April 30

1:25 They say Sahara was green when they introduced cows in Egypt, about 8000 years before Christ. Looking at the temperature chart predicted by Milankovitch cycles, temperatures measured at 66 N show a peak at about -13000 and another one at about -7000. Other authors say Sahara was green until about -5000 or  3000 BC which corresponds roughly with the time of building of Great Pyramid and the War of Kurukshetra (by some authors).

By the language spoken, traits on numerous statues in Rome, not only on the column, tall stature and rich beards, and their name which means dextrous in Sanskrit (language closest to hypothetical PIE, Proto Indo European), Dacians didn't have anything to do with Ancient Egyptians. Dacians are not only those from today's Romania but they may be related to Germans (Deutsch) and Dutch and most likely early descendants of the original Indo-European people.

2:56 DEX o făcu iar de oaie cu această definiție. Sensul 2 arată un tip de căciulă, etimologia e de la comații daci (commoners). Cel mai probabil comații au preluat pileusul în timpul ocupației romane, când ordinea socială a fost bulversată. Mărturie personală. În Suceava le spuneam comănac numai celor cu moț... Și căciulile de miel depliate mai arată ca un pileus...

Mai este posibil că în Dacia ca și în India, clasa conducătoare (elitele) să fi fost de altă origine etnică și altă culoare a pielii, posibil celtică. Eu rămân la vechea idee că tot ce a fost arhivă despre Dacia, limba dacă în Roma a fost distrus de dominicani. Însă columna, statuile nu le-au putut distruge.

Columna, unul din cele mai importante monumente din Roma și din antichitate, a fost ridicată de Traian pentru a glorifica războaiele cu dacii, al căror aur a adus prosperitate imperiului pentru următoarele două sute de ani dar și decăderea, prin atragerea "barbarilor" (asiaticilor) de la care cumpăraru bunuri de lux, în special mătase, cheltuind astfel tot acel aur, care a fost după calculele mele în jur de 224 de tone pe an, timp de 170 de ani, un echivalent de aproximativ 14 miliarde de euro pe an în banii de azi.

Un aureus de 8 grame era echivalent cu 25 de dinari.

Pentru comparație, rezerva de aur a României în acest moment este puțin peste 100 de tone sau aproximativ 6 miliarde euro.

În România se află unele din cele mai mari rezerve de aur din lume, probabil munții Apuseni și Carpații în general au fost formați în urma căderii unui asteroid din metale, acum aproximativ 70 de milioane de ani care a intrat mai adânc în pământ, munții rezultați sunt formați în principal din materialele existente.

Nu m-aș mira dacă în acest moment aurul ar fi exploatat în secret cu mașini autonome (cârtițe) care sapă pe sub munți.

1:20 I'm doing laundry. He/she/it is doing laundry. Last night i heard again the exhaust leak at the car, especially during the acceleration.

1:47 Found loose and torqued the only accessible (with the right tool) exhaust nut under the heat shield of the manifold (i had to take the shield off, did not have such a tool). Right when i was done, anticipating i had to leave, a small plane making a big noise flew by (to pretend i'm leaving because of them alerting the people). BTW no people were present during the 20 minutes operation except for a big delivery guy next door.

1:52 Asta intră în contradicție cu ce spunea Gerhard Gerhard Karner la București. Dacă ungurii nu permit imigranți, de unde ajung ei în Austria? A, din Croația.

Apropo Austria cere ajutorul Comisiei Europene pentru a-și proteja frontierele. De ce nu o fac singuri ca nemții? Pot face asta în România dar nu la ei acasă?

7:35 I read the news, oh boy! Is getting more and more complicated or Shogun (book) like.

Following my post, Moldova (Maia Sandu, Recean, whatever) created a semantic diversion, by banning Putin in Moldova.

