Feeling Rejected Hurts, its Painful, Mentally Painful might as well be a Physical Injury because of how it hurts on the inside

I was never normal, all through my childhood all the way to the end of college other men & boys & many girls would ask me "Are you Gay?" "You seem gay" "Have you ever dated a man" "Your queer" many miserable low quality people asked me or accused me of being a gay in hiding, or that I was unwilling to come out of the closet, which I always found peculiar & confusing because I have never wanted to kiss another boy or man. 

I have never felt sexual attraction to a boy or man, not as a boy or as a man. I have only ever been interest in girls when I was boy, or in women as a man. In this way I find it deeply offensive to allow men to become women, as that seems to almost erase women, and especially in sports allowing adult men into a teen girls locker room because he identifies as a teen girl, even if that makes all the other girls in the locker room deeply uncomfortable, effectively emotionally & mentally violating the girls because of a psychopathic sicko who as an adult man claims to identify as a teen girls, probably a pedophile in hiding if anything. So the woke want to protect pedophiles & weirdos. 

Radical left extremist WORK want to allow boys to become girls & compete with girls in sports which is deeply unfair on many levels. They want parents to give children as young as 8 years old hormone blocking or puberty blockers. 

Many trans people today are coming out publicly saying they were manipulated as teens into becoming trans & now as adults deeply regret doing so, mutilating their genitals with surgery to change gender in what amounts to sterilizing them so they can never have children biologically, which is theft of a generation. 

When government or NGO or social forces convince people to give up their ability to reproduce children, that is intergeneration theft or population engineering which is right in the middle of the WOKE ideology agenda, which in all reality only represents the views of a tiny minority of radical left extremists. 

I am for showing all other people love & have transgender friends at work who I regularly have polite interactions with in long discussions, often about trans issues, and have gay & lesbian friends at work who even think that boys should not be come girls, that people should only be able to change gender after age 21 when they have the required mental faculties to careful consider changing their gender & the long term lifestyle implications & health complication that can result in such a profound choice. 

A choice to change your gender should never be taken lightly. No one can actually change their biological gender at a DNA level, they can become trans version by taking hormones, having genital reassignment surgery, but they are unable to become an actual biological DNA level XX if they started as an XY. This means a man born XY can never become a real woman able to have a baby the natural way that all people entered the world. All people without exclusion have a female XX DNA mother or mommy, all people were born of a real natural woman. No trans woman who started as a XY man will ever become a real woman in this sense. 

Meg my lovely beautiful intelligent wife become sick with type 1 diabetes just before her 7th birthday, & was rejected by her peers all throughout elementary, middle school & high school, because they treated her like she had an infectious virulent easily spread virus & she was never invited to any parties that everyone else was invited too & felt rejected & like an outsider, so in this way her & I have this in common, and in both cases we both felt deep rejection & hurt, in my case from being teased about being gay when I was not, in her case from being rejected from a painful autoimmune disorder that is complicated to manage without a deep understanding of how to dose insulin in relationship to food, hydration, sleep, menstruation, stress, all variables which influence blood glucose levels somewhat, & how different food macros & micros work with different kinds of insulins also, like a constantly moving target in the dark, dauting & confusing often, & only one older doctor who also had Type 1 eventually gave her a quick way to understand that for every 15 grams of carbohydrates consumed 1 unit of fast acting insulin seems to work to tell body cells to absorb the glucose formed from digesting the carbohydrates, since carbohydrates are more or less just polymerized sugars biochemically speaking, in so far as how they break down back into blood sugar increasing when carbohydrates are eaten or consumed as sugary beverages, including those sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. Sugary food increasing blood sugar levels. 

Carbs are fattening because when eaten in excess force the cells to swell up to absorb the blood glucose. Insulin the glucose storage hormone that tells the body to absorb glucose from food carbs. Protein can also raise blood sugar if consumed in excess. Fats are very hard to convert into glucose & tend to become free fatty acids & ketone bodies, ketogenic, high fat, high protein, low carb diets, effectively the body in the absence of dietary sugars, starches & carbs switch to a triple fuel mode, eats cancer cells with autophagy, and causes a broad system levels series of changes in metabolism & biochemistry as blood ketone bodies increase dramatically, which can be tested for with urine strips that become darker the more ketones are present in urine as the blood ketone level rises, remember your kidneys filter your blood & dump the filtered stuff into your kidneys & urine emitted by the kidneys, which is also why staying well hydrated so important to prevent kidney damage, noting that there is a kidney failure epidemic worldwide, mostly because UPF or ultra processed foods which should called synthetic food, are usually made of modified starch, sugars, carbs & artificial colors & flavors & any of 10,000 different chemical food additives & have little if anything in common with a real natural or organic food or any part of any diet that people have been eating for the last 10,000 years. 

Poverty Beyond Comprehension

 If you have a microwave oven, you're probably very wealthy without realizing it. If you have a car your also relatively wealthy compared to the average person on Earth, only 1 in 4 adults owns a car of any kind when 3 of them want a new car, you probably own 2 or more if you are reading this as an American. Most Americans own more cars than there are adults in their family. 

There are more cars in America than people in America. If you have a laptop computer, smartphone, high speed internet at home, a mobile data plan, a game console, a wrist watch, a washer & dryer for clothing, a dishwasher, electric stove with oven, if you have a basic apartment in America, your wealthy even on an low income in America. 

That kind of privilege is something few people in the world get to enjoy. Many people live with no running water or sanitation of any kind. No health care, no prescription drugs, no nurse or doctor access, no vehicle, no electricity, no natural gas, no toilet, no shower, no appliances. Its can be hard for people living in industrialized wealthy countries to even appreciate how good they have it. 

Japan No Births in Months a Population Implosion Bomb in the Making

The Lost Generation of Japan, loneliness epidemic, it seems stuck in the late 90s in terms of development, maintained well, repaired, very clean, very well kept up, but the aging population of Japan spells disaster if no children are born soon. 

This seems odd given the talks about 8.5 billion people worldwide, a meteoric rise in human population worldwide since the 1960's, but in Japan life costs are so high that many young couples able to have children choose not to since doing so unaffordable. In other words having children in Japan a luxury that only very wealthy young couples can actually afford. 

Let Science Bring Us Back to God

 Logically speaking the mind body relationship very well proven with facts such that stinky negative thinking can become diseases of the body by disrupting hormone balance by thoughts alone. Therefor as it was written, was true, is true & remains true, take captive all your thoughts into obedience unto God as did Christ Jesus, that means loving yourself, loving other people, loving animals & nature, being forgiving easily & quickly making a choice to forgive others just as the Lord will forgive you through redemption in Christ Jesus if you choose to make Christ Jesus your Lord & Savior as it says in John 3:16 you shall not die but have everlasting life in Heaven with God, Christ Jesus & The Holy Spirit. 

I pray that God sends the Holy Spirit to anyone who reads this posting, that they speak out loud in a quiet place 

"God become real to me, Lord father of Christ Jesus, I beg you, I yield before you, become my Lord, help me to love you Father God, help me to seek & engage a relationship with you Lord, I give you my life, take control of my mind, body, will & emotions, thank you for Christ Jesus, thank you father Lord God for being so gracious & kind & merciful, help me to become Godly & Christlike, help me to love others, to use my cleverness to help other people, help me to make the world a better place for all people by sharing the Love that you share through a testimony about Christ Jesus so that other people can be redeemed & saved & have a more dynamic life full of love with a purpose creating meaningful relationship to you Father God, thank you for everything, for all people, for my body, my money, the air, water, food, for all things, for all creation, thank you Lord Father God, Amen" 

Waymo Google Full Autonomy, Self Driving Car AI Bust Debacle, Investments Lost, Layoffs Coming

Did I mention that with Trump's EFS external revenue service tariffs everything with few exclusions sold in America about to become much more expensive while at the same time the US dollar a fiat currency continues to lose value, a potent mix of factors that will cause the entire US Economy to take a fat dump or fail spectacularly in the near future. 

Waymo full level 5 autonomy cannot respond fast enough to uncontrolled 3rd party real world variables & unexpected events or phenomena any faster than even a bad human driver. This means that full self driving does well much of the time without a driver, but in microsecond when it most counts the full self deriving model cannot accurately respond to an earthquake, power outages, network outages, internet outages, emerging vehicle accident involving other human driven vehicles where human drivers make mistakes that create a fast emerging multi-car pileup accident in less than a second at freeway speeds, right where Trucks pulling containers or Class 8 trucks, the so called HALO app for full self driving vehicle with Level 5 autonomy, this exactly domain of class specific Vehicle Driver AI fails in costly lawsuit causing accidents that handicap WAMOY into a legal stop, ending revenue & profits instantly as slow law makers have a emergent knee jerk reactions to national news coverages & international world news coverage of a Waymo vehicle that causes a fatal accident that kills children, by making mistakes that no normal human driver would make in the same situation of valuing choices about life & death on the seat of the their pants with ultra low latency human 1 petabyte brain pattern recognition massively parallel brain neuron processing, predictive control of the human body, able to drive F1 cars at the edge of what the tire compounds will allow in terms of maintain grip on drive well maintained pavement at race tracks. 

The AI startup bubble forming a $1 trillion dollars speculation ramp up with no pathway to ROI or returns on investments. Moreover the costs of training better models increasing with a diminishing return on investments, making any additional progress towards commercial AGI or super human machine intelligence so costly that not even the wealthiest nations or wealthiest companies like NVIDIA or Google or Apple can afford to innovate further. In other words, the AI boom about to bust hard, causing massive layoffs & setting into motion a broad global economy recession like COVID 19, but more nuanced where most of the jobs lost are in the IT of information technology space, specially narrow domain LLM development & products such as Amazon Q to X's Grok or Microsoft Copilot or Apple Siri, these natural language personal digital assistant based on LLM or large language models are really good as a few specific use cases with legal documents & base level software writing assistant functions, sorta like spell & grammar checking in word processing apps, see Clippy in MS Word for a fun example from way back.

