The Horrifying Reality Of "Trans" Surgical Butchery
restoremag.com/the-horrifying-…

"hysicians traditionally uphold the Hippocratic principle, “first, do no harm.” In the United States, contemporary adaptations of the oath reflect evolving values. In the United Kingdom, doctors adhere to the General Medical Council’s guidelines rather than a sworn oath. In Thailand, Hippocratic principles merge with Buddhist ethics, emphasising compassion and social duty.

During the Weimar Republic, homosexual doctor Magnus Hirschfeld emerged as a pioneering researcher in sex and gender. In 1930, under his supervision, Lili Elbe underwent one of the earliest documented gender reassignments, which included orchiectomy (testicle removal) and penectomy (penis removal); he died following a failed uterine transplant. Hirschfeld’s work influenced Dr. Harry Benjamin in New York, who later advanced hormonal interventions. In 1933, the Nazi regime destroyed Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexual Science, forcing his exile."

"Many surgeons performing SRS operate from private clinics in Thailand, where medical negligence laws are far weaker than in the West. This legal vacuum allows surgeons to advertise globally and profit from vulnerable patients while evading accountability. WPATH, while presenting itself as an authority, does not establish enforceable standards or accept responsibility for outcomes."

"The case of Jazz Jennings illustrates the catastrophic outcomes of paediatric medical transition. Administered puberty blockers at age 10, he experienced arrested genital development, resulting in a microphallus which precluded standard penile-inversion vaginoplasty.

He subsequently underwent sigmoid vaginoplasty, suffering numerous complications including wound dehiscence and stenosis, necessitating multiple surgical revisions, all shown live on TV. This saw rooms full of adult doctors telling him how to dilate his new neo-vagina, with his mother implying if he did not keep up with the dilation schedule at university, she would force the dildo up there herself.

Jennings was "transitioned" by his parents at age five when he proudly proclaimed to his mother he was a girl and enjoyed wearing girls dresses and shoes. This prompted his mother to get him on puberty blockers at 10, causing the micro-penis and failure of the “usual” SRS surgery.

His public statements, such as “I still do not feel like myself”, indicate persistent psychological distress and possible regret following irreversible mutilation. Magazines often interview 16 year old Jennings about his ability, or inability to orgasm due to the puberty blockers.

Jennings’ surgery was performed by two big names in the medical world; Dr Marci Bowers and Dr Jess Ting."

"Genital reassignment surgery is a radical, experimental practice which violates fundamental biological and ethical principles. It destroys healthy tissue to create non-functional simulacra, ignores profound physiological constraints, and exacerbates rather than alleviates psychological distress."

"The medical establishment’s adherence to ideologically-driven misinformation represents a gross violation of anatomical truth and clinical ethics.

The medical establishment has suppressed honest discussion regarding catastrophic outcomes, prioritising ideological conformity over patient safety. These procedures are not reconstructive; they are iatrogenic mutilations which sterilise, disfigure, and often psychologically cripple vulnerable individuals.

It represents a profound ethical and medical failure. The claim a surgically-altered male can experience "female orgasm" is not only scientifically false, but a cruel deception which preys on vulnerable individuals suffering from mental illness. This is not the first time doctors have collectively been caught in the middle of horrific behaviour.

From both a Christian and medical ethics perspective, it constitutes a complete betrayal of the Hippocratic Oath, prioritising irreversible, experimental mutilation over genuine healing. In a word, it is evil."

@Cozy Clew Dell has it's up sides, they're robust, they are Linux friendly, and it's downsides, they use non-standard components so replacement parts are limited. But they are solid machines. I've got a laptop that is ten years, a desktop that is more than two decades and even the original hard drive still works in the damned thing. It ain't a speed demon but it just keeps going. I did replace the original nVidia card with an AMD because it was no longer supported in modern Linux kernels but otherwise it's stock.

I finally will be getting the last fucking quarter I need for the 50 states quarters, provided the U.S. mail don't steal it before it gets sent to Korea.

I'd been missing 8 of the state quarters, but when I visited the U.S. again in 2024, my father and his wife had a change jar, and they had seven of the eight in there.

They found the last one I need for the collection as a late Xmas gift... mother fucking UTAH!

Hi, these are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

Good news: it looks like the data collection and posting cadence is back on track. The DoH even backfilled the missing data.

The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7 day running average of its detected Sars-CoV-2 is up a bit. The last calculation was made on 1/6.

WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistica…. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth

UNRWA: Displaced families in Gaza face difficulties in obtaining clean drinking water dailyyemen.net/2026/01/15/unrw…

Why Advanced Technology in Ready-Mix Equipment Can Raise Your Plant's Price


The procurement of ready-mix concrete equipment represents a significant capital investment, and the integration of advanced technology is a primary driver elevating initial purchase prices. This price differential is not an arbitrary premium but a direct reflection of the research, development, and sophisticated engineering embedded within modern systems. To view this cost solely as an expense is a fundamental mischaracterization; it is an allocation of capital towards measurable gains in precision, control, operational intelligence, and long-term asset viability. The technological enhancements that contribute to a higher price point are engineered to address the core financial drains of a concrete plant for sale: material waste, energy inefficiency, unpredictable downtime, and quality non-conformance. Therefore, understanding the specific technological domains that command this investment is crucial for evaluating the total cost of ownership and return on investment.

## The Engineering Premium: The Cost of Precision and Integration
The foundational price increase stems from the physical and digital architecture of the equipment itself. Traditional plants utilize basic mechanical systems and rudimentary controls. Advanced technology replaces these with high-fidelity sensor networks and integrated control systems. For example, aggregate moisture measurement evolves from manual sampling to automated, microwave-based probes providing real-time, continuous data with an accuracy of ±0.1%. This sensor data feeds into a deterministic control algorithm that auto-corrects water addition within milliseconds. The development, calibration, and ruggedization of such sensor suites, alongside the industrial-grade programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and human-machine interfaces (HMIs) required to process their inputs, constitute a substantial engineering cost.
Similarly, the mechanical systems for material handling and batching undergo a transformation. Precision-load-cell technology with advanced signal conditioning replaces simple mechanical scales, ensuring weighing accuracy that meets or exceeds national standards like NTEP. Pneumatic or servo-driven admixture dosing systems with milliliter accuracy supersede basic volumetric dispensers. The integration of these components into a cohesive, error-resistant system requires extensive design validation, software programming for seamless interoperability, and the use of higher-grade materials to ensure long-term calibration stability. This engineering rigor directly translates to a higher bill of materials and a more complex manufacturing process, both of which are reflected in the purchase price.
## Operational Intelligence and Data Infrastructure
Beyond core process control, a significant portion of the technological premium is allocated to operational intelligence layers. Modern plants are not isolated units; they are data-generating nodes. This capability requires investment in proprietary [ready mix plant](aimixconcretesolution.com/conc…) management software that goes far beyond simple batching. This software encompasses production scheduling, automated truck dispatch integrated with GPS, detailed reporting for quality assurance (QA) and environmental compliance, and inventory management for raw materials. The research and development of intuitive, reliable software platforms, along with the necessary local server infrastructure or cloud connectivity, represents a considerable sunk cost for the manufacturer, amortized across equipment sales.
![AJM series concrete plant in AIMIX manufacturer](287689)
Furthermore, this intelligence demands robust digital infrastructure. Secure data transmission via encrypted cellular or ethernet connections, cybersecurity measures to protect operational data, and application programming interfaces (APIs) for integration with third-party enterprise resource planning (ERP) or building information modeling (BIM) systems all add layers of cost. The plant's control system must be engineered for both operational technology (OT) reliability and information technology (IT) compatibility, a dual requirement that necessitates specialized components and software development, further distinguishing it from a basic, standalone unit.
## The Long-Term Value Proposition: Justifying the Capital Outlay
The critical analysis must shift from upfront cost to the long-term value accretion enabled by this technology. The primary financial justification is the drastic reduction in material variance and waste. Precise moisture compensation and weighing eliminate costly over-batching of cement and admixtures, while consistent mix quality reduces the risk of off-spec concrete and associated rejection costs. This precision directly protects profit margins on every cubic meter produced, offering a rapid return on the technological investment.
Equally significant is the shift from reactive to predictive operational management. Embedded condition-monitoring sensors on motors, reducers, and mixers track temperature, vibration, and performance metrics. This data enables predictive maintenance analytics, identifying component wear before failure occurs. The result is a transformation of maintenance from a disruptive, costly event into a scheduled, controlled activity. This maximizes [wet mix concrete plant](aimixconcretesolution.com/conc…) availability, eliminates catastrophic downtime, and optimizes spare parts inventory. The technology provides not just a machine, but an asset management system that enhances reliability, extends equipment lifespan, and provides auditable data for operational optimization. Consequently, the elevated price is a strategic investment in cost predictability, risk mitigation, and sustained profitability, positioning the plant as a competitive asset rather than a commodity cost center.

Did Anyone Even Notice PBS News Weekend Signed Off Permanently...

The answer, quite frankly, is no, and this comes after Congress cut $1.1 billion in federal funding for public broadcasting over the Trump administration's view that the public broadcasting outlet was spewing left-wing propaganda.

"Due to federal budget cuts, PBS News had to make the difficult decision to rework our staffing and programming. This Sunday, our PBS News Weekend team will sign off the air," PBS News Weekend wrote on X.
