When The Cracks Begin to Show

 

Asphalt cracking from weathering over time

Loss of buying power of the US dollar

Trillions spent on nuclear weapons

USA no universal basic healthcare for Americans

USA failing bridges & roads falling apart, pothole epidemic

Overhead power-lines covered by tree branches in winter storms that undulate in the wind, causing deadly winter power outages

Food prices more than double since the year 2000

Gasoline prices from $1/gal to $4/gal

Wages stagnating relative to the cost increases of life basics, making life less affordable

Currency inflation driving the value of crypto currencies like bitcoin rapidly upward

Hundreds of billions spent from the USA to the Ukraine to fight a foreign war

Hundreds of billions dumped into Afghanistan for 20+ years

Hundreds of billions on aircraft carriers powered by nuclear reactors & nuclear power submarines

Hundreds of billions spend on military aircraft with hourly operating costs $3000-$15000/hr fuel + maintenance

Unfair foreign trade with China leveraging FEZ or free economic zones with no taxes, rapidly building permits, low labors costs, heavy automation and other special incentives like free no fee loans for tens or hundreds of millions to setup high volume manufacturing

Wild coal fires in China emit more air pollution than all the automobiles, and fossil fuel vehicles off all kinds in the USA, including aircraft & ships. If we want to fight climate change, it would cost less to put out the wild coal fires in China than convert all the vehicles to battery electric. How do you charge an EV during a power outage? 

Government black budgets and money that gets lost in action or LIA, not accounted for, many billions or even trillions gone missing globally. 

Nearly all countries running national debt with their finite limited failure prone fiat currencies subject to hyperinflation and loss of value with time, sometimes suddenly, like when Mexico revalued the Peso in 1980. 

Food processing companies selling ultra processed foods that sicken people while the some or closely affiliated billionaires that own these companies also own pharmaceutical companies that sell drugs used to treat the disease caused by eating the ultra processed foods, or what I like to call the SAD or standard western American diet of diseases, also known as diseases of modern civilization.

Western doctors that spent 10 minutes with their patients, mostly figuring out which drugs to prescribe, not inquiring about their diet or lifestyle, not in any detailed way with any real health data. 

Diabetic people without affordable access to insulin dying of fatal high blood sugars. 

Crime on the rise as the middle class shrinks and more normal people are forced into poverty. 

Lifelong STD's that cause cancer long term like herpes, or that destroy the liver like hepatitis, or destroy the immune system like HIV, or bacterial infections that causes painful soars or worse in very sensitive areas of the body. 

Chronic stress, screen light pollution, barking dogs and traffic sound pollution, noises & lights that keep people awake or cause sleep disorders that end up causing chronic sleep deficit that causes cancer as the long term side effect of long term accumulated sleep deficit.

Fear, anxiety, stress and worse from the 24/7 news cycle of mostly negative news.

Toxic social media networks bombarding people with misinformation published by operatives from Russia and China who seek to deliberately cause social division and societal decay in America and Western European countries. 

Ideological friction undermining wars and conflicts between Islamic extremist groups and progress secular west society that they consider evil.

Disinformation published by the government to snowball the general public into not understand an issue with reference to the real factual cause or basis, in order to manipulate and mislead people into false conclusions. 

EFI electronic fuel injection systems designed to waste fuel on purpose so that you get less fuel economy or have to buy more fuel to operated your vehicle, that run the fuel air mixture rich on purpose with engine mapping that injects too much fuel for the amount of air, or a rich mixture, that deposits carbon or soot on the valve seats of GDI engines that cause a loss of compression and shorter engine operating life or accelerated wear. See Oil companies colluding with American Automakers.

Wing on body airplanes that waste 60% more jet fuel than blended wing aircraft when NASA showed Boeing how to make blended wing passenger aircraft in the early 1980's, yet even as of 2024 no commercial aircraft are blended wing designs, as most passenger aircraft are wing on tube designs. 

Long Life Roads & Bridges

Fiber reinforced concrete mixes that last 200X longer, are 50X more flexible, do not crack or dry out nearly as fast and have 10 the sheer strength, 20X the elastic modulus, and have the same compressive strength, that have 200 to 1000 years of service life in bridges and roadways, all by just adding fine stainless steel wire mesh to the concrete mix, fibers of aramid or carbon fiber, or plant fibers or synthetic fibers like PP or polypropylene, or ultra high molecular weight fibers that are super strong, fibers that add amazing properties to concrete mixes incorporating these fiber reinforcements or fiber reinforced concrete or ultra high strength concrete often used for missile silos and other long life government installations. 

Cars, Trucks & Automobiles

Automakers using little aero tweaks to improve fuel economy by 1 MPG when a properly done aero tuning reduces fuel use by 30-80%, with CFD or computational fluid dynamics applied to reduce aerodynamic drag under the automobile, over the top of the automobile, around the sides of the automobile. 

Digital Side View Mirrors 

Automotive side view mirrors can be replaced with tiny all weather low light cameras with a low profile that do not cause air drag, and high brightness all weather viewable screens mounted on inside of the doors where the driver can easily see the screen-that steam what the side view cameras see, so it simulates the mirrors with a digital system that radically reduces vehicle air drag by removing the dorky looking side view mirrors, that look like ears on the car mouse shape to me. 