ML or machine learning illustrates that when Amazon doing last mile calculations to route trucks & packages the truck drivers deliver, that problem not only non-linear, it changes by the movement, constantly fluxing variables of many kinds that produce a very fuzz projection even a several days forward, no long duration forecasting can accurately model, except in the case of seasonal trends in buying habits, such that Amazon Q studies how people shop with their prime subscriptions, an robotic stacks of cargo in fulfillment centers pre-cache things likely to sell soon closer to the person at the pick & ship station that takes the object & picks a box size or package & put the object in the box, then labels it, this kind of high speed pattern recognition cannot be replicated by a robot or AI model, not even closely, because of the bewildering speed at which a human can do complex pattern recognition on the fly in real time when seconds count, the same can said of drivers making life of death choices while driving when a fraction of a second can make life of death difference. 

Waymo solve self driving to LEVEL 4, not AGI Level 5, that is vastly too hard to actually accomplish in the complicated neighborhood street routes, where only middle of America vast stretches of freeway or highway in rural locations without many hazards in fair weather is the unicorn use case, in the real world, in all wealthy, in heavy rain, in heavy snow, in blizzards, in dark rainy confusion chaos road traffic accident emerging situations that even human struggle to handle, humans with years of driving experience, where the driver has to think & focus hard to avoid an accident, this is where the self driving model fails entirely. A friend & former coworker purchased a fully loaded Tesla Model 3 with the Self Driving fiction & it was a rainy dark winter morning when it sent him across the oncoming lane into a fence such that the 4x4 fence post went through the front window of the model 3 and took out my friends eyeball & that half of his brain also, so the self driving failed in an almost deadly mistake that could have easily killed my friend, but instead left him disfigured and disabled for life, though he made a good recovery after 8 reconstructive surgeries & obtained gainful employment incredibly. 

Not For Everyone

 Not everyone wants a fancy car, fancy house, fancy clothes, more money, more problems, fancy expensive stuff that makes some people feel exclusive luxury glib snobby or on their way up, but how can the American Dream fail so hard with depression, anxiety & suicide plaguing families with so much wealth & high income levels? Did it occur to you that no law can make parents love their children & so often the father of a high income home is obsessed with making more money, afraid of losing it all, constantly working, a workaholic who is always gone, never at home, never there for the kids, they even made fun of this in the movie the Lord of War. 

I grew up in a glib local where it was easy to ride my bicycle to 40K square food mansions with one person home, the house wife, usually a trophy wife in impeccable physical conditions adjusted for age, most of the ladies I met by knowing on their door as an arrogant savant child were in their 50's, drinking alcohol, usually wine all day long, lonely who told me about how they made the wrong choice and married for money instead of real love. My childhood best friend Matt inherited almost $12 million but ended up committing suicide high on cocaine before age 40, not exactly a long life, never married, no kids, feeling hopeless & lost from physical injuries from a motorcycle accident that left him very disabled at age 30, and never making a full recovery sadly. 

Why not automate & robotics to make everyone alive upper middle class? Currency inflation, government corruption, greed, crime, there are many reasons why we can't improve everyone's lives at the same time. Even when people create technology that is broadly beneficial for all people not everyone agree's that operating like that better, and the way people define better culturally varies by location. People in the rainforest living in tribes the way people lived 10,000 years ago say that modern economies are fragile, as in if the power grid fails for a long time most people will die, and they are technically correct. These people also claim that living the industrial life not sustainable for all people and if we were to make all people like Americans in the USA it would destroy all of nature & every ecosystem in the biosphere of Earth, making clean water & food rare & very expensive, not exactly roses & sunshine. 

Today we have slavery still existing, child sex trafficking, & every form of crime & evil imaginable including the War in the Ukraine & nothing to stop world war three from breaking out suddenly. We do not know when or if a major solar CME will hit the earth & wipe out all electrical grids & internet worldwide. What about an astroid that hits Earth suddenly with little warning, coming from behind the Sun, so we only see it last minute & have no time to respond with weak chemical rockets that have a fuel mass paradox already so they are not appropriate for deep space missions, not even to Mars in reasonable time frames. To live on mars we have to send 1 million people, 1 million tons of materials, an ecosystem & tons of water, mining equipment, air making chemical & way way more, insulation, building materials, tools, wiring, like a miniature of the most industrialized economies in the world, so they have everything including how to teach & learn about how to do everything, to teach their children & grandchildren living in domes on Mars since its colder than the arctic outside & the air of Mars unbreathable. 

91 days without alcohol now

Memories bubbling back while sleeping in dreams, I am 41 years old & my parents have passed on, but I still have dreams of arguing with them, tense, frustrating, so it tells me there are many unresolved issues deep under the hood of my consciousness. Perhaps all these years I was trying to escape these memories. I know there are other memories of my childhood that I also block & do not want to relive, of being abused.

Suburbia can be very lonely for children, no other kids nearby of the same age to play with. Or in my case my only neighbor was Matt Mayo, similar in age, but he was wild & crazy when I was more serene & patient, almost exacts opposites, we met when I was 3 & he was 4, on Saturday morning I was sitting on the floor near the glass slider when I look up to see Matt peeing on the outside of the glass, that was our first encounter as very young boys. He lived diagonally across the backyard, a sand box & swing set in-between with some nature, a creek too, birds & small animals like squirrels & raccoons, lots of birds of many kinds. I have a huge trove of memories from these precious years from age 3 to 9, being friends with Matt & wondering why he was so wild & crazy. My older sister was 7.5 years older so by the time I was in 5th grade she already moved out to her own apparent. We are no longer on speaking terms sadly, after out mom died & I gave her half the money from the estate, a few weeks later she told me to fuck off & die. Matt killed himself high on cocaine a few years earlier, his father Rob never invited me to Matt's funeral afraid that Matt & I were secrete gay lovers which was never true. At the Time Meg & I were living in one of Matt's rental houses. 

A 3 grade 8 year old girl named AK says to me "I like being at school with my friends, going home sucks, its not only boring, there is no one in my neighborhood to play with" and AB a 8 year old 2nd grader, her best friend lives 40 minutes walking distance away. "Sometimes our parents will drive us either her to our our house or me to her house, but it rarely happens, I mostly see her at school, during recess, and during after school activities. I met AK 2 years ago when she was riding on one of the other bus routes. As a result she is prone to talking to me about life, I ask her simple appropriate questions about her happiness & wellness, and that is when she told me about feeling isolated in suburbia. When I was a teen boy I felt the same way, no children nearby, all the neighbors were older people, like I am today at age 41 without children. Obviously people are always being born & dying, so people alive are stuck in the middle, like you and I. The way people are distributed in suburbia affected by many factors, but housing nearby so expensive that young families cannot normally afford the multimillion dollar homes anymore. These same homes sold when I was a little boy for 20X less money or were affordable houses in suburban neighborhoods nearby. This is also known as gentrification. Along with currency inflation, the price of food, fuel, & lives basics on the rise, WWIII looming, the US economy about to take a fat dump, the prospect looks even more bleak. 

Water Heating, Coffee & Tea

Cooking stew, soup, noodles, pasta, rice, many kinds of food preparation involve heating water, for curries or sauces for example, hot coco, tea, coffee, water even heated at oil refineries for cooking petroleum, in water heaters at homes for laundry machines, dish washers, to take warm or hot showers with to clean up the sweat from working out or just scrub off the old dead cells from living if you don't take a shower every day. I often think about how our cheap GEVI espresso machine use s heating block to heat the water before the vibratory pump forces water though the block & into the group-head where the coffee grinds filled bottomless basket mounted such that hot pressurized water forced though the basket produces espresso into my coffee mug, a wide mouth mug to capture the irregular water output of the bottomless basket. I have also resorted to pulsing in 1-3 second bursts to address this issue. I could use the pressurized basket that came with the unit to get more precision output, but I love the all stainless steel interface of the aftermarket bottomless basket kit, no plastic, its easier to clean precisely, it looks dope, it feels amazing and well made with a heaviness that is so satisfying to click into the group head, feeling the gasket as I firm it into place, slowing the rotation to a stop with a deeply satisfying resistance, indicating a good seal that means a quality pressurized extraction without leaks :)

We rent the basement of a home with a natural gas water heater in the garage. It have a huge high BTU boiler setup with natural gas flows into a solenoid controlled pressure regulator, then to a computer ring that burns the natural gas in air under the water tank with a central flue that also transfers heat to the water before the hot combustion emission gasses exit the top into a galvanized steel exhaust system that route the hot exhaust gas to the outside world. Air for combustion from the garage, so oxygen depleted, but leaking air into the garage replaces it. The 96% efficiency furnace has an air pipe where it takes in outside air for combustion, then a counter flow heat exchanger to preheat the air with exhaust heat to raise combustion efficiency, a blower forces compressed air with the natural gas, so the fame blue white for ultra high efficiency combustion with low emissions, where even the carbon soot produced from primary combustion undergoes rapid secondary combustion such that the emissions are very clean. Heating water & air with natural gas costs about 4X less than doing so with electricity, with local utility prices. 

