Engines matter because they convert otherwise useless forms of energy into useful work. And as the energy efficiency of engines increases, markets use more of them in more varied ways, which throughout history has resulted in increased overall energy use â a.k.a. the Jevons Paradox.”—

Collectively, all those transistors consume more electricity than the state of California.”— Mark P. Mills Longer Version —“The invention of the transistor-based logic engine, the integrated circuit, turned 60 this year. Today, humanity fabricates 1,000 times more transistors annually than the entire world grows grains of wheat and rice combined. Collectively, all those transistors consume more electricity than the state of California. The rise of transistors as âengines of innovationâ emerged from Mooreâs Law. And weâre still in its early days: paraphrasing Mark Twain, recent reports of the death of that Law are greatly exaggerated.”— Mark P. Mills

(b) White Sharia successfully conveys radical intolerance. (c) it also conveys the wrong basis for that intolerance. (d) it still floats around but mostly as ‘insider language’ or more properly ‘sh-t talking’. My answer: Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, Kin over Corporation, and Zero Tolerance is enough. Truth is enough.

(FB 1548880573 Timestamp) Only four reasons for Microsoft computers: (a) writing code on visual studio (I just puked a little in my mouth) (b) being the prisoner of an IT department that wrote code in visual studio. (gagging…. ) (c) extremely large complex spreadsheets on Excel. (Why apple doesn’t go after that market is beyond me.) (d) gaming (yes, ok, I”ll admit that you can’t really game on apple – but I wouldn’t use a laptop for gaming….) I don’t game. No time. I have you guys to play with instead. lol

(FB 1548901961 Timestamp) Remove power and data reduces a polity to cash economy, and a cash economy drains the cash reserves, causes bank runs and in the end reduction to a barter economy. This time of year, ninety days without continuous data, power, cash is unsurvivable for many tens of millions. The fourth meal is all it takes. Bring about demand for the fourth meal.

The only subsidy then available to r will be charity or trade (for example – in return for not reproducing)”—Luke Weinhagen (follow Luke)

(FB 1548888603 Timestamp) I love the elegant Apple GUI, combined with the case insensitive unix based os. But apple hasn’t done a single thing right since jobs died. (Just like I said they wouldn’t)
