is There a Way to Delete All Text Messages Containing Certain Words?

I get dozens of messages each day from the Trump campaign.  Thia is annoying and it takes a long time to block and delete each one.

I Wanted a Gamma Ray Source to Test my Survey Meter...

So when I went in for my nuclear stress test today, using technetium-99 metastable isomer.   I thought I knew nuclear physics pretty well but metastable and isomer (at least for nuclei) were both brand new.  This produces gamma rays and beta particles.  The tech confirmed that my radiation survey meter should get excited in my presence.  

It appears to be true.  I zeroed the meter.  I tried the X1 setting on my abdomen (maximum tissue with blood in it) which gave between .01 and .02 roentgens/hour, and barely off the 0 on the floor, which is about what I would expect for whatever quantity they injected me with about 5 hours ago. (i think she said it was about 10 microcuries of Technetium-99.)

At first guess .01 r/hr seems plausible.  Unfortunately, roentgens are from a Civil Defense and public safety standpoint, obsolete.  REMs, or roentgens equivalent mammal are a bit smaller than roentgens. 

"The dose of radiation expected to cause death to 50 percent of an exposed population within 30 days (LD 50/30). Typically, the LD 50/30 is in the range from 400 to 450 rem (4 to 5 sieverts) received over a very short period."

Revoke Their Scholarships and Deport the Aliens

5/16/24 Campus Reform:

"PSYCHO: Masked pro-Hamas activists show up at UMich regents' homes in middle of the night, lay 'fake corpses' on lawn."

Bad but worse:

"The University of Michigan said that over 30 student protesters showed up at Regent Sarah Hubbard’s home early Wednesday morning and placed tents and “fake corpses wrapped in bloodied sheets” on the lawn, in addition to marching and chanting.

"Another regent, Jordan Acker, wrote on X that the protesters showed up at around 4:40 a.m. “with a list of demands” that included “defunding the police.”"

If they are U S. Citizens, this type of intimidation should cause the university to revoke their scholarship.  If they are an alien, deport them. Maybe they can become suicide bombers with a short fuse.

To Prevent Suicide

The argument that the mutilators use to get parents to mutilated their children is that trans kids commit suicide.  "You want to save your child, right?"

The abstract from "Risk of Suicide and Self-Harm Following Gender-Affirmation Surgery" in Cureus (2024):

"Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not (3.47% vs. 0.29%, RR 95% CI 9.20-15.96, p < 0.0001). Compared to the tubal ligation/vasectomy controls, the risk was 5.03-fold higher before propensity matching and remained significant at 4.71-fold after matching (3.50% vs. 0.74%, RR 95% CI 2.46-9.024, p < 0.0001) for the gender affirmation patients with similar results with the pharyngitis controls. Conclusion Gender-affirming surgery is significantly associated with elevated suicide attempt risks, underlining the necessity for comprehensive post-procedure psychiatric support."

How about comprehensive pre-procedure psychiatric support.  And maybe a society that is not actively promoting mutilation instead of asking why children are suddenly intent on self-harm?

Major Victory in Hawaii

In response to a suit on which I contributed expert declarations, Hawaii has revised their weapons laws.  A bunch of deadly weapons that used to be prohibited from open carry (clubs, switch blades, butterfly knives and handguns) are now only prohibited for concealed carry or if used in conjunction with a misdemeanor or felony while openly carried.

It would appear that open carry is now legal in Hawaii.  I would count on police stopping you and asking for ID for a background check.

Mike Moyle

The volume of RINO hit pieces on Mike Moyle claiming he is carrying out Obama's agenda is startling.  The left is spending a lot of money trying to defeat Moyle.  I am hoping all this is in hopes that California refugees with no knowledge of Moyle will go ahead and vote against him.  So if you know any recent arrivals, warn them that Moyle is a serious conservative and these nasty mailers are attempts by the left to put a RINO in place of Moyle.
