Toyota Hilux Champ

 

ImageBudget Friendly, Rugged, Reliable, Fully Customizable, 2.4L diesel automatic best one by far for hauling mass, if RV conversion or adding bulking vocational conversion to cargo trailer, its the best value in the world for a compact reliable truck & I want one so much I am writing about it on my blog to ask Toyota to make it available in the USA or contact me to help me buy one in America, I am willing to pay for it, outright, its insanely amazing in so many ways, its a halo car designed for developing countries with poor quality roads, can you imagine how cool it would be in America, where there is nothing like it, such a cool design, so many possibilities when tuning it to adapt the back cargo area to whatever use case required or desired, its amazing! 

We are talking about $12,000 base model with 2 liter gas engine & manual transmission

Then $13,200 for 2.7 L model with automatic

Then $14,650 for 2.4 L turbo diesel with automatic, best one, the one I want & willing to buy asap

Counter Strike 2

25 years of experience in FPS fun, so popular on STEAM the gaming platform that it became a worldwide E-sports game, but I never played on that level, I am casual episodic gamer and over that same period of time I have only played 280 hours or a tad less overall :) I play for 30 minutes to an hour, some days of some months, then go many months without playing much, hence casual gamer. I also tend to game in bursts of sessions centered around a few days then get bored and stop playing for months, creating the strange sporadic average play. I almost always play CT or Counter Terrorist also 


Income Inequality Increasing

Canada, America, Japan, Italy, there are many former superpowers of great economic progress that a stagnating with shrinking middle class as the minority of opulent rich citizens of the same countries expand their wealth geometrically increasing it when they already live privileged lives literally wanting for thing or able to buy anything at a glance. These former economy miracle nations are now coasting on fumes like the Sega Corporation of Japan or the Dutch tulip bulb industry today as another example. 

This problem was made worse by globalization and unfair global trade. In American before 1960 for example, household appliances like stoves and fridges made during this time still work today or were made very robust and easy to fix or repair with readily available spare parts. In some ways this continued into the 1980s America when many companies shut down manufacturing plants in American & moved their manufacturing to Mexico, India, Cambodia, Philippines, Vietnam, Chine, Taiwan, Hong Kong, or where labor was cheaper and the local governments streamlined setting up factories and manning them with people to work the production lines for pennies on the dollar wages compared to what Americans were being paid in terms of minimum wage or much higher salaries for more advanced jobs with more education and more experience.

What's more, in pre 1980 American the companies were run by engineers and scientists, but more recently all the same companies have executives that majored in business or finance, who effectively focus on increasing profits every quarter no matter what it hurts or kills or damages including its own employees or customers incredibly, but often still the case that nature or natural environment are used as a waste dump for chemical waste or similar emissions, the toxic substances released because it is cheaper to do it like that, dirty, eco toxic, as cleaning it up with polymer bead filtering operation and similar environmental control closed loop water systems would eat 1% of profit.

That 1% sacrifice in profits to clean up operations to less polluting or non polluting enough to drive the accounting major executive mad because they have a legal fiduciary responsibility to earn the most money possible for the share holders or people who own common stocks in the company or any kinds of stock shares. Oddly mostly the hyper wealthy billionaires tend to also own most of the shares of most of the companies worldwide, in part, how they amass so much wealth no matter if the economy going up or down, they also tend to either work with or own hedge funds.

Owning Too Much a Headache : Cautionary Tail To Young People, Teens, Children

 When you grow up avoid buying too many things, it costs too much and creates disorganized chaos every time you move, it's a headache. Look at home many people use their garage as a storage bin so they are forced to park in the driveway or on the street, so their cars are cold in the winter and super heated during the summer which causes everything to wear out faster in the most expensive rapidly depreciating thing that people own, all so they can store stuff they hardly every use in the garage that was deigned to hold a car or truck or SUV. 

Take Only What You Need

A little older and a little wiser, looking back on life, there is great pause for reflection about what worked well and what did not. I was blessed with wealth and confused on drugs and alcohol and bombarded with ads on YouTube before I went premium for $25 per month, I spent a lot of time and money buying things on Ebay and Amazon and have more stuff than I can easily keep track of. My wife in order to stay sane continually reorganizes things in our home which is the equivalent of hiding them from me because I remember the last time I saw them in the position where I placed them as a visual kinetic movement storage 3D volume memory, not when she says, hey I put x over here now and this is the new location for it, often times I forget when tired what the new location is, especially if its been a long time since I last accessed it. I think you get the idea. Having too many things can be a headache of wasted time looking for stuff, when it might be more cost efficiency or time efficient to just get another one. I have been forced to rebuy things over and over again because my older one was lost in translation when moving, or in our storage bin, or under stair storage or places I rarely visit. It's almost like I need a computerized barcode inventory management system. I often when looking for something wonder WTF, I remember it being over here and it's not there anymore. Frustration, anger, stress, anxiety, all of that can be avoided. 

BUY LESS and ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY! 

VFD Vacuum Fluorescent Displays

 Superior brightness, dimmable, multiple color options, they last a long time, some can go 200,000 hour with auto-dimming. Notably Toyota used a VFD as the speed display in the 04-09 Prius II in bright green that was inverted and the light bounced into a mirror for the drivers eyes, giving the impression that the displayed information was much further away in the middle of the firewall near the base of the front window, so that it was much easier to look upon quickly without taking your eyes away from the road ahead, not nearly as slick as a HUD displayed on the window, but close, and our 1996 microwave oven has a superior multi color VFD display with 8 bit microcontroller able to scroll text across the display, the coolest VFD I have ever seen but not nearly as bright as the one in our 05 Prius that I drove for 17 years.

Nixie tubes were an example of a cathode display, perhaps a technological precursor to the vacuum fluorescent displays. I believe that cold cathode fluorescent backlight tubes of perhaps 1mm or 2mm or 3mm in diameter arrayed behind LCD screens in early flat screen computer monitors and televisions uses a similar design in terms of electrical ionization of phosphors. In a VFD a glass housing containing cathode wires in front of the information display panel bombard the information display panel phosphors with electrons causing them to glow. If the VFD controller varies the voltage to the cathode wires then the information panel glow can be dimmed or brightened. This entire setup like a vacuum tube, is held inside a rectangular vacuum pressure glass ampule with wires bonded through the glass in a hot melt manufacturing process where they use a fluorescent inspection tool to check for stress fractures in the glass, as the VFD has to be annealed like other glass produce to remove heterogenous stress boundaries that the prolonged heating during annealing causes to relax and melt back together into homogeneity. I skipped a lot of the steps in VFD making because one, I never made one, two I only researched them after they stopped being used in products and replaced by stupid segmented LED displays that are shorter life and where one segment of LED tends to burn out before the others distorting the displayed information which I find extremely annoying. 

Replacing the LED display in a microwave oven requires taking the entire controller off & carefully unsoldering it, procuring a replacement, then carefully soldering the new display onto the control logic board, not something an average person can do, and if you took it to a repair shop they would charge more to fix it than the cost or replacing the microwave oven with a newer model. This in wealthy countries often the case, it costs more to fix your older appliance than it dose to replace it with a new one. Can you say designed obsolescence? The euphemism that device manufacturers used is Lifecycle Analytics. Even as a kid my father Ken told me, in the 1960s manufactures learned their lesson when they sold Americans things that last 50 years or more, so they only make 1 sale to that person, and have to charge a lot more for such things to generate enough revenue or profit to stay in business. 

He had a  stereo amplifier from the 1960's that cost $1000 back then, was still working in the early 2000's even with a lot of hours on it. Eventually some of the robust well made in American transistors burned out, so it took it to a local electronics repair shop on a Saturday and took me with him. At the repair shop the repair technician said "Here's is the deal, if we used really high quality Allan Bradly American Made long life transistors they are about $20 each and you need 12 plug labor to install them after removing the old ones, or I can use some cheaper made in Asia transistors than only cost $3 each plus the same cost for replacement labor, what would you like me to do. My dad whet with the cheaper option, but then it burned out 5 years later. We then went to the Trading Musician in Seattle and found a better older amp with low hours in minty conditions for $100 and it still works today :) 

I grew up visiting many homes because my parents were relators and being observant I noticed that many home appliances made before 1980 just keep going. I asked a family friends who was a product design engineer about this and he said "Back before 1980 computers were not able to do FEA or finite element analysis as well as they can now, so manufacturers built in more tolerance or made everything stronger, thicker & heavier back then to make sure they would work until the warranty ran out. Over time they figured out how to use the least amount of metal possible or in well made examples that last a long time you have to pay a huge price premium, so you can still today buy really well made long lasting stereo amps made from raw materials in New York, but that famous company charges many thousands of dollars for their amps. 

Everyone says how energy efficient LED are compared to other technology, but exceptional examples of Sodium Vapor Lamps with long life well made magnetic ballasts were know to get 200 lumps per watt of electrical energy since the 1970's. Take that LED you stupid bunch of rare earth nonsense. I hate blue white 6500 K led, the blue light garish and ugly and reminds me of hospitals, I don't want that in my vehicle or at home. I like 2000K warm sunset beautiful flame fire color, orange red colors, or even 3500K bright white or 3000K warm white, and even 4200K greenish light ok, its that 5500 to 6500K blue white that is super annoying. Now there are interesting purple pink colors above 7000K that I also like. How can I be so color specific with preferences, well given that the eye is more sensitive to brightness and contrast than it is to colors, its probably down to why high CRI HID lams or short arc xenon bulbs are used in LCD and DPL projectors with more lumens or higher brightness. 

