Hey, remember when they stole all the security footage for the Pentagon plane from every bodega and outside camera in the city so they knew its flight path, saw it 1,000 times, whole flight trajectory? (Then hid it all and destroyed it)
Yeah, good times. Oh…apropos to nothing. Just nostalgic today.
BTW, the Lenz was a good motor per wiki page, it uses a “Hot Bulb” to burn any fuel under sub-diesel compression. Here’s one of those great lessons: it works great for that, great for being simple, cheap for being built, works fine, and burns bad, or any fuel at an early point when we didn’t know how pure it would regularly be.
However, these advantages make it less efficient to run. So the low initial does not overcome the 100-year hourly efficiency of being % more costly. And that’s with decades of “low” gas prices. (See gas vs silver price over time, unchanged: 1 silver dime)
You see this all over the Internets right now, “This tea candle will heat your whole house!!!” “Can I turn this air compressor into a working gas engine?” “Did you know you can sharpen a wet noodle into a bowie knife?” (okay, made up the last one, I think they have one for paper though.) Point is the same: you CAN do that. It WILL work. But like buying Chineseum goods, it will work once, for about 10 minutes, for your 10 hours’ work to create it. That is, there’s a reason we don’t do it, it’s not cost-efficient. So Yes, but NO. No, you can NOT do that. For more than 10 seconds. CAN I turn my car into a rocket, with the engine of a drag car? Yes, but for only ONE 1/4 mile run. Then disassemble and re-do the engine with every trip to work.
Aaaaaand? And same with windmills, solar farms, just slightly longer, ’til hailstorm.
Aaaaaaad? And the same with the OTHER direction: all modern cars are infinite efficient, so they are constantly broken, and can ONLY have white-room factory, original Space Shuttle parts to fix them. You can’t even get the sensor for 4 tires to go off, ever, much less all the other sensors, and at $2k a pop. Some state now takes a MONTH to even INSPECT a normal-age car, as the emissions sensors go of, no one can tell why or which one, even as you’re willing to put in a MAF, or O2 sensor, but “Computer always wrong” so it won’t tell you any useful info, and there are 20 of them each at $100. You want to just change 19 good sensors for amusement?
ULTIMATE efficiency = ZERO practicality. Lenz was the other end of that: Very High Practicality but = Low Efficiency. And was not cost-effective thereof.
If you want to follow, Russian (Soviet) goods are the same for 100 years: expecting to be cut off, they engineered to use castor oil, which is less-good, therefore, every machine has larger, slower, tougher bearings. Millions and millions, turns out we never did that so no reason. Total “Loss”. They are “better” engineered, but for a more primitive repair, tougher, but LESS efficient. And so their equipment today with 777 guns that do NOT need their barrel replaced after every shot like ours do. Their Ural motorcycle, trucks, etc.
Which way do you want to pick? There’s a cost both ways. We’ve always picked “Space Shuttle or else dead” since 1960, but the real problem is we’ve FORGOTTEN that’s a conscious active choice. Internet is now home-shop people milling up new ideas that are back-engineering the gap.
Speaking of, $12,000 new Toyota pickup:
Yup, available everywhere but the US. Thanks, government. Destroying all poor people, one decision at a time.
Why would we want fuel-efficient trucks when we could have 20-foot 300hp land barges? A: Government wants it that way. …Or they’ll shoot you.
Those Americans sure iz stupid! Why do they drive such big vehicles? A: Governemnt says so. …Or they’ll shoot you.
Truth … Death of secrets … control the truth … tell lies … fabrication/deep fake/fiction.

DOGE’s two chief objectives: slashing spending and reducing regulations.“There’s basically two big parts to it,” Andreessen explained. “One is they’re going to do a top-to-bottom review of government spending, and they’re going to cut as much cost as they possibly can.
They have a whole theory and strategy on that.”
“In conjunction with that and related to it, they’re going to do the same thing for regulations,” the billionaire continued.
“They’re going to do a top-to-bottom review of the regulatory—what they call the regulatory state or the administrative state.”

DOGE appointee Elon Musk congratulated Argentina’s president when news of the budget surplus broke. Unfortunately, America is too far in the hole to recover by slashing programs or cutting government.
It would be a massive step forward but our deficit has been permitted to run wild for too long to be tamed.

Trump argued that “Europe” should play the main role in monitoring a ceasefire, (in Ukraine), and that no US troops would be involved.
The hypothetical peacekeeping or monitoring mission in Ukraine would not be under NATO command but would involve troops from member countries of the US-led bloc, according to the unnamed officials, who admitted this was something they were not sure Russia would accept.
It was likewise unclear whether Washington’s European allies would be able to spare the soldiers or have the political support at home for such a mission.

Trump said he is “open to anything.”
“When you look at some of the problems, when you look at what’s going on with disease and sickness in our country, something’s wrong,” Trump said.
“I think somebody has to find out.
If you go back 25 years ago, you had very little autism.
Now you have it.”
CDC information shows that about one in 36 American children today has an autism diagnosis, compared to one in 150 in the year 2000.
Fighting chronic disease, improving children’s health, and addressing corporate influence on government agencies were vital parts of Kennedy’s campaign platform when he ran for president as a Democrat and then as an independent.

• The US and Israel Destroyed Syria and Called it Peace (Jeffrey Sachs)
American interference, at the behest of Netanyahu’s far-right Israel, has left the Middle East in ruins, with over a million dead and open wars raging in Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, and with Iran on the brink of a nuclear arsenal.

NATO has now confirmed the presence of North Korean troops in Russia.While rumoured to have been there for some months, there is growing evidence that up to 10,000 soldiers, accompanied by senior staff – including three generals, have travelled from North Korea to the Russian-held part of Kursk and will soon see combat operations.
