It seems that as early as 1776, or thereabouts, there was a copper mining operation in Newfoundland that involved subsea mining and, of course, problems with flooding.  You'll find that in the Youtube video, Mining in Pre-Confederation Newfoundland

I just happened to catch bits of another episode of the Oak Island, which I've learned to enjoy as a sitcom and exercise in reality testing.  

There is more than one reason they had to get rid of the archaeologists.  Too much truth can ruin a good story line.

Wish they would carbon date the rebar that was found with all that galleon wood. :)

See how many contradictions you can catch in each episode.  It is a bit like finding all the hidden Mickeys at Disneyworld.  Should start a list, but it would be way to long.

The information age has turned into a misinformation age, and despite the Biblical warning to not be deceived, the internet has become a virtual Tower of Babel. The chaos and confusion separates people and is being used as a tool to destroy democracy.  

For those who prefer a tried-and-true method for separating reality from delusion, below is some rare actual science on the Covid lockdowns that have affected so many.

It is a meta-analysis conducted by the John Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise.  The title is A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality, by Jonas Herby, Lars Jonung, and Steve H. Hanke.  

The meta-analysis involved "a systematic search and screening procedure in which 18,590 studies are identified that could potentially address the belief posed. After three levels of screening, 34 studies ultimately qualified. Of those 34 eligible studies, 24 qualified for inclusion in the meta-analysis. They were separated into three groups: lockdown stringency index studies, shelter-in-place order (SIPO) studies, and specific NPI studies."

Detailed information on each of the 24 qualified studies is included in the report, but the bottom line reported in the study is this: "While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted. In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument."

Now I'd love to see similar studies on some of the other approaches to Covid.  Trouble is that most of the so-called data is badly flawed.

That is disappointing.  There is a considerable decrease in the predicted surf for the next several days.

The tides are getting bigger.  It is good when the tides are big along with the surf.  They can work together.  A big surf isn't nearly as effective when the tides are small.

Happy hunting nonetheless,
