 after doing some thinking about building a web frontend for an app today i have realised something

there only needs to be one way to do a thing on a given interface

one text interface method: environment variables

one gui method: one uniform formatted thing for that data type

there's a lot of people out there getting paid to give you the same thing in puce

stop with the damn fascination with stupid cosmetic differences

the data i want, or gtfo 
 doing dishes minutes ago saw at tv-news show, yesterday's government's flash-new earthquake wireless alarm went funky all day long with the weirdest of notifications over, randomly like, mobile phones. some had the carrier and wifi turned on and received not a peep; some where without sim nor any type of connection yet it worked magically; others received them all day as if it were spam...

later the dude in charge came out at tweeter telling it wast a beta test and there's lots of "room for grow" 🙏 

roads on the making 
 there's a growing number of unpopular seismologists figuring out that they can measure magnetic fields and watch the sun for the best signals of impending tremors

places where this is a big problem, like there, will adopt this new understanding much sooner than those where they are so invested in Climate Change™️  they can't admit that the sun is so important it even drives earthquakes, and storms are nothing for ol sunny poo 
 Something I heard of that..!!... However this other developer hired by Mexico City govt seems to me like he's making a good time ripping the treasury and not caring too much if the city is teared apart (which is currently doing XD) 
 sunny poo best poo. Like sunning your balls, but more satisfying. Are you building an app for predicting earthquakes based on solar activity? 
 Sonofa biscuit, replyguy infected another relay... 
 haha i don't see it, all my relays are paid... ooh i should add you to my relay.tools one 
 no, just that there is increasing amounts of research correlating seismic events with recordings of various electro/magnetic/solar measurements showing that there is usually quite a lot of warning before something happens

one of the triggers of these events relates to dielectric electrostatic discharge causing piezoelectric effects in quartzite and other dielectric minerals in the soil

literally they sometimes are set off by what amounts to an underground lightning discharge from one part of the ground to another across a weak point that causes a mass of rock to swell up suddenly and then release electricity

the earth is a capacitor, and the sun is constantly streaming electrons and high energy particles at us that interact with our atmosphere and magnetic field and create electric potentials and charge up the earth's dielectrics, and these are a big part of what triggers all this seismic/volcanic stuff

there was some recent video captured of volcano lightning too, and it clearly shows that the electricity comes OUT of the earth and discharges into the sky through the hot smoke of the volcano... meaning the earth itself is full of electricity (this was what Tesla said too, long ago) 
 Interesting. Sounds right. I remember an engineering prof explaining grounding as the earth being basically an infinite capacitor. And on YouTube there's a channel called Electric Universe (I think) that says electricity moves through space, which is exactly the opposite of what's taught, and I don't see how it could be possible, but the effects certainly appear to demonstrate it. Electricity, as we understand it, needs a medium to move across. 

But this is great - if we're seeing causes and effects but can explain the connection, that means we're about to get better at physics, which means I'll soon take possession of my moon, Ganymede. 
 electricity is conducted via magnetic fields and as plasma

you wanna see something cool, search youtube for a video showing that flames are more conductive than air, he rigs a tazer, bends the electrodes wide so they don't arc normally and then shows that you put a flame between them and they arc

plasma carries extra electrons and when this substance hits a positively charged material (like the atmosphere) the electrons cross to balance the potential, and then there is also types of radiation that actually cause electric currents to form in materials, like ultraviolet, which especially adds electrons to oxygen and halides, which then become ionised and that's where we get the ozone layer from

the auroras are caused by electrical excitation of the neon, argon and some other gases in the atmosphere by electricity brought by plasma from coronal mass ejections

and the stuff about magnetic fields, that's essentially induction... 

i don't think any of this stuff is really that far out of what is already understood in physics, it's just that certain people don't want these directions to be explored, so their 'investments` in marxist ideological bullshit result in maximum sales of their companies' products... just like how they pushed everyone onto rapeseed and sunflower oil by demonizing butter and tallow and lard, and we are still to see the reckoning on this, even though in our circles this is starting to become common knowledge (especially the sunburn issue) 
 Didn't find that video, but did find YouTube's infinite plasma rabbit hole. Lots of amazing stuff 
 part of the problem, as i see it, is that the ruling elites right now don't want us to understand the weather because they are using it as a club to beat us into submission

if people start to understand that the quakes come from solar energy and electricity they will probably then find out and be likely to believe that the storms also come from solar energy and electricity, and they will stop believing in a lot of things

it's just a matter of time though, the science supporting the electromagnetic effects being the dominant factor controlling all these things is stacking up faster and faster, and especially chinese and russian scientists are publishing new and important papers every month that are demonstrating correlations in data and weather and seismic events

sooner or later dorothy is going to open the curtain and see the little man operating the machine (wizard of oz reference) 
 Well mleku i think i'd be ripping off your time as well as tranquil dreams if i go now asking about this magnetic axis rotation of the Earth happening this century as i've heard of also on the internet... 🙈 
As humanity i think is normal to take things for granted... never before realized how granted is the Sun rising from "that" side and settling over "that" other. definitely a thing that is better to hope for it to shift gradually than suddenly...   
 well, yeah... there is more evidence appearing all the time that indeed it is possible for the crust to slip, and its magnetic permeability is highly variable, and a major change in ambient flux theoretically could cause a mechanical slip to line up more of the permeable material with the magnetic flux, shall i say

the current working theory is that the new geographical poles could be basically egypt and the pacific just east of japan, based on aggregations of plasma in the atmosphere above these areas