Designed to Last A Predetermined 20 years or 200,000 mi Deliberately

I was in Japan in 2010 in central Tokyo at a park on a Sunday having a barbecue with some engineers from Toyota & Honda. When speaking with them using a mix of Japanese & English bidirectional assisted translation, we were slowly able to clearly discuss automotive technology and the lifespan of cars made by Toyota and Honda. Please excuse the summary, but they effectively told me that "its been known how to build a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry to last 2 million miles or 50 years, with stronger suspension, larger bearings, more friction reduction efforts in the engine and transmission which are also made thicker heavier and stronger, special stainless steel alloys used for the body corrosion protected with many layers of anti-corrosion dip electrolytic coatings, baked on powder finish, primer, then paint coats followed by clear coats, and lots of extra sealing compounds and polymers applied to seems and gaps, continual welds instead of spot welds, and thicker stronger door hinges. They said that making the cars this way makes than 50% heavier, which requires larger brakes, bigger tires, stronger wheels, and all sorts of other modifications that eventually increase the cost of such a vehicle by %60. Summarizing more they said most new car buyers are not willing to pay twice as much for an ultra-long life version of a car made this way with the longest life components beefed up and made to last a lifetime. Furthermore, there is not money in such an effort and if you want such a vehicle you have to buy one of the those large class 8 turbos inline 6 diesel trucks used to pull containers filled with commercial goods & other items, which can last millions of miles and 50 years if well maintained because they are deliberately overbuilt to be use nearly continually pulling heavy loads. 

Electric Vehicle Tire Dust 3X More From Instant Torque EV Motors

Many owners of Tesla electric vehicles powered by lithium ion batteries notice that the expensive wheels and tires result in destroyed tires within 6000 miles of use, while a well made typical ICE car tire set can last 30,000 or 60,000 or even 90,000 mi respectively. This issue arrises from the higher instant torque applied to the tires by the electric traction motors in battery electric vehicles that can accelerate very rapidly. In practice the performance acceleration focus of the way power delivered to the wheels by the motor controller map and traction motor means much greater sheer forces on the tire tread or tire compound interface with the roadway surfaces. 

On paved dry concrete or asphalt this combination grinds away the tires faster, resulting in accelerated tire wear, radically reducing tire life on BEV's. This also means that EV's are pumping out 10X more microplastics, since the tire tread erosion products or TEP are one of the leading sources of microplastics polluted into environments. 

Reducing Tires Waste & Renewable Asphalt Roads

Retreading the tires now popular in Germany a way to add new life to old tires, especially if they are only a few years old, since the steel fiber reinforced vulcanized rubber shell of the tire can last 10 years even if all the tread worn away faster. This means that hot melting new tread to DOT safe standards can be used to remake or refurbish tires or retread tires, which means they are typically cheaper than brand new tires. 

Asphalt made of tar and bitumen hot mixed with gravel, when old and dried out and cracking like the title image of this post, can be removed from roadways, ground up, mixed with some fresh hot tar and laid back down hot, where it cools in place and solidifies. In this way asphalt can be continually redone over & over as a renewable roadway paving surface. It is true that concrete roads last 10X longer, but redoing the concrete very hard, slower and more expensive, and concrete roads cost 5X more than asphalt roads. 

Automotive Glass, Metal & Plastic Recovery

Vehicle glass can be smashed into cullet, melted and made into new glass. The metals of most vehicles can be ground up and smelted into new metals. Many plastics and plastic fiber fabrics in vehicles can be ground up into small bits and mixed with fresh plastic pellets to melt hot injection press new plastic parts. Much of the copper, aluminum, nickel, steel, many of the valuable metals used in automobiles can be recovered during car scrapping when they are EOL or end of life recovered at junk yards or similar. 

Alcohol Ethanol Harms the Human Body, Blocks Pain & Causes Euphoria + Hangover

When you drink alcoholic beverages the alcohol moves throughout the entire body within minutes. You can smell alcohol on someone who has been drinking because it is evaporating out of their skin where it has a metallic floral aroma, scent or smell. 

Because of how ethanol affects the brain, it slows their motor control, so their walking gate is different, the way they are able to control a bicycle, wood chipper, chainsaw or other heavy equipment is degraded, such that their have less control or slower control, making operating anything under the influence of alcohol dangerous & risky. 

It damages membranes throughout the mouth, tongue, throat, stomach, upper intestine, lower intestine, colon, sphincter, liver, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, nails, and causes the brain to turn off in a progressive dose dependent way such that as you drink more the ethanol spreads out through your entire body and brain, and the only cure for a hangover from the dehydration it causes is more water and time. 

Time is the cure for a hangover. 

Drink plenty of water and electrolytes and take a multi-b vitamin the next day, as these combined with time can help to restore you after a night heavy of drinking.

I Still Drink Ethanol Containing Beverages Sparingly

I largely gave up consuming alcoholic beverages for health reasons because it reacts poorly with the metformin that I take for diabetes. Ethanol ok in small amounts, even the human guts makes ethanol with some of the carbohydrates we eat. We are talking about the same amount of ethanol in a typical bottle of raw kombucha, or half a serving of beer or half a serving of wine. A small amount of alcohol infrequently perfectly fine, but be careful and less is better.

Ethanol diffuses all through your body and ends up running through you blood stream where it gets pumped into your lungs and evaporates into your breath. As you breathe out some of that ethanol mixes with the air your expelled from your lungs into a BAC or blood alcohol calculator meter where it causes a reaction in an ethanol fuel cell in the BAC meter producing voltage that is then multiplied using a formula to create the BAC or blood alcohol content score where the legal limit for adult drivers in the USA 0.08% or 0.02 for school bus drivers or EMTs or other safety critical commercial truck drivers driving hazardous materials for example. 

Women have less water in their body so alcohol affects women more than men. Children also have less water in their body so alcohol affects younger children much more than adults. Alcohol a poison like sugar at elevated doses or larger servings and becomes increasingly toxic as you keep drinking.

