@keepitquarterly This is the opposite of transparency!
The system as it stands now works fine. I look at it like earthquakes. Small quakes release pressure so that it doesn't build pressure into a major cataclysm.

🚨 RUBIO SHOCKING STATEMENT 🚨

🇺🇸 SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO:

“IF THE U.S. REMOVES TROOPS FROM EUROPE… THAT’S THE END OF NATO.”

SAYS U.S. MILITARY PRESENCE IS THE BACKBONE OF THE ALLIANCE.

WITHOUT THE U.S., DOES NATO EVEN EXIST?

TRUMP WARNS NATO MAY… Show more

@Gosleepriya 116 if you move the middle stick in the 4.

SEC Rule S7-2026-15 would let public companies hide bad numbers for six months at a time. Insiders dump their shares before disclosure, retail buys the bag. Comment is open until early July.

MICROSOFT CAN ERASE YOUR ENTIRE COMPUTER!

A man is going viral after exposing what millions of Windows users are just now realizing about Bill Gates’ Microsoft.

"I think they should have to go to jail for this."

Windows updates quietly turn on OneDrive without a plain English warning.
Your files don’t get “backed up.”
They get moved.

Your computer becomes a temporary access point.
Microsoft’s servers become the primary copy.

Then the trap snaps shut.

People report:
• Family photos gone
• Work files wiped
• Years of data erased
• Clean desktops with no warning
• A little icon asking: “Where are my files?”

Many thought it was ransomware.
It wasn’t.

Turning OneDrive off can delete everything locally.
Deleting files to “free up space” deletes them everywhere.
The only way out? A buried menu… or a YouTube tutorial.

Nowhere does it clearly say:

“We are transferring your entire computer to our servers.”

Millions clicked “Update” without knowing this was included.

If a company can silently take control of your files and delete them with one wrong click - how is this not malware?

Mike Rowe had his mother, best selling author Peggy Rowe on his recent podcast.

After her daily morning swim, Peggy saw a woman's backside in the locker room. She had an unusual tattoo on her rear-end, so Peggy asked her about it.

You won't believe what it was. 😂

The strangest thing about the Lycurgus Cup is that its magic is almost invisible.

This 4th century Roman cage cup shows King Lycurgus trapped in Dionysus’ vines, but the real anomaly is in the glass itself.

Notice how the body glows ruby red when backlit.

The effect comes from tiny silver-gold nanoparticles, not a cup made of 70% silver and 30% gold.

Was this a controlled Roman recipe, or an elite workshop accident they learned to repeat?

There are 2 gas stations in Florence, Kentucky that appear to have cameras above the toilet stalls

If you look closely they’re not actually cameras, they are lights. The lights point at reflective disco balls

Here’s how it works

- Inside the bathroom, there’s a prominent red button labeled something like “Do Not Push This Button” with a winking frog

- Push it → The bathroom transforms into a 60-second disco party

I found the exact locations of you’d like to experience this

Dandelion root extract has been found to kill colon cancer cells.

Laboratory studies have shown that aqueous dandelion root extract (DRE) can induce programmed cell death (apoptosis) in more than 95% of human colon cancer cells within 48 hours, while leaving normal healthy cells largely unaffected.

What distinguishes DRE is its ability to activate both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent apoptotic pathways. Caspases are key enzymes that dismantle cellular structures during apoptosis, and many standard cancer therapies depend on this mechanism. However, resistant tumors often develop ways to evade caspase activation.

DRE appears to bypass such resistance by engaging alternative signals, including mitochondrial pathways that operate independently of caspases.

Remarkably, the extract remained effective against cancer cells lacking a functional TP53 gene—a critical tumor suppressor frequently mutated in advanced cancers, contributing to treatment resistance and poor outcomes. This resilience against p53-deficient cells highlights DRE's potential against aggressive, therapy-resistant tumors.

In mouse models implanted with human colon cancer cells, oral administration of DRE substantially suppressed tumor growth—reducing volume by over 90%—without causing toxicity or harming normal tissues. This selectivity is rare among conventional treatments.

Researchers attribute this targeted action to cancer cells' heightened metabolic demands and reliance on dysfunctional mitochondria for energy. DRE exploits these weaknesses by destabilizing mitochondrial membranes and elevating reactive oxygen species levels, creating a toxic environment preferentially lethal to malignant cells.

While these preclinical findings—from cell cultures and animal xenografts—are promising and suggest multi-pathway targeting, they remain early-stage. No human clinical trials have yet confirmed anti-cancer efficacy or safety in patients, and DRE is not a proven treatment for cancer.

@TheEXECUTlONER_ You're missing the point of life. The point of life is the experience. If we eliminate the things you suggest, and only buy what you can eat, how boring life would be. What memories would you have? What stories could you tell?

@warDaniel47 This will raise the base cost of a home which will raise the taxable value of the home, in turn leading to higher property tax receipts.

This one is easy. It's a septic tank. Before sewer systems in rural areas they used exactly this type of method. Probably prior to 1960 and even earlier. That is the access panel which had a tapered edge so it wouldn't fall in. The hatch was sealed with tar or a type of tar infused material to make it easy to remove for pumping out. Using that method made it easier to remove the access slab for pumping out sludge. There are 2 clues that give it away.
1. To remove the hatch, a lever would be used with a chain or rope to lift the lid. The handle was made of either a rod of metal or rebar. Over time, the tar seeps out and the hatch becomes much harder to remove.
2. if it couldn't be lifted, it would be chipped away all around the edge until it could be lifted. If not, a hole was made and a wedge (like a very large crowbar) would be used to break the seal. A new tapered lid would have to be made in the same fashion with a handle to replace the old one. The key is that only the lid is chipped and it looks like someone was successful in removing the lid.. That's exactly how it was done.
The electric wire was probably for a pump and it was left in place.
When public sewers come in to the area, the septic tanks were typically covered with dirt and forgotten.
