Tesla schools Jaguar

The Model X is 23% more efficient than the I Pace.  Even taking into account the purchase price its still an impressive victory for Tesla over a so called Tesla killer.

JBL neo classic Speakers

In my Ute JBL and Macintosh were the pinnacle of audio. IMHO most people could not tell the difference after the $1000 barrier of acquisition has been crossed.  I include myself and I would probably buy these.

They Live

They Live is the best B movie ever. It used to be science fiction but now its reality.

H/T Sailing Anarchy

Save the Tigers

If we cant save the tigers what hope is there for ourselves?

Printing the future

Titomic has taken an old Soviet process and supersized it. Most metal 3D printers have to work in a vacuum. Their printer smashes powder at supersonic speeds.  Free of a vacuum chamber the sky is the limit. For example the whole hull of a large ship could be given a titanium coat. The mechanical properties may limit aerospace manufacturing for now. The story behind the headlines is it can use Titanium sands raw.

Life Burning Wartime

To say we are at war
is to say something
has changed
we have always
been at war
and it sucks
but that is
the reality 
of humans
try playing
civilization
a thousand
times
and exceeding
Dan Quayle
certification

It does not
have to be
this way
no matter commusit
capitalist
socialist
or any other
economic system
the secret to 
stably is wealth
distribution
the Guy from Ikea
who lived in socialist
Sweden
did not mind taxes

Bottom line
make everyone
happy and it do
not take a lot
and then
you can safely

Classic Yes Current ReMix

Yes along with Emerson Lake and Palmer 
was the sharp end of the Progressive Rock era
if Beethoven had done acid
and had a synthesizer 
well you get it
its a pity
this genre has
completely disappeared

Another must listen Jon Anderson and allegedly an unaccredited Vangalis

Dyson Building an Electric Car

Dyson turned the simple vacuum cleaner
into an engineering tour d force
and in Singapore they are
going to tackle the 
electric car
I am sure it
wont suck

Fortuitous turns of events

Erodgan has a name out of Lord of the Rings, and is a character out of Game of Thrones. The disappearance of the Saudi insider Kashoggi has been manna from Heaven for him. It appears someone fell into a trap. Who would set such a device? It appears to have caught the Trump and Saud family. Today Erodgan made his long announced naked truth reveal. Whats interesting is no fact present. Where is the tape Frodo?


With the midterms days away a column of immigrants advances slowly towards the southern border of America. What a perfect assembly of bogymen for the Republicans. I am sure its just a coincidence and the mysterious benefactors of the border crossers  are good  Samaritans.

Future Material

First we have a formally classified Magnesium alloy thats a good compromise between carbon fiber and aluminum. You can 3D print it.


Graphene may be the most exciting material since plastic. It seems to make everything better. This concrete application is just the beginning.

SWATH Mono Hull

I have long kicked around the idea of a better mono hull sailboat. Well the SWATH monhull above may be the greatest idea ever. The SWATH buoyancy amas would be connected to the hull with some kind of foil lift. Anybody with real deep pockets want to join my revolution?

Industrial food I can consume

Eggs, love them, need them, agree with this kind of production.

New Home Construction Best Practices

62% of household energy is used for heating. The code for Canada should be air source heat pumps and radiant heating. I would also ban fiberglass insulation, 100% vinyl windows and asphalt shingles.

The Kashoggi Identity

Like a character out of a Bourne 
novel a so called journalist
is hacked to bits
inside the foreign embassy
and the world
asks a collective
why and who
dunnit

The belated
oft changed
official story is
that Kashoggi
got into a fist fight
at the embassy
and the choke hold
of deescalation
terminated him
and we still have
not heard what 
officially happened to 
the body

This story will work
well for the people
who believe the official
tale of 911 and the 
Kennedy assassination
the difference is
those story lines
were much better
crafted and had
plausible deniability
built in

One of my favorite
moments in history
is the publishing of 
Gulliver's Travels
a book that
set much of the world
free

The consequences
of Kashoggi
will have a bigger
butterfly effect
unlikely to be
better

Politically Correct Literature

Many classics are being banned

from the schoolhouse

and IMHO old white

privileged male

opinion its a

great loss

Many of the books

I was forced to read

in school did me 

a lot of good

and number one

was 

To Kill a Mockingbird

maybe they could just

change the bad word

to N word

If there is any book

that has done more

to combat racism

by whites against blacks

than to Kill a Mocking Bird

let me know

I have no idea what

number two would

bee

Lord of the Flies is

another under attack

and once again

its a very fine

book explaining

the animal nature

of humans and how

easily we can

succumb to it

and be manipulated

by it

How long before

1984 is on the list

because its no longer

non fiction

Wireless Switches

H/T Multihull Design Blog

This is a simple use of technology that 
blows me and should blow you
away

Chances are half the wiring
in your house is just switches
and copper dont grow

Less holes in the building
envelope and
hundreds of expensive
labour hours saved

Home run

A new contender for the ultimate floating RV

Its a leap into the future. Solar powered, 22 Knot speed and somewhat Star Trekian SWATH.

Non Playable Character

The right has seized this meme to describe the left but I think it fits many on both sides. In any event it made me LOL.

Not a hard man but repeated hard falls

I took a very hard fall
today on my bike
I was trying to beat
a light in a construction
zone and hit
something that
threw me in the
air doing 20 K

I was wearing protective
gloves and a coat with
nylon denier on the elbow
and my knees where somewhat
protected

Long and short
I survived
my  6th
hard fall
without
need for a hospital
and this
one was probably
the second worse

That does not
include the 3 
auto incidents
in which I walked
away but
the car totally died

Now I am watching
the show manifest
which is like LOST
without a plane
crash
I am not lying
or I would be dying
I have escaped
death
the purpose
remains
a mystery
the only thing
I know
is that
I am not
an 
Angel

God Damm the Preacher Man

has do

Had Trump every done one thing
upon examination we would call
Christian in his life?

