📵 The internet blackout in #Iran has entered its 76th day after 1800 hours. The measure is built on a class-based tiered system where the select few are granted access while the general public are silenced, the very kind of social structure Iranian authorities claim to oppose.

🌍 #Iran's digital isolation is now entering its 77th day as the internet blackout passes 1824 hours. The measure presents an emerging mental health risk to the public, who are largely cut off from online platforms, communications, and normal interaction with the outside world.

Beautiful images.... looks otherworldly.
My understanding about the leaves being cooler is because they absorb sunlight. Photosynthesis within the leaf converts carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates. Sunlight is converted to chemical energy rather than heat energy.
Without CO2, this would be impossible and plants would die. And the Earth would get hot fast on a sunny day.

Sodium fluoride is good at preventing decay.... of wood. It was used as a wood preservative.
"Sodium fluoride is moderately poisonous and should therefore be handled with care."

Martial Law would likely benefit those in charge of the military. By "benefit", I mean: they would gain worldly power and riches.... material goods, which are transient and fleeting, something not worth fighting with hatred for, which leads to hell. Wrath is one of its attributes.
Yes, many experience hell on Earth before their body even begins to decompose.
The only way to win this battle is with love and truth.

I appreciate that you did not accept the claim without scrutiny. I would not want to believe it, either, because if true, this is a sad condition for humanity. But you did not show how assisted suicide ranks in Canada, so I looked into it.
Do you agree with the following claim?
"Statistics Canada excludes MAID from death totals".
If true, you would not find assisted suicide ranked at all, right?

I did not realize a river goes through downtown Chicago.
Hey, does that building say TRUMP on it? And that was before he was president, if your picture was taken in 2015. He has so much property.
It seems impossible for anyone to become president unless they were already rich.

What does it mean to "feel blue"?
Can people have blue skin?

If you have cock roaches in your mouth, try brushing your teeth with added sodium fluoride.
The old-timers knew stuff that today's people have forgotten.
Sodium fluoride is poison.

Cooking Potatoes Off-the-Grid
A pressure cooker works well on a wood stove burning FREE fuel.
Sticks you can pick up from the ground are a renewable resource. They burn and produce heat, which is perfect for cooking.
No matter how many sticks I gather from the woods around my house, I always find more. The trees continue making sticks! They need CO2, water, and sunlight to generate wood. Trees cannot grow without carbon.

Valley of Elah, Israel
Beautiful scene with blooms, shared on Google Maps ~ April 2019.
Goliath, the giant of the Philistines, challenged the army of Israel, and David, then a young shepherd, defeated him in this valley of #Israel.

The giant Goliath wore a coat of mail that weighed about 125 pounds! (That is an estimate of 5,000 shekels of brass.)
1 Samuel 17:5 KJV
And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
Could you imagine wearing that much weight.... just for the coat?!
Yet, he was defeated. His #coat did not protect him because he was trusting in the wrong gods. He "cursed David by his gods".
Five Stones Vineyard
This image, from Google Maps, is in the general area of #Israel where David defeated Goliath. This vineyard named their business after David's weapon of choice.
"And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine."

A 10-year-old child on Saturn would be about 300 years old on Earth!
(Saturn takes ~ 29.5 Earth years to complete one orbit around the sun. For the Earth, that is 1 year.)