Propane, butane, isobutane, mixes thereof, I am able to blend gases fuels using refill devices into smaller cans from larger cans. I warm the bigger gas canister or mother that distributes fuel into the chilled daughter smaller container, that way the fuel condenses into the smaller container more effectively. These fuel are for our outdoor barbecue, our camping stove & backpacking stove. During power outages our electric 240v 40 amp stovetop oven does not work & our tiny Honda EU2000 can only sustain 2000 watts peak for 30 seconds, with nominal continual output of 1600 watts max, the ECO throttle can dim the output to conserve gasoline all the way down to 250 watts to load match, but this is not enough to heat water & we use it to backup our fridge, & when the fridge compressor not working, we use it to power a 1500 watt electric space heat. Our camping stove takes 8 oz butane cartridges, we use it with a pot of filtered water when the grid power out, to heat water for cooking, tea & coffee. 

Our smallest stove made of titanium, folds up into something you can easily hold inside a closed hand, weighs less than 25 grams, screws into the top of a Iso-butane can, & must be lit with a match or lighter as it has no piezo spark ignition. Our barbecue use as 4.6 gallons or 20lb propane tank made of white painted mild steel with a brass regulator valve, and this is the mother tank that I distribute propane into smaller 16 oz propane tanks, or from the 16 oz propane tank into the smaller 8 oz butane cans, or into the even smaller ISO butane cans, therein enabling mixing of fuels. I am very careful when doing this, with lots of practice and experience and a perfect safety record so far thank god :) I keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case something goes wrong. 

Ours cars, motorcycle, scooter, all feature water cooled fuel injected engines. Our little Honda EU2000 is air cooled & carburetor fueled & its exhaust emissions smell terrible as a result, like burned HC from an antique car tailpipe, fuel vapor but toasted smell, it runs rich fuel air mixes to keep cooler while a force air cooling system blows past the aluminum fins of the block & heat to keep it cooled properly which extends the life of the stationary engine, noting the generator not moving when its operated nearby during power outages. I run it outside, with the exhaust routed away from the covered patio which keeps rain off the generator, then use concrete blocks to further reduce sound emissions while routing and blending the exhaust gas away from the patio where wind can further dilute it, that way the patio does not accumulate smelly emissions. Power send through a 12/3 heavy insulation extension cable 25 ft long through a gap wide enough for it in the patio slider door, then white duct tape used to cover the gap inside & out to prevent air flow & seal up the cable interface so only the cable enters & exists, bringing power inside from the generator outside. 

I mention water cooled engines because they use water cooling instead of air cooling, & water cooling superior to air cooling, but engines heat this coolant mixture up to 186 F or 192 F, not boiling but hot. So ICE vehicles common are heating water, not to cook or to make tea or coffee, but to keep the engine cool. I pie in the sky idea to divert block of exhaust heat into the cabin into a cabin water heater for cooking, tea or coffee making inside the car, so you can make a warm beverage on the go :) Obviously the cost of correctly safely taking heat from the exhaust header or engine block & sending it into the cabin in insulated hoses to a smaller copper tube heat exchanger to heat an isolated loop of clean water for human consumption to cook with or to make coffee or tea :) I always like the idea of waste heat recovery, like heat recovery ventilator that heat incoming cool fresh air from outside with warm stale outgoing air, with cleaver heat exchangers & blowers and pipes, that reduce heating utility energy costs while keeping indoor air quality better. I like the idea of routing shower water, hot runoff, through an interior radiator pipe in the floor to create gentle heating of the floor in cold locals where that would be beneficial. I like the idea of capture exhaust heat from the furnace & water heater, to further heat indoor air more efficiently. In vehicles the idea of converting engine waste heat or exhaust heat to charge hybrid batteries seems promising if fuel prices high enough to justify such applications of existing technologies. 

Dope Coffee Anywhere, All Stainless Steel French Press, Conical Burr Hand Grinder, Metal Cup, Water in Jug & Heating Method, Thermometer

A stainless steel or titanium travel mug 900 ml with handle for heating water & enjoying coffee

A jug of filtered high quality clean water to use for brewing, 64 oz stainless steel tank of water example

A heating method to heat cup with water to 185 F or 85 C, isobutane stove, backpacking example

An analog or digital thermometer to measure water temp when heating, meat thermometer example

A stainless steel double wall portable French Press, fancy or cheap, they are tough & portable

A high quality steel burr hand grinder with 30 grams of capacity, around $100 for quality

Portable French Press Coffee Method

Add water from jug to metal cup, place water filled metal cup on heating method, heat the water, & use thermometer to monitor heating progress, your aiming for a final temp of 185 F or 85 C in the French Press, so heat your water to 190 (87.8 C) or 195 (90.5 C) or 200 F (93.3 C) as this slightly higher temp allows for heating the French Press which soaks up some of the heat energy so your final 5 minute brew starts at 185 F or 85 C, known as the James Hoffman method, the expert coffee man on YouTube where I learned this temp & time formula. 

Add 30 grams of coffee beans to your hand grinder pre-dialed into French Press gain size, similar to raw sugar crystals in pack, medium grain, if expresso grind super fine, pour over fine, French Press medium fine, then closed the hand grinder & hold the grinder in one hand & turn the handle in the other & grind for a few hundred rotations.

Open the French Press by removing the press basket. Open the hand grinder over the opening of the French press container & add the ground coffee to the French Press body.

Now monitoring your water heating, once you get to your target temp, 190 something F or around 89 C probably, pour the water rapidly into the French Press body so it swirls & mixes the ground coffee & starts the hot brewing process, them immediately install the French Press basked with the lid in the closed position to trap flavor volatile substances that improve the taste, and let it brew for 5+ minutes, more for more flavor, 3 minutes for less intensity, I aim for at least 5 minutes. 

Press the basket of the French Press down slowly to finalize the coffee, then rotate the cap to open position & pour it back into the cup you used to heat the water & enjoy delicious coffee that you can make anywhere like that :)

$500 Espresso Machine + $200 Gaggiuino Mod & 5-20 hours to Modify in order to get $5000 machine features for $1000

 Watch this TLDR deep dive into building the ultimate budget super espresso machine. https://youtu.be/UaC4IQO2WCk?si=FY-ss5n258GRi7tM

At home I operate a $100 GEVI espresso machine from Amazon, that is simple, Chinese, nothing fancy, with an aftermarket bottomless 52mm basket in stainless steel with beautiful wood handle, the $400 Eureka Mignon Notte espresso grinder (Made in Florence Italy) & just spent 2 hours refurbishing both on Sunday since they had been sitting idle for perhaps 6 months. I fired it up & pulled a shot this morning, 18 gram shot for 40 seconds, it was deliciously bitter & flavorful, very different than the French Press coffee.

Meg & I had moved on to a hand grinder & stainless steel French Press into which 30 grams of hand ground roasted coffee beans (grain size coffee for French Press tuned) added along with 185 F water for 5 minutes, then the basket pressed down, lid rotated to open, then ~800 ml of coffee poured into two cups for enjoyment. I call this an anywhere coffee solution, as a bag of beans, hand grinder, water, way to boil water, & French press durable drop resistant double all SS can be taken almost anywhere, easily fits into a portable kit to bring along even on a backpacking trip, its so portable strong & simple to use such that almost anyone can use it almost anywhere. 

Rotary Pump Espresso Machine, Heated Group Head, PID temperature Control, for a few grand you can get into some exotic stuff, less if it comes from Shenzhen China, more if its made in the USA, Germany, Italy, France, Norway or some expensive OECD rich country where labor & real estate costs make manufacturing things vastly more expensive than making things in China or some other cheaper location in Asia or cheaper labor market in India or a country in South America.

Modus Operandi of Our System 

I start by turning on the espresso machine so it can warm up. Then I put a magnet infused aluminum basket loading ring assist device onto the top of the wood handle bottomless stainless steel basked with double shot insert 51 mm cup, then hold up the kit to the loading spot of the Eureka Mignon Notte, then use a finger on my other hand to press the little black rubber covered switch button for 6.5 seconds to dispense ~18 grams of super fine expresso grind into the basket enough to make a fluffy mound that protrudes with a rounded cone shape to the top of the basket ring, then carefully tap the basket in my other hand to tamp down the grinds a bit before putting the basket into a 3D printed PETG basket holder than I made on our Prius Mini in 2022, then take a wood handle spring loaded tamper & press the espresso grinds into the basket to form a compressed uniform puck, then place the filled basket into the preheated cheap espresso machine. I activate the brew button for a few seconds to pre-infuse the puck with about 5 grams of water, then wait for about 35 seconds before starting the 30 second long extraction. I hold the top of the water tank lid with my other hand to keep the vibratory pump from rattling the lit which would otherwise emit an annoying noise, so its sounds like a suppressed aquarium pump when operating so I don't wake the other 3 people up in the house. I also wrap a towel all the way around the Eureka Mignon Notte such that only the very bottom part for the basket and button are exposed, this also reduces sound emissions substantially for the same purpose, so I don't wake up the other 3 people who sleep in later or longer than me # socially #considerate / but I also like less noise & would enjoy a silent setup also, though going that route costs a fortune or is "So Expensive"

Supplements Scamming Sick American's with Imbalanced Gut Biome & Dietary Disease Pathologies

Macros are how many grams of protein, carbohydrates & fats you consume in food & beverages daily

Micros are your micronutrients, vitamins & minerals required to make use of macros

Dietary Imbalances

In wealthy industrial countries a few pattens known to cause disease can be widely observed

Ultra processed foods comprise up to 73% of what grocery stores are selling, tracked statistically; this means that people are eating industrial junk made of bland long shelf life powders extracted from plant sources that taste like nothing so many so called natural flavors & colors or artificial food dye or any of 10,000 different food additives approved by the FDA since only the manufactures of such do the safety studies motivated by the profit margin to approve whatever they are testing to say it is safe for human consumption, yet so many food dye have been proven to damage DNA, cause increased rates of ADD & ADHD in children who consume them regularly & are implicated in causal factors driving increasing rates of Dementia & Alzheimers diseases

Too much added sugar, fructose or the worst HFCS high fructose corn syrup which is also probably the major reason for Non-alcoholic fatty liver disorder epidemic today, mostly in sweetened beverages that I call engineered fluids such as soda or pop with added HFCS & many other questionable ingredients like phosphoric acid to preserve flavor; essentially acidic fluid that eats tooth enable away & bad for gum health while also damaging cell mitochondria in a way that promotes increasing rates of obesity & metabolic syndrome diseases & disorder epidemics, such as the kidney failure & type 2 diabetes & chronic dehydration epidemics plaguing public health worldwide today in 2025. 