I know that LED projectors exists, but lasers are superior in terms of brightness and way long ago & even today the short arc xenon in its brightest format used in operating theaters, clean rooms & in IMAX projector systems. The coolest bulb design of all time goes to the Microwave Sulfur bulbs, where yellow sulfur held inside a rotate quarts sphere of thick fused quartz, where microwaves from an adjacent emitted excite the sulfur into a plasma that emits millions of lumens of pleasing light color light :) There is an airfare museum with a few of these microwave sulfur bulbs that are so bright that they used polished metal optical pipes to move the light around the facility to distributed it, such that a few microwave sulfur bulbs are able to illuminate the entire inside of the giant building complex with optical fiber like polished metals tubes pumping the light around. Amazing. 

Even high CRI LED exist, where the manufacture color bins the LED chips. LED chips are made on large wafers like computer chips, but they sprinkle a mix of phosphors over the blue UV LED chips so that the UV light energizes the phosphors to emit white light of different color temperatures depending on the phosphorus used or how many different colors of phosphors are applied, but because of irregular application of the phosphor, some of the LEDs have slightly different color temps, so a optical sorting testing system can separate them into groups with closer color temp colors, called color binning, but doing that takes longer and costs more, so high CRI professional LED for printing and studios and color accuracy, cost a lot more like photography bulbs. 

Giant Crystals into Trillions of Transistors

Imagine an alumina ceramic electric furnace filled with ultra high purity chunks of silicon, heat under a gas blanket of argon to keep the 3000F melt from reacting with air oxygen or moisture. Ironically air contains argon, this is how gas companies pressure swing concentrate argon, then compress cool & bottle it for use in TIG welding or similar as a shielding gas for the same reason, it prevents air from reacting with the super hot metals created by the electric arc formed during TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding.

Known as the Czochralski Method of growing large single crystal boules, later cut into wafers, then subjected to hundreds of processing stages at Chip Fabs to make computer chips like CPU, GPU, SOC, as common examples of cutting end integrated circuits or the brains of computers, tablets, smartphones, laptops, desktops, servers, even all the integrate chips in modern automobiles which each contain more than 100 chips, the same reason that the global chip shortage during COVID19 supply chain disruption caused many automakers to stop production of cars, trucks, SUV, buses and other modern vehicles with ADAS, computers like the ECU or engine control unit, VSC vehicle stability control, ESC electronic stability control, LKA or lane keep assist, RSA or road sign assist, Pre-Collision Avoidance, Adaptive Radar Enhanced Cruise Control, AHB automatic high beams or any of the other such systems, all of which make use of digital computers linked over OBDII networks in the car & its famous dash connections that allows a diagnostic tool to be plugged into to a newer vehicle to determine what is wrong if the MIL or master warning light illuminated on the dashboard indicated a problem. On the OBD tool you get codes you can look up online to find what they mean. Genius Gordon Teal pioneered optimizing the large single crystal production & designed many early advanced versions of such furnaces.

These giant boules of silicon single crystal have weigh up to 600 kilograms yet can be held by a single 1mm thread of silicon at the top since silicon has incredible tensile strength but also super brittle worse than most kinds of glass, so the thread of silicon holding the heavy boule can be broken by tapping it with a metal tool, the same way you could easily shatter a glass screen cover over the smartphone screen by hitting it with a metal tool hard enough. You can ad a protect glass screen cover over the other glass to act like a sacrificial protective layer so that it cracks instead of the screen glass if you drop you phone on a sharp rock or metal or something hard enough the crack the screen.

From Wikipedia

Czochralski method, also Czochralski technique or Czochralski process, is a method of crystal growth used to obtain single crystals(monocrystals) of semiconductors (e.g. silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide), metals (e.g. palladium, platinum, silver, gold), salts and synthetic gemstones. The method is named after Polish scientist Jan Czochralski, who invented the method in 1915 while investigating the crystallization rates of metals. He made this discovery by accident: instead of dipping his pen into his inkwell, he dipped it in molten tin, and drew a tin filament, which later proved to be a single crystal. The process remains economically important, as roughly 90% of all modern-day semiconductor devices use material derived from this method.

The most important application may be the growth of large cylindrical ingots, or boules, of single crystal silicon used in the electronics industry to make semiconductor devices like integrated circuits. Other semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide, can also be grown by this method, although lower defect densities in this case can be obtained using variants of the Bridgman–Stockbarger method. Other semiconductors such as Silicon Carbide are grown using other methods such as physical vapor transport.


Friendship Collapse: Inside Anti-Social Screen Debacle

Record amounts of time online, alone, by themselves, a fundamental fact about American life, objective fact that Americans are more alone than ever, a loneliness epidemic not just in Japan but all around the world where people stare at smartphones instead of interacting with other people. Not that technology the only issue, but the rise of the car meant more people could drive away from downtown into the suburbs effectively privatizing American lives along with television which dominated leisure time sitting on the couch staring at a TV.

Years ago when Meg & I were first dating in and around 2010 we started noticing that when patronizing a restaurant other people, families of mom & dad & children, were all sitting at the same table, but no one was talking with each other & everyone in the group was staring into a smartphone doom scrolling social media or similar, not exactly reading wikipedia. My optimistic youthful naive view of giving everyone handheld computer to make everyone more intelligence turned out to be dreadfully wrong, since that is now what people are generally doing with their smartphones, though you can learn a language with DuoLingo app for example, on your smartphone.

Housing prices nearby are 20X higher than wage increases over the same time period or expensive but not nearly as bad as Toronto Canada which is 10X worse housing prices out of sight with average incomes lower than that of the poorest state in the USA, Mississippi. When you adjust Canadian Dollars to US dollars the average wage in Canada only $30,000 while a decent home near Toronto costs $15 million. I wing & complain about local homes that sold brand new back then for under $100K that now sell for $1. something million, when its literally 10X more expensive for the same near Toronto, in Canada. 

Can the loneliness epidemic be explained away by increasing smartphone use alone? No, there are many social factors that come along with the use of social media. Teens today are hopeless, more depressed than ever before. People in their twenties are dating less, 20% less than ever before. People in their 30's are getting married less, more are calling marriage old fashioned and out of date institution, and people in their 40's have fewer children. 

Now looking at the US dollar & the crooked evil Federal Reserve manipulating the fiat currency dollar, noting that prior to 1973 the US dollar was backed by Gold metal Au, that shinny lustrous soft jewelry metal, it works miracles on electrical contacts to prevent corrosion, so does platinum, palladium and rhodium. Perhaps the real tax rate when you consider all taxes in America closer to 50%, in part driving a loss in the middle class of America, of course made worse with global trade especially with China run by the CCP the most unethical government in the world. Inflation of the dollar just another kind of tax. 

The societal costs of screens dominating peoples free time are extraordinary. People today have more social anxiety, more social phobia, are afraid of taking time and effort to meet up with someone, afraid the conversation will be boring or it will not be worth their time. People today are afraid they will never be able to achieve the American Dream of Home Ownership, many young people do not even think they will be able to buy a car in locations in America where the car is the only practical way of getting around, incredibly. The moral, mindset and outlook of the youth of America so bad that teen suicide rates are on the rise in America. 

Ask yourself how many school shootings have happened in America? The symptoms of societal decay are everywhere & have never been greater than when shoved the internet into peoples hands over 4G LTE and 5G more recently in the form of smartphones which are more than just a handheld super computer, they are also our phones, text platform, social media, camera for image or video capture, calculator, calendar, email, browsing, shopping online, there apps for smartphones that turn a smartphone into 65 different devices that you would have had to buy separately in the 80's, now its all in one in rounded rectangles of glass with computer chips inside called SOC or system on chip, mostly made by TSMC using ASMLS best equipment, of what Apple calls M1 through M5 so far or Apple Silicon. 

We not only have an anti-social trend emerging, there are dehydration, kidney failure, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer epidemics overlapping as uncontrolled climate change causes the weather to become more imbalanced or crazy, as if the entire world going crazy as more people withdraw into lonely isolation. What is the silver bullet. I spent a lot of time not using my smartphone theses day, leaving it in my pocket and only using it when required. 

Now I shoot YouTube video with it, so in this sense I use it more, and lately I have been studying Japanese on DuoLingo on my phone so my screen time is up, but in general its less than 15 minutes per day. When Meg & I are out & about together, we rarely tough our phones, though her DEXCOM G7 uses the iPhone 16 Plus as its information display interface for the related App to stream blood glucose trends, log food and insulin intake, so forth, her phone is part of a medically essential type 1 diabetes life saving technological setup or kit, so she uses her phone a bit more in this way. 

When I am online, it's publishing blog posting or uploading YouTube or often posting to X. It requires a laptop and keyboard. I can't easily do the same on my phone, the touch screen too small & finger fumbling, it is just so much faster on the laptop, a MacBook Pro M2, that the iPhone 14 acts like video camera most of the time and my series 8 Apple Watch just a glorified overpriced fitness tracker :) The inductive charging runs circles around Fitbits I previously owned with their weird charging cables. Speaking of weight when apple switched to USB-C, my iPhone 14 still lighting but Megs iPhone 16 Plus USB-C. It seems like everything is going to USB-C. For more than 20 years USB-A was a miracle. Like the headphone jack on iPhones that let wired earbuds work, I really miss that, though I got some awesome wireless bluetooth earbuds on Amazon for under $45 that sound fantastic. 

Streaming, imaging trying to explain that to a pirate in antiquity! Today so many people watch YouTube videos or similar content online. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, its many platforms like Disney+

Where is the original, what ceases to be the original, the studio captures the movies after editing and so forth, they have the master copy, usually digital these days, its big data at first, but then H.264 like JPEG for videos compression allows HTML5 streaming on YouTube for example, much more data efficient, which is cheaper for Alphabet Inc to stream, from cloud computing or server clusters in racks in data centers that use millions of watts of electricity. The internet uses more power than some medium sized countries and data online doubles every 12 hours. What is your brain doing with all of this? 

