Companies in China have been making fake, clone, super fake, ultra copy, counterfeit, knockoff, imitation, bogus, scam copies of Official Luxury items, like ROLEX watches form more than 20 years now & they are getting really good at it. If you are going to buy a used ROLEX watch, I highly recommend watching this video https://youtu.be/P_ZTqC2Yxxs by Watchfinder.co.uk https://www.watchfinder.com
Idolatry So Pervasive It Became "Normal"
I had this sinking suspicion that I was guilty of vanity, materialistic thinking & information & knowledge idolatry, but really never understood "how" until I was reading Ephesians & Philippians in the Christian Bible, the Amplified version, this morning, with Meg.
Sales of Luxury Watches to Younger Generations Dwindling
Fewer people alive today can actually truly afford a luxury wrist watch & the ones who can are often not interested in buying one! Chip enhanced smart jewelry like the Apple Watch popular with Gen. Y. & most Gen. X & Millennials! Grim outlook for Switzerlands "watch" intensive economy!
What is Real/ is this the Real Reality? How you can you prove your not in a simulation in the distant future experiencing history of what went wrong on Earth back "now"
Everyone a sinner, flawed & makes mistakes! No one is perfect & no one has all the answers. To question the questions means you are asking a philosophical question about if you really exist or if this life you think is real is actually a simulation plugged directly into your conciseness so that you cannot distinguish this life from the real truth, some mysterious higher dimensional space. Perhaps we are just here living in a recreation of the past, the distant past & our real selves are in the distant future long after Earth's Sun boiled off the oceans & turned Earth into Mars like conditions.
Frozen Car + Block & Electrical Heating = Unfrozen

When its really cold outside & your car is frozen & you are not in a big hurry to leave, you can use an electric space heater & an engine block heater to preheat your vehicle. |
Electrical Scam (Sorta) Higher Voltage = Smaller Wires, Less Metal, Lower Cost & More Function (Higher Efficiency)
AC power generation relies on energizing electromagnets in giant generator sets to create an alternating electrical current in metal conductor wires that distribute this push pull through the black hot wire into homes & businesses of all kinds. The net number of electrons lost from that chain are measured by the utility meter in kWh kilowatt hours, which is multiplied by the cost & that's what your utility company uses to charge you an electrical utility bill monthly.

| An English Gentleman Explains his Earth Battery Experiments & How To Build an Earth Battery |
An Earth battery a pair of electrodes made of two dissimilar metals, such as iron & copper, which are buried in the soil or immersed in the sea.
See this video https://youtu.be/2CIizY5nb9I
Earth batteries act as water activated batteries and if the plates are sufficiently far apart, they can tap telluric currents. Earth batteries tap a useful low voltage current from telluric currents, and were used for telegraph systems as far back as the 1840s.

Jewel Bearings Invented 1704 ^^ for Mechanical Wrist Watches :)
These low friction oil capture gemstone bearings, now typically made of synthetic sapphire, natural rubies & sometimes even diamonds, were invented in 1704 for use in mechanical watches by Nicolas Fatio de Duillier, Peter Debaufre, and Jacob Debaufre, who received an English patent for the idea.
