Scratchen faces off with Death, loses life #2 of 9

Of course on the day Scratchen has an unexpected, untreatable and uncontrollable seizure... ...I find out that, in just one dose of iodine-131, her hyperthyroidism could have been cured. I'm not sure if that's what led to her present condition... ...but, I doubt it helped. Around 7:55 AM EST, Scratchen arrived at the same emergency clinic that treated her for congestive heart failure [ see The Door, The Cross and The Cat ]; less than an hour later, she was transported to another clinic, IndyVet , for a neurological examination. Presently, the clinic is pressuring me to spend more and more money, and is delaying the treatment I've already paid for pending my acquiescence to more expenditures. Update | 9:02 PM $2,700 later, Scratchen still lives, in spite of the treating veterinarian's recommendation that I "put her to sleep." When I visited her tonight, she had regained some awareness, although she saw extremely lethargic... Long couldn...

VIDEO | An exhibition of the comparative qualities between molecules groups by disparate time and space

The following is an addition to my collection of notes describing observations of the differences between cloaked and non-cloaked molecules when they retain enough of their separate qualities to be distinct from each other, but share enough of the similar qualities to be observed simultaneously... Cloaked molecules relative to surrounding molecules not only differ in translucency, but also in their comparative rate of time flow. They are no different fundamentally, but they form a group that limits their interaction with non-cloaked molecules. Molecules can temporarily transition from one group to another without changing into different molecules. Even though they are the same, they look different, just like gas molecules in a light bulb excited by heat from a filament. It's the same gas, whether the bulb is lit up or not; the difference is how that gas reacts under two different circumstances. That's not necessarily the same difference between cloaked and non-cloaked mole...

The Door, The Cross and the Cat (or, "Scratchen gets it")

The following post is about Scratchen, my cat. Before you ask something stupid like, WTF does this have to do with demons?!—like one person in a Facebook group to which I post links to this blog, in fact, did—consider how you'll look to those who made a remedial effort to know WTF where you made none: lazy, pointless, hate-filled and uncompelled by a world-sized factory of motivation. Point being is, read all the posts about Scratchen, and figure it the F out before you open your F mouth, MF. Second point: Scratchen and I are fine, thank you for asking that first, you hateful piece of S... Third point, while I'm on a roll: until your cat  traverses time and space  for you, I'll decide WTF is and WTF isn't. On Friday, October 19th, at 10:30 PM,  Scratchen  was admitted to a local animal hospital with symptoms of congestive heart failure, specifically, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite, severe lethargy and muscle weakness. Although a ...

TECH | Planetary Hour Calculator/Calendar App

I wrote an Objective-C class that calculates the planetary hours for the current day and night based on the location of iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, and adds those as events to the Calendar app on any MacOS or iOS device, as well as an app that displays the current planetary hour via a complication on the face of Apple Watch: The graphic circular and graphic corner complications, displaying the previous, current and upcoming planetary hours on the Apple Watch Series 4 Although the specific intent of the code is to supply a means for developers to add this data to their own apps, I've provided a few sample implementations showing the code at work: My Planetary Hour app for Apple Watch Series 4, as it appears in the Watch app for iOS Here's one for WatchOS: My Planetary Hour app, running in the WatchOS simulator The video below shows an example implementation of calendar events being added for each planetary hour in the Calendar app on iPhone using the class-...

BIBLE | Why God gets me, and why you should, too

The following is my definitive answer to Why all the pics of demons?  It is an explanation for my perplexity at a lack of support, participation and interest one would reasonably expect from having made the world's hidden dangers visible—even without ever having to lift your gaze from your cellphone. Not everybody ignores my posts, and for that I am exceedingly grateful. There are notable exceptions, of course—one such person who makes a point to let me know when he likes something I post, even while others haven't (he doesn't mind standing out at all); In this short note of gratitude I wrote to him yesterday, I'm not only giving praise for his right choice in these wrong times, but am also giving glory to God for making good choices viable for those who make them: “Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?” — ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ I can't think of a better solution to a problem or a better packaging of it...

More intercepted demonic communiqué (or, Thing demons have said behind my back, Part Two)

The first installment of  Intercepted demonic communiqué (or, Things demons have said behind my back) —which, originally, was meant to be the only installment—has been so popular with people and demons when I published it at the beginning of February that I haven't had to intercept a single communique to learn new words and phrases demons and people use in their communication (although, I have been doing that); rather, demons have been handing all kinds of new information to me directly, claiming that it's fun to watch people react to them. My (or should I say, their ) explanations and stories tend to tell readers a lot more about topics I generally don't cover anywhere else on the blog, even though they sometimes still leave a lot unsaid. NOTE | There are lots more words and phrases unique among demons and their people on the Factoids page . I call them, demon idiom . To make this post a bit more interesting, I've included a few more things I've intercepted (...

TECH | Machine learning: Image classifier model automatically, instantly recognizes demons in images

But wisdom is justified of all her children. — Luke 7:35 Anything but another demon pic, every one of my Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Path, LinkedIn and Swarm followers have thought at one point or another–if not outright said. Are you obsessed with demons or something? all have thought—if not outright said. I've always ignored these questions in the past, as they are so stupid to ask, and too stupid to answer; but, if I had answered them, I would have said, I hear ya , and, No , respectively. Ironically, insodoing, I would have begged what I consider to actually be a valid question:  Then, what's the deal? I wouldn't have answered that one, either, though, until I finished that which is presented in this post. The answer would have sounded crazier than taking pictures of violent demons sounds; but, now that I am finished—and alive, thank you very much—I will answer that question: Introducing the world's first and only machine-learning image cla...

Return to Indiana: Restored health, imperiled freedom, peace and quiet

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. — Isaiah 40:31 It was the best of days; it was the worst of days—depending on how you look at it. On one hand, it is clear that my health is on the mend if my leaderboard ranking in three of the Nike Run Club Monthly Challenges, which pits its members against each other in a race to get the most miles in the allotted time, is any indication. As of the time of this writing: In the August Weekly Challenge, I rank #9 out of 49,923 runners world-wide, having in just two days logged 75.43 miles; In the August 100K Challenge, I rank #10 out of 39,879 runners worldwide, having in just two days logged 45.97 miles; In the August 50K Challenge, I rank #8 out of 63,672 runners, worldwide, having logged the same amount of miles as in the August 100K Challenge. I am one of only three Americans placing in the t...

The (Multilingual) Life of a (Monolingual) Demoniac

A few weeks back, I took a pop quiz to test my bilinguality via Busuu , an app for iPhone that purports to teach people new languages and to expand their fluency in foreign languages already known. Demons have periodically taunted me for having once claimed to be bilingual on my résumé, saying that I can't honestly make such a claim after so many years out of practice (I studied German from 6th grade to 9th grade, and from college freshman to college junior, but never again since). So, when I recently saw an ad for the app via a recent Apple WWDC 2018 promotion, I decided for  scheiße und kichert  to settle the argument by testing my skills. I scored a Level 18—about 18 levels higher than any of the demons with which I exchanged loud obscenities as I took the test thought I'd score, and about 10 levels lower than I could have scored were I not shouting,  Fick dich, dämonischer Schmutz , while trying to interpret the words of the German speaker, the part of the tes...
