By the way people are too sensitive to mocking. Though we all prefer not to be mocked, I, unlike a fortune 500 co, have no problem running Lighthouse Puppy 4.1.2rc1 (right before the hijacking started) as my top choice of linux distros even today. It would be nice to have a cool name for it instead of puppy, but that very uncool self mocking name is what allowed it to escape attention so long and become so good, before it came under assault. It's like my main religion, Roman Catholic Christianity is a mocking religion itself, where you get to celebrate the greatness of a different people and their God, with whom Jehovah made a covenant, and who maintain a distinct religion for themselves from the one they give me, and their religion, unlike Islam, does not teach them to hold the other cheek, nor are they born in original sin, guilty before proven innocent by simply entering existence into this world, unlike Christians. Sarah McLachlan has a song titled we are born innocent, maybe she's Jewish, but my religion teaches me differently, because I'm mainly a Roman Catholic Christian. And when the muslims come over from Turkey, and tell me about Islam, how it allows many wives, you get a single easy to comprehend God instead of dealing with the issues of Holy Trinity, how God can be a human and die on the cross, how his mother was a virgin, and Joseph, while with her for years, engaged, never hit that bootay, and when she got pregnant he believed it was from an angel, I'm like year right, and so go most Chinese or or Japanese or sane people around the world, how in Islam I does not teach you to hold the other cheek, which is why Malcolm X was muslim, but most black people are Southern Baptist Christian, (because they think it was Christianity that let white people become so technologically advanced, because they are not born smarter, in general, which may have an element of truth, that science advanced so fast simply to get back at Christianity's mocking, in a cool way, as opposed to the uncool way of what I'm doing now, by crying a river and bitching and moaning about it instead) etc, etc, so I learned, Eastern religion style (hindu and taoist and buddhist) that everything has many aspects to it, and you should not reject something like uselessd or puppy linux simply because it has a mocking name. In fact if on technical merits it proves itself, I'd have absolutely no problem with using uselessd, just like I have no problem being mainly Catholic, which is better than not being Catholic at all, or having no religion at all, or being only Buddhist, taoist and Hindu. When the muslim turks promote their religion I tell them that I like Christianity, because I'm used to it, and what they offer does not show enough improvement to warrant upsetting the ways I'm used to, even if it's progress. I'm used to baby Jesus, the Virgin Mary (that Zrinski prayed to before his final charge), to Jesus suffering, to the idea of carrying a cross through life, the Holy Spirit, and I don't have a problem with monogamy as standard, as opposed to paternalistic many wives, but not many husbands, as it prevails in the muslim world or even in Subsaharan Africa, because I like to treat my women, or even my pets more equally to myself and respected than them. However if she has no problem with sharing me with other girls, as most women are lesbians too anyway, it's okay, but that's usually about sex, getting off, and not about managing a household or raising children, though even there there are relationships where the women are not too territorial and there is a triple household of two women each having equal number of kids by the same husband, or something really complicated like that, which is why muslim or African polygamy is very complicated, and it's easy to descend into can't work your marriage out feuding relationships and a failure even between two monogamous people, let alone where there is a trio, and it's impossible to treat both women equally, and the grudge and political issues that brings about. So the muslim opress their women and many
uselessd is just another mocking name like gnu, gnome, gimp, viewnior, or in puppy linux, which is quite decent and ignorable based on name, then after hijacked now you have lupu, slacko, wary, quirky - do you want to run an operating system named quirky on your fortune 500 servers? - then for slashdot replacement soylentnews (sounding like a mock on silent news, which is like secret, hiding, or unimportat), pipedot (as in what kind of pipe are you smoking), etc. Come on, Slashdot is just such a cool name, and even init and systemd are decent names, but uselessd is a mock. What's in a name, a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet? said Shakespeare. Sometimes even Shakespeare can be wrong, because a rose should not be called angel piss or fairy poop, and managers at fortune 500 cos won't let you run a system named quirky to handle their data. Simple facts of life.
So that 24.36 MJ/kg BeO chemical energy density for fuel/oxidizer mixes is the maximum possible, and there is a big gap between it and nuclear materials. You can't really run a nuclear power plant on a rocket to get lift, it's too heavy, too complicated, and unlike in a submarine or navy ship, where infinite cooling capacity is available from seawater, once you go into thin air and vacuum conventional nuclear power plants become terribly inefficient because of the high heat rejection temperature through thermal radiation into outer space vacuum on the order of 600C-1000C red heat-yellow heat - white heat, and to get any kind of heat engine Carnot cycle efficiency, you have to go much above that temperature, and then you're limited by material constraints on thermal and mechanical strength resistance, to where almost nothing is available above 2000C (except electric arc furnace type technologies) and even then the Carnot cycle efficiency numbers are dismal, and even if the nuclear fuel is very energy dense, to get good rate of power out of it you need quite a bit of fuel together at a time, and the radiating cooling systems are heavy, and on top of it comes the mass of material you're gonna use to eject to get impulse, that needs to be carried along then discarded, and you run out of it eventually.
So is there any other way of getting MJ/kg above that 24 for rocket fuel, say 100 MJ/kg, that can function in vacuum or absence of atmospheric oxygen, other than diluting down the high values of nuclear materials? There might be. They used to talk about space solar power arrays beaming down their collected energy through microwave antennas to ground stations, and I think Simcity 9000 or whatever version has a disaster where that beam gets misaligned and fries the city blocks with microwave heat that it's directed at as it gets misaligned. But that can be a source of external power to a rocket, like solar panels can be once you reach LEO, low Earth orbit. The issue becomes the throughput of gigawatts or petawatts of energy or whatever a rocket is burning, if that's possible to capture with microwave antennas, and then also how to keep the antennas focused right on the target 100 km up in the sky. If you ever watch the Challenger disaster video of the Space Shuttles, you can see that even the video cameras have a hard time focusing on the image far up in the sky, then the image is very tiny, plus there is atmospheric haze and optical fluctuation, like you can see mirage and even fata morgana over very hot asphalt. But in theory you could beat the maximum chemical energy densities available, hopefully getting cheaper shipping to low earth orbit through it. Another option may sound like a tethered fat piece of copper cable that delivers electricity, but that would be prohibitively heavy, especially the higher you go in altitude, compared to a weightless microwave energy transmission link. Also the cable strength itself is an issue, as they used to have discussions about space elevators, and a single crystal or continuous strand carbon nanotube might have the strength for it, so even if you had a nano tube cable of good tensile strength that conducted electricity through embedded potassium ions in it, it might be prohibitively heavy anyway. That makes me thing of a skinny nano tube spider silk, that kind of guides petawatts of electric, obviously as a lightning strike along its surface, and fries up and vaporizes through it, but there may be a way to have plasma, or a lightning strike conduct the power, and that should work both through the atmosphere or in vacuum, just like very long mercury vapor lamps work, conducting electric through a vacuum gas, though plasma control for a length of 100 km (or 62 miles) and loss of it and the rocket falling out of the sky become an issue.
