Message-ID: Dear radio kitchen table of experts in getting it done with what's on hand! WHAT do y'all use to record *both sides* of a *cell phone* conversation for a radio interview?? The "updated" operating systems now block cell phones from recording the incoming voices in applications now... Are we going to have to figure out how to put Linux on our cell phones to get functionalities back? In the meantime... what workarounds are y'all finding? I did find THIS ... but its *primitive*. https://spycentre.com/products/bluetooth-phone-call-recorder-with-4gb-internal-memory?variant=15024819907¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=CjwKCAiA9qKbBhAzEiwAS4yeDRlUnVgCk543ibKwLfak45tOJmD4YdcH9V82xwfpk_4hMj8XPFqKIhoC4J4QAvD_BwE WE USED to make a little mini-hybrid by taking the 3.5mm audio jack and sending their voice to one channel and mine to another, but now cell phones have NO AUDIO JACK for hands free anymore! Sincerely, Christopher "Max" Maxwell PS: I kind of disappeared bc of Cancer, now its metastasized to the backbone and hips and so I've abandoned trying to cure it and I'm working on one last big project on my way out and want to produce some interviews for radio, podcasts etc. Ocean Acidification destroying the phytoplankton that make 70%of the oxygen we breathe ! And solutions... such as building solar synthetic fuels project that extracts CO? from the air with solar power thereby stopping that 6th mass extinction by closing the carbon loop for transportation- so we can stop getting carbon out of the ground! First the two article excerpts of the science on Ocean Acidification Then the solution: ===== 40% loss of oxygen production in just the last mere 50 (fifty!) years is going to make EVERYTHING we've taken for GRANTED a scarce commodity in a STEEP curve into Mass Extinction!! The monsters realise they must disenfranchise absolutely as many people as possible bc the jig is up for the current world order! Nature is going to take us into a new world order whether we like it or not unless we change course DRAMATICALLY! The key to saving society ... is THROWING OUT THE RULES THAT GOT US HERE! Know whats worse than nuclear winter over Ukraine? Winning. Winning is worse if it returns us to a status quo that BOILS us off the planet. We're in way more danger than just rising sea levels - we may kill the ocean that contains phytoplankton that make up 70% of the oxygen we breathe! Carbonic acid coming out of the air by washing excess carbon dioxide is acidifying the ocean and dissolving the shells of the phytoplankton that are made out of calcium! The phytoplankton that makes 70% of the oxygen we breathe are being *dissolved* by Ocean Acidification! Ocean acidification results from Carbonic acid coming out of the air by rain washing increased carbon dioxide is acidifying the ocean and dissolving the shells of the phytoplankton that are made out of calcium! "In the past decade ocean oxygen levels have taken a dive?an alarming trend that is linked to climate change, says Andreas Oschlies, an oceanographer at the Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel in Germany, whose team tracks ocean oxygen levels worldwide. ?We were surprised by the intensity of the changes we saw, how rapidly oxygen is going down in the ocean and how large the effects on marine ecosystems are,? he says. It is no surprise to scientists that warming oceans are losing oxygen, but the scale of the dip calls for urgent attention, Oschlies says. Oxygen levels in some tropical regions have dropped by a startling 40 percent in the last 50 years, some recent studies reveal. Levels have dropped more subtly elsewhere, with an average loss of 2 percent globally. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-ocean-is-running-out-of-breath-scientists-warn/#:~:text=The%20Ocean%20Is%20Running%20Out%20of%20Breath%2C%20Scientists%20Warn,-Widespread%20and%20sometimes&text=Escaping%20predators%2C%20digestion%20and%20other,those%20of%20humans%E2%80%94require%20oxygen.&text=Oxygen%20levels%20in%20some%20tropical,years%2C%20some%20recent%20studies%20reveal .

Fairvote.org If that fails then it is time for a Constitutional Convention as the current one is obviously no longer up to the task. ---------______-------- This time Humanity is the meteor/volcano: We are repeating the Permian Mass Extinction pattern of destroying the phytoplankton that make 70%of the oxygen we breathe through ocean acidification. "The largest extinction in Earth's history marked the end of the Permian period, some 252 million years ago. Long before dinosaurs, our planet was populated with plants and animals that were mostly obliterated after a series of massive volcanic eruptions in Siberia. Fossils in ancient seafloor rocks display a thriving and diverse marine ecosystem, then a swath of corpses. Some 96 percent of marine species were wiped out during the "Great Dying," followed by millions of years when life had to multiply and diversify once more. What has been debated until now is exactly what made the oceans inhospitable to life ? the high acidity of the water, metal and sulfide poisoning, a complete lack of oxygen, or simply higher temperatures. New research from the University of Washington and Stanford University combines models of ocean conditions and animal metabolism with published lab data and paleoceanographic records to show that the Permian mass extinction in the oceans was caused by global warming that left animals unable to breathe. As temperatures rose and the metabolism of marine animals sped up, the warmer waters could not hold enough oxygen for them to survive. The study is published in the Dec. 7 issue of Science. https://earth.stanford.edu/news/what-caused-earths-biggest-mass-extinction#gs.4rg5l0 ------____----- and the solution: "This pilot plant runs on concentrating solar thermal energy. One hundred and sixty-nine sun-tracking reflector panels, each presenting three square meters (~32 sq ft) of surface area, redirect sunlight into a 16-cm (6.3-in) hole in the solar reactor at the top of the 15-m-tall (49-ft) central tower. This reactor receives an average of about 2,500 suns' worth of energy ? about 50 kW of solar thermal power. This heat is used to drive a two-step thermochemical redox cycle. Water and pure carbon dioxide are fed in to a ceria-based redox reaction, which converts them simultaneously into hydrogen and carbon monoxide, or syngas. Because this is all being done in a single chamber, it's possible to tweak the rates of water and CO2 to live-manage the exact composition of the syngas. This syngas is fed to a Gas-to-Liquid (GtL) unit at the bottom of the tower, which produced a liquid phase containing 16% kerosene and 40% diesel, as well as a wax phase with 7% kerosene and 40% diesel ? proving that the ceria-based ceramic solar reactor definitely produced syngas pure enough for conversion into synthetic fuels. ?We are the first to demonstrate the entire thermochemical process chain from water and CO2 to kerosene in a fully-integrated solar tower system,? said ETH Professor Aldo Steinfeld, the corresponding author of the research paper. ?This solar tower fuel plant was operated with a setup relevant to industrial implementation, setting a technological milestone towards the production of sustainable aviation fuels." https://newatlas.com/energy/solar-jet-fuel-tower/#:~:text=2022%20New%20Atlas-,All%2Din%2Done%20solar%20tower%20produces%20jet%20fuel,from%20CO2%2C%20water%20and%20sunlight&text=Taking%20carbon%20dioxide%2C%20water%20and,a%20promising%20clean%20fuel%20project .
