  1. Re: To Mask or Not To Mask, that is the question

    My wife's a teacher, my mother-in-law was a teacher, my daughter is a teacher. Many of their friends are teachers. In this case, correlation does mean causation. Your statement is true.

  2. Soco Stay at Home Order Questions:

    It is not clear to me: is my child not living with me allowed (without fearing a penalty) to come to my house? I'm not asking if it is recommended (It is not, obviously), but is it in legal...
  3. Re: Please vote TODAY, 12/7, in Argus Courier poll to halt Verizon cell tower near homes

    I live in the west county. We need more and better cell phone coverage. Not less. worry about real things like Covid. don't worry about fake things. Or not, do what you like, what do I care what...
  4. Re: TIME CHANGE! Let's "Save" daylight

    oh good, I always like to correct people.

    Ca voted to -allow- staying on DST if it comported with Federal law.

    (p.s. notice the clever use of the ellipsis to subtly change meaning of the...
  5. Re: Excess Deaths

    Oh, and in case you missed my point (which from your reply I infer you did), far from hiding the fact that there have been 300,000 excess deaths (of which 220,000 some are widely published to be due...
  6. Re: Sonoma County Covid-19 The Numbers

    seems there are about 28 cases out of 41,000,000 of reinfection so far reported. so it can happen. But extremely rare. Less than 1 in a million. More likely you will be born with just 1 eye (4 in a...
  7. Re: Sonoma County Covid-19 The Numbers

    why do I do this to myself, but I will defend PamelaL, who said "has increased the number of cases reported."



    Seems to me the language was explicit: increased testing increases the number of...
  8. Re: Is China A Better World Leader than the United States?

    Your two choices don't really relate to either China or the US, if you view it in a rational way.

    China has a communist party, but other than it having dictator-like powers, it does not really...
  9. Re: Sonoma County Covid-19 The Numbers

    Not sure if you are days behind, but here is the report on April 7. Report shows April 5/6 had 4 and 4 new for 8 total. and 5 more on April 7. 15 new starting from April 4th - April 7 so 4 new...
  10. Re: How should Shelter in Place be eased?

    There are many "non-essential" businesses that could be safely re-opened. I would start with those first. Sole proprietorships, outside workers, businesses that can easily accommodate social...
  11. Re: Math problem

    correct answer to the question, but if you use a chop saw to cut the board, you might have to set it to 3 degrees (which is 3 degrees offset of a square (or 90 degree) cut. Yes, I know, obvious once...
  12. Re: Homeless Emergency on Joe Rodota Trail

    So at the risk of being called a racist xenophone:

    But there are also a LOT of illegal immigrants (yes, no human is illegal so please just put your favorite euphemism for undocumented people who...
  13. Re: Sebastopol City Council ready to move on climate emergency resolution

    The previous poster expressed a common frustration: communities focusing on nearly trivial sources of green house gases while ignoring the biggest contributors.

    In fact, since something like...
  14. DMV renewal scam

    So I went to renew my car (yes, electric of course) and googled dmv renewal. I picked a site that I thought was the official site. It looked official but was actually run by a company called etags....
  15. Re: Ceres Community Project defends Sebastopol garden against housing proposal

    How can we solve the affordable housing problem without more housing? Anyone know how many housing starts have occurred in Sebastopol last year? How about how many babies were born? We must embrace...
  16. Re: High Dump Fees Are a Mess

    This is, of course, a monopoly and not free market, and monopolistic utilities need to be regulated. The fees should represent the costs, plus a reasonable profit if the company runs it services...
  17. Re: 5G in Sebastopol & Graton

    I read the article, which does indeed critique the WHO, but I was surprised when I searched on Scholar.google.com, which is the go-to place for academic articles, and didn't find any articles there. ...
  18. Re: 5G in Sebastopol & Graton

    YES! Indeed I did. Here are the steps I took:
    1) Google "world health organization": it suggests www.who.int
    2) Go to www.who.int and select "Health Topics" and choose the letter M for mobile...
  19. Re: 5G in Sebastopol & Graton

    Completely agree. Here is what they say:

    Are there any health effects?
    A large number of studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a potential...
  20. Re: 5G in Sebastopol & Graton

    I get you believe this, and the article relates to RF radiation in general, and a big advance in 5G is reducing the level of RF radiation through the use of directional antennas. Your phone will...
  21. Re: 5G in Sebastopol & Graton

    I apologize if my analogy wasn't clear enough... I'm not well aquainted with the microwave weapons, but my understanding is that they use phase-array systems that are NOT electronically steerable...
  22. Re: 5G in Sebastopol & Graton

    I read the link above and I can attest that much of what they say is true, but taken so far out of context that the meaning is completely distorted. For example, it says:

    Prior to its use as a...
  23. Re: Occidental Farmers Market/ Change is inevitable... sooo

    Ok. I really, really can't tell if you are serious. It is three blocks. Three. Short. Blocks. Three very short blocks.

