Comment Re:When important people believe Trump MUST be wro (Score 1) 140

Don't say there is no evidence when there is evicence. Then when the evidence is presented don't dismiss it as all lies.

For credibility you bring up all the evidence you can find, and explicitly say what you thinkg is wrong with it.

Science, as oppose to "Science! Orange man bad!"

Oh, high doses of HCQ are known to be effective but cause heart problems?

Where are these *well known* studies of dose vs. effectiveness? Citation please, many physicians would find them useful.

Personally I have stocked up on flavenoids like quercetin and rutin, over-the-counter zinc ionophores. They will also no doubt be found extremely dangerous if ever recommended by Trump.

If you have money, someone *may* accept it in exchange for a surplus of something they have. But they don't *owe* you anything and in particular aren't required to deprive themselves to satisfy any debt to your hoard of cash.

Money is a surrogate for excess energy, it acts as a store of value only as long as excess goods and services are available. If we used joules for currency (as was proposed by the technocrats in the 1930s) there would be no inflation since they directly embody the excess energy.

And that's what's wrong with AI, robots, bitcoin...they all require an external energy input to keep them going. Pull the plug and they are nothing.

Grid kWh costs are on a sliding scale since there is a base cost for the grid connection. If you use just a few kWh a month they will cost hundreds of cents each, easily more than locally generated power plus storage. And if you can't live without those kWh add in the cost for the backup generator.

Bill the grid infrastructure separately, then generation costs can compete on a fair basis at each particular time of the day. Local storage or backup generation is an unrelated issue.

That would be one way, although false coloring through a full spectrum shift seems not to work as well as limited black body color temperature scales. But the potential at every voxel can be derived from the electron scattering, and the gradient of that potential could give a true color image without any shifting. Don't know if any of the colors would be visible to humans, though.
