A Simple Way to Save Electricity in Buildings. Allow Windows TO OPEN so that Outside Air Can Freely Blow In... Allow Humans to Control the Thermostat. #Activist #Ecology #Environment

About Half the Time, the Weather Outside is Fine... No Need to Run an Air conditioner OR a Heater... Just Leave those Machines OFF, Using Zero Energy. Just Open a Window and Enjoy the Fresh Air...

In Modern Office Buildings The Windows Do Not Open and The Thermostat is Set by OSHA Regulation.

I worked for Years in an Office Where the Thermostat was Locked inside a Box to Prevent Employees from Changing the Temperature. OFTEN The Setting was WRONG and People took Action to Correct it.

On Days that It was Too Cold... and The Air Conditioner was Blowing Cold Air... People Turned on SPACE HEATERS under their desks... REALLY! This Situation caused Extremely Large Energy Bills... We Were Using Power to Heat AND Cool The Air at the same time... CRAZY! On Days that it was Too Hot and the Heater was Blowing... We Ran Small Electric Fans that blew on us as we were sitting at our computers... We Were Using Power to Heat AND Cool The Air at the same time... CRAZY!

and... We Found that The Plastic Box Around the Thermostat Could be Defeated Using a Fingernail File... Look at YOUR Thermostat in YOUR Office... so we changed the temperature AND NEVER TOLD THE BOSS... "It's Magic! I Have NO IDEA How The Thermostat Changed... " and It's a Classic Example of a MAN designing a Machine and TOTALLY FORGETTING THAT A COMMON TOOL could defeat the Machine... Because Only a WOMAN has a Fingernail File in her Purse... HA HA!

Adobe Houses are Very Energy Efficient and Quiet. Thick Mud Walls stay Cool in the Summer, Warm in the Winter. AND THEY RESIST FOREST FIRES...

When we rebuild Paradise and Santa Rosa, California it might be an Opportunity to Use Smart Design Ideas. I remember going inside the Mission Santa Clara on a Hot Summer Day... It was Cool... and Dark... Stained Glass Windows...

Built over 200 years ago, it has withstood Earthquakes. Especially 1906 San Francisco and Oakland During the World Series Baseball Game...

Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants and Distributed Using the Grid. WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... POWER LINES CAUSE FOREST FIRES.

Nothing NEW Needs to Be Invented... We Ought to Simply Replace the Millions of Old Style Street Lights... With Solar Cells and LED Lamps... The Concept of Generating Power in One Central Location and Distributing it to the User is Quite Wasteful... Some Electricity JUST VANISHES over the Long Distance... and DANGEROUS because the Wires Start Forest Fires... PG&E Power Company Just Burned the Entire Town Of Paradise, CA... and It Caused the Company to Go Bankrupt. Distributing Power From a Central Generator is an Obsolete Idea. What if Every House had Solar Panels on the Roof That Provided Enough Electricity to UNPLUG FROM THE GRID...

Commercial Solar LED Street Lighting: THERE ARE MANY MANUFACTURERS... HERE IS ONE...

Lighting for Streets and Roadways Provided by Sustainable Solar Power... SEPCO’s solar powered street lighting systems are an efficient means to provide lighting without the need for standard utility power. Every system provides cost savings by eliminating the need to trench standard electric wires for installation and providing no electric bill for the life of the system. Solar street lights have been installed on highways, freeways, neighborhood streets, rural roads, etc. and provide security, sustainability and an overall green image.

I did The Harmonic Convergence 2020 Last Night at 9 PM and Really Enjoyed the Sunset and the Emergence of the Constellation of The Big Dipper...

No Aliens BUT... Maybe Tonight... 7/14/2020 Interesting Analog Synthesizer Sounds... and Bells... Playing in the Background of this video... That reminds me of a Band I Played in during the 1980s... We Had a Random assembly of Synthesizer Players and Guitarists assemble in a friends basement... with a LASER Lightshow... and we made... Cosmic Noises until the sun came up... really got into a Fine Trance...

How to Disrupt the Military Industrial Complex. A Step by Step Guide to the Violet Overgrow of the US Government. - by gvan42

First Realize that: We Waste a Lot of Engineering Talent Designing Better Weapons. Those Draftsmen, Designers and Engineers COULD BE Doing Something Useful With Their Life BUT, Sadly, They Work for LaughHead, Raytheon, Dow and DuPont...

There ARE Meetings where Employees Decide WHICH CONTRACTS TO BID ON. We Simply Started Bidding on Civilian Projects. https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2019/09/how-to-disrupt-military-industrial.html

How can you share the Apples equally between the people using only one knife cut?

You murder one of the people and then the remaining two people get an entire apple to themselves...

An alternative is to line up the apples so that you cut 1/3 of an apple off of each them... one person can eat the two smaller pieces and the other two people will eat the larger pieces...

Homer Simpson climbs a mountain to meet the president of Kwik-E-Mart...

This iconic event happens in "Homer and Apu," Season 5, Episode 13 of The Simpsons.

When Apu is fired and replaced by actor James Woods, he and Homer travel to the Himalayas to meet the Kwik-E-Mart CEO, who lives in a mountaintop monastery.

The Encounter at the Top

After [Homer] and [Apu] climb the mountain to reach the Kwik-E-Mart Central Office, they are granted an audience with the CEO, an enlightened guru who offers to answer just three questions.

Rather than letting [Apu] ask about his job, [Homer] wastes all three questions in typical fashion:

Homer: "Are you really the head of the Kwik-E-Mart?"

CEO: "Yes."

Homer: "Really?"

CEO: "Yes."

Homer: "You?"

CEO: "Yes."

With his questions exhausted, the CEO casually sips his [Squishee], tells them his advice has been enlightening, and dismisses them with his trademark phrase: "Thank you, come again."

The Earth!

"If the cosmos were suddenly frozen, and all movement ceased, a survey of its structure would not reveal a random distribution of parts. Simple geometrical patterns, for example, would be found in profusion — from the spirals of galaxies to the hexagonal shapes of snow crystals. Set the clockwork going, and its parts move rhythmically to laws that often can be expressed by equation of surprising simplicity. And there is no logical or a priori reason why these things should be so."

— Martin Gardner, "Order and Surprise," 1985

(actually, There is No Need for Cessation of Motion... Just Open Your Eyes and SEE!)

French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher Sophie Germain (1776-1831). She obtained education from books in her father's library and from correspondence with mathematicians like Lagrange, Legendre, and Gauss, despite early resistance from her parents and challenges posed by society. She was a leader in the field of elasticity theory and received the top honor from the Paris Academy of Sciences for her article on the subject. Her work on Fermat's Last Theorem laid the groundwork for mathematicians to continue studying it for hundreds of years. She was unable to pursue a profession in mathematics due to discrimination against her sex, yet she worked independently all of her life. Before her death, Gauss had recommended that she be awarded an honorary degree, but that never occurred.

Do you think there will ever be a machine that will think like human beings and be more intelligent than human beings?

What is your take on this?

Let us read Richard Feynman’s Answer:

"First of all, do they think like human beings? I would say no and I’ll explain in a minute why I say no.
Second, for "whether they be more intelligent than human beings" to be a question, intelligence must first be defined. If you were to ask me are they better chess players than any human being? Possibly can be, yes, "I'll get you, some day".

-Richard Feynman"
