@wdt,

That’s neat. Good to know. Thanks.

Chooch:

A lot of things are absorbed by the human skin.

Right now I have a bad case of poison ivy on my hands and arms! Obviously my skin absorbed the oil from the poison ivy plant all too well! My treatment method is when a spot gets itchy, to rip the blister raw until it bleeds and then wash the area with dish soap which can cut the oil, to prevent the oil from spreading, unlike mild hand soap. Then treat with hydrocortisone cream to dry up the affected area. Of course I do the opposite of what the doctors would advise, leave it alone! I have no intention of suffering for weeks when I can reduce it to mere days!

When I was working with hydraulically driven machinery we used to apply a barrier cream to our hands to try and reduce the amount of crap obsorbed from the hydraulic fluid by our skin when working with hydraulic valves. I remember the company doctor going on a rant about all the bad crap in hydraulic fluids!

@Antidote and Thomasjkenne: Thank You,
Not sleeping tonight.
Big day at work today and another tomorrow. This is my month of saying goodbye and explaining, and doing everything that needs to be done.

Luongo on the European Energy issue:

“..What’s the goal? Chaos and the continued undermining of faith in politics, capital markets, energy production and seizing supply chains as we approach the winter in the Northern Hemisphere where susceptibility to pesky things like the flu, the latest iteration of COVID-9/11 and blatant political bullshit swells like a boil on the back of a government bureaucrat blocking a permit for some basic, but eminently important thing.
That Putin came out and told the world he’s ready to work with Europe to do his part alleviating the energy supply problems in Europe I’ve not heard one encouraging word from those that would benefit from this the most.
Their silence is deafening..”

Seems like a reasonable working hypothesis to me.
I think he throws in a misdirecting whopper or two though, just for fun: like the idea that voter preferences in “Germany” or “USA” have anything whatsoever to do with what happens politically.

Also, the tendency seen often on the ‘net to call what’s being inflicted on the Many “communism”- Luongo does that, too.

odd.
