the insight that they are not so ultra smart as the mirror tells them every morning. Some of those leaders have a lot of crazy others are better in hiding it or simply have much lower levels of being crazy. 

All these years I never considered Vladimir Putin a mentally ill person. I always operated from the hypothesis that in the end he will take rational decisions. Ok, the Crimea thing was a silly miscalculation on his behalf. The Vlad never expected so much sanctions for such a small piece of land. 

But now we have this weird speech out, I still have to see it in it's entirety but it is filled with really weird stuff. Did Vladimir Lenin create the Ukraine? I do not have a clue about that but at present date, that is Feb 2022, the Ukraine is a so called sovereign nation. As such it is rather weird that the Vlad can 'recognize' so called peoples republics inside Ukraine.  

If Putin does not understand the concept of sovereignty, in my view that is a clear sign he has lost it in a fundamental way. You know a long time ago Belgium was a part of my own country too. We have had a war with them and now they are independent for say 1.5 centuries. One way or the other Belgium is a sovereign nation, they might have a lot of problems inside that were not solved at all by the war of independence but it is no longer ours. So we cannot confiscate it entirely or only the Dutch speaking parts of it. 

The same goes for the Ukraine. For example Russia has handed out hundreds of thousands of Russian passports to the Russian speaking parts of the Ukraine. But that does not make it a part of Russia. At best those people can travel easily to Russia and build a better life under that perfect leadership of Vladimir Putin. 

Yesterday it was announced by Germany that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline will be postponed indefinitely. Likely one of the details that Putin did not expect, hey you imbecile: 10 billion € down the drain and you will be the laughing stock for a generation to come.

But serious: I am in favor of kicking Russia out of the SWIFT system plus of course tons of more sanctions. I know it will cause a lot of economical damage here too but now Putin is classified as a possible mentally ill person in the long run it could be the best option we have. 

Of course kicking Russia out of the SWIFT system for international payment should only be done if there is far to much military action in the Ukraine by Russia. 

From a very weird but short video from the Guardian I took the next screen shot of my beloved hero the Vlad: 

Video title: 'Speak directly!': Putin has tense exchange with his chief spy.
Link used:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9A-u8EoWcI

Oh yes Vladimir: I hope you understand I have spoken directly and clearly. Bye bye Nord Stream 2 and that is only the beginning. Or do you think I will bow for a piece of shit like you are?

In that case you are seriously mentally ill.

End of this update. Think will & work well. 

(18 Feb 2022) What a windy day today & tomorrow a fresh storm will be there. Today via a gust of very hard wind I was blown from one side of the bicycle path to the other side and there was nothing I could do to stop that. This was caused by a high rise flat near where I live and that flat is curved and apparently under the right conditions that can make it blow really hard. And it was fucking hard, I first had to walk say 20 meters before I could ride on... Anyway no one was hurt or so.

Today I have three video's that cover a wide spectrum of human behavior. From weird diplomacy to a very retarded Brexiteer and as vid number 3 a perfect experiment done with water (water is an electric dipole, that is important here) that once more shows that electrons cannot be tiny magnets. Lets make 3 items out of the 3 video's:  

Item 1) Could Russia trigger a fake terror attack? Was 911 an inside job?
Item 2) The weird world of Michael Heaver: Plan To REJOIN EU Exposed.
Item 3) Thunderfoot debunks Vertitasium and helps debunking electron magnetism.

 Item 1) Could Russia trigger a fake terror attack? Was 911 an inside job?

With bewilderment I was looking at the USA envoy to the United Nations. He was explaining that Russia could in an extreme case just fake a terror attack to justify an invasion of the Ukraine...
In my view talk like that falls into the category of conspiracy theories, just like those people that think that the 911 attacks from the year 2001 were an inside job done by the USA.
Is it that hard to understand what the Russians and Vladimir Putin want? They want safety within their borders and be free from a foreign attack by NATO forces or so. 

I don't think Russia will invade the Ukraine. In the first place a whole lot of gas is sold and transported via the territory of the Ukraine. If there is war this gas stream will likely be damaged a lot and as such no natural gas can be sold. On top of that the new Nord Stream 2 will never open and if the Russians have bad luck things like preventing use of the SWIFT system for international payments will be put in place. So invading the Ukraine is not a rational thing to do... 

If I remember it correctly, Putin's mother was in one of those cute World War II things known as Stalingrad or the Leningrad siege. For those who never studied those parts of WWII you surely must do that at least once in your life. Stuff like that was so horrible that it looks logical to me that Putin wants to prevent stuff like that at all costs.

 Item 2) The weird world of Michael Heaver: Plan To REJOIN EU Exposed.

In general Brexiteers are stupid people because if you think that throwing up all kinds of barriers to trade is good for your economy, you have at least one screw loose. Brexit is appealing to people that have under average cognitive levels, to be precise: only if you are stupid enough you think Brexit is a good idea. 

I sometimes look at the video's of Michael Heaver just for entertainment. What weird stuff has Michael today? Today he discovered a secret plan to REJOIN THE EU! Sheer panic of course. Luckily we have the cool and committed Michael to explain this all to us and as such prevent a horrible REJOIN THE EU! 

There is so much nonsense going on in the UK. Brexiteers think that the new blue passports were forbidden by the EU. Brexiteers think that the old and impractical imperial measurements were forbidden by the EU. Brexiteers think this and they think that, very often it is not rooted in fact but more in fantasy. 

Video title: Plan To REJOIN EU Exposed
Link used:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p7IQLJCd-s

For example those freeports that are embraced by the Brexiteers, it was David Cameron who back in 2012 or so did end the freeports they had at the time.
It was never a thing that is not allowed by EU rules & regulation. But trying to explain that to idiots like Michael is a work that will take at least 5 centuries of time... 

 Item 3) Thunderfoot debunks Vertitasium and helps debunking electron magnetism.

About one hundred years back in the year 1922 the so called Stern-Gerlach experiment was done. A beam of silver atoms was split in two by a magnetic field. I went totally crazy when I learned about the SG-experiment for the first time. How the hell was this possible because after all the overpaid idiots known as the physics professors always tell us there is only one kind of electrons? And all these electrons are tiny magnets that either align themselves with an applied external magnetic field or that they anti-align with that magnetic field. 

One of the detail I could not understand was: Why would an electron anti-align itself with an external magnetic field? That is just like a compass needle turning into the wrong direction and instead of pointing to the north it does the opposite.

Anyway in a few days I figured out that if electrons carry magnetic charge, the results of the SG experiment could be explained in stuff that was far more logical. If electrons are not tiny magnets but instead are magnetic monopoles all of a sudden a whole lot of things become much more logical. 

In the video Thunderfoot shows that water molecules (that are electric dipoles) never split in two streams and that the whole process of 'anti-alignment' just never happens in water molecules.  

After so many years and about one hundred reasons as why electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles, this is one more for the road we are driving on. After so many years I still have to find that one shiny detail that proves the overpaid idiots known as the physics professors are in the right and I am in the wrong with my ideas about magnetism... 

The video is about 30 minutes long and there is a whole to unpack in it so better view it twice to get some better comprehension. Electric fields only attract an electric dipole because that anti-alignment is just a fantasy.  

Video title: Veritasium: BUSTED!
Link used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hyy1zRZPiQ 

My dear reader: Please do not think that by showing you this video on the behavior of water molecules is an attempt by me of convincing you of my ideas of electrons being magnetic monopoles. 

Last year in 2021 I changed policy and classified the physics professors as the same kind of shit as math professors: BETTER AVOID THEM LIKE THEY HAVE THE PEST.

Ok that is what I had to say today. Think well and work well. 

(11 Feb 2022) Yesterday on the other website I posted a piece explaining how to find the so called exponential circles. Since it is still a miracle why the professional math people could never find 3D or four dimensional complex numbers, in part this lays in the fact that likely they always take conjugation the wrong way. And if you do that, in part that could explain as why century in century out they make only so little progress on that detail of math known as complex analysis. Link : Once more the sphere-cone equation.  

This update has two items, one is that partygate in the UK scandal and the other item is about Paris and how they are trying to transform it into a city for bicycles! Yes I know it is unbelievable but Paris is turning into a more healthy kind of city. Lets go: 

 Item 1) The whole country in a lockdown but we keep on partying like hell.
Item 2) ????? Paris a bicycle friendly city ?????

