i miss doing hourly comic day so heres a summary of my day so far

12-1 am: sleeping

1 am: i wake up needing to pee. i do that and go back to bed

4 am: i'm slipping in and out of sleep, dreaming. i vaguely remember a strange but interesting mall. in my dream they shut down the paint line for an emergency and i have to hurry through it in the dark like a maze, sprinklers dripping poisoned water into my hair. another dream and i'm at a party, and a girl from my high school is dead from alcohol poisoning and her parents carry her out wrapped in a white sheet, sobbing. i'm outside on the beach and they set her in the water. the waves pull away her shroud and all i see is her tattooed legs and i wonder if i really know this person, and then i see her face and realize i do. a popular girl from high school cradles her face in her hands. i rearrange the shroud around the dead girl when she begins to stir. she sits up wordlessly, the tide swirling around her, eyes unfocused. my alarm won't stop going off. i literally cannot get out of bed no matter how hard i try. i curl up under the sheets

5 am: i'm running very late and i don't want to use the work bathrooms so i skip my morning matcha. i drive to work and listen to an audiobook. it's kind of slow but not too bad

6 am: i sit at my desk for a while and then go upstairs to deal with a camera system

7 am: i continue dealing with the camera system, which isn't working for some reason, i chat with an engineer whose phone charger i've borrowed for the camera system, the guy i need to talk to isn't at his desk so i briefly hang out with one of my friends from IT til he shows up

8 am: we finally get the camera working and try setting it up. i look at the underbody of a car and see how many parts i can name from the bottom (from where i am i can see the frame, rear axle, axle wiring, leaf spring, heat shield, transmission, steering knuckle, driveshaft, brake caliper and rotor, fuel tank, catalytic converter, heat shield. there's some things i can't find or can't name, which is embarrassing, but it's all suspension parts and fortunately i'm not a suspension guy anymore)

9 am: we all go test a bunch of random trucks because our boss decided that's what he wanted us to do today. i catch a ride with some coworkers and think about eating lunch

10 am: still testing trucks. i'm mad because i want to listen to music but nothing's clicking and also i need to check for the car making odd sounds so i can't really properly listen to music. it's cold so i check the heating system first and test everything else while the car heats up. i warm my hands in the engine bay

11 am: i get back to the plant and then realize... i lost my wallet! and i can't get into the building without my wallet! and i've been getting in and out of a lot of trucks for the past two hours! and i don't remember which ones! and some of them might have been moved to another parking lot! i panic, drive back, and individually check each truck in the areas i was checking. luckily i find the wallet. i drive back to work.

12 pm: i eat lunch at my desk while handling emails because i used my lunch break on the wallet hunt. it's pizza and it's really good. i'm planning to chill for the rest of the day and then i realize i have to run a meeting at 1

1 pm: a coworker i like asks if i'm free in half an hour to help deal with an issue she's having. i tell her about the meeting. i speedrun the meeting. i've gotten a lot done over the past week so i bring a lot of updates to the table. after the meeting, i go to my coworker and we trade stories about work misadventures, and then i try to navigate the procedure she was having issues with but manage to spectacularly mess up and fail literally every single part, and then the machine stops working so we both just give up

2 pm: i ask an engineer a couple questions about how we handle a certain part, i leave work and hit the gas station. my mom gave me a gas station gift card she was gifted (her car is an EV and my dad rarely drives). it has less money than we thought so i can't fill my tank all the way. i get a horchata smoothie at the convenience store (i like getting a drink with my car when i fill her up, we bond over consuming liquids) but it tastes bad

3 pm: i drive home and listen to an album i won't name, which is really good but also vaguely anxiety inducing because i've taken a guitar lesson with the guitarist of the band and want to take more but trying to email him for scheduling is deeply anxiety inducing. i also listen to everything in transit by jacks mannequin which ive always loved but today it just sounds like noise.

4 pm: quick nap in bed and then i have the most wack telehealth appointment with my doctor in my life. she asks about my mood and i don't know how to tell her i'm having a really wild one so i don't. i don't want to talk to her about the whole issue i scheduled the appointment for but i do it anyways, which goes poorly.

5 pm: i clean my room, do something on my mom's car, completely mess it up, make a cup of coffee, do a covid test (which is broken), start taking the dishes out of the dishwasher, and realize i really need to pee so i sprint upstairs to shower

6 pm: shower. come downstairs and also kinda pissed off because i ran out of hot water despite showering pretty quick. i think i have covid because my dad has it and my throat hurts. i order a covid test from target. i eat dinner (frozen wontons and shrimp + a lot of fruit) and fantasize about smoothies

7 pm: i start writing this post and i comment on a reddit post. cringe. i work on stretching a piercing that fell out yesterday. this h urts.

8 pm: keep working on the post but i want to sleep now. i need to practice guitar. i was supposed to email that guy about guitar lessons... i work on music theory instead

It's just been a lot.

I was so proud of myself for handling all that I did last week...until I reached my limit and broke down on Friday. My husband wasn't home yet (he'd be home that afternoon). We had the neighbor plow the driveway and while that was helpful, it wasn't quite the stress reliever I thought it was going to be. It was good, don't get me wrong, I just thought I'd feel more relieved than I did.

I was going into the workroom to put some trash out there (until I could get to that trash cans that were still buried in snow outside) and I saw that we had several drips coming from the ceiling/beams. The side deck of the house is above the workroom (we think the workroom used to be a garage that was converted (and not well)). But a couple of years ago we had the deck resurfaced with that cool decking stuff that they use around pools. We did have one small drip in that room last winter. But this was way more. So I dried what I could and covered everything with a plastic tarp - well not even a tarp, but a plastic drop cloth that you use for painting because that was the only thing I had that was appropriate. This was when I lost it, I just started to cry and I video called my oldest and told her "I just needed to talk to someone who loved me." LOL It was helpful just seeing her face, and hearing her voice.

