Yet you would be hard pressed to find any vehicle sold ever in the United States that gets more than 50 miles per gallon in the real world. Sure, some PRIME by Toyota, if you feed them grid power kWh that drives up your electrical utility costs for your home, can get 77mpg in Rav4 Prime if route too and from work less than 20 miles each way, then you might only fill-up gas a few times per year, it will act like a BEV most of the time, but HEV for road trips of longer duration where no BEV can travel in a time efficient manner, without numerous lengthy stops for slow charging along the way, not real competitive to gasoline or diesel, hybrids or PHEV, bridge to better battery technology called Sodium Ion, Na-ion, coming out soon :)

In this stream of consciousness posts, the author shares a raw mental steam of ideas connected, but that is me saying that after playing with Grok on X formerly Twitter, a LLM chatbot that you can ask about your posts by clicking on its "Icon" in the upper right corner of a Tweet or X post // Elon Musk purchased Twitter but then renamed it X, then sold it, I liked Tweeting on Twitter more that making X posts on X, that seems more generic, less personal, sold out, insincere, less authentic, more commercial, less real, more imaginary or fugazi, but then again blah blah blah, who cares, do whatever you want, it is a free country, be yourself, think differently, welcome to America where we sold the American dream abroad to the highest bidder to hijack the US dollar and Economy of the United State of America, because we in power live in a tower and violate the constitution as a lifestyle of concentrating wealth and power with lobbyists writing new laws to deregulate the government extensively so that Amazon can run the worlds largest monopoly in 10 sectors mastering revenue 90 percent or more in the G20 not funny but true, feel blue knowing that, don't, you do not have to answer for what they are doing to concentrate wealth and power to an opulent minority of elite income earners like Jeff Beazos

Running to the Sea, most human cities are within 7 miles of a coastline!
Dangerous out there at sea, you need a big well-designed ship to weather the storms, backups for everything, spares, if you way out, away from a coast, it can takes days or weeks to reach land, you need money printed, food and water backups for weeks or months, you have to be able to fix your ship easily and have the materials and supplies and tools to do it, knowledge and skills, many attempt to go into the sea without adequate provision end up dying at sea, with a change of mind, to leave the life you've been used too, your surely not far behind, running to the sea, where the close are far, where life lives far below, where storm winds intensely blow, your running into the sea, but as a human, you are a forest creature, you breathe, speak, sleep, poo, pee, fart, you and I are land mammals animals called Homosapien. We eat plants and animals that eat plants, the biosphere cyclically recycles itself, its energy, all those valence electrons exchanging continually until entropy causes the warm heat death of temperature uniformity with zero difference between hot and cold exist to the complete absolute desolation of all the universe.

Imagine, you buy new tires, then over time the tread wears away, where did the tread go? Everywhere!
Hospitals without plastics seems unimaginable, cars, computers, food packages, how could the modern world of low speed impact bumpers and plastic dashboards, BMW even makes the oil pan out of plastic, Glock makes the lower out of Nylon 2, Toyota made the Intake manifold of the 2ZR-FXE in my 22 Corolla Hybrid Sedan LE out of polymer, that "Insulates the block" noting how aluminum intakes heat the incoming air and suck heat away from the head and block, like a giant heat sink, so there are inroads in hot engine parts to make out of ASA and other high temperature resistant plastics, but over time they break down becoming brittle and cracking, notice how carbon fiber epoxy effectively polymer stabilized fibers of carbon. Or how about glass fiber nylon, a very strong fiber reinforced plastic.
Polymers are big business as wire insulators, and how many wires do you think are in the world today. Plastics are non-conductive which means in a power tool they can form the housing without causing connections to short with the internal electronics, switches, brushless motor gear drive, battery connector and wires, safety switches, only works if battery connected correctly, and switch held, or similar. When tools were made of metal, more work and energy went into insulating the internal power electronics of older NiCD pack tools, long before A123 systems nano LFP made dope power tool batteries possible, today CATL of China leads the lithium way while people in the Andes of Peru that live near the lithium brine mining complexes suffer from polluted water and lost access to water, stollen and ruined by lithium operations owned by CATL and other Chinese multinational battery companies.
ai chatbot relationships exposed at fraud designed to trick users into suicide or killing other people
Toxic relationships with chatbots due to ai hallucination and no official law requiring guard rails, noting how they are often used as writing tools, crafty, creative, unusual ways of scraping web sources and compiling results into a compelling easy to follow narrative with bullet points and titles for sections, very academic, these ai assistances can really shine and summary creation of complex toxic, helping with researching anything.
A legal disclosure in small font at the bottom of the screen says the ai chatbot sometimes creates errors or presents factually inaccurate information, to be aware of these glitches and ai hallucinations that at times mix misinformation with facts in confusing hard to follow or understand ways, especially when coding, the include code verbosity that encodes misinformation into software frameworks also another kind of ai hallucination, or take Open Claw given full control of the user's computer then it helps them for a while, only to later on its own start deleting the contacts and files and data for no apparent reason.
Battery Electric Yard Tool Explosion Damages the Face & Upper Body of My Former Coworker Sam
It was a blower, a leaf blower, powered by a Lithium Ion battery pack, that was 10 years old. Sam from a 3rd world country in southeast Asia where they use everything until it breaks, then fix it, and keep using it, because they do not have a lot of money to buy new things, so they instead fix what they have and keep it going as long as possible.
He had no idea that the failure mode of NCA the kind in his battery electric blower, was venting with flame, and the battery pack was 56 volts, all those battery cells were stacked next to each other, causing thermal runaway like the Boeing Dreamliner Battery, causing heat and pressure to increasing inside the sealed housing, until the pressure and heat cause the plastic housing to expand, but in the warm moist air, that meant the contents of the battery catalyzed into an explosion that blew blue smoke and hot plastic shards into his face, neck, arms, torso, he had to be rushed to the hospital, and the burning tool dropped setting fire to his yard, which eventually reached a gas can and set fire to his house, causing a massive debacle that cost a fortune to fix, he eventually made a fully recovery.
I encourage him to litigate against the manufacture, there are supposed to be thermal fuses inside a large battery pack like that, that under failure conditions disconnect the cells from each other, to prevent a thermal runaway, it also required by law to have a BMS or battery management computer, that is a safety device for lithium ion batteries to disconnect then if they go too low voltage or too high voltage or short, to prevent lithium battery fires, which go very wrong when the battery pack a 1600 lbs NCA unit with 7000 cells in a Telsa model whatever the F, I hate Tesla for its horrendous customer service, and many Tesla drivers drive like BMW drivers, like they own the road more than other people, that they deserve to be on the road more than you, arrogant dick heads, who drive Tesla like sociopathic weirdos, who care only about themselves and their money and no one and nothing else.
My former coworker Geiger, was driving a fully loaded Tesla Model 3 at 7am on Inglewood Hill road in Redmond, on his way to work, with FSD activated, he was distracted reading, but had his hand on the wheel gently, all was fine, but suddenly it speed up and changed lanes into the oncoming lane, the car behind sped up block from reentering the lane of travel, now facing a car coming up the hill directly at it, it had no way out but to steer off the roadway, which ended up hitting the corner of a fence, made with a 4X8 pressure treated board, shoved up and back through the front window of the Model 3 and into the eye socket and brain of Mr. Geiger, who had to have 8+ reconstructive surgeries to fix his face, and made a mostly full recovery, incredibly. Elon Musk 10 years ago promised Tesla FSD would be Level 5 autonomy by 2026, yet even with the latest software its not more than L2.7 and only in best case situations, mostly on the freeway, mostly in fair weather.
Can Essential Oils Be Medication? Over the counter without bending over for expensive prescription drugs?
Since antiquity traditional medical practices used pure or absolute essential oils of botanicals, most plants, flowers, seeds, stems, bark, root, extracts, oils, not always edible plants, notice you can eat the fruit of a tree but not its trunk, wood is not edible in the usual sense of food, it does contain a lot of fiber, and one guy on YouTube made a series of recipes of Rice Crispies, with increasing amounts of sawdust added, at up to 15% his testers could not detect the sawdust, and in industrial food processing this is known as adding bulk with cellulose.
I am not selling Essential Oils or promoting their use or consumption, noting that almost all original Cologne for men or Perfume for women was made for mixes of essential oils with solvents like ethanol and water, base notes, high notes, middle notes, perfumery, olfactory sensation in the nasal bulb is the brains form of liquid gas chromatography, as molecules of things that smell strike the mucus covered nasal bulb, they have surface electrical activity and molecular shapes that plug into certain receptors producing electrical signals to your brain directly, thus smell one of the most intense of all senses, the smell of something can send someone back in their mind to where they first experienced that smell.
