I'll give Chap1 a shot. PKD can be a headscratcher.

Derange the home stove, the Ford, or the range?

Either greed or religion has killed the most people before their time. One of them has to go.

Similar to my path, sounds like. Started when I noticed how much the acceptance of physics theories depended on POV. Already questioning Western religion/philosophy wholesale, Watts got me started looking at multiple Asian POVs, that brought me back to Jung, Gurdjieff, Polanyi and Bohm. There was no cure for any of that, so back to restart with slightly less naive realism. I am, whether or not I think, therefore.

"Any given man sees only a tiny portion of the total truth, and very often, in fact almost perpetually, he deliberately deceives himself about that precious little fragment as well. " — Philip K. Dick

I'd bet that 'lemmings' wouldn't work.

I specially liked the part where he collected $50k by clueing the affected companies.

Sabine is a very competent physicist. That's why her viewpoint - right or wrong - is well worth hearing. The fact that the Nobel went to a computer scientist instead says a lot about the state-of-the-art.

Sabine knows her shit. May she coax some physicists into getting back into experimenting... and away from Big Science funding.

Leave the poor things alone. They already don't kill each other all of the time.

"The change would force the companies to prioritize the government’s social and economic objectives over corporate profits."

That starts to sound good. What are those objectives?

Good thing is, your ham (amateur radio) license will not not require you to learn the morse code. To get into 2-meters and above VHF/UHF (handheld/repeater/packet), where most of this action would be happening, you'll pass a 30-question written test to show you know the rules. You can learn them from a book or join a class. You'd also be able to use voice on 10-meters (near the CB band)

You might find some people on CB doing this stuff ... why not? But the article was def about the ham scene.

I noticed in that video how Al Gore looked as he listened. Sagan died in 1996. Gore released his documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth', 18 years ago in 2006. I believe Sagan would not have been surprised at the film's reception, nor surprised by how little impact it has had on effective response to the threats it outlined. You can lead a horse to water....

If we are realistic enough to put the fight against further global warming on a wartime basis, then we can operate things on a wartime basis. Which means planning things so that everything is focussed on winning the war. For example gasoline rationing would encourage people to plan their use of gasoline for maximum efficiency. It means people can get only as much as they can justify.

Rationing was used in the US during WW2. To see what that meant, read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_States

I'd like to encourage the author of of this to leave the line- and paragraph- breaks in the source text. This is impossible to read as is.

The wonderful thing about burying CO2 is that nobody can tell you didn't. If it leaks out, nobody can tell it did. If you can get paid for it, that's the most wonderful thing.

CO2 is like nuclear plants in that way. When Rocky Flats had a big fire in their weapons plant, and plutonium fell all over the Denver suburbs, they just didn't tell anyone about it.

Sugar daddies ...

A new Linux OS may emit unfamiliar sounds if some network app is still running and set to use them for notifications. Quitting the (sound-making) app(s) and/or the network connection will can avoid that problem. Of course you can just turn the sound volume all the way down.

Suspended OSs may sometimes 'wake up for no reason' if some vibration causes the mouse, for example, to jiggle around enough.

Logging out of your user account before suspending/sleeping the machine will stop that stuff without having to dig thru settings. Faster to log back in than to reboot.

This Cat-4 started just down by the Yucatan and worked up 140mph-sustained winds in a couple of days over the Gulf of Mexico. I'm wondering how common that's been before.

I ran into a very old saying yesterday: A fish rots from the head down.

Quite the contrary! The idea is that today's curricula and methods of instruction have changed a lot over two centuries. Here in the US, it is not uncommon for secondary arts teachers and programs to be dropped whenever schools are feeling a budget crunch. Now we see similar things going on in major universities. Often ones with more administrators than professors.

In the high school I attended, and later in one that I taught in, the separate building for the sports program was as large as the rest of the school. I thought those were fairly clear statements of what the district's priorities were. 'Education' is a very broad word that can mean many things in many places.
