Got To Believe In Love

There's a place in Jerusalem, Israel where all different regions are allowed to pray among a limestone wall, none of that we're right and you're wrong, everyone has different beliefs and religions as for me I also say no one is righter than the other.I might say if the religion is different than mine "I have my own beliefs, but I will still respect and appreciate your peaceful religion" 

Most religious have teachings of hell, but they may be using that as a scare tatic so  people would do the churches' bidding, or stories such as Job that you get twice of much if you give at least 10% of your income; Or they might say for example the Greek symbol for medicine is from the devil and doctors work for the devil. What they're trying to do is to take money from the doctors and have it spent on faith healers and to me  all  the faith healers are phony.

Remember Jim Jones telling people in order to go to heaven drink poisoned lemonade, please be careful of what religion you pick. There were at least four tv faith healers that had their churches and tv shows shut down because of phony faith healers,yes if you know  preachers like that report them.By the way if a person believes in doctors or not, the state can force you or/and kids to see a doctor regardless of your religion,especially in this time with the coronavirus. crisis.

Make sure your region is about love and not about hate or downgrading everything in sight or asking for money 15+ times in one sermon. If you see a lez person or gay person or anyone else from LGBTQIA remember they are still humans and as such they still need to be loved and respected. This includes different races,and their languages as well...Yes there are religions saying if you can talk in other languages,it's from the devil. That is so stupid! I don't believe in devils and demons; After all this is the 21st century.

Fun With The Commodore 64

The commodore 64 is an old 1980's computer that allow one to write their own programs using the basic language or to store information for example like recipes, It is still a useful computer.

The commodore 64 uses 5 1/4 inch floppies in their disk drive, but first the disk had to be formatted using this command, by typing
             1,8,1,"N: Your program name, 1a": CLOSE 1
 The first "1" is the file number,the number 8 is the device number which in this case means disk drive, and the final number one means to write.The 1a is the ID number and it can be any  two characters you choose. Once the command is typed  press RETURN, the disk drive will start rattling ,it's normal, after about 1 1/2 minutes your disk has been formatted and ready to use.

Now you can start writing your program
to save the program(s) type include the quotes: 
SAVE "MY PROGRAM",8 then press RETURN;
            (comma before the 8) 
 To load your saved program type:
 LOAD"MY PROGRAM",8 press RETURN.
To write protect a disk simply put tape around the slot on the left side.Even electrical tape will do.

This command LOAD"$",8:LIST, will list all the programs  on a disk, The dollar sign in computer language is called a string

The above will work only if the computer is using the basic language, but there is also a machine language ,use mostly for video games  Most of the time you can just insert a game disk and it will load automatically , you may have to wait 3 to 5 minutes before it's fully loaded,Machine language is 30 times faster than the basic language and it's the inner most workings of the machine.

There are times when a game disk has two games but there is no way to get to the menu, so we can use these commands.

         LOAD "1",8,1 to load first game (or file) on disk.

         LOAD "2",8,1 to load second game (or file) on disk.
Again, 8 is the device number, the number one after the eight means machine language

Commodore game disks has all sorts of games like Pac-Man,Chess,Car racing etc. and each of those games can be copied to another disk using coping software.A person can at that time buy joy sticks for the machine.

Remember floppy disks are actually flat recording tape meaning that they have to stay away from magnetic fields. As for modern CDs and DVDs they're nothing but plastic. (end)

Earth, Sandwiches,Fractions,etc. How Big is Big?

You order a one- third-pounder hamburger or veggie burger because it is bigger than a one-forth pounder but how much bigger is it really?

Fractions: (1/3)-(1/4) = (4/12)-(3/12)= difference of (1/12)

Not much difference, but the above... amounts to 1 and 1/3 ounces, or 2 tablespoons and a pinch more.Yes, there are two level tablespoons in a ounce.

                        Decimals: (.33 - .25)=.08
                   Percentages: (.08/100) or .0008%
So percentage wise we are not  getting  much more, ordering a one-third pounder.
                                    The Earth
Some say the earth is covered by 75% (3/4) of water others say that the earth is covered by 67% (2/3) of water let's find the difference between those two. 

Fractions:      (3/4)-(2/3)=(9/12)-(8/12)= total  again (1/12)

Decimals:       (.75 - .67)=.08

Percentages:  (.08/100) or again .0008%  

But unlike our sandwiches, the volume of the earth is a big deal, even at .0008 % it is still a big chunk of the earth.
The earth has a volume of 650 billion cubit miles .0008% of that is 52 billion cubit miles.   

In kilometers the earth's volume is 1 trillion* cubit kilometers and .0008 % of that is: 80,000,000,000 cubit kilometers.At present tough they say the earth is covered by 71% of water.

*A trillion is a number followed by twelve zeroes in both the United States and the United Kingdom. (end)

That Sunday;That Spring

  Usually, when I fall down, on the floor, I can sometimes roll to my side, and lift myself up; But not this time, I had to use my life aler...