Electric Bikes or Hub Motor Electric Bicycles

1200 MPG equivalent biological battery motor assisted fuel economy on a Typical 500 watt hub motor e-bike with 500 Watt Hour battery pack & 5 levels of PAS pedal assist selected by user

Twist as fast with half the effort the e-bike gives anyone the ability to go places even if they are not fit enough to ride a regular bicycle or older with knee pain or excess body weight. This means that e-bikes are a breakthrough in mobility by enabling more kinds of people to ride bicycles instead of always relying on a car. 

I can easily ride our Lectric XP 3.0 folding cargo bike to the grocery store & back & have plenty of cargo capacity for 2 large bags of groceries. This would be exceedingly difficult to do on a normal bicycle because of the high mountain where our home is located, which requires riding up a 469 foot hill with no bike lane to get home, not only scary, but really physically demanding, requiring elite bicycle fitness to accomplish, especially if carrying two full bags of groceries. 

Sure a fair weather operation, no fun in the rain, but who wants to always use a car when you can explore like a kid again, back when you rode your bicycle all over during summer break, do you remember? 

E-bikes give older adults like me, I am almost 42 & not as fit as I was in my 20s anymore, but still actively stay in physically good conditions doing Les Mills Body Combat in VR, sessions of PT lately twice per week, hiking, riding bicycle, even e-bike on my rest days since its so much easier :) 

Removable 14 AH 48V battery pack means you can carry spare batteries for more range. With the twist throttle along on flatter routs that's 30 miles of range of 60 with pedal assist. Additional batteries can be stored in a bag or box on the rear cargo rack. No insurance, no license, no registration, its freedom without all the costs of cars. 

If it was covered with a canopy, it could be an all weather option as many electrically assisted recumbent bicycle also have flexible solar PV sewn into the sun rain cover canopy & can also be more aerodynamic & more stable. 

Gold the Dark Side of Industrialization, Heat Death of the Universe in Billions of Years

To keep the light on & party happening the OECD, our carbon based energy scarcity means billions of people live in radical poverty, as other elite people fly around the world in private jet aircraft they own like toys of rich men almost a trope for most of human history. The billionaire are the Kings of today because of how they wield political & economic power worldwide. 

The act of living increases entropy. Think of a typical American Family with a 2500 square foot house on 1/2 acre of land with a big green lawn front & back where the barbecue propane fueled meat cooker located, a lawn mower fueled by gasoline with a small air cooled carburetor engine of about 5 hp that spins a metal blade fast to cut the grass. In the garage two newer cars, a power sports toy that also runs on gasoline. The home features a 200 amp utility panel, many power outlets, high speed internet, water, natural gas plumbed in to heat air and water, sewer or septic to drain away waste from two or more toilets that flush fresh water with poo and pee, many sinks, a dishwashing machine, clothing washing machine, a clothing dryer machine, vacuums, TV's, computers, a microwave oven, an oven & stove top with many burners, any number of smartphones even old ones in a drawer, probably stuff they own stored in the garage with their cars like bicycles, skis, snowboards, scooters, motorcycles, or seasonal decorations. They probably own investments, have a 401K or IRA or Pension & live like a king from antiquity, literally wanting for nothing needed, all their lives basics are more than covered redundantly, they even have a wired in natural gas backup generator & portable emergency gasoline fueled generator, their barbecue runs on a 4.6 gal 20lb painted steel propane tank with a brass safety valve used to fill it & dispense propane to the regulator which turns down the pressure before it enters the jets or burner in the grill. This my friends, the American Dream requires 6 kilowatts of energy 24/7 for each person in that house, so a Typical family of Mom (female XX, & Dad (male XY) with children (XX or XY for girls or boys), so 4 people, that's 24 kilowatts 24/7 for that kind of ultra privileged lifestyle that few Americans appreciate and most of whom also take it for granted completely unaware that this is radical wealth compared to the global human average living conditions. Can you imagine the total lifetime emissions of people living like Americans living the American Dream? 

Even the end of world war three unknown since it has not started yet, but who will survive hard to know because of this. You do not know what you do not know until you know and we cannot know what will happen during world war 3 because it's not happening yet, but many people sense it coming like me. 

War very expensive, kills a lot of people, many of the problems the war seeks to solve remain unsolved after the war is over, but much else damaged by war, many innocent people are killed, roads & building & power plants & power polls & transformers at substations, natural gas pumps, water pumps, much of the internet & power services are gone during war because it damages those systems as strategic targets, in drone warfare, in biological warfare, in chemical warfare, with nuclear bombs set off, look what happened to Japan in Hiroshima & Nagasaki when the US bombed both locations with nuclear weapons to end World War Two. 

Do you wonder why so many famous people were traveling to Epstein's island of ill repute? To buy the Ovaries of African women, to get the highest quality Stem Cells for elite medications & expensive treatments available to the hyper wealthy worldwide. They also get them from umbilical cords & aborted babies, but that is not enough supply. Perhaps they championed abortion to get more stem cells. Many more questions remain unanswered. 

How do they traffic more than 100 tons of gold out of Africa illegally into Swiss refineries of Gold? How are members of the Swiss industrial base & government affiliated with the questionable child labor gold? Does the bright economy of Switzerland rely of exploiting artisanal miners in Africa, many of whom are children in dirty unsafe conditions, very unfair trade. Shame of you who like me own so many electronics with batteries containing conflict cobalt mined by children in the DRC, controlled by rebells holding AK47 rifles to slave labor enforce forced child labor in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, thousands of times more cobalt in every BEV or battery electric vehicle battery pack lithium ion batteries. 

Entropy, fuel burned into air pollution long ago, the easy crude oil already gone. Peak oil already happened, but now we have synthetic fuels made from natural gas & coal, from dump gas, sour gas, bio gas, compost gas, swamp gas, sewer gas, we can make synthetic gasoline & diesel & jet fuel from captured tube in but to bag pipe system at dairy farms or CAFO. 

Computers, operating systems, board logic, CPU chips connected with gold wires to gold plated pins that plug into the motherboard holder with a matching set of connections arranged so that every CPU pin plugs into corespondent hole in the mount, then a tension bar clamps the connections as it is lowered & secured. Thermal paste applied to the heat spreader or cover of the CPU chip, metallic, it transfers heat energy to the heatsink, typically a machined aluminum heat spreader with a brushless motor fan that blows cooling air into the high surface area heatsink so that heat energy transfers from the chip into the air, the hot air expelled into the case, then fans in the case expel the hot air into the room where the PC operating. 

Entropy, More Energy, AC has to pump the heat somewhere, so does your fridge, it transfer heat to the room where the fridge is operated, that's why you hear the fridge compressor operating in cycles, so it can pump the heat to the external radiators under or behind your fridge that you should clean of dust periodically so they work correctly :) 

Most personal computers are desktops featuring a power supply to convert AC grid power into DC 12V & 5V & 3.3V into the 24 pin connector attached to the motherboard, mounted to a case with standoffs & screws, you have a solid state hard drive that plugs into its slot and then screwed down to secure it, similarly the graphics card with its GPU & memory plugs into a mainboard slot, secured with a screw, power cables from the PSU are routed directly to the graphics card 6 & 8 power pins, the high end NVIDIA stuff can huff down 300 watts at a full tilt, and you better have a big case to fit a giant graphics card like that high end NVIDIA stuff ideal for discrete graphics gaming on STEAM for example :) That's an online gaming platform for PC gamers. At every stage there is a lot of heat, say HEAT DEATH OF THE EARTH

Gold can be dirty or cleaner, but all mining emits pollutants, some have captures with filters & polymer beads & HEPA like super fine RO membrane filters, the water running off the mine can be cleaner than the natural water nearby if its filtered enough by expensive technology that requires regular replacements & cleaning & maintenance. There is no free lunch in Physics. 

Every wonder why automotive engines cannot be more fuel efficient? That is because the temperature difference between the air temperature & fuel combustion temp limited by the materials used in the engines construction. If the engine could lean burn the fuel hotter at higher temperatures it could be more fuel efficient with higher thermal efficiency like some of the best power plant turbines which convert mechanical energy inputs into electrical power with net system efficiency of higher than 50%, as do many Toyota Hybrid vehicle engines with efficiency focused ECO mode activated by the driver, the ECU runs a leaner fuel mix once the engine fully warm at its full operating temperature, or LEVEL 5 operation, where level 0 cold off, level 1 cold start, level 2 warm from running a few minutes, level 3 when engine coolant & oil & block are near full temp, level 4 when all the emissions controls are fully working, then Level 5 when system totally on after about 15 minutes of driving steady state at freeway speeds. But your cars 100kW piston engine sends 50% of the fuels energy out the tailpipe as heated pollutants like CO2, H20, CO, NOX, SOX, Particles, Fumes like HC, Soot, Metals & Oxides of Metals, all sorts of stuff, thousands of chemicals are present in vehicle exhaust, especially that of Turbine Jet Engines on Aircraft that have no catalytic converter and burn the jet fuel in a very dirty way that makes air quality near airports very dirty.

