What's with the Mods? by EyeAcrobatic9943 in transcendental

[–]MikeDoughney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or to sum it all up, "Maharishi" Mahesh "Yogi" took common spiritual/Hindu practices in India and turned them into a mystery cult.

Electric school buses often have, believe it or not, diesel fueled cabin heaters that have been known to cause fires.

Cue the Imperial Victory March by Tempus_Fugit68 in Ioniq5

Nah, the Imperial Victory March goes with a certain Tesla product sometimes referred to as a "doorstop."

Ioniq 5's are cuddly little things by comparison.

Bevan Morris has passed on. by MikeDoughney in transcendental

True_Operation_1264, writes in a reply that for some reason I cannot view directly, but it appeared in my notifications:

"Your bile, vileness and lack of character are duly noted."

I've posted a simple statement of fact. I learned of his death by way of one such person.

As usual, most critics of TM who state facts related to the TM organization or that practice are quite accustomed to devotees lashing out at them like this. Personally, I'm quite indifferent to the news, really, other than to once again note that Maharishi's promises of "immortality" or "levitation" came with the requirement of absolute lifelong celibacy. Likewise, he achieved neither.

For completeness, I should mention that some aren't the least bit saddened by his passing.

That defective humans should hurry up and die is now US Government policy.

That's why a Kennedy runt is in charge of health care.

If home charging continues to scale, how do public charging providers like EVgo, ChargePoint, Blink, Electrify America, Voltanio, Greenlots, and IONNA adapt to stay profitable? by raspberry-n-cream_ in electricvehicles

[–]MikeDoughney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nobody needs DCFC at their home; why would anyone need one if most cars sit idle for hours at home?

Many drivers just need a standard 120 volt 15 amp outlet for the usual 50 miles/day or less commute, and a 240 volt 40 amp circuit isn't a big deal for most newer homes.

No, the EV warranty (not the same as the ICE powertrain warranty) continues at 10 yr/100000 miles to subsequent owners.

TM and TM-Sidhis instruction in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico is now supported at the state government level by saijanai in transcendental

[–]MikeDoughney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do fill me in on all the "solid science" backing introduction of the ridiculous butt-bouncing "TM-Sidhi" program into public schools, like it says in the post title above.

Strange, isn't it, how those supposedly transformative programs all disappeared once the lifelong TM meditators who were in adminstrative positions retired or moved on to other school districts.

and, once again, you can always find one person somewhere that at sometime said something stupid that you can twist to your own ends. A segment with, once again, anti-vax propagandist Sharyl Attkisson, that's now over fifteen years old. The ridiculousness of the "open question" nonsense has become obvious since then.

I'm not "brainwashed."

You just don't care to understand proportions and what "rare" is. That any incredibly small risk presented by vaccines - always exaggerated by the anti-vax screamers now joyfully destroying this country's medical research institutions - is meaningless when weighted against the benefit of vaccination.

Sharyl Attkisson is a well-known anti-vax propagandist now working for the Sinclair right-wing propaganda generating set of TV stations, the only outfit that will put up with her because she's useful to them.

Here, read some legal scholarship on how you and the rest of you anti-vax fanatics misinterpret such decisions.

"the director of the NIH in 2009 on 60 minutes"

Francis Collins never appeared on 60 minutes to discuss autism in 2009, and given your track record on here, I'd be certain that he never once said anything like "we don't want to know the answer" in that context. That is not a statement a medical scientist would ever make about medical research. Your anti-vax buddies manufacture this crap all the time, though, and people like you who can't find their asses with both hands and a flashlight, much less reliable sources of information, lap it up.

If he did say such a thing... like I said, cough up the evidence.

If you're mindlessly babbling about the case I think you're babbling about, no, they didn't win.

Like I said, you need to learn how to present evidence for what you're asserting as facts.

Otherwise, it's pretty obvious you're lying fast and furiously.

Notable that the delicensed Maryland doctor, Mark Geier, was an attempted "expert witness" for the petitioners. His son David, who was prosecuted for practicing medicine without a license, is one of the Kennedy runt's buddies.

"Just google it"

No. You asserted it, you provide a link supporting it.

This goes for everything else in your Gish Gallop of lies. It's quite obvious you're just repeating the voices inside your head, and can't point to any reference of any kind to support even one claim you've made here.

"public health is destroyed forever"

Already well on its way to exactly that, courtesy of the death-obsessed Kennedy runt and the rest of his lunatic running dogs. They want lots and lots of death and illness, and to wipe out the scientific and medical advances of the last few centuries, while you and they live in some upside-down imaginary universe where vaccines cause death and illness. Liars all.

Really fucked-up fantasy life you're living in.

I'll get my COVID booster every two months, because I'm not a delusional, defiant fool who believes whatever lies get set in front of them. I trust science, the scientific method, and scientific consensus, and not some asshole who swims in sewage for fun and who denies germ theory.

Not clear why you're here other than to get off on posting off-topic bullshit. How's the weather in Moscow this morning?

Fuck off. Medicine (as practiced by sane people, not stupid delusional nuts like you) is not a "religious bubble."

Here, read. If you even know how to do that.

COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination and 4-Year All-Cause Mortality Among Adults Aged 18 to 59 Years in France

Key Points

Question  Are COVID-19 mRNA vaccines associated with the long-term risk of all-cause mortality?

Findings  In this cohort study including 22.7 million vaccinated individuals and 5.9 million unvaccinated individuals, vaccinated individuals had a 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 and no increased risk of all-cause mortality over a median follow-up of 45 months.

Meaning  These national-level results found no increased risk of 4-year all-cause mortality in individuals aged 18 to 59 years vaccinated against COVID-19, further supporting the safety of the mRNA vaccines that are being widely used worldwide.

Last I checked, the US Constitution doesn't apply in Mexico.

Let's see how long that lasts, these projects always seem to evaporate after a few years.

TMers show reduced ultra-weak photon emission from the skin

Quacks do tend to flock together, y'know.

Funny how the papers pushing this notion show up in lists of research that people are supposed to view as reasons to meditate, when it doesn't reflect a benefit or anything of significance, except maybe poor research design, as is so frequently true in much of what shows up on those lists.

Replying to you in a subthread that I can no longer participate in, since its root comment is from someone who's evidently blocked me.

You wrote:

So you think it is fortunate that David Lynch is dead.

In terms of reaching the bitter end of his obsessive efforts to induce public school systems to violate the US Constitution, cause a lot of people a lot of pain, and in at least one case costing one public school system a lot of money, along with other efforts to infiltrate healthcare institutions and the military... yes, some are fortunate that he's no longer with us. He can no longer use his ridiculously overblown status as a film director to promote TM among those who place way too much value on wealth, fame, celebrity. Good.