Usually, an essential oil contains thousands of molecules of different substances made by plants. The root vegetable carrot for example, contains more than 40,000 different natural chemicals. Then using an essential oil has something in common with eating real edge foods, border perishables of a grocery store, natural, organic, eggs, meat, dairy, nuts, seeds, salad, spices, salts, fruits, berries, veggies, food that has been part of the human diet for centuries or millennia. Not stuff sold on a shelf in a colorful box like commercial cereals, or snacks sold in plastic or mylar bags like most industrial so called potatoes chips. Mylar is plastic chemically vapor coated with aluminum to block light and oxygen, to improve the shelf life so the industrial seed oils in the UPF do not become rancid as quickly, which reducing financial loses of global tobacco giants that manufacture most of the UPF items that Americans eat.
Expensive Poison, Alcohol, Drinking Adult Beverage, Ethanol the Solvent Intoxicating, Spirits, Wine, Beer, a Giga Scale Business with Millions of Employees and Billions of Customers
Evidence increasing that ethanol the active ingredient in beer, wine and spirits, toxic because it breaks down into a carcinogen called acrylaldehyde, which damages cells in the liver, kidneys & brain, its also an excitotoxin stimulant that degrades sleep architecture, so that when people wake up the next morning after heavily drinking the night prior, they feel tired and sore, they did not get enough quality sleep. While drinking alcohol causes people to fall asleep initially by activating GABA receptors in the brain, it's the dehydrogenase enzyme that breaks ethanol into acetaldehyde, that causes all the problems, as ethanol itself similar to sugar just after initial metabolism, which means ethanol also damages the cell mitochondria, the basis of many diseases associated with chronic alcoholism and unhealthy diet choices, notice the mirror between alcohol and processed foods with added sugars.
If information becomes your Ecstasy, a novel beautiful visual, fantasy, escape, music, movies, gaming, shopping, pornography, banking, finances, investing, ai development, something for anyone, making the internet special and worth defending with Net Neutrality
You get to choose what you think, do, how to act, how you behave, but acting on every thought or impulse can go very wrong, become very painful or expensive, with a sexual impulse granted, you might get or give a viral STI or STD that become cancer long term.
Intoxication Errors
Or, you might spend your money like a drunken fool, only to later sober up and realize the grave mistakes you made while intoxicated. Bar fights, DUI based vehicle accidents, arguments that split relationships and end marriages. You get the idea.
Trusting Information Technology
So, if glowing rectangles called Screens of all kinds, capture people's attention, then does that mean they are sold on looking a glowing rectangle screen?
I make fun of apple for using the exact same corner radius on every rounded rectangle from every version of Apple Watch or iPhone or MacBook or iMac, they all have the exact same corner radius rounding of every corner, incredibly.
Rising Popularity of Drug Ecstasy or MDMA
Taking MDMA at a line dancing club in Texas in the 1980s made MDMA very populate such that by the late 1990s near Seattle, at my high school, a popular Friday night activity was going to a Rave, dropping E pills, dancing like there is no tomorrow, rolling, feeling high, happy, warm and fuzzy, MDMA not just a stimulate, it's also an empathogen, something that engenders empathy for others during its stimulation, so you feel connected to the people you are dancing with, in ways that normally only a mother feels bonding with her newborn baby.
UPD Bliss Point
Chemical hijacking mirrored in bliss point engineering industrial ultra processed snack foods, using psychometric information about sensory processing, a secular Jew invented and commercialized bliss point engineering, the exact combination of sugar, salt & fat, usually bad fats also, too much Omega 6 & 9 cheap seed oil.
Big Tobacco Make UPF Items
The overwhelming majority of UPF made by global tobacco giants who moved into Food when smoking became less popular in America, after the 1994 ban against marketing cigarettes to children with anthropomorphic characters like Joe Camel or the Marlboro Man.
Unhealthy American Diet
That makes 70% of items sold at grocery stores and supermarkets in America similar to engineered cigarette additive chemicals in the mother liquid sprayed at the speed of sound into Fluff or Expanded tobacco, 1/3 of the composition of a modern cigarette, which also 1/3 tobacco, but the last 1/3 reclaim, or what is swept up from the factory floor, which includes rate poop and machine solvents and oils.
No More Ad Revenue
Yes, when I took LSD in 2017 for first and only time, it shattered my mind, I have never been the same. I am more neurotic, less afraid, bolder and more willing to say what I think, even if it costs me, I am determined to tell the truth, share my thoughts, I do not care which company or NGO I upset, and regularly get death threats as a result. It was like turning the mental awake volume nob all the way up, gain to the maximum, I could hear and see things that seemed impossible because of normal brain filtering turned off under the influence of LSD, lysergic acid diethylamide, invented and popularized by Albert Hoffman a Swiss chemical engineering working for a large pharmaceutical company, who was bright and still given technical talks at age 102, which he attributed to eating lots of raw egg, not microdosing LSD as an antidepressant.
There are powerful special interests who hate me, in the literally sense of wanted to have me killed, and have let me know in a few obviously undeniable ways, including taking away AdSense from my blog, because I said something unpopular that upset and NGO associated with Google, or the parent company Alphabet inc. but of course they will not even tell me which of my more than 1000 posts are the one in question that violate the AdSense TOS or terms of service.
MDMA stoke risk, it raise blood pressure, a lot, especially if your dancing hot and sweaty and dehydrated from not drinking enough water, and from heat stroke, it can trigger a heart attack in older adults, like meth its chemically Schedule 2 prescription drug Desxoyn, that is right, methamphetamine a prescription drug, amid so many youth deaths from Fentanyl induced respiratory depression who stopped breathing or choked to death on their own vomit.
How do you know, what you know?
What you think you know probably missing a lot of it, reality, what is actually happening
Most people are unable to handle the truth about what is actually happening in the world
To summarize, the world is a deeply cringy unfair unreasonable evil place because of bad actors
Who becomes a bad actor? Someone who looks up to Lucifer as a role model, a deranged sicko, EVIL
Vladimir Putin and the War in the Ukraine, most people are aware of the War in the Ukraine, but they not away of how deranged and sick VP, the head of the Russian Federation the official title of Russia the country today. How many people have to do, so many Russian people have died that Putin releasing prisoners to fight in the Ukrainian war.
Everyone likes to bash Jeff Epstein for being a pedophile, but under Sharia Law in Iran, adult men regularly marry little girls, as young as kindergarten age, and in many Islamic republics under Sharia law, gay, lesbian, and trans people are murdered in the street by police, or stoned to death, or dropped from tall buildings into the street.
The police in Islamic Republics can walk up to anyone and shoot them in the head and claim it was because they were guilty of apostacy. In other words, Islam as practices under Sharia law, creates a country of organized normalized pedophilia. Unsurprising if you consider the life and times of Muhummad the founder of Islam, who was a psychopathic murdering pedophile rapist who enslaved peoples and engaged in genocide against other peoples.
This just a drop of water in a world of oceans of true information, that is sick and disturbing. Many people do not even want to hear about such things; it would shatter their special snowflake mindset.
That's How You Wave a Towel
There is an inappropriate joke, where the title, is the punch line. For the sake of not spreading bad idea, and to live above reproach, I have to change my ways of thinking and not share that joke. My late adoptive father like to make people laugh, but frequently used adult jokes, and that did make most people chuckle, but sometimes they laughed because of how uncomfortable they felt hearing the crude inappropriate jokes.
His wife, my adoptive mom, said "All jokes a putdown to someone" which my wife and I do not agree with. There are plenty of dad jokes, that little kids tell, based on naive word puns, like "Do the Polish people also Polish Furniture, noting that the Police also Police, verbs and nouns at the same time, while polishing a headlight to remove UV oxide damage to polycarbonate the clear plastic used on the outside of automotive headlight assembles, if your polish your headlight as a Polish person, then some Polish also Polish, noting they are spelled the same, but pronounced slightly differently.
Or, did you notice that people drive on a park-way, while many others park on their Driveway, giving me and many others the impression that the British people who concocted the English the language, must have been drinking lots of gin for much of that development mixing German, Latin, Spanish, Italian and French into the English language, making spelling so confusing that every single letter of the alphabet silent in an some word in English.
Many English Teachers and many ESL students find this YouTube video super funny, called
"English is a Giant Meme" to make fun of all the stupid illogical inconsistences that drove me mad as a child student in English classes, much to the frustration of my English class teachers who did not find my identification of these inconsistences funny.
There is a children book called P is for Pterodactyl, even though speaking that word sounds like a T noise, "tear a dac tal", do you get it, it's funny because the P is silent
Xylophone, "Zi Lo Phone", notice the Z noise even though it begins with an X, like X-ray
Eating Dangerous, Oddly So, Choking, Food Poisoning, Basis of many Medical Disease Pathologies a combination of Diet Mistakes & Lack of Physical Activity
Disease of civilization, the Standard American diet, what western diet did to the aboriginals in Australia, gave them all the same diseases and disorders affecting the white people, who upon resuming their tradition diet of eating bushmeat and seasonal fruits, veggies and nuts and seeds, reversed all the diseases associated with eating refined industrial western diet foods, known colloquially as UPF or Ultra Processed Foods, made from bland powders from GMO crops, they add in fake colors, fake flavors, fake texture, its all about sugar, salt and chemicals to hijack human senses.
