    Any experience with pre-paid cremation?

    There are more envirosafe methods available now. One is to freeze with liquid nitrogen and drop on a concrete floor. The bits are sweept up and buried in an untreated wooden box. Second new one I read about is to immerse the body in a particular liquid. Only takes days to Liquefy the...

    cameras, motion detectors, break ins

    I have both motion sensing cameras and a couple of motion activated lights. Motion sensing lights are a cheap way to go for night time deterrents. Motion sensing cameras are best for after the fact. Just had a guy convicted of being naughty by supplying photos to LEOs. Cameras sometimes...

    How much storage?

    My personal perspective is to avoid too much storage space as I tend to accept the underlying challenge to fill it. I went from a backpack and lots of Bushwalking and Camping to a Tin Tent with a fixed bed. I do have a home base where I can store stuff and do rotate current favourite bits...

    12 Volt ground question

    My Campervan has bonded panels. Using the body/chassis as earth return is consistent with the design of the vehicle. If doing a trailer build from scratch, a circular earth buss of serious copper is what I would do. Trailer chassis parts and panels are often steel and electrical...

    Why is there so much confusing info regarding covid19?

    Places like New Zealand and Australia have effectively stopped the spread.    Opening up is happening in stages and resources ready for any kind of second wave are in place.   Agreement on what works at Administration level never conceded that any percentage of the population would be exposed.  ...

    what are you doing while under lockdown?

    I have finished the roof rack and can now put the kayak up out of the way in seconds. I also redid the fridge slide and can access the fridge from inside, all locked up, and from outside when the sliding door is open. Re-doing the sink waste and gray water storage is next.

    Why is there so much confusing info regarding covid19?

    I don't want to get it at all.    Perhaps those ignoring the need to slow or stop the spread should think about the rights of fellow citizens to avoid infection.    If you do not catch it, then taking supplements to maybe get minimum symptoms is a moot point.

    Why is there so much confusing info regarding covid19?

    What is not confusing is how to deal with the virus while we wait for a vaccine. Compare the huge spike in infections local to where the "Liberate" protests happened two weeks ago to the basis for reopening where new deaths are zero, new infections are often zero, and the number of active...

    Corona, What’s Next?

    Sweden compared to Norway, is close enough to an experiment using two groups and two different methods.   Sweden (no lockdowns or other spread control methods), 16775 cases, 2021 deaths.    Norway 7041, 194 deaths.    Do the math anyway you want.    Google "comparisons of control spread in...

    Corona, What’s Next?

    Interesting story on human behaviour in that book - On the Beach.    So, a bit more info out of my son currently in Australia.    Partial lockdowns implemented and mandatory 14 day quarantine for those entering the country.    Some restrictions on travel between states.   Lots and lots and lots...

    Corona, What’s Next?

    Yes!!!!!    Australia.   No discussion about a curve anymore, the graph is now a flat line.   The State my children are living in right now, has had no new cases for some days and testing is 10 time the rate being done in the US.   I suspect cultural differences have an effect on whether a...

    Corona, What’s Next?

    Regarding the filing of Law Suits in the USA against China and whether any court has jurisdiction to hear such lawsuits   -"A legal doctrine called sovereign immunity offers foreign governments broad protection from being sued in U.S. courts, said Tom Ginsburg, a professor of international law...

    Corona, What’s Next?

    Is there a court that has the jurisdiction to hear such a case?   I am asking a question of Law.   A suit does not proceed unless a court has standing to access the case and to impose damages.

    covid-19 (new corona virus)

    Social Distancing has been shown to flatten the curve, in so many countries.    The alternative experimental conditions have just been created in a few places across the USA.   One side of the polarised debate regarding Lockdown vs Open Up will win out in a couple of weeks.

    covid information

    How about popping a cloth mask in a Pressure Cooker? Placed on a trivet out of liquid, home pressure cookers can reach Autoclave temperatures above 121 Degrees C.

    covid-19 (new corona virus)

    1047 deaths today and over 216,000 confirmed cases. I guess we should listen to Chicken Little and avoid other people. Very little evidence that infection is spreading through other than close contact with infected people. Slowing the rate of spread is far more important than...

    Potential Treatments for Coronavirus / COVID-19

    There have already been deaths of people trying the quack suggestions. There is no evidence that any of the suggested drugs do anything against Covid-19. Fox is the last place anyone should go for info on Covid-19. Fox news is NOT a valid or reliable source of info on Covid-19. Damm...

    covid-19 (new corona virus)

    @crofter The YouTube video displays the document detailing the protocol.   What a terrible situation for doctors to be in. @RVTravel Nothing political about it.    Factual information about the larger picture might motivate those not taking the situation seriously to start being concerned...

    covid-19 (new corona virus)

    I'll find a link.   I saw the story on MSNBC.   The story included direct quotes from the directive issued to Health Providers.   The MSNBC panel were talking about the similar situation in Italy where a lack of resources resulted in the protocols of giving care and attention to those likely to...

    covid-19 (new corona virus)

    Apparently, in NY, Detroit, and Chicago, Triage in the ED will assign cases to full emergency care or to Comfort Care depending on an assessment of the likelyhood the patient will survive the presenting problem.    That's all presenting cases, not just those with the virus.   The pressure on...