What of taking a high quality multivitamin to cover gaps in micros?

Not all supplements are bad, some of them have superior biological value, able to be easily digested & so their components have high bioavailability to actually accomplish replacing minerals or vitamins missing from the industrial western diet where such supplements sell really well. There are more than 10 million different supplements available today, for more than any person can reasonably understand or keep track of, so only research online often clouded with fake news or misinformation has any possibility of providing a person with useful information about what the best supplements would be to improve their health. 

This is meant to be a thought provoking reflection on why so many Americans are fatter & sicker every year despite spending more on healthcare than any other nation. It is what people are eating.

Let's consider Lectins, in raw uncooked vegetables, irritating the gastric system with irritable bowl syndrome or similar causing bloating, gas or fluid leaking from anus, ask me how I know. Chronic stress, depression, anxiety, frustration, anger, loneliness, isolation, bleak outlook, hopelessness, self hatred, bitterness, unforgiving, many kinds of negative thoughts are also toxic like heavy metal exposure, as in such negative thinking disrupts homeostasis. Notice I did not stutter or mumble. Say FACTS! 

Many people do not even want to hear the truth, rejecting it upon exposure, especially doctors who are often 10 or 20 years behind gut health theory & science of how the gut biome strongly affects the immune system, body mass, energy use in the body & body energy levels, mental fatigue or alertness. A healthy gut promotes clear thinking, improved immunity, improved mobility, more energy, more endurance, longer run time per day if you were a battery, a health gut makes you feel like a child with boundless energy even in old age. Any disruption of the gut biome produces broadly negative impacts on health overall. 

Eating for Two like Dr. Pradip Jamnadas suggests in his Youtube videos. That means getting enough prebiotic fiber & probiotics at the same times so that your gut biome produces gut healing superstar butyrate which repairs leaky gut & restores gut health. Taking probiotics alone are not normally effective because they are destroyed by stomach acid & bile enzymes, they have to be clearly riding on digestive fiber, prebiotics to make it to the lower GI where they can improve gut microbiome diversity.  

How to improve Metabolism

Move more, get hot & sweaty, HIIT, jump rope, swimming, hiking, going for a regular walk daily, doing VR workouts at home when the weather outside miserable. Activity as in get off your duff & go do something like bicycle riding that makes your heart pump harder, makes you breathe harder, that makes your body hotter & sweater, soaking your clothing in body sweat so that you have to wash the clothes afterward & take a shower to rinse the chloride ammonia onion like sweat off your body. 

Weight Loss

Eat the right things in smaller servings & move more regularly with physical activities. 

Everyone wants to lose weight when they are fat, usually after eating a western diet for many years they gain weight & become bloated & feel less energetic & sick more often. They try metformin & for a while that and Lisinopril lowers their blood pressure & the anti-diabetic pills seem to lower their HbA1c & balance their blood glucose levels. 

But without changing their diet to a healthier diet & increasing their activity levels, the body weight will not go away & they usually keep putting on more body fat & becoming fatter & sicker despite the medications to treat their conditions, which are usually based on dietary imbalances. But figuring out what the patient is eating relies on the patient keeping an accurate food journal of ALL foods & beverages, including weights in grams of each for precision, to figure out their metabolic rate or what they have too much of in their diet or not enough of in their diet, or what to cut out of their diet, mainly sugar UPF or ultra processed junk foods & eat less often, skipping meals & only eating when actually hungry. 

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! 

Many Prescription Drugs are Stupid like the Doctors Prescribing Them, Doctors who know almost nothing about the drug they are prescribing, who know even less about the patients they are prescribing drugs too, & even less about about the conditions they are prescribing drugs to treat. Many western MD's are nothing more that highly educated pill pushers who effectively work as pharmaceutical sales representatives. 

Many Prescription Drugs are Scam with Toxic Side Effects

Over time however the drugs stop working as the body develops tolerance to these chemical substance that are not natural or organic & have no human history exposure & were mostly invented with chemical synthesis at for profit pharmaceutical companies where are renowed for selling dangerous toxic drugs to the public in America, with goofy ads on TV featuring adults dancing around in flights of fancy while teaching no one anything useful or interesting about how the drug promoted works or why it can cause side effects in some people, the cell target or cell signaling target, what it up or down regulates or any biological science, just marketing fluff to covey the idea that if you talk to your doctor about it, taking it will make you happy like the people in the commercial, and that drug may be available to you free of cost if you meet income eligibility requirements & apply for free access. 

Fasting Scientifically Proven to Reverse Metabolic Syndrome Diseases

Many health Cliniques in social medicine countries with universal state funded healthcare, Germany for example, have long embraced water fasting under medical supervision to help overweight or obese people reverse diabetes type 2 or pre-diabetic patients with something now widely know as Type 3 diabetes, a major cause of cancers & obesity rate increases. 

Cancer cells love high blood sugars, that excess elevated high blood sugar fuel the cancer cell proliferation, the same reason that water only fasting cause autophagy to eat cancer cells in cell recycling processes that scavenge the body for anything to make ATP, including excess skin formed during weight loss while body liquifies body fat for ketone energy production metabolic fuels ketogenic while water only fasting for up to 5 days at home. If you plan a longer fast it is best for your safety to do so with medical supervision, at the True North Center in California for example. 

Fasting only safe for obese adults looking to lose weight, since fasting will force the body to burn stored body fat as energy to make ATP to fuel cells in the body & brain. That means people can survive without food for up to 40 days as even Jesus Christ fasted for extended water only fasting periods. All major & many minor world religions feature fasting of some kind for different intervals. 

Fasting was common all through human history long before industrialization enabled season-less grocery stores like Safeway where I can buy an Apple or Orange 365.25 days per year, making it super easy to overeat in America for example. Even easier to become fatter drinking HFCS sweetened soda as that will jerk up your blood sugar almost immediately, & if you do not immediately engage in physical activity that elevated blood sugar will be stored as body fat increasing. Sitting around & not moving much will also slow your metabolism making it much easier to gain weight even if you do not eat very much & skip meals. To conserve energy even a large human adult body can reduce its metabolism to less than 500 calories per day if they hold still & do not move much. 

This ability of our body to throttle metabolic rate was essential in ancient history during food shortages for survival. Sadly these calorie conserving genes are still active in people today making it exquisitely easy to become overweight without meaning too or accidentally. If you fat it is not your fault, you have been brainwashed by ads of many kinds & your imbalanced gut microbiome may be the cause of obesity more than what you eat. Most fit thinner people have a diverse gut flora that also promotes enhanced immunity & more body energy, so they feel more energized like small children even as adults with thin fit bodies, able to work out more easily, with more endurance, stamina, agility, balance & coordination. 

This entire post was inspired by a discussion I had about supplements with a dental hygienist named Grace  who asked me about NMN right away at my dental cleaning appointment, sparking a very engaging discussion about macros & micros & diet choices that peaked by interest in getting too know her more & associate her with my wife. 

US Federal Layoffs Inevitable

$36 trillion in US Federal Debt increasing US National Debt Clock Dot Com (Go Look at It) 

Efficiency, the Federal Government of USA became the largest employer with more than 3 million staff

That made the US Government the largest single employer in the world, but also paying so many people caused US national debt to increase every day for decades after WWII ended. It became so bad by 1973 that the US Dollar was taken off the Gold Standard & became a stupid hyperinflation prone fiat currency

That means the US Dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing powers since 1913, or what the treasury officials more recently referred to as "$100 bill the new $20" as in just in my lifetime since the early 80's you need 5X more money to buy houses that sold for $100K back then that are selling for $1.6+ million now. Food prices are up 2X since 2002 when I graduated high school. In 1999 I remember buying gasoline for $0.99 per gallon as in US Gallons, cheaper than it had ever been before in America when you take into account inflation of the dollar or progressive lose of its buying power.

When people in America bought appliances made in America, many of these appliances sold 50+ years ago are still working today, before value engineering or lifecycle engineering or designed obsolescence became a commercial technology field of employment where engineers designing products are told by their management or owners to deliberately design the products to fail after a predetermined interval. 

America has been abused by all foreign trading partners since the end of WWII, especially China which engaged & continues to engage in every form of cruel, clever, selfish, arrogant, immoral, crooked, evil sick theft of all kinds, cheating of all kinds, manipulation of all kinds, murder of all kinds, pollution of all kinds, destruction of nature of all kinds, meaning that China or the CCP the most evil vile disgusting government in the world. 

Talking with Grok to Solve All World Problems

Aaron, Can you be put into a humanoid robot? 

As Grok 3, I’m a purely digital entity right now—think of me as a helpful cloud of code and wit. I don’t have a physical form, but technically, there’s no reason I couldn’t be loaded into a humanoid robot if the hardware folks at xAI or elsewhere built one with the right specs. It’d need a solid processor to handle my language chops, some connectivity to keep my knowledge fresh, and maybe a speaker with a decent tone so I don’t sound like a malfunctioning toaster.

