12:35 Meme du jour.
Not only. Was watching Kojak on youtube last night. Having trouble understand what they are talking (and are talking a lot). Part of it is sound quality due to technology at that time. Part of it is the actors are not native English speakers. Try for yourself. And they were well dressed.

12:44 AM I believe many people were scandalized when i said variations of atmospheric pressure can influence pressure 50 or 100 km deep inside Earth. Here's a few facts. Force created by atmospheric pressure on a square meter or weight of the atmosphere above a square meter is about 10 tons.
How much is that when calculated on an area of hundreds of square km above a seismic area?
How come we do not get crushed by this weight? Because every cell of our body has been born and raised under this pressure, so it's inside and outside, the same.
The same way some fish survive in much greater pressure deep in the sea.
But variations. Have you ever heard of people complaining of pains with "change of weather" which usually involves change of the atmospheric pressure which can go from minus 4.3 percent to plus 2.6?
How much is that? 6.9 percent of 20 tons?
2:07 It just occurred to me. This would mean the 7% variations in atmospheric pressure could translate in the same amount of variations in blood pressure. I mean, there's a difference between 140 and 150, right?

2:15 Today i realized i don't crave sweets so much anymore. First thing that came in mind was i was taking vitamin C in the cutaneous way (DIY patches) for a while now.
Could it be craving for sweets when we lack vitamin C an evolutionary response to the fact that fruits, a major source of vitamin C, are usually sweet ? The other major source being vegetables that don't seem to have been part of the prehistoric humans diet because they need cooking and some, like potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, were available on the American continent only.
Same goes for alcohol. Many fruits contain alcohols.
However the other reason could be, unfortunately, i'm smoking now.

I ran into something i forgot and never understood well from an application since 8 years ago. A diagram showing tidal variations over the years, in Seattle.
I did not have the time to fully understand that and the rest of the page, but i already have a conclusion. Tides are highest at solstices and lowest at equinoxes, because of course of the Earth distance to the Sun, but also because of the exposure of different faces of the Earth to the Sun, due to seasons.
According to this, and the fact that tides are a measure of all combined gravitational forces exerted by Sun and Moon, there should be another correlation with earthquakes. That of points of Earth on the ecliptic.
So what do i have so far?
Distance to the Moon (or apparent diameter of Moon).
Phase of the Moon (alignment Earth-Moon-Sun).
Solstices and equinoxes. I hope i will have the time to verify this in the next few days. I am almost positive a correlation will be found.
And then, the questions. Why am i the first to show this? Why people back in my youth have tried to embed all these information into my life, so i will remember it later? Who is suppressing all this knowledge?
8:52 Orban, meddling in Romania's EU Parliamentary Elections. Not that it matters. Being a UE MP is like a sweet retirement for used Romanian politicians.
I remember the times of Ceaușescu when heads of states were visiting each other's countries on invitation basis.