 Item 1) The whole country in a lockdown but we keep on partying like hell.

It is said that the London police, I think they are nicknamed the Met, have changed their mind over the Downing Street 10 scandal four times. And in the fourth time they asked to withheld all information about the parties that they are investigating. A lot of people think there is some conspiracy going on but likely they uncovered more and more damning details that point to relative severe rule breaking. 

Don't forget that lately a lot of toilets have been investigated on drugs use, both in the UK parliament and also on Downing Street 10. It was said there were all kind of traces of a particular A class of drugs (likely cocaine) but more has not come out. 

It could very well be that all those parties as Downing Street 10 also involved a lot of drugs use. I am not surprised by anything now we know the BoJo government a bit better after a few years of looking at all that chaos. 

A very funny video is from a guy named Mark Steel who is very good at imitating the voice of the BoJo. Click on the picture for the video:

In a development not related to partygate but to the traffic troubles in Dover I think today I observed the most stupid and retarded Brexiteer until now. It is so stupid that it is also possible this female is just joking in the UK parliament. She claims that the Dover traffic jams have nothing to do with Brexit but are caused by the burocracy of the EU. If she really means that it makes you wonder why the British people vote such a piece of weird human into their parliament.

Yes I know we have Geert Wilders in our parliament but in this country we have representive presentation. We do not have voting districts where only one candidate goes to the parliament. As such there will always be some reservoir of people voting for that piece of human waste known as Geert Wilders. Anyway click on the video for looking at that weird weird UK mp:  

Video title: Brexiteer Complains About Dover Traffic Jams!
Lin used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN01M8DJDhg

Please take into account that Brexit is a form of ideology that is attractive for stupid people. If you think that raising barriers in trade is good for your economy, you are very very stupid. 

 Item 2) ????? Paris a bicycle friendly city ?????

I missed this development completely but it seems a miracle is happening in Paris: it is trying to get more bicycle friendly! Of course the pandemic has a lot to do with that because the local underground or the Paris metro is of course a perfect place for transmitting the new corona virus. And by having a better bicycle infrastructure people can avoid the metro so this is a good strategy for beating future outbreaks of new pandemics... 

There are all kinds of reasons to have a better bicycle infrastructure: climate change, the obesity pandemic, jammed cities, bad air quality and so on and so on.
If Paris can make such a transition a lot of other cities could do that to.  

Without bragging, likely my home country has the best bicycle infrastructure in the entire world. But we have been building this for say 40 or 50 years so other countries and cities must not think you can do this in just a couple of years.

I have never been to Denmark but experts say that if you want to know how to transition to a more bicycle friendly city or nation you should visit that country so you can see how to do that on the cheap. By the way, Denmark itself thinks too they have the best bicycle infrastructure in the world... But serious: a lot can be done on the cheap. It is very much a mindset that has to change and not always give priority to those fucking cars on every level of government infrastructure planning.

Ok, that was it for this update. Thanks for your attention & don't forget to ride your bike always more kilometers as you do with your car!

((04 Feb 2022) Ah the results of the blood tests are in and I am a happy guy! No liver damage and no kidney damage at all. You might think that is pretty normal but you don't know how much alcohol I have consumed over my lifespan. For example when I was 15 every Friday afternoon with a group of peers we drank two liters beer. And that was just after school every Friday afternoon with an entire weekend still before us. So for the time being there is no reason to worry or to panic and for all that gout stuff there is even medicine that suppresses the levels of uric acid. For the time being life is good...;)  

Today two items, one about intermittent fasting and in the USA the Federal debt climed to over 30 trillion US$ or about 130% of the present GDP..  

Item 1) Intermittent fasting; good for the brain? Yes.
Item 2) Fresh record in Federal debt in the USA; 50 trillion here we come!

 Item 1) Intermittent fasting; good for the brain? Yes.

An unknown number of years ago I came across that insight that Alzheimer is an energy problem in the brain. To be precise the brain gets insulin resistance independent of the rest of your body and as such it cannot take in glucose from your food or the glucose that your liver makes. The result is a sad condition known as Alzheimer where the brain deteriorates more and more and it looks like there is nothing that can help and turn that around.

When I was bordering on the edge of obesity one decade ago I had insulin resistance myself. And it is a stupid state your body is in: no matter how much you eat you are always hungry. Most obese people are hungry all of the time if they have insulin resistance. The root cause is modern food and the food advices from our governments. They advice you to eat lots of carbs all day long and that is what keeps your blood sugar levels elevated and as such your insulin levels are too high to be able to burn fat. For most teenagers those food advices are ok but if you age you should eat less and less carbs. People often think that sugar is the preferred food for your body because that is what your body takes out of the blood stream first. But no, elevated blood sugar levels are poisonous for your nerve system and that is one of the reasons your body takes that our first. It wants to remove that poison... 

Intermittent fasting is something I have been doing for a year of four, may be five. At most I go about 16 hours without food and I feel fine about that. And when I go hungry I eat something but most days I just do not get hungry because the fat burning prevents that I feel hungry. Back when I was far to fat I often woke up in the middle of the night from hunger; that is a clear sign your body cannot burn fat even in the deep hours of the night. And that is also how people become obese in the first place: It is not they are lazy or eat too much. It is that they cannot burn fat and as such get hungry far too soon and often eat stupid stuff like bread and that bread ensures you cannot burn fat for another six hours so you get hungry and so on and so on. The obesity cycle is ruthless: always hunger, never satisfied and no matter how much you eat the hunger does not go away.

At the Radbout hospital they looked a bit into the intermittent fasting thing and found out it not only helps with Alzheimer but also conditions like epilepsy and multiple sclerosis. 

The human brain is a big energy consumer. You hear often that about 20% of all the energy your body uses goes to only 2% of your body and that is your brain. So if you have starved your brain a few years from enough energy to function properly, my guess is that it is too late to repair the damage with intermittent fasting. 

But if you start in time and simply neglect all those weird food advices from government departments, it might very well be you can prevent Alzheimer and stuff like that.

And these semi-official government departments they can be really stupid. For example a few months ago our Voedingsbureau (the Food Buro) came out with the next advice: If you have diabetes type two you should stick to the official guidelines around food.
But in those official guidelines is weird stuff like you must eat breakfast and you must eat bread and all that kind of stuff that gave you that diabetes in the first place. 

Lets leave it with that, I only have one link to post and I am sorry but it is in the Dutch language: Gelderlander.nl/radboutumc  

 Item 2) Fresh record in Federal debt in the USA; 50 trillion here we come!

Today I was looking at a video from Deutsche Welle about the record breaking 30 trillion threshold in Federal debt that was taken recently. And they had invited some kind of 'expert' that was supposed to shine a light on things. This 'expert' soon was found out to be a total idiot when he stated that this might sound like a big number but if interest rates in the future are below of the GDP growth rates, there should be no problemo.

Seldom I observe such an overpaid blah blah blah idiot. This 'expert' has only a very limited understanding of the debt situation in the USA. They are in a classic debt trap and with that I mean no matter how much fresh debt they take on it is impossible for the US economy to pay this debt via the mechanism of tax collection.
The wealth in the USA is far to skewed distributed and they refuse to let pay the billionaires a reasonable amount of tax because for some strange reason these billionaires must be worshipped because they are rich. Cutting spending on social programs is not reasonable because the poor part of the USA is already very poor. And try to cut back on military spending? Well give it a try but likely you will fail on that spending detail too.  

In my view it is not that hard to estimate what the future development will be for say this decade: More and more the Federal Reserve will finance the debt and not the tax payer. In the meantime a lot of international investors will keep on thinking that USA Federal debt is a solid investment grade opportunity to safely park your money.

It is surprising the US$ still has reserve currency status, of course that is also a TINA effect. TINA = There Is No Alternative and that is true. The European Central Bank is also a laughing stock because they were that stupid to go and buy up European government debt and at present date refuse to raise rates in order to fight inflation. No the € is not a replacement for a reserve currency. That would only make the € too strong and after a few decades we would have the same troubles as the USA has at present date. 

I do not want a new continent full of lazy dumb and obese people, so please no reserve currency status for the €...

