Short and sweet rants on my favorite science topics

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.

Rants

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.

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

Rants

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.

 

Kroger — haha, here is another “real Kroger employee quote”

Rants

Standing at the starbucks counter I was getting some coffee ground (which by the way was not ground to turkish fine grind like I had asked for), I saw a kroger employee picking her nose with a white hankie.  When she came back to the starbucks counter she went to reach for something, and i quietly said, “wash your hands”,  her reply, I kid you not, was. “Why, I havn’t touched anything”….
When people dont think of their bodies as violations of the “wash your hands rule” for touching things, we are all in deep trouble, SMH

Dr. Seuss, pardon me for adding to your poem

Rants

my favorite seuss with apologies, with plus indecent additions,

it’s a troublesome world
and all the people who are in it
are troubled by troubles
almost every minute
you better be grateful
a whole heaping lot
for the people and places
you’re lucky you’re not

……..
you are not in afganistan
and you’re far from iraq
you’re not in iran
wearing a black little smock

you are not in gaza,
you’re not in ukraine
Nor are you in syria
Assad, was a pain.

but you’re in the US
with trump as the rein
and just know, I am quite sure
he hasn’t a brain.
it is also quite clear
he has not a clue.
I had prayed for a leader
who would know what to do.

So we all better muster
our resources right now
to help all those we know
to live with this strain.

Kroger — haha, here is a real Kroger employee quote

Rants,

Kroger — haha, here is a real employee quote…..

When asking about the price on a loaf of 8 grain LaBrea bread (which is typically 50 c cheaper than other loaves of LaBrea bread) and whether the price had gone up or if this was a mis-priced item.  All were the same price.  This woman I asked, I have certainly asked at least 4 times before, the same question.

facts

1: bread had not gone up, but was mis-marked

When I said, why is the price on this bread wrong, she said and I quote  “all the prices are different so we have to mark them all the same”   literally what she said.  I said, that makes no sense. If the prices are all different, then they need to be marked according to their real price. Why are you marking them the same.

her response, and I quote  “So we can be “fast”

WHAT THE HECK….  THis is an unbelieveable thing that employees are being pushed to do, or decided themselves it is the easy button.  Is anyone at home upstairs, how can this be a way to run a business.   Kroger, in my opinion, is cheating, low class, deceitful, and likely unkind to employes or is hiring people who take kroger business matters into their own hands.
