    Is there any way to hear examples of this?

    Since I'm not a selfish fat ass pig, like Numb Nuts, I would allow some people to stay here even though I only have 70 acres. I have a nice shed/cabin up on the ridge top, near an outhouse and a ten thousand gallon water tank. There are three very small "A" frame cabins down the side of the mountain, and there are two springs on the other side of the valley where people could set up permanent camps.

  7. The perfect weapon

    I used to do a lot of extended backpacking trips in the steep mountains of Washington state. In many places there are no level spots big enough for even a bivy bag, so I did a lot of the camping with a backpackers hammock, they weigh around one pound and some include a mosquito net. With a hammock you don't need level ground, and it is way more comfortable than sleeping on the ground. I would string a cord between the two trees, above the hammock, and drape a tarp over that, arranged in a triangular fashion, with two of the corners of the tarp going to each tree, and the two other corners tied to stakes in the ground. I had a string arrangement which allowed me to keep the tarp pulled back, so I could see the stars at night, but if it rained I could pull on the string while still in bed, and pull the tarp up to the tree. The tarp also provided a dry area next to the hammock for storing backpack and supplies, and a place to put my three legged stool and camping stove. Make sure to hang your food from a tree or bring mouse proof containers, like buckets with lids. Cardboard boxes are useless against mice.

    Do you have a vehicle? Go to somewhere in the green zone of Sinaloa, like east of Los Mochis or Culiacan. Find some remote farm not too close to a town, but that has a good clean water supply and ask them if you can rent their bodega (shed) or if you can set up a camp somewhere. You should bring as much in the way of camping supplies as possible, like tent and tarps, hammocks or cots, blankets, water filters, camping stove and fuel, pots and pans, and lots of rice and beans, and don't forget cooking oil.

    This is a message I saw first thing today. It was shared on an Ecuadorian expat FB page, and describes the current situation in the Seattle area, where I am from: For those who wonder what is happening in the USA: this is copied from another post. So if you're not here in Kirkland let me give you an update on our not so little town. Our local hospital, Evergreen, one of the top-ranked hospitals in the country and literally at ground zero in the fight against Coronavirus has run out of beds as of today. The staff is exhausted, demoralized, and supplies are running low. Because so many staff members are sick, and the operational tempo is so high, medical staff told to be in quarantine due to exposure, but not showing symptoms have been summoned back to work. So far 65 patients have entered the hospital positive for COVID-19, 15 didn't leave alive (as of 3/10). Tom Douglas, multiple James Beard Award winner is closing down 12 of his 13 restaurants (only leaving one open because of a contract with a hotel) because business is down 90%. Boeing, which was a hot mess with the 737-MAX issue, to begin with, is now losing more orders than it is getting as the airline industry braces for a 70% reduction in air travel. At the basement of 9/11, global air travel was off 40%. Norweigan Cruiselines, headquartered in Seattle, has been called out for lying to customers about the safety of their ships, their capacity to protect passengers and making it difficult to cancel or reschedule trips. Starbucks has announced they will be limited seating in their stores and ones with drive-thru will go drive-thru only. The Seattle Mariners have moved their home openers out of the area, for now, my guess is the MLB will follow every other sports league and suspend the start of baseball. Our school district has suspended classes until March 27, but my guess is it will go longer. Issaquah, a town nearby has suspended classes until April 24. I was in our nearest grocery store, which is a flagship "Fred Meyer" store (Kroger corp) and all of the staples aisles were close to empty. Beans, rice, flour, pasta. Beans about wiped out, the only rice I could find was a 5-pound bag in the Asian section. Only the high-end "boutique" pasta and a few more complex dish pasta like lasagna noodles. The Jewish section had some noodles in it, and the Asian section still had some ramen. There is no traffic. There is an eerie quiet in the air, and although the videos of people racing in Costco are entertaining, I have not seen anyone running in a store to the TP, fights over food, or other resources. There is this strange calm, but I always remind myself that history has shown we are three hot meals and a warm bed away from wanting to kill each other. My wife has shared some other stories from her work - nothing sinister or ominous but nothing I can share and nothing that even if I could, I feel ready to share. We no longer hear about Life Care Center. The federal government finally showed up there and now all news has stopped. The 70+ employees who are all in various states of being sick are still not tested - that we know. One-third of our town fire department is now in quarantine. If there is anything that gives me the creeps it is this. The government showed up and the news stopped. When we returned from our trip to Africa on 2/26 and went through Customs in Seattle, there was no screening, no questions, no testing, no sorting of passengers. Nothing. Welcome back, stamp of the passport, done. The lines weren't long and the lack of any form of screening at this Asian gateway was disconcerting. It paled in comparison to the strict protocols we went through in Windhoek and Johannesburg, and the announcements and questions in Frankfurt. What we didn't know at that time is from 2/19 to 2/25, 12 patients had died at Life Care Center for unknown reasons, and the first COVID-19 death was on 2/26. The response to the threat at a federal level was non-existent. My opinion. The Seattle area is about two weeks ahead of most of the United States. For those going this is just hype and this is just the flu, come fly here and see for yourself. I mean flights are cheap and planes are empty. Can even offer you a place to sleep.(no not really, but Kirkland has plenty of hotels) The Seattle area is probably 2 to 3 weeks behind Iran or Italy at this point. The tidal wave is coming, I believe most in the general public are just in denial about it at this point. In Italy Coronavirus is killing young and old alike because once you run out of beds, once you run out of breathing machines, Coronavirus becomes an equal opportunity killer. You get pneumonia, your lungs fill up, you basically drown. When you can get advanced care, your survival odds are very good. Once that system falls apart, it is first come first serve, and how healthy are you. A lot of younger Americans are very unhealthy with multiple comorbidity factors. Evergreen Hospital ran out of beds today. Winter is coming.