Moldova is a small country east of Romania that have been at times part of Romania and at times part of Russian empire and Soviet Union. Official language is Romanian but there is a strong Russian minority, of which many of them came during Soviet Union. But there's more, like inside Matryoshka dolls. There's a country smaller than Moldova (unrecognized internationally except by Russia) east of Moldova where there are stationed Russian troops and a huge Soviet era decaying ammo depot.

Putin through Medvedev is now threatening (again) Moldova as response to Maia's unnecessary provocation. Medvedev doesn't have right now any official position within Russian Government or whatever that is.

I really hope the Russian people are going to get tired of the madmen real soon. But i doubt they really got any word to say in governing of their country.

9:38 Unannounced work at the building. Pressure washing with big noise. Retaliation for yesterday? That vacuum pump barely makes any noise.

10:55 Went to Walmart to buy pads and vaseline for my wounds. I did not realize how nauseated i was until i got in the car. While i was trying to park, a car with WA LPN came from behind and cut in front of me and parked in the spot in front of where i was aiming. The driver looked Asian, the passenger white, curly and muscular. I didn't say nothing.

Inside the store. An 80 years old woman was arranging stuff on the shelves. I could not find the Vaseline and she was kinda blocking my way and i asked. Though dressed in Walmart uniform, she said she's not working for Walmart however she pulled the phone and asked the pharmacist who was within reach at the counter. Found it about in the same time she showed me.

But at the exit. A 90 years old man was extending his hand like asking for my receipt, but when i tried to hand it he said you're ok you're ok while the hand was forgotten extended...

Here. Though it says on the noisy van, i don't think he's washing the buildings. All i could see so far is he's moving from one building to another with a long red hose and a tall ladder.

Because of all the distractions in the store i didn't get the right pads... The absorbent ones jus... absorbs the ointments i put on... Ordered some on Amazon, delivery today.

11:17 After absorbing, now reverse psychology (anybody knows since?, maybe after i started with my matches, in 2014 and the blog in 2018)... Hungary controls the EU and together with Japan the whole world...

11:54 I actually went and looked what he was doing... He used a power tool  to clean the dryer's vents. Numerous semantic coincidences with what i just wrote yesterday. Compressor, vent.

Then i went in the park by the time he left. On my way there i figured. My end of the drying vent is plugged inside so cold air won't get in in the winter, because i dry on closed circuit, as i wrote in numerous occasions, probably starting with this... It's got several advantages, one of them is it uses recirculated dried very clean air. The dog or cat smell from the previous owner that used the water heater pan as litter box at least doesn't get as much in the laundry... Less energy.

In fact they do sell now closed circuit ventless heat pump dryers. But they are very expensive. Mine cost 100 dollars the window AC at the core of it and 25 dollars pipes and plastic boxes i used for adapters.

No. First version was this.

12:17 Some of the pipes are leaking in the basement and i really hope he did not create more leaks. Vapors from the unusual design are wetting the floor under and the upper fiberboard part of the floor is always bulged in places, especially under the couch. But i remember last time they did it themselves, the team at the apartment, using power drills and rotating brushes. Two weeks after i fixed the pipes myself.

1:53 I composed this during my walk. As a conclusion to all i wrote before and a point of start for a new point of view.

I know what happened. God got angry with them. The place was heating up. The monkeys were trying to move North but they could not cross the Mediterranean.

So they gathered an army and went up North to conquer some vital space. There they opposed massive resistance from the part of locals. Kurukshetra war. They were defeated and moved to uninhabited places or with less resistance like Nepal and Nippon.

Some remained and were fascinated with another idea. God gave them a sign, a white blond blue eyed person was born. So they remained, trying to better high bread themselves into a better race. More honest, hard working, athletic, white blue eyed blond people thinking they will please god.

But we all know what the problems of inbreeding are. So god did not get pleased and they had to move together with their myths and lesser gods way up North, in Scandinavia (Svarga loca). They miscalculated though and moved too far north anticipating more heating up but the Milankovitch cycle peaked up.