In the meantime I was waiting for an inspector to show up as we have to do radon mitigation in our house. We recently discovered that we have high levels of radon in our home. So he was coming to look at the house so he can write up a proposal and tell us how things would go during the process etc. (That went fine by the way, and so far the estimate is significantly lower than we had anticipated - though we still will have to factor in travel, lodging, and Per Diem expenses as they are from up north in the state, but it still should come in at less than what we had anticipated which is really good news).

So while I was waiting I was doing some dusting in the living room and that's when I noticed that one of the ledges in there was wet. So this is where the a-frame roof meets the half wall. This particular spot on the outside is currently covered with plastic tarp from the siding project because they didn't have roof tiles to replace the ones they had to remove to redo the flashing. Well with the amount of snow we've gotten it's gotten behind that plastic and is now seeping into the living room (there is one other small spot on the other side of the room - again same issue - siding messed up flashing).

The inspector showed up, we walked the house, he told me about mitigation etc. Then hubby came home while the inspector was still here (thankfully so I didn't have to try to remember all the details he told me).

We spent this past weekend working on massive snow removal on the side deck and the roof. (the seepage/drips in the workroom are also from the roof/flashing issue). My husband had to chip through approx 8 inches of ice on the roof, after taking the snow off.

I've said this before and I'll say it again this is a learning year for us for sure. And I truly hope we do better next winter - I mean how could we not??

But also when I had my breakdown I was so upset with myself because I automatically felt like a failure. Like my breakdown completely negated my successful 4 days prior to that. Which I know it didn't, but that was the feeling and that was the first thought that entered my mind. And that sucks.

My Jeep is still buried under snow (more so now obviously) and it still isn't going anywhere anytime soon - even if it wasn't buried. Because my battery that is less than 6 or 7 months old is dead from the cold weather and lack of use. So we ordered a car battery charger, but we haven't been able to use it yet because of the snow LOL. But once we do we can get it started so I can get it back down the mountain and back to the Jeep garage and have them look at it. And going forward we'll have to address that issue as well. We know the things that will help, but they don't help us at the moment. Again - hopefully we'll do better next winter.

Alright kiddies it's time for Tech Tree Talk! After catching up with a certain @artyrambles I was inspired to talk about the American TD Line First! As a reminder I will only be giving my thoughts on Tiers 6 through Teir 10, lets get started!

The line itself splits at the Tier 5 TD Wolverine and starts converting into turreted and non-turreted TD lines (which isn't seen until the Tier 7s) boasting a powerful 155mm gun at the end of the lines.

TIER 6

M36 Jackson: A nice all-round TD, good armor, great gun, decent mobility and flexibility though be aware that your Turret Traverse speed will leave you wanting if you're not turning the tank as well. Don't side scrape in this thing, especially against tanks that you know have the same or larger calibers than you.

M18 Hellcat: You know what's better than a TD with a great gun? A TD with a great gun that makes some of the fastest Light tanks look slow. don't try to take sharp turns in it or try to brawl in this tank. sniping and guerilla fighting are this things forte.

TIER 7

T25 AT: Now its been a hot minute since I've played this tank and from what I remember it was fine TD. Good 105mm top gun, nice top speed and decent armor that could bounce if you used the 10 degrees of gun depression.

T25/2: I skipped this one because to me it was a bigger Jackson with better mobility and a better gun but worse armor. now if this thing actually got a 105mm gun like the AT things would be different. meh.

TIER 8

T28: The beginning of the THICC a glorious 254mm frontal armor and great 120mm gun making it a bane of the free to plays and gold spammers unless they go for the cupolas and even then, they'll be hard pressed to actually damage it frontally without trying to flank it. though have fun getting anywhere without a turbo charger.

T28 Prot.: I was very disappointed in this tank when I got it. 203mm of turret and frontal hull armor sounds great until you realize that its at a fuckin 85 degree A N G L E and the turret doesn't go 360... pos.

TIER 9

T95: The Doom Turtle a whopping 305mm frontal armor practically unpennable unless hitting weak points with gold and the earth shaking 155mm gun. slow AF have fun trying to get into the action unless you have a turbo. great fun pub stomper if top tier. the nerfs this and the E3 took did little to stop it being a fun tank.

T30: Use to be a heavy tank back in the day along with the T34 being a non prem... god I'm old... anyway. A better improvement over the prot. much better turret with a very very small spot on the top that can be overmatched with high calibers. 360-degree turret is always a plus especially when using the 155mm.

TIER 10

T110E3: the GOAT of the American TD line Armor? whack. Gun? whack. cupola weakpoint? Nah fam. faster than the T95 to boot and funny enough you can bait shots into your Lower plate if people are firing non-gold at you! though if you see one doing a dance i.e. going back and forth you can get a pen on the roof if you're fast enough and have a high enough caliber.

T110E4: an absolute joke. Trash turret Trash weak points T R A S H I CAN SHIT ON THIS THING FRONTALLY WITH A T8 LIGHT TANK FROM A FAR!!! The only thing this has over the E3 is the fact that its faster and can shoot around corners with out have to turn the entire tank with its ew 180-degree turret. pos

and thats that! if yall have any questions/want me to go over something particular hmu the ask box is always open!

I'll see you on the battlefield.

Today was a pretty good day. I am very worried about James. They are struggling tonight. But I hope they can sleep easier.

I slept alright last night. I woke up a few times but mostly I was alright. James left early and took an Uber to work because while we now know that the light rail doesn't run that early on Sundays, we now also know that the bus doesn't either??? It's crazy to me. Like people work on Sundays! People who need public transportation work on Sunday?? I'm glad James made it to work okay. And I appreciated the extra couple hours of sleep.

When I woke up I felt kind of bleh. My body feels weird. I feel a little weird. But I was alright.

I got washed and dressed. I had to change my shirt because the seams were bothering me. But I got a different one on and was much more comfortable and cozy. I would change again to add a layering tank top before I left. But I'm the end I was very comfortable.

I brought some snacks and headed to the museum. It was chilly today. But it was nice. A windy but beautiful day.

James was a little low. I didn't want to bother them much. They were just chilling at the front desk and watching the world cup. We rooted for Argentina. Who would end up winning so that was exciting.

The church was in Decker. I would go post up in the garment loft. I brought my quilting project and my sewing machine and honestly just had the best time.

