    Britain is Lost

    Is this another one of those warped stats where they're comparing averages? If they take total income divided by # of persons, people like Musk, Bezos, and all of the grossly overpaid corporate execs might make people with no actual income at all look like they're doing pretty well. Is this...

    Gasoline-- how much where YOU are??

    Which is why it makes sense to send as much as we can to other countries. Simple logic. :facepalm:

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    I don't like it that we have a big mouth loose canon president. Then I don't like it that there are multitudes of big mouth loose canons in the press and on social media that knee-jerk react to it.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    More nice-sounding social media crap comparing apples and oranges. Besides "literacy rate" having little to do with 6th grade reading level, which definition of literacy is used? The simplest definition of literacy in a nation is the percent of people age 15 or older who can read and write...

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    A lot of crap being slung around about the Strait of Hormuz blockade. The press and social media have invented their own definition of what it is, then attack that their false definition isn't being followed. It's not about the "US sanctioned" ships that they're crowing about. It's about...

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    Like this? It says in the story "The vessel did not enter the blockaded area – which only prevents travel to and from Iranian ports......", so they're admitting they know they're pushing a misleading bait-click headline. The same thing from an X post appeared earlier today in this thread...

    Funny / Satire

    Only if you had good skills telling the future. At this point there's nobody I'd want as president who is willing to do the job. And if such a candidate were to emerge, he/she would get buried by the corrupt government, media, corporations, lobbyists, etc. Stated differently, we're screwed no...

    Money & Economics

    A one-sentence disclosure of how easy it is to deceive with statistics. The 2nd half of the sentence shows that the 1st half, using average, is useless and misleading. MSN

    CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency)

    Agreed but it still pisses me off. The credit card transaction should be encrypted between you and the card issuer, without your identity being disclosed to the seller. Another thing that pisses me off, a while back I had an autopay something that renewed annually, and wanted to drop it The...

    Gasoline-- how much where YOU are??

    I'm skeptical that the hemp diesel "will run on every diesel engine ever manufactured". It might run the engine for a while, but I suspect that on current engines the injectors and all the pollution crap (DPF, EGR valve, etc) will get fouled or damaged without the exact fuel they were designed...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    A new headline tonight. I'm not linking to the article because I think it's self explanatory. We already know this, doh. What they talk about is distractions from what they're really doing, building power and wealth for themselves and the organizations that give them the money to bury...

    AI detection for thermal cams

    I haven't done a thorough test, but I've observed that BI turns on the motion detection when you do a Find/Inspect.

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    Here's a blatant example for not trusting the media. Is it out of ignorance, or using falsehood to promote fuel cells? Either way, without a fact check many will believe it. Same situation with what we read about the Iran war. "Fuel cell cars use hydrogen (the most abundant gas on the...

    CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency)

    I'm using cash more and more because of some companies tracking my in-store purchases when I pay with a card. The top of my offender list is Walmart and Home Depot.

    AI detection for thermal cams

    My thermal camera does have human and vehicle filters for both the standard and thermal cameras. I have the filters shut off because I want to detect animals, which it does very well. Maybe the difference is that with this camera it will actually shut off the object filters instead of lying...

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    I was responding to : Ok so you dont believe the MSM or the reporters by the Millions on Social media. (both quoted btw) I don't consider what Trump says to be reporting. Almost everything about the war on MSM and social media is slanted with an agenda.

    Same thing happened when unleaded gas was introduced. Not having lead raised the price.

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    Maybe there isn't any. Everybody that's reporting has their own agenda, and propaganda is a major component of fighting a war.

    Fly Me To The M00N

    Anybody know how long it took to tow the Orion to the ship? Or what the distance was? Unless the ship was really far away, I thought it was all for show to hoist the crew into helicopters instead of taking them away in a boat, or just leaving them inside the Orion until it was towed into the...

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    I have kind of overdone it and have 5 generators, and between them can use gasoline, diesel, or propane for fuel. Add to that 8 kW of solar panels and 25 kWh of battery capacity.