By the way the idea of a space elevator is unsound. In order to have anything be lifted elevator style, you need a fixed point up in the sky, that maintains altitude and can even pull upwards, and in LEO at 100 km height the roundabout speed
I'm only allowed 2 posts per day because my karma is terrible, so I have to make the most of each post, so here you go:
I've thought about it some more. BeO and LiF combinations give the greatest chemical energy per mass, but they cannot be used as such for propulsion, because all you get is a white hot glowing mass of lava from them, and you have to mix in something that generates a gas, and pneumatic pressure to accelerate the propulsion mass to high velocity, high momentum, high impulse, aka mv, or mass x velocity. Mixing in liquid hydrogen to give that gas is the lightest way to get that pneumatic pressure, but then atomizing and dispersing the reactants into a reaction chamber is like a technical difficulty. At first I was thinking some kind of rotor-stator kitchen blender homogenizer type high shear might be able to mix the vaseline-nanoparticle lithium thermal compound paste into a low viscosity mix that's still sufficiently suspended (liq. hydrogen is very low density, 1/14th of water, and everything dense falls out of it very fast, though, luckily lithium sp.gr. is 0.534 that of water, so you're still talking a scenario 1 to 7, something similar to trying to suspend a metal dust in water, it is possible if the particle size is extremely small and shear rate is very high, also lithium hydride density is near 0.8, even worse than the metal as far as dispersing into liquid hydrogen goes, but more on this later), and can be atomized in a spray nozzle to react with the liquid fluorine or oxygen oxidizer which is also atomized as a spray into the reaction chamber. For a while I as thinking that you might be able to mix the lithium with the liquid fluorine or oxygen at cryogenic temperature in a kitchen-blender rotor stator homogenizer style, without reacting at the cryogenic temperature but that is one very very very dangerous game to play. In fact I was thinking just how much gas do you really need to accelerate your energy-mix to high velocity, after all, the gas part is inert, or even if it's energy generating, it's doing it at a lower weight density than the high energy mix mass density wise, so if it's inert, you lose overall, average energy density, and then it's preferable to get as little of it as just necessary to get the full acceleration. I don't know if a mix ratio of 99% LiF+1% H2 can give enough pneumatic action to accelerate the LiF bulk mass to a high mv (the F being most of the m, H almost insignificant in this scenario, other than being a gas powering a pneumatic action, kind of like how much air weight do you need to propel a pneumatic drill with a flywheel to a high velocity? Not that much, as long as the pressure is high, and you get a long expansion to fully milk that pressure in the tool. Also, I had a better idea - instead of atomizing the lithium nanoparticles, maybe lithium could be vaporized, and combusted like that? Lithium boils at 1342 C, not an impossible, and it becomes liquid at 182 C, that itself could be atomized. Beryllium, boron and aluminum are impossible to boil in rocket with present structural materials, but magnesium, the stuff used in photographic flashers in Charlie Chaplin movies, that goes puff in a big white smoke, is another one that boils even lower than lithium, at 1090C, for very fast reaction rates, while melting at 650C, and it's also cheap compared to lithium. But aluminum, a relatively cheap fuel, can be also melted at 660C, and when it comes to liquid oxygen propulsion, as in, who wants to mess with liquid fluorine?, magnesium is way down on the list with oxygen, compared to lithium and aluminum, and boron, but it's on par or even beats aluminum, and it's better than boron when reacting with fluorine. So aluminum and lithium molten and atomized really look like the ideal fuels to react with benign liquid oxygen, and aluminum is much better on cost, and abundance, but boron is also decent on cost and abundance, however it cannot be molten and atomized like any of the other fuels, so it would really need to be very nanoparticulate and long reaction chamb
Oh, by the way, a correction is needed. I been thinking about this, hydrogen being the most excellent rocket fuel. Hydrogen has a high energy density on it's own, when atmospheric oxygen is plenty, but in a rocket you don't always have time to collect atmospheric oxygen, and outside the atmosphere it's no longer available, also it's almost not available as you go higher and higher in altitudes, where the air gets thinner and thinner. But for the lower portions of traveling through the atmosphere part, a Blackbird-spy-plane like drive based on light liquid hydrogen fuel + atmospheric oxygen might be justifiable, considering the cost of added complexity and weight compared to just a plain and simple less things to go wrong when it's time to switch propulsion methods to internal oxidizer+fuel mixtures. With an internal oxidizer, such as liquid oxygen carried on the space shuttle, at an 8:1 liqO2/liqH2 ratio, (so hydrogen itself a mere 1/9 or 11.1% of the fuel mixture weight) hydrogen ranks fairly low amongst other rocket fuel combinations. The list I posted here long time ago on Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... also http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi..., and as you can see, as a mixture of reducer/oxidizer beryllium oxide tops the chart, followed by lithium fluoride, beryllium fluoride, etc. However these top lowest weight oxides per energy gained are all solid, so cannot be used directly as a rocket fuel, all you get during the reaction is just a white hot glowing mass of incandescent lava, that does not explode or generate pressure or want to create mechanical propulsion to fly anywhere. If you notice water is way down the page, and I put it down as a liquid to get a higher number for it, when it's usually combusted to vapor instead, getting a slightly lower number. Which explains the reason for solid rocket boosters for the space shuttle based on ammonal (aluminum/ammonium nitrate or similar perchlorate mixtures) where the aluminum actually generates the energy, and the mechanical carrier gases of that energy, like the evolved nitrogen and water vapor, do the propulsion. Beryllium is very toxic, as are most fluorides, and boron should not be used too much either, unless you deal with space propulsion, where under battle circumstances, you need top performance for military spaceships, and then beryllium and lithium fluoride emitted into the emptiness of space is of no concern. But I don't know. Maybe emitting magnesium fluoride or especially lithium fluoride might be tolerable, so a mix of liquid fluorine + oxygen at the right proportions with cryogenic nanoparticle lithium or lithium hydride (which loses some energy compared to bare metallic lithium) plus liquid hydrogen mixtures might be most efficient, where the lithium selectively seeks out the fluoride, and the hydrogen the oxide, the lithium being the major energy generator, and the hydrogen the major mechanical pressure propulsion generator. The maximum pressure is limited to the boiling point of lithium fluoride, which I'm lazy to look up now, but if it's over 2000C, thats a place where water naturally decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen, and no free energy gain from the reaction with oxygen can be obtained, which is why ammonal, where the nitrogen gas evolved can be heated to any desired temperature almost because of the strength of the nitrogen bond, might be better. But in fact, given enough energy by the aluminum, you don't really care if you're above 2000C, and the water is decomposed to even higher pressure gases of hydrogen and oxygen, getting you even more propulsion. So in effect, hydrogen itself as the propulsion gas may be most efficient, by weight, running off of the heat of beryllium oxide, or lithium fluoride, if you could design such a rocket engine able to combust it. Or even magnesium + liquid fluorine + liquid hydrogen, in a t
Being a Jew is not about having semitic genes, though it usually originates as an intermarriage. It's about being in the gang. Jews will seek out to blend with people that are "good", "healthy", even if they look different. Especially, they like to keep every single one of their members married and reproduced, but the ones that are, say, "weaker", with say really skinny legs, hereditary diseases that require constant medication, etc, they are the most likely candidates for an interracial or outside of gang marriage, to someone with good muscles, good immune system, no hereditary diseases, and even good intelligence - though that's really hard to measure sometimes -, to improve bloodlines, so to speak, like horses are bred or like any other farm animal, they breed themselves, to where you get semitic Jews that look aryan Greek, or black African, and recently, a really difficult quest, to look asian. Jews are present in every population and control the world, and without them you get issues like you did with the Roman Empire. The citizen's of Rome's main daily preoccupation was the gladiator and lion fights at the Colosseum, like people talk sports today, and they were often very cruel to the people they conquered, which is true of almost anyone who gains power - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S... the Stanford prison experiment, that inevitably affects any human being, and it needs active training against, - true they had excellent engineers that built roads, aqueducts, and officials that controlled foreign policy of cities and states they conquered without getting much involved in the internal affairs of the people, in a Pontius Pilate style, give the people what they want, even to the point of failing to defend an innocent man within themselves, Jesus, and being under Roman protectorate also meant safety as nobody dare attack you compared to feuding cities and states before. However it leads to issues where perversions that did interfere with essential, core internal issues of a people, such as mandatory introduction of the statue of Caligula the Caesar as a God to be worshiped in all the polytheistic temples around the empire, including the monotheistic temple of Jerusalem, which of course was something that could not be tolerated. The Romans also had a lot of maffiozo gansta style murders in their senate and their leadership, even during the democracy before crossing of the Rubicon and the first Caesar, Augustus. Often these murdered senators would be left on the steps of the public buildings, for weeks, and rotting, and would not be properly buried. What kind of people don't bury their dead? Even the Native Americans take special care of such things, but maybe not their enemies' bodies. So after the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem by the Romans, the ruins of which are still used as the most important prayer site in Jerusalem, the Jews sort of conquered Rome through Pope Leo that talked Attila out of sacking Rome, and created the Vatican there, and cathedrals to the Jewish one and only God, and have maintained control, so to speak, or much of the European world, except some aberrations here and there, such as Karl Wojtila's, (aka. John Paul the 2nd.) open field Sunday masses in the first metropolis the commies built purposely without a church. That got him to be the first non French or Italian pope ever, Italian popes being exclusive for like the last 500 years before him. Since him being a Polish pope, we had a German Pope, Benedict, and now an Argentinian one, Francis, though they are all Eurasian descent, and then you can debate the degree of European, middle eastern and even far eastern in their genetic makeup. As Europe used to dominate the world, including India and China through colonies and trade, world control was simple, but these days it's becoming difficult with China being the most populous country with the highest GDP, and even India rising, and neither follows Abrahamic Monotheisms, though India suffered greatly, so to
It's like this: what's more important to the government? Me staying alive, or cutting the grass on my lot. Cut my grass, and draft my bank account into the minus, where it has never been before, with your forced automated payments. I will make that to be the last charge against it before I die. Suicide verbal terrorist. I'm not gonna hurt nobody else. But the government gets to choose.
It's like things got way out of hand to force me on welfare - forced infections, gassing to sleep, x-ray radiaton from the neighbors, so you can't do a job, and your only option is either welfare or death. Fuck all you.
I'm an activist these days. Defender of wildlife. Bugs, butterflies. Google image search beautiful butterfly to see what I'm talking about. When was it the last time you saw one around your home? I could only see 4 friggin butterflies in entire Lakewood. That's sad, but I understand the congestion requires much lawn mowing, and does not allow much wilderness jungle to be present. But even there some people do find a way to create a jungle with flowers.
I stick up against lawn mowing. I especially stick up against the government doing it on my lot, and charging me for it. That's bullshit. I want to create a wildlife sanctuary, with whatever weeds show up, with whatever bugs show up, and whatever other animals. When you mow it to 1 inch long, it's a green desert. Uniform, lacks genetic variability. It only supports a few kinds of bugs, like crickets and grasshoppers, that chirp under the cover of darkness when they are safe from bird hearing and vision threats, but even they hate their grass cut so low. Also global warming is enhanced by simply not allowing a thick vegetation as a carbon store where ever people proliferate. Excessive lawn mowing, short grass is a killer of our planet. I mean I understand you like to mow the lawn right near the house, to keep it kinda safe from snakes, wolves, bears, lynx/bobcats, whatever might hide in thick grass, but you don't have to mow the whole fucking lot. And on a lot without a house there is no point to mow at all. I'd like to have animals like snakes, birds, possums nest and hide in a thick grass on my lot, which is not possible when it constantly gets attacked by the government, and a humongous fee put on my tax bill over it. Fuck the government. I could give that money to church, but they are robbing me from it with their idiotic bullshit attacks against my private property. It needs to be kept in order. I think when it has wildlife on it, it's kept in order. In effect I'm more pissed at them mowing it than demolishing my house on it, over building code violations, because there is no way you can tell me you can find anything wrong with wilderness and nature. Your arguments are all unsound, based on beauty. I could agree to go and pick up trash that people litter every two weeks or so, to keep it in order, but not cut the wilderness down on it. Especially the 1 inch grass leaves no room for most flowering plants. A whole lot of ecosystem and genetic variability depends on flowers.
I owe it to all the grasshoppers I killed back in the day while mountain fishing. I mean I could have used bread, but every time I did, it would either fall off the hook, or the well fed fish simply ignore it, but they still would jump out of the water after a dragonfly that decided to take a drink. That's how I came up with the idea of bugs. Plus we did not have that much bread or other food to throw around, so you had to find something in nature, in your environment, that fish would bite for. What do fish eat? Worms? I always hated putting a worm on the hook, it looks like meat, like flesh, and it obviously hates being put on the hook, it wraps around your fingers, plus it lets out some oozy substance as a defense, and there is something genetic telling me not to touch slime like that too much. Comparatively, a grasshopper looks like a metal robot, with sensors and a computer, that does not have feelings, does not look like meat or flesh, and it oozes some kind of nonslimy, crystal clear green liquid when put on the hook. And there is a million of them around, in the knee high or waist high grass, kinda like the biblical locust plague sent on the Pharaoh by Moses, during the Exodus (see http://www.topical-bible-studi...). There is a million of them around and they are easy to catch and keep in a large matchbox with holes for air, you don't have to dig for them like you do for earthworms, nor lift all kinds of river rocks for sand crusted white larvae of who knows what creature, to see if you can find any. I know it's not a
By the way, females alone without males, without the fast mutation and genetic adaptation brought on by sexual reproduction and various gene combinations are doomed as a species, to extinction disease plagues, similar to a banana which lack a sex life, and it's terribly vulnerable to extinction. Google sex life of banana, or http://www.damninteresting.com...
Btw, I cannot post on here much under my user name anymore, because I got assaulted from excellent or good karma to bad and terrible within 2 days. See http://i.imgur.com/9DX8mI8.jpg. But I do post as Anonymous Coward, and sign it at the end with this user ID.
Here at least We shall be free Whom thunder hath made greater? Here at least We shall be free; the Almighty hath not built Here for his envy, will not drive us hence: Here we may reign secure; and, in my choice, To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell: Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.
That's like nonsense, gibberish, but for a genetically "queen" being, the concept of "serve" others instead of reigning over others yourself, may indeed be strange. After all, that's like cuckolds in porn, go ahead please, let me be second, and disappear. It's complicated. You can have brotherly love between men, not gay, or homosexual, just love where they push each other forward. But then again, the ones that sort of "cheat the system" and assert themselves at the expense of others, in such a social environment, will proliferate. Kinda like people having a ton of kids on welfare, they don't serve others, they serve themselves first and foremost. Ultimately, the breeding capacity of any healthy life form is infinite, and only the external world, the external resource constraint is what sets a limit on what an adequate size of population is. For most lifeforms it's a limiting nutrient. With the limit lifted, such as infinite cat food, or phosphate detergents for algae, you get a bloom and inharmonious upset of the ecosystem from a population explosion.
Yeah and the government spends your precious money on welfare for the poor that breed out of control on unlimited food supply, instead of science research. I knew an elderly man, who was over 100 years old, and he was too old to take care of his cats, he fed them food all the time, but too old to clean up after them. On unlimited food he must have ended up with like 200 cats, and cat poop all over the house. Something not right with that picture.
As far as the future goes, space stations are the future, and spaceships. But also the fast breeders, the really perverted can't control themselves fuckers, but they also have to be very intelligent under warfare scenario. You'll might have things like tails for humans again, simply because that retro mutation is gonna be perverse, long tongues like 15 inches sticking out of your mouth, super sexy eyes and lips, and constant fucking. Unfortunately religion is difficult to stick to even for the most religious, and sex dominates the world, because those who fuck all the time, usually have more babies, and drown out in population those who abstain. Everything is gonna degenerate into super cool appearances and fetish. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uaGK... In 3 billion years, Alien is what a human is gonna look like - 6 fingers, long tail, super long brain to pretend she's smart. Maybe males may have been lost under dire circumstances, and female only reproduction takes over, like earthworms can reproduce in absence of a partner. The females are still gonna be insanely horny, and they can get each other off. Under lack of males, and sexual reproduction, the species will no longer be able to adapt to new diseases, and you'll get diseases that eat people, or whatever you wanna call them in 3 billion years, up from the inside out. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Jxym... Air filtration may be mandatory, as in CPAP, for everyone, to keep diseases away, yet everyone will be infected anyway. This of course would not happen if people lived in a sort of natural way, in the jungle, immersed among other life, and naturally selected to resist diseases. That's how you and I are here, a long process of selection. Our immune system can fight off gazillions of viruses and bacteria, or at least keep them in check and make them live in harmony inside you, which, as soon as you die, decompose your body, unless immersed in formalin. Each of those microorganisms living inside you is potentially deadly, but it's not, because you're genetically adapted to dealing with them. Of course such natural selection also means massive die-offs of those unadapted, potentially the loss of the entire species, but as long as a few make it, you have maybe a new species and a new adaptation. For instance a malaria adaptation is sickle cell disease, deformed hemoglobin. But such a cost, risking losing the human species, is too high, therefore technology will be applied, instead of allowing genetics through natural selection, and instead of allowing only the sickle cell diseased ones to make it, and be the only ones in face of malaria, technology will be applied, including drugs, air filtration, sterilization of utensils, and, as an end result, everyone will be genetically weak to properly fight diseases, especially if the males of the species are lost somewhere in time through history, 3 billion years from now, just like how some ants lack males. Ants have a much longer evolution than humans, and, because under warfare scenarios, cooperation is important, and in cooperation, hierarchy, you may end up with massive social structures just like ants and bees do, together with reproductive specialization genetically inscribed into individuals. The Alien queen, with external eggs and genetically engineered ovipositors, may be the future of highly social, warfare tested social structures of what
Because renewable energy lacks a good carrier - such as gasoline, diesel, propane, sugar, fat, li-ion battery. Usually the way they get the energy required to pump oil out of the ground, is by burning some oil to run the equipment, and you talk about the concept of net energy gain. In case it takes 90% of a barrel of oil worth of pumping to squeeze out 100% of one barrel from the ground, your net energy gain is 10%, and it may not be worth it. However, with renewables, which are kinda like free in the desert, and you don't have a good way to transport it away from there, but you can use them exclusively to run your equipment and do the net energy of extraction at 100%.
