I could say, “How did the state I loved the best turn into such an obdurate and ossified place?” But, to be honest, growing up there, we were all aware of the “good ole boy” network and the corruption in politics. It’s not changed in 55 years, except for “Old Sparky” being retired.
Florida’s governor is just a shiny new example of the state’s long history of suppression and authoritarianism, backdoor business dealing, and bigotry. And sadly he’s from my home town; we went to the same high school. It feels “dirty.” I don’t want any connections to him!
… unless I’m running for office against him! I really believe the sheeple have got to turn the state around! To wit:
Florida State Legislature repugnants ended their session on Friday, passing 200 out of the 1828 bills that were filed.
Florida Republicans, who passed a 15-week abortion ban last year yet went on to dominate the 2022 midterms, have not held back.
GOP members filed a six-week abortion ban bill – with exceptions for rape and incest – on the first day of session.
Pro-abortion groups protested loudly and frequently. On one particularly contentious day, Senate President Kathleen Passidomo cleared her chamber’s gallery following numerous angry shouts. That evening, Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried, Senate Democratic Leader Lauren Book and other protesters were arrested outside of Tallahassee City Hall.
Nevertheless, Republican lawmakers quickly pushed the bills through the Capitol.
There was one notable sign, though, that concerns aren’t nonexistent – especially for one with political aspirations beyond Florida.
DeSantis signed the legislation into law hours after it passed – but late at night, and without a press conference. He remained uncharacteristically quiet on the law in the days following.
The 15 week abortion ban is waiting review by the Florida Supreme Court to review it for constitutionality. But they still rushed through the 6 week ban.
And I feel for all the marginalized residents having to deal with “don’t say gay” and don’t be “woke” agenda.
… there’s HB 1521, which criminalizes transgender Floridians from using public bathrooms matching their gender identity.
HB 1069 too passed, which expands last year’s Parental Rights in Education law, called “Don’t Say Gay” by critics. The sweeping measure bars teachers from referring to someone by a pronoun or name that doesn’t correspond to their sex assigned at birth, a measure that LGBTQ advocates say will harm transgender students and teachers.
SB 1580 allows state medical professionals to refuse to carry out health care services if they conflict with their religious beliefs or moral convictions. Opponents worry the measure could lead to medical discrimination, especially against the LBGTQ community.
And SB 254 puts more teeth to Florida’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors and adds some restrictions to the care for adults.
Florida House Republicans also approved SB 266, a bill that bans funding for diversity, equity and inclusion programs and restricts teaching about race and gender on college campuses.
And then there is SB 7050, which changes the law to make it okay for a sitting governor to run for president without resigning. DeSantis has not signed these yet, but the session just ended Friday. If and when he signs, I’ll bet they are are signed quietly.

I think we may be of service to each other. We prefer the meat up here more than the rangy tasting human. And we are not the type to squeal on those that assist us.
This is why we suggest that entry by these cannibals be restricted. They would prey upon those of us they pretend to want to work as equals with.
We find it interesting that you use a human term (cannibals), one that does not apply to us as we do not eat our own, to show your displeasure with us. It is especially telling as you have shown that you are not above feasting upon those humans who you have pretended to want to work with as equals.

According to a study in Agronomy, hydrogen peroxide applied to your plants once a week can help with their growth and mineral accumulation. The study found that by adding the first aid item to plants, their iron, calcium, and potassium levels were improved. How do you incorporate it and hopefully give your plants a little bit of a boost?
The process is pretty simple. You’ll dilute the hydrogen peroxide mixing one part of it with two parts of water. Add the mixture to a spray bottle or watering can and water your plant as normal, just with the hydrogen peroxide mix. You’ll do this process once a week, and be sure the soil is dry when you do. Keep up the process until your plant is revived and the roots look healthy. Then, if you need to pull out the trick again, you can.
While hydrogen peroxide is a handy trick to add to your plant care routine as needed, there’s another you might be skipping.

you also need to aerate your indoor plants, too.
If you’ve got a plant and the soil feels tight, aerating could be just the thing you need. When your soil is compacted, water will often seem as though it’s running straight through to your drainage holes, and your poor plant’s roots aren’t getting any water. Indoor plants, specifically, need aeration as they don’t have worms and other insects doing so naturally.
To fix this, Darryl Cheng, author of The New Plant Parent recommends using a wooden dowel to poke holes in your soil and break up hose hardened clumps. All you have to do is insert the dowel in several different places throughout your pot until you feel the soil is loosened. Then, water as normal.
