You know what? I keep saying again and again. The corporations are not our friends. Us, meaning conservatives, that is. Oh, wait a minute. Maybe there's no such thing as conservative. But I digress.
But you all think a big tax cut for the corporations was peachy keen. Guess what? They still don't like you. They will never like you.
Conservatives get all the blame for being "for the rich" and so forth, but the liberals gain all the prizes from being the rich. Meanwhile, they blame the conservatives while they laugh all the way to the bank. Hey, if it works. The thing is, if you are conservative, why the hell do you keep supporting people who stick a dagger in your backs? It makes no sense to me.
But that is me. Maybe I live in a different universe and don't know it.

Anyway, not everything is black and white. That means, there is something to like here. But there may also be something to be wary of.
People like absolutes, though. People seem to be drawn to strength. Doubt is a sign of weakness, and is abhorred. People want answers, and are ready to follow somebody who has them, or seems to have them. Just my opinion.

The Constitution is sovereign...
Meaning it is like a king. George Washington was offered a monarchy, but presided over a constitutional convention instead. This gave the nation a constitution that has endured for over two centuries.
Constitutions can endure, flesh gets old and dies.
Long live the Constitution..
Here's why:
If we change our form of government, like this guy says, it could mean that 57 counties, which include the nation's largest cities, would dominate our politics.
The electoral college gave this country a chance to make a new start. The problem is that this country has been running downhill for decades. A change needs to be made. Trump is that change.
These people do not like change. The opponents of Trump want to keep the nation going downhill until it is no longer a special place that people wish to come to live.

Interesting observation. Judges could be removed en masse like this, and it could make a real difference.
However, if put in the hands of the wrong type of people, it could be a weapon.
In any event, my understanding is that it would take 2/3 rds of the Senate to convict and remove an offending office holder.
I think it is a mark of shame on the US Congress that it doesn’t use impeachment more often. Too often the talk gets bogged down on what exactly are “high crimes and misdemeanors.” .....In the case of federal judges, we lose sight of the fact that they only “shall hold their offices during good behaviour.”

Next experiment
Just moved the dehumidifier so that it will drain into the evaporative cooler.
This probably sounds crazy. Why would you take out humidity and put it back in? Good question.
It is all a matter of when and why. The when part has to do when it is cool in the morning. It is also humid in the morning. This is a good time to turn on the dehumidifier, and use it to fill the tank of the evaporative cooler.
During the hot afternoons, the humidity is low. It makes sense to add humidity in order to cool down the hot air.
The idea here is to stretch out the number of hours I can run the evaporative cooler. This will come at a cost of using more electricity, since the dehumidifier uses about 800 watts, if memory serves.
But, but, but!
I am making the living room livable. This is not costing anything, because I use the a/c much less in the hot afternoons. I don't get stuck back there trying to stay cool. This is quite comfortable during most of the day. Lately, about two or three hour stretch is mildly uncomfortable. I am trying to improve upon that a bit, while staying within constraints.

Rush: "The President Is Right About the California Fires"
Environmentalists won't let them use the water from upstate. Besides that, they won't clear cut the forest. So, the fires burn out of control.
Jerry Brown has a history of doing stupid stuff that makes a problem worse. Do you remember the medfly infestations of years ago? That was when Brown still had his hair.
Anyway, Jerry Brown is a prime example of what's wrong with these people. They always do the wrong thing.

