April Fuels
Nothing lasts forever, particularly an old wooden deck. Unfortunately, that means a trip to the hardware store for some lumber, possibly some tools and some other necessary bits and bobs. I’m getting too old for this 💩…
Seriously, Just Stop Voting For Democrats
Here cometh April again, and as far as I can see the world hath more fools in it than ever. ~Charles Lamb
Yeah, and most of them are on the Blue Team. I mean, jeez, how many bad ideas can you cram into a single year?
The Senile One continues to double down on his war on fossil fuels despite the fact that there aren’t enough electric cars in production to fill the demand. Even if there were, the grid isn’t ready to handle all of that charging.
Not to mention that the technology just isn’t ready yet. Battery degradation is a bit too quick for most people’s incomes. How many of our friendly neighborhood mechanics even know how to work on an electric car?
It’s bad enough that Admin46 has starved us of fuel supplies in the interest of saving the planet, but they don’t stop all the muckety-mucks like Lurch from flying their personal damned jets all over the world for this Green hoax.
Even so, Kelly and I have to run to the Home Depot for some supplies to try to repair a 22 year old deck. Do I want to do all that running around?
No, not so much.
Do I want to have to tear my deck apart and build it back better?
No, not so much.
Even so, I’ve got a better chance of building back better than Creepy Joe does.
I’ve got a plan and an idea of the end product. The Democraps just want to break everything and sow chaos so they can hold onto power that they don’t deserve to have in the first place.
God, it just steams me how stupid this all is.
It seems a foregone conclusion that they’re going to get creamed in November (and rightly so), so it seems as if they’re on some kind of scorched earth campaign.
It seems like that to sane people. Unfortunately, that’s their damned platform.
We can’t be rid of them quickly enough…
Mr. Fusion?
Mr Fusion – Back to the Future II
Back in the optimistic 80s, a fun trilogy of sci-fi films titled Back to the Future not only promised us flying cars, but Mr. Fusion, too.
About that same time, I got a book about nanotechnology. Between that and the collapse of the USSR, it certainly seemed as if the future had finally arrived.
Well, not so fast. We had to shift into neutral and coast through the Y2K debacle.
Okay, so we got through that and were facing a new millennium with a bit less optimism than we had enjoyed in the 80s, but things still looked pretty rosy overall.
Unfortunately, the 7th Century reached out and demanded our attention.
Forget the future, we have to go curb stomp the Middle East.
Well, two decades along, we abruptly cut and run from that monumental effort.
Why?
Because the current administration is as corrupt and ideologically deranged as it is inept.
What they’re up to is despicably evil, so thank God they’re mindblowingly incompetent.
If these idiots could actually enact a plan coherently, we’d really be fucked. Fortunately, we’re only mostly fucked.
Despite the willing collusion of Big Tech, the permanent bureaucracy, academia and the Lamestream Media, the private sector continues trudging along.
Some of us actually want to produce something worthwhile.
Amid all the dignity, equity and whatever-the-fuck else the Demonrats are yapping about at any given moment, people who remember how to make stuff and do productive things continue innovating.
As the presenter in the next video notes, fusion has consistently been 30 years away. Whenever “now” is, fusion was 30 years on the horizon.
Not anymore. It’s looking like we’re maybe 5 years away from a decent proof of concept.
Once these technologies are proven out, we’ll still need to upgrade all the rest of the infrastructure.
At least we’ll finally have fusion units. Who knows, with incremental improvements, we might even have personal fusion generators one day.
Nah…
Creepy Joe and his cackling VP will find some way to fuck it up.
Exploring Why This Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough Matters
❄️ More Snowflaking ❄️
Every avalanche begins with the movement of a single snowflake, and my hope is to move a snowflake. ~Thomas Frey
As predicted, I had a fair amount of time at the county courthouse in which I could work on Steps 2 and 3 of the Snowflake Method.
I got through Step 2 and was working on elements of Step 3.
Then I got tired again.
Got through jury selection without being selected. Grabbed some groceries on the way home and promptly went back to bed.
The ideas are germinating and I’m getting to where I want to crack open a writing program and have at it.
My inclination is to stick with Scrivener, since it is so feature-rich.
Even so, I’m considering giving Atticus a try.
Decisions, decisions.
Oh well, I’ve got a deck to rebuild and God knows that’s going to suck the very life out of me for the rest of the weekend.
Blech…
That’s all for now. I hope you won’t be resorting to ad hoc carpentry this weekend. Those April showers will be looming throughout the project, no doubt.