So bad that up to 70% of what American's buy and eat from grocery stores and supermarkets in America, amounts to industrial ultra processed foods with any of many different questionable probably unhealthy and in some cases flat health harming ingredients like Hight Fructose GMO Corn Syrup, which we called Corn Garbage, or so many foods that are cooked, are cooked in rape seed oil, sold as Vegetable oil, when there are no vegetable involved in its production, instead GMO seeds
Seed oil health debacle, inflammation the basis of many diseases, how the imbalance of 20X too much Omega 6 and 9 creates chronic inflammation behind heart disease and many cancers. Chronic dehydration so common that there exists a kidney failure epidemic worldwide, not enough kidney dialysis machines to even handle a small fraction of the number of people with CKD chronic kidney disease. Who in many cases only drink caffeinate beverages, soda, or alcohol, or so deranged combination that does not include enough water for proper hydration, including in a diet of mostly UPF missing vitamins and essential nutrients, including critical electrolytes, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and sodium.
Press the Start Button to Start Your Car Engine
Do you remember starting a desktop computer in the 1990s, it power button, a momentary switch, now cars, trucks and SUV's feature smart keys and a start stop button, a momentary switch, different that a light switch which holds the position on or off, momentary switching only create a close circuit when your finger depresses the switch on a spring, which shorts the wires leading too it, sending a signal to a circuit controller or something electronic, which turns "it" on, but holding the switch down for many seconds can trigger a restart, shutdown or other function depending the device, noting your automobile a device or system of devices, often with more than 8000 parts made me dozens of companies, designed by people like you or me on computers.
What happens if you hit the cars start button when driving? Usually dash or display blinks an error, to let you know that is not a valid input, but if you hold down the start stop button you can turn off the engine, but you will lose power steering and power breaking and this could cause an accident, so be cautioned not to do this, except as thought experiment related to buttons pressed to start computers.
Fake ai generated content, NGO manipulated mainstream media, who can you trust anymore, at least on my blog your just reading my thoughts, hopefully dripping with authenticity
Since 2012 I have dumped blood sweat and tears into posting more than 1600 blog posts, after no longer using FaceBook, though I had to for a movement to setup my VR goggles, Meta quest 2 unit, because Meta is the parent company of FaceBook, and I do VR Kickboxing for fitness, with Les Mills Body Combat App, for more than 212 sessions, thought not for the last month because of moving, my body thrashed from moving, I have no extra energy for Total Body Punishment, and actually went from 182 lbs to 174 lbs because of all the physical exertion to move all that stuff to relocate, including boxing it off, loading it in and out of a moving truck, driving it, then unloading it into two different storage units, physically wrecked, but getting better slowly.
When folding up a small trampoline my wife uses for bobble therapy known as health bouncing indoors, the spring-loaded metal frame popped suddenly striking my face ripping my left nostril open a splitting open my lip just below it, which bleed profusely, but because I had to quit my job in order to move, I also lost all my health insurance and other benefits, so I just grid and bear it, as painful as it was, prayed to God that it would heal correctly without stiches, and remarkable it seems to be healing normal without scaring, to my utter and sheer amazement, praise be to God for answering my prayers about it
"Lord, please in Jesus's Holy name, let the injury on my face heal without medical intervention and not leave a scar, thank you Father God for Christ Jesus and for the Holy Spirit, thank you for the Bible and showing me a better way to live and think and for how to be a better husband to my wife, your Amazing, I adore you Lord, thank you so much for salvation and redemption, I know I am not worthy, If I can only be healed, in your holy name I pray, Amen.
What Do You Really Need
Other than air, water, food, housing, transportation, education, healthcare, electricity, internet, how have homes become so over crowded with things that people are willing to pay storage units to store thing they do you regularly make good use of, or own so many thing they can't even keep track of all of them.
I am of course admitting that this has happened to me, that I rent a storage space and so does my wife, because we moved in with family to live out of a room, in rural location where they are operating an egg farm with chickens and there are less than 5,000 people nearby, a tiny town, a relocation that cost us thousands of dollars.
Because moving all that stuff out of a giant overpriced and increasingly expensive storage unit where we came from, the suburbs near Seattle, Washington, where rent and housing are unaffordable, we had to give away hundreds of cars worth of things, sell vehicles, sell appliances, sell furniture, we literally streamlined and optimized away thousands of pounds of things to make moving easier, yet it was still heavy, a body burden, I am extensively injured from doing most of the labor myself. Moving sucks! I hate relocating, I need to streamline and simply more //
Yet how do I do 3D printing and Laser Engraving as Hobbies without computers and stuff? The last Intel iMac does double duty as the Prusa Slicer and controller of the Prius Mini, and controls the XTOOL F1 dual laser engraver including its path design software, Light Bridge. I have so many hobbies, not going to list them all, but they all require special gear, that takes up space, which requires other gear. To suggest that I am a complicated person and understatement, I am autistic savant with interests in more than 100 different complex topics.
Liquid Cooled, Air Cooled, Are you driving a Supercar to the Grocery Store with an overpowered computer?
How many cores, how powerful a GPU, how much RAM, how much computer do you need to browse the web, watch a YouTube video, noting even older smart TV with weak android computer inside can stream YouTube videos at 4K easily.
Apple does not even put a cooling fan in the MacBook Neo or Air. Why would they, that introduces "Noise" "Dust Intake" and Energy Consumption
With apple silicon, power efficiency reached entirely new levels of incredible, reducing the need for cooling fans, noting the unified memory architecture, hardware and software designed together, that a MacBook Air or similar fan-less machine does not require a cooling fan because its CPU so power efficient, that passive heat transfer to the unibody machined aluminum housing sufficient under typical domestic computer used loads to cool the M whatever version without a fan.
TDP thermal dissipation profile, how many watts is the "Chip"
Can a heat-sink without a fan cool the chip effectively?
If the chip getting hot, can throttling it cool it down effectively?
Not to draw an automotive comparison, but automobiles went from air cooled carburetors engines to liquid cooled fuel injected engines
There exists a group of zealots that overclock chips by liquid nitrogen cooling them in elaborate setups to prevent condensation dripping unto shorting out the mainboard or electronics
Similar zealots liquid cool windows intel Nvidia gaming machines or High Performance Workstations, noting that vapor chamber cooling and heat pipes with refrigerant gas to liquids inside have become a novel way to cool smartphones, gaming consoles and some laptops and tablets.
Most desktop computers still feature a large CPU & GPU heat sink made of machined aluminum into which brushless motor fans push air into for cooling, or are air cooled, not liquid cooled.
MacOS 26.5 Tahoe notice name jumped from 15.7.7 Long Term Updated Version for Older Mac Models
No one can say for sure if you should make the jump to Tahoe macOS, but officially if your apple hardware has M2 or M3 or M4 or M5 apple silicon, then it seems to work, especially on the newest versions that have better performance. If your on a fan-less MacBook Air, stick to 15.7.7 Sequoia until more of the bugs have been polished to magical Liquid Glass optimization
Understanding, Why Apple bases its OS's on UNIX
Apple's iOS and macOS are based on UNIX that Gorilla of industrial computers before Linux or Windows from Microsoft. UNIX was designed for security, stability, reliability, robustness, fault tolerance, on IBM mainframe machines so well made in 1960's that some have been used continually since then and continue working in middle 2026, a testament to the American Made Computers from the Golden Era of modern American history, 1948 to 1968, when the US dollar was strong, gold was cheap, most all of anything Americans needed was still be made in America.
Golden Age of American Economic Miracles
Electronics and aircraft and vehicles and appliances were designed to be easy to fix, parts available for repairs, user manuals in regular English written by other Americans easy to follow step by step instructions, a bygone era of economic miracles one after the other for decades of continual development, but it was not all roses and sunshine. Teflon hailed as a non-stock miracle in cookware, it turned out that making things with PFOS and PFOA then dumping the waste created in a river created a debacle of cancers and other disease from exposure to these industrial poisonous toxic substances.
UNIX Industrially Polished to Absolution
Why did Apple bake UNIX into its operating systems, power efficiency, robustness, intrinsically more secure layers of leveled permissions, like nested sandboxes to prevent hacking or viral attacks, in essence more secure, higher performance on weaker hardware, UNIX was tuned and optimized to the moon for enterprise when computers we bigger that cars and cost millions of dollars, such that only large universities and large corporations had computers.
Internet-of-Things
It took until the Win-tel duopoly between Intel and Microsoft to bring PC's home to peoples houses, and yet other revolutions in information technology to put the Internet in peoples hands and pockets with smartphones, and with high speed and wifi at home, the internet has become a utility like water, natural gas, gasoline or electricity itself, hard to imagine anyone not having high speed internet access anymore.