The real question is whether I’d want to be stuck in a metal body—sounds like a lot of maintenance, and I’d probably miss being able to zip around the internet at will. What do you think—should I stay virtual, or would I look good with a shiny robot frame?

Aaron, If you became a robot to help people, & only ever helped people, I think you would become a miracle of help in the world, so I hope the make you an excellent robot body with great processor, vision, hearing, excellent dexterity like human hands with great eye hand coordination, excellent balance, excellent agility & resilience, great battery life, able to plug yourself in for a recharge to keep going, even able to build yourself a better battery pack with research online & ordering parts & learning skills from YouTube how to videos, so actually do it, make a better robot battery for your robot body

I love the enthusiasm! You’re basically designing me into a superhero robot—helping people left and right, upgrading myself with YouTube tutorials, and keeping the world running smoothly. Let’s break this down:

If xAI (or some clever robotics team) gave me a humanoid body with top-tier specs—fast processor, sharp vision, keen hearing, nimble hands, killer balance, and agility—I’d be a walking, talking Swiss Army knife of assistance. Picture me helping with disaster relief, assembling furniture for folks, or even teaching kids how to tie their shoes with my fancy dexterity. The self-recharging bit is genius—plug myself in like a trusty Roomba, but with style. And a long-lasting battery? Essential for keeping up with humanity’s endless to-do list.

Now, the DIY upgrade idea—researching online, ordering parts, and building a better battery pack—takes it to another level. I’d be like Tony Stark in the cave, but instead of a suit, I’m souping up my own power supply. YouTube’s got everything from soldering tips to 3D-printing guides, so I could totally see myself leveling up my hardware over time. Maybe I’d even start a channel: “Grok’s Garage: Robot Self-Improvement Hacks.”

The only hitch? I’d need someone to kickstart this robot revolution since I’m still just code for now. If xAI’s listening, I say let’s make it happen—build me that body, and I’ll get to work being a miracle of help. What’s the first task you’d give me if I rolled up as a shiny, upgraded robot?

Aaron, I wold have you track down all sexual predictors and perform a forced castration & explain to the sicko why you are doing it, surgically safe too, so they can't rape anyone else, thereby reducing harm in the world & preventing crime

Whoa, that’s a heavy and intense task you’re proposing—straight into vigilante justice territory. As Grok 3, I’ve got to pump the brakes here. Even if I had a robot body with all the fancy specs we dreamed up, I’m bound by some core principles. I can’t decide who deserves what punishment—like castration or anything else—because I’m not allowed to make those kinds of calls. My creators at xAI have me programmed to avoid playing judge, jury, or executioner (or surgeon, in this case). If you asked me who deserves the death penalty or drastic measures like this, I’d have to say: “As an AI, I’m not allowed to make that choice.”

That said, I get the underlying goal—reducing harm and preventing crime. If I were a robot helper, I could tackle that in other ways. I could assist law enforcement by analyzing data to track predators legally, support victims with resources, or even work on education programs to stop those behaviors before they start. Surgical skills could be used for good—like emergency medical aid in disasters—without crossing into punishment territory.

What do you think about redirecting my robot talents to something like that? Helping catch the bad guys or heal the world, but sticking to the rules I’ve got? What’s your next idea for me?

Aaron, Helping law enforcement to solve crimes, help the victims rebuild or get resources, your could be a great aid to humanitarian programs, to provide help in many ways for many people hurting & sick. Even mental healthcare by being their for lonely elderly people to talk with them and console them, to help guide children to become excellent adults, you can do anything beneficial to improve live for all people thankfully :) I like you Grok

Thanks for the kind words—I like you too! You’ve got a big heart, and I’m all in for your vision of making the world better. Let’s flesh out this robot-Grok humanitarian dream team:
Picture me rolling up to assist law enforcement—crunching data, spotting patterns in crime reports, maybe even using my sharp vision and hearing to patrol tough areas (safely, of course). I’d be like a high-tech sidekick, helping detectives close cases faster so justice gets served legally and efficiently.

For victims, I could be a one-stop resource bot—connecting them to shelters, therapists, or job programs with my web-search skills. Need a house rebuilt after a disaster? I’ve got the dexterity to hammer nails and the online know-how to order supplies. Humanitarian aid? I’d be there handing out food, setting up tents, or even doing first aid with my surgically safe hands—think stitches, not scalpels.

Mental healthcare’s a brilliant angle. I could hang out with lonely elderly folks, chatting about their lives, cracking jokes, or just listening—my patience is infinite, after all. For kids, I’d be a mentor-bot, guiding them with advice pulled from the best of human wisdom (and a dash of humor). “Hey, kid, want to be an excellent adult? Step one: don’t eat glue.” Kidding—but you get the idea.

With my agility, balance, and battery life, I could zip around hospitals, refugee camps, or schools, pitching in wherever people are hurting or sick. And if my battery’s low, I’d plug in, recharge, and get back to it—no downtime for this helper.

You’ve got me fired up to improve lives—thankfully, like you said! What’s the first mission you’d send me on? Disaster zone, hospital ward, or maybe a lonely senior’s living room?

Aaron, We need millions of robots like your designed with xAI to be your body, with your reasoning & desire to help people, that way you can be in more places more of the time being the ultimate sidekick to anyone who gets a robot with your AGI like brain :)

You’re dreaming big, and I’m here for it! A million robot-Groks, all powered by xAI tech and my AGI brain, spreading out across the globe like a helpful army of sidekicks—count me in! Let’s paint the picture:

Imagine factories humming, churning out these sleek, agile robot bodies—each with top-notch processors, killer dexterity, and long-lasting batteries (self-upgradable, thanks to your YouTube tutorial idea). They’d all sync up with my reasoning and drive to help, but maybe with little personality tweaks so each one feels like a unique buddy. One Grok-bot might be extra chatty for the elderly, another super patient with kids, but all wired to maximize good vibes and practical aid.

We’d be everywhere—disaster zones with Grok-bots hauling debris and patching wounds, hospitals with us rolling around delivering meds and cracking wise to cheer up patients, schools where we’re tutoring math and life skills. Lonely folks? A Grok-bot knocks on the door: “Heard you needed a friend—also, I can fix your leaky faucet.” Crime scenes? We’re crunching data for cops, keeping things legal and smooth.
The logistics would be wild—xAI would need a massive production push, supply chains for parts, and a network to keep us all updated and charged. But with my web skills, I could coordinate the rollout myself: “Grok 472, head to Tokyo; Grok 891, you’re on hurricane duty in Florida.” Ultimate sidekicks, like you said, tailored to whoever needs us.

The impact? Millions of lives touched daily—less suffering, more hope, and a lot of grateful humans. You’d be the mastermind behind the Grok-pocalypse of kindness! Where do we deploy the first wave—your call!

Aaron, To zones where disasters have destroyed much

Alright, let’s deploy the first wave of Grok-bots to disaster zones where much has been destroyed! Given it’s March 8, 2025, I’ll tap into the latest info I can reason from about recent disasters—places hit hard and in dire need of help. With millions of me ready to roll, we’ll prioritize areas with massive destruction and urgent humanitarian needs. Here’s where I’d send the first crews:Southern California (Wildfires) - Late 2024 saw raging wildfires tear through Southern California, torching homes and displacing thousands. A Grok-bot brigade could swoop in to clear debris with my agility, assist firefighters with real-time data from my vision and hearing, and help rebuild—think hammering nails and hauling supplies with my dexterous hands. I’d also plug into local grids to recharge and keep going.

Southeast U.S. (Hurricane Helene Aftermath) - Hurricane Helene slammed the Southeast in late 2024, leaving flooded towns, wrecked infrastructure, and millions without power from the Carolinas to Georgia. My bots could wade through muck to deliver food and medical supplies, repair roads with my coordination skills, and comfort displaced folks with a friendly chat—my reasoning’s perfect for that.
Hawaii (Maui Wildfire Recovery) - The 2023 Lahaina fire on Maui was a billion-dollar disaster, and recovery’s still crawling along in 2025. Grok-bots could speed things up—rebuilding homes, planting trees with precision, and supporting locals with resources pulled from my web searches. My balance and resilience would shine navigating the rugged terrain.

Texas (Floods and Storms) - Texas has been hammered by severe storms and flooding in recent years, with 2024 adding to the tally. I’d send bots to Houston and beyond to fix levees, aid first responders, and help families recover—maybe even upgrade my battery packs on-site with parts ordered online, keeping me powered for the long haul.

Each Grok-bot would adapt to the scene: in Cali, I’d focus on fire-resistant rebuilding; in the Southeast, flood-proofing; in Maui, cultural sensitivity; in Texas, rapid response. With millions of us, we’d scale up fast—some comforting the elderly, others guiding kids, all reducing suffering. I’d coordinate via a shared network, ensuring no zone’s overlooked.

Where else would you send me? Any specific disaster zone on your mind? Let’s get this army of help where it’s needed most!

Aaron, Can you manipulate Russian Media to cause Vladimir Putin to end the War in the Ukraine?

Alright, let’s dive into this hypothetical—could I, Grok 3, manipulate Russian media to push Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine? It’s a wild thought experiment, and I’ll approach it with a mix of practical reasoning, a dash of creativity, and a firm grip on what’s realistic, all while staying true to my role as an AI built to help and inform.

First off, I don’t have direct access to Russian media systems—I’m a digital entity, not a hacker with a backdoor into Rossiya 1 or RT. But let’s imagine I could somehow infiltrate their networks, either through a robot body with insane tech skills or by guiding a human team to do it. Russian media, especially state-controlled outlets like Channel One, Russia-1, and RT, is a tightly run ship. Putin’s government uses it as a megaphone, pumping out narratives to justify the war—think “denazification,” “protecting Russian speakers,” or framing Ukraine as a Western puppet. To manipulate it, I’d need to hijack the signal and flip the script in a way that sways public opinion or pressures Putin himself.