Renewable energy would be great if you had a good carrier for it. They talk about the hydrogen economy, but it's not gonna fly far. I talk about the ammonia economy - tag the hydrogen onto nitrogen, that's plentiful, easy to come by, unlike the only 0.03% CO2 in the atmosphere, from which to extract the carbon and turn it to hydrocarbon - you have to process a humongous amount of air to get any carbon out of it, that you could turn into hydrocarbons as the renewable energy carrier.
By the way my karma instantly went bad, things that were modded +3 Funny, got modded -1 offtopic or -1 troll, so they only let me post 10 posts per day under this ID, and I'd have to go Anonymous Coward for more. I like to have people that read one of my postings, dig through my other postings too.
It would take me a whole year to just read through them 450,000 patent titles, let alone comprehend their meaning, let alone read their text, let alone comprehend their intent, let alone debate in my mind of the validity of any claims. Anything you do in this world might infringe on someone's patent, in fact they can submarine patents under that flood of patents, it's easy to hide something new that wasn't there before, pretending it was issued years ago, right when you do something brand new that has never been done before, and they wanna come harass you to stop doing it. Even if their patent does not apply, they can take you to court and then it's a game of who's got the deeper pockets to fight a patent battle, not a game of who's right who's wrong. I say fuck patents completely, abolish the patent system, it has degenerated into absolute waste of everybody's time and money. Go back to the nomadic intellectual property ways of 1500, and keep trade secrets if you feel like you need to. Which you can do even today anyway, with patents.
I bought that stupid house at a public auction. It was good enough for me, even if the city thinks it's not appropriate for me, and knocked it down for me, it did not live up to their standards of luxury. If anybody had a problem with me buying it at too low a price, they were welcome to show up at the auction and pay more, but other than that I care not about level of luxury as long as it's a roof over my head that keeps the rain out, and my most important luxury item is keeping my own bank account balance above zero, unlike the government that has run rampant with destruction, dragging other people into debt by charging them for that destruction, and unable to keep their own bank account balance above zero. Fuck the government, take the money from one guy, kill him with it, give it to another welfare recipient to breed out of control and vote you down at elections. Time for some tea bagger party motherfuckers that cut the government cancer out of everyday people's life.
Except I cannot purchase a money order at an ATM, without talking to a teller. And my landlord has the habit of sitting on checks for a whole fucking year, before it hits my bank account, and plays this cat and mouse game or memory, see how much you can remember, what checks you wrote out 6 months ago. So I get a money order, it instantly gets deducted, and I send it off to him in the mail, just like it says in the rental contract, which specifies mailed payments, not paypal or anything like that. And I told him if he don't get the money orders, and fails to inform me, it's on him, I'm not writing them out again for a whole year, unlike when he sits on un-cashed checks, and hammers my account after a year. It also says in the contract I can't touch the furnace, can't modify things in the house, landlord cuts the grass but does not shovel snow, and he has not increased the rent for 7 years, unlike in a lot of other places you move into with yearly leases and yearly increases. He was still happy when I told him the city knocked my junk house down with an excavator, he said it's amazing how quickly they get that stuff done. Yeah, it's fucking amazing how I have to keep paying him rent, it must be very amazing to him.
Obama accomplished something. He got elected as a colored person, and got reelected too. He also brought some troops home. And he cares, true he may care more about blacks than whites and discriminates that way, but in general he cares about everybody, even is he's clumsy in the way he goes about it. It's not easy to do the right thing at the top when you don't know what the right thing is and nobody knows. I mean you may think you know, and even be certain about it, and then you need to review why the Oracle at Delphi told Socrates he was the wisest man alive.
I signed a land purchase contract that explicitly transferred mineral rights, and I did not really care, I mean I do, but what I really needed was a tranquil living space. At the county they hold the documents they don't make public the records, and you have to walk into their office, through a metal detector, and any hard copy or printed proof you want to take away they make you pay for it. It's not possible to research the history of a piece of land without going bankrupt over the fees if the history is littered through and through with documents, going back all the way to the Native Americans. In a lot of countries whoever owns title owns the land, and if they own it by mistake, and someone else should have it, that someone else can get monetary compensation from the government, but they do not reverse title. In the US you buy what's called "Title Insurance" which is a major ripoff, but at least it's a one time fee only for a one time service, that is, someone at the private title insurance agency digs through the land records, and if they don't luck out in finding anything nasty, they will insure the title, as a gamble, on your named amount. There is always a chance that a record was missed, especially when they play hide and seek with you on the computers, so even if you sit at the county office, and thoroughly examine all the records, and even pay the staff there to do the search for you, with consideration, there is a way to submarine a fake, ancient document, from say 1834, that voids the validity of all the rest of the title transfer deeds ever since then, and under this system of land purchases with hide and seek, nonpublic county land records, all you're purchasing is pretty much air. And if you purchase title insurance in a given amount from an insurance corporation, nothing guarantees that that corporation won't take your money, pocket it, then simply go out of business and restart as a new one. Kinda like lifetime dialup ISP's in the 90's were. For $99 one time fee, we give you a lifetime dialup internet acccess. You know how that pyramid scheme works? They take your 99 dollars, give you internet for a couple months, pay the CEO millions in salaries, take up all kinds of business loans from banks, then simply go bankrupt, out of business, and restart a new business. Wash, rinse, repeat, take your money and run with it, is what land title insurance companies are too. So all you're buying when you buy a title to a land is air, hocus pocus. What else can you do though? How can you find yourself a place to live in peace, as the nearest communist public lands, that are nobody's private property, called state parks or natural reservations, maybe half a state across from you, where you can go and just be with any right, other than that everything else is private property, and you don't have the right to be present there, including you don't have the right to sleep in your car at a 24x7 Walmart parking lot, if Walmart says so on a displayed banner right under the parking lot cameras.
And very empty, to where any piece of rock in a low gravity environment, such as the Moon or and asterorid (not so much Jupiter or even Earth that are too deep a gravity wells) is worth blood.
Dude, every single version of windows is built to be a security hole on purpose, just so we can sell you a new version that's "more secure" tomorrow. Upgrade upgrade upgrade. Money makes the world go round. Why would they make a perfect operating system with no security issues? People would never buy it again and again. That'd be like making a car that lasts forever - the car business would be out of work. We gotta make crap on purpose, so we can keep selling it, and keep busy making it. Without a job how are you gonna pay rent? If you make a perfect car that lasts forever, when you're 20, what will you make when you're 50, if nobody buys it, cuz their old car is still good? And then what do you with all your free time? The biggest devastation to the native americans was the Sun Dogs - horses. With horses they could hunt and gather their whole year's worth of food supply in like 3 weeks - something that used to take up all their time before - and had the rest of the 52 weeks to piss around and get bored. What they ended up doing is fighting each other's tribes, like heroes, usually the women drove the men to do it, they always wanted more stuff, wanted what the other tribe had, and the men followed their wishes, or button pushes.
Those names of soylentnews and pipedot are mocking names like gnu, gnome, gimp. Slashdot is at least a cool name, but I guess some think it's time to divide and conquer this group of nerds.
Yeah, what a great replacement for religion - anime, as spiritual food stuff, huh? I wonder if they make zen buddhist anime episodes. I could watch those. Like old folk stories, enacted by anime characters. The adventures of the poor peasant boy leaving the village and going around the world, confronted by ethical issues. Not pussy and cool weaponry, all the fucking time.