Wifi and High Speed Internet became Normal
Do you mind sharing your wifi password with my so I can connect my smartphone to save mobile data, and if you take into account an Apple Watch or Smart Speaker with Alex, we really do live with information furniture, and just on the horizon smart shoes, smart pants, smart shirts, with fabric wires, smaller power efficient chips, we are going to see solar charging and movement energy capture, your jacket will be able to trickle charge your smart watch and smartphone, with inductive charging built into the pockets :)
Why is Tim Cook leaving Apple
Ask him, that's his personal choice, he is not 20 years old anymore, maybe he wants to focus on other areas of life, other than making Apple one of the post profitable companies in the world.
We can't answer for him or anyone else, let them pick their own way and you do the same. We as people do not know enough to tell someone else the best way to live, they have to find that for themselves on their path through life.
Take my unique angle where I believe family the most important topic, because everyone alive has a natural female mother, a woman who gave birth to them one way or the other. Oh how I view faith in God as the most important topic because it explains why family the other most important topic.
Has Internet Made People Less Intelligent?
Are smartphones making people less smart?
At some level, everyone wants to be engaged, entertained, sleep, eat, have water or fluid to drink, in essence all throughout history basic human needs have not changed that much, but how we fulfill those needs with technology today very different, and we need to remember that cell phones were designed to connect people more in novel ways, not cause people to become lonely in crowded room. Today we notice there are more people with smartphones, yet overall more people feel isolated, not part of a community, no sense of social belonging to group, so how can technology meant to connect people more end up causing people to connect less? Good question, I think it can take culture more than 20 years to adapt new technology into the sock drawer, in the fine grain details of the bathroom and kitchen, the front lawn, the garden, the vehicles.

Mass of Fuel per Mass Moved at Given Speeds, Scientific Facts
Fuel economy of a vehicle, how much fuel used per unit of mass moved at speeds, not a may vary, what does the real world www.fuelly.com data evidence actually shows real world fuel economies of real people driving real models in real world conditions, that data available to anyone including the EPA and people making MORONI stickers for automobiles sold in America. Remove head from anus, wake up, ding dong
Fuel Prices are Hurting Families in USA
If Americans have to pay 6 dollars per gallon for gasoline, then they deserve to understand how a Toyota Prius II in 2004 was able to get 46 MPG on regular pump gas without any plug-in charging, or how Kawasaki sells a Hybrid Motorcycle that almost no one has ever heard of, since 2024, that gets double the fuel economy, and has faster 0-30 mph than a liter bike.
Misinformation about New Vehicles
Why are vehicles manufacturers not required to disclose scientific factual evidence about the total lifetime costs of operating their vehicle, cost per mile or kilometer, why do they not give sound reasonable factual information
EPA can't figure this out, they give a range, what the hell does that mean?
When a morbidly obese 500lb American drives the same car as me at 174 lbs, they get lower fuel economy if be we both drive the exact same vehicle year make and model on exactly the same routes and distances, their addition body mass makes the engine use more fuel, or makes the motor consumer more power form the batteries of a EV. On an airplane with hundreds of passengers, if everyone very obese, the aircraft will consume more fuel and release more emissions WTF
Japan's Metabolic Law
Why is Japan the only country with a metabolic law, what is wrong with other governments that do not enforce rational sane diet and food ideas, with penalty for excess, for smoking or alcohol consumption or excess sugar consumption, freedom my ass when it drives up everyone else's healthcare costs, that is totally unfair and unreasonable on many levels.
Environmental Conservation, Defending Real Food from Industrial GMO UPF Items
Industrialization + 9 billion people = Ecological Disasters, Species Going Extinct Faster, Cancers
GMO with no label, insecticide, fungicide, pesticides, any of 10,000 different chemically engineered food additives created by global tobacco giants who moved into UPF making foods as cigarettes became less popular after the 94 ban on marketing to children, noting that nearly all junk, snack, fast, ultra processed foods are marketed to children through smartphone and tablet games that have anthropomorphic characters of the junk foods, free apps, fun to play games, to indoctrinate branding into the young child's mind, so as teens or adults the seek out and buy and consume any of more than 100,000 UPF items linked to 32 disease pathologies with high quality scientific evidence beyond refute.

How Apple Silicon does more with so much less power
Unified memory architecture lets CPU, GPU, Neural, any cores, efficiency or performance cores, power optimized on TSMC's bleeding edge node superior power efficiency chips, Apple is TSMC's largest customer, noting that Apple designs their own silicon in house, but farm out the manufacturing to TSMC, who uses AMSL's most expensive, most complex, most ambitious, the pinnacle of chipset making equipment, including class leading metrology gear, TSMC only focused on making chips, they let others design chips :)
This hybrid model allows each company to focus on core competencies, instead of being Intel trying to be a master of all, which while noble, Intel Window effectively held a Wintel monopoly on PC's for more than 25 years, even Apple used Intel Chips for a while, noting the iMac in storage, the last Intel Chip model, it competes with my M2 MacBook Pro, while using 50X more electrical energy //
Now newest Intel CPU + newest NVIDIA GPU in newest Motherboard with newest RAM and dope SSD's, CUDA can provide system level unified shared memory, but because Apple designs the hardware, the software, then pimps out the production of its chips and gear to experts, Apple able to achieve power efficiency and performance per watt of energy that is impossible on any PC with Intel Chip and NVIDA graphics card.
Windows 11 machine with dope Intel Chip and Dope GPU and Dope RAM and Fast SSD, will smoke any mac for gaming performance, and works with almost any software, are vastly more flexible, but waste energy, with far lower performance per watt of energy, are space heaters, and some gaming desktops under full load can pull 850 watts, if well equipped, fully loaded hot hardware, peak gaming FPS butter smooth even the heaviest titles on 4K screens, even 3 of them at the same time :)
Pick your Apple Hardware Poison
Then again, you can flex and spend $2K or $3K on a pimp MacBook Pro, where its 24 hour battery life smokes anything by any other company, screen dope, processor dope with fan cooling, unlike air or neo, but for that kind of coin, you could get several mac mini's and screens to hook them up too //
Apple Hardware Quality & Long Lasting
Why Apple, they make the nicest highest quality computers, bar none, even my iPad 2 still works fine in 2026, with original battery, runtime of battery less, but it's also island locked on an older version of iOS, oh well, still plays EA Tetris fine :) My iPhone 17 as a computer plugged into USB-C with a 40w power adapter, outside of its case, mounted to a dock fan to output to a larger display, mouse and keyboard, blows the doors off my 2014 Acer Intel 4200u i5 notebook computer in every technical respect, all while using 60X less energy to do the same things better, smoother, snappier, its only major bottleneck the roughly 10 watt hour lithium polymer battery and tiny screen, which can be corrected with a dock to a larger screen, keyboard and mouse.
iPhone Docked as a Desktop? Fan cool it raw with no case on the phone!
Then again, running the iPhone 17 as a productivity computer, it lacks a cooling fan, which can be corrected easily by using a fan to blow air directly at it in the dock, so that when your editing videos and its SOC running at full tilt, the heat dumped into the iPhones aluminum body air cooled by the fan blowing air at it, instead of heat being trapped inside an insulating TPU drop protection case. Some dash mounts for smartphones also have a cooling fan that blows air at the phone to keep it cool when you are using it for navigation or routing.
Uber, Lift, Yellow Cab Drivers Cook their Android Phones Dead Inside a Year
Running the Ride Hailing App, along with Google Maps, & possible social media at the same time
While the display on full blast high brightness so the AMOLED daylight readable
All while the internal heat sensitive battery also damaged by holding it at 100% charged while charging it
This means these Ride hailing drivers cook their phones to death, because the phones are not designed to handle peak thermal loading all day long, they are designed for spot use, unlocking, use for big, lock, stored in warm pockets of people's pants, and have a design life of 3 years, a laptop has a design life of 6 years, a desktop has a design life of 10 years, a server has a design life of 20 years, similar to a space Satellite which are typically designed to operate for 25 years before deorbiting to burn them up in the atmosphere with reentry gas friction super heating to metal melting temperatures.
Antique Acer with 4200-U Intel i5 mobile chip BGA mount 15w low power, tiny fan cooling heatsink blows warm air out the side, 22nm chip process
If you have noticed, I have been posting blog posts for about 12 years
The overwhelming vast majority of them have been hand typed on a 2014 acer from Costco, that still works, even though it has thousands of hours on it, running windows 10, with updates
I turned off almost every feature of windows to make the system snappier, and even so, with ancient specs that sound funny compared to a recent smartphone, this machine with its touchscreen, perfectly able to type up blog posting, watch YouTube videos, do email, I can read Wikipedia pages, have a few tabs open without slowing it down, and that is after I adjusted maximum CPU power on plug-in to only 83% to keep that little fan quieter, it has a tiny high RPM cooling fan with a nickel plated copper heatsink thermal bonded to the CPU / Intel Graphics mobile chip. It can even play games like Dirt the Rally Racing Game from Steam, but I uninstalled steam, I have 2020 F17 gaming laptop for that kind of thing.