In the meantime the US Federal debt is only 90 thousand US$ per capita citizen, if you need a good joke think about how this could be paid back via the mechanism of taxation. Will they tax Elon Musk, Bill Gates or Warren Buffet? Of course not, the Federal Reserve will step in with future programs to pay for the USA Federal debt. 

Till updates my dear reader.  

(28 Jan 2022) The Ukraine situation is getting weirder and weirder; why does the USA withdraw it's embassy staff? Do they know something we do not know? Or is it, just like the Afghanistan mess, a misjudgment? For myself speaking I do not think that Russia will invade the Ukraine in a short span of time, but back a couple of years it was also not expected that Russia would confiscate the Crimea.
The Russians are angry because they say it was promised that the NATO would not expand eastwards. NATO and stuff is denying this. Yet if I dive deep in my unreliable memory, there were indeed some promises of that kind made in order to sway Russia away from the territory of the former DDR. As a matter of fact back in the time (about three decades back) the Russians did not even have money to pay for the withdrawal of their troops from the DDR, so that was paid in a large part by the West.
Well lets wait and see how stuff evolves, yet I do not expect a military conflict on a short notice...   

In another development it was reported that the Chinese tokamak nuclear fusion reactor has burned for about 1054 seconds at about 70 million degrees Celsius. That is a very long time, over 15 minutes and if my insights in plasma behavior match reality this plasma should get unstable. At first I did not want to read that news because it also said the Chinese fusion reactor costs about one trillion US$. But the ITER machine in France is much much bigger and that is now in the order of 20 billion and compare it to the James Webb space telescope that is in the order of 10 billion. Why would the Chinese EAST fusion reactor be so much more expensive?
So this news does not look very reliable and may be the instability stuff is simply not reported. It has to be remarked that likely the Chinese kind of fusion reactor, if it is turned on also has a big electrical current running in it. That current creates a magnetic field that is stronger in the middle and that is what should prevent the super hot plasma touching the walls anyway. So after waiting for so many years finally a fusion reactor that runs longer then just a few seconds but now the result is not what I expected. I guess we have to wait longer...:(
Here is one of those bad reports missing all kinds of info, it if from the Independent:
China's artificial sun sets new record.    

Our item for today is another Brexit item; it is still fascinating how a nation can get crazy and just go on with it like that is normal behavior.  

Item 1) Long queues of trucks at Dover; is the party getting started?

 Item 1) Long queues of trucks at Dover; is the party getting started?

The UK has begun implementing checks for stuff that comes from the EU. Until 01 Jan of this year everything got just waived through because they were not able to build up staff and facilities to do those kind of checks. Why all EU countries could cough up the staff, procedures and facilities to do checks is still unknown.  

Anyway at first I did see a video of a Dover port spokesperson or may be a CEO and he explained all stuff via refurbishing just one ferry. It all sounded reasonable, after all the guy works at the Dover entry port so he should be good informed. 

Then other people point to the fact that every year in Jan & Feb it is relatively quiet and therefore ferries are always maintained in that period of the year before the traffic picks up end March & begin April again.  

So the journalists from Byline started investigating the stuff because all those miles of trucks was nowhere reported in the UK media. And all truck drivers they spoke had to wait many hours, 10 hours of extra waiting is nothing it seems. And all related to the extra paperwork, all that red tape that is caused by the Brexit. One guy was waiting for four days... Video title: Furious Lorry Drivers Stuck For 17 Hours In Dover Queues
Click on the picture for the video: 

Oh oh, those ultra imbeciles and idiots from the European Research Group, they concentrated for decades on all that evil red tape coming from Europe. At best that was two hours of waiting and now there are examples of four days waiting incompetent weirdo's like Jacob Ress Mogg stay silent month in month out.

Jacob should apply for a lot of honorary math professor asignments; he is clearly stupid enough for that and universities are always on the look for new idiots they can make honorary or even real math professors... 

Two weeks back I showed you the next picture, say for yourself this is not normal. And waiting two weeks for an explanation of why this happens during dark and only getting 'It is just one ferry in refurbishment' that causes this, that is of course 100% bull shit. 

It has to be remarked that the UK has only a very limited implementation of border checks. Yes we have had all those years of 'taking back control of our borders' but if you have idiots from the ERG at the helm it is only expected that this party is only getting started.  

Likely it will get much more worse in the coming months.
Lets leave it with that for this update.  

(21 Jan 2022) Today was a very interesting day because after a waiting period of only 55 days I was able to see a more specialist doctor at the local academic hospital. So I hope a good diagnosis can be made of what I actually have, my estimate is that it is more than just gout. So lets wait until the results.  

Today I did not feel like diving into the Brexit stuff or all that weird party stuff (it is now called partygate over there). I recently found a video channel about physics and cute historic facts that most of us included me did not know. 

So lets go: 

Item 1) Kathy on JJ Thomson & his discovery of the electron.

 Item 1) Kathy on JJ Thomson & his discovery of the electron.

I love her vids, every day I look at a few of them. It is much better compared to a lot of those television physics professors explaining we might live in a multiverse with only 10^500 universes. Or that you can fine tune the electron into a superposition of spin up and spin down, you can make a qbit from that and if you have a few hundred qbits your quantum computer has much more possible states as there are particles in the universe... 

Let me imitate that stupid mumbo jumbo with a hydrogen atom: 

I hope you consider this weird mumbo jumbo; if you separate the electron from the proton in a hydrogen atom it is plain stupid nonsense to say the two particles are in a superposition of being an electron and a proton. But when it comes to electron spin all those weirdo's tell you in your face it is possible without giving only the most rudimentary explanation. 

Back to Kathy and her video channel. I selected her Thomson video because of my interest in electrons and because it contains a very interesting detail that was unknown to me: Heinrich Hertz also tried to make a so called cathode ray moving with electric fields but failed in that... 

Kathy explained the failure of Mr. Hertz because the vacuum in his cathode ray tube was not good enough. The electron beam ionized the air around it, therefore it became conductive and acted as a Faraday cage ensuring no electric field could move the electron beam.

Now that is lovely science as it is supposed to be and not all that weird string theory stuff where they think they have a theory of everything. All theories of everything now and in the future will be wrong because it will always have one detail that is wrong. For example electron spin; the fuckheads have zero experimental proof that the electron is a 'tiny magnet' and because these physics professors are dumb fuckheads with that they even do not realize the importance of such an experimental proof. 

If you click on any of the two pictures above you will land at the video from Kathy.
Link used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3c77C-69wg

The interesting detail is of course that electrons could have been discovered much earlier if Herr Heinrich Hertz would have had a better vacuum tube... 

That was it for this week. See you around in a fresh update. 

(14 Jan 2022) It looks impossible but in my country hospital admissions related to COVID-19 are still on the decline. Yet it is hard to estimate how the situation would be without all those extra measures that are in place like non-essential shops closed. 

In the meantime Brexit is going it's own destructive course, new is of course that there are now checks at Dover for stuff that goes from the EU to the UK. It is only partial because the UK government is not capable of organizing the stuff they dreamt of for years and years.  

It has to be remarked however that this is not only caused by the new checks, it is also the COVID-19 checks that cause the extra waiting time. On all those booze parties at Downing Street number 10 during the lockdown, I do not have much comment. It demonstrates what a lot of people are already thinking for years: All those Brexiteers are stupid to the bone. That was clear from the onset of course: if you think that Brexit is good for your economy you are stupid to the bone. 

There was more fun out the last week: We have finally a new government and on the department of education we have a string theorist! You fucking don't believe it but his name is Robbert Dijkgraaf and I turn this into today's item because I had to laugh hard and long when it was in the local news: "Top scientist becomes new minister of education." Most of this item will be in Dutch because I imitate a press conference where journalists from Dutch magazines ask questions at Robbert.
Here we go: 

Item 1) Questions for Robbert Dijkgraaf (Vragen voor Robbert Dijkgraaf).

 Item 1) Questions for Robbert Dijkgraaf (Vragen voor Robbert Dijkgraaf).

Dames en heren, welkom op het ministerie in deze moeilijke tijden. Nu we een nieuw ventilatie systeem hebben kunnen we dit weer hier organiseren en hoeven de meeste persvragen niet meer exclusief online gedaan worden. We beginnen met Sacha van de Libelle. Sacha? 