In nature animals eat plants, larger animals eat smaller animals, the Sun bombards the Earth with light & heat & infrared & ultraviolet that plants convert into sugars & starches & carbohydrates & some fats or oils & proteins. Trophic magnification means a small amount of mercury emitted taken up my small organisms becomes more concentrated as larger organism eat those smaller organisms & concentrate the mercury, finally into giant tuna fish at the top of that ocean food web system, then people eat the Tuna with the mercury which caused brain damage as mercury damages the glial cells & myelin of the brain tissue causing madness with higher exposure levels. Mercury metal a liquid, but as a salt it can enter people & other organism where it become a dangerous heavy metal toxin. This makes coal power emissions exceedingly toxic as they contain lead, arsenic, mercury, thorium, uranium, nickel, copper, aluminum, all sorts of other elements are present in coal that end up in the coal fly ash & particle emissions, all considered normal or naturally occurring in the minerals we call coal to dig up & burn dirty to make heat, steam to spin turbine generators to make electricity to sell over the grid to utility customers. 

Gold as money does not tend to lose value over time like common currencies like the USD or EURO

I like Gold the metal, other than copper its the only one with color naturally. Though heating stainless steel can get a nice golden cold, so can doing the same with titanium, you can get a whole rainbow of colors heating titanium camping gear :) I love stainless steel exhaust systems where the hottest parts near the engine header get so hot that they color oxidize beautiful :) 

When Jesus Christ was a man, a 1 ounce coin of gold bought about $3000 adjusted for inflation of nice all leather sandals, a hand made wool full body garment, in his time all fabric was hand made slowly & very expensive, as was leather hand made shoes. Even today artisanal goods like a samurai sword that takes 1 month for a talented expert blacksmith in Japan to fabricate mostly by hand from raw materials, to make the edge hard & sharp to hold its cutting edge while the tine of back of the blade flexible or softer, bonded into an exceptional art work example of sword making unmatched in many ways by any other means, but costly at thousands of dollars per example. The worldworldss finest paint brushes are about the same price as an ounce coin of gold today, around $3,300 dollars. Our 2020 Yamaha MT03 Motorcycle was $6000 out the door all said brand new back then, by comparisons. 

Gasoline fuels my 2022 Toyota Corolla LE Sedan Hybrid Synergy Drive. I just add 10 gallons & go 613 miles or get about 60 MPG amazingly, some 20-40% more fuel efficient than my wife's 10 Prius III which has a similar 2ZR-FXE engine & hybrid 2 motor generator drivetrain PSD setup, but Toyota tuned & optimized the core of this to shove it into the Corolla Hybrid since they sell 10 Corolla Hybrids for every 1 Prius for example. Our 2001 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro sedan or 13 Honda PCX150, they all run on gasoline, mostly ethanol free gasoline from The Grange in Issaquah Washington, but at $5.29 per gallon for regular, its not cheap fuel, but it also does not contain up to 10% ethanol from GMO fuel corn crops. 

US Pharmeceutical Victims

To be objective & fair, I have used Tylenol or Acetaminophen, Flexeril or Cyclobenzaprine, & prescribed antibiotics to treat sinus infection, an eye infection, took a benzodiazepine before having LASIK to help me calm down since I was really nervous about it. I took metformin & lisinopril regularly to lower my blood sugar & HbA1c & blood pressure, but then embraced lifestyle health improvements such as regular exercises, drinking more water, removing alcohol from my life, waking up earlier at the same time every day, going for regular walks, hiking regularly, doing strength training, up regulating proteins & fats in my diet, & eating more real whole natural food & less industrial ultra processed foods. 

Oddly at 173 lbs. I am as heavy as I have ever been, but more muscular, stronger, faster, more endurance, and feel better all the time now, even better than I did at 30 years of age 11 years ago. I keep the metformin & lisinopril as backups on the shelf if my health drifts from bad diet choices for a moment as sometimes I take a radical departure to my old ways & make butter coconut mochi, rice crispy treats, ice-cream or similar yummy dessert items at home from scratch :) I keep track of my blood glucose using finger prick blood drop into test strip inserted into a glucometer electronic blood glucose testing device that operates on a 2032 three volt coin cell battery like the kind installed to power  back up the CMOS chip on a motherboard of a computer. 

Oh & Meg & I take a multi-B & multi-vitamin, GABA to calm down, melatonin at bedtime, & keep a glass of water next to our bed since we often wakeup to go pee in the middle of the night & are also thirsty, a consequence of being super active & more easily dehydrated, thought I also cut back on the amount of coffee I drink, in ebbs & flows up & down regulating how many grams of coffee beans I allow myself daily :) I was trained & think like a scientist and my digital gram scale one of my favorite devices. 

I often use Vioxx as an example because Merck the maker knew about how it will kill tens of thousands of people with heart problems from exposure to Vioxx, entirely disclosed in internal executive emails within Merck 5 years before Vioxx went into mass production. Paying out more than $10.1 Billion in total losses, Merck ended up making more than $25 billion in profits overall on Vioxx sales, even after paying out all the claims & penalties & net damages & would have made $35 billion without compensating families of the victims of Vioxx poisoning.

The odd thing about Vioxx that it was incredibly effective as an NSAID at reducing pain & inflammation by selectively inhibiting the COX2 enzyme system. In some individuals that caused erosion of their mitral valves, though ibuprofen used in excess can do the same thing at higher dosing schedules of in common language if you take too much ibuprofen per day to many days in a row. 

Now for the startling truth, its diet of excess sugar, refined starches & all kinds of carbohydrates, not enough fresh home cooked meals made of real food, since that requires more time an effort & in many households mom & dad both have to work because housing & fuel & food costs a lot more now while the value of the US dollar also reduced progressively weaker since 1913 & really bad after 1973 when Nixon issued an emergency stop to the Dollar Gold Standard, which was to benefit his friends mostly, so typical as a kind of nepotism or corruption. 

I believe corruption present in all businesses & governments in every country at some level because every person contains a flaw that can bloom into narcissism or selfish greedy thinking if under the right circumstances with the right motivations & possibly access to funds when no one else watching or a liability for abuse of misappropriated funds that went missing to the tune of $5 trillion that the US Federal Government has no idea where it went, its entirely MIA or missing in action. It probably went up the noses of so many Federal Agency people who snort cocaine because their useless busywork Federal Program recently deleted by DOGE was getting paid for effectively doing nothing. 

If you go to a grocery store or supermarket in the USA, you will find uninterrupted yearlong access to oranges or fruits that are out of season. Did you know that obesity rates are up to 45% of the US Population now, including many children incredibly. Not just America either, in India & China & Australia & New Zealand & most other countries except Japan which has the lowest rates of obesity at less than 5% in part because of their Metabo law about waste size & diet of more lower cost real veggies, sea food, fermented food, the Diet of Japan consists mostly of healthy foods, even in School where parents take pride in making real home cooked like dishes for school meals, then the Children in Japan learn personal accountability by having to clean up after themselves since no public Japanese schools employ a janitor. 

In Japan more people walk & move more often, which raises their metabolic rate so they can burn off the rice carbs in their diet & the Omega 3 rich seafood entirely anti-inflammatory fats, & they get more minerals & vitamins from the vegetables & fruits & berries & nuts included in their meals. In essence the eat more real whole natural food in Japan & have a more balance diet to activity level & are less sedentary even in old ages & many never retire or retire when they are in their 80s and often live to be 100 or more. 

The society in Japan takes better care of its people even as they age as the population of Japan consists mostly of people over the age of 60 now, or an aging population where fewer young fertile couples have children or their population pyramid inverted or upside down, which is problematic long term but also has immediate problems as known locally within Japan as The Lost Generations, since around 2003 real estate so expensive that people in Japan are forced to live in a small room at their parents' house well into adulthood & feel embarrassed by this & often work online & are afraid of being judged so they never go out & live a boring lonely isolated existence that is really disturbing & sad & hard to fix. 

Nearly all countries where soda pop or sugar sweetened beverages often also sweetened with HFCS or high fructose corn syrup, say Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disorder. That is correct, many teens in many countries have swollen disrupted liver function from drinking too much soda rich with sugar & devoid of vitamins or minerals. They would be better off drinking water or tea or coffee. 

Meg & I do not even like soda, & there are so many options of zero sugar flavored beverages in cans & bottles now, even zero beer with low or no alcohol, or low ABV wine, and of course cold brewed hand ground coffee beans tastes amazing :) Green tea can taste amazing if you brew it at 175 F for 1 min, then rebrew it a few more times :) You can drink coffee & tea with nothing added :) In many locals water is dangerous to drink, so filtering it then boiling it before making coffee or tea helps a lot. One of my most popular blog posting ever was about the Good, the Bad & the Ugly of Boiling Water. 

Now they want to have you talk to your doctor about Ozempic, the latest anti-diabetic injection pen, so they want you to talk to your doctor about something you saw in one of their ads featuring odd people dancing around like children doing strange things without teaching you one fact of any kind about the drug or how it works or what it does in your body, but the people in the video are smiling like they just won a lottery, & are euphoric & look deranged or confused. About half the people I work with take Ozempic shots. 

I think the pharmaceutical commercials are the funniest thing I have ever seen, but they are also annoying because all they do is put the brand name word in someone's mind so they next time they are at a doctor's appointment they ask their doctor about this drug name, when the doctor only has about 10 minutes with them, & doesn't really know very much about the patient or the drug or the conditions for which the drug is prescribed to treat & has little or no idea about how to cure the disorder of the patient with diet & exercise or healthy lifestyle changes. 

Will You Rember, what is Worth Remembering at the End of Life

 Did you know that when people become really old and near death, they don't remember what they did for work, how much money they made, they only remember the people they loved & cared about. Anything of real value in this life is also priceless, worth defending at any cost, as all people & animals & nature are precious & special and worthing of being defended by people who care about other people, animals & nature like Meg & I.

You tell me what is important to remember? What do the victims of the War in the Ukraine remember about people they loved senseless slain for political nonsense? What do victims of rape or murder remember worth remembering, the torment, the pain, the suffering, when a serial killer murders young women as sport, what happens to their families? 

Do you know that my little sister Erika was killed making a snow angel during a fluke snowstorm, when a young teen driving his first car with bald tires was trying to drive home from working at the grocery store as a bagger his first job, he made it most of the way up the hill past my parents' house before losing control & sliding back down the hill, over the curb, as Erika sat up from making a snow angle the bumper of his car hit her with thousands of units of energy, causing severe brain damage. She was on life support for 6 months, during which time her brain surgeon died in a freak skiing accident in the backcountry area of Snoqualmie Ski Restore in the Western Cascade Mountain range, just east of Seattle Washington. 

My parents had to pull the plug, & for years my father went to work with his buddy Allan, who recently told me "He would just sit at his desk with his face in his hands, crying so much a pool of tears would form on his desk warping the paper documents in front of him." This went on for some time until he closed the business & filed bankruptcy. I saw all of this from Heaven & before I could even ask God behind me for permission to go help this family, I was being born & remember all of it vividly, as if I had been here before but paradoxically felt unable to fly around without effort like I was just able to do in heaven before taking a human body & becoming me, the one writing this posting. 

Can you imagine the pain of all the victims of all bad things in the world. Surely that is too much for any person to bear, but God knows all of it, about everything, without exclusion he literally knows your inner heart motivations, about all in all realms, as in nothing can ever be hidden from God, & no entity or any kind superior to God, as God reigns supreme as the master creator of all in all realms of existence, Amen. God is the only being that I trust completely for a long list of reasons with ample extensive evidence and logical reasoning, because I have been burned by other people, betrayed, cheated, stolen from, hit, hurt, attempts to kill me, I have been tested like a weathered flag near the sea in so many ways it can hard to convey the feeling of it with words alone, without experiencing it. 

I do not know what it's like to be someone else either. I never tell other people how to live because I could never know enough about them to give edifying advice, other than to drink enough water to stay hydrated & engage in regular physical activities to stay physically active & mentally fit & emotionally healthy. Being kind & polite to other people & thinking of other people as better than yourself, these are wise ideas shared with me. Try to keep your mind engaged so that it does not decline with age, so you stay mentally sharp until you die of whatever cause of your death someday in the future, when no one knows their time. My god-cousin Brandon died of brain tumors as an 8-year-old boy, not everyone gets a long life, & it was not his fault. 

Consider every day alive a precious gift, special & amazing, look for that silver liner in all circumstances & situations, even failure can be an amazing teacher if you consider how you messed up, then how to not do that again, adapt your strategy & move forward with incorporated learning from that previous failure so you do not make that kind of mistake again, that is intelligent. Insanity is doing the same thing over & over again expecting a different outcome. We all have to move on, which is why I love the topic of energy in mobility, it helps people go places, so they can shove more life into their finite time alive, the same reason that Meg & I are going on vacation to Osaka, Japan later this year, because it can be highly mentally emotionally & socially engaging to travel abroad, especially learning Japanese on Duo Lingo app on our iPhones. Mizu Doko Deska, or Water Please as an example.

 Evil is the absence of God, when man worships himself or Satan or Lucifer who seeks with an army of demons to steel from people, to kill people, to ruin people, to cause people to hate, hurt, kill one another senselessly, killing in the name of do what thou wilt, an evil expression that the devil wants you to echo & say out loud so that you live YOLO you only live once, with a blatant disregard for other people & safety of animals or nature, as many polluting companies focus so much on endlessly maximizing profit even by merger & Acquistion destruction of the original business, the way Apple & Samsung ate RIM's lunch even though the blackberry was a smartphone as early as 1997. 

RIM could have become more profitable than Apple, Alphabet & Samsung combined, but their arrogant self-absorbed leadership never thought people would care about apps, those profit generating mobile apps that created trillions of dollars in sales worldwide year after year becoming more popular as more people get a smartphone or their next one. 

Using their cleverness at the expense of others, most polluters are evil idolators of money or profit & are greedy worshipers of hell & kingdom of hell & its evil leader Lucier the Devil who disobeyed God & was kicked out of Heaven & sent to Gehena for trying to steal worship from God, who banished Satan & 1/3 of the Angles who followed Satan, to hell, but oddly it also says in the Holy Word that Satan is the prince of the air of this world, perhaps explaining why toxic air pollution of so many kinds so common & pervasively exacerbating climate change & global warming making storm systems of all kinds more damaging & dangerous & deadly. 

Not only to people but to infrastructure & building & knocking out power & internet, flooding peoples lands, lighting burning down forests & huge swaths of California where tens of thousands of homes were burned to the ground recently. Who are you? Who are you serving? Are you serving yourself, because if you are, that is foolish. 

No one person has all the money, or all the answers and all people are integrally dependent on most other people for their survival or ability to live with food, air & water. Think of the 3/3/3 rule, you can survive about 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water & 30 days without food, not that any of those are good ideas, though fasting or starving yourself & drinking more water for 5-21 days helps many obese adults with Type 2 diabetes to lose weight & cures them of diabetes, they no longer need anti-diabetic medications, the fasting resets their bodies. Research the True North Center in California. 

Travel on turbine high bypass efficient turbine jet fueled aircraft anywhere in the world in about a day, or in your car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, scooter, bicycle or e-bike, or electric kick scooter or whatever Segway gliding, there are ways to get around like riding a diesel fueled bus, taking an electric or diesel fueled railway at stations, urban rail systems, even underground subways like that. How about a hyperloop that goes faster than airplanes. 

Wearable helicopters that make you like Inspector Gadget. Paramotors like a E-bike in the sky under a polymer fabric wing tethered by thin strong synthetic rope lines to the harness holding the rider & engine powered propulsion fan backpack setup. Lime rent on the fly, Uber or Lift, there are so many ways, even ZIPCAR rentals, you can book a car reservation via an app, get a ride to the airport, get food delivered via Grubhub or similar, Amazon same day delivery, amazing, the internet enables entirely new ways of operating that were never previously possible. 

We are living in the future & if you have a hard time believing me, consider making or taking a phone call using an Apple Watch like Dick Tracy or Iron Man, amazing, just short the portable fusion reactors that fit in a chest warn electric panel to power the plasma ion engines so you fly around & keep up with the birds as they look at you &^ wonder in their own special way how a person is flying like a bird, it's just on the horizon like World War 3.

ER epigenetic reprogramming which will allow complete age reversal technology to become the bestselling product in human history by giving anyone the ability to buy back time alive younger, healthier & stronger, that means literally curing all diseases if you apply ER ART repeatedly for ten thousand dollars per round, some billionaires in their 60's & 70s will become biologically 23 again, but not like 23&Me which went bust recently, as in bankrupt. 

Zero the Number # Was Forbidden Taboo & Illegal for Much of Human History

 An unrealistic expression almost of critical essential axiom importance to base 10 math in STEM subjects, & for interacting with the Texas Instruments TI83+ Silver Edition Graphing Calculator that made it from my sophomore year of high school to graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. I have a made in Japan Mechanical Pencil that made it all that way from grade 10 to graduating college, one of my favorite writing instruments, blue ergonomic well made with great precision, combining pencil & paper with that graphing calculator made it possible to get through all algebra classes, calculus, Boolean logic, computer science python programming, basic, C-sharp, C++, computer tech, information technology, toxicology, ecology, chemistry, physics, all the way into graduate level 500+  courses including Pre-Med to understand physiology & medicine, especially for fitness exercises, how to build muscle mass, becoming stronger, to burn longer, to keep going even during the hardest darkest parts, to become faster, smarter, slightly older, slightly wiser, & incredibly even a way to find peace through faith in Christ Jesus & God the father master creator of all in all realms, who taught me to love myself & forgive people who have wronged me, to forgive myself for my wrongs & sins, to be more loving to my wife & all other people, to fix & repair broken relationships, to make beautiful interactions with other people plausible, then possible to my utter and sheer amazement the kindness of random strangers showing me loving kindness, it brings me to tears thinking about it. 

Zero is a planar slice of a perfect sphere O imaging arraying it about its axis in X Y Z, a circle becomes a sphere & now think of the electron orbits around the nucleus of atoms mostly filled with empty space making everything see-through to a gamma camera for example, like those airport security scanners which are effectively like a color CT scan through you & your baggage. So why would zero the number be prohibited for so much of human history if its a powerful integer tool for unit conversions in STEM & even budgeting & accounting important for nearly every government, every business, every person with income & expenses, how could they invest or save money without zero to denote tens places in larger numbers. It might even sound impossible to do modern basic math of any kind without zero, after all ten or 10 made of one 1 & zero 0, so the zero denotes the total of the base 10 count from 0-9 moving on to 11 & then 20 also just a two 2 with a zero, & so forth. 

Black marks on the screen, letters, your brain makes sense of it magically, automatically, if you read English you can read & try to make sense of what I am saying in these blog postings. Why was zero banned for most of human history? How to zero become such an integral part of arithmetic math & science & aviation & research, of quantification of almost anything that seems partially impossible without the use of the number zero which either means nothing or denotes the next 10th place in larger numbers, like 10, 100, 1000 or 10,000, or 100,000 or 1,000,000 (million) or 1,000,000,000 (billion) or 1.000,000,000.000 (trillion) its bigger than you or me or all of us, numbers can become infinitely big especially with hyperinflation of common currencies fiat like the US dollar or Euro or RMB which tend to gradually progressively lose their buying power with time as all such currencies tend to fail sooner or later via quantitative easing to increase the supply of money, which government with national debt tend to do in order to keep their economies going, since no one elected to public office wants a great depression during their time in office as they would never get re-elected if that happen, so they are willing to do almost anything to keep the party happening even if that means borrowing from future generations to pay existing, current & past debts accumulated through wasteful spending programs that Elon Musk & DOGE Department of Government Efficiency are systematically dismantling because the USA had more than 450 federal programs & many were effectively doing nothing & getting paid for doing nothing, moneys paid to them increasing US national debt, such that effectively DOGE a profit loss audit of the US Government which was last conducted in 1951. 