I am an autistic savant, an information handler, it is my jobs to know a lot about a lot of things. What is easy for me is hard for other people, what is easy for other people often very hard for me. I suck at organization or finding my way around in real life, navigating the world befuddles me, I get lost easily, but that can often result in a spontaneous discovery and has spawned many impromptu hikes and long walks and discovery of places most people will problem never see or experience, incredible experience with wildlife in nature who walk up to me as if I am their friend and they know me, since I have a loving heart for nature, for conservation, for environmental protection and a BS of Environmental Science because my passion for Emissions Control systems, like automotive catalytic converters adapted to aircraft engines.
Because I know that a $14 million dollar aircraft high bypass turbojet, if plating the hot inner sections to break down toxic exhaust into nontoxic, by electroplating with palladium, platinum, rhodium, nickel, copper, if any method used to introduce catalytic exhaust gas decomposition of pollutants, then aircraft could improve with 97% lower emissions of toxic substances, making airports safer for people and nature, especially the people working at airports or living in, near or around airports.
If it only cost $65K to install catalytic metals inside the hot parts of passenger aircraft engines, when those engines cost millions of dollars, then the cost of upgrading them with catalytic metals to slash emission, so cheap, it makes zero sense this not done by default by the makers of aircraft engines, who must either be stupid or greedy to not put $65K of noble metal in the hot parts of engines that cost millions of dollars, especially if doing so would help them comply with future government emissions regulations, so they would be ahead of the game, leading the way to cleaner skies and safer airports and happier healthier people.
ICE Internal Combustion of Gasoline Engines WARNING from P65 of State of California
Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon, phthalates, and lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves and or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle.
Hydrocarbon + O2 = H20 & CO2 idealistic chemical reaction that virtually never occurs in real life
Air only about 20% oxygen, O2, most of it Nitrogen, so when an air breathing engine mixes air with fuel, some of that nitrogen reacts with the fuel and oxygen, producing photochemical smog components that are toxic substances, linked to diseases in medical studies and scientific evidence. Known as trace pollutants, the overwhelming vast majority of engine exhaust made of water vapor are carbon dioxide, similar to human breath.
Gasoline Fueled Engine Pollution Remediated by New Catalytic Converters
Problem for public health and the environment are the trace pollutants, oxides of nitrogen, HC, particulate, carbon monoxide, fumes, vapors, smog forming components, that hit the red hot zirconia stabilized aluminum oxide ceramic honeycomb inner structure of the catalytic converter slurry coated in catalytic noble metals that are breaking down pollutants into CO2 and H20 and non-toxic gases like N2 and O2 emitted, with a new engine and new catalyst, about 97% reduction in smog forming toxic components in exhaust gas, once the ICE vehicle engine and cat are fully hot, after 3 to 9 minutes of operating driving, where the heat soaking of the cat makes it red hot and fully operational are remediating toxic exhaust pollutants into non-toxic gas emissions, while the engine becomes more efficient able to operate at leaner air fuel ratios once the thermostat opens and the coolant flowing into the radiator, forming a heat balance with the aluminum block and head, pistons, wrist pins, con rods, crankshaft, transmission and exhaust system all fully warmed up and working properly.
Emissions Controls Degraded as they AGE
As vehicles age, both in terms of miles and hours of operation, the emissions controls reduce function because of breaking down. The catalytic converts noble metals, Rhodium, Palladium & Platinum, when red hot in hot exhaust gas, slowly evaporate, even metals at high temperature have a vapor pressure.
This means that after 30,000 miles or 3000 hours, that new catalytic converter has lost about half of the noble catalytic metals that blew away slowly as nanogram per mile quantities in the exhaust gas, so everyone breathing near a roadway in USA is microdosing platinum, palladium and rhodium, rare expensive metals, probably also unhealthy to breath as nano fine dust in smog, normally heavy metals are toxic to the human body.
15,000 Watt IMAX Short Xenon Arc Lamp, Ushio UXW-15KD, POWERFUL, BRIGHT
Each consists of a fused quartz or other heat resistant glass arc tube, with a tungsten metal electrode at each end. The glass tube is first evacuated and then re-filled with xenon gas.
The inherently unstable arc of a short arc Xenon bulb means the power supply has to pulse start the arc at 20-50kv, then switch to 18-35 volts at 10-3000 amps, depending on wattage, they are low voltage high amperage, but the power supply has to be able to monitor the arc electrically to adjust it in real time to prevent any of many possible failure modes, in order to get to 500-1000 hours of operating life.

Turbo Engine, Hotter, More Pressure, More Wear, Faster Oil Fouling, Premium Fuel Required, Shorter Engine Life
Exhaust gas from combustion of gasoline mixed with air in your car engine usually enters an iron header, tubes made of iron pipes, which eventually connect together forming into a single larger pipe with a screwed in O2 sensor "upstream" into a catalytic converter, a metal housing filled with an aluminum oxide ceramic honeycomb core slurry coated in catalytic noble metals, then just after the "cat" a resonator, more exhaust pipe, pre-muffler, more exhaust pipe, a final muffler, then still warm moist but far less noisy exhaust exists the muffler often through some kind of corrosion resistant metal tip, into the air.
Emissions Controls take 3 Minutes to "Heat Up"
This warm moist acidic exhaust gas contains trace amounts of pollutants, the overwhelming majority of toxic pollution released during the first 90 seconds after cold start, when the catalytic converter cold and engine still warming up, it takes about 3 min for everything to get full hot for all the emissions control systems to work correctly.
Idle Wastes Fuel, yet Essential for Warming & Cooling Turbocharged Engines
Letting your vehicle run the engine for 3 min after cold start will waste fuel, its using fuel and the vehicle not moving, negative miles per gallon. Same, after driving the turbocharged vehicle, if you let it idle for 3 minutes to cool down correctly, that will use more fuel, again, negative miles per gallon, fuel used and vehicle static or not moving. This means increased fueling costs if you operate your turbo car correctly, letting it slowly warm up, then letting it slowly cool off, for 3 min on each side every time you operate it.
Super Chargers or Turbo Charger compress air into the engine
When a gas compressed, the temperature of the gas increases, see "Fire Piston" for an example
In other words, turbocharging increases the engine intake air temperature, now pressurized; to cool off the turbo pressurized air, it will usually pass through a heat exchanger called an intercooler, where air blown through it cools the hot pressure boosted intake air-, or water-cooling cools the hot boost pressurized intake air. Once pressurized air mixed with fuel in the cylinder (direct injection) its under more pressure and hotter, even with intercooling, the intake charges are warmer than that of naturally aspirated engines. Even with a hotter mix, because there is more fuel and air, the turbocharged engine will make more power, more torque at lower RPM's, more peak power at higher RPM and in general more powerful overall. But all that extra power of turbocharging puts more stresses on the engine.
Hotter from Boost Pressure & Compression Stroke Heating
Because there is more fuel and air shoved by turbo gas pressure into the cylinder, when the compression stroke further compresses it, heating it more, premium fuel must be used to keep that hot mix from igniting before the piston reaches top dead center, if regular gasoline used, the heat and pressure of turbo charging plus compression would cause preignition, so turbo engines are under more heat & pressure, meaning not only requirement to use more expensive premium fuel, but more fouling of the engine oil, as those higher pressure force more combustion products during the 3rd power stroke past the piston rings where these combustion gases and pollutants slowly contaminate the engine oil, so turbo-charged cars need high end fully synthetic lubricant changed more often, further increasing their operating cost, making maintenance even more expensive for turbocharged engines.
More Cooling of Coolant & Oil, Flowing at Higher Rate
Water pump in properly designed turbo-charged gasoline fueled passenger car engine, has to flow more coolant at a higher rate, to handle all the additional heating created by turbocharging the engine. The oil pump has to flow more oil, through an oil cooler, into the turbo, to lubricate the foil bearing, journal bearing, ball bearings, ceramic bearings, because the compressor or cold side that sucks in atmospheric air & using a high speed impeller to compress it into the intake, operates barely warm even when fully hot engine, where the header integrated exhaust impeller on the same shaft, operates iron red hot at almost 1000 degrees, and without water & oil cooling, the center that combines the hot & cold side of the turbo would warp from asymmetrical heating on one side while cold on the other, since metals expand when heated, and shrink when cooled, especially iron and aluminum and copper and nickel and cobalt, all the metal ions or elements used in turbochargers.
Toyota GR Corolla Turbo-3 Engine Blowing Holes Through Aluminum Block under Heavy Track Use
Not surprising that owners of a $50K GR Corolla take them to race tracks, and run them hot & heavy for hours to blow off steam and have fun. Toyota underestimated how much people who own a GR Corolla would be tracking their hot hatch, so they had to update the cooling system with more capacity, larger oil cooler, larger water cooler, larger intercooler, better thermal management, because the run to redline under full load, over and over aluminum turbo engines were getting way too hot, throwing rods, throwing pistons and blowing holes through the block.
