Exactly; I was on that list and looked at the db during the intial controversy. I looked up some of my neighbours, and it was clear to me they had no obvious connection to the issue, and had in fact very similar or exact things to say, as I recall. I took it at the time to mean they had gave someone a proxy to speak for them, maybe some business or political group.
This old, but I was ridiculed at my ER visit w/ my >1 y.o - after waiting for many hours they mocked us since her temp was only 104.8, not the truly urgent at 105.1, or some such numbers, an arbitrary distinction at least to us non-pediatric physician types. The little thing was clearly in trouble and the creeps had no compassion.
Exactly; my Dodge Caravan Sport w/3.8L would turn the 16 tires easily, handled well, fun to drive, and hauled all of my family, building materials, and machinery. 19 years and 240k miles, was cheap to own, not pretty anymore but still runs well.
Yes; people on lakes already share pontoon trailers. And yes they can be difficult at first to back up, but like everything a little bit of practice and you have a new life skill.
Similar, except I went through Elizabeth Warren's Consumer Protection Bureau, the one Republicans want to kill off. I actually got a direct, hand signed letter from PayPal's chief legal counsel listing the ways they would, and did, to correct the situation. We need more power, not less, in regard to shady business practices.
All of my college peeps learned BASIC* while running the interpreter. We learned to fingerbone in the seq. to load from the tape, after the tape loaded I don't recall, but we then could get an OK prompt maybe from the BASIC interpreter. We used TeleType terminals w/paper rolls to print, with a tape reader. In parallel we learned Motorola MC6800 mach language on the new Heathkit trainers; our final task was to interface a speaker and play "Anchors Away" as my prof was an ex Navy instructor. *We learned BASIC, but by applying it to data and practical problems IIRC like physics of projectile motion, electrical like resistors, simple databases. Was a Pop Electronics reader from 1970 or so.
I would just love a couple of small vertical turbines slowly pumping up my underground storage. I live in a sometimes violent wind location, often just when I could use the energy to run the furnace. I could see easily augering 10-15ft holes , dropping in vertically buried, used, composite tanks bought off Ebay, run at a fraction of their max pressure. Easily adding more to increase capacity, as needed. Yes a little pock-pock noise of the pistons and check valves, but it would only happen when wind blows. Though, a tank failure may mean retrieving it off the roof.
Agreed with all your points; the old term was bureaucrats. The term "deep state", to me, is very loaded, reeking of conspiracy theories, especially in today's politics. Thanks for the response.
What I saw over decades after Apollo was an unrelenting pounding by Congress, specifically Republicans in regards to cost and commercial payback, and Democrats in regards to why are we spending money out there when it is needed here, instead. Not a "deep state", of which even if it did exist would have then been filled with the unimaginative and risk adverse since because of my previous point.
It may increase domestic production for domestic customers, but I think we ran that experiment before. What I found decades ago is that products made domestically, driven by greed, profit seeking, marketing and labor costs were too expensive for your average customer. Tools for example; look at the pricing of simple domestic hand tools, technical and heavy duty. Scopes, meters, soldering tools, socket sets, electronics, schematics and repair manuals, specialty auto tools; there was a time these were too expensive for the average consumer. Sure it created manufacturing, sales and distribution jobs but by lock in - this did not make the technician or the customer wealthy, but it did make the business owner wealthier as they were the moneyed and licensed gatekeepers, charging royally for access. *As a youth I was screwed by electronics manufacturers, car companies for access to semiconductors, schematics, tools, and special tools. I believe that is exactly what China has faced for decades and has been fighting against, at least partially.
We already tried this (ex. gasoline stations) and it doesn't work: there is no way someone who pollutes an entire aquifer with barrels of toxin can be made to financially or mechanically remediate it. It always falls upon the government to do so.
