• I got caught in an April Fools hoax that (as my mother would say) sounded too true to be funny: That Tesla canceled all plans to produce its Cybertruck. (Read the last sentence, as I failed to ( Read more... )

• Lazarus 2.2.0 is now available for download. It's based on FreePascal 3.2.2. I've been playing with it now for a couple of weeks on both Win7 and Win10 and it's terrific.

During my reasearch into how SARS2 mRNA vaccines operate, a very odd notion occurred to me: Can zinc ions interfere with vaccines?

It's an important question for Carol and me. At the advice of ( Read more... )

• The major social networks are now suppressing any mention of research that supports the effectiveness of ivermectin and HCQ against SARS-CoV-2. I've given up, as it's a bad use of my time to try to slip information past those insufferable busybodies. So I guess I have to be content with Contra here and MeWe, which so far hasn't given anybody any ( Read more... )