One late branch arrived from Australia, were the Egyptians were originally from. After generations of roaming in Asia the descendants of Attila and his horde established in Panonia which name somehow bears resemblance to their language, Pama Nyungan and the word for Penguin. The penguin on Attila's shield. After that, Buddha's bettered people came from Nepal and together they gave birth to the Hungarian people as we know it. Maybe not so well cause the list of Hungarian actors include lots of genetic material from Europe, stolen or invited in Hungary.

All the three branches somehow sniffed each other and realized they are the same. Rest is recent history. America was still unoccupied. Back to their own style, slavery to create huge fortunes to beat Europe. WWI, II, Asian wars and now Ukrainian war to bring the inferior race to obedience.

5:12 Method for checking AC system valves for leaks, other tips.

It's about that time of the year. I remember the trouble i've been through last year when i decided to do it myself, because of not having much experience with ACs. Here is all i know now about it.

Buy new caps (from Amazon) that have rubber o-rings inside. Those hold a bit of pressure as well. Run the AC for about 5 minutes. Slowly untighten the caps and listen. If you hear a tiny hiss at one of them voila. You found your leak.

But wait there's more. You can replace a valve while keeping the freon inside the system. In fact, it's best to do it like that. You can check the new valve right away. There is a tool for that. Just make sure you have to right tip for the valves you're using.

When you add freon R134a you have to add PAG46 oil. There are various methods but some brands come in pressurized cans and you do it as you would with freon, no extra tools needed. Question is how much.

There are rudimentary tools to check for oil presence in the system but you can only check if you have and not how much you have (test results depends on how long you press the plastic tube against the valve and experience of the DIY-er). In the video above the color of the oil is abnormal or maybe there is a UV die in the system and it fluoresces a bit in normal light. Oil should be clear.

BTW you should not use refrigerant (freon) that is advertised as sealing leaks. Those are additives that swell your rubber parts. Trouble is the small cans like in the video above with "straight" freon come in 320 ml cans and most cars use 500 ml (check the manual or label under hood). But you can go by pressure. Charge a little, stop the engine and look at the gauge for the combined pressure (average between low and high). Should be in the yellow area of the gauge or around 70. Ten degrees more temperature outside mean almost 20 psi more. Or weigh the second can on a digital scale like i did.

The system has a pressure switch and the compressor would not start under a certain pressure, for protection of the compressor. But if the pressure was zero for some time and one of the valve was loose, moisture gets in it and saturates the silica beads that are hold in a sac and in a tube on the circuit. Mold would start growing inside that would survive the hell of freon under pressure and at high and low temperatures and then with tiny leaks contaminate all car. At this point you have to use a vacuum pump to boil and remove the moisture and make sure you do not add freon with air in the  system which will lower efficiency.

10:40 Au fost generații crescuți cu cheia la gât. Acum sunt generații crescuți cu telefonul.

10:42 Pentru ciorbă dar și mâncare de fasole, varză, etc.., trebuie să ai un termometru în frigider, care costă aici 2 dolari (a, costa) pe care să-l lipești de recipient (oală). Bacteriile nu funcționează sub 4 grade iar sub 2 grade există riscul de a îngheța anumite zone și e destul de greu imposibil de menținut acest interval temperatură din cauza discontinuității funcționării sistemului. Dacă s-ar putea menține, alimentele s-ar păstra pe un timp nedefinit din punct de vedere bacterial, dar mai sunt și funguși (mucegai) bla bla.

Adică. Temperatura nu e constantă ci ori scade când merge compresorul ori crește când nu merge compresorul sau se deschide ușa iar termostatul are o anumită inerție și întârziere la anclanșare declanșare (histerezis). De asemenea temperatura nu e aceeași în tot frigiderul, ci e mai scăzută sus în zona în care vine aerul rece din congelator, iar cea mai ridicată este jos în tăvile pentru legume. Normal, contează foarte mult cât timp aveți ușa deschisă (după ce căutați ceva mai mult timp veți vedea cum compresorul pornește și merge mult timp).

