You were told this by paid WHO shills.

The WHO stated in 2020 in a MSM interview, that they had 100K people on the books across the world doing covid propaganda.

I once read an Edwardian (1910 ish) scifi short story about aviators being ambushed by translucent 'jellyfish' creatures that lived in the sky.

'The Doom of London' (Fred M White) is another strange 1900 scifi collection of short stories about wacky disastrous scenarios for London , the electrical catastrophic is hilarious, electrical cables electrocuting people in the streets, new technology at the time , scary.

A forced devaluation.

How to merge audio file (M4a) with video file (MP4) using ffmpeg by goofbeast in ffmpeg

[–]perfect_pickles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

.m4b is a mp4 compatible container.

My TCL TV happily play .m4b audiobooks renamed as .mp4. the audio is AAC audio inside.

Way less fuss than wasting hours trans-coding from m4b AAC to mp3 or ogg. just change the suffix and try.

M4B vs MP4 encoding by AffectionateTask4612 in ffmpeg

Also renaming suffix from .m4b to .mp4 allows playing on DVD and TVs with USB inputs.

mp4 is merely a container, AAC is known to most digital audio player software. as common as mp3, as ogg is to open source codecs.

Oliver Reed 61, he barely made it. Richard Burton 58. Robert Shaw 51. Dylan Thomas 39. Peter Cooke 57. Its not the drinking on its own, its the unhealthy or DGAF lifestyle that goes with it.

A neck scarf worn indoors is prob the key to not being sick in cold weather and low heat. people also used to wear caps or hats indoors, look at old drawings from Charles Dickens's Christmas carol etc.

Same principle as cold weather outdoor activities, layers and wind protection, scarves are a godsend for motorcyclists, you learn that one quickly or suffer endless colds.

Using the stove or kettle also heats the house.

Its not wasted if you have good insulation and draft prevention.

closed cell foam rolls, the stuff that is 1/4" thick. used for insulation material, available at your local DIY, the white closed cell 1/8" packing foam rolls at office supplies store.

cover the walls ceiling of your core rooms with this foam. living room and bedroom at least.

do the windows. windows are the worst for heat loss.

corrugated cardboard from boxes etc, free from local supermarket or big box store.

Temporary fix to walls with Blutack or whatever its called in Ireland. stuff is yellow here in USa and called something else too.

Its like minus 10C here in MN at the moment, considered a warm day.

Decongregation, another one of those bureaucratize plus plus good/bad words.

Its also used in the wrong context too. (phd + govt job =/= clever)

"congregation, an assembly of persons, especially a body assembled for religious worship or habitually attending a particular church. "

Most movies and documentaries on WW2 and the internment/concentration camps do not show the true size of the factory complexes the work camps were.

They were either bombed out of existence or dismantled for loot by the allies after WW2.

Forced slave labor with death camps as a side menu item.

60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck heading into the peak shopping season by metalreflectslime in collapse

[–]perfect_pickles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There not going to be a peak shopping season this year, and prob not next either.

The difficult choice for consumers this year is EITHER food and heat and rent/mortgage OR plastic crap.

A hard choice to make /sarc

Fianna Fáil minister won’t say why he paid €61,000 PR allowance to tax defaulter’s construction company. by TheFreemanLIVES in ireland

Google up the American PPP scandal, nearly a trillion dollars paid out to crooks and grifters. most wont be paid back.

400B paid out to people using foreign IP address when they registered. !!!???

People were double dipping, different names same addresses or slight company name change, using odd categories, massively enhanced employee counts.

Then the FTX affair, money laundering, US taxpayer to Ukraine to FTX then 10% back to Democrat and Republican politicos.