I would spend the entire day working on this. I would make a few trips around the musuem to talk to guests. I even had someone from the church come back to the garment loft to talk about art and religion. He for sure was trying to convert me but no one is going to tell me something I don't already know. I think religion is incredibly human. Wanting meaning, purpose, to feel like everything matters, that they matter. And I think that's great that people find comfort in community.

But mostly I worked on my quilt. This is 300 squares. And I would the last 4 rows completed. The way I made this I did 30 sets of 10 and then sewed 3 10s together to have 10 30s. I trimmed those down so the panels would be more even. And then sewed that all together.

I worked from 10 until around 1at that point in the project. I had spoken to 10 or so people. Everyone was really nice.

And after a snack and giving James a lunch break (where they went across the street to check on the bike shop which has apparently been broken into and the police called James for some unknown reason???) I would start figuring out how to turn my quilted panel into a bag.

I think I'm going to try to make a bunch of bags. I used to love making bags and I know how to do a lot of things better now. And while it took a while to make the panel I love how the bag came together. It is such a good size and I can't wait to try to make more with the other quilt panels I've made.

Once the bag was made I started working on straps with some scrap fabric. My first strap came out so good. The second one has some flaws. But I'm still really excited about the whole thing.

Right at the end of the day as I'm attaching the second strap my needle broke. And I didn't have any extras. I was very bummed but at least it happened closer to 3.

We closed the museum. And once James was done counting their drawer we went to have dinner.

We were going to go to iron rooster but they closed at 3 so instead we went to Little Havana and it was so good!

We didn't talk a ton. I think we were both just beat. I did asl James football questions. They ordered a steak sandwich and I got a fancy avacado wanton roll that I loved. I told the waiter how I was excited to eat something interesting. I feel like I never get to eat something unusual but also really pretty. So that was really cool.

We finished our meal with a shared piece of cake. And headed out.

We had to stop at theater project to get James's laptop charger. My belly hurt and I really wanted to get home. And so James took me home as quick as they could.

When we got back here my new clogs came and they are perfect. I can't wait to wear them. I felt better being home. James would get in bed to finish editing their podcast. And I finished the strap on my bag.

We would hang out in bed for a while. And then go and go all of our advents we haven't checked for a few days. We have so much jam now. I'm excited to make cookies tomorrow hopefully.

I took a bath and watched a documentary. I pulled out my quilt fabrics to see how many bags I think I could make with what I have sitting around. I am excited to try that this week. It's a good project to focus on.

Now I am going to go put some more water in the fish tank so it'll be quieter. I just moved some pillows around to make James hopefully more comfy. And I'll start winding down for sleep soon.

I hope tomorrow is beautiful. And we can all feel good. Until next time everyone. Sleep well!!

On creating unique heirloom artifacts

Mankind is entering a low-power stage. Even if this civilization recovers from the upcoming end of oil, I don't expect this current level of per-capita power - roughly 2.6 kilowatts continuously, at least in the EU - to be a normal state of living for the next 50000 years. We will have to abandon our high-powered activities, which will make low-powered devices much more attractive than today.

Phones and laptops are currently the most power-efficient computing devices we have. This low-power usage paradoxically relies on a very high-complexity production process: the manufacturing of high-density chips. This high density is the most important factor for power savings, vastly more important than any other architecture and power-saving structures.

Since we're moving towards simplification, this means that this decade's chips are more power efficient than almost anything that will come afterwards - at least when looking at comparable price points. This makes our current phones and laptops unique assets that can only grow in value. It's easy to underestimate how powerful these things are, because they're being used to work on utter mundanity. For comparison, the calculator app on my phone alone would have replaced hundreds of workers calculating ballistic trajectories in WW1. The charger chip in my phone cable has more computing power than the Apollo Moon lander.

These chips are technological marvels that we'll only ever produce in a limited time window. Before 1950 we didn't know how, and after 2050 we'll have lost most of the infrastructure to do keep these high-tech facilities running.

Currently these chips are easy and cheap to produce, so there are hundreds of billions of them on the planet. But because humanity only has a 100-year window to produce them, this is still a limited supply that needs to last tens of thousands of years. Worse, we're treating these chips as disposable, so 99% of these chips end up being destroyed after a 2-5 year use window. To me that's a tragedy because they have a near-infinite lifespan, when treated correctly. [yes I know about ionic electrochemical migration; it's an overrated concern] It also means that if you preserve your own chips, and know how to leverage them, you'll have a unique advantage over most other people.

The preservation of these chips is facing a couple of issues. Some of those are obvious (batteries, breaking touchscreens), some of those less so. There's a unique multiplier to adapting to these challenges now, before collapse progresses too much.

I'm writing this post to help you preserve your chips, which I consider one of the biggest marvels that mankind has ever created.

Issue #1: Batteries

Batteries are the most immediate aging bottleneck. No matter the chemistry, they all die within a couple of years. They're chemically fragile and don't store well, so I can't recommend stocking up. If there's no radical battery breakthrough in the next couple of years, we're going to lose battery operation for most phones and laptops completely. I'll assume that this will happen.

The easiest solution for failing batteries would be to hook up a phone / laptop to a less portable power source, like a bike generator, water wheel, or solar panel. Those are fairly low-tech and will probably be widely available long into civilizational collapse, but you'll need a rectifier and a DC-DC converter to run a phone / laptop with them. Both of those are going to become unavailable in the next decade or two.

For anything besides a water wheel, you'll have to deal with fluctuating power sources. My best idea for that are supercapacitors. They're bulky, they're relatively expensive, they don't hold their charge well, but they'll basically last forever. Especially for mobile operations powered by solar panels or hand cranks, a small array of supercapacitors would be essential. Specifically for this combo of solar panels and supercapacitors, you'll also need a buy a MPTT charge controller before they become unavailable.

In stationary usage, nickel-iron batteries or potential power storage could be good alternatives. These are fairly low-tech and not urgent to procure.