Ethanol Used as Anesthesia in Medicine Originally 

People are drinking because the ethanol makes their body feel euphoria at first, numb to pain, inhibited thinking, and stress response that makes them want to move or fight or flight response, see aggressive behavior while drunk to understand what I am talking about. People have been drinking beer and wine for thousands of years, but only very recently have we gained the physical science medical physiological biochemical knowledge to underhand what ethanol doing inside the body. 

~Activates GABA receptors slowing down brain cells

~Increases blood cortisol levels, histamine levels, and blocks melatonin, one of the reasons drinking too much causes choppy sleep. 

~Partially activates Mu-opioid receptors & calcium channels, blocking pain transmission, making people feel good

~Increases dopamine, serotonin, epinephrin, norepinephrine levels in the the brain, causing euphoria like other recreational drugs like, amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDMA or Cocaine or LSD. 

~Increases urine discharge, sucking water out of the blood, one the reasons the it causes handover

~Interacts with dehydrogenase enzyme in the liver, becoming the cancer causing acetaldehyde on its way to becoming acetic acid or vinegar for excreting in the urine, which you will notice because drink alcoholic beverages in excess makes consumes of such have to pee a lot more. 

Drunk Driving Dangers

Many drunken drivers causes bad car accidents that kill the driver or other people on or near roadways, in other vehicles, usually the drunken drivers fault since their intoxication from drinking alcohol worsened their ability to safely control the automobile under the drunk drivers control. 

In this way alcohol responsible for many deadly car accidents and accidents that paralyze, maim, hurt, disable, disfigure or damage other peoples bodies severely, usually because the vehicle operated by the drunk driver made of steel alloys, with a mass or weight of around 3000 lbs, driving faster than the posted speed limit, going around corners at unsafe speeds that cause the tires to loose traction with the road, causing the vehicle to skid or driver to lose control in a way that precipitated the resulting accident damaging other peoples property or persons, not limited to fatal damage to people and costly damage to parked cars, homes and other private property, public buildings, infrastructure like bridges, elevated walkways, power poles, signs and other assets. 

Beer & Wine Before Industrialization when Everyone Walked

Going back to early human history when alcoholic beverages started becoming popular, this was largely before the Age of Enlightenment and subsequent industrial revolutions that gave rise to billions of automobiles driven daily, made of heavy metal boxes that can easily harm, hurt or kill people or animals struck by vehicles under the control of a drunk driver making poor choices because of how the ethanol slowed down their brain functions.

When people drank alcohol in antiquity, they got buzzed or drunk, but the only popular way of getting around was on foot, walking, which helped them burn off the alcohol. Engaging in physical activity increases metabolic rate or the clearance rate of ethanol from the human body. 

Elevated breathing rate for example, which happen when physical exercise movement or activities happen, helps pump by evaporation more blood alcohol out of the lungs into expelled breath, since we breathe out ethanol vapors since ethanol ends up in the blood stream pumped into the lung where small sacs have high surface area such that vapor pressure of ethanol at body temperature sufficiently warm enough to boil the ethanol into out outgoing air as we breathe out, the same way that a BAC meter can take the expelled air from our lungs containing ethanol to create an estimate of the blood alcohol content or BAC. 

Alcohol Less Strong in Antiquity & Water Was Dangerous to Consume 

Back when drinking water was dangerous because of water born illness, most people in the Middle Ages drank weak beer all day, or wine. The process of making beer and wine sanitizes the resulting beverage of dangerous pathogenic microbes or bad bacteria.

Beer was 3% alcohol back then, and wine was 7% alcohol, unlike some typical better today that is 5-9% alcohol and modern wine thats 9-17% alcohol, and we are not even touching on concentrated spirits that can be 25-90% ethanol or alcohol, such that a few 25ml shots of spirits enough to get most people very buzzed or drunken. 

Old Beer & Wine Gave Way to Coffee & Tea

Hot coffee & tea alternative made industrial revolutions more productive as people switched away from drinking ethanol containing beer and wine to hot coffee & hot tea which also killed off dangerous microbes because of how both are produced. Thus caffeine and many other new substances entered the human food chain that promoted wakefulness, ideal for rapid industrial development in the areas of the world where coffee flourished. By this standard we would think that Italy would be the world's most industrialized country, but this is far from the actual reality of the modern Italian economy or government. Today many caffeine free tea's are also popular. 

Times Have Changed 

Many people today do not smoke cigarettes or use tobacco products, are more health conscious, do not drink alcoholic beverages, exercise regularly, and try to stay mentally, morally & physically fit.  

Clean Filtered Water Today

The most popular & healthiest beverage of them all, what animals in nature drink, water :) Water filtered or clean water trending as the most popular beverage today, many people even carry water bottles to make sure to stay well hydrated by drinking enough water, which the water bottle helps the to do by acting as a reminder to drink enough water. In the chip making sector ultra high purity water used to rinse the wafers made into chips during several hundred stages of chemical processing, where water of the highest purity used as a solvent to rinse away acids, bases & other chemicals during the chip making process sequence. 

Streams of Chemicals Entering Your Body

What you eat or drink forms the largest stream of chemicals entering your body. What you put into your body affects your health & wellness, proven by tiny amounts of substances like LSD which in microgram quantities can causes 16 of profound changes in mental experience & executive function of the brain, in what is known as tripping out or having a psychedelic experience. 

