To: interpreter Are you open to the increased SAFE use of nuclear energy to power our electrical grid?

Seems to work for France and others.

Being from Bay City and having worked at the STP nuclear plant at one time, and being a whistle-blower who had a hand in shutting both units down back in Feb of '93, I do know a thing or two about nuclear power.

Don't know about the two in Bay City, but overall, the nuclear plants in general are pretty safe now days.

What the problem was in Bay City (and still is), the Nuclear plants need large amounts of water for cooling the reactors, and they use water pumped from the lower Colorado river. Most years there is plenty of water available but not always. That fall/winter there was a drought, and because the intake pumps are only a few miles from the Gulf and the Bay, and because there are 15 dams upriver, there was almost a meltdown.

That's because the intake pipes were putting salt water through the reactors' delicate cooling coils. The plant was closed for a year while the rusty pumps, pipes and coils were replaced. These days, it's even worse (potentially) with San Antonio also taking water out of the Colorado river.

But last winter there was a different problem. The cooling water froze, again shutting down the nuclear plants. A lot of people in the Houston area froze to death because they had no electricity for heat for four to five days.

So you see, while nuclear power as a whole is relatively safe, the weakest link is the large amount of cooling water required, which is especially true in Bay City. I am one of the few people in Bay City who were happy that the permitting of two additional reactors fell through. If they were to build them upriver or better yet, on another river without all the dams (maybe the Brazos) I would be OK with it.

Another problem is the cost. Nuclear plants cost billions and only major cities (like Houston) can afford them.

PS, I'm pretty sure France doesn't try to cool their nuclear reactors with salt water. The French have some common sense and that's why their stuff works.

To: interpreter Thank you for the link and the explanation, Barry...the clarification of the contribution of the poor soils makes more sense than the thought of sea levels rising 12 or 18 inches, because that 12-18 inch rise has to be planet- wide, and that simply has not been the reality.

I own some rental property on the Outer Banks in North Carolina, and that series of barrier islands is constantly changing, as bad storms claim oceanside properties in one area, while further down the beach sand will pile up and increase the beach width. I think Galveston might be undergoing a similar process.

Regards...MUD

I think that article must have been talking about the part of the county where I live -- the Kemah area. Everyone around here is talking about the sea-level rising 18 inches since mid-century. But (according to the article), 8 inches of that is subsidence. (Not worried though cause my boat floats).

While it varies place to place, Worldwide the sea level has rinen a little over 8 inches (according to NOAH). But it is not uniform largely due to changing ocean currents (also related to global warming).

There's a lot of that going on around here also -- overall its mostly beach erosion, and especially Sargent Beach where today there's only 100 yards remaining between the gulf and the intracoastal canal (when there used to be a couple miles). Galveston is not as bad, and when sand is lost during a hurricane, they simply pump in some some more, usually when also the ship channel needs to be dredged (of excess sand). (Gotta keep the tourist industry and the shipping industry going). But if the present trends continue unchecked, Galveston will need a bigger seawall. A multi-billion-dollar "Ike Dike" has been proposed.

PS, I've got a lot of relatives living on the Outer Banks. I hung out there for a couple weeks one summer tracing the family tree and meeting some distant cousins. Great place.

To: interpreter Babble on weirdo.

Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

I don't recall that verse. I think you changed a few words. The Bible agrees perfectly with science.

How bout this verse:

Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.

Have any of Hal Lindsay's predictions come true? What about Van Impe's? Or maybe you prefer David Koresh?

I think the reason for God sending COVID is to kill off all the science deniers because that's who is dying mostly, those who are refusing the vaccine.

I don't recall that verse. I think you changed a few words.

That is because you are a phoney who wants to pimp some books to the people. You couldn't be bothered to look it up.

You're right science doesn't contradict the Bible. But global warming bullshit isn't science. You're "predictions" contradict what a prophet is. You're always wrong. Never right. You're full of yourself.

