Yes, I saw it some time ago. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. A lot of in-jokes regarding Russian and US politics.

Thanks for looking, I too played with Mg and many other things now known to be harmful to our health as a young dumb kid. My only known lasting effect of a misspent youth is significant hearing loss, firecrackers and other things that go BANG, no hearing protection.
A high pitched whistle and a low rumble that does not go away. Could you speak a little louder please? Cliff

I'm shouting...Are you talking Magnesium (Mg) or mercury (Hg)?

You wouldn't happen to have any images, good, bad or indifferent that you could share from your first cobbled together digital camera? Thanks
The camera was hard wired to my computer. I don't remember if I saved any images and I no longer have that computer. The sensor, by the way, came from a toy digital camera that belonged to my 5 year old son, with his permission. I was limited to table-top subjects and the images were OK. And I forgot to mention that I was 12 when I bought the film camera I described.

My very first film camera was an FDeckel f 2.9 made in Munich, Germany in the 30's. Bought it about 1946. It used 127 film, half frame. My very first digital camera was homemade from salvaged parts. The lens was from a Bell & Howell movie camera.

In the US the CDC (a medical dept. of the govt.) has already stated categorically two things...
1.) The vaccines do not prevent the recipient from contracting Covid.
2.) The vaccines do not stop the recipient from transmitting Covid to others.
So the question is...why do we care if others are not vaccinated...it does nothing to protect others...just the folks who get the vaccine...and only if they contract Covid.

Vaccines keep you from dying, that's all.

As the technical advisor on the movie E.T., I had to talk Steven Spielberg out of using a device for analyzing results from a Wilson Cloud Chamber for the medical scene. A cloud chamber is used for studying subatomic particles, having nothing to do with E.T.'s illness. Unfortunately many directors don't hire technical advisors, giving us things to chuckle over.

Could the effect be caused by refraction due to hot air rising from the power station?

What kind of film did it use? No clue from looking at its back.

AND don't forget the "covid vaccines" are not true vaccines and have had very little testing, let alone knowing what long term effects there will be.
You are using a 19th century definition of vaccine that includes an antigen in the vaccine. In the present models, the vaccines contain a stimulant (like mRNA) that causes the body to make the antigens.
It's true due to the urgency limited testing was carried out, but now over 100 million doses have been tested.

The hydrogen peroxide solution is very low …. Like .03% and used in a nebulizer. It has showed success. Hard to argue with success.
Success for what?

All organisms, including viruses, naturally mutate during the course of their growth. In the case of viruses, the more hosts that are infected, the more opportunities for mutations to occur. It's like feeding 100 slot machines at one time instead of one. That's why it's so important to prevent as many infections as possible with immunizations and wearing masks. Ignoring these preventions or spreading anti-vax and anti mask messages only encourages more mutations to occur and the greater chance that a more virulent strain will eventually emerge.