In a similar way some very toxic substances, some pollutants, and some industrial waste chemicals emissions are poisonous to the human body with toxic effects even when exposure levels are in tiny amounts, such that even tiny amounts of these toxic poisons can causes diseases or sickness or degrade the health and wellness of the human body in what we study as a field called Toxicology to understand how some elements, chemicals and substances harm the human body, what these things do inside the body that causes harm. 

Lead or Pb metal for example is toxic because it binds and deactivates enzymes essential to cell function, thus lead kills brain cells and the main reason that TEL or tetraethyl lead removed from gasoline, since virtually all modern gasoline sold as a unleaded today worldwide. This is also why air pollution so harmful to public health, because it exposes people to toxic substance in their air we are all breathing.

Coal power emissions for example contain mercury, lead, arsenic, uranium, thorium and worse heavy toxic and radiative metals and oxides thereof, plus particles, smoke, soot, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen or NOX, and oxides of sulfur SOX that form acid rain when they mix with water in the atmosphere, which is toxic to aquatic wildlife in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams, such that air pollution from coal power caused damage to the fishing industry. 

Fitness Activity Movement / Thought Life Faith Mental Moral Mind & More

You have muscles, joints, bones & a brain to move! 

Movement stimulates blood flow, bone strength maintenance or development or dynamic remodeling of the bones, metabolic health, physical strength, endurance, drive, ambition, passion, executive function of your brain.

Physical activities are proven to help students do better in school which is why most modern OECD country public schools have a period called P.E. or Physical Education!

God Loves You & Wants to Save Your Soul through Salvation in Christ Jesus

The most amazing free gift available to all people continually anytime everywhere simultaneously like the omnipresence of God, who is also all powerful and all knowing or omnipotent & omniscient

God sublime, beautiful beyond all comparison, from the beginning to the end, the alpha & the omega, absolutely with perfection unmatched, perfected completely, without flaw or error, the most accurate and highest precision being in all realms, who makes no mistakes, who is without limitation or unlimited, a star breathing God who speaks universe into existence by his word, the God above all other gods, the only true God, the only being worthy of your praise.

All you have to do is believe in Christ Jesus as your Lord & Savior

If you choose to become a Christian its special because your instantly accepted by faith, not works, then motivated to live an honorable life where your fruit or works will reflect your love for God and the blessing that God gives to those who love him though the Holy Name of Christ Jesus

To become a Christian Right NOW 

Humble yourself before God, humbling your heart and yielding, acknowledging that you need him in your life. We are talking about the God from the Christian Bible, Abba, Father, YHWH "Yahweh" Adonai, the God who John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his Only Begotten Son (Christ Jesus) so that whoever believes in him "Jesus Christ" as Savior & Messiah, shall not perish, but have eternal (everlasting) life. 

"God, I need you, please Lord, become real to me, convict my heart to turn away from sin, and teach me how to read your word and obey it as it is written in the Bible." 

Next start reading the New Testament, because we can know God personally through reading and knowing his word, as it is written, which is also instructions about how to live with proper Christian conduct, living as life that is honorable, praise worthy, respecting God through your actions, choices, an behaviors, such that your life should change radically, inwardly profound mental, spiritual, emotional transformational change, such that you become free and willingly able to give a testimony to anyone who asks about your faith. 

Also be careful of false profits and false teachers and false churches that preach a counterfeit Jesus or message that does not align with the word of God. Any real pastor will admonish you to read the Bible daily for yourself, and their presentations will reference the Bible as it is written, focusing on God's truth. 

If you're not near a church you can watch Derek Prince videos on YouTube get started. 

Start by declaring or proclaiming out loud, it has to be out loud, verbally uttered

"Dear Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus Christ is your only Begotten Son, that he was born of a virgin, that he fulfilled more than 300+ prophesies spoken of in the Old Testament"

"I believe that Christ Jesus healed the sick, casting out demons, and raised the dead. I believe that Christ Jesus lived a sinless life without blame, who never gave in to temptation."

"I believed that Christ Jesus fulfilled the ransom for my sin, that by being scourged, scorned, rejected, ridiculed, falsely accused, and crucified, that he died taking sin away from anyone who calls him Lord & Savior, who was in the grave for 3 days and who raised from the dead & lived again appearing to hundreds of witnesses just as the word of God says." 

"I believe that the Bible is the Devine breathed word of God, that it is everlasting, and in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ your Son, I accept his sacrifice for my sins""Not so that I can habitually sin, but so that I can change & be made new or renewed daily by my faith in God through Christ Jesus." 

"I accept Jesus Christ as my Messiah, my Lord & Savior, and I asked that you create in me a burning desire to read and know the Holy Word as it is written in the Bible."

"Help me to love what you love, and hate what you hate, sin, evil, or anything that takes me away from your presence and truth. Thank you Lord God for your salvation" 

Thank God from your heart with your own words) and repent for your past sins, forgiving others who have wronged you and forgive yourself of your wrongs, choosing now to live a different life forsaking sin or evil in all ways, focusing continually on that which is honorable, choosing honesty so that you stop lying, choosing to work for your money & stuff and to not steal. 

Reading the word spoken out loud powerful because words when spoken can be heard in all realms. 

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

If you can find a bible based church, attend regularly. 

You can start a bible study at home by reading the Holy Word (Christian Bible) out loud as a family together. 

More Than Sensory Experiences

Tempted to sin like me, on the edge, but not choosing to do wrong? It's a daily choice to call your mind into obedience to the Holy Word of God!