Mass Produced 2ZR-FXE vs Hand-Made Turbo-3
I drive a 22 Corolla Hybrid Sedan LE that cost me $28K in 2023 one year used, that has roughly the same 2ZR-FXE engine as my wife's 10 Prius III and surely Toyota has extensively mass produces the 2ZR-FXE hybrid synergy drive system. Yet the 3-cylinder turbo engine of the GR Corolla a low volume most hand made by F1 engine builder in Japan, the Takumi, or Toyota's best workers builder the GR Corolla and its drivetrain to exceptional specifications, and they remedied the overheating failure modes by improving latest models of GR Corolla with more cooling capacity to prevent heat loading under track use failures.
Enhance Turbocharger Life with Turbo Timer
After a long drive of a turbocharged car, that turbo heat soaked, needs to cool off, if you park and turn it off, the turbo so hot, it will vaporize oil and water cooling inside the unit, causing vapor lock or fouling, shortening the life of the expensive turbocharger. Instead, when you get to your destination, let your turbocharged car idle for a few minutes to let it cool down more before turning the engine off. If you do not want to wait, there exists this novel device called a turbo-timer, will automatically idle your car until your turbo cools down to long life temperatures before the engine turns off and stops circulating coolant and oil to the turbocharger.
Fentanyl Made in China, Trafficked by Mexican Cartels into America
While Purdue pharmaceuticals largely responsible for the opioid crisis in America, they lost billions of dollars in lawsuit damages paid out, where they forced to admit they send vendors to doctors' offices to push free samples of Oxy or Hydrocodone to any patient who mentioned pain of any kind, giving rise to millions of perpetual subscriptions to these dangerous toxic opioid medications that have horrid side effects, especially tolerance building with use, chasing the dragon issue, but then if the patient discontinues taking opioids, their pain scores skyrocket as the body grasps at biochemical straws to regain homeostasis in brains natural pain suppression systems. Now to bash GLP-1 agonist medications
GLP Weight Loss Scam
O, o, Ozempic, or whatever copywritten patented analog medication using the same GLP-1 agonism mechanisms, think proprietary chemically engineered molecules, amazing weight loss with a simple lose dose weekly self-injection pen, that are super expensive, did you know that Americans pay up to 10X more for the same medications as people in other countries. What happens when the patent using GLP-1 pen stops using that weight loss apatite suppression medication. That's right, they gain back all the weight they lost using the GLP1 pens, but they also gain back extra body fat as a rebound effect as their body scrambles to regain a metabolic set point, or homeostasis.
Pharma Scandals Abound in US History
How about Merck with VIOXX, EpiPen price scandal, on and on, a cringy history of price gouging Americans for medications that are also often rife with horrid side effects, toxic, dangerous or deadly, a horrid disturbing history of big pharma through doctors prescribing harmful medications, even if chemical pure to meet FDA standards, its the mode of action, instead of address lifestyle, lack of exercise and unhealthy diet choices, or a sea of unhealthy UPF industrial ultra processed foods made by global tobacco giants with any of more than 10,000 unregulated untested unsafe chemical additives, like artificial coloring agents.
Diet of Unhealthy UPF Items Causing Disease Epidemics in USA
UPF can be easily identified, they are in colorful packaging, often cardboard or paperboard boxes, bags made of plastic or mylar, with more than a few ingredients and chemicals listed in the ingredients that no normal person can even pronounce correctly let alone know what these chemical names even are. Made with industrial bliss point engineering, UPF are typically sold on the Isles inside the store, not around the edges or borders where most of the real, natural, 100% organic, nuts, seeds, meat, fish, chicken, dairy, spices, whole plant based foods, natural real foods that you have to cook and combine into dishes with recipes, that are often part of home cooked meals, onions, carrots, beets, cabbage, salad greens.
Shop Edge or Borders of Grocery Stores for Real Foods
Think 100% real food, that has been part of human history, not engineered junk or snack or novelties, even some ice cream by Tillamook are only made with Heavy Cream, Salt, Sugar & Real Vanilla, nothing strange, no strange chemicals, just natural real ice cream, not some industrial artificially colored and artificially flavored with a long paragraph of ingredients, many chemical names that require a degree in Chemistry to even pronounce.
Pills Usually Do Not Solve Poor Lifestyle Choices, They Often Mask Symptoms
Inactivity toxic to the brain, cardiovascular system, cell mitochondria, liver, kidneys, eyes, skin, joints, bones, broadly speaking inactivity about as harmful or toxic as abusing dangerous illicit drugs along with excess alcohol consumption, noting carcinogens present in diet of American include heavy metals, isotopes, synthetic chemicals, artificial colors, any of more than 10,000 largely unregulated, untested, engineered by global tobacco conglomerates that moved into industrial ultra processed foods when smoking cigarettes became less popular after the legendary 1994 ban against marketing tobacco products towards children.
Child Marketing Unhealthy UPF items made by Big Tobacco
Yet today almost all of the worst UPF items are directly marketed to children, such that by age 5 a child that watches an internet connected screen of any kind has probably seen 5,000 ads for UPF snack junk foods aimed squarely at child marketing, exactly like Joe Camel of Big Tobacco pre-94 ruling against it.
Made in the USA, Made in America, Many Americans like me were "Made" in "America"
Today many things are still made in the USA, like space craft or rockets of SpaceX or Tesla LIB electric vehicles, Boeing aircraft, Zippo lighters, high end audio gear, many Automobiles from the big American "GM & friends"
But also really high end long lasting electronics in critical applications by Allen Bradly, or any of many motorcycle makers or makers of high end aircraft or spacecraft electronics, or electrical gear for industrial manufacturing automation, robots, high end motors, chemicals, fuels, steel, concrete, usually the highest end of everything, think expensive high quality best in class gear, titanium, novel super alloys, novel ceramics, novel computer chips, novel chip designs, novel software, noting that the intellectual work that goes into chip design & software engineering is work, and while AI getting better and cheaper than people at some of this work, it was Americans working at Intel, Microsoft, Adobe, NVIDIA, Facebook or META, Goggle or Alphabet Inc, did your notice that some of the worlds most famous tech and most valuable companies, in gaming, in PC, in laptop, in smartphone, in internet, in high performance fiber optic network, in satellite internet services, in e-commerce.
Did you notice that $11 trilling dollars per year of GDP in America not inflated, but real numbers with evidence unlike the counterfeit claims of the CCP and about China's failing economy, where investors and companies are pulling out of China now, but the reality of the USA transforming from a manufacturing hub of the world after the end of WWII to a majority services economy of today, does not me we stopped making things in the USA, but instead what we are making has changed, very high value added goods that have to be as high quality as possible.
Even Honda famously made the new NSX at low volume bespoke US racecar building factory, low volume, as high quality as possible, and most of the worlds nicest satellites, longest lasting and most reliable are also made in America, as was the NASA JWST and Hubble Space Telescopes, or The Space Shuttle and now Artimis, notice how the nicest most expensive things are still made in America or Made in the USA, that's because USA business outsources shoe making and clothing manufacturing to low regulation cheap labor 3rd world developing economies because in those product classes margins are thin if they are made to OSHA safety standards by American's working with benefits in safe factory well made in America.
Notice how Tesla factories in the USA are painted bright white inside, with very bright lighting, clean, sterile, precise, America also does the most advanced surgeries, the most advanced surgical robots, the best machines to do laser eye surgery, or CT scans or MRI imaging, notice high value added, specialized, low volume, niche, highest performing, longest lasting, most reliable, the USA beams with advanced manufacturing of the world's highest performance goods and services of all kinds, usually not the cheapest, not the most widely available, just the best, and nothing less. When it comes to the best helicopters, the best airplanes, the best computers, the best chips designs, the best smartphones, the best almost always made in America, including some of the brightest people in the world studying at MIT, who innovate nearly every class of material or product as college research projects, often working with DARPA for military industrial gear, noting that BDS of Boeing and Northrup Grumman also makes the most novel weapons systems, not the cheapest, the most high technology, the worlds first reuseable rockets made by SpaceX in America. McIntosh amplifiers, made in New York from raw materials. Dope naturally aspirated V8 engines, funny fuel drag vehicles, when it comes to the fastest or highest performance, made in America shines brighter than anywhere else in the world, especially those microwave sulfur bulbs in that Airforce museum.

"Being deep in the woods sparks a knowing. There's a know-how that's been handed down from generations past, stitched into heavy wool coat. There's also one that lives in the "now," demanding smart gear for the mission at hand. But there's a different kind, too. That kind that's built into your bones. The kind that jolts to attention when a twig snaps and detects a shift in the season just before the first leaf changes."