As for how often you should aerate, Cheng said each plant is different. You’ll need to approach each one’s soil individually, but it certainly shouldn’t be done each time you water. Instead, look for signs that the soil isn’t absorbing water and feel for any particular hardening.

New concerns have arisen concerning the transport of humans one expects to arrive at a destination alive and in relatively very good health. Some of the problems arise when we use air pressure to cloak. Human heads are made up of pockets of air called sinuses. Usually, those pockets of air are at equilibrium with the atmospheric pressure in their surroundings. When there’s a change in that atmospheric pressure, it creates a change in what they are experiencing in their heads and what’s going on in the air around them.
For a better understanding of how this affects the human brain, see the weapons log on calibrating human stingers – {settings for kill, stun, or confuse} – U*/; – {settings for assisting with or causing control of blood sugar or joint pain} – M*/.
The problem for human survival in transportation chambers doesn’t arrive when the cloaking process is initiated, it is always present in their chambers and must be adjusted according to their atmospheric pressure needs. We have found that when transporting humans the best chamber pressure is around 29.80 to 30.20 inHg. Our success statistics support our findings. We are the foremost operation of providing live functional human meat to the Milky Way Galaxy. As such, our data provides the best statistical data for healthy human transportation.
The resistance to allowing human eaters to the discussion on the safest and best way to transport humans is illogical. We have been collectively transporting human meat to markets across the galaxy for more than a thousand years. Yes, some of us don’t care how the meat is transferred. But many of us specialize in providing meat that can satisfy the demanding palates of our customers. Many of whom require a human meat alive and capable of experiencing the human terror that produces various degrees of enzymes in their bodies, including the extraordinary taste adrenaline adds to their flavor. We have provided the meats that meet those qualifications. Hence for a small fraction of the population of humans you wish to transport we can do the better job.

J*/~, Your problems stem from the way you examine earth weather and atmospheric conditions. Being that you are from a waterless world, you got the assignment to assist in the reconfiguring the Mars project for temporary human relocation.
However, your people are experiencing difficulty adjusting to the earth atmosphere because you are using the wrong data to judge how and when to expose your people to the earth climate environment. Forgo using “relative humidity” as your measurement of when and how long to expose your people to Earth’s environmental conditions.
Too much or too sudden water exposure can be fatal to your people, hence you don’t allow them to arrive in areas experiencing a wet(dew on the ground) surface. Many accidents have occurred because you have been using calibrators based on the Humidity at those spots. Lessons in H2O exposure on the planet earth can be found via U*/ -{creating a cloaking environment}-/.
But the short of it is determining the temperature at which the air on earth must be cooled to have a relative humidity of 100%. Anything below that temperature is when the airborne water vapor becomes liquid water, and that’s when you see dew(water on the surface of the earth caused by temperature) on the ground, hence the name. Avoid using the measure of Humidity and look to determining the “Dew Point.” It will tell you how much water exposure your people will have to encounter when they land on Earth.
We would like to take this opportunity to object to giving J*/~ the exclusive assignment of managing the human move to Mars. An exponentially higher amount of Ultra-Violet radiation reaches Mars’ surface, than reaches the Earth’s surface, from their Sun, even though Mars is much farther out (about another 40 million miles). The problem is Mars’ thin atmosphere, at about 1/100 the density of Earth’s. It blocks almost no radiation, in essence, sterilizing it’s surface. This is a major issue to be solved for long term human stays on the planet. We have demonstrated that we can terraform Mars using the introduction of water to the planet. Water on Mars similar to Earth’s would pose a lethal danger to J*/, hence we would be the better choice to herd the humans to Mars. The objection by J*/ that we are meat eaters and hence cannot be trusted to be good shepherds of the human sheep can logically be removed as we would need on a tiny % of the humans as food. They breed at an incredible rate so the % that we eat would hardly be missed.
We would like to take this opportunity to suggest that our weapons for handling humans are superior to the U*/. We use a method that is almost impossible for humans to trace. One, we especially like drops the atmospheric pressure around the humans it is deployed against so that the oxygen in the air around them drops so significantly that they lose consciousness immediately. If set to a higher level they die from lack of oxygen. Hence, we respectively request the opportunity to demonstrate our arsenal of weapons to be used on Earth.
Why are we who eat humans considered negatively? Don’t humans kill innocent animals every day for food? Do you think those poor creatures don’t suffer? Humans eat their meat and cook them as they prefer. Some humans even prefer their meat raw. There are humans on earth that feed on other humans. Consider what their men do to women and innocent children and other little creatures. To survive humans are willing to commit the unimaginable without any mercy.Yet, there are some aliens that hate us for eating humans. Why? Humans coined a word to describe the cruelty of men, “Evil.” It is apropos because men are evil in flesh and blood. With a little negotiation, we could become human wolves among humans and cull the human herd.