Making time for faith easy if you take time away from the time you spend online, on your phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, all in one, iMac, MacBook, or even your smartwatch or Apple Watch

I spent a few hours every day reading Encarta, Britannica, Wikipedia, Green Car Congress, Auto Blog, Japlopnik, and many other sites browsing news, content, recipes, information, and all sorts of other stuff, even inappropriate things that I knew were wrong to seek out. 

My ability to resist temptation has increased such that I am dry from alcohol for long intervals of time, drinking only very infrequently now. I stopped consuming cannabis years ago to start a new safety focused career where it's illegal to have THC in my body for federal regulatory reasons, call it medicine. The safety of my patients paramount to my sense of obligation and duty to honor God in all that I do, though my thoughts often wander towards unclean ideas made worse by online tools at times, its really a struggle to stay clean inside & out, a daily struggle to read & do the Holy Word from the Gospel of Christ Jesus according to the books of the New Testament in the Christian Bible as a Believer in Christ Jesus & God. 

I have faith in God, a faith in that which is unseen that does not meet the senses as a sensory experience of reality via signals from the eyes, ears & skin or body. Faith is made of that which is unseen. Some years ago I started to wonder what relationships are made of, literally, and that was the start of understanding how I could become a man of God! 

"There has got to be more than this" "There is something deeper beneath the surface" "I have a strong sense that there is more happening than meets the eye" and in these and other ways you probably sense that there is a far deeper truth out there waiting for you to find it. You know this is true because you feel a longing inside for something more than the temporary things of this world. 

When the thrills is gone tell God "Show me what I am looking for, Lord God"

What time is it? I am hungry! What's for dinner? Many people have similar thoughts, ten fingers, ten toes, have to sleep, eat, poo, pee, in other words all people share the same DNA & have much in common. 

What makes us different are lifestyle differences and subtle differences in thoughts, choices, actions, behaviors, personality, proclivities, interests, passions, obsessions, preferences, phobias, fears, uncertainties, beliefs, ideologies, ethics, morality & similar social aspects of who we grew up with & who we spend time with. 

What you think you know about life missing the greater detail or the bigger picture. The expression "the devil is in the details" only scratches the surface of what I am talking about.

You know that what I am saying is true, you have known it deep down inside your whole life, like a splinter in your mind that you can't quiet find but something gnawing at you underneath the surface, deeper than skin deep, clawing at your soul so that you pine for something more than anything this world can offer, something priceless and beautiful l that can only come by faith, practicing love for God! 

Toyota / Lexus LFA 1NZ-FXE, 2ZR-FXE, 1UZ, 2JZ "Sometimes Very Interesting"

Unfairly called a stuffy automaker because of their focus on quality, reliability, practically, in popular vehicles like the Camry, Corolla, Prius, Rav4 or Sienna, while something dope like the MR2 or Supra or LFA released periodically proving that Toyota can make a supercar thats interesting, while the pre-95 Lexus LS400 the most reliable car ever sold, its giant naturally aspirated 4 liter V8 means 10 miles per US gallon poor fuel economy or very high operating cost over its 2 million + miles of reliable operation. The 1UZ engine pre-95 non-interference so fault tolerant & reliable & smooth running, that it exists as a virtual paradise of engine technology or superlative and should result in its developers being awarded a Nobel Price in engineering or technology.

Euphoria : 2012 Lexus LFA "Japanese Supercar" 

My current daily drive a 22 Toyota Corolla Hybrid with the 2ZR-FXE used since 2009 in Prius 3 & 4 respectively, Toyota opted to put the 4th & 3rd generation Prius drivetrain in the Corolla Sedan body E210 in order to sell even more hybrid electric cars to improve their C.A.F.E score or cooperate average fuel economy, that way they can sell Land Cruisers & GX460 with huge V8 engines that guzzle fuel without violating US laws :) 

Similar fuel economy restriction, engine displacement based taxes, and emissions control laws exist in Japan and Europe regarding vehicle fuel consumption & vehicle toxic tailpipe emissions, namely requiring the automakers to use a mixture of technologies like EGR or exhaust gas recirculation to cool combustion to limit NOX or oxides of nitrogen formation, variable pulse-width computer controller fuel injection & computer controlled variable spark ignition, after exhaust header catalytic converters with an O2 sensors upstream before the cat and downstream after the cat so the exhaust gas temperatures creates voltage reference signals for the ECU to adjust the fuel air mixture using data from the hot wire cooled MAF or mass air flow sensor the measures the intake air temperature enabling the ECU to calculate the air density because of the known throat cross sectional area of the MAF, + PAIR or exhaust air injection, and many other technologies designed to reduce tail pipe emissions. One of the most cleaver tricks that Toyota came up with is a thermos bottle that stores hot engine coolant when the vehicle turned off, then pumps the warm coolant back into the engine the next day to preheat the block to warm the engine up faster, which radically reduces cold start emissions which are the worst since the engine tight & oil not lubricating as well & the cat does not work until fully hot. Later they ditch the complex thermos bottle pump storage system and went with an exhaust valve that takes hot exhaust gas and routes heat back into the block during cold start, then it opens to let the hot exhaust take the normal route out the resonator, suppressor, muffler, tailpipe system. 

Butane Fuel since 1864 Discovery ? Clean Burning & Renewable via Bio-Fuel Production

Nifty relatively clean burning hydrocarbon fuel that can be kept liquid at low pressure in small plastic refillable lighters.

My steel Zippo EDC lighter upgraded with a butane jet cartridge, since the naphtha fuel wick system that shipped with it originally dries out due to waste heat in the 5th pocket of my jeans where my body heat boils off the liquid hydrocarbon. The butane cartridge also cleaner burning and makes nice blue white jet flame.