Oh ja, mijn naam is Sacha Paalvangst van de Libelle. Onze lezers willen al jaren lang graag dat de huishoudschool terug komt. Daar kunnen de meisjes eindelijk dingen leren waar ze later wat aan hebben inplaats van al dat rare gedoe zoals een abc formule of nog gekker a kwadraat plus b kwadraat is c kwadraat.
Zou het niet veel beter zijn als de meisjes leerden koken? Bijv koken op aardgas, koken op electriciteit en ook op keramische kookplaten?
En denk eens aan al die mogelijkheden tot verdieping: Stel je hebt een houtvuur en een gietijzeren pan. Nou hoe krijg je die stapel poepluiers schoon en netjes?
Wat is uw mening daarover?    

Robbert D: Voor zover ik weet is er voor deze doelgroep het vak verzorging. Voorlopig brengen we de huishoudschool niet terug omdat we in het verlegen goede redenen hadden om te stoppen met deze vorm van onderwijs. 

Dan gaan we nu naar de redacteur van !!Geert, Peter ga je gang. 

Graag, mijn naam is Peter Paalschieter en ik ben redacteur van het magazine !! Geert. Onze lezers ergeren zich al jaren aan allerlei onjuiste feiten die er rondgaan in allerlei vakken in het middelbaar onderwijs. Zo is er een rotte onderlaag in onze maatschappij en het hele onderwijs doet net alsof die niet bestaan.
Maar feiten zijn feiten en het moet eigenlijk in een vak als biologie toch kunnen dat je gewoon zegt dat er een groep mensen is waarvan de mannen een gemiddelde penis lengte van maar drie centimeter hebben. Dat zijn natuurlijk de Marokkanen, waarom krijgen de leerlingen dat nooit te horen?

Het is ons opgevallen dat jong adolecenten als zij ons magazine voor het eerst lezen heel verbaasd zijn over de penis lengte van Marokkanen. Waarom al die leugens in het middelbaar onderwijs, waarom niet gewoon de waarheid op tafel?

Robbert D: In een moderne samenleving zoals wij die nu hebben mogen alle groepen meedoen. Dat heet inclusiviteit en dat is onderdeel van de verantwoorde samenleving. Mijn partij D66 heeft niet voor niets de slogan "De verantwoorde samenleving: Die maken we zelf!" Zo gaan wij ook geen Geert Wilders stemmers afzeiken omdat ze zo'n klein hersenvolume hebben. Volgende vraag graag. 

Het woord is aan Maaike Mijnkamp van de Opzij.

Dank u, mijn naam is Maaike en ik ben als freelancer verbonden aan de Opzij. Onze lezers maken zich al jaren zorgen om sexisme in de vrouwen handel. Er zijn tal van misstanden in de vrouwen handel, vorige week bijvoorbeeld kwam het naar voren dat vrouwen vaak een brandmerk krijgen zonder dat er verdoving plaatsvind. Ook gebeurt het regelmatig dat in vrouwen pakhuizen er brand uitbreekt in het ventilatie systeem en dat alle vrouwen op voorraad dan levend verbranden.
Hoe kan het onderwijs eraan bijdragen dat er minder sexisme is in de vrouwen handel? 

Robbert D: Als er al sprake is van sexisme in de vrouwen handel dan is dat meer een zaak van justitie en niet van het ministerie van onderwijs. Toch kan het ministerie van onderwijs bijdragen aan de oplossing van deze problematiek. Immers de verantwoordelijke samenleving, die maken we zelf! 

Zo kunnen we bijvoorbeeld veel meer de nadruk leggen op het feit dat meisjes en vrouwen gewoon zelf hun eigen vrouwen handeltje kunnen beginnen. Er mag geen sexisme zijn in de toegang tot de markt voor vrouwen handel; als er al belemmeringen zijn voor vrouwen om zelf vrouwen handelaar te worden dan moeten wij samen ervoor zorg dragen dat die belemmeringen weggenomen worden. 

In de praktijk weten wij dat vrouwelijke vrouwen handelaren vaak heel efficient werken. Bijvoorbeeld is er in je opslagpakhuis uitbraak van vrouwen ziektes zoals vaginale schimmel, dan zie je vaak dat mannelijke vrouwen handelaren de hele boel preventief gaan ruimen. Maar een vrouwelijke vrouwen handelaar die kijkt eens goed naar haar pakhuis, kiest drie of vier vrouwen eruit en geeft die een asperientje en een paar dagen later is die hele uitbraak van ziektes verleden tijd en is iedereen blij. 

Dat is duidelijk een geval van betere of grotere efficientie bij de vrouwelijke vrouwen handelaren. Dus sexisme is slecht want die mannen met hun preventieve ruiming zorgen er alleen maar voor dat de prijzen hoger en hoger worden als er veel uitbraken zijn van vrouwen ziektes. Nogmaals: De verantwoordelijke samenleving die maken we zelf en we hebben allemaal de verantwoording om de prijzen en inflatie zo laag mogelijk te houden. Ik hoop uw vraag zo goed te hebben beantwoord. 

Dames en heren de tijd is bijna om, maar Jopie Bladzeiker van het maandblad Kijk kan nog een vraag stellen en dan is het over:

Hallo mensen, mijn naam is Jopie Bladzeiker en de lezers van ons maandblad zijn al jaren op zoek naar het experimentele bewijs dat electronen feitelijk twee magnetische polen hebben. Dus het belangrijke bewijs dat de wet van Gauss voor magnetisme ook geldig is voor electronen zonder al dat bla bla bla van bijvoorbeeld string theorie lulletjes. Dus Robbert Dijkgraaf, wat is het experiment dat bewees dat elektron spin aanleiding geeft tot twee magnetische pooltjes? 

Robbert D: In mijn leven heb ik vele stomme vragen beantwoord maar deze vraag is zo stom en idioot dat ik niet weet wat ik moet zeggen. Ik ga dit niet beantwoorden, ik heb betere dingen te doen zoals mijn ministerschap opzetten zoals een top wetenschapper betaamd. 

__________ 

So far for this long text in the Dutch language, let me close this update with one more picture upon the tiny fact that likely electrons and protons & stuff like that carry a net magnetic charge. Logic should prevail and not the stupid blah blah blah of the string theorists. Don't forget the string theorists also have zero explanation as why for example the sun corona is that hot or for that matter why we have solar wind at all.

Ok, that was it for this weeks update upon 'top scientists'. I am still laughing about the classification of Robbert as a 'top' scientist. See you next week, live well and work well. 

(07 Jan 2022) It's a bit late but I wish everybody a happy new year! Yesterday I finished & published an oversight of 2021 on the other website. After all 2021 was not a bad year when it came to math results and of course more findings in the magnetism stuff. In the oversight I link to several posts from the last year so it is almost impossible to read all in one go. Five highlights of the year 2021. Link used:
http://3dcomplexnumbers.net/2022/01/06/five-highlights-of-the-year-2021/

Today no Brexit stuff, I want to show you some simple COVID statistics and a detail that I never knew: There is already an infrared satellite out there and on top of that it seems that my own country has contributed to that one. So these are our items for today.

Item 1) Simple statistics from the Dutch landscape.
Item 2) IRAS is her name, she is an infrared space telescope.

 Item 1) Simple statistics from the Dutch landscape.

For a couple of weeks our home country has a fresh series of measures to fight the new omicron variant of the new corona virus. Well very much in the beginning of that I wrote you that may be we are lucky this time because omicron might be less severe and also more transmissible as such pushing out other variants of the virus. 

It all seems to pan out fine, of course we have to take into account a large part of the population is double vaccinated (84.3%) and we have all those closures in the economy like non essential shops closed and working from home if possible. But most days the number of hospital and intensive care patients declines a bit. 

Of course if you are a shop owner who cant's sell a thing in a normal way and can do only the online thing, you will be highly frustrated. One of the weird things from this pandemic is that if you are a company you must have really deep savings in order to survive such a viral assault. It is not enough to have financial reserves like 12 to 18 months of gross profits, no it must be 12 to 18 months of total revenue. For most companies this is an impossible amount.  