Note to alien women who can’t get satisfied by sex with human men. I have a human friend he is several thousand years old, actually he may be even older than that. He is immortal. He has been explaining sex to me. He says the goal of sex is pleasure, hence when you are having sex you should know what you really want. You have to focus on your own pleasure. To where you want to be touched, and where you will get pleasure. You should learn about what your partner really wants, get him to tell you what excites him. Remember after he has satisfied your sexual desires. It’s your turn to fulfill his needs.
Did he tell you that you could pass on his sexual advice? When he meets us tomorrow you should tell him. Remember how he says one should never reveal the name of their secret paramour. He says not for several hundred years has he enjoyed the pleasure of talking and spending time with a woman and that is why he is sharing what he is experiencing. I don’t think that means that we have permission to tell others.
I think that he has found another human he likes even if that means he will lose her to her finiteness. I know this because he is already fantasizing about “if she could only see herself as he sees her.” He delights in telling us about how her smile and eyes are so expressive; how her lips are so perfectly formed; how her neck and nape are so attractive when her beautiful hair falls from them and gives him a peek. He says he remembers every kiss they have shared and the warmth of her body while they’re each other’s arms. Look at him when he is telling us how her looking at him while he’s on top of her is the most thrilling thing he has experienced in more than a 100 years. Oh, and don’t forget his smile as he tells us he can hear her moans in his sleep. Be careful that you don’t piss him off. He may be more dangerous than we know. Remember we have been told by our motherships that he is the only true IMMORTAL we know exists.
Only the Three Gods are Immortal. He can be killed, we just don’t know how yet. Remember our assignment is to find out how.
That discussion is forbidden here.
Note: To you. After I have sex with a humsn, I eat him. If he satisfies me, I let him live another day. I love the look on their face When I become 27 feet tall. He gets to see the biggest pussy he has ever seen just before I shove his head in it. Delicious!!
Hello Bilquis
Looked that up. LOL, if only. But I like the way your think.
Any comments on kratom?
The main problem is that the dosages cannot be ascertained. It takes effect after 5 to 10 minutes, and its effects last from 2 to 5 hours. The effects become stronger as the quantity taken increases. Kratom is more potent than morphine.
At one time, some researchers believed that kratom might be a safe alternative to opioids and other prescription pain medications. However, studies on the effects of kratom have identified many safety concerns and no clear benefits.
Kratom has been reported to cause abnormal brain function when taken with prescription medicines. When this happens, you may experience a severe headache, lose your ability to communicate or become confused.
In a study testing kratom as a treatment for symptoms of opioid withdrawal, people who took kratom for more than six months reported withdrawal symptoms similar to those that occur after opioid use. Too, people who use kratom may begin craving it and require treatments given for opioid addiction, such as naloxone (Narcan) and buprenorphine (Buprenex).
Kratom also adversely affects infant development. When kratom is used during pregnancy, the baby may be born with symptoms of withdrawal that require treatment.
In addition, substances that are made from kratom may be contaminated with salmonella bacteria. As of April 2018, more than 130 people in 38 states became ill with Salmonella after taking kratom. Salmonella poisoning may be fatal, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has linked more than 35 deaths to Salmonella-tainted kratom. Salmonella contamination has no obvious signs, so the best way to avoid becoming ill is to avoid products that may contain it.
Kratom is not currently regulated in the United States, and federal agencies are taking action to combat false claims about kratom. In the meantime, your safest option is to work with your doctor to find other treatment options.
The discussion of temporarily stationing some humans on Mars has now adequately covered the fact that Mars has more cosmic radiation and more radiation from solar storms because it has almost no magnetic field to protect from solar storms and almost no atmosphere to protect from cosmic radiation and give additional protection from solar storms. So is an emergency terraforming in place, or will Earth tanks be used?
Test
Let the discussion for temporary relocation to Mars for earthlings be open. The other proposed planets will be discussed in order of their distance from Earth’s solar system.
The main problem with using Mars as a temporary location is deciding how to protect humans from two kinds of radiation from their sun. They pose two kinds of problems for humans. The fast moving particles, which cause the solar storms, and the photons from the sunlight both have to be neutralized to guarantee any kind of human survival on Mars. Have at it.
On the question of terraforming Mars, these facts must be considered. Mars gets about half the amount of sunlight Earth does. Even with an Earth atmosphere, it would not be warm enough for trees to grow there at the equator without extra help such as planet scale thin film mirrors in space, or industrial levels of production of greenhouse gases (cubic kilometers of material needing to be mined every century to make the gases).
