The ultimate waste — the dual destruction team, Trump – Musk

Political - thoughts, Rants

The ultimate waste — the dual destruction team, Trump – Musk.  What i dont understand is the lack of recognition by our elected (well i didn’t elect them) republicans that cant see beyond their own salaries and pensions (of which there is abundant and inconceivable waste), that this is not the best way to correct human greed and fraud.  How can two fraudsters make rational judgements.  THis means to support them is also fraud.  Who among you wants to live this life.

This WHI study, (of which i was and am one of the original participants, and who personally knows one of the regional heads of the WHI) is about as fraud-free as it gets (yes there is fraud everywhere, no one who has lived for 80 years thinks humans are capable of being fraud-free — “no not one” ), but there is much good science here, and two idiots are going to dump the good stuff?  That is just not even smart.   (The DNA needs to be kept frozen, the records need to be maintained, the contacts of 160,000 women committed to this study need to continue to be kept current, the data need to be continusly updated). This shutdown is only about satisfying the duo’s needs for glory, money, power and gluttonous behaviour.  Good grief Trump…. i suspect you waste more govt time (aka money) on the golf course, and gold glory in the white house than is used in the WHI for years of funding.  You can take a dive TRUMP and MUSK, and this will end up biting you in the foot.

My participation in this study is for my granddaughters, nieces and YOUR’s too my friends, and you (Trump and Musk) are welcome — you dunces that are two ignorant to understand it.

Kroger: “are you serious”

Rants

I dont know who is head of marketing at Kroger, but they certainly should be fired for false claims. LOL.
i bought some kroger sliced almonds…..  there was this tiny tiny print which i photographed being unable to read it on the package…. “are you serious” — i laughed at the absolute nonsense, stupidity of what the words were…..

You judge for yourself, was this label necessary?  free from “unwanted ingredients”,  how comforting,  they did not define unwanted ingredients, the list would be infinite… but to make such an absurd statement when the contamination of all our food is a fact, at least to some degree, hopefully less than more, to think that this comment has any meaning at all is just some atempt at being funny…. maybe why it was unreadable.

 

KROGER – deceit! I am not sure how this company survives.

I collected this empty container to use for holding stuff — and looked at the advertisement (NO SUGAR) and then looked at the list of ingredients. Water is the first ingredient, then comes the second, High-fructose corn syrup. You have to be kidding me…. do they actually really not consider corn syrup a sugar. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar). These guys (i assume most of the decision making is still done by the male gender, where the tendencies for prevarication and ignorance and making money are alive and well) must just enjoy deceit. I can think of no other reason for this kind of fraud and deception.

Their definition of sugar needs to be up front, and clearly stated, it is narrow and misleading on purpose.

High-fructose corn syrup is a liquid sweetener made from corn. When corn starch is broken down into individual molecules, it becomes corn syrup, which is 100% glucose, a simple sugar. Enzymes are added to convert some of this glucose into fructose.

Xanthan gum is a chain of sugar building blocks made by fermenting simple sugars with a specific kind of bacteria

What is guar gum? Also known as guaran, guar gum is made from legumes called guar beans ( 1 ). It’s a type of polysaccharide, or long chain of bonded carbohydrate molecules, and composed of two sugars called mannose and galactose.

Sorbitan Monostearate is a synthetic compound that is derived from sugar alcohols. Sorbitan Monostearate is often used as an emulsifier or thickener. People can also use Sorbitan Monostearate to stabilize foams.

Fun with Copilot — SP-D dodecamer – no where near reality

surfactant proteins A and D

Fun with Copilot — SP-D dodecamer — no where near reality:
I asked Copilot to generate an image of a Surfactant protein D dodecamer as seen by atomic force microscopy thinking that the image that have been published, mainly by Arroyo et al, would have sparked some kind of realistic image, first pop, here is what came up. Not atomic force microscopy but some kind of conglomeration of a molecular model.

a surprise to say the least, not partiularly a good surprise.  Looks like dredlocks to me.

I adked again mentioning that I didnt want a ribbon molecule of just the carbohydrate recognition domain, to please try again. I mentioned that it had three trimeric arms, and was shaped like an X.

Try 2 with Copilot was not much closer to the images actually shown with AFM.

Try 3. This time i mentioned that most atomic force micrographs have an orange, deep red, and bright yellow coloring, and the the arms of the SP-D dodecamer were long, and here is what was generated.

Try 4.  I mentioned that the arms were not wide on the dodecamer, and that the N termini were joined together in a bright peak in the center of the dodecamer, and here we have —

I am a little surprised that since there are so many image of the SP-D X shape, and so many references to the alpha helix in the neck (and adjacent collagen like domain) that this image still looks like a form of spagetti.  I am pretty sure i mentioned that the trimeric arms were identical which apparently Copilot did understand.

Try 5.  Arms are indeed a little thinner but there is nothing at all that looks like an alpha helix, and totally missing is any appearance of the three carbohydrate recognition domains that flop around as the three C term elements of the trimer….  that also is open information in terms of molecular models and diagrams.

Try 6.  This made me laugh, and it also must have frustrated Copliot, cause that was the end of the exploration, I guess I had used up to much valuable time.  LOL,  this looks like something from a restaurant that sells gourmais deserts.

Here just for the record is one of the very nice atomic force images of SP-D produced by Arroyo et al, which I have worked on to determine how many peaks per trimeric arm are present.

For those of you (as in MUSK) that want to sell your sperm — listen up

It is infinitely immoral for the world’s richest man to sell that which he did not create, the origin of which he could not and did not control, and whose lifestyle has had a negative impact on morality. That is “His DNA”

He thinks somehow it is his to boast about and propegate with, but, he had nothing to do with it, it was a “crap shoot” “lucky draw” and not his brains. Rather it was millions of years of evolution which he thinks he “owns” but what he inherited, just like his money.