Issue #2: Touchscreens

They obviously break. Less obviously, they're surprisingly hard to produce, because they use Indium, one of the rarest elements on the planet, for their core function. There's no plausible way to repair a broken screen, and because the quantities on the screen are so low, recycling the Indium is also implausible. This means that touchscreens for your device will become unavailable in the next decade or two. It's possible that we'll get graphene touchscreens soon, which should be a bit simpler to produce than our current models, potentially extending the availability of replacement touchscreens beyond 2030. But good luck getting one for your specific phone.

The low-tech solution is to protect the screens. Use heavy-duty cases, laptop cases, maybe even a padded enclosure when you're facing rough travel.

But inherently, this fragility makes phones less viable than laptops. With a laptop, you can change or repair a keyboard, you can switch to fully remote operation with a network cable, or you could set it up to operate with esoteric input (audio cues, for example). A broken screen also opens up the phone for water damage.

Issue #3: Software

Obviously, after the end of Google or Apple, all of your purchased apps are not going to be available. Unless you've already downloaded them to your phone. AND NEVER DELETE THEM AGAIN. Don't run out of storage space (a topic continued in issue #4).

On the app side, there's a big split between the two camps:

Android makes it possible to install third-party apps, so you'll probably have a choice of aftermarket app stores for a decade or longer. You can also re-install apps if you happen to have the APK stored somewhere else.

On the Apple side, this looks much worse: you'd need a jailbroken phone to install new apps. And even most contemporary jailbreaks essentially expire after 8 days, requiring you to fetch permission from Apple each time. The last iPhone that was fully jailbreakable was the iPhone 5. If you, like me, prefer the iPhone, that's probably going to be your device for the majority of your remaining life. I own two. You also need to jailbreak them while Apple still exists, because they need to sign a cryptographic certificate in the process.

Bonus points: if you do end up perma-jailbreaking your iPhone 5, you'll also unlock the full compute platform, allowing you to develop your own apps on a separate computer. I recommend downloading Xcode and the Swift documentation if you want to go that route.

Because there's no more firmware updates, you'll also be vulnerable to exploits and hacker attacks. Once Apple and Google are gone, I'd recommend **going offline outside your home network** and avoid the risk of your phone becoming unusable.

Issue #4: MOSFETs

This is where it gets fiddly.

Every computer, no matter how big or how small, has a few DC-DC converters. MOSFETs are the reliable, powerful and cheap core component in these DC-DC converters. They'll also all fail within 20-50 years, mostly because they're usually undersized for their purpose (for multiple money reasons).

Almost all other electronic components have an effective lifespan in the tens of decades, potentially centuries, but MOSFETs tend to die much earlier. This wouldn't be bad in itself - we'll have plenty of spare parts from millions of other broken electronics - but the insidious fact is that, when MOSFETs die, they usually kill an important chip too. And those are not easily replaceable, and not repairable at all.

There is a good mitigation for this:

You add a transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode in parallel with your chip, which you can think of as a bulletproof vest. It'll take the hit when the MOSFET tries to kill the chip. And you add a small fuse before your MOSFET, so it doesn't kill anything upstream either.

These two components are tiny and cheap, but this needs to be done for every one of your devices, at multiple locations, possibly up to 30 times. You'll need a skilled repair person for this who knows how to modify existing circuits. Both the TVS diode and the fuse also need to have the right voltage and current values for each local circuit - just like picking the right size of bulletproof vest.

There's potential to be fooled here by some supposed expert who just puts in some random TVS diodes and fuses that they happen to have in stock. Potentially they don't even know that the right values are important. And you'll only notice that they made a mistake years or even decades later. I expect this to become a "on customer demand" service at electronic repair stores in the 2030s. Don't skimp on this and get someone reputable.

Issue #5: NAND degradation

This is where it gets ugly.

Every cell of storage in your phone / laptop has a limited life span. The more often you write to it, the shorter it will ultimately last. After the end of its life is reached, each cell gets marked as dead, and your overall capacity shrinks. This is not repairable.

Because all existing operating systems are designed to take storage as disposable, there are almost no options to avoid this issue. In phones, you can only mitigate:

- leave a decent amount of empty space to spread the depletion across multiple cells - pay someone to install a fresh storage chip (which you stocked up on, wisely) - generally avoid saving big data (videos, pictures etc)

On laptops, you have a few more obscure choices that all boild down to one thing: perform most of the operations in RAM (which has a practically indefinite lifespan) with a read-only operating system.

You can also mitigate with other physical media (harddrives, tape) but those will also break eventually, without adequate replacement. Reliable data storage during civilizational collapse is a whole separate can of worms.

NAND depletion is the factor that's probably going to kill 99% of even the collapse-adapted devices. If you want to mitigate for this, essentially creating a valuable heritage artifact, always get the highest capacity storage and stock up on the NAND chips that are compatible with your devices. You can buy the chips themselves new, but they're not super cheap ($10-$20). I'd suggest buying a broken phone instead, the same model as your own. Even old phones have basically virgin NAND chips. Avoid water-damaged phones and the ones that don't charge. Physical damage is the best.