    If you parked near the Union it would be -exactly- the same distance. It...
  24. Re: 5G in Sebastopol & Graton

    The single highest cost for cell phone companies is the cost of electricity to run the air-conditioner to cool the transmitters. Want to make a $100billion? Find a way to reduce the transmitter power...
  25. Re: Traffic school in CA?

    choose the cheapest online school. It is just a silly bureaucratic hoop to jump through likely put in place by traffic school owners lobbying (bribing?) legislators. At the end of it, you will...
  26. Re: Huge industrial cannabis proposal near Graton: Wood Stove Thoughts

    I lived in Graton for 17 years (I used to take my 5 year old to Skips for french fries, and show him the bullet holes) before moving out of the big city to the hinterlands... And I remember the one...
  27. Re: Babies & other children taken from their parents "In our name"

    Why? Various reasons; some (maybe a lot) come because they have relatives here that encourage them with the safety and opportunity (economic migrants), some because the local area is completely crime...
  28. Re: Babies & other children taken from their parents "In our name"

    I read the link, and it just seems like a word salad that does nothing to address the core problem, and neither do you address the core problem. So I ask again, on the core problem of immigration, do...
  29. Re: Babies & other children taken from their parents "In our name"

    It says we are dealing with a difficult situation, with a choice of one bad outcome (child separation from parents who illegally enter the country, of their own choice) against another -presumed- bad...
  30. Re: Babies & other children taken from their parents "In our name"

    Jump to the bottom to see the two questions in bold if this is TLDNR, and please correct my understanding if my review of the judges' discussion isn't correct. What can be done depends on how you...
  31. Re: Airbnb Owners, please do the right thing

    Never done Airbnb but we will be using our guest house to provide shelter to a family. For less than 30 days, I guess there is no issue; but does anyone know if we need to keep the sheltering terms...
  32. Re: New hotel proposal in Barlow

    #SarcasmOn Nice ad hominem attack; very well played. #SarcasmOff;

    You irrationally oppose housing that would relieve the housing problem. Then when someone points out your irrational...
  33. Re: Immigrants improve Sweden.

    It's intolerable to you, but apparently it is NOT an intolerable risk for the parents. Why are you more concerned about keeping their family together than they are?

    If I choose to ride a bike...
  34. Re: Immigrants improve Sweden.

    which is why Bill Clinton (who's policies would be considered center-right republicanism in todays world) instituted welfare to work. It is extremely difficult to have a rational conversation on...
  35. Re: Speaking of PG&E Scam...Analogue Meter Users Heads-Up

    Power measured at about 2 meters were about -30 dBm as I recall, but I don't have the number for antenna efficiency so hard to convert that directly to transmitter power; you need the effective area...
  36. Re: Speaking of PG&E Scam...Analogue Meter Users Heads-Up

    Honestly, I would guess the smart meter in the woods would radiate more power than in the city since there are few other smart meters near; so I would conclude that most people would experience less...
  37. Re: Speaking of PG&E Scam...Analogue Meter Users Heads-Up

    Indeed, you are wrong. I am not affiliated with PG&E in any way. I am I guy who lives in the woods, and for some reason PG&E just got around to installing a smart meter. Since I have access to very...
  38. Re: Speaking of PG&E Scam...Analogue Meter Users Heads-Up

    This is not true. I have measured them myself. They are few and fleeting. In fact it is rather difficult to measure them as you have to have a real-time spectrum analyzer to even see them when they...
  39. Re: War on consciousness

    On the contrary, I would say many if not most of any bad thing you can think of is due to people acting in their own selfish interest. It is as old as human nature.

  40. Re: Enforce the Smart Meter Ban in Sebastopol

    It is entirely possible that the EKG trace is as it is presented. BUT: an EKG is measuring very small electric currents in the body, and then you run feet of long cables back to the recorder? I would...
  41. Re: Enforce the Smart Meter Ban in Sebastopol

    Indeed, I have presented many examples of such, and I will again. Start with WHO (alright, lots of right-wingers believe WHO is a communist front, but still ...)...
  42. Re: Enforce the Smart Meter Ban in Sebastopol

    You may be surprised, but I agree that the possibility of cutting off power is indeed the biggest threat of smart meters; Ostensively the reason for smart electric meters was to save money on reading...
  43. Re: roads of importance,some are created more equal.

    Well, I'm not sure that's entirely true. Bureaucracies increase because the first rule of bureaucracies is to protect and increase the bureaucracy. Many start out with good intentions, but those with...
  44. Re: roads of importance,some are created more equal.

    I've only used the road for 14 years, so a relative newcomer. But in 2000 the distance from the creek bed to the roadbed was about 7-10 feet. Now it is about 3 feet. Up until the '90's the creek...
  45. Re: roads of importance,some are created more equal.

    Yes, in the normal course of events regulations are needed to prevent individuals from defiling the environs, however when the regulations or their implementation become the end, rather than the...
  46. Re: roads of importance,some are created more equal.

    I'm not sure what "This" refers to. If "This" means the kind of governmental response we see here to an emergency situation as one of the proximate causes of Trumps election, then no, I don't think...
  47. Re: roads of importance,some are created more equal.

    Look to this to understand why Trump won.

    Clearly an emergency situation. clearly bad for the fish to be washed into the vineyard with no exit. Linda Hopkins expected an emergency permit issued in...
  48. Re: CVS to open this Sunday, Jan. 22 - What will you do? Support? Boycott? Protest?

    Pellini's had the right to sell the property. CVS had the right to buy it. CVS had the right to commercialize it in the way that they did. The city wanted crystal shops or something, but the city...
  49. Re: Enforce the Smart Meter Ban in Sebastopol

    In fact, if you were a blind futurist (you might prefer the term sight challenged) you would be very appreciative of having a self driving car, I would expect. Also if you were aged and infirmed.