So we are not doing bad with only about 25,000 positive tests a day. For comparison yesterday France had 320,000 or so positive tests. For a country of that size that is a lot...

 Item 2) IRAS is her name, she is an infrared space telescope.

Lately with the launch of the James Webb space telescope all attention is focused on that crazy thing of engineering. Most of the time people that develop a new satellite try to avoid having moving parts in them because out there is space the possibility of failure is so large. Well take a look at the James Web telescope; it has a few hundred critical points of failure!

Let's hope for the best but for myself speaking seeing is believing. There is so much that can go wrong.

Well today I clicked on a video from scishow space and they had some stuff about some IRAS satellite and my own country was involved! Now when it comes to space I am never nationalistic, space is not a soccer match or so. I do not care what country brings home the bacon, let is by China, the USA, Russia, Luxemburg or Botswana. I do not care, space is humanity against the universe and we better leave out all of that childish political stuff.

An interesting detail in this IRAS thing is that it is cooled with helium, so it is very different compared to that James Webb satellite. Here is a vague impression how it looks, click on the picture for the video:

Ok, that is what I had to say today. Have a good year & a healthy year.  

Till updates. 

(31 Dec 2021) For the time being the hospitals are still not overflowing (just as expected a few weeks back but seeing is believing of course). There is a shiver of fresh hope when it comes to this new COVID-19 variant: this omicron thing makes you ill in about 10 days and not 20. Some people do not see why this is good news, yet the hospitals are still not overflowing despite the much more rapid way this new variant can make people ill. One way or the other this is good news.

So week in week out I stay optimistic. But I can fully understand that if for example you are a nurse in a third world country like the UK and you go for your so maniest shift of only 12 hours, you are fed up with it all.  

Today I want to take a look at those idiots from the so called European Research Group. Here we go: 

Item 1) The ERG; has their research any value beyond comedy?

  Item 1) The ERG; has their research any value beyond comedy?

I clearly remember that the first time I observed those people talking they clearly stated stuff like "We have been studying this for years and there is just a lot of red tape coming with the rules and regulations of the EU", I was very impressed.   

Wow man doing research for years and years, that is just like I do although math is a hobby around here but you find result upon result and you think and think and every year the pile of results grows bigger and bigger.

For example this year I was studying the counter examples to the last theorem of Pierre de Fermat and with a bit of luck I could also improve on the so called little theorem of Fermat. In my view these are great achievements because thousand of math professionals have beeen studying this stuff too and they never found anything of relevance. So I thought the European Research Group was more or less the same.

Anyway it was the chairman of one of those UK retail chains, it was Tesco if memory serves, that also have stores in France. He said that now a full truck could need up to 700 pages of documentation while in the past these were often just 2 to 5 different papers to fill in.

At that point in time I clearly understood how fundamentally stupid and retarded those Brexit people from the ERG actually were. With the greatest of routine they complain about all that red tape that is coming with the EU and her regulations while now they are outside the EU it is over 100 times as much... 

Years and years of 'study' and the reality is one 100 times the opposite. Only a collection of total idiots can do this. Here you see a few of those lunatics: 

Of course donald trump is not a Brexiteer, but that guy has a long list of mental illnesses that make him fall out of the range of normal political behavior. Think for example at those tax cuts that supposedly would pay for themselves, when trump became the US prez total state debt was about 19 trillion US$, now it stands just so much higher it is crazy beyond belief. As a matter of fact it is totally impossible this debt will be paid back via taxes on the US economy. It can only be paid by the Federal Reserve so the world reserve currency is just a money printing machine. Thank you donald...

In my own country we also have such an idiot believing in weird stuff when it comes to the EU, his name is Geert Wilders. Now what do Geert Wilders and say Jacob Rees Mogg and the other Brexiteers have in common? It is relatively simple: the part of their brain that does the talking is very well developed.
That is how often political figures come floating above: they have nice talk and it is pleasant to listen to it because it sounds so good. Unfortunally their speech center is the only part of their brain that is well developed. Most other parts are under developed, bad at math, bad at writing, bad a logical thinking but often their motoric skills are about average so when they move their body they look healthy.

Yet if you start thinking about what people like Geert and Jacob say, it does not take long to see the shortcomings in their ways of thinking. If a guy like Jacob Rees Mogg complains about the amount of red tape that comes with EU rules & regulations, it sounds good but it is all a bunch of total crap absolutely not rooted in reality.

Did you know that wikipedia can be hilariously funny? I can't remember any other time I really had to laugh about what a wiki said. Here is the funny part, by the way the ERG group was founded in the year 1993 so we are looking at almost 3 decades of utter stupid stuff like that: 

Source of the wiki fun: European Research Group
Link used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Research_Group

The words "Carry out research" is what made me laugh hard and long. At present day the only benefits to Brexit there are is that on websites you can skip the cookie part where you can manage the cookie stuff. And lately there is that talk of pint sized Champane bottles. A pint is one of those weird old measures of volume, it is something more than 0.5 liter. 

Why that is important I do not know. And do you really think the French will start filling weird bottle sizes for the UK only? Beside that true Brexiteers should never drink champagne because that stuff comes from a region on earth where evil unelected burocrats force wine makes to add chemical stuff to wine that enslaves the population to an evil regime. Brexiteers should not be drinking European wine, that stuff is evil. 

Ok, that was it for this update. See you in the next year and a happy new year! 

(24 Dec 2021) Today I had a weird experience, it looks like that energy company Vattenfall is trying to help me. Why I don't know but they promise to live fossilfree within one generation. So likely with death squads they will go round the world turning all math professors into biofuels. And I wondered if that all was legal or so. But suppose a university calls the police for help saying: "They have slaughtered and tortured all math professors to death and now their corpses are sold to the highest bidder!". You don't need much brains to figure out how the police will react: "Math professors? Well today and the rest of the week our police officers are all busy writing extra parking tickets for people who illegally park their car in the wrong spot. We have to prioritize so may be next year with your stupid math professor problem..."  

Why would have thought that of Vattenvall? After all they don't look very scary but likely this female is a death squad member too. And why Vattenvall thinks that math professors are responsible for climate change is also unknown to me.

Anyway today two items. The first one about the Brexit results of this first year and in the second item we look at some numbers around the new omicron variant of the COVID-19 stuff. Here we go. 

Item 1) A Brexit summary by a different bias.
Item 2) Dr. John Cambell on some statistics around omnicron.

 Item 1) A Brexit summary by a different bias.

One thing that is more or less a weird conclusion: A lot of stuff the Brexiteers wanted has one way or the other turned into the opposite. For example Brexiteers, racists as they are, wanted EU workers like butchers out so that British people can pick up those jobs. As a matter of fact no British workers pick up those jobs and now carcasses of dead animals are shipped to say my country and processed and packaged here. And then the stuff goes back to the UK.
Of course from the economical point of view this is weird behavior: the UK becomes only more depended on food imports instead of less depended.

I'll link the video below, here is a screenshot of a nice pair of painted flags: 

The same goes for immigration. Now the UK is out of the EU they can't transport people back who entered illegally. As a matter of fact that cramp cunt of them, Pritti Patel, was disinvited when European countries came together discussing the problems of illegal channel crossings.  

Another big problem for the UK is of course that nobody trusts the UK government. It is a bunch of weirdo's doing only weird stuff. For me as an outsider it if often funny to watch but if I would be a UK citizen I would not like it at all.

The above picture is a bit over the top. The EU is not on a war path with the UK. It is more the UK needs to sort out what it wants instead of that idiot drumbeat of 'new opportunities outside the EU'. It is total BS. You can also go to the South Pole, Mars or even Jupiter and cry out loud about the new found economical opportunities. But they are just not there, how hard you believe in it it is just not there.

  Item 2) Dr. John Cambell on some statistics around omnicron.

A couple of weeks back I expressed some positive gut feelings about the new COVID-19 virus variant. That was in the update where I checked if my original estimate of at most one percent of the population dead has come out or not.

We are now about four weeks into the new variant and it spreads like crazy but hospital admissions are still going down. Because omnicron has such a high R value associated with it (some folks estimate the R as 3 to 5 so there is not much you can do to minimize it's presence), I too expect hospital admissions to rise in a few weeks time. May be even next week already.