On the Mars surface you get much more UV light than on Earth where most of it is absorbed in the ozone layer. But other levels of light are much less.
We recommend duplicating the earth’s Stratosphere and Ionosphere. Duplicating their stratosphere will give them protection from harmful ultraviolet rays. Duplicating their Ionosphere will give them protection from the x-rays of their sun and make wireless communication possible for them on Mars.
An unprotected human on Mars could die if exposed to a solar storm for a few hours unless they got immediate emergency intensive care. So solar storm shelters would be essential if humans are transported to Mars before terraforming the planet .
They would be protected from solar storms in a cave such as have been found on both the Moon and Mars. Or we could build shelters from materials naturally occurring on the planet by covering those constructed habitats with several meters of “soil” (regolith, rocks “gardened” by meteorites over billions of years into a soil like consistency).
Is the purpose here is to discuss the sheltering of humans on Mars or the relocation of humans on Mars?
Those designated for farming will be “relocated” to Mars. However, the journey is still the journey. The longer, the more problematic. It seems the water that makes them delicious also makes them vulnerable to space travel. Unless compensated for that water will either freeze or evaporate under current space travel conditions. Technology for the evacuation of billions has never been considered. Going to Mars, no problem, going outside their solar system at speeds necessary to meet destination requirements needs technology that can only be developed from research.
Those thinking of terraforming Mars to be like Earth are forgetting the need to duplicate Earth’s Magnetic Field. The field would be needed to protect humans from Cosmic radiation. How will this be possible since Mars doesn’t have the inner core similar to the earth’s? Most of the Cosmic radiation approaching Mars that is traveling at close to the speed of light will get through and pose a life threatening danger to humans.
We do not see the need to duplicate exactly Earth’s Magnetic Field. Humans can be protected from Cosmic radiation by duplicating Earth’s atmosphere and dumping ten tons per square meter into Mars’s atmosphere. Rays from cosmic radiation are hardly deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field at all, magnetic fields provide no protection from them. On the contraire, Earth’s atmosphere does a great job of protecting humans. As on Earth many of the particles will still get through because those particles are traveling at close to the speed of light. But human bodies are adapted to tolerate that low level of radiation so they are no problem for them. Hence exact duplication of Earth’s atmosphere is far more important than an exact duplication of Earth’s Magnetic Field.
F]*, you miss an important detail. Because of Earth’s Magnetic Field being constantly in flux, Earth doesn’t get the the kind of solar storms that Mars does. Hence it is just as important to duplicate, exactly, Earth’s Magnetic Field to give humans protection from solar storm radiation. Yes, Earth’s atmosphere can provide addition protection from Solar radiation, but it’s main affect is to protect humans from Cosmic radiation.
I stand corrected. The ISS orbits within the Earth’s magnetic field so as to be protected from the worst effects of solar storms. Those can be extremely high levels of radiation. An astronaut unprotected in deep space or a human on Mars could die if exposed to a solar storm for a few hours unless they got immediate emergency intensive hospital care. So solar storm shelters are essential for any deep space exploration or stay on Mars.
Note: Our research response was directed by facilities under F[8’s direct command. It is from that branch this statement is issued.
L*/, you are creating too much atmospheric space charge when you enter Earth’s troposphere. That must be corrected immediately.
Done, but when did humans learn the difference between a lighting bolt caused by us and one caused by an active volcano?
No, disrespect for LeI’s edict intended. If at fault will retract and retreat. But the IMMORTAL once roamed the Earth as a Megatherium according to our records and destroyed several of our ancestor’s Hovercrafts. Historical logs show that the Mothership was tempted to enter Earth’s atmosphere and destroy it, but was advised by survivors of a previous encounter that the Megatherium was not what it appeared to be. It could change into a 68 foot being similar to present day humanoids. It had wings capable of expanding their wing span at will, and most importantly it was invulnerable to their weapons’ systems. This fact deterred the Mothership from making an encounter with the IMMORTAL since the message came from a Mothership with far superior weapon’s capability than theirs. This encounter occurred about 11,570 Earth years ago.

The alien that was Hedy Lamarr wants to return to Earth. We are voting no on that. She demonstrated that she could not be trusted when she was there as the actress. It should not be lost that she attempted to give humans the technology that is the basis for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, during World War II.
Why should she be trusted not to give them technology that they are not ready to have this time too? She was banned from Earth for all time. Unless we are mistaken time is still running.
