Don't think the Australians, nor the Californians, would agree that the world hasn't caught fire.

I recall a BBC article saying that Peter Thiel had a back door into Signal. The article didn't stay up long. Since that time, a few years ago (if not before), Signal has effectively been under government control.

No comments about current density yet. That'll be big news.

Are you telling us that Musk isn't even a good engineer? If so, I'm feeling a bit misinformed, really don't know why. He's been touted as generally brilliant but it looks more and more like he has not only feet of clay b

That has only been true for a few hundred years at most. Perhaps we could have avoided this outcome, and perhaps there's still a way to return to a sane life.

As I said, I'm baffled; I've been unable to conceive of a way forward towards our present goals without self-destruction. I'm really hoping for a non-technological solution, although I know that people's minds are hard t

I am autodidactic. Therefore I see libraries as a basic education need. It's not practical to have 100's of reference books and texts, but if I've got access to a good library I can juxtapose several references and texts in a

Beautiful books! A section of a library I used to visit used Bliss categorisation, which is just so conducive to discovery!

I worked on circuit boards mostly. One day I noticed a kind of buzzing in my guts, like an overloaded inductor. A couple of weeks later I noticed it again. The buzzing got louder and louder. I needed to stay in my job long enough to fulfill

There is also the idea that not only are we eternal beings, but we are all one being: "There is only ONE".

It seems likely but it also seems there's no evidence either way. Unless we can make a plan to deal with the unforeseeable, why bother to form an opinion? I'm leaning towards the "aliens exist" opinion, btw.

The disappearance of libraries, to leave us all dependent on our own resources and on the fragile information highways,looks like the beginning of the end of individuals gaining understanding of physical and other processes. When combined w

Don't know. Starting to think that all trade activity must result in ecological trouble, and that technology always leads to ecological trouble. This also applies to recycling because there's still no way to get the job done with

A fundamental difficulty with explaining spiritual matters is lack of a common referent. For reason of this lack it is necessary to use similes. The particular misinterpretations of any given individual cannot be anticipated, so it is best

Ohh. Just saw this. If you're still interested mail me. :)

I think category 6 is presently mooted, but category 17? That sounds like a major sunspot - could there be so violent a storm on Earth?

That's like asking what would happen if Harry Potter magic came true. Nobody could encompass even the obvious consequences with any length of description. The first to get that stuff into military hardware will rule the world.

I use the Buddhist metta bhavana meditation. Over 30 years I have developed an amazing spiritual life - I encourage you to meditate. You might discover that the world is not what it seems...

Not very comprehensive maps. Even with all the tools the modern world has at its disposal, there is no substitute for lots of time spent over a long period by an interested human being, collating information and contributing insights.

I use the 48gx. I find that if I select and copy numerical data into memory on my Android I can use the "paste stack" facility to get it into the (virtual) machine.

Yes. Emu48 is nothing but excellent. It's a downloadable emulator of a Hewlett Packard machine. It takes a little ingenuity to input/output data, but Hewlett Packard's calculator engineers probably made the best calculator po

You are planning suicide. It's that simple. You have nothing in common with the people who run drug cartels; it would be as safe to meet with grizzly bears.

Don't know exactly what model, and I can no longer answer your question since I sold it on, fast. I only had it a month and had a minor accident and a moderate accident. I'm not waiting for a serious accident.

I came off my Ninebot at about 15kph and sustained moderate injuries. I was lucky to keep my left pinky. Stand-up, zippy scooters are DANGEROUS!

This technique is probably very good, for those in a position to take advantage of it. If I discover a crowded mess in daily life I put round things together; square things together; long things together. Space appears.

Speaking truth has never been safe (NSFW!), but that's not necessarily the problem... and I can't myself believe in any universal solution for such complaints. Perhaps you're ready to sit down with someone who can actively li

Just concentrate on getting to Mars, Elon. If you can pull your head in and stop f'ing round with what doesn't concern you, we might even like you again.