No run along and look up oppositions of science falsely so called. Then you won't "think" I changed a few words. You will know that I speak the truth.

I know the Bible backwards and forwards. That's how I know you changed the words around.

Anyhow, my commentaries and predictions are based on the words of Jesus, not Paul. He changed the true Gospel into Paul's version, which led to the twisting of the teachings of Jesus. You need to read what St. Peter said about Paul and his hard-to-understand babblings. (See 2 Peter 3:15-16).

To: interpreter Regarding Prediction #6...is there a history of especially virulent hailstorms occurring in Afghanistan and Iran? Or is this a full-blown God-strike that has no precedent?

Sincere regards...MUD

Jesus is signifying the extremely great hail dropped from F-15's and F-18s etc. on Iraq and Afghanistan, Syria, et al after Hussein dried up the Euphrates at the beginning of this millennium in order to prepare the way for Ar Mageddon -- which the Koran says the Muslims will win, but the Bible says otherwise.

It's the final battle between good and evil, and concludes the seven last plagues. When all the bad guys are dead, a thousand years of heaven on Earth commences.

To: interpreter If you get the chance, ask your "OBX Locals" relatives what they think of my favorite two watering holes, "Tortuga's Lie" and "Goombays"...and while you are at it, see if they have any suggestions for cool Locals hangouts to check out when I am there in mid- March.

Well, when I was there, I had a wife and baby with me, and did't get to check out the bars much. Now that my girl is grown and is wanting to know more about the family tree, we will probably revisit Nags Head at some point (when she has some time off).

On Galveston beach, on Sunday mornings, I hang out at the Tipsy Turtle (and Baptize converts in the Gulf). Afterwards, we (who are old enough) commune over a beer, and not wine, which they don't serve. I generally use red beer though (made with grapes). (But not so much in the winter if the water is too cold).

o: interpreter Might want to check that info, I am reading that MANY folks who are getting hurt most by Covid are fully- vaxxed. The DeeCee RATZ and their Leftist Lapdogs in the RAT-media have long Suppressed the Truth as they do BigPharmaz bidding in exchange for a slice of the monetary windfall these companies are enjoying. Do not believe the RAT propoganda, my friend...MUD

Btw...I am double-vaxxed, but am seriously considering saying "NO!!" to any and ALL mandates to take further booster shots.

Well, COVID-19 is the latest one of a whole bunch of new diseases, beginning with AIDS, the first one. And I'm pretty sure that most of the guys who died from AIDS were NOT following God's wiil -- they were homosexuals which is an abomination to God.

That's just one example. The scary new diseases are designed to punish us (and especially those sitting in darkness), and cause us to examine our lives and repent.

To: interpreter Very interesting, Barry...thank you for your insight. Regarding the need for large amounts of water required...how far away are you folks on the Left Coast from realizing the very real dream of building the facilities required to make seawater into potable water for use agriculturally AND to serve your citizens?

Regards...MUD

I forgot to mention that In the case of STP in Bay City, they were originally planning on using the Toshiba-built nuclear reactor, which has experienced some problems in Japan -- another reason the permit was not granted. But the main concern is an ample supply of water.

As for desalination of salt water, I don't think that's been tried in my neck of the woods. It has however been successfully put to use in Israel where fresh water is in short supply. It's expensive though.

And thank you Mudboy for engaging in an inteligent conversation and not slinging "mud" (Cant resist a good pun)

Barry M

Regards...MUD

I know the Bible backwards and forwards.

So does Lucifer.

You seem to have a lot in common with him...especially lying.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

I am double-vaxxed

You stated that you had only one vax.

To: interpreter Red beer made from grapes? Interesting...is that a Texas thing? I am past the age for becoming an expert on all the microbreweries that have popped up around central Virginny, but I have yet to see a local beer made from grapes...does it taste good? And what is the alcohol content?

