I think Wokeism started off with good ideas as a progressive ideology.  It was well intentioned, as were the people that got onboard with it. It aspired to combat all forms of discrimination. But I think (just my opinion) that Jewish concerns have been sidelined because there is a “cultural zeitgeist” (my term) that views Jews as part of the priv…[Read more]

Thanks Reg!

Jake,

Wrong thread, but the right answer.

Identitarianism we see on the Right was dying until the Left started propagating it’s own version of Identitarianism, which is what “Wokeism” is. They both share Antisemitism as a common denominator.

Robert,

Actually, no, I still don’t think white guys really know what it like to be a black guy with all the racism around. That was the idea of being ‘woke’. To have empathy at least. Guess what? It worked. Gen Z and later IS woke. When my racists-as-fuck boomers and gen x cohorts are all dead; it is gonna be very different.

And so now boome…

I agree, after wokeness hit us, everything is better in many respects.  People feel more included and there is less unki…[Read more]

Robert,

I’ll say one thing about “woke”. Before it went all wrong on HAMAS, it did shine a light on the millions of racist roaches hiding in dark places. And many of the assumptions even liberals held in their heads. Old movies started making me cringe. I questioned how my life experience was so different from so many…

France has done a good job with their small nuke plants plus solar/wind/hydro. They only use fossil fuel for 6% of their electricity and are net exporters. They have to do tons of repairs and maintenance of their reactors. Stress fractures of the cooling systems are always happening.

I swear I don’t trust Americans with dangerous tech anymore.…[Read more]

Reg and Robert,

I’m not an engineer myself, but I know from having an automobile inverter that inverters require cooling to function properly. This, in turn requires electric motors either to run fans and/or compress and pump coolant for air conditioning systems. This both detours power away from DC systems and means more moving parts at the…[Read more]

Thanks Robert….I am not very knowledgeable about this area but I did discuss it last week with a engineer, recently returning from this project with a lot of cash!! 🙂

I agree Reg, a bank of capacitors or rechargeable batteries could supply synthetic inertia you speak of, so it’s probably just a cost thing. It’s not like carbon-based power generation is immune to failures. The big power outages in Texas a few years ago were due to cold weather and widespread failures in the natural gas infrastructure, which is…[Read more]

While I am not an electrical engineer, I had a discussion with one recently. Yes, traditional AC power from big turbines have a reserve of kinetic energy from the rotation of their turbines. Their spinning mass can resist any sudden frequency changes for a short time and this gives the grid inertia that stabilizes the frequency and gives control…[Read more]

Say it ain’t so, Greta!!! The Spain/Portugal outage was caused by going 100% renewable energy?

Woke?

Aware instead of oblivious, uncaring and lascivious. Cartoons and old movies are filled with wanton violence, shitshow stereotypes, bigotry? The tenor of history? Classisim. Racism and how its systemic. Misogyny. Group-think. How every good cause is coopted by pseudo intellectuals and nefarious groups and converted into a fucking stinking…[Read more]

Pope Bob, being a Catholic and with his degree in math, has SIN nailed down. Not sure what he is like with COS and TAN though.
