OVER TWO HOURS A DAY

 Ever wondered how much time we are wasting on social media? This is a pretty good summary page - https://www.demandsage.com/average-time-spent-on-social.../

The average amount of time per person in New Zealand is 2 hours 4 mins each day - we are ranked #8= in the world for this achievement - WTF?...

 

SIFT ARCHIVE PAGE

Being a bit of a completionist, for some reason I wanted to copy the content from my original Sift Blogger blog from over a decade ago, and add it all as a single page to this blog. Some of it still amuses me and this entire blog is primarily for my own amusement so why not? The all old SIFT archive page.

 

Somewhere around 2009 to 2013 I used to have a blog on Blogger. That blog was the inspiration for this new 2024 version. I'm not certain what the exact time span of the original was because the dates on the posts all seem to have disappeared. The most recent post was about the abomination that was Windows 8 and that came out in 2013 so I guessed the date from that.

 

Around that time I was posting on quite a few platforms and Blogger was certainly not my number one daily driver. I just used to do some occasional short posts on it. Apart from one post when I first set up this new blog in 2023 I never posted on that old blog after 2013, so after a decade away I was actually quite surprised that Google hadn't deleted it all. 

 

 

 

But some of the content certainly doesn't amuse Google's AI, so this is not quite all of it, only what Google will let me re-post. Back in the old days internet censorship wasn't as full on and the old blog seems to still be all online here.

NZ IS CUTTING EDGE

No country in Europe is still poisoning it's citizens with fluoride.

 

 

Fluoridation has been rejected in just about every country in the world. Yet, here we are in New Zealand, the globalist "government" is extending fluoridation across the entire country.

 

No country in continental Europe has fluoridation. Some countries in Europe did start fluoridation many years ago but have all since stopped. The last place to stop was the Basque region in Spain.

 

The UK (10%) and Ireland (70%) are the only European countries that still fluoridate. Only eight, out of a total of 197, countries in the world have more than 50% of the population on fluoridated water.

 

Back in 2014, Fluoride Free New Zealand aired an advert on TV3 to present this information. The 30 second advert provided some of the reasons these countries have rejected fluoridation. https://youtube.com/watch?v=-F-0XoG4EzY

GIMP 3 HAS FINALLY BEEN RELEASED

This has been a long time coming, as GIMP 2 was released in 2004. The new version of GIMP looks really good. Here is a screen shot of it installed on my Linux Mint PC:

This webpage covers all the new updates. They seem have stayed fully focused on improving the features, and unlike Firefox or Jaguar they have not fallen into the fashionable cesspit of trying to go woke or reinvent themselves. Which is great to see.  https://www.gimp.org/news/2024/11/06/gimp-3-0-RC1-released/

 

 

GIMP is not only for Linux, there are Windows and Mac versions as well. So you don't have to pay Adobe a huge monthly fee and let them steal your images. You can use GIMP for free, instead of paying for Photoshop. The initial release of GIMP 3 is available for download here:  https://www.gimp.org/downloads/devel/