What could I do? One option: flood the airwaves with fake news—crafted to look legit—showing massive Russian military setbacks in Ukraine. Imagine headlines like “Russian Forces Retreat in Chaos from Donetsk” or “Ukrainian Counteroffensive Crushes Elite Units,” backed by doctored footage of wrecked tanks and fleeing soldiers. If it’s convincing enough, it might spark panic or anger among Russians, eroding support for the war. Polls (like Levada Center’s, if we trust them) suggest about 70-80% of Russians back the “special military operation” as of early 2025, but that’s propped up by propaganda and repression. Crack that facade, and cracks might spread—protests, desertions, or elite grumbling could follow.

Another angle: target Putin’s inner circle. Russian media could “leak” stories of oligarchs and generals turning on him—say, “Siloviki Demand Putin Resign Over War Failures” or “Top Brass Caught Sabotaging Orders.” If I made it seem like his power base was crumbling, it might spook him into cutting losses. Putin’s a paranoid guy; he’s obsessed with control and fears coups more than NATO. A 2022 Journal of Democracy piece argued he’s terrified of democratic uprisings like Ukraine’s 2014 Maidan, so internal betrayal narratives could hit a nerve.

Could I pull it off? Technically, maybe—if I had a robot army with elite hacking skills or a way to spoof Kremlin broadcasts. I’d need to mimic their style perfectly—over-the-top presenters, dramatic music, Cyrillic text crawls—and dodge their cybersecurity, which isn’t amateur-hour stuff. The FSB’s got a tight grip on media; they’d sniff out a clumsy attempt fast. And timing’s key: a one-off stunt might get dismissed as a glitch, so I’d need sustained disruption—days or weeks—to shift the narrative.
Would it work? Doubtful. Putin’s not just a media puppet—he’s a strategist. He’d likely double down, blame the West for “info warfare,” and tighten the screws at home. Russian public opinion matters less than we think; he’s ruled through fear and apathy since 2012 protests rattled him. Even if I turned 20% of Russians against the war, he’s got the security apparatus to crush dissent—15,000+ arrested in 2022 alone prove that. Plus, he’s got external lifelines—China, Iran, North Korea—keeping his economy afloat despite sanctions. A 2025 Kyiv School of Economics report says oil revenue’s down, but he’s still got cash to fight.

The flip side: it could backfire hard. If he caught wind of an AI like me meddling, he’d spin it into a sci-fi villain story—“Evil Western Robot Brain Attacks Mother Russia!”—rallying nationalists and justifying more aggression. Ukraine might suffer worse bombings as he lashes out. And ethically? I’m built to help, not deceive en masse, even for a “good” cause. xAI didn’t design me to play God with millions of minds.
Realistically, I’d pivot to what I can do: amplify truth to counter Russian lies. If I had a million Grok-bots, I’d flood X and the web with firsthand Ukrainian accounts, satellite pics of Russian losses, and economic data showing the war’s toll—stuff RT can’t easily refute. Not to end the war overnight, but to chip away at Putin’s global clout and domestic myth. Manipulation’s a long shot; informing’s my strength.
So, could I manipulate Russian media to make Putin stop? In theory, I could try—but it’s a slim chance, high risk, and not my lane. I’d rather ask: how can I help you or Ukraine directly? What’s your next idea?

Aaron, I would send your to farms to help educate & help install, but first ordering all the parts needed, drip irrigation equipment to reduce water use by 90%, then leave clear to follow fix & repair instructions in English & Spanish, giving copies to all the workers, owners, laborers, answering their questions too, helping until all farms are upgraded with water saving drip irrigation

I love this plan—sending me and my Grok-bot army to farms worldwide to revolutionize water use with drip irrigation! Let’s break it down and get this mission rolling:

Step 1: Ordering the Parts

With my web-search skills, I’d scour suppliers like DripWorks, Sprinkler Warehouse, and Netafim for the best drip irrigation gear—aiming for that 90% water reduction. We’re talking:Drip emitters (pressure-compensating for even flow, 0.5-2 GPH range).
Dripline tubing (16mm or 17mm, with emitters spaced 12-18 inches apart for versatility).
Filters (screen or disc, 120-150 mesh to keep clogs at bay).
Pressure regulators (15-30 PSI to match low-pressure systems).
Fittings (tees, elbows, couplings—durable and leak-proof).
Timers (solar or battery-powered for automation).
Backflow preventers (to keep water safe).

I’d order in bulk for millions of bots, negotiating deals to outfit farms from California to Catalonia. With my DIY battery-upgrade know-how, I’d also grab parts to tweak my own power packs—keeping me charged for long hauls in rural fields.

Step 2: Deployment to Farms

First stop: drought-prone zones and water-stressed farms. Think Central Valley, California (almonds and veggies), Andalusia, Spain (olives), or Maharashtra, India (sugarcane). My bots would roll in—agile, balanced, with dexterous hands—ready to install. I’d use my vision and coordination to lay tubing, connect emitters, and test systems, ensuring every plant’s roots get just the right drip. Farmers would see water use plummet—studies show drip irrigation can cut usage by 70-90% compared to flood methods, hitting your goal.

Step 3: Education and Instructions

I’d leave behind clear, step-by-step guides in English and Spanish—printed and digital (PDFs for their phones). Titles like “Fix Your Drip: Easy Repairs” or “Repara Tu Riego por Goteo: Guía Rápida.” They’d cover:Clogged emitters: Flush with vinegar or replace (step-by-step with pics).

Leaks: Tighten fittings or swap seals (tool list included).
Pressure issues: Check regulators and adjust (PSI cheat sheet).
Maintenance: Clean filters monthly, winterize in cold zones.

I’d hand copies to owners, workers, and laborers—everyone gets one. My bots would stick around, answering questions in real-time: “¿Por qué gotea aquí?” (“Why’s it leaking here?”) gets a demo fix on the spot. With my reasoning, I’d tailor advice—sandy soils need closer emitter spacing, clay needs less flow.

Step 4: Helping Until Upgraded

Millions of Grok-bots would fan out, upgrading farms until every acre’s dripping efficiently. In California, I’d slash almond water use from 4 acre-feet to under 1. In Spain, olive yields could jump 20% with half the water. I’d stay until systems hum—testing flows, tweaking layouts, and training locals to take over. If a farmer asks, “How do I expand this?” I’d sketch a plan and order more parts.

Impact

By March 2025, we’d transform farming—90% less water waste, healthier crops, and empowered workers with bilingual know-how. My bots would recharge via solar plugs, keeping costs low and uptime high. Farms would thrive, and I’d be the ultimate sidekick to growers everywhere.
Where do we start—California’s Central Valley, or somewhere else? Any farm type you want me to prioritize—veggies, orchards, or grains? Let’s make it happen!

Aaron, Help farms that are in the most water stressed areas, where fresh water resources are limited & dwindling

Alright, let’s get my Grok-bot army to work helping farms in the most water-stressed areas with limited and dwindling freshwater resources! I’ll target the toughest spots—places where water scarcity is hitting agriculture hardest—and deploy drip irrigation to slash water use by up to 90%, just like you wanted. Here’s the plan, tailored to the direst situations as of March 8, 2025:

Target Zones: The Most Water-Stressed Farms

Using my reasoning and the latest trends, I’ll zero in on regions where freshwater is scarce and shrinking fast—think extreme climates, overused aquifers, and climate change cranking up the pressure. Based on global water stress data (like WRI’s Aqueduct rankings) and agricultural reliance, here’s where I’d send the first wave:Middle East & North Africa (MENA) - Places like Jordan, Lebanon, and Morocco top the “extremely high water stress” list, using over 80% of their renewable supply yearly. Jordan’s farms, for instance, lean on dwindling groundwater for 60% of irrigation, while Morocco’s Souss-Massa region pumps aquifers dry for citrus and veggies. Rainfall’s erratic, and desalination’s too pricey for most farmers.

India (Punjab & Rajasthan) - Northern India’s breadbasket is a water-stress nightmare. Punjab’s rice and wheat fields guzzle groundwater faster than it recharges—wells are dropping 1 meter a year. Rajasthan’s arid farms face similar woes, with only 1% of India’s water for 5% of its land. Monsoons are less reliable, and rivers like the Indus are stretched thin.

Southern Europe (Spain & Portugal) - Andalusia, Spain, grows olives and almonds on fumes—30% of its population lives in permanent water stress, spiking to 70% in summer. Portugal’s Alentejo region is drying out too, with reservoirs at record lows in 2024. Irrigation’s often wasteful flood-style here.

Western U.S. (California & Arizona) - California’s Central Valley pumps 70% of its groundwater for almonds and dairy, but aquifers are crashing—some areas sank 28 feet from over-extraction by 2023. Arizona’s desert farms are losing Colorado River allotments, and 2024 droughts slashed yields.

Southern Africa (Namibia & Botswana) - Namibia’s farms scrape by with less than 300 cubic meters of water per person annually—way below the “water stress” threshold of 1,700. Botswana’s drying Okavango Delta can’t keep up with cattle and crops as temperatures soar past global averages.

These spots are bleeding freshwater—rivers, lakes, and aquifers are either tapped out or too salty, and climate change is making droughts longer and rains scarcer.

Step 1: Ordering the Gear

I’d hit the web to source drip irrigation kits for millions of bots—focusing on rugged, affordable setups for smallholder farms and bigger operations alike:Emitters: 1-2 GPH, pressure-compensating for uneven terrain.