Să nu uităm nici de acea jumătate de oră din 8 ore sau cât când frigiderul se oprește și o rezistență încălzește radiatorul rece din congelator pentru a dezgheța acea brumă iar temperatura crește mai ales dacă deschideți ușa. Cred că ar trebui să aibă o lampă ceva pentru a ști și a nu deschide ușa în timpul respectiv.

Orice recipient ar fi, de sticlă sau metal trebuie să fie acoperit bine cel puțin cu un capac potrivit sau chiar folie de plastic sub capac fiindcă în frigider bate vântul de la ventilatorul montat în congelator și care împinge aerul rece într-o anumită proporție în cutia de jos (frigiderul propriu zis) și se amestecă nu numai gusturile și mirosurile dar și bacteriile.

Și apropo de frigiderul propriu zis. Acum m-am mai obișnuit însă îmi venea să râd de câte ori vedeam cuvântul, după o lungă pauză de limba română și după ce am aflat de unde vine numele. Frigid Air. Un exemplu de substantiv comun derivat dintr-un nume de marcă (ca atâtea altele) ce nu ar fi trebuit să se întâmple. Altul e vaselină. Freon.

Apropo iar. Mi-am amintit o chestie. Pentru sănătatea și factura de electricitate a dvs.. este bine să înclinați frigiderul, măcar o dată pe an și să curățați praful de pe radiatorul cald de dedesubt, compresor, cuvă de evaporare. Dacă nu ați făcut-o niciodată, garantez o surpriză. Atenție, nu e ușor și e destul de periculos, puteți chiar să-l răsturnați. Dacă vă e greu, apelați la o altă persoană, doar să vă uitați și să programați o curățare profesională. Roțile de plastic sunt expuse la ultrasunete și în timp devin fragile și se pot sparge dacă îl înclinați pe două roți.

2:00 Haven't been for a walk this week. I used a hoodie (with broken zipper) just for sleeves to cover the bandages on my arms. It looks like i'm getting better though slowly. First hot day of this spring (up to 80 in the forecast). Here someone cut a corner (literally). I usually do it on foot because at this corner there is always a car with a woman at the stop sign, rain, sun, cold, hot, winter spring no matter what, like at every corner of my walks.

Today it was a face i thought i once knew, with a LPN KVJ which i consider derived from KGB.
Camas, the first and only flower in the big grass area. Native to North America.

7:26 Today it was the first day above 70 (actually 81 right now) and i could finally deal with the AC (not recommended charging under 70). I took the decision to just add some until i get the 40 degrees temperature at the vent, but there was no pressure whatsoever in it. The low pressure valve was one turn loose. There was obviously some intervention to it. I vacuumed the system long, half hour, for boiling moisture, then the Walmart can with freon wouldn't work, i went to O'Reilly's, when i came back the low pressure valve again was loose, no more vacuum so i replaced it and did it again but only 15 minutes this time.

I added about 480 ml, have to add some more to 500. I checked for the presence of oil in it and it was like last time. So i finally answered one question, the oil doesn't leave the system when all freon leaks. (But why there wasn't any last year when i first got the car?). Oil sample that came out was clear, no yellowing no nothing.

Tried to replace the valves, i did for the low pressure, the high pressure i ordered again was slightly different. Worried about high pressure valve "bumped" that is, unlike the low pressure one, there was no gradual tightening. Went easy all the way in the tread and then... bump. Sudden stop. Filled the valve holes with water, could see no immediate leaks.

Final pressure at low side was 35 with engine and compressor on and a little under 60 with the engine off. Temperature at the vent was exactly 40 degrees but a hair lower than last fall. But that changes a bit with outside temperature.