Notice clean green blue white flame of butane combustion
This is my EDC custom laser engraved DIY Steel Zippo

Anykit Digital Otoscope for iPhone, iPad & Android Device on Amazon via Prime only $34 Shipped Same Day

This can be used to inspect guns, engines, motors, electronics, computers, appliances, inside walls, under things that are hard or heavy to move, inside hidden places, to pick locks, to open safes, to fix or help figure out how to repair a wide range of things. Just like a microscope helps to see cell cultures in diagnostic medical labs by enabling the technicians to see things too small to see with the naked eye, just as the lenses in a jewelers loop enable people to see gemstones up close or look at rings or watches tightly to spot fakes or inspect quality, or how space telescopes help NASA the ESA and others image the universe, this tool helps to look inside of things. 

I found this one on Amazon to work with my iPhone 14 to inspect the inside of electronics, walls, vehicles, but also to look inside my ears, nose, throat, mouth, back teeth, gums, and anything else I need to repair that has hidden important details that a tiny camera with lights will be able to visualize on my phone screen so I can figure out what to do. 

Lead Acid Batteries

Simple PbA cell made with plates of Lead & Lead Oxide in a waterproof container filled with sulfuric acid or battery acid. Before plastic, waxed wood boxes were used. In 1859 Frenchman Gaston Planté invented the first lead acid battery, a low energy density rechargeable battery technology that continues to be used today in automobiles worldwide as of 2024.

Even our 2022 Toyota Corolla Hybrid with its 2ZR-FXE engine has a 45AH 12vdc SLI battery to the front drivers side of the engine bay. See images below. This car went without being driven for 10+ days because I was sick with a flu & cold virus back to back. The voltage was 11.8vdc when I measured it, so I used a cheap $27 fully automatic battery charger shipped same day from Amazon Prime to fully charge it, since keeping lead acid batteries fully charged makes them last longer.

In the Operating Manual of the SC1304 Schumacher Charger it says 12.8v + fully charge, 12.2-12.7v needs charging, less than 12.2v discharged- charge immediately!

HFO-1234yf Aircondition Refrigerant in Automotive Applications also R-1234yF

Toxic, Fluoride ions attached to a hydrocarbon
5% lower performance than R134A too //
CAFE Credits gave rise to Automotive USE
Lower Global Warming Effect than R134A 

R134A a common automotive HVAC refrigerant since the 1990's, but government CAFE credits given to automakers to use lower global warming potential refrigerants gave rise to the widespread utilization of newer HFO-1234yf refrigerant from Honeywell & Dupont (R-1234yf), companies that have a long history of making specialized chemicals for use in such pure expansion based compressor cooling & water vapor condensing systems for automotive applications. 

I was An Atheist, then Agnostic Scientist, Skeptic, Then I realized Something After Reading Pascals Wager

If faith in God has no meaning, nothing. But when people find faith in God only good things happen to them inside, where they change, through being renewed by believing in something other than other people or vanity, or things of this world that corrode & fall apart due to entropy. If you ask out loud right now "Christ Jesus, are you real? If you are real, please appear to me in my dreams, confirm within my mind that you are real & show me your heart of love; Father God, in the Holy Name of Christ Jesus, I come to you asking if you are real, and if you are real, please reach through to me and show me that you love me, that you care about me, that you want a relationship with me, and I ask this in your Holy name, thank you Father God, Thank you Holy Spirit & Thank you Christ Jesus" then go to sleep & see what happens.

Mass media attention to E-waste putting pressure on companies & governments to stop polluting, acknowledging that many of these complex electronics & consumer technology products have a finite useful life of 3-20 years, after which at EOL or end of life, they become obsolete & are exported as E-waste, usually from rich countries where anti-pollution laws & high labor costs make e-waste recycling impractically expensive or not feasible, so the e-waste exported to poorer nations without strict environmental regulations & much lower labor costs, often where crude dangerous toxic methods are used to collect gold & copper from circuit boards, old computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, battery foils, and wires where the insulator burned off in crude fires emitting toxic smoke since the wire insulator treated with bromine to inhibit flammability, which ends up in the smoke particles or PM which damages human lung tissue in addition to mixing with rain to form dilute nitric & sulfuric acid rain which is toxic to bodies of water & marine wildlife, which damages the fishing industry just like mine waste runoff also toxic to birds & fish. 

Citizen Promaster Marine Automatic Green Dial Men's Watch NY0040-09W Purchased Feb 10, 2024 $228.90

 

Watch my personal YouTube video about this one https://youtu.be/UKJilV0fCGM?si=-ho4rI_riB2dNOoG

The FUGU versions are $549 from Citizen on their website with metal link bands, but on sale for $446 for the Lunar Holiday Sale. I found this 2016 launch year model with the cheaper rubber strap for $207 on Amazon, though the listing surprisingly sparse with information. No exhibition glass back & mineral crystal not sapphire unlike the more expensive newer versions. 

Got it today Tuesday Feb 14th, 2024, at 12:34pm :) Glad its a 2023 model (Checked # on the case online) Got the updated Miyota 8204 with hacking & hand winding :) Love the dial color more green than yellow, well light yellow green. You're also paying a little more for a little less to get the Citizen Automatic for its "Japanese" quality excellence & reputation focus, perhaps like buying a Toyota or Lexus, which are renowned worldwide for having legendary reliability as automobiles. 

