I forget which Italian said it was a hard year for Italians. Between Fauci, the Cuomo brothers and so on.

Dr. Anthony Fauci turned 81 years old on Christmas Eve. But he still isn’t retired.
When he does decide to retire, Forbes reported that he will “reap the largest federal retirement package in U.S. history.”
Forbes auditors at OpenTheBooks.com estimated that Fauci’s annual retirement income would exceed $350,000.
“Thereafter, his pension and benefits would continue to increase through annual cost-of-living adjustments,” Forbes reported.
Fauci has spent 55 years as a federal employee. He has served as an adviser to multiple administrations, and since 1984, he has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institutes of Health.

I’m starting to build a position (God knows why). I definitely think this news was know a few days ago helping it to break $25. I’m hoping for a move to $.30 before zero.
Old habits die hard my friend.

Bacteria may have played big role in the formation of massive silver, gold deposits
Bacteria may have played a major role in the formation of some of the world’s largest silver or gold deposits, according to new research.
The inference was drawn by scientists at Penn State University and the University of Saskatchewan after they found silver in coprolites, or fossilized feces, collected from the Ravens Throat River Lagerstätte in the Mackenzie Mountains located in Canada’s Northwest Territories.

In a paper published in the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, the team explained that a lagerstätte is a deposit of exceptionally preserved fossils that sometimes includes fossilized soft tissues, or in this case fossilized worm dung.

The Philippines has lifted a four-year-old ban on open-pit mining for copper, gold, silver and complex ores, an official said on Tuesday, marking the second landmark policy move this year as the government tries to revitalize the industry.

I’m not fat at least so less cells to oxygenate but boy that sounds scary.
I wonder what made her laugh. I saw nothing funny about it. It was like every cell in my body was telling me they’re not getting air they need air and fast all at once. I didn’t know if I was gonna make it to the gondola. Then it stops. Im thinking figures. Nothing but trees around me so no use calling for them but taught me to have a phone if it worked or a paracord.
Just don’t smoke.

You probably would of done well surfing too. The longer you can hold your breath the higher waves you can surf. In North Cal they get up to 70 ft. For that you need to hold your breath 4-5 minutes just in case. The average seasoned surfer from what I remember is about 2 minutes. That will make you pretty safe in 20 footers.
North Cal just had a death. Surfs up isn’t really here he was just boogie boarding.
I have a problem diving because I’m buoyant. I keep wanting to float back up.
Gods probably was trying to keep me around for something. But when my little brother only nine swam out to where I was surfing and taking in a bully and having fun there he was and it pulled him under. I had a heck of a time even in the same undertow to keep diving deeper till I found him. Luckily I found him pretty quick.
( To clarify, I skipped around the subject. Not my brother but a bogie boarder was sadly killed) A shark got him a female surfer recognized something was off with his board something craving it, found him pulled him out but he was already gone.
Seems like every odd number year there’s a shark attack by the great whites.

My friend had a similar experience when he took his (fat) cousin up the mountain. At the top she decided to have a cigarette. About three puffs into it she put it out and started laughing…. and gasping… and laughing convulsively. The boys piled her into the back seat as she was turning purple, and laughing/gasping as they drove her down to lower elevations as fast as they could. She finally stopped gasping and recovered her pink color down around 9,000 ft. She says it was the best laugh she ever had… even if it nearly killed her!

which does increase hemoglobin concentration , I believe . In addition , I found out later that I have oversized lungs – back in the day of using photographic plates for lung X-rays , they had to use a second image to get the lower part of my lungs . As a kid growing up next to Lake Huron beaches my friends used to challenge me to see who could swim underwater the farthest . I always won – by a lot , so they would claim that I came up for air along the way . It got worse in high school because they took up smoking . I didn’t . I was also more slender , so hydrodynamic drag was less .
When I was scouting age , I joined the Sea Scouts . In the summer months we met at a ‘shack’ on yacht club property and would dive for bottle caps the Skipper would toss into the water . He once asked me to swim down to the bottom to gather up some … about 20 – 25 feet down . I did , but surfaced with a splitting headache . Sinuses ? I’ll never forget that pain !
Maya-sounds like you were scaling cliffs . The one I did was just a hike on an established trail . Below the ridge bluff was a glacier , so you would bring something waterproof to wrap around like a diaper , then slide down to the lake at the bottom of the bowl – half a mile maybe . Even on the cold surface , the speed and friction were enough to heat one’s backside to a very uncomfortable level – almost a burn .

Do you have a power splitter of some sort, or were you doing it by hand?

Those living in the mountains I never studied it but they’re lungs are developed to take in what air there is. Even at lower mountain I lived as a kid I noticed after awhile moving to lower elevations you don’t need to use all of your lungs.
I noticed my lower lungs particularly but when you go back up they kick in.
That’s without any injury or illness that could damage them along the way.
As time went on after picking up cigarette and through the years I could still go to higher levels because my lower lungs not using them as much were not totally but spared from the damage. What I noticed first was scuba diving and getting tight, harder to breath. You have to get past the upper lungs to get to lower.
Then a few years back I went up to Tahoe and went on the Gondola takijg you up higher. I was fine UNTIL I was waiting for people who were sliding down a mountain and lit up a cigarette. Then went back up so I lit up another and oh no. I could feel the oxygen leaving me like a air raft with a leak. I was losing air through body like hypoxia fast. I knew In had to move down the mountain fast went to the Gondola jumped on and headed down. Part way down it just stopped. I think they didn’t know anyone was there cuz I was there for about 5 minutes it seemed. Luckily I could breath again or those idiots could of found a dead person floating around on a gondola lol That’s when I thought about a paracord. Might be a good thing to have for those lifts.

Measured from the seafloor, the Maunakea volcano is the tallest on the planet. Next door Maunaloa… “long mountain”… is the most massive mountain on the planet. It is slowly settling into the crust, and we have small 2.5 earthquakes almost daily.
See… you weren’t careful! 🙂
There is an access road to the telescopes at the summit. One has to be very careful and access is now restricted. But I have been up there several times. They recommend stopping at the visitor center at 9,000 ft elevation for 30-45 minutes minimum to acclimate to the altitude. Even just sitting in a car, it is a ‘gasper’ at the summit.
But I love mountain-topping. In my 20s I climbed Mt. Sneffels in Colorado at 14,156 ft. I know the insane breathing management it takes to crawl up a wall at those altitudes.
