When life hangs on a dollar

Alan Shepard once famously quoted, "It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract."

As one of the first American astronauts, Shepard comprehended the significant risks inherent in venturing beyond Earth's atmosphere. His words underscore the reality that despite remarkable strides in space exploration, safety often hinges on the cheapest solutions for government contracts.

This quote serves as a poignant reminder that progress in space can sometimes require compromises and necessitate placing full trust in the capabilities of others, even at the expense of safety.

Celebrate National Astronaut Day on May 5th.

Concerned about privacy? Everyone is vulnerable, however, there is a way to mitigate that vulnerability.

Keep up to date on what you share, how you share, who friends you, who texts you (even friends), the type of questions asked and so much more.

Only you are responsible for what happens on and to your account and profile on social media.

Do not expect Meta to protect you. They can give you the tools but only you can use them and you need to know how.
These tools are always being updated and if you seriously care, it's your own responsibility to manage those tools. The rules are always changing.

For now, here's a good place to start. Get a coffee or a tea, sit down and study - or not.

It's not rocket science that we all get a little more squirrely when things don't go as planned. We all (yes you do too) believe in something that isn't proven and just plain isn't true.
Think about not walking under a ladder, or a black cat crossing your path is bad luck, or count to 10 when you forget something or __insert your own belief here __________.
We all love a mystery and we all love those movies, shows and games where we have to figure things out for ourselves. Here's where it starts to cross the line - you believe someone is out to get you or us, you start getting more frantic that there is a plot to kill everyone, you start looking for answers that will back up what your mind is telling you is real - but only 1 or 2 people will have the information that fits your belief.
This is where you may want to ask yourself a few questions.
1. When did you first notice and get interested in an alternate theory?
2. How did it make you feel?
3. Are you now obsessed looking for more and more 'proof' for yourself to keep believing?
4. Have you lost family members and friends because of these beliefs?

There's always some pretty crazy s**t on the internet. Today I saw someone say Monkeypox is the same as Chickenpox because they saw a similar picture. WTF people. Please educate yourselves.

What is monkeypox?

Monkeypox virus is similar to the virus that causes smallpox (Variola virus). It is different from the Varicella-zoster virus (a herpes virus) which causes chickenpox.

2018 middle of New Brunswick. Since the whole long video was the virtually the same, I thought you might like a small peak at this part of nothing. Woods and more woods. No amenities, no gas, no pit stops and the road is a narrow two way follow the lay of the land kind. Just good music to listen to.

It may have changed a bit since this video from 2018. There was some highway widening happening in the interior.

I've been pondering the conspiracy theorists and why they do what they do. What drives them?
It's a good idea to be aware of the tactics and telltale signs so you don't inadvertently pass on the conspiracy or fall for it. They can be anyone inside or outside your circle of friends or family.

There is no telling who or what groups will be affected by it, but there are identifiable clues. The following list is from different sources on how to identify whether an article or person may be linked to conspiracy or have been duped by one.

These articles below also offer tips on how to identify whether a post is in fact conspiracy, misguided or just lies and also be able to recognize the lingo you'll hear / see.

Uncomplicate Things

All our lives we work hard at making everyday things simple and the result is often the reverse. Subscribe to the KISS theory (Keep It Simple, Stupid). We will foray into the science of simple rules, simple tools.

The dangers of everyday life are looking us in the face. We take so much for granted like clean water, fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and potatoes, a roof over our heads and friends and family. When you have these, life is great so why can’t we help wanting more. We become selfish, and forgetful of our history. Everyday is steeped full of anger and hate and greed and it becomes a challenge not to stoop to ignorance's demands. Politicians prey on this and incite us to either do better or to follow the crowd mentality and push everyone to accept a new normal.

Where are you in this daily challenge? Do you accept the status quo? is your life perfect and you just feel you have to share and make everyone else the same? Are you comfortable and have no need to vent or share and stay clear of social media (then you’re not even reading this).

Kindergarten rules to follow everyday were laid out succinctly by Robert Fulghum in his book “All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten”