In 1987 Jame Bond The Living Daylights with actor Timothy Dalton, was wearing the TAG Heuer Professional 980031 which can be seen in the following image extract from YouTube video https://youtu.be/dpQVp7_LKEs?si=wW6ch3ZMcTniuLvQ 9:41 through 10:26 

Sail to the Moon (Requiem for NASA Moon Missions) A Song By Radio Head (Album Art Words)

It brings me a deep-seated pining & heart ache that people deny that NASA ever sent men to Earth's Moon during the Moon Missions at NASA in the 1960's & 1970 given there is a mountain of evidence, including a lot of moon rocks returned. 

Radiohead is a band that I have been listening to for some time now, starting in college, later via an iPod Touch 4 & right now via YouTube music. The cover art for the song contains a lot of words that have profound mass media meanings in terms of public thought or the spirit of the times, or zeitgeist. 

Horology or Chronometry || Time + Watches + Clocks || Mechanical || Automatic || Quartz || Obsession

Understanding that time an esoteric, mysterious, continual, non-discrete phenomena & the S.I. unit Second or S manmade or synthetic or artificial, a way of putting unit boxes defined into precise repeatable units for counting using accounting, math, science & technological means & methods, tools devices, the science of time known as Horology, like the cesium fountain atomic clocks at NIST or the National Institute of Standards & technology.

Time one of the 7 fundamental physical quantities in both International System of Units (SI) & International System of Quantities. SI base unit of time is the second, defined by measuring the electronic transition frequency of cesium atoms.

A cheap $15 digital sports watch made almost entirely of polymers or plastics with a B&W LCD display powered by a lithium coin cell like a CR2032 in the eponymous Casio G-Shock line with 10 yr Batteries for example.

One of the most common thoughts that people have "What time is it" along with "I need to pee" "I am hungry" "What should I eat" so we know that timekeeping with watches & clocks a major part of human cultures & societies worldwide today! 

Many cheap plastic gear train quartz fashion watches exist that are powered by tiny SMC377 cheap alkaline batteries and are available for under $30 in a wide variety of styles & looks, that have 1 seconds per month accuracy superior to even high end automatic mechanical watch movement in expensive wristwatches that cost thousands of times more, or what Business Insider calls So Expensive in their aptly named YouTube channel or show. 

So how can elite high end watch companies charge $1000 to $5million for a wristwatch? 

Silicon mainspring, entirely hand made textured movement parts assembled on 50+ jewel bearings with 120 hours of power reserve in an iridium housing accented with platinum & diamonds, attached to a titanium nitride ceramic band with tungsten titanium alloy screw pins electroplated in niobium oxide, with so many complications that it makes the most bag of bee's crazy hair dresser seem of a sound mind by comparison. 

"Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future" according to the related wikipedia entry! 

In a world with so many problems, so much preventable poverty, increasing income inequality, currency inflation debacle, wars, crime & worse, how can anyone pay so much for a wrist watch? 

Brands like Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, Panerai, Rolex, TAG Heuer, Hublot, Breitling, Blancpain, IWC, Schaffhausen, Breguet, Glashutte Original, Audemars Piaget, Piaget, Richard Mille, Ulysse Nardin, Grand Seiko, Tudor, Zenith, Bulgari, Chopard, Girard-Perregaux, Longines, Montblanc, Omega, ETA, Casio, Citizen, Van Cleef & Arpels, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Frederique Constant, Harry Winston, Patek Philippe, MeisterSinger, Verdure Watches. These companies are able to charge customers as much as a nice car, new motorcycle, or in some case a fancy house, for a wristwatch, thats just "Stupid" says my lovely wife Meg, who expands by saying "Even if I had that kind of money, I would rather use that money to help someone else, not wear it on my wrist"

Knife or Knives | One of Mankind's Earliest Tools

Ancient art of knife making started by strike stones that fracture into sharp edges used as primitive cleavers to render meat from hunted animals, later to make arrow tips for bow & arrow. Known by many names over time & available in many different forms & types, today the knife industry worth hundreds of billions as knives are used in kitchens all around the world, for sport, hunting & in many other applications.

The wikipedia page on Knife a good example of quality encyclopedia content or factual historical information that is accurate, precise, fact based on historical evidence & extensively cross referenced from many kinds of works, websites & sources, and for all intents and purposes a perfectly valid academic resource.

To cut sounds simple, & cutting can be simple, but when you consider surgical scalpels, hand forged Japanese samurai swords, wet stone sharpening blades by hand, feel & eye, or grinding blades on stone wheels to cut an edge into the steel alloy blade material, these arts of blade making can take a lifetime to master & anything but simple or easy. 

Tea the Most Consumed Drink in the World

Ordinary plain water the most widely consumed beverage in the world, but it occurs as fresh water in nature, making tea the most popular man made beverage which started in 59 BC China in terms of dried oxidized Camellia Sinensis leaves infused in hot water for a few minutes, producing lovely light golden honey color warm beverage that can be cooled off or served ice cold as a summer beverage in warm weather known as Iced Tea, which is often also sweetened with sugar or honey, or a Fog tea made by adding milk to the hot tea.

Firstly Water to Tea Leave Ratio 

1 teaspoon of dry tea leaves per 8 fluid ounces of hot water, or in metric since the rest of the world not America thats about 237 ml of water per 4 grams of tea leaves, I am talking about loose leaf tea leaves not that low brow stuff in tea bags where they rip you off by only putting 1 or 2 grams of tea of lower quality tea leaves ground up funny into weirdly small bits of tea leaves, almost reminding me of the reclaim factor floor sweepings from cigarette manufacturing plants that is collected and added to cigarettes, pretty gross if you ask me. 

Tea Hot Water Temperatures & Brewing Time 

The temperature & time you brew your tea leaves influences the flavor, aroma, taste, smell & nutrition of the resulting tea beverage, though adding stuff like sugar will more strongly affect the nutritional qualities.

