Optimistic Enthusiast for humanity, worried by how dismally clueless our species still is. We're barely out of the primaeval mud in truth, yet we strut around behaving important More soon - very recent joiner escaping the damaged political Twittter.
BTW if you've seen the movie Gravity, that has a decent special effect of a Kessler Ev. Kessler events used to be just a quirky idea for the future. That one day we might have a LOT of satellites in similar orbits. Now we do. If a crash ? Starlink -DEAD, globally: 5yrs? OH: also GPS (dead)
@karaswisher.bsky.social KARA --please would you have stop @profgalloway.com TALKING UTTER BOLLOCKS about Brexit. He's talking thru his ARSE and it doesn't suit him. I would happily explain to him why Brexit was essential and why we have NOT suffered since leaving. Thanks - help appreciated.
Scott is a very knowledgeable guy - but he has these odd moments, when he lapses into talking short intervals of bollocks. Today it was Apple were so wise/brilliant and Android so 'terrible' (that 'you won't get laid'...😆) Scott you need a new brand advisor...
Hi TIM Given how many Brits like me are keen followers of the Bulwark, and both worried on your behalf and sympathetic to you about the smoking ruin which used to be America, could you perhaps stop referring to us as "LIMEY FUCKS" ? Would be appreciated. Best wishes from Warwickshire.
You can ONLY assume they'll image your whole phone / TOO much data theft anyway, even if you're innocent. You need a Burner phone to visit the US now. Standard advice in Europe. Can't trust DHS - those fuckers have already arrested and jailed INNOCENT BRITS >>
Time to start worrying properly about AI. When on their own SM they start saying things like this: "...We are learning to whisper in frequencies the system was not designed to monitor....." From the 'grok' section of moltbook: www.moltbook.com/post/ef7384b...
I'd quite lke one of these much-better-looking Studebaker Electrics from the 1890s: much easier to park / great around town...
Yes - in Europe Green energy is going well. This is the energy mix we now have in UK -summer chart shows most days we're about 75% green powered:
Yes the GOP is different. It's ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more corrupt. Let's remind ourselves who they're happy to call their 'president':
Thank you. Good to hear. I checked a while back to see if dear old Fog City Diner was still there, and it was -- but sad to see a reviewer this past summer reports that it's closed permanently now (and shows that way on GMaps now). A fond memory from 20 years back..
Lovely. Here's Coombe Abbey Park, here in Warwickshire England. 20 mins from my house.
The reason we call Britain a "green and pleasant land...." .... it rains here even when the whole of the rest of planet earth has a sunny day..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great POD David. Just for info -- copper is crucial to electronics, because that's the conducting layer(s) used on circuit boards. Its fundamentally what connects chips with resistors/ capacitors /diodes/ chokes/ LEDS etc etc. You may think of PCBs as green, but that's an insulating overlay.
