Thanks for asking. Well, it has only been day 3 with the upgrade, but all is going very well.
Now I have to say, I am not a power user. I’m in my mid 70’s and use the PC mostly for
emails and browsing.
The biggest change I noticed are the Menu and the System Report / System Information.
But I’ve enjoyed reading about the dark mode / shades of the screen as well as the color
blue for clothing.
I prefer dark mode because I find it easier on my eyes.
My favorite color is blue, but don’t own many blue clothes and my shirts and pants are never ironed.
** Weather report form Maryland, USA **
Today high temp to be 22 F ( -5 C ).
8 inches ( 20 cm ) of snow on the ground with a covering of ice.
Car trapped in even deeper snow because of the plowing on the street.
Not left the house since Saturday.
Always enjoy Howard’s take on the issues. Everything but the snow–great golfing weather in Oregon this week, still warm enough for shorts. Unironed shorts, of course.
Sounds a bit like Iowa. We are past our snow but are now in the deep freeze. Today’s high is 19 F and that’s the highest it’s been in a couple weeks it seems like. I was just reading the top 10 lengths of time below zero in Iowa.
In January 1970 there was a 5.5 day period where the temperature never got about zero F. Then it took a week off before, once again, spending 5 more days below zero.
Question. Why Is it normal for the dead male to wear a suit (dont know about female never looked) when they put them in the coffin and why wood of high quality ?
Can I ask to wear my swimsuit and goggles when I go ?
Will I be cold, unlikely as I am going to a warmer place, down not up.
I live near Washington, DC. We are in the same arctic blast. We are schedule to have 10 days of 32 F ( 0 C ) or below for 10 days in a row. Only the 5th time this has happen since records keeping begin back in 1872. Most of the days have been in the low to mid 20’s ( -4 C ) so far.
At this time clothes and weather seems to be more interesting.
Mint is too stable and maybe a bit boring to be interesting. I can remember only 1 major problem in the past 6 or 7 years and that may have been my fault.
I cant imagine that. Todays max here 38 deg C. Same coming for next few days.
Cant run a computer without air conditioning… but it grows great tomatoes and zucchini.
I had never come across his name or idea. But yes if that had worked….. superb idea . No doubt the government would have found a way to tax it and gain money from it.
If you check the internet as the expert for everything has vidéos ready to watch, on création of power from nothing. Perpétuel énergy is so popular.
I had a client who used to go away on very expensive courses on Prahlad (breatharians) where you gain energy or feed from the air you breath rather than food. Some will buy any idea.
“Science today is locked into paradigms. Every avenue is blocked by beliefs that are wrong and if you try to get anything published by a journal today, you will run up against a paradigm and the editors will turn it down.” (Sir Fred Hoyle …
It is almost impossible to publish an idea that goes against establishment thinking.
I had personal experience of that . I eventually succeeded but it took me 30 years and a lot of help from a colleague.
There was definitely prejudice from the powers that be in his time. He was relentlessly attacked by the mainstream energy brokers, his lab was destroyed in a burglary once, and he was even shot by unknown assailants to keep his work from progressing.
Not so much a mysterious crystal, but interesting circuitry that captured power from the atmosphere and converted it to a usable power source. His device was capable of producing up to 50KW of usable electrical power and he demonstrated it several times, setting the demonstration up in remote areas away from the power grid so he wouldn’t be accused of sapping power from the grid to power his radiant energy (his term) device. Nikola Tesla was another genius considered in his day to be a mad scientist, but much of his work has come into a much better light in more recent times.
Thats how most things are inventer or discovered and not always in big expensive labs
simple things like stainless steel. cats eyes (road markings) the list is endless. At one stage energy electrical from solar panels or turbo wind farms or wave movement in the sea could be considered the same
The classic example is Fred Hoyle’s assertion that , contradicting Darwin, life could not have evolved on earth , because the earth is not old enough. He could not get it published so he wrote a book … actually several books
It led to a whole new field called Astrobiology..
Unfortunately the scientific peer review system makes it difficult for new ideas to be aired.