Slashdot Mirror
Indubitably. Doubting and criticizing established views and the status quo is everything in science. Without it there is no progress, no innovation.
By the way people are too sensitive to mocking. Though we all prefer not to be mocked, I, unlike a fortune 500 co, have no problem running Lighthouse Puppy 4.1.2rc1 (right before the hijacking started) as my top choice of linux distros even today. It would be nice to have a cool name for it instead of puppy, but that very uncool self mocking name is what allowed it to escape attention so long and become so good, before it came under assault. It's like my main religion, Roman Catholic Christianity is a mocking religion itself, where you get to celebrate the greatness of a different people and their God, with whom Jehovah made a covenant, and who maintain a distinct religion for themselves from the one they give me, and their religion, unlike Islam, does not teach them to hold the other cheek, nor are they born in original sin, guilty before proven innocent by simply entering existence into this world, unlike Christians. Sarah McLachlan has a song titled we are born innocent, maybe she's Jewish, but my religion teaches me differently, because I'm mainly a Roman Catholic Christian. And when the muslims come over from Turkey, and tell me about Islam, how it allows many wives, you get a single easy to comprehend God instead of dealing with the issues of Holy Trinity, how God can be a human and die on the cross, how his mother was a virgin, and Joseph, while with her for years, engaged, never hit that bootay, and when she got pregnant he believed it was from an angel, I'm like year right, and so go most Chinese or or Japanese or sane people around the world, how in Islam I does not teach you to hold the other cheek, which is why Malcolm X was muslim, but most black people are Southern Baptist Christian, (because they think it was Christianity that let white people become so technologically advanced, because they are not born smarter, in general, which may have an element of truth, that science advanced so fast simply to get back at Christianity's mocking, in a cool way, as opposed to the uncool way of what I'm doing now, by crying a river and bitching and moaning about it instead) etc, etc, so I learned, Eastern religion style (hindu and taoist and buddhist) that everything has many aspects to it, and you should not reject something like uselessd or puppy linux simply because it has a mocking name. In fact if on technical merits it proves itself, I'd have absolutely no problem with using uselessd, just like I have no problem being mainly Catholic, which is better than not being Catholic at all, or having no religion at all, or being only Buddhist, taoist and Hindu. When the muslim turks promote their religion I tell them that I like Christianity, because I'm used to it, and what they offer does not show enough improvement to warrant upsetting the ways I'm used to, even if it's progress. I'm used to baby Jesus, the Virgin Mary (that Zrinski prayed to before his final charge), to Jesus suffering, to the idea of carrying a cross through life, the Holy Spirit, and I don't have a problem with monogamy as standard, as opposed to paternalistic many wives, but not many husbands, as it prevails in the muslim world or even in Subsaharan Africa, because I like to treat my women, or even my pets more equally to myself and respected than them. However if she has no problem with sharing me with other girls, as most women are lesbians too anyway, it's okay, but that's usually about sex, getting off, and not about managing a household or raising children, though even there there are relationships where the women are not too territorial and there is a triple household of two women each having equal number of kids by the same husband, or something really complicated like that, which is why muslim or African polygamy is very complicated, and it's easy to descend into can't work your marriage out feuding relationships and a failure even between two monogamous people, let alone where there is a trio, and it's impossible to treat both women equally, and the grudge and political issues that brings about. So the muslim opress their women and many
uselessd is just another mocking name like gnu, gnome, gimp, viewnior, or in puppy linux, which is quite decent and ignorable based on name, then after hijacked now you have lupu, slacko, wary, quirky - do you want to run an operating system named quirky on your fortune 500 servers? - then for slashdot replacement soylentnews (sounding like a mock on silent news, which is like secret, hiding, or unimportat), pipedot (as in what kind of pipe are you smoking), etc. Come on, Slashdot is just such a cool name, and even init and systemd are decent names, but uselessd is a mock. What's in a name, a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet? said Shakespeare. Sometimes even Shakespeare can be wrong, because a rose should not be called angel piss or fairy poop, and managers at fortune 500 cos won't let you run a system named quirky to handle their data. Simple facts of life.
So that 24.36 MJ/kg BeO chemical energy density for fuel/oxidizer mixes is the maximum possible, and there is a big gap between it and nuclear materials. You can't really run a nuclear power plant on a rocket to get lift, it's too heavy, too complicated, and unlike in a submarine or navy ship, where infinite cooling capacity is available from seawater, once you go into thin air and vacuum conventional nuclear power plants become terribly inefficient because of the high heat rejection temperature through thermal radiation into outer space vacuum on the order of 600C-1000C red heat-yellow heat - white heat, and to get any kind of heat engine Carnot cycle efficiency, you have to go much above that temperature, and then you're limited by material constraints on thermal and mechanical strength resistance, to where almost nothing is available above 2000C (except electric arc furnace type technologies) and even then the Carnot cycle efficiency numbers are dismal, and even if the nuclear fuel is very energy dense, to get good rate of power out of it you need quite a bit of fuel together at a time, and the radiating cooling systems are heavy, and on top of it comes the mass of material you're gonna use to eject to get impulse, that needs to be carried along then discarded, and you run out of it eventually.
So is there any other way of getting MJ/kg above that 24 for rocket fuel, say 100 MJ/kg, that can function in vacuum or absence of atmospheric oxygen, other than diluting down the high values of nuclear materials? There might be. They used to talk about space solar power arrays beaming down their collected energy through microwave antennas to ground stations, and I think Simcity 9000 or whatever version has a disaster where that beam gets misaligned and fries the city blocks with microwave heat that it's directed at as it gets misaligned. But that can be a source of external power to a rocket, like solar panels can be once you reach LEO, low Earth orbit. The issue becomes the throughput of gigawatts or petawatts of energy or whatever a rocket is burning, if that's possible to capture with microwave antennas, and then also how to keep the antennas focused right on the target 100 km up in the sky. If you ever watch the Challenger disaster video of the Space Shuttles, you can see that even the video cameras have a hard time focusing on the image far up in the sky, then the image is very tiny, plus there is atmospheric haze and optical fluctuation, like you can see mirage and even fata morgana over very hot asphalt. But in theory you could beat the maximum chemical energy densities available, hopefully getting cheaper shipping to low earth orbit through it.
Another option may sound like a tethered fat piece of copper cable that delivers electricity, but that would be prohibitively heavy, especially the higher you go in altitude, compared to a weightless microwave energy transmission link. Also the cable strength itself is an issue, as they used to have discussions about space elevators, and a single crystal or continuous strand carbon nanotube might have the strength for it, so even if you had a nano tube cable of good tensile strength that conducted electricity through embedded potassium ions in it, it might be prohibitively heavy anyway. That makes me thing of a skinny nano tube spider silk, that kind of guides petawatts of electric, obviously as a lightning strike along its surface, and fries up and vaporizes through it, but there may be a way to have plasma, or a lightning strike conduct the power, and that should work both through the atmosphere or in vacuum, just like very long mercury vapor lamps work, conducting electric through a vacuum gas, though plasma control for a length of 100 km (or 62 miles) and loss of it and the rocket falling out of the sky become an issue.