RIM Research in Motion (Blackberry Phones) iPhone & Android Apps Ate Their Lunch

 With a giant lead, RIM could have become Apple in terms of ongoing revenue, market capitalization, profits, something the iOS App Store created by moving billions of dollars of polished cheap apps to iPhones starting in 2007, but really not until 2009 when more of the bugs were worked out with AT&T wireless 3G/ 4G LTE early on mobile broadband to enable later iteration of iPhones to work well on the go, with iMessages almost replacing standard text messaging between iPhone iOS users, works in MacOS & and iPads too, so you log in once as an apple user and you can get all your messages of either kind on your MacBook, iMac, iPad, iPhone & incredibly even on Apple Watches since Series 1 & they are up to Series 9 or have Pro versions too :) 

I have long nagged about Apple taking away the 1/8 inch stereo headphone jack on iPhone, for switching from lightning to USB-C like everything else, though that actually makes sense, then for the longest time sealing in the first part to fail so that users could not easily change the battery in their Apple products after a few years of use when the failing lithium cobalt carbon polymer battery held down with adhesive polymer strips inside the CNC aluminum body of iPhone. 

Or having to apply liberal amounts of isopropyl alcohol to MacBooks to soften the battery adhesive of the old weak battery to remove it without causing it to catch on fire, something that many repair techs have experience with punctured LiPO batteries that vent with flame & emit huge amounts of nasty toxic smelly smoke from the burning cobalt, carbon, flammable electrolyte, think Boeing 787 Battery Fires on a small scale, but many also catch fire will overcharged plugged into the charger all night, since charging from 90% to 100% accelerated battery damage loss of capacity 10X faster, so where in the setting can you set the charge to top to 80% max for long life battery preservation? 

No they don't offer that feature in settings, no one does, not on smartphones, because the number one reason people buy a new phone is because their old one has weak battery & diminished battery life per charge cycle. Many hobbyist who use LIPO batteries in wireless model aircraft know that LIPO prone to swelling & catching fire eventually. Essentially common rechargeable lithium ion batteries have to employ 6 different technologies to reduce risk of thermal runaway when the dendrites that form from side reactions end up perforating the electrode seperator film & shorting the anode & cathode, which creates heat like a smoke vaporizer for vape fluid, but the fluid vaporizing here as flammable electrolyte, which causes pressure inside the lithium polymer battery to increasing, causing the mylar film inclosure to swell or puff up. 

Ask yourself, how can you change the batteries in Apple Air Pods in 3-5 years when the original batteries no longer hold a charge for very long & run out of power much more quickly then when they were new. Oh, you have to carefully cut the AirPod open with a heated ultrasonic knife in an argon glove box in a painstaking expensive producer that costs more than replacing the Air Pods with new ones, so almost no one does this. They are made in Hong Kong by a Hearing Air manufacturer & sonic welded closed hermetically sealed, so a total pain in the ass to open without breaking everything inside. Well designed Apple, that is not device repair friendly AirPods by anyones definition. Surely Apple is not alone in sealing wireless earbuds closed to keep moisture out, earwax too :) 

Nearly all makers of wireless earbuds sonic weld them closed, since that makes them smaller & lower mass or lighter than a similar design made of CNC machined or 3D printed metal finish machined & screwed together with gaskets for good moisture sealing, though the high end watch makers do so, so I know Apple could make AirPods with changeable batteries, but obviously its more profitable to sell new AirPods & have the old ones become endless e-waste which is steel not feasible to recycle because of how all those different materials are mixed so tightly in something like an AirPod. Perhaps if Gold & Copper & Magnet Prices rise high enough, it would make teardown scrap recycling old AirPods more feasible or profitable for some third party or God Forbid that Apple creates its own e-waste mineral non-ferris metal & rare earth element magnet recovery robotic facility mass reduce AirPods into their constituent materials without catching fire. 

How could BlackBerry & RIM with a 1997 head start in mobile electronics fall behind Apple & Samsung in the Smartphone market, when in many ways Blackberry by RIM was the first big mover & sales leader up until 2006. They sat on their hands selling the same sorts of hardware while Apple & Samsung & Google Android were in a fierce global competition to innovate mobile software, apps, & hardware, with endless new innovation & iterative improvements in every iPhone launched with magic technology as they call it, funny or not, it is usually well polishing in iPhones & their App Store much more secure then the Android App Store which is like the Wild West with spyware & sketch apps of all kinds by comparison. Android is security loose & Apple is obsessed with protecting user privacy, almost complete opposites. I am almost entirely Apple hardware for compute at home & on the go. 

The ringconn smart-ring & my watch collection are not Apple, though I rock a Series 8 apply watch right wrist as a super overkill fitness tracker + messages & phone calls like Dick Tracy of the aforementioned science fiction cartoon. I also play STEAM on an ASUS Windows gaming laptop for CS2 lately in fits & bursts randomly, 15-30 minutes at a time, though sometimes for a few hours to blow off steam :) RIM & Blackberry are still around in 2025, just not like they were before. It was regular people, non-business users, for casual and pleasure playing games on their iPhones that Apps on the iOS App Store sell by the billion & usually only a dollar or two, often free versions are available with ads, or similar. 

Apple Car Play means I can jack my iPhone into the dash & my car stereo takes or makes phone calls, touch free, iPhone in a cubby, I can keep my eyes on the road, driving a car highly visual, so voice based phone calls, I can think enough to do both at the same time, I focused to turning my brain on more, so have a cup of coffee & work out doing exercises that make you hot & sweaty a couple times per week to improve cerebral blood flow & your metabolism & metabolic health so you can think faster also. 

Hyperreal Now, Welcome to the Fourth Industrial Revolution

 Notice perfect looking women in ads, the images of these real women have been photoshopped or edited on computers to make their eyes look bigger, skin look perfect, makeup perfect, to produce better than perfect biology or unreal beauty that is impossible in nature. Girls & boys & men & women take in these perfected tuned images and store them in their brains as what a perfect person looks like, then become miserable because they never meet anyone like that of any age in reality, because no nature real person look like the photo edited models in those ads. 

Generation AI can make anything you tell it too, in terms of computer images, used in print of many kinds like news paper, magazines or books with color photos printed, but on websites and apps like social media, these commercial AI or artificial intelligence built into iPhone or Windows or part of X as Grok, many example of Open AI chat GPT, or similar LLM chatbots, "Make me look like an astronaut in space" then it creates an image of you in a space suit in lower Earth orbit, then shows you a few options of images created by artificial intelligence on the server or cloud compute platform, like AWS from Amazon, Microsoft Azure, hardware accelerated AI from NVIDIA gpu based super computers, or similar ASIC bitcoin miners, there are so many ways to use AI to translate while traveling abroad. 

An iPhone with local sim code can translate Japanese menus into English easily in the camera mode or with Translate App included, they can also help you understand what someone is saying to you in Japanese so you can hear their question in English then tells you how to reply in Japanese, so aids in cross cultural social interactions to speed up your IO at a store or restaurant while traveling abroad, & reduces confusion between you the patron & the shop owners by aiding in first person communication improvement. 

I have used Google Translate in many different ways to talk with someone who does not speak English in first person, so we look at the screen & each type a replay translated, and slowly build a discussion without a language barrier or a reduction of such. You hold the internet & World Wide Web in your hands with smartphones, GPS or any of the other 5 global satellite nav systems, Google Maps, Apple Maps, amazing even on or over CarPlay in newer cars, stream music on one side while seeing mapping, routing or directions on the other side of the center dash screen, even on our Corolla Sedan LE Hybrid center display when iPhone plugged into the USB-A outlet on the dash, though it can connect over bluetooth also, but sounds worse & slower or more laggy like that. 

When a person uses a computer to access wikipedia, they have become a cyborg hybridizing their brain with the computer or smartphone. In some ways people have become less intelligent because they can look up anything within seconds on their smartphone, but many do not think to learn this way & mostly play games or doom scroll news or use apps like social media such as FaceBook. I stopped using Facebook 5 years ago, but had to log in in order to use our Meta Quest 2 VR headset for Les Mills body combat workouts, which took a little bit to work out how to log in after not doing so, since my new phone number did not match the phone number on file for 2FA security, to get a text code to log in, even though I know the login name & password, was able to recover access by contacting customer support fast through the Quest 2 VR chat support functions. 

I got a comfy head strap battery upgrade & silicon sweat proof face gasket, since the fabric on foam included absorbs sweat easily & I get really hot & sweaty doing the Les Mills body combat workouts, the app was also recently upgraded with a free download, thankfully because the app cost over $40 with tax originally, a far cry from most smartphone apps which cost a dollar or so, excluding Duolingo annual subscriptions or something premium like that. Using the Meta Quest to watch YouTube in Big Screen Mode makes it look like I am watching a 300 inch screen, unreal, amazing, almost anywhere over a connection to StarLink satellite based internet for example. James Web Space Telescope & Hubble before it, we are already living in the future. 


Weight Loss Surgery Alternative No Cost Totally Free

Weight loss surgery risky & expensive, but all of that can be avoided by simply water-only fasting for many days, & no lose skin at the end even after great amounts of body fat loss. 