This preacher has CIA written
in the bible all over him
and yet the American Taliban
will love this photo
like Jesus bleeding on the
cross.

Huawie and the Five Eyes

Northern Telecom was
the jewel in the crown
for Canada
then Cisco came
along

For US companies
Huawie is a mortal threat
and the US goverment
has been pushing back hard

I think they are practicing
projection because they
know the cell phone
is a spy in your pocket
and Social Credit is the
future construct of
civilization

My point is 
no matter who
supplies the tech
it will not be working
for you
so why not
just buy
the best one?

The five eyes
is a window
from which to
view the real 
world
governments dont
spy on their citizens
they get other
reliable governments
to do it

Bollinger Motors

I first posted 14 months ago about this highly desirable 
neo Land Rover Series one.

Now they are developing a 4 door version.  A product for
customers has been pushed back to 2020. Still the wait seems
worth it. I just wondered why they ditched the air bag?

Milo Mindbender Rules

Milo Mindbender
was the metaphor 
for the Industrial Military Complex
now despite his efforts
the good guys won

If a conventional war
was fought today
there might be a
very different outcome

In Summary the Milo Mindbenders
masters of the USA
have squandered quite
a pile of cash on
weapons and systems
that are not world class

Maybe it has always been
so obvious
and Trump has just made
it clear
American Foreign Policy 
today is nothing more
than a Black Friday
in reverse
The company forcing you
to buy by creating an environment
that is toxic

Into an area accustomed to 
the gloved fist
it will be interesting to see
how far bare knuckles
can stretch the reality 
distortion field

Lots of funky Shise now on display

For generations
the funky
was kept
on the down
low so the 
people of
democracy
would know
where to vote

Today all the
toilets are overflowing
and the shise
masters
are in total
panic
mode

Cause the truth
it truth no more
its an option
a construct
of the top dollar
after several
focus groups
have decided
this is the message
we love you
and care so 
much 
dont worry
baby I will
always pay
child support

The shitstorm
is lathing strength
like a small squall
just off Afieca
but there is 
no dodging the Hurricane
thats cumming
to reveal
the truth

The biggest lie I swallow daily

Its that Jesus loves me
the second biggest
is that Saudi Arabia
is somehow our
allay in building
a better world

Cognitive Dissonance
waves happening now.

WTF are the Russkies going to do?

The big Russian threat
has a lot of smoke
but the fire
is cold

What are the Russkies
doing why where and when
the answer my friend
is not blowing in the wind
the answer
is nothing

J-15 flying shark to heavy for carrier use

As reported in the Asia Times , and referenced by Business Insider, the J-31 is a 17.5 ton heavy jet, much heavier than F/A-18E/F Super Hornet’s 14.6 tons (47 tons)

The F35 C made for aircraft carrier is 60 tons!

Russian Conventional Weapon Superiority

We all should remember the Sherman tank 
slaughtered the mighty Panzer
not threw technical superiority
but sheer numbers

That being said
whether is be the lowly
rifle
or the mighty
S500
on a level field
the USA is
playing downhill.

Five things you would like to know but no one is

The fake Microsoft call center has been busted, Yeah!


Is the Boeing 787 the commercial equivalent of the F35. The engines continue to fall apart. Interestingly the new 777x will have a traditional aluminum body.  If I was having my own airliner it would be a 777 variation.

Big Media fails to crush the internet in Canada. But for sure they will keep trying. No wonder they always push the Conservative viewpoint.Ottawa we have a problem. Not the ruling, the fact is that its not covered by the MSM. Inexcusable.

Ratface skates again. In the pre season Max Domi was suspended five games for a very similar mugging. The difference Max only layed one punch. Why do Boston players get so many free shots?

Tesla is dominating the US new passenger car market. The days of the ICE engine are numbered.

Old Bullet VS New Bullet

The old one still looks better to me

IF I where Ford the old one would be reborn as an electric car as is. Jaguar has done this with the e class to some extent.

Daddy dont care and mommie lies

The internet is a poison pill
its a honey trap
its the end of freedom
because people
like to be entertained
and lead
like the march
to march
on marching
when there is
no place left
to march
people
will still
line up
to see
nothing

YMCA Managed Trade Solution for Dairy

Lets spend the billions in compensation wisely
teach the cows to work for the farmers
with robots
make energy, milk and profits

Our agricultural policy

ethical food
in the world

Zombies Dont Surf

Zombies dont surf

Rhizomatica has a suitcase

War Criminal Politics

It starts with a hard
issue that can
be painted black or
white
when really
its a rainbow
reflecting society
Mess up the colors
and you get Rwanda
or Sarajevo

The conservatives
are playing pure detective
with the fate of convicted
criminals of the worst sort
coincidentally both are female

The justice system is the
foundation of society
do not fuck with Judges
Juries or executioners of Justice

Its just like education
parents do not know
best

Just a flesh wound in an existential fight for sovereignty

In a David vs Goliath battle

with the loyal opposition praying

for defeat

Justin Trudeau

played a terrible hand

extraordinarily well

and emerged with only

a couple of flesh wounds

The Dairy concessions

were nothing new

we had already agreed to the

same terms with Europe

Patent Protection was a complete

loss

but try fighting big Pharmacy

Great Job Justin