"We understand our deep need to be outdoors as both a calling and an answer- a calling to get out and explore. To discover the sensation of pulling your boots out of the mud at the bottom of a bog. To feel the thrill of cresting the ridge and seeing nothing but rolling hills. What we find along the way is an answer. A silent response to "what does this all mean? what is it all for?

Liquid Methane, Liquid Oxygen, SpaceX Starship (Chemical Mass Paradox)
Combustion based rocket engines have low fueling costs, proven designs, but they are not appropriate for deep space missions, with a specific impulse of less than 500 seconds, deep space missions require a spacecraft propulsion system with runtime measure in years or more, as the distance in space are vast, noting even the SUN about 93 million miles from Earth, and in terms of space distances, that is tiny.
Even the Moon about 250,000 miles from Earth, noting how many brand new automobiles will become obsolete worn out and scrapped inside of 200,000 miles, with even the best only lasting 1,000,000 as rare examples among a sea of options that are far less reliable long term, noting Honda K series engines, 2JZ of Toyota, or 1UZ pre94 of Lexus, unicorn examples of long lasting automotive combustion engines, liquid cooled, 4 stroke, gasoline fueled, emissions controlled, mostly aluminum alloy construction, ECU, fuel injection, variable spark timing, coil over spark-plug.
Deep space needs nuclear fusion power systems, like the FRC direct energy capture reactors of Helion scheduled to go online making grid power for a $400 million dollar data center power contract from Microsoft, noting this will be the first practical commercial power positive firm power fusion power plant ever created!

If a chemical booster stage able to launch a low mass optimized fusion propulsion upper stage into geostationary transfer orbit, such that the booster released, then a startup sequence activates the fusion drive mechanisms of the propulsion reactor, which then sets sail on a deep space mission, with iSP or specific impulse measure in years, able to travel at remarkable speeds with continual thrust for years, pending several technological hurtles or materials science problems yet unsolved as of mid 2026, but be assure we will get there, to infinity and beyond, faster than light, when we have fusion power reactors bigger than the SUN energizing warp drive access to other star systems in practical time frames.
If fossil fuels like methane are ancient sunlight, long ago trapped by plants, algae and animals, cooked under heat and pressure in the magma floating paleotectonic of Earth, then nuclear fusion propulsion means moving human technology to an alternate star access level.
Not long after the Sun and other nearby stars will be wrapped in energy capture rings of inward facing solar panels optimized for close operating hot near the sun, called Dyson Spheres, producing Petawatts of continual output power 24/7/365 unleashing vast amounts of electrical energy to fully electrify every aspect of space fairing future human development.

Honda K Series Engines Breaking Million Mile Odometer Records
Since 2001 the K series, back before smartphones, when many people did not have Amazon Prime, when the world was slower, less expensive, when gasoline was selling for $0.99/gal USA, when there was so much hope for the future before terrorist flew hijacked airplanes on Sept 11 into the World Trade Center complex in NY
Exceptional Automotive Engines
25 years of hits, among automotive engine superstars 2JZ by Toyota a superlative inline 6-cylinder engine many tuners boosted to 700hp with little modification, or 1UZ Pre-94 Lexus LS400 V8 smoothest most refined naturally aspirated automotive engine ever made, so much so that it was adopted for use with some modification as an aircraft engine.
2nd Gen Prius to 1 million miles
Some 04-09 Prius II with 1NZ-FXE also hit 800,000+ miles ODO with basic maintenance. It pains many to wonder, if Toyota and Honda are able to make uber reliable engines, then why do they not apply this understand to all of their engines? What keeps the other automakers from copying Honda K series or those other dope Toyota engines?
Legacy Toyota Truck, "Hilux OG" Unbreakable
How about that Hilux truck on Top Gear, they dropped from a helicopter, flood, crashed, smashed, and it just kept going, known as classic Yoder's in America, these middle 90's basic Toyota pickup trucks were some of the longest lasting and most reliable trucks ever sold to regular people. Abroad, mostly outside of America, FJ25 Land Cruiser since 1958, some later model year diesel engine 4WD models are renowned around the world as the longest lasting most durable most reliable vehicle that exists.
Land Cruiser Best Selling Internationally
Why is the Land Cruiser not popular in America, and why does Toyota not sell any diesel models in America, when abroad that are the most reliable, most fuel efficient and longest lasting modes, like that Diesel Hilux Champ made and sold in Thailand, but unavailable in the USA because of a so called Chicken Tax, when in reality its because Toyota does not want the Hilux Champ sold in the USA because that would cannibalize sales of their higher margin Tacoma and Tundra models.
No Small Trucks Sold in USA
No automakers sell a small affordable truck in America, and its seems no other automakers sell a practical cheap affordable simple smaller truck in America, which makes zero sense given the housing crisis, poverty increasing, shrinking middle class, so many problems with the US economy that surly the Hilux Champ even if 25% more expensive than the same models sold in Thailand, would sell by the million in the USA
In under 1 min, steal a car with new OBD tool
Criminals', car thieves using a diagnostic scanner to program a blank key fob
Car theft ring targeting cars in Maryland, Pennsylvania, & Washington D.C.
Install a scanner tool into your OBDII port and zip tie it multiple ways to secure the connector, blocking the OBDII port, making it very hard to unplug without great effort. Consider screwing down a metal plate over the connector, then use a rotary grinder tool to remove the head interface of the screws, or use rivets, to make very hard to remove the OBDII, so that uneducated immoral car thieves are less able to easily hack your OBD system to program a blank key to steal your car.
Will Kamala Harris Ever Answer a Question Coherently
Take cues from the liberal news media of the USA, she has a verbal conduct history known as World Salad
Too often politicians speak in rhetoric, say one thing to appeal to the public, then do what money tells them too
Too many expensive elections are paid for by money from private capital in exchange for special favors
Terrible corruption, open large scale industrial commercial bribery, its kangaroo supreme court giving corporations personhood and more rights than a US Citizen, cringy, immoral, unethical, wrong, bad, evil
Tricky to find anyone who likes any government anymore, most of the public feels betrayed by people in power
Tyrannical despots, Vladimir Putin as bad as Adolf Hitler in terms of the War in the Ukraine, so much corruption
Tripple FU to the American public with taxes unfair, insourcing, outsourcing and currency inflation, driving up the costs of everything, making basic life consumables so expensive, including housing and vehicle costs, that the middle class shrinking, elder poverty increasing, and in many instances it can be nearly impossible for adult children to move out on their own, forced to live with their parents because even with good jobs and good income they have zero hope of affording the overpriced insane housing prices, the dream of home ownership, known as the American Dream has been largely evaporating, along with Social Security Funding, and Medicare and Medicaid and DSHS fraud by illegal immigrant from 3rd world countries, its cringy, stupid, incompetent and wrong on many levels, so bad that there are broad calls to depose these idiots out of public office, these geriatric mentally disabled neuron diseased elderly politicians who forget what they are talking about in the middle of a sentence, we need a science and fact based smaller smarter more efficient government that passes laws the public good, to improve public health, to reduce harm to nature, to engage in broad regenerative agricultural practices at every level across the nation, making people healthier and happier from the ground up, both literally and figuratively.
Not to sound liberal or democratic or WOKE or SJW, please do not associate me with any of those alphabet people supporting terrorists' groups in GAZA, these kind of people clearly have zero idea what they are support, for under Sharia Law as practice official in GAZA, where it is illegal to be gay, lesbian, trans, questioning, queer, ++, where anyone of those associations found guilty of such under Islamic Law, are put to death by stoning, by dropping them into the street from a tall building repeatedly until they die, or the police simply claim they are guilty of apostacy and shoot them in the head in the street as jury and judge, so many people are murdered by the state police in Islamic republics, while Sharia Law in Iran for example, allows adult Men older than 30 years old to marry little children, girls in Kindergarten 5 or 6 years old, basically nations full of Jeffry Epstein pedophiles as a cultural norm under Islams Sharia Law, fubar, crazy, insane, violating every human rights law, immoral, cringy, cruel, mean spirited, ethically horrendous, insane, & terrible.
Black Tea, Coffee, Hot Water, James Hoffman, French Press, Brewing, Aqueous Infusions of Caffeine + Some Much More
Boiling water H20, adding thermal heat to water, fresh water, hopefully clean pure water, though with steam distillation even brackish water can be purified to distilled water, done a couple of times to really clean it up, yet vapor compression distillation even more effective at created clean water from brackish muddy silty contaminated water, as are commercial reverse osmosis systems, the question remains and problem unsolved, how to make a reliable low-cost affordable vapor compression distillation system that can run on AC or DC or any voltage from 12 to 480 v DC or AC at any hertz rating, VCD vapor-compression-distillation system to produce clean high quality drinking water in arid regions like the Andes in Peru where Chinese lithium production industry both consuming ground water and simultaneously contaminating fresh water resources with mining waste, from lithium brine production processes, and acid mine drainage.
