Thank Trump for exposing the majority of Republicans for what they really are.

<< And then, finally, let us look at the events of the last week, where the president pushed an insane lawsuit- ‘The Big One’ he called it, from the Attorney General of Texas. It was a clownish legal brief, based on conspiracy theories and outright lies. And eighteen — eighteen! — state attornies general, some U.S. senators, and a majority of the House Republican Caucus, 126 members, supported it.

President Trump did us a favor by exposing these elected officials. They are, definitionally, people who signed on to a desperate desire to subvert the will of the American people, to disenfranchise voters in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan based on lies and conspiracy theories, putting an immoral and corrupt power grab above democracy. President Trump did us a favor by revealing to us that those individuals are who they are; and that’s important as we go forward because the business of this nation continues. The pandemic, the economy, foreign policy, immigration. And now we know, clearly, how much these individuals care about facts or the truth; how much they care about democracy or the principles that make this country great. Which is to say, NOT AT ALL. >>

“Several false statements”? Well if that isn’t the understatement of the decade!

trump lied and people died. it is the primary reason he lost his re election bid

This Battery University website gives numerous tutorials for batteries and EVs. The following one is about grace capacity and how a lithium ion rechargeable battery gets ‘used up’.

I started thinking about how a regular car engine gets used up in a similar way. The engine slowly wears out and as it does you change the oil and some of the worn metal comes out with the ‘sludge’ that’s in the used oil. No wonder we’re polluting the environment — used oil is partly tiny, little particles of an engine.

Using antennas that rectify the very short wavelengths to DC power.

The following article is about using carbon nanotubes to capture and rectify the longer wavelengths of sunlight to make DC electricity.

From my comment to al-Ghaili post

The flaw is that the UV must be UV-C light about 265 to 285 nm wavelength. This wavelength is not emitted by almost all UV LEDs. The plastic lenses in cheap LEDs do not allow UV-C to pass through. The LED window must be glass that passes UV-C. Did you notice that they showed the disinfecting lights and they were all glass tubes?? If you want to find out if your UV LED puts out UV-C, do the green banana test. Search for green banana uv test on YouTube. Big Clive has a video on how it’s done. If your UV light uses LEDs it is very doubtful that it will put out UV-C. Don’t be fooled by false advertising for LED lights that will sterilize! They don’t!

The fools who have been “intimidated” for getting vaccinated or have been given FUD from other antivaxxers are the problem. They’re “on the fence”, undecided and will stay that way until they either survive infection or die. The situation they are trying to prevent is achieving herd immunity by having everyone get CoVID19 and “That which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” This is WRONG. The governments have to use a stronger method. If you want to have the kids in school they will have to be vaccinated. If you want to renew your passport or other official document you will have to be vaccinated. If you want to enter a federal or state property you have to be vaccinated. That’s what is going to incentivize vaccinations.

You want to volunteer for getting CoVID19 “with a 1% death rate”? Or would you rather volunteer for taking a vaccination which has a 0.000001% death rate? It takes only a half a brain to make the obviously right choice.

Also comment on long video of Dave Lee interview with Rob Maurer.

I’ve been sitting on my front porch and I see *so much* wasted delivery vehicles right now before xmas. Like I saw the Amazon sprinter van, the UPS brown truck and the USPS package delivery all at the same time on a Sunday! And I live on a small residential street. So there needs to be a drastic reduction in duplication of delivery miles by simply doing what Uber, Instacart and other deliveries are doing: coordinate deliveries by using real time software. The infrastructure brick & mortar warehouses are already in place. What we need is to give territories to various companies and make coordination schedules for inter-company transport. UPS, FedEx and the USPS could stop the senseless overlapping of delivery territories and have dedicated territories.

The changes coming in the near future with robo-taxis, autonomous driving vehicles and electric vehicles with an artificial intelligence will mean major changes. The software I’m talking about needs to be included in this, too.