By the way the idea of a space elevator is unsound. In order to have anything be lifted elevator style, you need a fixed point up in the sky, that maintains altitude and can even pull upwards, and in LEO at 100 km height the roundabout speed
I'm only allowed 2 posts per day because my karma is terrible, so I have to make the most of each post, so here you go:
I've thought about it some more. BeO and LiF combinations give the greatest chemical energy per mass, but they cannot be used as such for propulsion, because all you get is a white hot glowing mass of lava from them, and you have to mix in something that generates a gas, and pneumatic pressure to accelerate the propulsion mass to high velocity, high momentum, high impulse, aka mv, or mass x velocity. Mixing in liquid hydrogen to give that gas is the lightest way to get that pneumatic pressure, but then atomizing and dispersing the reactants into a reaction chamber is like a technical difficulty. At first I was thinking some kind of rotor-stator kitchen blender homogenizer type high shear might be able to mix the vaseline-nanoparticle lithium thermal compound paste into a low viscosity mix that's still sufficiently suspended (liq. hydrogen is very low density, 1/14th of water, and everything dense falls out of it very fast, though, luckily lithium sp.gr. is 0.534 that of water, so you're still talking a scenario 1 to 7, something similar to trying to suspend a metal dust in water, it is possible if the particle size is extremely small and shear rate is very high, also lithium hydride density is near 0.8, even worse than the metal as far as dispersing into liquid hydrogen goes, but more on this later), and can be atomized in a spray nozzle to react with the liquid fluorine or oxygen oxidizer which is also atomized as a spray into the reaction chamber. For a while I as thinking that you might be able to mix the lithium with the liquid fluorine or oxygen at cryogenic temperature in a kitchen-blender rotor stator homogenizer style, without reacting at the cryogenic temperature but that is one very very very dangerous game to play. In fact I was thinking just how much gas do you really need to accelerate your energy-mix to high velocity, after all, the gas part is inert, or even if it's energy generating, it's doing it at a lower weight density than the high energy mix mass density wise, so if it's inert, you lose overall, average energy density, and then it's preferable to get as little of it as just necessary to get the full acceleration. I don't know if a mix ratio of 99% LiF+1% H2 can give enough pneumatic action to accelerate the LiF bulk mass to a high mv (the F being most of the m, H almost insignificant in this scenario, other than being a gas powering a pneumatic action, kind of like how much air weight do you need to propel a pneumatic drill with a flywheel to a high velocity? Not that much, as long as the pressure is high, and you get a long expansion to fully milk that pressure in the tool. Also, I had a better idea - instead of atomizing the lithium nanoparticles, maybe lithium could be vaporized, and combusted like that? Lithium boils at 1342 C, not an impossible, and it becomes liquid at 182 C, that itself could be atomized. Beryllium, boron and aluminum are impossible to boil in rocket with present structural materials, but magnesium, the stuff used in photographic flashers in Charlie Chaplin movies, that goes puff in a big white smoke, is another one that boils even lower than lithium, at 1090C, for very fast reaction rates, while melting at 650C, and it's also cheap compared to lithium. But aluminum, a relatively cheap fuel, can be also melted at 660C, and when it comes to liquid oxygen propulsion, as in, who wants to mess with liquid fluorine?, magnesium is way down on the list with oxygen, compared to lithium and aluminum, and boron, but it's on par or even beats aluminum, and it's better than boron when reacting with fluorine. So aluminum and lithium molten and atomized really look like the ideal fuels to react with benign liquid oxygen, and aluminum is much better on cost, and abundance, but boron is also decent on cost and abundance, however it cannot be molten and atomized like any of the other fuels, so it would really need to be very nanoparticulate and long reaction chamb
Oh, by the way, a correction is needed. I been thinking about this, hydrogen being the most excellent rocket fuel. Hydrogen has a high energy density on it's own, when atmospheric oxygen is plenty, but in a rocket you don't always have time to collect atmospheric oxygen, and outside the atmosphere it's no longer available, also it's almost not available as you go higher and higher in altitudes, where the air gets thinner and thinner. But for the lower portions of traveling through the atmosphere part, a Blackbird-spy-plane like drive based on light liquid hydrogen fuel + atmospheric oxygen might be justifiable, considering the cost of added complexity and weight compared to just a plain and simple less things to go wrong when it's time to switch propulsion methods to internal oxidizer+fuel mixtures.
With an internal oxidizer, such as liquid oxygen carried on the space shuttle, at an 8:1 liqO2/liqH2 ratio, (so hydrogen itself a mere 1/9 or 11.1% of the fuel mixture weight) hydrogen ranks fairly low amongst other rocket fuel combinations. The list I posted here long time ago on Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... also http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi..., and as you can see, as a mixture of reducer/oxidizer beryllium oxide tops the chart, followed by lithium fluoride, beryllium fluoride, etc. However these top lowest weight oxides per energy gained are all solid, so cannot be used directly as a rocket fuel, all you get during the reaction is just a white hot glowing mass of incandescent lava, that does not explode or generate pressure or want to create mechanical propulsion to fly anywhere. If you notice water is way down the page, and I put it down as a liquid to get a higher number for it, when it's usually combusted to vapor instead, getting a slightly lower number. Which explains the reason for solid rocket boosters for the space shuttle based on ammonal (aluminum/ammonium nitrate or similar perchlorate mixtures) where the aluminum actually generates the energy, and the mechanical carrier gases of that energy, like the evolved nitrogen and water vapor, do the propulsion. Beryllium is very toxic, as are most fluorides, and boron should not be used too much either, unless you deal with space propulsion, where under battle circumstances, you need top performance for military spaceships, and then beryllium and lithium fluoride emitted into the emptiness of space is of no concern. But I don't know. Maybe emitting magnesium fluoride or especially lithium fluoride might be tolerable, so a mix of liquid fluorine + oxygen at the right proportions with cryogenic nanoparticle lithium or lithium hydride (which loses some energy compared to bare metallic lithium) plus liquid hydrogen mixtures might be most efficient, where the lithium selectively seeks out the fluoride, and the hydrogen the oxide, the lithium being the major energy generator, and the hydrogen the major mechanical pressure propulsion generator. The maximum pressure is limited to the boiling point of lithium fluoride, which I'm lazy to look up now, but if it's over 2000C, thats a place where water naturally decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen, and no free energy gain from the reaction with oxygen can be obtained, which is why ammonal, where the nitrogen gas evolved can be heated to any desired temperature almost because of the strength of the nitrogen bond, might be better. But in fact, given enough energy by the aluminum, you don't really care if you're above 2000C, and the water is decomposed to even higher pressure gases of hydrogen and oxygen, getting you even more propulsion. So in effect, hydrogen itself as the propulsion gas may be most efficient, by weight, running off of the heat of beryllium oxide, or lithium fluoride, if you could design such a rocket engine able to combust it. Or even magnesium + liquid fluorine + liquid hydrogen, in a t
Being a Jew is not about having semitic genes, though it usually originates as an intermarriage. It's about being in the gang.
Jews will seek out to blend with people that are "good", "healthy", even if they look different. Especially, they like to keep every single one of their members married and reproduced, but the ones that are, say, "weaker", with say really skinny legs, hereditary diseases that require constant medication, etc, they are the most likely candidates for an interracial or outside of gang marriage, to someone with good muscles, good immune system, no hereditary diseases, and even good intelligence - though that's really hard to measure sometimes -, to improve bloodlines, so to speak, like horses are bred or like any other farm animal, they breed themselves, to where you get semitic Jews that look aryan Greek, or black African, and recently, a really difficult quest, to look asian. Jews are present in every population and control the world, and without them you get issues like you did with the Roman Empire. The citizen's of Rome's main daily preoccupation was the gladiator and lion fights at the Colosseum, like people talk sports today, and they were often very cruel to the people they conquered, which is true of almost anyone who gains power - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S... the Stanford prison experiment, that inevitably affects any human being, and it needs active training against, - true they had excellent engineers that built roads, aqueducts, and officials that controlled foreign policy of cities and states they conquered without getting much involved in the internal affairs of the people, in a Pontius Pilate style, give the people what they want, even to the point of failing to defend an innocent man within themselves, Jesus, and being under Roman protectorate also meant safety as nobody dare attack you compared to feuding cities and states before. However it leads to issues where perversions that did interfere with essential, core internal issues of a people, such as mandatory introduction of the statue of Caligula the Caesar as a God to be worshiped in all the polytheistic temples around the empire, including the monotheistic temple of Jerusalem, which of course was something that could not be tolerated. The Romans also had a lot of maffiozo gansta style murders in their senate and their leadership, even during the democracy before crossing of the Rubicon and the first Caesar, Augustus. Often these murdered senators would be left on the steps of the public buildings, for weeks, and rotting, and would not be properly buried. What kind of people don't bury their dead? Even the Native Americans take special care of such things, but maybe not their enemies' bodies. So after the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem by the Romans, the ruins of which are still used as the most important prayer site in Jerusalem, the Jews sort of conquered Rome through Pope Leo that talked Attila out of sacking Rome, and created the Vatican there, and cathedrals to the Jewish one and only God, and have maintained control, so to speak, or much of the European world, except some aberrations here and there, such as Karl Wojtila's, (aka. John Paul the 2nd.) open field Sunday masses in the first metropolis the commies built purposely without a church. That got him to be the first non French or Italian pope ever, Italian popes being exclusive for like the last 500 years before him. Since him being a Polish pope, we had a German Pope, Benedict, and now an Argentinian one, Francis, though they are all Eurasian descent, and then you can debate the degree of European, middle eastern and even far eastern in their genetic makeup. As Europe used to dominate the world, including India and China through colonies and trade, world control was simple, but these days it's becoming difficult with China being the most populous country with the highest GDP, and even India rising, and neither follows Abrahamic Monotheisms, though India suffered greatly, so to
It's like this: what's more important to the government? Me staying alive, or cutting the grass on my lot. Cut my grass, and draft my bank account into the minus, where it has never been before, with your forced automated payments. I will make that to be the last charge against it before I die. Suicide verbal terrorist. I'm not gonna hurt nobody else. But the government gets to choose.