Out of pocket today... 12 bucks (if i return the oil i din't use to O'Reillys. Now i got to change oil. I found some at Walmart guaranteed... 20000 miles, for 27 bucks. But i think i will have to change the filter at 7500 as the manual says...

April 26

12:25 Last day of Iohannis visit to South America. I think he's in Argentina now (Silver country). Weird things are still happening. Today it was the big day. After one month i finally went to dermatology, they said my wound was infected, put an ointment on my infection, taught me how to do it by myself and gave me a prescription for that and a different oral antibiotic. I think it works very well, but i was supposed to renew it tonight. All afternoon i kept calling Walgreens and the automated system could not find my prescription.

Then we went to Lincoln City and i went to Walgreens there. However "the pharmacist" did not realize that Lower Boones Ferry in Lake Oswego is an address of another Walgreens pharmacy, he should have had the prescription ready in the computer, thinking that was the name of another pharmacy, in the end he told me he is knew to the area, i bet he is, he looked like some short muscular Asian actor, though wearing a mask, and asked me to fill out a form.

I started to fill the form and two people came and they didn't stop talking  with him until it was near 6 PM (In Lake Oswego they close at 7). Then he finally realized it was a Walgreens, kept apologizing but it was too late. "I can do it for tomorrow morning" he said, using a number of bureaucratic expressions. I looked on the door outside and there was a printed old yellowing paper with closing time at 6.

I went across the street at Rite Aid and something similar happened. They said at 6:45 that Walgreens said it was too close to closing time (7:00) to send the fax.

Now i'm thinking i could develop resistance to the antibiotic in ointment by not changing it in time. BTW it works better than expected, the wound is almost closed after applying it once. Already started getting the chills.

I looked in a list with pictures with Asian American actors and i think i found him (again in the store he was wearing a mask, dark clothes). Chinese name, but he has that Japanese mischievous look on his face. How many crimes this guy, the women at Rite Aid did commit tonight?

10:05 Terapie cognitivă prin știrile google de azi.

1:08 România se transformă într-o foarte puternică armată.

7:00 Vai vai vai (apocalipsa wi-fi). Conveniența folosirii telefonului mobil și wi-fi-ului față de cablu este evidentă. În acest moment practic toată lumea este dependentă și practic nu mai există cale de întoarcere.

Transmisia datelor și vocii însă nu se face magic ci prin aceste unde radio de frecvență foarte înaltă numite microunde. Frecvențele folosite pentru comunicare de către aceste device-uri sunt aceleași însă ca și în cuptoarele cu microunde (2.4 GHz sau dublu, unde nu e nevoie de licență) și sunt și cele mai periculoase pentru că pătrund adânc în materia organică sau bio. 

Puterea de emisie microunde la wi-fi este de până la un watt, la telefoane (care iar folosesc aceeași gamă de frecvențe, 2,4 la 2,41 GHz) poate merge până la 3 wați (din cauza distanțelor mai mari până la turnuri) în timp ce un cuptor cu microunde are înăuntru în jur de 1000 wați și scurgeri de ordinul waților.

Apropo, nu stați pe aproape de cuptor (sub 3-5 metri) când funcționează. Cumpărați-vă un aparat de măsurat microunde pentru cuptor care merge pentru wi-fi și telefon (aceleași frecvențe).

Pentru siguranța și sănătatea dvs., trebuie să eliminați orice emițător wi-fi din locuință. Vedeți cele 4 mufe nefolosite din spatele router-ului? Cuplați ce folosiți mai mult, prin cablu, la aceste mufe. Sunt și routere cu mai multe mufe fără wi-fi, dacă aveți nevoie de mai multe.

Televizorul, laptopul dar mai ales tabletele pentru copii. În același timp scoateți antenele din router și blocați wi-fi-ul din setări, ca și la orice alt dispozitiv pe care îl folosiți. Nu atât de mult pentru siguranța IT care nu vă afectează direct dar pentru sănătate.

