We could solve the charging-time problem by sending the fully charged battery backwards in time to before it was plugged in? No engineering deadlines required. Why is the patent office always closed when I go there?

Naturally, you’d have to time your going back in time to coincide with U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) business hours.…[Read more]

The quantum batteries that upend the rules of charging.…..The important thing is that “bigger” means more coherently participating quantum units, not simply a physically larger battery. Adding more cells appears to reduce the charging time. But remember that nuclear fusion is still only 10 years away, since we began waiting for it 60 years…

Enco i never thought about the bicycle gender apartheid. I am not sure why. Usually i look junk up. Not this time. I may die never knowing why.

It’s not gender apartheid per se, since presumably it is mostly men who manufacture bicycles. It’s more lack of situational awareness by bicycle manufacturers and sales reps.

You may never ask…

Jake:

Stone age?

Agreed. We’ve bearly surpassed it. Jiggery-pokery on a bicycle spoke to me. It is my own shadow. It follows me wherever i go. Then suddenly, suddenly, suddenly and without warning it disappears. Just as suddenly it reappears and follows me dispensing jiggery-pokery ensconced in foppery.

So when i summoned courage to punch t…

Jake:

Sick and tired of your jiggery-pokery foppery.

Whose “jiggery-pokery foppery”? There’s so much to go around.

That man will punch your mouth loose. Loose.

And which man? The only ones punching mouths loose are the strongmen of MAGA. CRINK. and the OIC. And sadly, few in the West anymore has the stonage to punch back.

The European Court of Human Rights confirms ethical veganism is a protected philosophical belief in Europe.*

*Governments and legal systems still tend to conceptualize atheism and humanism merely as an absence of religion rather than positive philosophical convictions entitled to equal respect. Freedom of religion or belief doesn’t mean r…

Do we need God? Steven Pinker vs. Ross Douthat debate.

This video was slightly disturbing at first. There were a couple of moments where Ross Douthat was so still, it looked like he died and was propped up by his podium!

I was thinking Piers, Tucker, Candace, and Megan were going to have videos entitled: “Atheist Jewish Sorcerer Steven…[Read more]

Progressive Zack Polanski of the Green Party is now calling for state control of media in the wake of the Jason Arday story:

Fellow Unbelievers:

An even more interesting sidebar story to the Jason Arday story: Racist Eugenicist Nathan Covnas would never have got the attention he got if Jason Arday had not called the police on Times Higher Education Journalist Jack Groves for engaging in simple journalistic inquiry:

I was reported to police over the Arday case. I was…[Read more]

Jake:

I should quickly add that fortunately Nathan Covnas is also not a part of the chain of my treatment. His bedside manner would involve making people “go away.” And much to his own display of stupidity and ignorance, his own bedside manner in other hands would make him “go away.”

Higher Academia is at a truly interesting spot. The big…[Read more]

Jake:

So you are skeptical?

I reserve judgment. Obviously need repetition and consistency before it is a thing. Keep in mind again that the mind clearly plays a role in the placebo effect.

The consistency I rely upon is that no Physician has ever prescribed this treatment to me. If Drs. Mizrachi, Rosencrantz, and Rottum come with greater…[Read more]

Jake:

Check out this article. Sounds nuts to think that focusing on the pain may induce healing. Instinctively we want diversion or pain relief. But then again fooling the individual thinking they are getting the good stuff sometimes…

Jake:

I finally got to read the article. Though I’m a voracious fan of actual meat and dairy, I am also a fan of coconut milk in desserts, as well as Rice Dream™ and Silk™ Soy. I never got the “Soy-Boy” face because of it and everything else worked well going down afterwards. So I would have no problem with dairy products made from Arabidopsis…[Read more]