Post: SOLAR ENERGY FROM PLANT PROTEIN STRUCTURE

Nanoscience is quite fascinated with the process of photosynthesis. They want to duplicate this process exhibited by green plants and utilize the solar power for energy use. Till now power generating solar panels are not in a position to replace the fossil fuels. They produce little amount of energy and quite expensive also. Generation of solar energy:Deserts are more suitable locations for solar power than areas experiencing temperate climate. But we can have a new source of solar power that also delivered a power packed performance for us when it is on our dinner/lunch plate i.e. pea power.We know they taste good but scientists are trying to utilize them for generation of solar energy. This project is undertaken by researchers from Tel Aviv University’s Department of Biochemistry. They find out that minute crystals present in peas could be utilized as battery chargers. They are not ruling out the possibility of pea crystals as the core of efficient artificial solar cells.Nanoscience is basically the science of small particles of materials. In modern times it is one of the hot pursuits in research frontiers. Mother Nature, till date is the greatest nanoscientist. She has no problem in positioning the molecules with sub-nanometer precision. It’s the usual routine job for nature. This kind of positioning is also vital to the operation of biological complexes such as photosynthesis. Prof. Nelson’s research paid attention to this aspect.Green plants convert solar energy into chemical energy through various reactions. Tel Aviv’s scientists are concentrating on the Photosystem I (PSI) complex, because this particular phase is responsible for the conversion of light energy into other types of energy, such as chemical energy. The Tel Aviv researchers discovered that this complex is packed into crystals found in peas. These crystals could potentially turn light energy into electricity.Prof. Nathan Nelson of Tel Aviv University’s Department of Biochemistry tells us, “Looking at the most complicated membrane structure found in a plant, we deciphered a complex membrane protein structure which is the core of our new proposed model for developing ‘green’ energy.” Plants have evolved a perfect mechanism to convert solar energy into chemical energy. They have developed a very sophisticated “nano-machinery” which works in association with sunlight and provides a perfect quantum yield of 100%. This whole process is termed as Photosystem I (PSI) complex. The same is being isolated from pea leaves and crystallized. Prof. Nelson put this crystal structure to high resolution. This way he was able to describe its intricate structure in detail.The Tel Aviv University team carried out various experiments and placed the crystals on gold covered plates. They were able to generate a charge of 10 volts. That’s not enough to establish a power house but it can be utilized for low-energy power switches. Prof. Nelson explains about his amazement and joy, “One can imagine our amazement and joy when, upon illumination of those crystals placed on gold covered plates, we were able to generate a voltage of 10 volts. This won’t solve our world’s energy problem, but this could be assembled in power switches for low-power solar needs, for example.”Prof. Nelson explains, “My research aims to come close to achieving the energy production that plants can obtain when converting sun to sugars in their green leaves.” Prof. Nelson states further, “If we could come even close to how plants are manufacturing their sugar energy, we’d have a breakthrough. It’s therefore important to solve the structure of this nano-machine to understand its function.”GROWING PEAS CAN BE USEFUL IN MORE WAYS THAN THOUGHT! https://www.blaqsbi.com/bN5

Freya Ridings - Castles (Official Video)

We have a lot of stuff to talk about how people need to learn that we need this stuff we need regular cars we need bikes and now and he says you can sell the frame and the suspension and it's like a rolling chassis but with the lights and light kit and everything set the motor and a transmission and he and suggest one from the lawn mowers and Dan was excited he said that's an easy way to do it and a lot less liability and you have instructions on how to do it and people will figure it out they really need to and they'll get these damn lawn mowers right on lawn mowers and so now I understand he's on it and this is going to go and other people will be making the frames and the seat it's important to us and suspension in the forks and handlebars and tires brakes brake system and flight system and battery and then you have like this thing that hooks up to the motor somehow it says it's like a small capacitor with with a voltage regulator inside and will and Bill say that's what it is that's really a charger so that's nice to know you guys and the other goobers and he wants to do goober Meister I want to do goober Meister with him and he says I don't want to do goopermeister it's goobermeister. And yeah that would be fun it says hurricane arrange it she's looked a little like you before that's fun as well but really all you have to do is start like a consortium like you guys do with your food places it's like a co-op and you have coops that link together you can start it with a co-op actually cuz you could use him hemp and I actually got to do that that sounds like intriguing stuff and really they let you do that kind of thing cuz I think it's silly but we'd be starting a gear company and we'd start like this level one and level two and we have it all written down and I want to do it but we need this motorcycle idea it's a smaller bike it's good everyone's small you used to bring some Stratton and it has a special exhaust that you don't need to use a like the smelly catalytic converter and it sounds real loud and it sounds real good and I want to do that and really they're performance these days of the basic parts is really good and we're going to have to start this up and we need to and boil this would be a lot of fun having bikes that fit us and tons of them and really making the bike and the frame it's like a rolling chassis with the light system and brake system and usually they're way too much money but this would be a lightweight frame and inexpensive parts I made from local suppliers and he's saying maybe we could get recycled parts going and start recycling like madness and Dan says some of them are and it's a great idea and if you kick some parts in a hard to get for them front forks are impossible even the Springer would be great and so they're going to look at that and you can use the Springer for any of the bikes except for like a dirt bike but so we're going to look at going ahead and doing that too and trying to do our own and it's going to be a fad and it will kick in and it will be something everybody starts doing it's hard for a regular people to do cuz they can't get the motor in there and it really need to have instructions for your people that work and we get that too they won't be able to if you don't so you have to be careful with it but I want to go ahead and make mine and he says do you have a frame that's like smaller instead I might have one kicking around that we were using since it's one compete a little because my shop is kind of small and he gets that and you might get ideas and I might do it for mine and we can get these lawn mowers out of our yards we have tons of these damn things

Freya ridings

I like this idea a lot of making the rolling chassis with the lights and shocks and brakes it is really not a unique idea but it's a great one it's a little unique cuz you have the lights in the brakes everything you need except the motor but really actually it is unique I take it back as for a lawn mower and you can include the sprockets that make it go pretty much the fastest and with one gear and he says you really have two gears there sort of a gear and a half and I get that it's because the sprockets make it faster so we are going to go ahead and start to make our own cuz nobody's doing anything

Mac daddy

Max usually don't do it and mac daddy too but really they don't have anything and people are running out of stuff that works and these bikes would be great for a while and then people would make the v twin motor for the Briggs & Stratton company and they still run it and they are easy to make and they come out fast and boy are they nice they're decent motors and we're hoping this idea works

Yeah ok so I already forgot to post, I've been getting off of planes and loading bags into busses as I slowly inch to my final destination. I believe tonight I'll be in my hotel room, that's a nice thought.

It's so hot here in Iraq, but the tent we were placed in last night got so cold I had to get my sleeping bag out; bless the air conditioners all around the world.

When I've gotten settled down, I'd like to tell you guys about my dnd setting. It's been a major hit within my group and we haven't even played a session yet, more on that later.

Bit of a short post today. I'm not really used to this, and travel makes it a tad difficult. Oh yeah

I've started playing pokemon go again, mostly because my ds charger takes 110 volts and my converter can only go down to 120. To get my pokemon fix, I've moved to pokemon go for now, but I miss my sceptile on omega ruby.