Again without giving false hope, it could all be a storm in a glass of water. Yet what I call the 'hospital equation' is not killing us. If say you have triple the amount of positive tested cases but the probability of dying is only one third or less, hospital admissions stay the same and the health care system will not get overrun.

Of course as a government you have to take measures that include all possible outcomes and not only the very positive ones. So I support the restrictions that for example my own Dutch government has put in place. It is better to be safe then sorry for all those filled coffins. 

Here is the video: Positive UK data

Ok, remember to avoid false hope. Stay realistic on your expectations.
Until next update, take care of yourself & don't forget to turn math professors into bio fuel because that's the best fuel for your car and heating your house...;) 

(17 Dec 2021) And finally after about 270 days we have progress on the formation of a a new government. It is about time and long durations like this are a disadvantage of the large number of political parties we have over here. Yet I prefer this much more compared to countries with only two main stream political parties like the UK & the USA. Often in such nations when the power swings the other way the new government first starts unwinding a lot of stuff from the previous government. Of course from the strategic point of view that is wasteful but that is what you get in a polarized society. 

The new omnicron variant of the COVID-19 stuff is also going fast over here: Last week in Amsterdam it was about 2.5% of tested cases, latest figures are 25%. So the trend of doubling every two days is also here going on (it would be strange if that would not be the case). Now all we can do is hope this new variant is mild enough to prevent clogging up of the hospitals.  

And I have a small correction to make: Last week I told you that the BoJo lives at Downing Street number 10. And as such Boris must have been aware of Christmas parties in the building. Yet from a channel named 'A different bias' it was explained that back in the time when Tony Blair was the UK pm, because he had children and so he took the house at number 11 while Gordon Brown took the living house at nr 10. Anyway it does not matter: If the BoJo is stating he was unaware of Christmas parties he was either lying (very likely) or very incompetent (also very likely). 

Two items for this weeks update: 

Item 1) Is that Christmas party a scandal or a symptom?
Item 2) I was lucky in finding this animated gif.

 Item 1) Is that Christmas party a scandal or a symptom?

More photo's have been popping up about those illegal Christmas parties at Downing Street number 10. For myself speaking I do not consider this a scandal. A scandal is an unexpected thing that is also highly immoral. But if you vote a bunch of stupid people into office (that average Brexiteer must be a stupid person if they think this all is good for the country) this is what you get. 

The UK conservatives are just another bunch of hypocrites. If I would be a British citizen I think most of the time I would not vote at all. If you must choose between a bunch of hypocrites and labor, I think I pass. 

The latest photo is again from the Mirror, remark this was at a time when it was forbidden to mingle with different households so one way or the other this was clearly illegal. As you see on inspection, this bunch of hypocrites have a good time and say 'Fuck you' to the general UK population. 

Nice catering stuff included & the BoJo says he does not know a thing... 

 Item 2) I was lucky in finding this animated gif.

About five years back I figured out that the magnetic domains in say a material like iron were not 'tiny magnets' but these domains were places with either a surplus in spin up electrons or spin down electrons. 

Actually it is very stupid to name something 'spin up' but that is the common language they use in physics. It is extremely likely that electrons are in fact magnetic monopoles but it is also one hundred percent clear the people from physics are not ready for this.

Anyway this year I stopped the magnetic pages on this website; trying to talk logic to a bunch of stupid assholes does not work at all. And now I have the freedom to name these people what they are: Incompetent idiots. 

I have taken my conclusion this year: Physics professors are the same as math professors and as such this is a group of people you must avoid at all costs. Let these idiots do their stupid 'spin up' and 'spin down' stuff. I do not longer want anything to do with them. It is incompetent shit in the first, second and third place. 

__________

After having said that, it was also five years ago I figured out how a magnetic field would change the magnetic domains in say a piece of iron. What happens if you hold a permanent magnet near a piece of iron? Well some domains will grow in size while the domains next to it will shrink. 

And that is what you observe in the next animated gif:  

I am not trying to convince those idiots any longer. It is enough that I know how stuff more or less works, in the case magnetism and electrons. Let the idiots do 'electrons are tiny magnets' and let me do 'electrons are magnetic monopoles'.

There is plenty of space under the sun; the idiots will be happy and I will be happy.
I don't want to mingle with them any longer; they live in their world, I live in my world.
End of the update for this week. Thanks for your attention. 

(10 Dec 2021) What a lovely political scandal they have over there in the UK. All kinds of Christmas parties were held in Dec 2020 while in the rest of the country people were dying in hospital without family members being allowed to be there.
I observed the BoJo in parliament stating that he was 'furious' when looking at that leaked video. And for one time I do agree with Boris Johnson: It is an outrage that somebody leaked such a video! How can you run the country if traitor like people leak fake video's like that! The BoJo assured parliament that there will be an investigation...   

Investigation? Pardon me, the Christmas party was held at Downing street number 10. As far as I know that is also the home of the BoJo, that means he lives there. So there was a Christmas party with 30 or 40 people lasting until after midnight and the guy who lives there was unaware of it? 

Have you seen that video where staff members of Downing street 10 poke fun at that Christmas party? Why do they behave like that? My guess is that every day there happens a lot of stuff that needs to be kept secret from the public. Just look at the body language of those conservative males in parliament; you can sometimes see through shining that there is all kinds of stuff going on. The smirks, the shining of the eyes etc etc. Compare it to the next anecdote from myself about 40+ years back:

That kind of behavior is what I see in some of those males at the conservative side ot the UK parliament. It is just a bunch of teenagers with a lot of secrets to hide from the grown up people.  

Anyway, our item for today is my old old estimate from the total death toll caused by the latest COVID-19 virus (all variants). 

Item 1) After 600 days this death toll estimate is till very valid!

 Item 1) After 600 days this death toll estimate is till very valid!

Back in the time as soon as possible I wanted to estimate what the new Wuhan virus could mean for humanity when it came to total death toll. I do not remember the exact date or so but it was very early into the new pandemic. I arrived at the conclusion that for the time being at least, total death toll would be at most 1% of the population.

Because 1% of the human population is about 70 million, for me it was only important the estimate would be as realistic as possible. At all costs I wanted to avoid giving some kind of false hope. It had to be as realistic as possible. 

Now, about 600 days into the new pandemic, my original estimate still holds. 

If you click on the picture you get a wider screen shot that is better readable compared to this 450x450 pixel small picture. It compares a whole lot of viruses but the red dot says clearly: 1% fatality rate. 

So I am glad my original estimate holds up very good. Of course I am not glad about all those dead people but again my goal was to be as realistic as possible while avoiding giving people false hope. 

The picture and screenshot if from a video from ZOE COVID study. If you have never seen the ZOE videos, they are very good. It is from the UK without all the weird Brexit stuff, just a scientist doing his work: 

Is COVID-19 More Deadly Than The Flu?

So far for my old estimate of total death toll from the new Wuhan virus. I am very curious if with the latest omnicron variant this estimate will change... 

__________ 

In case you have a normal life and not like me unemployed decade in decade out, it could very well be you missed that funny video where UK government staff poke fun at Chrismas parties held at Downing street 10 where the BoJo denied they happened at all. Click on the picture for the video:

Ok, that was it for this weeks update. See you around & take care of yourself. 

(03 Dec 2021) What do you think of the latest known version of the COVID stuff? I am cautiously optimistic but there is still a lot we do not know. For example the long COVID damage is unknown, what it does in elderly or fat & obese people is unknown. But if the initial reports from South-Afrika turn to be valid, that is a lot of mild symptoms, no oxygen troubles or os, no loss of smell, in that case we could finally be lucky. In my country the beta variant blasted the previous variant away in say one month or five weeks while that beta thing was about 60% more transmissible.   

Of course I am not saying we are in paradise, we better wait and see and do not believe in any amount of false hope. Now South-Afrika was complaining that with all those travel restrictions they were punished by being open and transparent. They have some point here because they did a very good job in isolating this new variant. But when in my country they checked a few planes from SA, about 61 people tested positive on COVID. That would be about 10% of all travelers from South-Afrika. So although travel restrictions do not help against keeping a new variant out, it buys a bit of time at best, we have a right to defense our hospitals against overflowing. Ten % of all passengers testing positive is crazy beyond borders, or not?  

