Going Rogue

Really good thread:



Comment I liked:


"

This is the part people aren't realizing fast enough. Quality public education is SO IMPORTANT. It's the only outlet most poor kids have towards social mobility. Rich kids can just buy a better education if the public system gets tanked.

What's happening in Florida, and in so many other places, is that they're trying to RE-segregate schools. Rich white kids go to private schools with strong programs. Poor white kids go to public schools with terrible education, propaganda, and lies to raise the new generation of Republican voters. All the minorities go to schools so bad the teacher don't even show up and they end up in a cycle of poverty so bad they'll never be able to get out of it.

They've already been doing this a long time, but now they need to double down on the propaganda on the not rich white kids because the new generation isn't nearly as scared of minorities and other "boogeymen", and Republicans have a one generation expiration date at the moment.

"

Just recently edited my site's page on education. I do believe in gender segregation, especially in large school districts (I'm from Kansas, obviously, most of the schools are quite small, too small of a population to segregate by any means) and I am for upping the education level and providing more and better options to people...


-- Also, doing my federal taxes. Says I will have to pay in $88. I made around $35,000 last year. Doing calculations, my effective tax rate is 7.0895 %. Our tax system is seriously this needy that we need to take over 7% from people making less than $40k/yr. on top of inflation?


- on top of interest-bearing debt loans with penalties, on top of economic boom and busts (cycles), on top of an economy that wants us to have to go to college and take on student debt, on top of an economy with a for-profit health system where an injury can bankrupt a person for the rest of their lives...(people under 40 have lived through all this crap and the stats on suicide, especially for men under 40 - so high...) I do not like paying into - with my taxes going to finance militarism and wars (and corporations and billionaires paying zero dollars in taxes - it's a joke); even if those wars are fought by someone other than Americans (and the associated veteran costs of war is a HUGE expense as well, which is a better use of tax dollars, I'm okay with, but we should be very war averse more than anything - if one calls themselves a "conservative" and an America first citizen - which is fine, but, do us good and do the world good - take care of our own selves and our own business and we will do well economically without having to mess with other people around the world. Is a cowardly thing to do anyway - to get other people to fight your fight - that is...beyond cowardice - it's just plain evil).



-- I'm not fond of it at all...people complain about taxes...geez, I don't even know...I've never made much money before...

- You're tax dollars going to using jets to shoot down air balloons and drones - and basically, them using our airwaves to propagate this nonsensical stupid stuff - AND being led to fear so you (the American public) will be scared into, being okay with, MASSIVE military spending and a probable upcoming (world war type of war) war with China (and Russia)...:

What's this? Didn't watch - I'm sorry I do watch a lot of videos and take up a lot of electricity: The entire internet on a single chip! MASSIVE energy savings. Just Have a Think • 129K views Internet usage is projected to account for 20% for all global electricity consumption by 2025. So anything that can help to reduce that catastrophically large number must surely be good thing....



"Just have a think" : Bandwidth. Transmission speed. Data collection/instrumentation. Processing speed. Packet spying? (- the processing power needed to do that? and then putting the 1s and 0s (in the "packets" that are used for internet data because they need to have addresses assigned in order to route the traffic) back together in the native app or whatever it is the spying would actually pick up - which would be the things with the most internet traffic or "bandwidth-heavy" talk in the wireless ranges - so they would be spying on us, collecting information about - "this guy is watching this youtube video, this guy is watching Tiktok, this guy is scrolling through Facebook, this guy is looking at some news or internet site, this guy is on some banking app (not likely, would mostly be all kinds of audio/video content because that's what takes the most data! and it would be impossible to process or capture it all, much less record it all, much less actually send all of that data to a satellite or satellites (satellite internet - slow - or at least slower, lots of lag time even if it is fast, it will have more lag, like if playing an online game, it might be smooth with a good connection but you would still be playing at least like half a second disadvantage or so). ... but anyways, this is interesting and cool: Wireless power transmission through solar power satellites shakshavali vali • 1.6K views It contains all information regarding WPT




Then yes, you also have to have a power source for the processor in the satellite (limiting the processor) and that (power source) also has to power the transmitter and the receiver(s). So having good solar panels is a big deal.


Yeah right, how energy efficient is it to beam power from space all that distance (power loss!) other than just mounting a solar panel on your roof or whatever? but anyway, it is interesting and it would be a fun kind of experiment/project to be a a part of and try to do (it would also start maybe blocking out solar radiation from hitting our planet if we have too too much stuff in orbit obviously...though I know, it would take a ton of satellites for that to happen:
