Monday’s episode reminded me to go back and relisten to one of my favorite CBB eps of all time: Two Thumbs & Not Much Else. I’ve listened to this so many times I can practically recite it from memory, but it still cracks me up like the first time. It’s classic sleepover energy, fast-paced with lots of insane free associating. Scott is so delighted by Ben, Ben is so delighted by Werner, Werner just wants to find a reputable dry cleaner. There are a ton of utterly stupid bits that they call back to throughout. And then ofc the “Where’s where’s the beef?” commercial is one of the funniest bits I’ve ever heard. This episode captures all that I love about this podcast. Two thumbs up.

I don’t know what’s brought me to post this, I am usually a lurker, but if by any chance any newer fan hasn’t heard this one yet, it’s a must!

> Season's greetings! For the holidays, Sprague and.....deranged Scott Aukerman really had no choice but to watch the definitive Tim Allen Christmas joint, 1994's The Santa Clause. What could be more exciting than that? Well how about this for a special guest, SANTA CLAUS HIMSELF. Yes, ol' St Nick (Paul F. Tompkins) joins the crew to react to the film they just saw. Can Scott possibly guess the premise? Is he thrilled he saw it before he dies?? > > Next week: New Year's Eve (2011)

There have been quite a lot of speculation and discussion lately about next semester's COVID related policies. I'd like to provide some local data regarding hospitalization and ICU occupancy as well as some state, national, and international context to hopefully facilitate discussions that are more grounded in data and context.

One key data that people arguing for different propositions tend to cite (with various degrees of accuracy) is hospitalization, since it is a good indicator of the severity of COVID and the burden on the health care system. However, people tend to only look at the number of local COVID hospitalization and attempt to use it to justify their positions. The problem is that the number by itself is hard to make sense of without the broader context. Ten COVID hospitalizations, for example, might seem low to some but high to others.

The main problem is that as our minds are all preoccupied with COVID, we often forget that the pandemic is just one problem sitting on top of many underlying historical and structural problems facing the health care system. Hospitals have to deal with COVID in addition to everything else that already existed before COVID started. Often, COVID doesn't necessarily pose completely new challenges to hospitals, but exposes and aggravates existing ones.

So in this post, I will provide data on hospitalization and ICU occupancy in the context of overall hospital capacity, trends, and geographical comparisons. I will show both the overall and COVID-related occupancy rate of hospital beds and ICUs in Tompkins County, and how they change over time and compare to national average (Figure 1 & 2), the number of available beds and ICUs in Tompkins County (Figure 3), and how the beds/ICUs-to-population ratios in Tompkins compare against NYC, NYS, the U.S., and other countries (Figure 4).

1. Hospital Bed Occupancy

A few things to note:

1. The overall level of hospital occupancy in Tompkins has been quite high: between 50% and 90% throughout 2021, even during periods when COVID hospitalizations were minimal. This means that it likely won't take a significant surge in hospitalization (either due to COVID or other public health incidents) for the local hospital to reach capacity. You may wonder: What about neighboring counties? Can we send patients to them in case there is a big surge? Unli

Okay so hear me out, the ball went backwards so it's not a knock on and therefore the try stand but here's why it was such a bad try.

1. Refs have been particularly strict on deliberate knock ons this year and Beale had already been binned on this game so Tompkins deliberately taking the risk of being binned for the same thing is a pretty stupid play and 95% of the time the ball goes forwards and he's sent off.
2. Playing the whistle. Literally everyone stopped playing, Australia especially which is the real killer but Tompkins is hardly immune, he stopped running looked around had a little convo with the ref and then trotted in. If a single defender played on his hesitation would've cost them the try.

So is there another try at tier 1 level where the actual scoring of the try came from an action that was just generally bad/inherently risky play by the attacker but worked out well for his team?

Please do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s amazing. His headshot is at least 25 years old. His top video is a deleted scene from Anchorman that he is not visible in. His top image is of the back of his head.

I loved every bit of it, and I feel like it was all done intentionally.

Local Ithaca community outbreak? Winter term students outbreak?

Before I hear the usual comment that cases number is not important, please note that hospitalizations also go back up. 26 are hospitalized as of 1/7/22. That is definitely higher than beginning of the fall semester outbreak.

Left unsaid is if we have this level of positive cases and hospitalizations before dorm opens on 1/18 and in person school starts on 2/7, what would happen at the end of the first week of in person instruction? I am NOT rooting for more remote learning but just pondering how Martha's team can deal with double or triple the infection level of the Final Weeks debacle.

Tell me what modules I should run 😃

I've been searching to no avail for the song Paul F. Tompkins mentioned on a recent episode of Threedom that may or may not have been sung by Crystal Gayle? The lyrics were interesting and I wanted to look it up later.

Bill Tompkins Full Interview: Alien Bases In Antarctica, MJ-12, Draco's, Nordics & Admiral Byrd

The late William (Bill) Tompkins (1923-2017) made some amazing claims in his later life, both via his book and in the several interviews that he gave before his death.

He went into detail about the Nazis working alongside aliens during WW2, MJ-12, Admiral Byrd, and the secret Draco alien bases in Antarctica.

He claimed that he worked alongside "Nordic" aliens whilst working for the Douglas Aircraft Company.

The link above has his full two-part interview which I thought some of you might enjoy,

What are people's opinions on Bill Tompkins? Personally, I found both his interview and his book as some of the most fascinating testimony I have heard.

Cheers & Merry Xmas

Robert is joined by Paul F. Tompkins to discuss Nazi Cult Leader, Paul Schäfer.

So I went down a rabbit hole today at work. At first, I was watching a documentary on the Pheonix lights. A craft that hundreds of people saw, including many credible people, and many people were close enough to describe it as a V shaped craft that for the most part was silent, and produced a subtle rushing wind type sound around the craft. The military dismissed it saying it was flares. This craft is rumored to be the TR-6 Telos. Think the TR3b but it's bigger brother.

This is what I found.

"The TR6 “TELOS” is designed for use as a transatmospheric, low observable reconnaissance platform with global reach and a long loiter time over target. Employing active electromagnetic, electronic and visual camouflage it is able to penetrate all currently known defensive systems from transorbital height. The TR6 utilizes five electrogravitic generators for propulsion and is considered a “VTOL” craft not needing a runway. The landing gear is strictly for maneuvering while on the ground. The wings fold for hangar stowage. Currently there are only a handful of hangars in the world that can accept the TR6, with most of them in the US. The entire airframe acts as a multi-band communications relay capable of directly interfacing with all current US military satellite networks. The skin employs active visual camouflage using a ‘starfield’ lighting pattern along with other active stealth techniques. The TELOS platform is also capable of operating in space as well as docking with military space stations via a ventral docking hatch."

Interesting. There are multiple patents all over the place for antigravity craft utlizing magnetic manipulation of vaccum fields.

Here's one from the Navy. https://patents.google.com/patent/US10144532B2/en

Here's another from De Alves Martins Baptista utilizing the antigravity force of the vacuum.

"The present invention relates to a new form of aerial, terrestrial, underwater or space propulsion, achieved through the manipulation (or engineering) of the vacuum with the proper electromagnetic interactions. This vacuum manipulation will allow the use of a new form of propulsion, and has applications in energy production and on the change of the time decay of radioactive elements. Opposing magnetic or electric fields create a mass repelling force, while attracting magnetic or electric fields create a mass attracting force. In particular, this vacuum manipulation process can be used to propel a mass (6) that contains the field sources that pe