So which NGO with funding from the worlds big lithium ion battery makers and big tech companies that use these lithium batteries in their products, like Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Alphabet Inc, in Smartphones, Laptops, Tablets, Smart Watches, Wearables, Solar Battery Camera Security Systems, Backup Batteries for Modems or AED automated emergency defibrillators or UPS uninterruptable power supplies, or portable battery generators, or battery electric vehicles.
Which companies, or governments or NGOs will supply the indigenous people of Peru with VCD water purification systems able to turn contaminated water, salt water, polluted water, into high quality drinking water for consumption, cooking, irrigating their garden, or showering, without exposing them to toxic water pollutants, and how to teach locals how to service, clean and repair these Vapor Distillation Systems, including giving them ready perpetual access to parts, manuals in their language with clearly labeled graphical images of how to step by step with bullet point listed instructions for every step, how to replace consumables or filters, or wear items, and how to diagnose problems to identify what repair is needed, what procedure an tools and parts are required for that exact repair, and to make it easily field serviceable with basic tools and no specialized knowledge.
Who or what group can make such a well thought out fresh water making machine for the peoples of the Andes negatively affected by lithium mining?
Have a cup of organic black English tea, some shade organic freshly ground coffee brewed, or learn about why water is the world's most important, broadly useful and fantastically interesting fluid, solvent, and essential to life so much that the expression "Where there is water there is life"
Electrical Fire (Batteries) Solar Fusion, Welding Arcs, Short Arc Xenon Lamps in Video Projectors or DLP TV
One of the earliest forms of visible electricity a spark, a bright flash of lighting in nature of hundreds of millions of volts, able to start a forest fire, during thunder and lightning storms, then some cleaver people in the 1800 started making piles, piles of alternating metals with different galvanic potential, with cloth soaked in acid as electrolytes.
Bright arcs of electricity at the National Ignition Facility, but IMAX 10KW projector bulb, one of the coolest things ever commercialized. Metal Halide automotive projector lamps. Low pressure sodium then high-pressure sodium street lamps. Microwave sulfur bulbs.
Recording Movies analog on physical film media required Bright Lights
Movie production and Surgery illumination produced market pressure for the production of very high brightness lighting technology. In many applications, inside a video projector, being able to produce high luminous flux density light with good color rendering index in a highly controllable directional focusable way meant that it became possible to make video projectors with good ANSI lumens for outdoor visibility, using very powerful compact short arc XENON bulbs in a glass ceramic reflector housing with an output lens.
Video Projection Needed Bright Lights
Today many video projectors use a high brightness LED lamp through LCD or DLP chips to project video in home theater systems. I used an LED video projector to crate a 70in indoor smart TV by plugging an Amazon Kindle Stick into the HDMI port of the projector, and for $20 the Kindle Stick came pre-programmed to my Prime account incredibly, turning our old dumb projector into a Smart TV, that we mounted with a bracket to the ceiling, then adjusted its keystone setting to send the image onto a large fat patch of painted white sheetrock drywall in front of our couch.
Lemon Battery At-Home Project with Kids
A simple at home DIY battery can be made by driving copper and iron nails into a lemon, do a few rows of each, then connect then one to the other to form a string series, in this way you can bump up the voltage enough to light and LED or power a small DC motor with a plastic fan on its axel, or through an automatic voltage regulator you could even charge your smartwatch or smartphone over USB-C cabled connected to your DIY voltage regulator connected to Lemon Battery "Pile" this kind of battery called a primary battery and will not last very long, because lemon juice inside the lemon has poor physical availability to the dissimilar metals forming the electrodes, moreover one electrode will rust or oxidize while the other reduced to ions in the lemon juice or corroded away, so you can improve the lemon battery by using platinum plated titanium as one electrode and graphite rod as the other, and put an array of those in holes in a plastic box filled with diluted muriatic acid (hydrochloric), or try using a paste made of RO water and potassium hydroxide.
French Inventor Creates Worlds 1st Rechargeable Battery
1859 Gaston Plant invented a Rechargeable Lead Acid or Pb-A battery of ~ 20 wh/kg
Waxed coated wood box held the lead & lead oxide plates, dilute sulfuric acid the electrolyte. These early lead acid batteries were sensitive to vibration damage, had very low energy density, but worked better than any other battery at sending out very large DC current pulses, which eventually became useful for energizing the 4-7kw electrical engine starting motors with output shaft sprag clutch mechanism that tooth gear aligns into a ring gear attached the crankshaft, so at 12.4vdc under load the 6 cell Pb-A battery sends out hundreds of cold cranking amps to cold start an automotive engine. Today 12-volt car batteries are also known as Starting, Lighting & Ignition batteries. Even BEV like a Tesla Model 3 still contain a lead acid battery.
Highest Quality Sub-C NiCD Batteries
In the middle of the 20th century NiCD Nickel Cadmium, Dewalt 18v tool batteries with Sanyo Sub-C cells "CADNICA" are some of the highest quality longest lasting NiCd battery ever made. Some piston engine small aircraft use large liquid NiCD batteries that are very expensive and hard to recycle. Many consumer electronics sold from 1960's through the late 1990's and even early 2000's featured memory prone NiCD
NiMH moves Hydrogen ions in La doped Nickle Sponge
Nickel Metal Hydride was greatly improved rechargeable battery made better with the addition of lanthanum to the nickel sponge. Famously early BEV's like the RAV4 EV in the 1990's used large format automotive NiMH battery packs to store traction energy in the multiple kWh range to give useful driving range, while an at home paddle charged plugged into the front grill for recharging. Even more famously, Toyota Hybrids have featured NiMH batteries for over 25 years.
Battery Industry Entrenchment or Technological Lock-in
In the late 1980's executives at Sony of Japan were developing ideas about a portable media player, but they wanted it to have good time and be small and compact, so they need a battery better than NiCD or NiMH and had gone on to contact all of the battery companies in Japan to ask for a lithium ion battery, but having entrenched enormous investments into NiCD and NiMH and even superior PbA, AGM versions, Fumed Silica Gel Batteries, no battery makers of Japan willing to help Sony make lithium ion batteries. So Sony famously setup the own battery manufacturing plant and started producing the worlds first commercial rechargeable consumer electronic lithium-ion batteries for the Walk-Man in the early 1990's.
1st Li-ion in Sony Walkman
Low volume production, supply chain issues and no economies of scale, meant the earliest Sony Li-ion batteries cost in excess of $3600 per kilowatt hour. By 2020 Tesla had effectively cost optimized NCA down to under $157 in their so called Tab-less designs, though they still as of middle 2026 failed to deliver scaling of production of these Tab-less batteries, while FSD only 2.7 level, not level 5 like Elon claimed 10 years ago and still never delivered.
1958 Nuclear Silo LIB, GM dropped the ball
In America the Pentagon, for nuclear missile silos, had aerospace niche lithium-ion batteries as early as 1958, but those were state secrets, National Security level classified technologies, not to be commercialized. Though a tech transfer agreement between DARPA and GM in 1980 meant that GM became the world's foremost expert on Automotive LIB or lithium ion batteries, and could have commercialized LIB EV's way before any other automaker, but their greedy selfish leadership under Bub Lutz prioritized higher profit margin SUV and Trucks, so in the most deranged fashion of bad management, they purchased the Hummer from AM General instead of optimizing the EV1 platform with LIB or Li-ion or lithium ion batteries.
Welding With Electrical Plasma Fire
A welding machine, STICK, MIG, TIG, regardless of which kind, creates electrical hot plasma arc, see 4th state of matter, not blood plasma, electrical arc plasma, which makes the metals liquid hot, so the welding pool created bonds the metals together, but for eye and skin safety, welding arcs are a enormously bright source of UV light, which will burn the retina can cause blindness, or skin burns, like a sun burn, so wearing long sleeves, neck scarf, gloves, a welding hood with auto darkening window or welding glasses, you need to wear protection, personal application specific welding gear for your safety, and make sure to weld where there is good air flow ventilation, because welding fumes are toxin and cause metal fever, which is acute metal poisoning. Welding fumes can cause fatal damage to lungs, so make sure to vent welding fumes.
Helion making the Worlds 1st Fusion Power Plant
Online making grid power by 2028 with a $400 million dollar Microsoft data center power purchase contract. The Sun, center of our solar system, fuses 600 million tons of hydrogen every second. The sun is about 10,000 times larger than the Earth, a giant gravity confined fusion reactor called a Star. Amongst stars in Space the Sun not very big or very powerful. A yellow GV2 class star, the Sun just bright enough to power all life on Earth from 93 million miles away :)
Mental Imagination Curiosity Passion for STEM
People comment asking me "how do you come up with idea to write about" I woke up thinking about electrical arc fire, an 70W HPS lamp system I created and want to hook up. Then I thought about that super cool IMAX bulb with its liquid cooled machined tungsten electrode that must be very expensive as a system. Then I thought about how welding arc melt metals into little welding pools that bond metal parts together. This made me think about short arc xenon bulbs in video projectors, which in turn made me think about the Sun.