It's Wednesday, July 26 and it's looking to be a pretty nice day. I want to enjoy a bit more rest before I have to move bags again, you should try to get some soon. Never know when you've gotta move some bags.

John’s Bike: 2015 Zero SR

On Monday April 4, Gopher the Smart Car was delivered to me. On Wednesday April 6, I’d drive my husband in our electric car to buy his first electric vehicle: a 2015 Zero SR. I had no idea this bike would put me back in the seat after a crash I’d had 20 years previous.

Service Stats

In Service Date: 4/6/2016 In Service Mileage: 250 Out of Service Date: 9/23/2017 Out of Service Mileage: 5005 Service Life: 17 months, 4,755 miles

The History & Story

I was not always a motorcyclist. In fact when I met my husband I was very much against them, because I’d already flipped one and felt they were too dangerous. I had no idea that cleaning up the garage one day would change my opinion on motorcycles. While cleaning out the garage at his old townhouse, I came across a sealed turn signal lens cover that was too small for a car. I asked what this went to, and my husband stopped and dropped the box he was holding. He stared at the package I was holding between my fingers and took it from me never breaking eye contact with it. He then tells me this was the turn signal lens for Craig’s motorcycle. Ok, so, who is Craig?

Turns out Craig was one of his best friends in college. Craig died in a motorcycle accident. The day before Craig died, he and my husband skipped classes and hung out all day. The next day he was in the hospital after being struck by a vehicle. I’ll be honest I don’t know all the details, I do know that Craig was buried in Austin, TX and that my husband has a story about his funeral and the rental Mazda Miata he got from Enterprise to attend it.

So, great, I unearthed this rather sad memory. After I’m told this story my husband says that Craig had always said he’d teach him how to ride a motorcycle. I told him how I felt about that, but I could tell this wasn’t the last I’d hear about Craig and motorcycles. Not quite a year later, John shows me the website for Zero motorcycles and says he wants one of them to commute with. I was very, very much against it. However, over time, I caved in... happy spouse, happy life or some such saying. But we didn’t go straight for the Zero...

My husband started with a Sachs MadASS - think if Vespa and Ducati had a lovechild. It was a moped, but it looked like a motorcycle. I picked it up in Nashville, TN bringing back my dad’s old F150 and his 1986 VW Golf diesel to sell off for him. I forgot how long he rode that thing, but the next bike was a BMW 650CS, the short-lived City Sport commuter bike. I know he had this bike for a couple of years, and he was annoyed with it because he never took it on the highway (he had no reason to) and it didn’t like being used as a slow speed commuter. Often it would stall out going through intersections unless a friend of ours ran it on the highway once a month for us.

Fast forward to acquiring Gopher and saying goodbye to VW diesels. John had made friends with the sales guy at the local powersports dealer that sells Zeros, and that guy let him know they had a demo unit coming up for sale at a discount. Since I’d gone electric, it was only fitting that he did too. So we sold the BMW to someone from Maine who flew down and rode it back home and we hopped in the electric car to go buy an electric motorcycle.

I wish I could say that this bike was the end all be all, but it was really a headache from the start. We had numerous issues with the on board charger, the DC-DC converter, and I believe the main bike board failed on it at one point in time. There was a solid 4 months where we were riding the demo DSR instead of our SR because it was waiting on Zero to fix it. But more on that later.

During our time with it, both the powersports sales manager and my husband egged me on to ride it. I finally caved in because I felt it was like having a manual: you should be able to at least move it around your property. So I slowly started to learn to ride a two wheel vehicle again.

Fast forward to the EV Challenge the following year (2017). This event happened on the same day as “Tour de Brew,” a bicycle-based brewery tour that my husband was dying to attend. Because we had three vehicles to show (the BMW, the Smart, and the Zero motorcycle), we dropped the BMW off the night before with my husband’s bicycle stored in the back of it. The next morning I drove the Smart and he rode the Zero to the show grounds. In his haste to get to the starting line of the tour, he picked up the wrong Plug-in NC tote bag that had all the car keys in it instead of his bag with his wallet and gloves. I didn’t realize this until the end of the day, when it was time to pack up and leave.

I called him and he says he’s not far from campus -- over at a place off Lake Wheeler Rd, and that he thinks he left the key to the bike in its ignition. Sure enough, it was there. He said to just hop on it and ride over to pick up the car keys. I said no, I’m in toe shoes and shorts and I don’t know that your helmet will fit. He said well you can ride over here or you can wait two more hours for this to be over. I decided to see if his helmet would fit.

I hopped on the bike and said a small prayer, turned the key and twisted the throttle. Away I went -- I only needed to go 2 miles to get the keys. No big deal. I got there, got the keys, and then took a 10-mile detour to get back to the cars. Turns out, I really liked how the Zero rode.

I loved it so much, I rode it home and promptly laid it down in my driveway, gently. There wasn’t much damage...

After this we started trading off on Tuesdays. I’d take the bike to work, he’d take my car to work and then his run club event afterwards. We did this for a short time before he decided that commuting with a motorcycle was stupid, and he wanted a convertible smart car instead. I started riding the bike on Tuesdays, and Sundays, and before long I was ready to try and do a long ride with it.

In 2017, Lidl opened their first store in Sanford, North Caroilina. I decided that I wanted to ride the Zero there -- it was 40 miles -- then ride it to my friend’s house in Durham. I remember I used my Pebble smart watch to assist with the turn by turn directions, and I was terrified on the few stretches of 55mph roads I had to be on. However I managed to make it to the Lidl, pick up some mixers, and head to my friend’s home in Durham unscathed.

But sadly, the battery management on these early units was really problematic. A few weeks after this successful long ride, I had attended a meeting in Burlington with the Triad Auto Association on the Zero. On my way back home I was going to again stop at my friend’s home in Durham (this was my weekend thing for many years), and as I was 2 miles from his house the battery went from 7% to 0% and stranded me in Durham.