There are many ways to approach a fasting session, but starting out with light doses of organic veggie soup or bone broth can easy the metabolic crisis as you body switches from operating on glucose to operating on ketone bodies made by burning your body fat for body energy. 

Fasting causes weight loss because it burns your body fat to make body energy in the absence of food intake. Many people get relief from arthritis, allergies, high blood pressure, joint pain, inflammation, many health markers improve while fasting. 

Disease caused by dietary excess are amenable to treatment by multi-day water-only fasting, as widely evidenced by the Russian Academy of Sciences & True North Foundation, in the Science of Fasting video on YouTube for example. 

Almost no doctors know about fasting & think of starvation as toxic. This could not be further from the truth, for overeating the basis of dietary diseases of civilization & that is proven with evidence based science. Fasting by only drinking water for many days was widely practiced in all human cultures worldwide, is part of many human religions for thousands of years, its only become weird or taboo to not eat in the last 100 years, during the same interval that prescription medications became increasingly widely prescribed to treat diseases & disorders caused by dietary excess. 

Oddly many people who eat UPF until they are fat & sick are fat & sick because the UPF are nutritionally missing critical & essential micronutrients. The missing micronutrients make them constantly hungry, their body motivated to try & get those essential vitamins from diet, but without enough real natural food, eating too much UPF never satisfies them & they are always hungry. By adding sugars to foods, people are able to eat 40% more per serving, this is why so many restaurants sell soda pop with food. The soda & food industry in America uses the 1950s tobacco industry playbook that they used to sell toxic cigarettes while talking about this or that doctor that prefers this or that brand of cigarette in older banned ads prior to 1994. 

No money, actually you can save money by not eating food for 5 to 21 days, make sure to drink more water, high quality pure water, RO filtered water low in TDS or total dissolved solids, known as water-only fasting, it can help to take pinches of salt, drinking bone broth on the first few days to ease into fasting longer duration, by day 3 the body will burn stored body fat for energy & this continues for up to 21 days. Incredibly no lose skin even if you lose many kilograms or pounds or stones of body fat, this cool process known as Autophagy causes the body to scrub itself & purify itself, purging cancer cells, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, poisons, toxins, heavy metals, chemicals, all are eliminated in poo & pee that smells horrible because of what your body clears out while water-only fasting. 

Not eating for 5 days might sound extreme, consider the 3-3-3 rule. You can live 3 minutes without air, about 3 days without water & about 30 days without food. In this way air, then water, then food are the most important things for your ongoing life or survival or thriving as a person.

Obese, overweight, want to lose stubborn hard to lose body fat, spare tire, butt fat, white fat around your organs, cause your liver to shrink back to best size for best function, water-only fasting activates survival genes called Sertuins, present in human DNA since ancient history when food scarcity was more common during winter & spring. People would fatten up on purpose when food was plentiful, then ration food & end up fasting towards the end of the year before more seasonal only food became available again. 

Pharma, medicine, society, culture, they stopped promoting fasting because it can be nearly impossible to make profit telling other people to stop eating & drink more water for many days in order to reverse diseases & disorders caused by dietary excess of sugars, starches & carbohydrates that are super common in the world & around the world today & behind the kidney failure epidemic, diabetes epidemic & obesity epidemic & many other stroke, clotting, embolism, heart disease, dementia, ADD, ADHD, Alzheimer, some cancers, cancer cells proliferate in a higher blood glucose environment, & eating too many sugars, starches or carbs a great way to cause high blood sugar levels, it also drives up blood pressure & make your heart work harder, night sweats from large dinners too close to bedtime, breakfast made of industrial ultra processed junk cereals & sugar added food like substances, not eggs & bacon like the past. 

If your fat the extra body fat that is making you fat is made of stored carbs, starches & sugars. In agriculture to fatten livestock animals the farmers feed them grains, so eating excess grains caused obesity & obesity caused chronic inflammation & pain & stiffness & joint soreness that water fasting for many days turns off almost entirely. More than 10,000 different biochemical processes are improved when water-only fasting beyond 3 days. 

This information is for obese & fat people looking for weight loss & health improvement, to undo damage from confusion based diet choices bombarded by ads from industrial food companies telling them inaccurate things that soda or pop or Oreo cookies or similar UPF junk food is healthy in moderation, but they add leptin full feeling hormone blocking chemicals to these industrial processed foods so you can eat more without feeling full. 

Most of these UPF are also missing many micronutrients & vitamins present & easily bioavailable in real Whole Foods like apples, bananas, chicken, beef, fish, dairy, veggies, salad greens, berries, nuts, seeds, real spices, food from the outside edges of a grocery store or supermarket, perishable food, like butter not veggie oil, tallow & lard are better for you than industrial GMO seed oils sold as canola oil or vegetable oil or rape seed oil, that cheep cooking oil one of the most toxic sources of. trans fats, along with hydrogenated cotton seed oil known as crisco, are cardio toxic & proven so with evidenced based science increasingly showing this worldwide. 

This posting to help people lose weight & understand that eating the Whole Foods Plant Based Diet how so many actors & actresses are able to get in peak physical conditions for movie roles, they pay personal trainers, combined with the WFPBD of real food, physical activities like hiking, swimming, even walking after dinner for 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 minutes.

If you go from being inactive to regularly active start out slow one time per weeks & gradually increase your duration as your body becomes stronger & more fit, & perhaps hiking poles are safer if you jump into hiking without having done so in years, but if you already have back pain, hip pain, knee pain, or angle or foot pain, hiking poles can take up to 35% of pressure off those areas & increase stability when going back down the mountain where most of the pain happens, but such poles also make you more stable or increase balance when you are climbing also. Pools & swimming make you almost weightless & are the lowest joint impact way of exercising without causing pain if you already have joint pain, the near zero gravity effect of body buoyancy in a pool means your muscle output increases without putting gravity stresses on your joints. 

Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Annette Bosworth, Dr. Alan Goldhammer, Dr. Sten Ekberg, on YouTube there are many people, many good meaning socially morally ethically intelligent doctors trying to teach you the truth about how the human metabolism works with different foods, carbs, proteins & fats. The human body does not require carbs, it requires protein & fats, but so many foods taste better with sugar added, or similar sweetness from fruit or fruit juice added. In small doses a bit of sugar does not harm you. It's only when people abuse carbs, starches, bread, rice, pasta, soda, sugar, in excess, that dietary diabetes known as pre-diabetes or Type 2 diabetes becomes a problems. 

No amount of metformin, Ozempic or anti-diabetic medication can emulate the curative solution from water-only fasting for 5 days. If you are taking insulin to control blood sugar & want to water-only fast, you have to cut your insulin doses in half, then in half again, then go to almost none & then zero & make sure to use a CGM like Dexcom G7 or Abbot Freestyle to keep an eye & thoughts on safer blood sugar levels between 70 and 140, you might need to drink juice or eat honey if you go lower than 70 to prevent a fatal low, but less than 250 calories daily will not kick you out of Autophagy, so consult a doctor or nurse familiar with diagnostic water only fasting, like the people at True North in California, a medical fasting clinic. 

Fire Stick in HDMI of LED Projector turned into a Smart TV onto Drywall as Screen

 Better than our older 4K laggy VIZIO smart TV from 2018, the slow UI of that TV excruciatingly slow or very laggy to use, it reminds me of early android versions like 1.6 running on low brow computer hardware, though with some patience it can stream YouTube or Amazon Prime videos ok & with HDMI the X Box One or XBONE from 2014 still games well in 2025 :) 

Connecting a computer to a TV was the idea behind what became Smart TV long before such was available. Some older rap songs say "I just put a computer in my glove compartment, as in the dashboard utility storage space in the wheel well of the passenger side of the dashboard that opens with a button press & draw that tilts open, where the owner's manual typically resides for automobile or cars or trucks or SUV. 

The $20 Amazon Fire Stick plugs directly into the projectors HDMI, while a power cable + multi-outlet splitter sends power to the projector 60 watts & to the power adapter & cable of the fire stick, an extra power outlet remains for other future experiments in LED projector imaging onto drywall smart TV action watching content or similar. Probably the best bang for the buck $20 I have ever spent on tech. The include Fire Stick remote control enables me to turn the projector on & off & adjust the settings & came by a clicked option already linked to my Amazon Prime account & took just minutes to get it fully functioning to our amazement & continues to dazzle us daily with movies & more. 

Computer Electronics Digital COTS Technology Information Explosion

Fathoming how much computers have changed human society today requires a look a history where things have become so much more advanced now than just 60 years ago. Storing data on HDD or SSD about 20 years ago cost 20 thousand times more than today, just pennies per gigabyte lately with 8TB hard drives & even cheaper on bulk storage tape drives to archive data, while using lasers to engrave quartz can provide long term data integrity at a price premium & still niche in terms of low volume hardware for laser engraving quartz cubes with big data not exactly a diffused or widespread or widely available technology, not something you can buy on Amazon.com or Ebay or Alibaba

Big Data, Cloud Computing a Data Centers, large commercial buildings with lots of diesel storage for backup power generators, huge power connections since all the servers & chilling equipment suck down megawatts of electricity converted to heat & data movement. If you see a weird commercial building with lots of HVAC chillers on the roof, that is probably a data center. Sometimes they build data centers into the basements of other buildings, usually expensive high-rise buildings, or skyscrapers. Spotting vast amounts of HVAC on top of a building to locate data centers akin to measuring how much sulfuric acid an economy consumes to measure its size. They are both analytical exercises. 