Need shade from the sun to cut down on a/c use
Prev Next
originally posted, 6.23.17, updated
8.6.18:
Why return to this post? It seems that I may have found a solution to the puzzle of how to climate control a space with the least energy input.
Reading over this post reminds me that I could use the freezer to make ice that just about eliminates the need for an a/c. The system that I have now allows me to reduce a/c use to a few minutes a day.
In order to get more margin for error, an a/c may still be desirable. But for everyday use, an a/c can be eliminated.
One more thing I'd like to try is to make a roof that combines water distillation with cooling the roof. There is no cover on the roof of the trailer now. I am thinking a cover that also distills water would dissipate heat, and make it very comfortable in here even without an a/c.
I won't build a roof for the trailer, though. I will consider one for out west, though.
6.30.17 , 7:30 :
This will be the final update to this post. I have refined the system as well as I can. Maybe it could be tweaked here and there for slight improvements. But I have to think about expenses and such. I spent about 400 bucks on these projects since I got back. Well, I don't have that kind of money to spend on anything anymore. It is mostly make-work-keep-busy type of stuff.
I did accomplish two straight days without using the a/c. Do I really want to live this way, though? Not unless I can increase the comfort level. The a/c is awful tempting. In fact, after two days without it, I turned it on this morning.
This morning? Yeah. For some reason, it doesn't cool all the way down to outside temperature in here. It stays noticeably warmer, about five degrees. I cannot explain it. It is something like you might want to tweak for better performance, but how? By spending more money?
I need to move on, and so I will.
6.28.17, 23:00 :
Another experiment today. This one started at about 5 pm, and is continuing as of this writing. The melting ice did not really help much with the heat, as far as I can tell. It is still too hot in here. There needs to be shade.
The sun is too much, in other words.
The ice is nearly all melted, and it is feeling more comfortable now. But it is only 80 degrees outside, so it should feel more comfortable.
6.27.17,
20:30 :
I correct the previous statement that the ice lasted nine hours, it lasted seven hours. The new ice has frozen in the freezer. This means that it took about twelve hours for it to freeze: since I replaced the ice taken out this morning with some water that will replace the melted ice in the Coleman on the next experiment.
The bottom line is that a daily swap out is feasible. It will take less than a day to freeze each batch of water that has to be replaced.
14:30 :
The ice has melted. It lasted about nine hours in mild conditions. The real test comes when it gets really hot again.
10:15 :
After three hours, about half the ice is melted. Very nice in here.
7:00 :
A test of the "coffin concept" is underway. It is utilizing about 50 lbs of ice obtained from the freezer, and the passive solar setup from last winter.
The results so far are interesting, to say the least. It is noticeably cooler in here than in the rest of the trailer, but outside is supposedly cooler outdoors than in here. For this to be so, an uncomfortable thought just occurred to me. That is to say, I am heating the trailer with the freezer, and cooling it in here. Just moving heat around, not out.
The freezer would have to be outside in any serious arrangement.
But it does feel really nice inside here. I'd say about six degrees cooler than in the rest of the trailer.
A better time to test would be in the late afternoon. Of course, I had to do it this way. /sarc
6.24.17 :
Boy, was the need for shade confirmed yesterday. It was supposed to have reached 105 degrees Farenheit. I fought a losing battle against it. Finally had to give up and turn on the a/c when it was 102 inside. Nothing seemed to help until I called for the cavalry. Lesson learned.
This post will go into the Construction sub-series of the off-the-grid main series of posts. These posts can be accessed from a table of contents and watched individually or in series from beginning to end.
The last time, I was working on the "coffin concept", which is to save on power and electricity through the use of only small areas to climate control. Now that I have one, I have managed to do a few things that will give me an idea of what I need to do on this to make it work better.
At present, it is not working well. The swamp cooler is not cooling that well. The misting system is not helping either. Even watering down the trailer doesn't help that much. With everything I could think of being done, I still have to use the a/c for several hours a day.
The next idea is to freeze water with that big freezer I bought a couple years ago. It will go into the passive heater system. It will work the same way as the passive solar, because the water is in a closed system. This system will not divert the water into an outside system, but will keep the water circulating through the heater core and back to the Coleman cooler. The freezer will keep the water near freezing, and a box fan will circulate the air through the heater core.
My thinking is that to freeze 40 lbs of water won't use that much electricity. It won't supply as much cooling power either, but it is only 64 square feet. This matches well with my freezer experiment in 2014. Only 290 watts per hour for that much area, if everything works out. That would give about three or four hours of cooling. Forty pounds would figure about at less than two hours actually. I don't know how realistic this is yet. Still experimenting.
Keeping in mind that the whole room doesn't need to be cooled down, just me in my little area. If it starts at eight pm, by ten pm, it should be cooling down anyway.
Another thing to remember is that there is no shade in this location. I can make more shade, so I have got that going for me.

AGW discussion 110
One thing that I noticed during my off-grid experiments is that hot air does not heat up water very well.
The experiment was to put a jug of water inside a car. The car gets hot, but the water does not.
Is there a principle lurking there to be discovered?
Well, I decided to look up how long it takes to deep fry a turkey. I know it takes a long time to cook one in the oven. Here is the comparison after a search on the web.
It takes up to three times as long to cook a turkey in the oven as it does to deep fry it. Now, why do you suppose that is? One thing that the warmists always like to say is that carbon dioxide traps heat. But I say that all gases release heat. In other words, as a heat transfer mechanism, air does not do as well as a liquid. Hence, no gas can warm the planet. The only way you get a Venus effect is with an atmosphere as thick as Venus'. This can never happen on Earth. Or, if you don't like the word never, then it can't happen if you burn fossil fuels. You run out of oxygen and die long before you can make a noticeable difference.
AGW is bunk.