Two items for this update: Angela Merkel goes away & the Eurostat inflation numbers. 

Item 1) Angela retiring; we will miss you Angela!
Item 2) I have never seen such strange inflation numbers.

Item 1) Angela retiring; we will miss you Angela! 

After 16 years she will go. I have always been a big fan of Angela. In my view she is the one that embedded Germany more and more into the EU and as such minimizing cute stuff like WWIII. You could always blindly trust Angela doing the right thing, being a reasonable person, avoid confrontation without looking weak and so on and so on. 

I think it really helped her that she is a female. I do not want to sound sexist with that, beside being a female you must have a lot of other qualities for a job like that. With Angela at the helm year in year out you could always trust on the fact that we would not end in a fresh war for only little or no reason like macho males doing their thing.
From her farewell ceremony: 

She only disappointed me a few times. The worst case was when she ceremonial opened that Wendelstein 7X nuclear fusion reactor. She did not remark that for plasma physics to work, the professional physics scientist must prove that such a plasma stays stable. Although Angela is a physicist herself, she did not pop that balloon of fantasies with a sharp needle. If she would have lectured the Max-Planck fake scientist like:  

Du blöde Arschlöcher, waarum prüfen Sie nicht dass die elektronen zwei magnetische polen haben? Ihr seit Dreck, Ihr seit Scheisse und Sie von Max-Planck Institute Irh seit alle Sino's. (A sino is a scientist in name only.) 

If she would have done that, may be I would be in a different place today.
But she didn't, it was just the usual mumbo jumbo of saving the climate via nuclear fusion and for the rest she acted just like all other university people.
It was a pity but since I self won't die from climate change I could live with it. 

 Item 2) I have never seen such strange inflation numbers.

It is no secret that I am in favor of central bank policy striving to an inflation of 0% and not 2%. Just like I am against all those bond buying programs that likely in the long run will do more harm as they are good. It is really not that a country like Italy is thinking 'wow we really must address all that money borrowing because every imbecile can see we will never pay it back'. No, ECB policy allows for that madness to go on year in year out.

Inflation in the EU zone is performing better than I expected, it is definitely below the UK and USA stuff so that is a good thing. The USA is already in a debt trap; since say 2015 the federal debt ballooned far above 100% of GDP and no possibility to raise taxes in a meaningful way. The UK has it's own problems now they are on their own, it will be very interesting how high the inflation will go over there.

Anyway, Eurostat had the Oct numbers out and I have never seen anything like this. I had to rotate the picture because in a horizontal manner the 450 pixels would render it unreadable. It is no surprise that energy is the biggest disaster at over 23%. 

But we also want a more durable energy environment, something that will not destroy the climate. And for that we need much higher energy prices so you do not hear me complain about how this all goes. All other scenario's are worse, so burn baby burn while you can.

Picture source: Annual inflation up to 4.1 % in the euro area

By the way, it is 03 Dec and the Nov figures are also out! Yeah yeah, the EU has good speed so to say. This is blistering fast, my compliments!!!!

Flash estimate November 2021
Euro area annual inflation up to 4.9%

Ok, that was it for this week. Have a good life and burn the balls of stupid physics professors that refuse to validate their talk on electron spin. Till updates. 

(26 Nov 2021) A pity: More measures against COVID-19 are needed because the thing goes much to fast. But this time the kids are allowed to go to school and may be that is the best thing to do. You can't keep them at home year in year out or every winter or so. Over Europe there were all kinds of protests against the new lockdown measures. Of course it is a good thing if young people just always protest when liberties are shrunk. But to be honest if I look at opinions like 'We want our lives back from before' is naive to the bone. The world has changed in the last 20+ months and on the scale of history it is only peanuts: compare this COVID-19 stuff to the pest when that hit Europe. The pest could wipe out half of the population in severe cases, with COVID-19 we have only lots of teenagers complaining 'We do not want to live under dictatorship' or whatever what they come up with.

In this update two items; The BoJo has given a fantastic speech and in the second item we have that PBS idiot again explaining all official accepted knowledge on magnetic monopoles. In this world there is just never a shortage of idiots, a bit more positive you can formulate that as 'There is room for improvement'.

Item 1) Vroom vroom boom, the bus goes boom boom boom. (Latest BoJo song.)
Item 2) PBS space time on magnetic monopoles.  

 Item 1) Vroom vroom boom, the bus goes boom boom boom. (Latest BoJo song.)

The UK pm Boris Johnson got a lot of critique after his remarkable speech. Reporters were asking 'Are you well prime minister?' Other wondered if the BoJo may had drunk a glass of champagne on an empty stomach. And so on and so on.

I considered it a perfect speech perfectly matched on the cognitive capabilities of the average Brexiteer. If for example you want to explain how a combustion car works to a Brexiteer you better avoid difficult words like 'combustion engine'. You must tell it like in:

The motor goes BOOM BOOM BOOM, so the 
car goes VROOM VROOM VROOM!
Come along on the Brexit bus,
drink some beer without the fuss (And so on and so on, let it be the latest song by BoJo & The Cons where they drive around in the UK landscape in the bus drinking beer and singing beautiful Brexit songs.) 

The remarks made by the BoJo upon Peppa Pig were a true eyeopener for me. I did not know what Peppa Pig was so I have learned a brand new thing. We only have Nijntje over here, Nijntje is a rabbit that can talk. So in the UK they have a pig that can talk and communicate in a meaningful manner with the Brexiteers!

I reject all that negative criticism; people should embrace Peppa Pig because you can learn so much from that wise wise pig. And don't forget Peppa Pig is extra happy these days because the evil EU butchers have left the country so the UK pigs can't get butchered by that evil form of human life...  

Just like the fish that are happy because there is nobody to catch them anymore.  

 Item 2) PBS space time on magnetic monopoles.  

This year I have given up trying to explain that it is not logical on all kinds of levels that electrons are magnetic dipoles. The only meaningful alternative is that they are magnetic monopoles, they carry magnetic charge and they are not 'tiny magnets'.

The new policy in place is very simple: It is enough that I know and I will not try to convince those idiots like physics professors that their idea's upon electron spin are not correct. After 5+ years and zero reaction I am one 100% through with these idiots and for the rest of my life I will have nothing to do with them.

To my surprise PBS space time came out with another video completely related to magnetic monopoles. And yes there we have that combination of rambling statements again. I will link the video below.

For example the PBS space time idiot and imbecile starts with an example of separating electric charges in a metal rod: shove all negative charges to the left and all positive charges to the right and you have an electric dipole.
How this must be done is of course not explained because it is 100% impossible.  

So me explaining for about 4 years that permanent magnets like iron are permanent because their unpaired electrons are locked in the deeper orbitals is what makes them permanent has not reached those idiots and imbeciles. 

It is just a detail of all stuff wrong with this rambling piece of science: The idiot thinks that the Gauss law for magnetism also holds for unpaired electrons. This is a very deep problem: always when those physics people encounter some patch of math that works very well, they always want to use that in a broader sense.

Look for example how they dweep with Paul Dirac, they think that Paul just by looking at the math discovered anti matter before it was found. Well as a matter of fact Paul did that but he was unaware of it. Anyway if you look at the four Dirac solutions it clearly separates matter from anti matter and it separates the spin states of an electron.  

Matter and anti matter are two very different things, you cannot flip an electron into a positron. It is never that an electron 'pick up some phase' and changes into a positron. The same goes for electron spin: the sole fact that Paul Dirac needed two different solutions already says you cannot flip one magnetic state into the other.

Try to explain that to the idiot and imbecile as shown above: they keep on thinking that spin is tiny magnet stuff and if you turn the magnet 180 degrees the spin state is opposite. 

__________

The list of weird things is endless: The idiots only look at particles that only have a magnetic charge and no electric charge. But if it is really true that an electron is a tiny magnet with an electric charge, would the opposite of that be some kind of particle with just a magnetic charge and a dipole electric charge?

That would be the logical thing to do. But 100% of the physics professors only do the weird thing like looking for a particle that only has magnetic charge and they never talk about a particle that is an electric dipole.

Now the electron is really small, it is unknown how small but it is far far beyond the size of atoms. It is far far beyond the scale of nano meters. Likely most people understand that if you cram in an electric dipole in such a small particle, it is just a neutral thing when it comes to electric charge.  