It's like things got way out of hand to force me on welfare - forced infections, gassing to sleep, x-ray radiaton from the neighbors, so you can't do a job, and your only option is either welfare or death. Fuck all you.
I'm an activist these days. Defender of wildlife. Bugs, butterflies. Google image search beautiful butterfly to see what I'm talking about. When was it the last time you saw one around your home? I could only see 4 friggin butterflies in entire Lakewood. That's sad, but I understand the congestion requires much lawn mowing, and does not allow much wilderness jungle to be present. But even there some people do find a way to create a jungle with flowers.
I stick up against lawn mowing. I especially stick up against the government doing it on my lot, and charging me for it. That's bullshit. I want to create a wildlife sanctuary, with whatever weeds show up, with whatever bugs show up, and whatever other animals. When you mow it to 1 inch long, it's a green desert. Uniform, lacks genetic variability. It only supports a few kinds of bugs, like crickets and grasshoppers, that chirp under the cover of darkness when they are safe from bird hearing and vision threats, but even they hate their grass cut so low. Also global warming is enhanced by simply not allowing a thick vegetation as a carbon store where ever people proliferate. Excessive lawn mowing, short grass is a killer of our planet. I mean I understand you like to mow the lawn right near the house, to keep it kinda safe from snakes, wolves, bears, lynx/bobcats, whatever might hide in thick grass, but you don't have to mow the whole fucking lot. And on a lot without a house there is no point to mow at all. I'd like to have animals like snakes, birds, possums nest and hide in a thick grass on my lot, which is not possible when it constantly gets attacked by the government, and a humongous fee put on my tax bill over it. Fuck the government. I could give that money to church, but they are robbing me from it with their idiotic bullshit attacks against my private property. It needs to be kept in order. I think when it has wildlife on it, it's kept in order. In effect I'm more pissed at them mowing it than demolishing my house on it, over building code violations, because there is no way you can tell me you can find anything wrong with wilderness and nature. Your arguments are all unsound, based on beauty. I could agree to go and pick up trash that people litter every two weeks or so, to keep it in order, but not cut the wilderness down on it. Especially the 1 inch grass leaves no room for most flowering plants. A whole lot of ecosystem and genetic variability depends on flowers.
I owe it to all the grasshoppers I killed back in the day while mountain fishing. I mean I could have used bread, but every time I did, it would either fall off the hook, or the well fed fish simply ignore it, but they still would jump out of the water after a dragonfly that decided to take a drink. That's how I came up with the idea of bugs. Plus we did not have that much bread or other food to throw around, so you had to find something in nature, in your environment, that fish would bite for. What do fish eat? Worms? I always hated putting a worm on the hook, it looks like meat, like flesh, and it obviously hates being put on the hook, it wraps around your fingers, plus it lets out some oozy substance as a defense, and there is something genetic telling me not to touch slime like that too much. Comparatively, a grasshopper looks like a metal robot, with sensors and a computer, that does not have feelings, does not look like meat or flesh, and it oozes some kind of nonslimy, crystal clear green liquid when put on the hook. And there is a million of them around, in the knee high or waist high grass, kinda like the biblical locust plague sent on the Pharaoh by Moses, during the Exodus (see http://www.topical-bible-studi...). There is a million of them around and they are easy to catch and keep in a large matchbox with holes for air, you don't have to dig for them like you do for earthworms, nor lift all kinds of river rocks for sand crusted white larvae of who knows what creature, to see if you can find any. I know it's not a
By the way, females alone without males, without the fast mutation and genetic adaptation brought on by sexual reproduction and various gene combinations are doomed as a species, to extinction disease plagues, similar to a banana which lack a sex life, and it's terribly vulnerable to extinction.

How about this psycho stuff on that page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
So psycho, and so feminine. She's pissed.
Wow, and I just found this quote on that page:
Here at least We shall be free
Whom thunder hath made greater? Here at least We shall be free; the Almighty hath not built Here for his envy, will not drive us hence: Here we may reign secure; and, in my choice, To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell: Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.
That's like nonsense, gibberish, but for a genetically "queen" being, the concept of "serve" others instead of reigning over others yourself, may indeed be strange. After all, that's like cuckolds in porn, go ahead please, let me be second, and disappear. It's complicated. You can have brotherly love between men, not gay, or homosexual, just love where they push each other forward. But then again, the ones that sort of "cheat the system" and assert themselves at the expense of others, in such a social environment, will proliferate. Kinda like people having a ton of kids on welfare, they don't serve others, they serve themselves first and foremost. Ultimately, the breeding capacity of any healthy life form is infinite, and only the external world, the external resource constraint is what sets a limit on what an adequate size of population is. For most lifeforms it's a limiting nutrient. With the limit lifted, such as infinite cat food, or phosphate detergents for algae, you get a bloom and inharmonious upset of the ecosystem from a population explosion.
Yeah and the government spends your precious money on welfare for the poor that breed out of control on unlimited food supply, instead of science research. I knew an elderly man, who was over 100 years old, and he was too old to take care of his cats, he fed them food all the time, but too old to clean up after them. On unlimited food he must have ended up with like 200 cats, and cat poop all over the house. Something not right with that picture.
As far as the future goes, space stations are the future, and spaceships. But also the fast breeders, the really perverted can't control themselves fuckers, but they also have to be very intelligent under warfare scenario. You'll might have things like tails for humans again, simply because that retro mutation is gonna be perverse, long tongues like 15 inches sticking out of your mouth, super sexy eyes and lips, and constant fucking. Unfortunately religion is difficult to stick to even for the most religious, and sex dominates the world, because those who fuck all the time, usually have more babies, and drown out in population those who abstain. Everything is gonna degenerate into super cool appearances and fetish.

In 3 billion years, Alien is what a human is gonna look like - 6 fingers, long tail, super long brain to pretend she's smart. Maybe males may have been lost under dire circumstances, and female only reproduction takes over, like earthworms can reproduce in absence of a partner. The females are still gonna be insanely horny, and they can get each other off. Under lack of males, and sexual reproduction, the species will no longer be able to adapt to new diseases, and you'll get diseases that eat people, or whatever you wanna call them in 3 billion years, up from the inside out. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Jxym...
Air filtration may be mandatory, as in CPAP, for everyone, to keep diseases away, yet everyone will be infected anyway. This of course would not happen if people lived in a sort of natural way, in the jungle, immersed among other life, and naturally selected to resist diseases. That's how you and I are here, a long process of selection. Our immune system can fight off gazillions of viruses and bacteria, or at least keep them in check and make them live in harmony inside you, which, as soon as you die, decompose your body, unless immersed in formalin. Each of those microorganisms living inside you is potentially deadly, but it's not, because you're genetically adapted to dealing with them. Of course such natural selection also means massive die-offs of those unadapted, potentially the loss of the entire species, but as long as a few make it, you have maybe a new species and a new adaptation. For instance a malaria adaptation is sickle cell disease, deformed hemoglobin. But such a cost, risking losing the human species, is too high, therefore technology will be applied, instead of allowing genetics through natural selection, and instead of allowing only the sickle cell diseased ones to make it, and be the only ones in face of malaria, technology will be applied, including drugs, air filtration, sterilization of utensils, and, as an end result, everyone will be genetically weak to properly fight diseases, especially if the males of the species are lost somewhere in time through history, 3 billion years from now, just like how some ants lack males. Ants have a much longer evolution than humans, and, because under warfare scenarios, cooperation is important, and in cooperation, hierarchy, you may end up with massive social structures just like ants and bees do, together with reproductive specialization genetically inscribed into individuals. The Alien queen, with external eggs and genetically engineered ovipositors, may be the future of highly social, warfare tested social structures of what
Because renewable energy lacks a good carrier - such as gasoline, diesel, propane, sugar, fat, li-ion battery. Usually the way they get the energy required to pump oil out of the ground, is by burning some oil to run the equipment, and you talk about the concept of net energy gain. In case it takes 90% of a barrel of oil worth of pumping to squeeze out 100% of one barrel from the ground, your net energy gain is 10%, and it may not be worth it. However, with renewables, which are kinda like free in the desert, and you don't have a good way to transport it away from there, but you can use them exclusively to run your equipment and do the net energy of extraction at 100%.