It's an Adam and Eve thing. The earliest writing, discovered in the Garden of Eden (now Iraq) and dating to around 5000 BC (around the time of Eve), says "fermented grapes + barley + hops." That's how beer used to be made (by the women in Mesopotamia, who just loved the forbidden fruit covering the tree of knowledge.

It was the tree of knowledge because, from then on we were no longer dumb monkeys cause we pass down knowledge from generation to generation through the written word. It was not long before the first cities sprang up. One of them was Ur, where Abraham was born.

But yes, I guess you could also say its a Texas thing. There's a brewery in Austin that makes 10 different kinds of red beer -- brewed from ten varieties of grapes. But they are not marketed outside of Austin.

The best one that's available nationwide (in my humble opinion) is George Killian's Irish Red. (Originally brewed only in Ireland but now marketed by Coors).

But like God warns us, consuming too many fermented grapes can indeed kill you, so please drink responsibly.

Cheers,

Barry

o: interpreter Re: prediction #3, does the "fouling of our springs" mean you are anti-fracking or do you believe we can do responsible fracking that will NOT befoul our underground aquifers?

Wel, I wasn't thinking about fracking per se, and being in Texas and having some friends and relatives in the oil business, I dont want to single out that one aspect. But oil companies do need to be responsible stewards of the environment including the underground water supply.

Some of the towns who get their drinking water from underground aquafiers are now testing for various carcinogens in their water and its scary what they are finding. A little town not far from here, Aleif, is reporting a lot of Chromium 6 in their water, evidently seeping in from nearby Refineries and chemical plants. The residents there have a very high incidence of once-rare cancers appearing.

Barry

PS, a lot of the cancers we are seeing these days used to be rare. So yes, like the Bible says, I do think there are some deadly things present in our water. (And the only safe water is distilled water).

You sound lost.

To: interpreter were no longer dumb monkeys

We never were "dumb monkeys"

You sound lost.

You sound like the one who is lost, without a clue as to how we got here. Have you ever opened a science book?

Like the Bible, scientists divide the creation of the Earth into six time periods (or "yoms" in Hebrew). In the sixth time period, the Cenozoic period, God created all of the land animals we see today, including monkeys. In the last part of the sixth yom (or time period) God created modern man in the Garden of Eden (called Mesopotamia by archeologists). He did it by providing fermented grapes and then telling a semi-intelligent monkey (or hominoid) named Eve not to eat them because they can kill you. But He also told her and Adam the forbidden fruit would give them knowledge and long life. God knew that Eve would not be able to resist such a temptation, and the rest is history.

So you see, science and the Bible agree 100% -- with the exception of Paul's hard-to-understand epistles, which, like Peter said, people twist to their own destruction.

o: interpreter I Googled microbreweries in Virginia and a few do offer Irish Red, but do not say it is made from grapes. Are all Irish Reds "red beer"? If so, I reckon I will have to give one a taste test.

Regards...MUD

Well, Coors is not exactly a microbrewery. George Killian's is available in some grocery stores, and in the bigger liquor stores. A couple other red beers (made with red grapes) are brewed by the Dogfish Head brewery and available in some liquor stores and bars that specialize in "craft beers."

But as for my taste buds, the red beers brewed by Jester King (in Austin) and DogFishhead (in Delaware) are a little too strong. But they also have more alcohol (similar to wine), somewhere around 8 percent I think. George Killians is around 5.7 % and goes down easy (like a beer, but with a fruity taste.

Red beers (and red wines) also give you long life because of the good- for-you oxidants found in the skin and seeds of of red (or purple) grapes. People who drink red beer or red wine with every meal live, on average 5-years longer than the average person. For more on this, see Pterostilbene.com

cheers, Barry

To: interpreter The time periods were days you dumb piece of shit.

You're not my brother. You're a piece of shit deceiver who loves to boast about imaginary prophet status.

You must like fucking monkeys loser.