But for the idiots and imbeciles, if an electron is a magnetic dipole there is never a problem at all.

Next year 2022 will be the century birthday of the Stern-Gerlach experiment that in my view was the very first experimental proof that electrons are magnetic monopoles.

But try to explain that to the idiots & imbeciles, sorry I pass that task in the next years. The only thing that counts is that 'I know' and that's it. I will absolutely not go on as the last five years, talking to shitheads is a waste of time, energy and pleasure in life.

If they want their electron spin to be tiny magnets, they can have it. Why not?
Let me not forget the link to that PBS space time idiot and imbecile:

That was it for this update. Thanks for your attention. 

(19 Nov 2021) COVID-19 is still far from conquered. Germany has troubles big time and we too have hospitals more or less running at maximum capacity. In Germany the problem is the too low vaccination rate mostly in the former DDR regions where distrust in all things government is still large.   

I remember back in the year 1990 or so, we were on a bicycle trip to Berlin and we were following Radweg eins (a long route that ends in Berlin). At some point in time we entered a village and we were looking around like "What the hell has happened here?" There were houses and yes they looked like houses and yes there was glass in the windows but if you looked more clear there was no paint on the wooden frames  of the windows. Further down the main street three guys were cleaning the street with a broomstick and a wheelbarrow, no machines at all just hand labor. All of a sudden I realized what was going on: "This must be the former DDR I said to my ex". 
All in all our bicycle holiday to Berlin was great and a good lesson in embracing capitalism as your basic way to run an economy.

This short update has it's item committed to Shell, they want to replace their headquarters to London UK. And that only for the 15% dividend tax? 

Item 1) Bye bye Shell, we will miss you after all those decades.

 Item 1) Bye bye Shell, we will miss you after all those decades.

It was in the news that Shell indeed wants to place it's headquarters in the UK. All in all at most 10 people will move from the Dutch landscape to London so that is not a big deal. Shell claims it wants to simplify it's corporate structure and yes they have two forms of shares known as A and B. The one is listed in Amsterdam, the other where no dividend tax is paid is listed in London. 

By moving to London it seems that the main tax regime will be the UK tax regime. I am not a tax expert so I cannot comment on that. But I do not understand why the dividend tax is such a problem for those Shell management folks. Some time ago Unilever did the same and they too did it for the dividend tax they said. 

I doubt it you pay less taxes if you avoid the dividend tax. After all the state needs it funding, if you scrap the dividend tax some other form of state income must replace that. It is unwise to go the Italian or USA route with only piling up more debt that in the end will only be serviced by the central banks.  

Sometimes I consider it a pity that central banks are independent from politics, if it was up to me it would be illegal to buy up debt from say Italy. In the meantime Italy has zero incentive to so something about their debt hugging problem so as a matter of fact the ECB makes stuff only worse by buying up Italian government debt.

Why the management of Shell is so eager to move to the UK is unknown to me. Lots of the UK are now sewage infested because the Brexit causes a lack of chemicals for waste water treatment. Is that how the management of Shell envisions their own future over there? Lax environmental rules because after Brexit we can go our own way...

Why the hell do you move to a country that clearly is dysfunctional by the standards of a normal working brain? Cutting trade ties with countries close by while doing stupid blah blah blah like "The center of trade is shifting towards the east so we must do more trade with that part of the world". It sound good but it is as stupid as eating shit instead of real food because "The price profile of shit is much lower compared to real food". 

For myself speaking I will not sell my shell stocks but I will wait a few more years before it expanding it again. I doubt the mental capabilities of the Shell management team. Just look at the cost of housing; if the Shell management team wants to live in London, housing is expensive. So in the long run you will have much more costs. 

Anyway I found a couple of guys that are very willing to keep the fuel flowing to the Shell gas pumps in the UK: 

These guys are extremely smart and have survived a lot of stuff: The stone age, the bronze age, the Napoleon wars,  World War I & II so for them a bit of Brexit is no problem... So let's hope that dad's army is capable of helping the smart Shell management team with it's glorious task of keeping dividends high!

Oops, the hero's from dad's army don't understand it perfectly: It is no dividend TAX and not the end of all dividends...;)

See you in the next update. 

(12 Nov 2021) What a mess at the Polish border; but the first refugees have already arrived in my country so the border is not tight closed as suggested by the large numbers of Polish soldiers and police. Those poor refugees, the nights are getting colder fast. This mess perfectly shows that the Belarus prez is indeed a full blown weirdo, but there is not much new about that. 

The Brexit developments were perfect this week: I observed Boris Johnson telling an international audience that he 'does not see corruption in his country'. I think I agree with that, for the conservatives all this weird stuff like 3 million pounds to buy yourself a seat in the upper house is just business as usual. It seems that you can also buy nobility titles but I did not read much about that. After all the UK government is a bunch of incompetents anyway. 

Our item for today is a bunch of cute physics that is likely untrue. Here we go: 

Item 1) Heisenberg uncertainty + Casimir effect = Hawking radiation?????

 Item 1) Heisenberg uncertainty + Casimir effect = Hawking radiation?????

This week I finished a relatively long post where I wrote down five so called easy calculation around magnetism. It more or less demonstrates that the physics professors are wrong when it comes to magnetism. For example if you have one of those old televisions and also a stack of those very strong neodymium magnets, if you hold that stack against the television you can get a black spot like in the next photo:

If you use the official theory for electron acceleration by a magnetic field, you find that a black spot like this is only possible if your magnetic field has a gradient of hundreds of millions of Tesla. I don't know the maximum field strength of my stack of magnets, you can lift a piece of 5 kg iron with it but how strong it is in Tesla I don't know. But hundreds of millions of Tesla in just a gradient is of course a ridiculous answer that once more demonstrates the official ideas around electron spin are just 100% wrong.

The fact that I wrote such a long post is not a sign of me changing policy again; After trying to talk and write some sense in the heads of the professional physics people for over five years I arrived at the conclusion they just don't want it.

Logic does not work so I changed policy and from this year on I will not try any longer to 'make contact' or 'indulge in dialogue' or whatever what. If the idiots and imbeciles want electrons to be tiny magnets, well let it be. But I do not want to have any kind of contact with these idiots any longer. 

May be it was naive and stupid from me that thinking using stuff like logic would bring up some improvement in the science of physics. I was wrong and likely I will never make that mistake again.

So from this year on the physics professors have the same status as math professors: Avoid all contact because they are imbeciles and idiots. Overpaid and overly incompetent, it has always been this way and it will always be so in the future. 

They just don't want me, this year I accepted this. 

__________ 

For example all those years I never investigated properly if the Stephen Hawking guy based his black hole radiation on the results of the Casimir effect experiments. I did so because year in year out I tried to be humble, only talk logic about the stuff. And not position myself on the level of Heisenberg / Casimir / Hawking, that would only repel the physics professors and I always respected that kind of stuff.

So after all these years it was only this very week that I did a simple Youtube search on 'Casimir effect and Hawkin radiation' and instantly video's pop up explaining the relation between them.

Now I have left my policy of being polite I can tell a bit more truth like that Casimir effect stuff is not true at all. It is bitter that the university where Hendrik Casimir worked has never responded, it is a Dutch university so that is what makes it bitter. 

The idiot and imbecile above, his name is Mike Merrifield, really thinks there is a straight line of reasoning from Heisenberg to Hawkin via this Casimir effect. 

With the explanation of the Casimir effect experiment the physics people only used insights from that Heisenberg principle. But if you take two pieces of metal and polish them very very flat, that will also stick to each other. So there are many routes to explaining this attraction, why only focus on a detail that likely is not true at all?

Bah, I am getting in a bad mood again. Why are university people always so shitty and so stupid? Click on the next picture to land at that youtube video:

Mike is one of those thousands of physics professors that just do not understand you must have experimental proof for their electron spin stuff. In particular you must have experimental evidence that an electron has two magnetic poles. 

Why do they not understand that? Just like other mentally handicapped people, it must be a lack of brain function I just guess. Anyway no more being polite, when an imbecile like Mike comes along I will tell what I see: an imbecile and an idiot. 

Let's leave it with that.
