I was shopping for an EV when I ran across a Mirai with low mileage, and it was like $15K. I thought, hmmm, rip out the fool cell and put in more batteries, I'd have a nice EV. Then again, getting it to my house across 1500 miles of road with no hydrogen fuel could be a problem.

5 cents for me to pick up the receiver, credited to my phone bill. Normal people will be OK with it. I'd make a fortune until It drove spammers and scammers out of business.

I'm retired, so if I'm in a mood to screw with them, they will waste a lot of time which prevents them from talking to other folks. Usually I go to the bathroom and treat them to some sound effects, or put down the phone to "get my Medicare card/credit card/whatever" then take a nap, or fiddle with "windows" until I admit to running Linux. I've learned some good Hindi swear words that way.

They don't have Jews in Nicaragua, so they're going for the Catholics instead.

The railroads cry that they have too much rail to ever electrify. Probably meaning they are too cheap to do it.

I find it odd that anybody would use 16 Hz for a power line. Maybe the generators are a little cheaper, but transformers must be humungous.

"The love of money is the root of all evils, and in their desire for it some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many serious wounds."

"False Teachers Will Arise. Just as there were false prophets who arose among the people, so there will be false teachers among you. They will introduce their disruptive views and even deny the very Master who redeemed them, thus bringing swift destruction on themselves."

Some of the difference is in permitting and other red tape, that Germany has simplified.

Turn off your EV, so it doesn't interfere with the radio. No inverter EMI filtering needed.

AM radio, smoking, and sunshine together cause cancer.

Well, my old Laser Jet isn't. And it will probably outlast me.

Burma-Shave

I think I saw my last Burma Shave sign around 1961, on a back road in the Thumb of Michigan.

We could pyrolyze it, and fill old coal mines with it. The cycle could be complete.

Better to put biochar into agricultural fields, where it will soak up water and fertilizer and sequester carbon for 1000 years. Get rid of waste, improve soil and reduce runoff.

Jack Wallen falls in love with a new distro every week. Stay tuned, he's due to try Hanna Montana again ....

Cylindrical phones with roll-out screens! Or maybe 3D! Anything that makes you upgrade.

Me, I buy $200 phones and keep them 5 years. You don't wanna know how old my laptop is.

We who live in flyover states full of cornfields respectfully say: fuck you.
