  1. Sounds to me like Sweet Fish Sauce...
  2. Very true. Also, far less crime, one might imagine.
  3. Yes. Legalize it, if you must. However, who will pay for the workers' comprehensive healthcare and health screenings, etc.? I have a plan. We should tax liaisons between sex workers and their clients. All clients should pay a health surcharge, each visit. Long visit, higher surcharge. Short visit, lower surcharge. This money can be used to provide sex workers with high-class healthcare. Also, we should insist on excellent dental care, as well.
  4. Let's all keep in mind that when Elon invests in a business, then he almost ALWAYS makes money. X is no exception. The only question is when. And, this was my question. Free Speech is important, as my fellow-alum Chomsky always says. He says that the USA is probably the only country that guarantees Free Speech, and he is correct in his statement. If you really want to know what Noam says about Free Speech, and its importance, then you might be interested in these short VIDs: Free Speech is Free Speech. There is no compromise. This is obvious. Without free speech, there is no freedom. There can be no change for the better. Obviously.
  5. Glad to hear it. You've made my day. Go Leon! He IS my fellow alum, ... You know.... Right?
  6. You know the old saying: "Sh#! floats to the top". And, from your horizontal histogram... The saying is SURELY TRUE, in this case..... With FaceBook having Floated to the top..... How disgusting!
  7. No. We are a product of the Particle Model...maybe...
  8. I am OK with the Particle Model.
  9. I'm not of the Matrix gen, and this film has always been very distasteful to me. I have never agreed with the consumption of dolls in order to find happiness or enlightenment. Reeves is a terrible actor. I prefer someone like either.....Matt Damon or Patty Duke, and her pink pills....
  10. My only thought was that I hope he makes money from his purchase. And, I am just curious as to when this could happen..... Soon, or later?
  11. We are all inhabited by alien microbes. Some are friendly. Some wish to take over the body.
  12. My question is when will Elon be able to state that he has made money from his purchase....?
  13. The image on the bottom looks like the movie title: Children Of The Corn A true nightmare...
  14. In my view, just listening to Jimi speak, in various good interviews, Jimi had a somewhat higher IQ than Beck, although...maybe not....
  15. Big Boy Burger? That makes me think of the infamous Po' Boy Sandwich, from Down South....where.... JAZZ was born.... There are many great things, including Jazz, which have originated in America....out of the black experience, slavery, etc.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po'_boy# I could go for a Po' Boy for Christmas.... Sitting somewhere DOWN SOUTH..... In Louisiana.
  16. Not dead. Although, Hendrix is clearly dead, and died too young.
  17. Thanks again. However, I am not so sure that this will interface with my Linux computer so that I can do graceful power shutdown. More importantly, I need to connect to the computer so that I can do power quality analysis using a UPS...which is what I really need for best monitoring....SUCH as with the APC POWERCHUTE Software, which has now been replaced with a different software from APC..... CRUCIALLY.....During poweroutage, I need to be to TURN OFF the alarm...which drives me NUTZO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. I am planning a white Christmas this year. Unfortunately, my Christmas this year will probably be ALL WHITE.
  19. Thanks for your feedback. The most important factor for me is to be able to arrive at a very accurate solution which will be credible enough to convince the "powers that be", yes, another pun, that the data I collect is VALID. Only through providing credible supporting evidence can I make a case that my power supply from the grid needs to be checked and improved. As to a solution: Step One: I must find a way to keep my desktops operating through a two-hour power outage. Just how many batteries I will need to connect to a UPS is still unknown. I think my computer draw about 900 watts of power. Step Two: Find some way to keep lights from flickering during low power periods. AND, find some way to solve these micro-cuts which happen up to 6 times per day, and last for less than a second. ========= So, to begin with, I must first provide the proper documentation to the local power company. This is the worst situation, at my locale, that I have yet experienced....to date.
  20. I no longer listen to Hendrix, if that's what you mean. Jeff Beck is just so much better. I am mostly a JS Bach listener. If JS Bach is wrong.... I don't wanna be right. Hendix was great. But now, I prefer to listen to Jeff Beck, and JS Bach.... THE TWO J's
  21. Yes, and the campaign has been going on, now, for just over a decade. I was there when they began cracking down on expensive banquets for CCP members, and gov officials. The restaurants were having a real hard time.
  22. One other point that I had considered when posting this topic is the possibility that some of these very-short power interruptions might be cause by ACR. For example: And my next question was WHY these are happening so frequently. If these are, mostly, attributable to ACR, then perhaps this suggests equipment failure, or degrading equipment in the electrical power line. Whatever it is, these micro-power-outages, or micro-cuts, lasting a fraction of a second, are causing many problems such as flickering CFL bulbs, even though the bulbs are of high quality. Also, problems with UPS alarms. In addition, just turning on an 8000 Watt water heater will cause some of the CFL bulbs to flicker, even though these are not on the same circuit breaker, even though they are connected to the same rail of the circuit breaker box. It seems to me that the FIRST STEP must be to reliably document both these micro-cuts, as well as any more sustained periods of low voltage, lasting minutes, up to about an hour in duration. Without documentation of the problem, then it can be expected that the power supplier's first inclination may be to just deny that these problems are occurring. Or, to contend that the fault lies with the house wiring, which seems to not be the case. Therefore, some cheap way to reliably document the problem is required.