Renewable energy would be great if you had a good carrier for it. They talk about the hydrogen economy, but it's not gonna fly far. I talk about the ammonia economy - tag the hydrogen onto nitrogen, that's plentiful, easy to come by, unlike the only 0.03% CO2 in the atmosphere, from which to extract the carbon and turn it to hydrocarbon - you have to process a humongous amount of air to get any carbon out of it, that you could turn into hydrocarbons as the renewable energy carrier.
By the way my karma instantly went bad, things that were modded +3 Funny, got modded -1 offtopic or -1 troll, so they only let me post 10 posts per day under this ID, and I'd have to go Anonymous Coward for more. I like to have people that read one of my postings, dig through my other postings too.
It would take me a whole year to just read through them 450,000 patent titles, let alone comprehend their meaning, let alone read their text, let alone comprehend their intent, let alone debate in my mind of the validity of any claims. Anything you do in this world might infringe on someone's patent, in fact they can submarine patents under that flood of patents, it's easy to hide something new that wasn't there before, pretending it was issued years ago, right when you do something brand new that has never been done before, and they wanna come harass you to stop doing it. Even if their patent does not apply, they can take you to court and then it's a game of who's got the deeper pockets to fight a patent battle, not a game of who's right who's wrong. I say fuck patents completely, abolish the patent system, it has degenerated into absolute waste of everybody's time and money. Go back to the nomadic intellectual property ways of 1500, and keep trade secrets if you feel like you need to. Which you can do even today anyway, with patents.
I bought that stupid house at a public auction. It was good enough for me, even if the city thinks it's not appropriate for me, and knocked it down for me, it did not live up to their standards of luxury. If anybody had a problem with me buying it at too low a price, they were welcome to show up at the auction and pay more, but other than that I care not about level of luxury as long as it's a roof over my head that keeps the rain out, and my most important luxury item is keeping my own bank account balance above zero, unlike the government that has run rampant with destruction, dragging other people into debt by charging them for that destruction, and unable to keep their own bank account balance above zero. Fuck the government, take the money from one guy, kill him with it, give it to another welfare recipient to breed out of control and vote you down at elections. Time for some tea bagger party motherfuckers that cut the government cancer out of everyday people's life.
Except I cannot purchase a money order at an ATM, without talking to a teller. And my landlord has the habit of sitting on checks for a whole fucking year, before it hits my bank account, and plays this cat and mouse game or memory, see how much you can remember, what checks you wrote out 6 months ago. So I get a money order, it instantly gets deducted, and I send it off to him in the mail, just like it says in the rental contract, which specifies mailed payments, not paypal or anything like that. And I told him if he don't get the money orders, and fails to inform me, it's on him, I'm not writing them out again for a whole year, unlike when he sits on un-cashed checks, and hammers my account after a year. It also says in the contract I can't touch the furnace, can't modify things in the house, landlord cuts the grass but does not shovel snow, and he has not increased the rent for 7 years, unlike in a lot of other places you move into with yearly leases and yearly increases. He was still happy when I told him the city knocked my junk house down with an excavator, he said it's amazing how quickly they get that stuff done. Yeah, it's fucking amazing how I have to keep paying him rent, it must be very amazing to him.
Obama accomplished something. He got elected as a colored person, and got reelected too. He also brought some troops home. And he cares, true he may care more about blacks than whites and discriminates that way, but in general he cares about everybody, even is he's clumsy in the way he goes about it. It's not easy to do the right thing at the top when you don't know what the right thing is and nobody knows. I mean you may think you know, and even be certain about it, and then you need to review why the Oracle at Delphi told Socrates he was the wisest man alive.
Fuck cancer and fuck big pharma fucking patients over over money, so fuck money too.
I signed a land purchase contract that explicitly transferred mineral rights, and I did not really care, I mean I do, but what I really needed was a tranquil living space. At the county they hold the documents they don't make public the records, and you have to walk into their office, through a metal detector, and any hard copy or printed proof you want to take away they make you pay for it. It's not possible to research the history of a piece of land without going bankrupt over the fees if the history is littered through and through with documents, going back all the way to the Native Americans. In a lot of countries whoever owns title owns the land, and if they own it by mistake, and someone else should have it, that someone else can get monetary compensation from the government, but they do not reverse title. In the US you buy what's called "Title Insurance" which is a major ripoff, but at least it's a one time fee only for a one time service, that is, someone at the private title insurance agency digs through the land records, and if they don't luck out in finding anything nasty, they will insure the title, as a gamble, on your named amount. There is always a chance that a record was missed, especially when they play hide and seek with you on the computers, so even if you sit at the county office, and thoroughly examine all the records, and even pay the staff there to do the search for you, with consideration, there is a way to submarine a fake, ancient document, from say 1834, that voids the validity of all the rest of the title transfer deeds ever since then, and under this system of land purchases with hide and seek, nonpublic county land records, all you're purchasing is pretty much air. And if you purchase title insurance in a given amount from an insurance corporation, nothing guarantees that that corporation won't take your money, pocket it, then simply go out of business and restart as a new one. Kinda like lifetime dialup ISP's in the 90's were. For $99 one time fee, we give you a lifetime dialup internet acccess. You know how that pyramid scheme works? They take your 99 dollars, give you internet for a couple months, pay the CEO millions in salaries, take up all kinds of business loans from banks, then simply go bankrupt, out of business, and restart a new business. Wash, rinse, repeat, take your money and run with it, is what land title insurance companies are too. So all you're buying when you buy a title to a land is air, hocus pocus. What else can you do though? How can you find yourself a place to live in peace, as the nearest communist public lands, that are nobody's private property, called state parks or natural reservations, maybe half a state across from you, where you can go and just be with any right, other than that everything else is private property, and you don't have the right to be present there, including you don't have the right to sleep in your car at a 24x7 Walmart parking lot, if Walmart says so on a displayed banner right under the parking lot cameras.
And very empty, to where any piece of rock in a low gravity environment, such as the Moon or and asterorid (not so much Jupiter or even Earth that are too deep a gravity wells) is worth blood.
Dude, every single version of windows is built to be a security hole on purpose, just so we can sell you a new version that's "more secure" tomorrow. Upgrade upgrade upgrade. Money makes the world go round. Why would they make a perfect operating system with no security issues? People would never buy it again and again. That'd be like making a car that lasts forever - the car business would be out of work. We gotta make crap on purpose, so we can keep selling it, and keep busy making it. Without a job how are you gonna pay rent? If you make a perfect car that lasts forever, when you're 20, what will you make when you're 50, if nobody buys it, cuz their old car is still good? And then what do you with all your free time? The biggest devastation to the native americans was the Sun Dogs - horses. With horses they could hunt and gather their whole year's worth of food supply in like 3 weeks - something that used to take up all their time before - and had the rest of the 52 weeks to piss around and get bored. What they ended up doing is fighting each other's tribes, like heroes, usually the women drove the men to do it, they always wanted more stuff, wanted what the other tribe had, and the men followed their wishes, or button pushes.
I wouldn't wanna be stuck in one of these things when it malfunctions.
Those names of soylentnews and pipedot are mocking names like gnu, gnome, gimp. Slashdot is at least a cool name, but I guess some think it's time to divide and conquer this group of nerds.
Yeah, what a great replacement for religion - anime, as spiritual food stuff, huh? I wonder if they make zen buddhist anime episodes. I could watch those. Like old folk stories, enacted by anime characters. The adventures of the poor peasant boy leaving the village and going around the world, confronted by ethical issues. Not pussy and cool weaponry, all the fucking time.