The word translated as "day" in most English Bibles is actually "yom" in the original Hebrew which means "time period." Even if it literally means a "day", a day with God is not one of our 24-hour days as on Earth.

97 % of our genes are identical to a Chimpanzee's but some of us are smarter than the average monkey

the original Hebrew

Do you speak Hebrew? I didn't think so.

If we came from monkeys (we didn't) that means people can fuck monkeys right dumb ass. You are a deceiver and a dumb person.

forbidden fruit would give them knowledge and long life.

You're confused. It gave them the knowledge of good and evil. Nothing to do with a long life. In fact I believe God said you would surely die.

You don't know a whole lot.

Paul's hard-to-understand epistles

That's because you don't have ears to listen.

To: interpreter the original Hebrew Do you speak Hebrew? I didn't think so.

If we came from monkeys (we didn't) that means people can fuck monkeys right dumb ass. You are a deceiver and a dumb person.

Yes I do speak Hebrew, and I know these things because I am a Jew. Actually I am half Jew, half German and theoretically I should not be here, but I thank God every day that my parents met in the US melting pot and not in Germany. My grandfather worshipped in the synagogue on Saturday and in Church on Sunday -- until he married Grandma and she nixed that 200-year old family tradition.

In Africa people do fuck monkeys. That's how AIDS got transferred to humans dumb-ass. It used to be only a monkey diesese.

To: interpreter forbidden fruit would give them knowledge and long life. You're confused. It gave them the knowledge of good and evil. Nothing to do with a long life. In fact I believe God said you would surely die.

You don't know a whole lot.

Have you ever read Genesis? It says the forbidden fruit was growing on the tree of knowledge (of good and eveil). After Adam and Eve consumed the forbidden fruit they knew for example that they were naked. And then Eve learned how to sew them some loincloths.

Genesis also calls it the tree of life. And when the early humans began drinking the red beer they started living about 5 years longer than the average monkey. Virtually all scientists (archeologists and anthropologists) agree 100 percent with what Genesis says, dumb-ass.

Sorry, but when someone slings mud at me, I sling it right back. (Please forgive me Lord).

Brother Barry

To: interpreter Paul's hard-to-understand epistles That's because you don't have ears to listen.

You're the one who doesn't have ears to listen. You should listen to Peter. He is the ome who Jesus founded the (legiitmate) Church upon, not Paul, dumb-ass. (Forgive me ne Lord).

Brother Barry

You're confused. It gave them the knowledge of good and evil. Nothing to do with a long life. In fact I believe God said you would surely die.

You don't know a whole lot.

I know a lot more than you think. I know for a fact that you will surely die if you consume too much of the forbidden fruit. My ex-wife, who consumed too much of it, died from Cirrhosis of the liver and at an early age. And its a miracle she didn't kill a bunch more people because she had six DWI's. (That's why she was my EX-wife).

The tree of knowledg of good and evil had nothing to do with a long life.

So again you are wrong. Just like all your bullshit predictions you get wrong every year. Loser.

You should listen to Peter. He is the ome who Jesus founded the (legiitmate) Church upon, not Paul, dumb-ass.

You are a dumb person. That is not what the Bible teaches. Liars like you don't have ears to hear. You lie to much and boast much.

They call the Pope you worship holy fahter. IF you read the Bible you would know that you only call God the father. Not some fucked in the head poop Pope like Francis and all the other Popes.

Pope isn't in the Bible loser.

My ex-wife, who consumed too much of it, died from Cirrhosis of the liver and at an early age. And its a miracle she didn't kill a bunch more people because she had six DWI's. (That's why she was my EX-wife).

Loser Jesus taught that there is no divorce. That when you "divorce" you are actually still married. So if you have sex with another woman you are an adulterer. You surely don't have ears.

And when the early humans began drinking the red beer they started living about 5 years longer than the average monkey.

You are a dumb person. No I take that back you're STUPID!