Nu în ultimul rând, puneți-vă înapoi telefonul fix, dar fără handset wireless. Puteți folosi și un cont gratuit de google voice care vă dă un număr de telefon obișnuit și are intrare pe toate rețelele fixe și mobile și un telefon IP legat la router prin cablu cu handset cu cablu. Eu vorbesc la telefon prin laptopul legat la router prin cablu cu wi-fi-ul blocat. Renunțați la mobil, cel puțin acasă. Nu puneți mobilul pornit în buzunar.

Acasă mai puteți folosi mobilul (știu, e imposibil să renunți la el, cel puțin imediat) cu cablu și un adaptor ethernet USBC, cu mobile data și wi-fi off dar nu știu dacă se poate bloca complet emițătorul telefonului din setări.

Am scris toate acestea fiindcă sunt avansat în această problemă. După aproximativ 15 ani de folosit intensiv telefonul mobil (uneori ore pe zi) și 6 luni de ținut laptopul în brațe 10 ore pe zi după ce mi s-a stricat PC-ul am pățit-o. Probleme cu auzul în urechea dreaptă, amețeli și senzații de vertij, umflături în zona maxilarelor mai ales drept unde țineam telefonul, pierderea părului în zona favoriților (sub urechi), dureri șolduri (până la  nu mai putea pune piciorul în pământ), mai ales drept, unde țineam mai mult telefonul în buzunar, genunchi, picioare (unde aveam wi-fi-ul de la PC), burtă (laptop ținut în brațe) și alte zone apropiate, degetele de la mâini.

Cândva la începutul anului mi-am cumpărat un aparat de măsurat microunde, am eliminat telefonul mobil și orice sursă wi-fi din apartament, aveam vreo 10. Unele din dureri au dispărut (șolduri, genunchi) aproape complet, umflăturile din dreptul maxilarului nu, favoriții nu mi-au mai crescut etc, ceva mai bine cu echilibrul și senzația permanentă de vertij. Orice expunere cât de mică de exemplu dacă trec din greșeală lângă microwave-ul care merge atrage re-pornirea durerilor din șoldul drept, care probabil a fost cel mai expus.


11:37 One has to imagine the surprise of Sun worshipers when the first blond hair blue eyed white mutant was born amongst them. But the Sun himself chased them away from heaven and they had to move way up North.

6:55 I've been doing some searches in the last couple of hours. You cannot imagine how disruptive and how loud they are yelling outside. For the last couple of hours those kids have been using the yard as a playground and now they came and hit the rails of the stairs.

7:04 As usually there are rarely two AI coordinated annoyances in the same time. The kids have stopped, the person upstairs came and started his/her routine.

7:20 Don't know how they have so much energy, to yell and run around for hours but i might have an idea.

7:40 I was just thinking to go outside and see where now smoke it's coming from (presence of their children guaranteed there was no smoke) and AI running the whole show started a siren, "just to alert everybody that might be in my way".

It looks like the infection is going away and the underlying cause is obvious. An allergy that started after i bought the new jacket at JC Penney cylin with narrow synthetic sleeves. Only on the side of both hands  that are tanned (have been exposed to Sun) during my walks in the past. On the right hand in the area where my hand was close to the cell phone in my pocket. Scratching broke the epidermis and started the infection.

8:05 Karma. I played the video above by chance and remembered. After 3 hours of sleep, dead worried for my infection, i went to Walmart, then to Walgreens and back to Walmart. The woman at Walgreens told me the prescription is now moved in Lincoln City and they don't open till ten. The pharmacist at Walmart called them at ten and been on the line for at least 10 minutes until they answered and finally faxed it to Walmart where i picked it for 1/5 of the price at Walgreens. (Yesterday at Lincoln City i would have bought only the ointment, for 50 bucks, the pills were 150 but didn't need them so badly). At Walmart i paid 40 bucks for the whole thing.