    According to some leaked information that was accidentally shown on a Chinese official website and immediately removed, and then published on a Polish website: In China, on February first, there were 154,000 cases and almost 25,000 deaths.

  16. The perfect weapon

    There used to be a law preventing hospitals in the US from making a profit. Someone paid someone to change that law and prices rose hundreds to thousands fold in hospitals. In addition, the laws require a medicine to be 'proven' effective, and the proofs cost millions of dollars. Therefore drug companies, who paid for that law, will only 'prove' that a medicine works if they can patent it, and it is not possible to patent natural ingredients. The proofs are kind of a joke anyway.
  17. Meditating to Music vs Meditating in Silence

    I define meditation as being in a state of non thinking. If a person can focus on the music 100%, to the extent of not thinking, then I would call it meditation. However it isn't so ideal because the act of focussing on the music, or on anything, like even breathing, creates a kind of tension which prevents going deeper.

    If that's true then it will be interesting to see how it turns out. We'll see if they might have a silver bullet available for the virus. Penicillin was the silver bullet that knocked out a lot of bacterial infections. Note keyword: silver

    Ya, I was just doing a little trolling with that, but it takes away from the first post, so I'll delete the picture. OK, well I deleted the picture from the source, but it looks like the forum copies it so it didn't disappear from here.

    There are things that indicate otherwise. For example, being overweight is a high risk factor for snuffing it, just like diabetes, smoking, and being elderly are, and 45% of Americans, like Numb Nuts, are obese. In any case, this following video has some information about How this thing was patented, and by who, and a simulation for this same virus was carried out in NY just before the epidemic started in China. Be advised: Some people might think this is all a conspiracy theory, some of the statements in the last half sound a wee bit far fetched..

    I think maybe you wanted to say don't where that do is In any case, the book is full of bad news for people who think they can learn nei kung from a book or a video, and who wants bad news? Not Walker. When you have a highly energized crown point you know stuff without knowing how you know it, and is why Lao Tzu said that the sage can sit in his room and know what is going on in the world.

    Thanks for the info @Walker. i was just sharing a doctor's congressional report. In fact washing hands doesn't make so much difference, because the main avenue of transmission is via the air that asymptomatic people breath out and you breath in. I knew this before it was officially reported.

    A military study found that those who get vaccinated against the flu will catch various pulmonary illnesses more often. If you look at the chart you will see that those who are vaccinated are three times more likely to get coronavirus. However, the WHO is advising people to get the flu shot to help with the epidemic. Military study on vaccines vs influenzas Numerical list per type - results of research - LOOK AT THE CHART - https://www.disabledveterans.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/DOD-Study-Influenza-Vaccine-Coronavirus-1024x388.jpg 507 is three times higher than 170, in the article they did the math wrong.