I managed to push the bike up into someone’s yard as the road I died on had no shoulder or sidewalk. The owner was super nice and he ran an extension cord out for me to let the bike charge -- thankfully it did. I called my husband who had went to get a small trailer so we could tow the bike, but by the time he got the rig there it was charged up enough to make it to our friend’s house. I rode it over there and plugged it in, and we left it overnight and picked it back up on Sunday. It was around this time that we began to really engage Zero with all the problems on the bike, and ultimate they ended up taking this bike back. That’s when I bought my 2017, which thankfully, was a problem-free machine...except for the overheating due to its non-cooled battery design.

-December 27th, Factory Tyrant's Journal, Entry 17-

Since I'm completely out of charged quartz, I'm starting today with a mining trip.

This mining trip resulted in 1 stack plus 55 iron ore, 45 gold ore, 20 diamonds, 10 emeralds, 5 stacks plus 16 coal, 1 stack plus 18 lead ore, 59 silver ore, 10 nickel ore, 3 uranium ore, 14 cinnabar ore, 7 stacks plus 8 redstone, 2 stacks plus 28 lapis, 2 stacks plus 29 electrotine, 2 stacks plus 21 sulfur, 8 tanzanite, 4 rubies, 4 rare earths, 15 order crystals, 7 earth crystals, 11 nether quartz, 5 certus quartz, and 4 charged quartz, I also found a mineshaft, but didn't explore it.

Having lots of mods makes lots of things generate underground.

Anyway, I'm going to make something that should have been the first thing I used fluix crystals for, that being a charger (AE2).

The charger has one purpose, and that is to convert regular certus quartz into charged certus quartz, I'm not sure why I didn't think to make one before.

After making a charger, I made an ME crafting terminal, which is the last thing I need to make a digital storage setup.

My new storage system looks like this.

The thing on the left is an ME drive, in the middle is an ME controller, on the right is the crafting terminal I just made, and on the far right is an iron chest for storing iron storage boxes.

I don't want to store storage boxes of any kind (or really anything with lots of NBT data) in my digital storage, because according to Iskall85 in his Vault Hunters 1.16 YouTube series if you store too much data in a single tile entity it can corrupt your world, and I'd like to avoid that.

Anyway, here's what the crafting terminal interface looks like.

The interface lists all items in storage, includes a search bar (which I've set to sync with my JEI search bar in the bottom right), and allows for multiple sorting modes (alphabetically, by item quantity, or by mod ID).

I don't think I can fit all my items in here, so I'm going to work on getting 2 4K storage cells, which can each hold 4kb, but can still only hold 63 types of items.

4K storage cells crafted, and now I can put everything in digital storage (except for my 7 full storage boxes of cobblestone that I have outside of digital storage).

Now that my digital storage is set up (and all the iron chests I had have been cleaned up), I can focus on other things without having to manually look through chests for stuff.

The next thing I want to do is start moving my IC2 machines up to power tier 2, but the tier 2 versions of my machines all require steel, which I can't make just yet, so I'm going a blast furnace (Railcraft), which turns iron into steel (it does not smelt ores at double speed like the vanilla 1.14 blast furnace).

I need a decent amount of nether bricks to make a blast furnace, and although I have enough netherrack to make enough nether bricks, it does still take time to smelt.

I actually made 2 blast furnaces, because (just like the coke oven) they're slow.

Unlike coke ovens, blast furnaces actually require fuel, though they can accept any fuel a furnace can (I'll be using charcoal because my arboretum is making more wood than I know what to do with).

Each steel ingot takes 64 seconds to make, and each piece of charcoal lasts 16 seconds, so it takes 4 charcoal to make 1 steel ingot (and 1 ground blast furnace slag, which is used for high speed tracks that I don't plan on using).

Now that I have steel production, the first machine I'd like to upgrade is my electric furnace.

The tier 2 version of the electric furnace is the induction furnace, which can process up to 2 items at once, and will also gradually heat up while running, which increases smelting speed.

The induction furnace will cool down while not in use, and I think if heat reaches 100% it just caps there and doesn't cause the machine to explode or stop working.

The main problem with it is that it's a tier 2 machine, so it's not getting enough power, so it's constantly switching between being shut off because it doesn't have enough power to run and running because it has enough power to do so for a few milliseconds, this basically just means that it's running slower than normal.

This also means that it's constantly playing its shutdown noise, which isn't exactly pleasant to hear on an infinite loop.

To solve this issue, I just made 2 more geothermal generators, I'm sure my pump setup can handle it.

Anyway, I'll wait until next time to upgrade my other machines.

movavi video converter windows 7 32

I have a subject for you: what can't you do with an iPod these days? These handy little devices supply you with the ability to not only listen to music, but to view movies as anyway. The catch is that the material you want to take must be iPod compatible. I am certain that you've heard it said a million times, throughout your web marketing career, that you ALWAYS need to split test, and track your advantages. It's just one guys online marketing axioms like, "The automobile dealers in the list", or, "Content is king". For your music files that be converted, like music files due to cd, just install the CD Ripper onto your then load your music CD to the CD direct. This software provides rich video editing functions to be able to trim, crop and edit DVD cartoon. Click the "Crop" button, and then you will the pop up window (See the figure below). The masai have a frame in dashed line around the movie movavi video suite; you can drag it to cut the black edges. Cost: Most outsourced providers charge between $100-$200 dollars and limit the size of the video to 20-30 photos. In the event you go aside from the standard number of photos, they charge you another per photo charge. For produce your video tributes in-house, pattern experts looking for around around $15-20 and it more convenient for as many photos as you like. Not to mention, movavi video suite Registration Key can also produce just as many additional copies as well-developed at no additional pace. Why? Because THEY will be seen, and you are also NOT. It's not about quality, here - not in this particular particular as an example. It's about people KNOWING you're there. And movavi video suite Crack Full Version is the only way this is achieved. A 540 mAHLi-ion battery is rated to provide up to 480 minutes usage as well as 220 hours standby moments. But, in practice, I found out that the battery can become exhausted rather rapidly, along with are multitasking with additional services for GPS, Wi-FI or Wireless. Keep your charger handy potentially spare electric battery. In movavi video suite Crack 2023 , I'm very pleased overall more than Motorola Droid X from Verizon, and i wish offer it my very highest recommendation. It is worth your serious consideration if you might be looking to get new device. I would even encourage for you to definitely trade with your current model for this beauty.