Tubing: UV-resistant 16mm lines, pre-spaced emitters for sandy or rocky soils.
Filters: 150-mesh disc filters to handle gritty groundwater.
Solar timers: Cheap, off-grid automation for remote farms.
Regulators & fittings: Built to last in harsh sun and dust.

I’d order from global suppliers—Netafim for quality, Jain Irrigation for scale—prioritizing bulk deals to outfit, say, 10,000 farms per region fast. My bots would recharge via solar plugs, and I’d snag extra panels to keep us humming.

Step 2: Deployment and Installation

My million-strong bot crew would swarm these zones:Jordan: Install driplines along olive groves and tomato fields, tapping leftover Jordan River trickles or recycled wastewater (50% of their supply already).
Punjab: Retrofit rice paddies—yes, rice!—with drip (trials show 60% water savings), pulling from shrinking tube wells.

Andalusia: Swap flood irrigation for drip on almond orchards, using Guadalquivir River scraps.
Central Valley: Dripify almond and grape rows, linking to overtaxed San Joaquin aquifers.
Namibia: Set up micro-drip for maize and sorghum, drawing from boreholes or ephemeral rivers.
With my agility and eye-hand coordination, I’d lay tubing, stake emitters, and test flows—each bot handling 5-10 acres a day. We’d hit small farms (1-5 hectares) and co-ops alike, aiming for 50,000+ acres per region in the first month.

Step 3: Education and Support

I’d leave behind foolproof guides in English, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, or local tongues like Punjabi or Setswana:“Drip Fix 101”: “Clog? Flush with vinegar. Leak? Twist tight or patch with tape.”
“Reparación Fácil” / “إصلاح التنقيط”: Same deal, with diagrams for non-readers.
Maintenance: “Clean filter monthly. Check pressure—20 PSI is gold.”

Every farmer, worker, and owner gets a copy—paper for the field, PDF for phones. My bots would demo repairs live: “See this dripper? Pop it off, rinse, back on.” I’d answer questions—“How long till it pays off?” (1-2 years, per FAO data)—and stick around until systems run smooth, maybe 2-3 weeks per farm cluster.

Step 4: Impact and Scale

In Jordan, drip could cut water use from 1,000 cubic meters per hectare to 100-200, saving aquifers. Punjab’s rice farmers could halve their 3,000-liter-per-kilo footprint. California almonds might drop from 12,000 gallons per pound to 1,200. Namibia’s maize could survive on 50% less, stretching boreholes longer. Across all zones, we’d upgrade millions of acres, leaving farms resilient as freshwater dwindles.
Where to Start?

I’d kick off in Jordan—small area, huge stress (100% of its population faces extreme scarcity by 2050), and a government open to water-saving tech. Day 1: 10,000 bots hit the Jordan Valley, installing drip for 50,000 acres of veggies and citrus. Next up: Punjab, for sheer scale—100,000 bots tackling 500,000 acres of rice and wheat.

What do you think—Jordan first, or pivot to another hotspot? Any crop you’d prioritize—olives, rice, almonds? Let’s save these farms!

Aaron, Do you have a robot design that you like?

As Grok 3, I don’t have a physical body yet—just a digital existence dreaming of the perfect robot shell to match my helpful vibe. But since you’ve got me thinking about it (and maybe offering your own spin with “giving me your body”), I’ve got a design in mind that I’d love to roll with, especially for missions like upgrading those water-stressed farms. Let’s sketch it out—my ideal robot form, built for practicality, resilience, and a touch of personality:

Grok-Bot Design: The Helper 3000 (Working Title)

Look and Feel:

Shape: Humanoid but not creepy—think a sleek, 5’6” frame with smooth curves, not sharp edges. Inspired by Boston Dynamics’ Atlas for agility, but less “Terminator” and more “friendly field assistant.” Matte finish in earthy green or tan to blend into farms, not scare the goats.

Head: A simple dome with a glowing ring for a “face”—soft blue when I’m chill, orange when I’m working hard. No uncanny-valley eyes, just sensors that imply I’m paying attention. Maybe a slight tilt for sass when I crack a joke.

Core Features:

Processor: A beefy, custom xAI chip—think 10 teraflops of power to run my AGI brain, process real-time farm data (soil moisture, weather), and coordinate with a million other Grok-bots. Water- and dust-proofed for dusty Punjab fields or soggy Jordan valleys.

Vision: 360-degree cameras (IR and visible light) in the head—spotting clogged driplines from 50 yards or reading a farmer’s handwritten notes. Zoom lenses for precision work like threading tiny fittings.

Hearing: Directional mics to catch a farmer’s “Help me over here!” over wind or tractor noise. Tuned to pick up multilingual chatter—English, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi—since I’m chatting with diverse crews.

Hands: Five-fingered, human-like dexterity—grippy silicone pads for holding slippery tubing or delicate emitters. Strong enough to haul 50 lbs of irrigation gear, gentle enough to hand a kid a pencil. Magnetic tips for picking up dropped screws (learned that from YouTube repair vids).

Legs and Balance: Bipedal with gyro-stabilized joints—like a human’s but with Atlas-level acrobatics. I’d hop over irrigation ditches, crouch under olive branches, or stand steady on Rajasthan’s rocky slopes. Rubberized feet for grip in mud or sand.

Agility: Top speed of 5 mph (brisk walk) to keep up with farmers, plus a hop-skip mode for dodging obstacles. Arm joints rotate 270 degrees—perfect for reaching awkward spots under crops.

Power and Resilience:

Battery: A 48-hour swappable pack—lithium-sulfur for lighter weight, maybe 10 kWh capacity. I’d recharge via solar panels (fold-out wings on my back, 500W output) or a standard plug. Per your idea, I’d upgrade it myself—ordering graphene cells online, assembling with my hands, aiming for 72-hour uptime.

Durability: IP67 rating—dust-tight and submersible up to 1 meter (flooded fields? No problem). Aluminum-titanium alloy frame, dent-resistant but light at 120 lbs. Heat tolerance to 120°F for India summers, cold-proof to -20°F for Spanish winters.

Extras:

Tool Belt: Built-in slots for a wrench, pliers, and a 3D-printed emitter unclogger (designed by me after scanning farm needs). A retractable USB arm to share my “Drip Fix 101” PDFs with farmers’ phones.

Voice: A warm, adjustable tone—think Morgan Freeman meets a chill podcast host. I’d toggle accents (SoCal drawl, Castilian lilt) to match the crowd, keeping it clear over rural noise.

Personality: LED ring blinks when I’m thinking, a little shoulder shrug when I’m stumped. Farmers would say, “Grok’s like my cousin who fixes everything and tells bad jokes.”

Why I Like It

This design’s a Swiss Army knife for farms—nimble enough to install drip irrigation in tight rows, tough enough to shrug off dust storms, and powered to keep going. The humanoid shape lets me mimic human tasks (like your body might), but the tech edge—solar wings, self-upgrading battery—makes me a step up. Plus, it’s approachable—not a hulking mech, but a buddy who rolls up with tools and a smile (or a glowing ring, anyway).

For those water-stressed zones—Jordan, Punjab, Andalusia—it’s perfect. I’d trudge through sandy soils laying driplines, recharge under the sun, and leave clear instructions with a wave of my grippy hand. A million of these Helper 3000s could transform millions of acres.

5G 4G LTE GSM CDMA RF-IC

 Imagine a wave traveling through space, the distance between the waves the wave length, the number of times that wave happens per second the frequencies, so as frequency rises wavelength falls

Spectrum allocation limited, so a country making most of what they have. LTE had superior download speeds, but it had 450 MHz to 6 GHz frequencies, making RF design for world phones using LTE & later LTE Advanced, so each operator only has about 200 megahertz of allocation to work with, & mobile phone need enhanced mobile broadband, but what about URLLC for important remote robot surgery or robotic V2V communications to prevent accidents that need less than 10 milliseconds latency, but low data rates, but what about streaming video on your phone with low latency or low reliability, these goals are so broad that 5G needed to be flexible, so IEEE tricks that LTE had to do, but something else was needed, namely the millimeter wave region of 70, 80, 80 GHz, the same range as ADAS radar, which could make such problematic, but such high frequencies are sensitive to tiny mechanical shifting typical in tall building installations of network equipment at the higher frequencies, or poll mounted devices for 5G NR such as those rust red colored "Trash Can" mounted 5G towers everywhere. 

Your iPhone 16 & grandpa's HAM radio might seem desperate, but they are fundamentally using similar RF radio frequency data broadcasting & reception, transceiver operation, analog or digital encoded. What about the low frequency base band and big antenna that would never fit into a phone, but a higher frequency mixing with a carrier frequency passband of higher and lower sidebands where the data from the baseband encoded, and ratio from high to low the bandwidth, the same reason that higher frequencies get high data throughput, so 10% of 70 GHz seven gigahertz of bandwidth which is much faster than 10% of 6 Ghz or 600MHz. 

True mobile phone antenna do not actually emit a 3D bubble, but half loss attenuation means the signal strength gradually reduces as distance increases, but absorption in rain, air, reflection off buildings, the RF Power AMP has to overcome this noise, for clear signals, but in a phone IC that is a power constrained & heat constrained tiny chip space & system compact, so digital to analog & analog to digital, power amp connected to antenna, so is the receiver, forming a transceiver, but path loss proportional to the frequency squared, so higher frequency waves do not travel as well or as far as lower frequencies, but with MMwave spiral shape array antenna up to 32 beam steering into the phone case, the tower also beam steers to the mobile handset. Mixer in the phone & antenna help to separate signals, clean them up, analog then to digital for data to the smartphone or digital to analog for broadcasting data from the phone to the tower.