I lived then and these pictures are very shallow and only show a little of what things were like. They should show things like Fishkill, NY, and how we would dump trash out in the sea, how every area had an impromptu dump down by the river where old mattresses and wash machines ended up and took decades to clean up, where people thought it was OK to dump their auto oil directly onto the ground, massive exposed unlined dumps where auto and household chemicals would leak eventually into aquifers, companies dumping things like chrome plating, benzene enough it floated on drinking aquifer (see Love Canal, etc.), where a guy thought it OK to buy medical waste and bury hundreds of the barrels in his back yard "because it was his land", or along Lake Erie where you could not even get near it from stink of dead Alewives(arguably man-made). The environment was worse than they portray in this pictorial.
We have a vast history of negative experience - your experiment was performed historically, and failed. Regulations didn't just appear - they arrived often because of often vast weaknesses or failures in our systems; whether moral, ethical, physical, or judicial. I lived then and things had gotten bad and individuals suing (for nuisance) was not practical - it literally took the power of a government to force change upon those both innocent and guilty.
We were taught to do it that way, without having access to spice and computers in general, using the data sheets and maybe a curve tracer if you were lucky.
I get the sacrificial analogy, but in fact, the larger problem is IF the cam does fail, will it allow interference that will lock up at speed and potentially destroy the highly powered but delicate mechanisms, as you find destroys engine valvetrains, mainframe printers, among others. And this is what it did; when it failed everything locked, but luckily nothing was destroyed because otherwise built like a tank. The alternate explanation is that it is simply a very complicated cam device with many extreme contours, expensive to fabricate from anything but plastic injection, with high force followers that cause it to fail over time, leading to a trip to the sewing machine repairman. edit: I called it a pulley, but it in fact was a complicated cam.
That makes me want to go inside my older machine and mark the current positions, say with a sharpy or dye. Mine had the main plastic timing pulley break in half and is un-obtainium. So I epoxied the pieces together, while drilling holes and embedding steel wire reinforcement. Works like a champ, though I go the feeling it was built with planned obsolescence, as the rest of it was built like a tank.
I took me a long time to figure out that under my magnetically attached spool holder/shuttle junk had built up allowing it to jump off the magnet, but only at high rpm, breaking the needle. BTW, when I went to school, you had to take Home Econ to graduate, and I learned to use sewing machines, utilizing sewing patterns and common tools like tracing paper, with a final project, as well as demonstrate many hand stitches. I wished my children would have had this opportunity.
Rosin core predates that computer by a half century, at least. Kester was formed in 1899 just for that purpose, according to them. Was just looking at Allied Radio 1933 and rosin core solder is prominent. Not sure why the comments; radio building was at high form in the early 20th century.
According to Kester, the solder company, they were formed in 1899 to make flux cored solder. Looking at the 1933 Allied Radio clearly shows Kester rosin core solder.
Been soldering/desoldering that very type of equipment for many decades; it is perfectly normal, and what you would have seen in commercial products of the time, from TVs to computers to even military, IIRC.
This machine is the stringing together major physics, optical, and electronic discoveries of the past century or so into a precision machine with incredible new capabilities. From the electron sources, the RF technologies, vacuum and supercon technology, the Bremstrellung (sp?), to the photon grouping, to the obviously advanced detectors with enormous parallel data throughput. One of the best talks I have seen. Bravo.
I have several greens fail SMART well before their time, not crash, only later came to the understanding in every case it was when I played loud music. My nearby small 4" subwoofer was causing it even though isolated from floor, apparently acoustic coupling. I understand this is/may be from lower flying height (from lower speed, but aren't they tail-draggers?).
The 1918 flu pandemic killed what, 5% of the world population? The next predicted pandemic is to be much worse IIRC. Chief Justice Roberts called the simple efficiency gap math "gobbledygook"; is he, or is he not, willing to say the same about this math? what if push comes to shove and has to force America the free individual to be inoculated, saving the herd? This simple thought experiment highlights we are all connected, there is only the illusion of individual liberty because the herd would never intentionally let you kill it off.
Oh, I never saw your original claim. The only thing I saw was your challenge to me about sources to my assertions. I don't keep sources handy, but have a historical interest in the area and retain what I read.