Stache 7 used for sale

STACHE 7 USED FOR SALE UPGRADE

STACHE 7 USED FOR SALE PLUS

Personally I'm running a GX50 with a 30 front and it's good for me and my area. This is KIND of a wash because the GX has a higher gear, but if you are superstrong- a GX11 42 may be the best choice because you can run a larger front ring. The SLX46 allows you to run a 32 oval IIRC, where as the 50 is a 30 oval max- and that can be iffy. The problem with the GX12 isn't that the chain is closer to the tire (it isn't-well a little, but not enough to matter), but instead that it restricts how big of a front ring you can put on- particularly with ovals, because they will hit the underside of the elevated chainstay. I live in Idaho-not real rocky or rooty but very mountainous, I use the highest gear for about half of every ride and the lowest gear too damned often. The Yari was a better fit for me and my riding style. The Pike's a great fork but it's more trail oriented like a Fox 34.

STACHE 7 USED FOR SALE PLUS

The Yari's platform is designed for much more travel than you actually get on the Stache plus it's a big hit platform so it is SUPER stiff, but plush (I exchanged my Magnum Comp for a Yari). If you are a hard charger, the Stache is a HT that actually can make use of the stiffer platform of the Yari. So a few things, I don't know how heavy you are or what kind of riding you do but here are my thoughts- for history, I have a 2016 Stache 7 and because I get itchy, I've upgraded everything EXCEPT the bottom bracket, headset, and the seat: The 9.7 frame will be lighter and you will have the ability to build a lighter bike in the end with carbon, but one good tree crash and you're done. I've seen people buy and brag about carbon seatpost upgrades that are heavier and weaker than Thomson aluminum. Carbon versus Aluminum will always be a fight. People with upgrade'itis or those who need to own the latest greatest fight about the benefits of that one gear, but I wouldn't want to run my chain any closer to my tire than I already am with 11spd. Over all, I'm not that impressed with Eagle in theory. A house brand wheelset is fine for someone who buys new bikes all the time.but I've seen and heard of more than one shredded Bontrager line hub. Bombproof and very convertible/adaptable to new forks and frames if you change later. I'm a monster-fan of Hope hubs simply because I've still got my first Hope wheelset that I had built in 2006 and they're still running very strong. Sure, you get a warranty but a shredded hub after the warranty is over is an expensive fix. I sure as crap wouldn't buy Bontrager carbon wheelset. I'm running a Thomson stem and Deity bars because it's the perfect fit that I like. I'm really picky about my cockpit, so bars and stems usually go away. I'm running XT.Īll the Bontrager house brand parts don't impressed me at all. I have no experience with SRAM Guide R brakes, but they are probably a little better than the mt500's on the 7. Perceivable lateral stiffness of carbon will be muted by low psi far tires. Snappy, stiffer carbon frames? I don't much care and wouldn't notice on a 29+ bike all that much. Carbon takes a blunt hit or chip, and you will worry about it. You rarely see people willing to buy second hand carbon frames. Noticeably? Maybe a little, but I doubt you'd miss it.Ĭarbon vs aluminum? Long debate there. Will it be better than a Yari? Initially, yes.

STACHE 7 USED FOR SALE UPGRADE

You can always upgrade the damper to one that's better than the Charger later if you want. The damper on the Yari is very effective for singletrack and ability to run Tokens allows for plush small bump compliance with good end of stroke resistance. No matter what, you're going to feel the trail via the "hard tail". The Pike is lighter, but overall bike weight is negligible and won't be noticed. I feel the benefits of the Charger damper on the Pike aren't as appreciable on a hardtail. I don't necessarily feel Eagle is an upgrade in performance in this bike.just bragging rights to have 1 more gear. The carbon bike will have a higher gear ratio (ability to go faster on pavement or smooth trail), but I'm running 30x11-40 on my Stache and rarely use my highest gear because I ride in the woods.not on the street. The 7 will climb better (easier) because the lowest gear is 18.6" vs 19.5" on the 9.7. The 9.7 gearing is 32x 10-50 (unless you change the 9.7's chainring) versus the 7 28x 11-46.

Disneyland Paris Travel Guide

No make a difference the guide on your bedside, you know that you require the fundamentals. You require to know the best locations to remain, shop, consume and drink. You require to know what the climate will be like and when to go for the very best deals and the very best climate. You require to know what museums are a must and which ones are a bust. All the best journey books have a strong traveling with kids section. Appear for large, clear maps and if they fold out, that is even better. Most individuals who travel to Dhanbad, frequently finish up in Topchanchi. A major attraction here is an artificial lake, which was produced way back in 1915 by excavating the region near the slope of the Parasnath Hill. The lake was meant to be a supply of water for the individuals of Jharia. An additional close by attraction is Gomoh. This place is historically important as it is the spot from where Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose boarded his train to transfer out of India. There is a statue of Netaji at the Topchanchi market, which was erected in the memory of this event. Topchanchi has proved its title in the sphere of whatever small Dhanbad travel tourism industry has to provide. Another benefit is that you can also visit the close by places of the well-liked location as these packages also provide this kind of chances that let you go some other places as well. All you require to do is to discover out the really worth online agent in purchase to guide such a offer. The better way to get this offer is to be relaxed and discover out the perfect deal for you that will assist you in the correct way. Use click here (a.k.a Rider Change). Two or more grownup guests traveling with small kids who don't fit the height necessity of a ride can take advantage of the Child Swap, sometimes called the Baby Swap, Rider Switch or Rider Swap. When your party enters the queue, tell the Cast Member you'd like to do the Kid Swap. The Cast Member will then inform you as to methods. One of the first buildings built in NZ exclusively with tourists in thoughts. Originally built as a tub house and hot water therapy middle it has now been converted. Great museum but the spotlight is the movie on nearby history, sit down and be sure to be holding on - a complete multimedia encounter. Definite must do.