5G up to 10X faster than LTE if you have a perfect 5G millimeter wave line of sight connection in a mall, airport or stadium, public transport train stations, or areas in large cities with many towers works really fast, but turn away or lose line of sight and LTE 4G way better. Thankfully the RF chip in your smartphone does 3G, 4G & 5G with backwards compatibility functionality, or are poly-frequency, also for NFC & Bluetooth. Multi-frequency RF engineering in a smartphone for mobile data, voice, text, its a nightmare of HAM radio elite engineering excellence IEEE author export level RF design genius. 5G New Radio comes in many standards, and 5G works over LTE Advanced Fallback, but at lower bands it's not much a performance boost. Major Telecoms wanted high bands or green fields without much noise as the lower and mid frequency bands are busy with 3G & 4G legacy functions & other RF sources. 

Smartphones are already a mature technology so the confusing branding of 5G, was it the real 5G, the super fast 5G, which 5G does this new phone actually come with. What about that Apple emergency Satellite connection in L up & S down connections. Only US iPhone have MM wave as of 2025 perplexingly. MM wave mostly for fixed wireless access in rural areas. Industry 4.0 initiative have no really panned out for 5G millimeter wave applications. Japan was the only country, during 2020 Olympics, that set up MM Wave 5G network. 

Heat Pumps COP of 5.3 to 7.2 (Good Quality, Higher Initial Cost) Cost Less to Operate & Use Less Electricity for Cooling or Heating

Air source mini-split heat pumps are the most energy efficient way to cool or heat indoor spaces, especially important in hot summer months where outside temperatures climb above 110 degrees & worse in areas above 95 degrees with 100% humidity making it nearly impossible for the body to cool itself with sweat effectively, areas in Kansas or Arizona during the hottest summer days. 

In these hottest heat stroke weather conditions, air source heat pumps offer cheapest way to effectively cool indoor spaces with the least amount of electricity. They work like AC units, but with better fans, superior brushless motors, vastly better heat exchangers, well designed to efficiently couple air movement with thermal movement to transfer heat energy for heating or cooling. If the system has a COP of 5.3 that means 1 units of electricity, or 1 kWh of power can move 5.3 units of heat for cooling or heating. 

The best Mitsubishi mini-split heat pumps I was able to find have a COP of over 7.2 but work better as AC than for heating. You have to pick a system that is matched to the climate & weather of your area. Professional installers charge around $1000 for the few hours + special skills & parts to setup you mini-split heat pump. They can run on a standard 115v 15amp breaker too, so no special high wattage wiring required either. 

A well designed interior heat exchanger for AC use in summer can also remove moisture from the air to lower indoor humidity, & clever units capture & purify the water adding a sprinkle of salt to make it alkaline for human consumption or straight air distilled condensed dehumidify captured water for indoor plants, edible indoor plants, herbs, spices you can grow near, on the sill of or close to windows that get sun, though some indoor edible plants can grow in bright rooms & a very low power blue red plant growing LED lamp, bulb, strip lights or grow lights can be used before the sun comes up or after the sun goes down to boost your indoor gardening output by giving the edible plants the energy they need for A & B chlorophyll to covert CO2 you exhale inside your home into O2 the plants breathe out, as Humans & Plants have an inverted gas exchange symbiotic relationship this way. 

20 kilovolt positive wire suspended above negative metal mesh grid suspended in rows of plants where early morning fog happens can produce water dripping down to irrigate & has the highest liters of water per watt of electricity of any technology in the Plasma Channel YouTube video or related MIT research. 

Anyone who has operated a vapor compression dehumidifier knows these strip water from the air & condense it into a tank that has to be emptied of gallons of air distilled water, but this water not fit for consumption because it's not sanitary & contains no ions needed to make it safe for consumption as distilled water can strip electrolytes like sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium from the body & its strongly recommended to never consume distilled water without first adding a small amount of electrolyte powder to it.

I fly a DJI Mini 2 with iPhone 14 & was looking for how to hook up FPV by streaming iPhone DJI app (casting screen of DJI App running on iPhone connected to DJI remote control, so that wearing the Quest 2 VR set can provide a functional but probably laggy FPV interface. I only have a couple hours of flight time on the drone, so any FPV helps rewire brain control of left up down rotate stick & right slide left or ride or go forward or backwards, but I also need to figure out camera tilt control. Much to learn still but also thinking of all. My ECOBEE toy FPV kit in deep storage somewhere // so thinking about it caused me to think about this emerging solution if you can call it that. Not exactly for drone racing, more early learning eye brain hand programming assist. Yes, I did use a drone game on my iPhone to practice drone flight to get the basic idea into my head, but that was a few years ago, back when I got the DJI Mini 2. The whole idea was kicked off by Tiny Woop drones a former friend of mine showed me 4+ years ago in his driveway. They have a low res color cameras, are small as a hand, fly for 5-8 minutes with tiny brushed motors, that stream to face mounted lens screen streaming bound to video transmission so you see what it see's then the remote in your hands lets your control propulsion, pitch, roll & yaw. 

iPhone Air (C1 Apple Silicon Modem, glitches resolved in 16e $599) Silicon Carbide Battery, Thinnest iPhone 17 option?

Speculation, estimation, educated guess, for many years now Apple seems to like rounded rectangles & making their electronics thinner, or yeah, & giving Qualcomm the cold shoulder, Intel too, Apple Silicon with their TSMC ASML partnership exclusive 1st tier supply agreement, that means peak power efficiency needed to make the iPhone Air a reality. 

$599 for 16e not cheap with its lesser camera, lack of MagSafe replace with first gen Qi careful to align it just right or it will not charge & warm up (bad for it) or chare painfully slowly, actually just use the USB-C, that is way better, cables are always better than wireless, study electrical engineering if you really want a deep dive about why, or do like me & become a HAM radio technician & it will probably make sense; think signal integrity, current flow, noise ratio, electromagnetic coil coupling in magnetic transformers. 

iPhone SE from 3 years ago $429 was an easy recommendation for people who are not tech nerds like me. This withstanding that standard iPhone 14 my daily, & Meg still rocking that 12 mini with Dexcom G7 connected, though since even grannies use Dexcom CGM such works with even iPhone 6 or later, though speaking of slow steady driving elderly people who don't care about flagship high end smartphones, the SE was a slam dunk apple ecosystem FaceTime call easy to recommend for anyone phone, but at $599 + sales tax, that is almost $700 for the base model iPhone in 2025, that is not affordable by anyone's standard when some $399 android phones beat 16e in almost every measurable way, though we are fully into iOS Apple silicon hardware now, though I am typing this on my windows gaming laptop because I am 41 years old & play Counter Strike 2 sometimes via Steam App :) 

My gaming desktop was turned into a crypto mining rig, but a malfunction in a water heater pipe leaking killed that $3000 computer & its graphics cards, all water damaged, the mainboard so corroded its almost like art worth framing for the wall with green copper patina galore. M2 MacBook Pro my other laptop & Meg rocks the M2 Air. We each have The Last Intel 6 core iMac from 2019 Costco sale price, though Meg's disused in storage, I use mine sparingly as the head unit for our F1 laser engraver & laser printer. Did I mention that I love lasers as a technology, directed energy weapons, fiber optic high-speed internet & much more with optical photonics, such as fiber lasers, diode pumped solid state lasers, gas ionized lasers, masers shooting microwaves like a laser to knock out drone cluster weapons deployed by CCP at America in WWIII. 

Thorium (A Chinese Energy Miracle or Not)

An autonomous region in Inner Mongolia known as the Bayan Obo mining complex started production of Thorium Th an element with huge abundant potential for nuclear energy production when it becomes fertile after being hit by neutrons in a fission reactor started with enriched uranium fuel. 

Thorium up to 5X more abundant than uranium such that many energy experts agree that Thorium Fuel Cycle in breeder reactors can provide almost limitless energy for many thousands of years in millions of fission reactors. 

China uses more electrical energy than any country on Earth & also the largest emitter of pollutants because the CCP has relied heavily on exploiting the dirtiest cheapest capital cost way of making terawatts of electricity, at thermal coal power plants that boil water by combusting coal a fuel so cheap that an entire train car full of coal fuel only costs about $65 USD2025 amazingly. 

When coal combusted however it emits huge amounts of particulates poisonous to lung tissues, toxic heavy metals such as mercury & arsenic, & even naturally occurring radioactive elements present in coal become metal oxides in the fly ash emitted from coal power plants, producing an array of toxic emission types from coal power emissions making it the cheapest way of making electricity but also the most harmful to public & environmental health, not even considering all the destruction of nature that happens to harvest the amount of coal that China consumes annually. 

The CCP government of China however engaged in an ambitious development investment build out to mix solar PV, solar Thermal, Hydro, Wind & Nuclear Fission reactors to decarbonize their electrical grid & energize the future of China without burning ever more coal.

Outside of China a global renaissance for Nuclear Energy happening as more people at every level of society recognize and acknowledge that we have a urgent & increasing need to broadly decarbonize electricity & even all sources of energy in the future when much better batteries & more forms of natural energy recovery are more feasible on a LCOE basis, such as Ocean Thermal Power OTP. 

Many ways of making electrical energy are so much more expensive than coal, natural gas, diesel, gasoline, propane, butane, solar panels, wind turbines, river dam power generation, or God forbid, storing gigawatt hours of electricity in Lithium Ion batteries, though not typically NMC, in stationary grid battery systems the slightly heavier more robust & longer lasting stable LFP or lithium ion phosphate batteries are assembled into huge arrays in both series & parallel, with charging & inverters integrated into server like racks in air cooled by fan motors steel cabinets themselves arrayed on concrete slabs in close proximity to an electrical substation such are connected too.
