Movement led by sheep

American Thinker, Robert Weissberg

today’s pusillanimity among conservatives occurs by omission – dogs that do not bark
Or just a bunch of limp dicks.


Cleaning up the joint

The place is a mess, so I've had to spend some time cleaning it up.  Like everything else, there's limited time, and that includes time for clean up.  It has been neglected, because other things seemed to be more important.  What changed that estimate so that I wanted to clean it up?

Well, I'd rather not say.

I've got one more thing to do, and then I will be through with this chore.

But there are other things.  So many things to do, so little time.


Energy from Thorium, was it a dream after all?

Just now, I pulled up all my posts on the subject of Thorium, and I noticed that a lot of the videos are now gone.  Why is that?  Why would such valuable information sent into the memory hole?

I suppose that they were replaced.  I should hope that they were replaced.

Frankly, I got away from the subject myself because there's little I can do about it.  Instead, I've focused on things that I think that I can do, like homesteading.

Here's an update from a few months ago.  I don't suppose things have gotten any better.  In fact, I'd say the news from the energy front have gotten worse.  Fracking won't make us energy independent.


Nuclear Power for Australia - Our Nuclear Responsibilities - Ben Heard

Comparing and contrasting one English speaking country with another with respect to carbon footprint.  One uses coal, the other uses nuclear power.  Nuclear power wins that comparison hands down.






It's All In The Game - Tommy Edwards

The following fact should be in Ripley's Believe it or Not.  The music for this song was written by Calvin Coolidge's Vice President, according to Dick Morris.  Charles G. Dawes also won a Nobel Peace Prize, but not for this song.






SpaceX will attempt a first stage landing tonight

Looks like the mission is a go as of this writing.  It will deploy a satellite that will go to the solar LaGrange point, and look out for solar storms.  Meanwhile, the first stage will make an attempted landing on the barge.

Should be interesting.  The launch is scheduled for sunset, according to the news source.

Update:

Launch has been scrubbed.  No definite word, but it may be a telemetry problem.


Cell phone boosters

Looking into this as a possibility to remain online with the same phone service.

There's a big risk that buying one of these things won't work.  What I've found is that signals are directional.  If the signal isn't pointing your way, then you are S.O.L.