I recommend green tea brewed straight with 175-185 F or 79 to 82 C for about 2 minutes, enjoyed straight with nothing added. 

Black tea can be brewed with full on 100 C or 212F rolling boil hot water for 3 to 5 minutes

White tea like green tea, so 175-185 F or 79 to 82 C for about 1 to 2 minutes, but I don't like white tea

Oolong is really good, it does well brewed at 195 F or 90 C for 2 to 3 minutes! 

Molecular Gastronomy | Beneficial Fermentation vs Rotting & Spoilage

Breaking down complex carbohydrates & proteins into amino acids, alcohol & carbon dioxide, the reason that specific strains of yeast are added to wort in beer making or dough in bread making or in kimchi or sauerkraut or other pickled or fermented veggies. 

Add sliced carrots to a 2% saline solution in a jar for about a week & the resulting pickled fermented carrots are more nutritious & tastier than the raw carrot slices that went into the slightly salty water for a week or so.

Beneficial microbes, yeast fungi, and certain bacteria break down foods in organized desirable ways to produce yogurt from whole milk for example. When we have a container of strawberries on our counter that grows mould from spoiling, thats undesired microbial activity that causes food rotting. 

E=MC^2 Cold Condensed Energy Ordinary Macro--Molecular Reality in "The Universe"

We live in one dimensional level of existence, for which there are many more. This universe is just one of many universes, and each contains many levels of existence as at all scales of energy. 

We are literally as human conscious experiences blinded from a much broader deeper truth about existence that God exists in without any limitation. God has unlimited knowledge about all things past, present & future, exists everywhere at the same time, and has strength, power & might unmatched, in part because God exists at the highest levels of all realms of existence. God owns everything in all realms as the master creator & legitimate owners of all matter & energy.

We exists on Earth in our local boondocks rural solar system in the Milky Way because of the undeserved favor of God & his creative output making entropy defeating living organism in the biosphere of Earth, and energetic information encoded beings made of light like Angels, and Demons or Spirit, which have power because they are non-living or live endlessly, and are not limited by physical bodies or death, very much unlike limbic human flesh being made of epigenetic and DNA encoded physical ordinary matter that self assembles into systems of cell systems in the human body, which is born without knowledge of anything as a baby whose brain takes 27 years to fully develop, then gradually declines until 100 years of age or so when the adult human becomes more like a baby again. 

Our soul or mind or will or volition or emotions or consciousness not made of physical matter or ordinary elements, its made of energy encoded with information, and exists like software on a hardware based computer, as energy exchanges of valence electrons & free electrons in organize patterns like information sent of fiber optic networking as optical photon packets carrying data. 

In order to live continually we have to ditch our bodies & become energetic beings. Want proof, look into Remote Viewing & how it works, or astral projection and how it works! Only one dimensional level above the one we live in enables faster than light travel, superposition, lacks ordinary physical materials or matter and made entirely of energy encoded with information & energetic beings without physical bodies.

In order to travel into deep space at incredible speeds, we have to ditch our bodies and go there as consciousness energetic beings made of light. This way the proton wind in space will not erode anything and we do not need spacecraft, just thought, vision & imagination to explore the universe in the biggest fastest way possible! 

Internet special like electricity because its energy encoded with information just like consciousness Thoughts & thinking & fiat currencies are made of energy encoded as information All human institutions & economies results from shared ideas about how things should be.

Ask HOW not Why. How is an enabling idea. Why is a victim mentality. Poverty or Wealth are just mindsets or ideologies. Anyone can become fantastically wealthy if they believe it into reality, but they know money itself does not make a happy life, so its about connecting minds in more ways online, people connected to other conscious people thought information networks reflective of information moving in our brains as our minds. 

Ask yourself how the placebo effect works so well? Belief means manifestations of thoughts. Our thoughts, words, actions, create objective changes in reality. In the astral plane above this one, its all energy encoded with information & nothing physical, no physical bodies

Vision, Mindset, Goals, Ambition, Desire, Planning, Execution 

It's all mental and also why visualization a powerful technique used widely by elite performers in many domains of life. 

Believing means achieving, pursuit measures desire. What you focus on becomes your reality as thinking manifests into reality.

Thoughts & Thinking are Energy Encoded with Information. This also why studying consciousness requires tools that have not been commercialized. The mind like software running on brain computer hardware, but our mind not physical, its made of energy encoded with information.

This is also how demons whisper thoughts into peoples minds to temp them to sin Demons & Angels & Spirits live in the Astral plane above our existence universe cold condense matter dimension, have bodies non-physical made of energy encoded with information & never die //

Mind Body Connection 

What we think influences our health.

Center your mind on positive healing ideas and speak blessings over other people.

Honor your parents, love others as better than yourself.

Respect people, animals, nature & ecosystems.

Believe in creating positive change and enable others by speaking blessings over them. 

Nuclear energy trending because people widely agree that carbon combustion pollution needs to be phased out with renewables & sustainable energy from fuel breeding nuclear reactors, solar PV, wind power, energy storage, geothermal, solar thermal, tidal, hydro, wave & other power

Its about shared public belief in clean #energy & the urgent need to decarbonize all energy systems worldwide to radically reduce pollution to improve the health of all living beings in the biosphere of Earth, our friends, family, children, neighbors, animals, pets & nature.

Anything #trending or #emergent online reflects what people care about or believe in Public opinion translate into societal changes that eventually codified into laws that regulate economies, thus what we think about affects everything in life, especially the health of our body