Your brain can do any of an almost unlimited number of things & computers are similarly a versatile information tool, where any kind of software can do almost anything people can conceptualized with python programming for example a way of writing software like ideas that runs on computer hardware like human brains. Many kinds of comparisons can be made between the human as an intelligent agent & computers that have AGI in the future, but many comparisons between computers & people have already been made throughout history, since it's the inner magic of human minds connected that enable computers to exist, reflected in both the software code & hardware, where an LLM might seem like GROK magic made of fast language statistics with bot crawler web scanning for supporting evidence, sort of like a digital sidekick when using X if you ask Grok about your posts. LLM only simulate intelligence & do not understand anything like human or AGI sentient machines of the future. 

People told me as a kid that they would be reading about me in the future, which makes me laugh because I have published more than 1500 blog posting & vastly more posts on X & Facebook back then & myspace before that, plus I publish YouTube videos & have a premium YouTube subscription for ad free viewing.

When your brain using a computer, it takes data from your eyes & too & from your fingers or voice, then the digital machines with LLM like Siri or Alexa or Ok Google listen for the wake word, when you say it, the wake word, these Voice Assistants allow all sorts of computer functions to be accessed with your natural language with ongoing support for more languages forthcoming or getting better now. 

Some pundits make fun of Windows from Microsoft & chips from Intel calling some PC's Wintel suggesting that Intel & Microsoft made weird deals to dominate the PC market & take it from IBM or Hewlett-Packard, while Apple makes iMac & Mac Pro + Mac Book & Mac Book Pro & even their own silicon designs like A18 in iPhone 16 Plus or M2 in Meg's Mac Book Air or my Mac Book Pro. This 2014 Acer Aspire runs 35 watt Intel Core i5 chip with Iris graphics that are totally ok, while a heat pipe & finned heatsink pass chip heat into copper so the cooling fan can blow air to such chip heat away & blow it into the room, some gaming laptops with 200 watt power supplies can pump out warm air fast enough to act like a personal space heater during winter for example. 

My Asus F17 gaming laptop from 2020 has beefy heat sinks & dual blow fan setup with dustless fan tech & giant screen, its not portable like the MacBook but it sports NVIDIA discrete 1650 GPU to pump CS2 on Steam with enough gusto for smooth gaming action, where this older Acer can't handle CS2 very well by comparison. Business laptops are usually power efficient with good battery life while gaming laptops offer desktop class performance in smaller packages that are also more energy efficient than a gaming desktop. 

We have been using iMac's since 2015, the latest were purchased on sale off cycle at Costco. I use my last intel iMac as the head unit for the Xtool laser engraver & for our Prusa Mini 3D FDM filament printer, and with our older Brother B&W laser printer, and sometimes to make YouTube videos with content in iMovie taken over a cable from my iPhone 14 or SE2 previously.

Schools even in Middle School, especially during COVID19, requires children to have online access & caused a huge chip shortages as many people had to work from home over internet & a computer, while esports & gaming have become more profitable than every other form of media, more than all of TV & all movies combined with newspaper & magazines & book sales, its gaming that caused most GPU technology to advance, while the fastest HBM memory now used for artificial intelligence simulations & AI training models for LLM & other emerging AI projects & products & services, like Apple Intelligence on iPhone 16 that combines all sorts of fun features into the camera, so you can read signs & menus in your local language when traveling abroad without even launching the Translate App. Social media crushing legacy media companies.

Did you know that News Papers were made using UNIX computers with graphics processing & internet as far back as the 1960's, then laser engraved onto nickel alloy sheets for high volume offset web mass printing technology, proving that with deep pockets advanced technology available much earlier in history before cost optimization and mass production of the same or similar. Consider the NASA curiosity rover on Mars vs products from Blue Origin or SpaceX that are similar, but how these private aerospace companies are more nimble & cost efficient than NASA a bloated government funding debacle agency that is able to produce amazing technology without worrying about profitability, such that when satellite batteries are made they cost more than a new luxury car, the satellite batteries can be $100,000 as a power storage system for space satellites that cost hundreds of millions. Some poor counties have entire economies worth less in terms of market capitalization than the GPS satellite fleet that provides satellite navigations functions to automobiles, & many other devices or COTS. 

I was working retail when I encountered a billionaire who told me she had a flat screen installed at the foot of her bed in 1964 that was custom made by Phillips for $60 million, that they later commercialized and mass produced, launching for $45K at first, then down to $5K before TFT LCD LED TV with greater brighter & much greater power efficiency enabled smart TV to push plasma TV into the realms of VFD & Nixie Tubes or Low Pressure Sodium Vapor Lamps, exceptional legacy technology, that only the latest Samsung Super AMOLED Ultra Plus Premium OLED on smartphones bests in terms of color quality, true black higher contrast & vivid colors & fast switching or refresh rate like 240 hertz for buttery smooth scrolling on the latest Samsung Galaxy model or iPhones with the same technology.  

iPhone 16 Plus (Pink) $1023.76 Apple Store 128GB

iPhone 16 Plus Cost + Protection Kit Analysis

$1024 iPhone 16 Plus 128GB PINK
$16 TPU clear case + screen & lens protectors
-$130 Trade in value iPhone 12 mini mint green"

$910 Total Kit Cost Minus Trade-in 

Estimated use case for 4 generations or 5 years, so $182 per year
Cellular Data Plan on Mint Mobile $210 per year ($180 + taxes) 
Annual Cost of Phone + Data $392
Daily Cost of iPhone + Mint Mobile Data $1.07

$882 in 2022 iPhone 12 mini ordered on Apple's website & shipped to our home
$220 per year for 4 years or $0.64 per day cost

If we factor in the annual cost of both phones & DATA about $1.71 per day, or rounding up $2 per day to have very well-made Apple Smartphones, plus iPhone 16 Plus assembled in India not China :) 

Being very careful she never broke the iPhone 12 mini screen, dent or scratch the case, but the OEM battery of iPhone 12 mini now in June 2025 only about 50% of its original run time per charge or very weak, & with a smaller screen & software updates it was starting to perform slower & getting harder to read because of age related eye issues, and she used the iPhone with Apple Watch Series 9 & Dexcom G7 to track her blood glucose to manage Type 1 diabetes more carefully to prevent eye damage from high blood sugars & to keep from experiencing dangerous low blood sugar events that make thinking challenging similar to being very drunk in the sense that blood sugar lower than 50 can be very disorienting, so since getting the Dexcom CGM she has much better control of her blood glucose levels & was even able to do a modified broth based + water only fast for 21 days without few complications. 

If we consider the larger screen of 16 Plus, ongoing software updates, faster performance, better battery life, & essential use as the interface for G7 CGM functions, then a new iPhone every 4 or 5 years makes perfect rational sense. 

I am currently using iPhone 14 & Series 8 Apple Watch + RingConn Smart Ring & Apple Health over high speed Wi-Fi at home or 4G LTE or 5G wireless cellar data via Mint Mobile plan also, & figure a similar $2 per day or net cost of about $800 per year all said, since I wait 4 gens to upgrade smartphone, such that my next one God willing will be iPhone 18 in a couple years. 

No more lightning connector, the iPhone 14 will be the last one with lightning, iPhone 18 will come with USB-C just like her new iPhone 16 Plus. The technical specifications of these phones be that iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 14 or iPhone 16 Plus over on GSM Arena website are nothing short of modern marvels, effectively like putting a computer + digital camera + medical tracking device or health tracking interface, email, browsing, online shopping, publishing movies to YouTube directly, editing videos, picture texts or video texts, voice, data, navigation, routing, they combine the functions of more than 60 different devices into a CNC machined aluminum rounded rectangular shape with fun anodized colors & matching glass on back with screen OLED glass action for touch interface, the killer app of the smartphone UI the multi-touch, something that gives tablet computers an edge for content consumption, while the physical keyboard on a laptop for power users & for typing up blogs or other kinds of online publications the way I am writing this post on an Acer Aspire from 2014 that still works plugged into its power adapter cable, the 3 cell 18650 battery modules barely works for a few minutes as a short duration UPS to save files before a power outage causes a total loss of work. 


Come Change the Way My Heart Feels Lord Father God

 Life not only about constantly changing feelings, but also about listening to your heart where you have an intrinsic sense of right and wrong, such that God encoded into all people the knowledge of Good & Evil, so you always have a chance to turn away from evil thoughts, evil emotions, evil actions or evil choices & can always choose to do what is right even when no one else is looking or watching you. 

No one following you around at gunpoint telling you what to think or do or choose, you must then accordingly take personal accountability to make wise choices & learn from your mistakes & try not to repeat mistakes for the definition of insanity try the same things over and over again while expecting a different outcome. Consider where you are at now, where you want to be in the future, and what you need to do in order to meet all your obligations & duties while also enabling you to get to where you want, for that is a definition of wisdom or intelligence by comparison. 

Living in obedience unto God as did Christ Jesus about being thankful & acknowledging that you are like all other people, a flawed hypocrite constantly able to improve with greater understanding. Think of how a baby born knowing nothing & how we learn things about the world as we grow up, from other people like our mother & father at first, perhaps siblings, then other people's children at school or work or while engaged in recreational activities. 

We often as people unwittingly become more like people that we spend more time with. In the ways everyone is constantly learning things from other people, in a way mirroring how all things are connected in the biosphere of earth. Pollution morally wrong because it means a small number of people profit more by poisoning environments where our air, food & water come from & in this ways their PFAS or other industrial pollution enters everyone's bodies as forever chemicals proven to cause diseases of many kinds, making pollution immoral & wrong or highly unethical & against the public interest, & blasphemes the Lord because it says in the bible that polluters place profits above other people & God & are idolators who shall inherit nothing of the Kingdom of God & shall be punished for using their cleverness at the expense of other people, animals & nature which suffer because of the greedy idolators pollution emissions.
