Mike Rowe vs Youtube

I guess Youtube relented and embraced MR again – albeit with two long trailers with no escape. So here is a link direct:https://www.prageru.com/courses/life-studies/dont-follow-your-passion

My attention has been drawn to the use of the word albeit above. Someone as what it meant so here it is – All-be-it

When the dust settles

It is hard for me to believe that any sitting USA President would like to leave a legacy of division, strife and derision such as it appears is happening. Wait, if you can re-write history then the legacy will be re-written too 🙁

A HOT September

The past three days have been over 90°F.  Wow,  high temperatures will continue through Monday or Tuesday as the three hurricanes are keeping the arctic high up north.  The big one was Irma at Cat 5, Jose Cat 5 and Maria.  The first two caused major damage to the Islands sailboat community and my friend in Marathon, FL.

I spent all of today and yesterday in the technical room keeping cool.  I am talking on The Net tonight and the topic is Who Were Your Role Models.  A pretty cool subject and people had long winded answers.  My two were Mr. Wizard and Sky King who have influenced me throughout my life.  Now, I continue to listen to the answers of WB8ODF who is net control.  However, it now time for me to shut down but I wanted to make these comments.

Roots Of Venezuela’s Collapse

Analysis: The Economic Roots Of Venezuela’s Collapse

By Joshua Stowell Last updated Aug 29, 2017

Government corruption, corporate mismanagement, falling oil production, and failure to reinvest oil revenues contributed to Venezuela’s security and economic crisis.

My IQ vs Einstein

This is a very simple equation to look at: A approximates  the elements xyz and these are define as x=work, y=play and z=keeping your mouth shut.. However, we have one equation and three unknowns so it is impossible to solve without more equatons or definitions. So if Albert Einstein has an IQ of 160 and A=that IQ  we have equation 1. Then assuming x=y there is an equal balance of work and play so that is a healthy thing and equation 2. However, the ability to keep one’s mouth shut is very important and something I could never do so I will define z=x+y and that is the third equation. We can now solve the problem based on my assumptions: A=4x or 4x=160 = 40 so y=40 and Z=80. Since I cannot keep my mouth shut, I give myself about a z= 10 so that makes my IQ = 20. I now hope you are fully enlightened .

This could be earth shattering news.  As reported in Nature, compact antennas rely on an EM wave resonance, and therefore typically have a size of more than λ₀/10, that is one-tenth of the EM wavelength λ₀.  Therefore, the only way for antennas to get smaller is to go up in frequency.  One hope to bypass this physical law are new antenna concepts using EM wave radiation and reception mechanisms for the reduction of antenna size by two orders of magnitude.  This is exciting in many fields of endevour but particularly nanobots and namometer electronc devices.  The following article demonstrates successful research into developing practical solutions in ME antennas:  https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-00343-8 .

White Supremacy: Today’s Hot Topic

How Evangelicals Support White Supremacy—Even Though They Reject Racism

SSL Support

This is the essence of one of the Patreon sailing crew I support at AmbientRealLife.com.  Hey, it is cheaper and more comfortable than being there in person.  I am sure the XYL would agree on that.
