Las Vegas used to be infested with these in the 80's. I remember as a kid tying thread around their neck and watch it fly like a kite. We dug a hole one time (6 or 7 feet) down and found them in their nymph stage. Still puzzled how they were that deep.

I retract my previous post where I said the Joe Biden microphone video was manipulated.

Not exactly the answer to your question... Living In the Private
I've posted this before, but it is important, as I think this distinction for almost the entire population is gone.
I have several friends who have businesses that rely fully on the 80/20 rule. 80% of business comes from 20% of their customers. The problem with them ignoring the "mandates" is that their 20% are older, fearful, want masks. So one complied the other went bust. Risk for no reward is how people now see everything - fear first, freedom/morality/higher purpose is more an elective then a core class.
America’s nuclear facilities are spread out throughout the country, on over 2.4 million acres of federal real estate, overseen by the Department of Energy (DOE)—a labyrinth of a system the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists called “highly scattered and fragmented…with few enforceable rules.”
The epicenter of nuclear transit was the Pantex Plant, about 17 miles outside of downtown Amarillo, Texas, a maze-like complex of dozens of buildings located on 10,000 acres of land. Amarillo was the final destination for almost all of America’s nuclear trains and the Pantex Plant was the nation’s only assembly point for nuclear weapons, a role it maintains to this day.
Transportation of nuclear materials is currently overseen by the Office of Secure Transportation (OST), an agency that has attracted only minimal attention in the years since the fall of the Soviet Union. But a 2017Los Angeles Times investigation suggested problems may lurk beneath the surface. OST is understaffed, with the average courier working about 75 hours a week. Turnover is extremely high. In 2010, aDOE investigation found “widespread alcohol problems” within the agency, including incidents that occurred while couriers were on secure transportation missions. The DOE conceded that these episodes “indicate a potential vulnerability in OST’s critical national security mission.”
“We’ve been moving this stuff since the Cold War, and we’ve never had a major accident,” said Rosner. “But the system depends on secrecy. If we have an accident, that veil will be lifted.”
....The covert fleet, which shuttles warheads from missile silos, bomber bases and submarine docks to nuclear weapons labs across the country, is operated by the Office of Secure Transportation, a troubled agency within the U.S. Department of Energy so cloaked in secrecy that few people outside the government know it exists....
.....Where have these nuclear weapons gone? What threat do they pose? What is the military doing about it? More importantly, how many more are there out there that have vanished without a trace that we don’t even know about? It is startling that not only can this happen, but that we can have so little of an idea of what the repercussions might even be. This all seems rather unbelievable, yet even in this day and age of enhanced security and nuclear awareness this can still happen. Vanishing, unaccounted for nukes are still apparently very much a thing. Bear in mind that there are 7 of these things missing somewhere on U.S. soil. Do you know where they are? I know I don’t. But I sure wish I did. Sleep tight.
Finally, the southern California location that was chosen for tunneling cost analysis is thought provoking. This is precisely one of the regions of the West where there is rumored to be a secret tunnel system. Did the A.A. Mathews study represent part of the planning for an actual covert tunneling project that was subsequently carried out, when it was determined that it was more cost effective to use NSTMs than mechanical TBMs?
Whether or not nuclear subterrene tunneling machines have been used, or are being used, for subterranean tunneling is a question I cannot presently answer.
A boom was heard and felt across San Diego on Wednesday afternoon. Just after 4:50 p.m. residents from across the county reported that they heard a loud boom sound and experienced shaking for 2-3 seconds.

Hey i am saying they don't have the right to arrest you for not wearing a mask is all. They can ASK you to wear one but they can't arrest you when there is no mandate. I hope that makes sense of what I was trying to say earlier.
Reports of mysterious booms, sometimes accompanied by flashes of light,have been on the rise worldwide since 2017. Many different phenomena are used to explain away the separate instances of earth-rattling events, but so far nothing works as a blanket explanation for the very similar explosive experiences.

Personally, I think the vast majority of those who claim they know someone who died from it, are just blindly accepting what they are told... and when pressed, will admit that whoever it was had multiple serious problems, and that it was those problems that caused them to die, and that pretty much any opportunistic virus or infection could have done them in.
Despite the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) record of oppression, corporate media outlets are parroting the authoritarian government’s propaganda, even in the midst of an outbreak the CCP worsened through a cover-up. Many of those media outlets have financial ties to Chinese companies with intense oversight from the CCP.....
We do not know the extent of editorial oversight from corporations and individuals with financial incentives to placate the CCP, if any. But we know the incentives exist, and that’s worth understanding. Below is a breakdown of financial ties between major U.S. media organizations and the CCP.

A federal judge on Thursday agreed with Ghislaine Maxwell’s request to keep certain details in the criminal case against her secret — finding that information would be too "sensational and impure" to reveal to the public.
U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan issued a ruling on redactions that Maxwell had asked for regarding transcripts the government filed under seal last month.
"Those portions of the transcript, which were redacted in the civil matter, concern privacy interests and their disclosure would merely serve to cater to a ‘craving for that which is sensational and impure,’" Nathan wrote in the order....
......He is also on the board of directors for The Humpty Dumpty Institute, which works with the UN to rebuild developing countries. He reportedly loaned the international charity at least $100,000 in 2014.
Very involved in politics, he led a congressional delegation of Republican and Democratic representatives to an event being held in Belgium in April 2019.

catching up so I'll jump on decoding those new Storm Rider tweets pteridine.
Meanwhile, can you or any planefags tell me what this may mean? There is a US P8 up over NW coast of Scotland:
a) Seems to be heading over Irish Sea towards Greenland,
b)Call sign _Tactical, HexIDAE683A... (6+8+3=17),
c) Transponder only starts on Scottish East Coast (Invergordon),
d) it's the only visible military plane up over UK now, 06:21am UTC.
Unusual? Is it tracking Russian subs, that usually go between Scotland/Iceland to reach Atlantic.
Russia has deployed all six of its Black Sea Fleet submarines as NATO drills kicked off in the area, the state-run RIA Novosti news agency reported Friday. . . . The commander of the Black Sea Fleet’s submarine flotilla, Captain 1st Rank Anatoly Varochkin, called the deployment “unprecedented.”
Joe Biden's residence may not compare to the extravagant, $100 million penthouse Donald Trump called home while running for president, but we definitely wouldn't say he's roughing it. The former VP and once-dubbed "poorest senator" has been doing quite well since he and Barack officially left office, reportedly raking in millions thanks to book deals and speaking events (some paying up to $200,000). So why wouldn't he move into a 12,000-square-foot Georgian style home "surrounded by Washington elite" in McLean, Virginia?