Interest rates going up
No question about it, the interest rates are going up. Not only the Fed Funds rate, but also along the entire yield curve.
What explains this?
Has to be the policies of the current president as opposed to the previous president. The interest rates began going up as soon as Trump was sworn in.
The idea that Obama gets any credit for this is absurd. The low interest rates were a feature of the prior administration.
Why are high interest rates good? Well, as long as they aren't too high, it is an indication of economic activity. Low interest rates are an indication of non activity. The economy was not reaching its full potential under the prior administration. The proof is in the interest rates.

Economic Reality and Freedom - by Robert Ringer
Ringer expounds upon his ideas, which conflict with a Seattle tycoon.
comment:
I don't agree with the tycoon or Ringer.
Corporations are creations of the state. Therefore, corporations are not really capitalists. They are state capitalists.
Some folks, like Ringer, seem to believe that we should leave the corporations alone. But they get special considerations that individuals do not get. For this consideration, they should be required to give something back.
I know that goes against the grain of modern "conservative" thought. But the Founders wrote in our Constitution their view that governments should act upon collective bodies, such as corporations, and leave individuals alone. We have that bass ackwards today. The government wants to act upon the people, and we should let the corporations alone?

AGW discussion 109
It has been awhile since the last one.
The latest idea for a post on this subject is the gas laws. It has been discussed before, but perhaps not at this angle, so here goes.
The temperature of a gas can be manipulated by manipulating its volume. This is the principle of the fire piston. Compressing a gas will heat it. The explanation for this comes from the gas law, to wit:
Temperature of a gas is proportional to its volume times its pressure.
That can be expressed as T = PV, ( note should use proportional sign, but all intents and purposes, an equal sign works just as well. )
Using a bit of algebra obtains the following: holding V contant--- V= T/P
P constant---- P= T/V
What does this tell us? Well, if you heat a gas in an enclosed container, Pressure must go up proportionally. Likewise, if you hold pressure constant, volume goes up proportionally. If one side of the equation outpaces the other, the ratio will affected. For example, if volume outpaces temperature, pressure must go down. If volume outpaces pressure, then temperature goes down, and vice versa.
In a practical example, take your internal combustion engine. An explosion in a relatively constant sized combustion chamber causes the superheated air to expand. This pushes the piston down, which does work. The air continues to expand as the valves open, and the heated air goes out the tailpipe. Incidentally, while it is doing so, it is cooling down rapidly. Volume is outpacing pressure.
This allows me to segue into why there can be no AGW. No matter how much you may trap the heat, you either get an expansion of the atmosphere, which cools it right back down, or you get higher pressure. Since nothing can hold down the gas permanently except gravity, then eventually, the heated air will be conducted upward and outward to space.
Gas will expand infinitely until it becomes like outer space itself. Without anything holding it down, the gas molecules will go in all directions forever. The thing keeping the volume of gas constant on this planet is its gravity. Add a little heat energy, and the force of that energy will cause the atmosphere to expand. While it does so, it cools down.
Consequently, whatever effect anything like a so-called greenhouse gas may have, it can only be temporary.
AGW is bunk.
The latest idea for a post on this subject is the gas laws. It has been discussed before, but perhaps not at this angle, so here goes.
The temperature of a gas can be manipulated by manipulating its volume. This is the principle of the fire piston. Compressing a gas will heat it. The explanation for this comes from the gas law, to wit:
Temperature of a gas is proportional to its volume times its pressure.
That can be expressed as T = PV, ( note should use proportional sign, but all intents and purposes, an equal sign works just as well. )
Using a bit of algebra obtains the following: holding V contant--- V= T/P
P constant---- P= T/V
What does this tell us? Well, if you heat a gas in an enclosed container, Pressure must go up proportionally. Likewise, if you hold pressure constant, volume goes up proportionally. If one side of the equation outpaces the other, the ratio will affected. For example, if volume outpaces temperature, pressure must go down. If volume outpaces pressure, then temperature goes down, and vice versa.
In a practical example, take your internal combustion engine. An explosion in a relatively constant sized combustion chamber causes the superheated air to expand. This pushes the piston down, which does work. The air continues to expand as the valves open, and the heated air goes out the tailpipe. Incidentally, while it is doing so, it is cooling down rapidly. Volume is outpacing pressure.
