I'm gone. Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track, I'm gone, gone, and nothing's going to bring me back. I'm gone. 06/29/2023

That's a damned shame. It was a good article and the author (Woodward) and newspaper (Washington Post) were included. Anyone with a keyboard could have found the article in 2 minutes.
That was a ham-handed deletion, IMO.
Correction: It took me 15 seconds to find the article.

OK. Then fµ¢k the Union.
I see your allegiances are quite fluid.
Hope they all lose their retirement benefits.
When Raegan (sic) did it to the air traffic controllers republican's didn't care, They hate unions.
His last post on iHub was August 26. Beyond that, I don't know.
The white paper was product marketing for Intel. There is nothing proprietary involved. I'm sure Field Application Engineers were involved to teach Enzolytics how to use the tool. That's about it.
ENZC is using AI from INTC. Check and see if it`s (sic) free for anyone to use.
Affordable rental property?
Great Zeus, it will be the fortunate who find rental property of any kind soon.
Landlords are selling their properties at an unprecedented rate. They cannot make any money at all when Uncle Sugar forgives everyone's rental payment.
And thanks for not giving "a shit" about my healthcare. I do not need it.
Ciao!
I'm doing fine with healthcare.
But I also know our epistemologies are diametrically opposed.
And you will never amend yours nor I mine.
So let's not waste a lot of time in trying to do so.
I agree on the critical need to upgrade the power grid. My first job out of the Air Force was at an electric utility as a distribution engineer. This was in the '70's but the need was high even then.
On my grid-tied system, it works like this. About 10 years ago my rural electric co-op made an offer I couldn't refuse (it probably was because they discontinued it a year or two later). They would reimburse 1/2 the costs of materials and labor for installation of any solar or wind generation of any capacity. I sized my turbine and solar generation close to my actual historic usage. When I'm not generating, I buy the power from the co-op at the retail kWh price. When I generate surplus, I sell it to the co-op at the wholesale kWh price. The co-op "evens up" the ledger once a year on a specified month. Like I said, I am using the utility as an inefficient and expensive battery bank.
I could have gone off grid but I didn't want the maintenance time and headache and the price of the required battery capacity. Plus, I HATE fµ¢king around with a lot of acid.
In terms of energy, I am in favor of using EVERYTHING. Oil, gas, coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind turbines, photovoltaic, even hydrogen power cells if they ever get it figured out. For now. We need them all.
In the future, the market will allocate capital to the most efficient and effective.
As to who manages energy production, the market will do the same for the same reasons.
Capitalism.
Not socialism.
The politicians are trying to brute-force renewable energy before technology exists that can efficiently support it.
Wind turbines don't generate when the wind doesn't blow. Photovoltaic doesn't generate when the sun doesn't shine.
Electric vehicles aren't efficient until charge rates and storage increases. Charging them today simply shifts carbon-based generation to electric generation plants from gasoline/diesel. Not very green.
What is missing? Efficient and effective battery technology. Until batteries can charge quickly to hold large amounts of power in a usable form factor, the politicians are spending tons of money on a dream that isn't here yet. Enough money that it could cripple our economy. It is akin to Henry Ford building a production line for the Model T before the internal combustion engine exists.
I use wind turbines and photovoltaic panels at my place yet I am still tied to the grid. Why? Batteries. Essentially I am using my electric utility as an inefficient and expensive battery bank.
Sell no dream before it's time.
PlusOneCoin inflation.
Too many PlusOneCoin chasing too few admirable posts.
I'm giving PlusOneCoins for Christmas.
I suddenly seem to have more than I can use!
Creating Christ
Dollars can be used to pay taxes, which is real value.
I should add that, like crypto currency, the Dollar has no intrinsic value either beyond the "promise" of "the full faith and credit of the United States".
Dollars are created out of thin air as well. What backs up the dollar is the public's faith that the government will not print too many and the confidence that the dollars will be accepted everywhere. The government seems to no longer be concerned about printing too many.
The Dollar can collapse as well.
Crypto currency has no intrinsic value.
Absolutely none. It is created out of thin air.
It is as bad as a stinky pinky stock, only more heavily propped up.
The day will come when the entire house of cards collapses.
This is not and has never been a scam.
Never is indeed a long, long time.
The Baier documentary on US Grant is on "Fox Nation", Foxes online streaming presence.
I don't subscribe to it but found it on a search. I may buy the book, though.

Is it trading on OTC?
If so, it is CRAP.
I fear we are experiencing PlusOneCoin inflation.
Too many PlusOneCoins chasing too few goods.
And now for something completely different.
Bruce Springsteen performing "Erie Canal".
So, how long before someone digs up this rotten SLJB corpse yet again and tries to run it?
You could evade the draft like I did by simply enlisting.
Oh, Squirrel, I didn't know your cancer had spread.
You gotta do what you gotta do. It is a road no one else can travel.
My Dad had the dreaded small cell carcinoma in really strange places. Turns out he got the radiation when he was in Japan after the bombs dropped.
I can't help much but will always be here if you need to talk. I understand in my own way.
Hey, here's a great topic. I mentioned my parents reaching advanced age and suffering. I would be interested in folk's opinions on an individual's right to end their own life. Should there be constraints? What should they be? Or should it continue to be verboten?
Because you're an atheist you SHOULD be more in touch with that theocratic bent within the GOP.
nor a bent toward theocracy .....
Republicans are as toxic as Democrats. Two sides of the same coin.
With all due respect.
If one supports the right to choose abortion, one must also support the right to choose to vaccinate or not. You know, control over our own bodies.
There can be no contradictions.
The founders believed that leaders should be virtuous.
The draft is unconstitutional. It is forcible servitude against my wishes.
And inactive right now, thank Zeus.
I either choose to work for any particular employer or I choose not to. That is my choice.
I accept the rights I am granted under our Constitution and Bill of Rights, which detail those rights specifically granted to the governments and leave all the rest to me. If I didn't, I would live elsewhere. That is my choice.
The discussion was not about masks. It was about injecting vaccines.
Control over our own bodies is the most sacred individual right.
For kids in schools and vaccines, there is a choice. The choice is for the parents. They can choose to vaccinate junior and send him to public school or can choose private education or homeschooling where it isn't required.
For members of the military, one can choose to join or not (thank Zeus the draft is inactive).
It is you who is contorting our founding laws, not me.
Ya know, blackhawks, you seem unable to make a point without being vulgar. That really reduces the effectiveness of your argument.
You also seem to have mistaken me for someone who cares what you think.
It wasn't like you had to go to a war with guns bullets etc (lots of etc's).
It's good to know that YOU have been appointed curator of my individual rights.
Because you have no control over me or my rights whatsoever.
As it damned well should be.
In other words, I do not care what you think about my rights. You have no role to play in that matter.
But for someone who can "forget a phone number in three feet", you do an amazing job of dredging up a post from 2 weeks ago on a different board.
