    /nocr - watch this

     

    It was a long, but good watch.  I appreciate his way of thinking.  The concept of how we have basically sent our CO2 overseas was something I really had thought about.  I agree with him pretty much point for point.  He's right, don't be afraid to make mistakes, admit to 'em, adjust/adapt to find the solution.  I have always stated I don't mind guys who make errors working with me or for me;  because to me it shows they are trying.  Errors can be minimized by double checking. Another take away, spend some time with the opposition and just talk.  It will lead to a middle ground and way to find the answers.  As he was talking about it I thought about the old saying "if you got 2 quarterbacks, you got no quarterback".  So I considered it in terms of Dems and Reps.   So what do we have as leadership?  Yikes!  Just whose interest do they have in mind? Just my opinion/observation, by the time the folks in DC come to an agreement about a problem, the original problem has grown or morphed into something else.  Sorta like building a freeway, by the time they are done, it still isn't enough.

    Electricity.  Boil some water, make some steam and turn a turbine.  Fossil fuel, nuclear, or wood products.  Fossil fuels-will they run out?  Nuclear-what do we do with the waste?  Wood-well shit, we can't claim to be green and want to charge our EV's and phones.  We will run out of trees.  Wind, solar, wave action and other (at this time) just don't make it fast enough.  But I guess we/someone is trying.  Somewhere there is a balance.

    I sent the vid link to my two green minded daughters (23 and 21, and no picts).  They are tech heavy and lecture me on the evils of fossil fuels.  I think the battery discussion will prove to be of particular interest to them.   Definitely food for thought.  Thanks for the link, my bro.

    Cooling rack or no? 

    When I do my bourban bacon I use a cooling rack on the pan during the baking.

     

    Jalapenos.  WTF?  The ones in bulk at my HEB look more like Poblanos.   It would take a case of cream cheese and a side of bacon to wrap 'em.   Kinda a PITA to dig out the smaller ones but I'll continue to dig 'em out.

    Do you have their contact information? Ply-Gem makes good windows so I am curious if they can drop ship an order for new construction.

    Sorry for being a little late with a reply, been busy.  Bayou City Materials on Lyons.  Vato in charge is Pedro.  Cool dude.  I'll post a pict of business if I can find one.

  4. Just to throw a little gas on the fire, most plastics come from petroleum.  So consider how much wire is needed for cars and wind generators.  Think about your laptop and how it's made, not to mention how other crap we all use every day in our lives. If everyone was driving E cars we'd need an asston(maybe even a double asston) of more charging stations, which means more wire.  I don't have the answers, but I'm sure the planet will not run out of crude before I'm dead. I remember in the early 70s government experts claimed the planet was low on crude.  Here we are today, getting more out of the ground than ever before. Some smart SOB will figure it out one day.  If not, then Darwinism here we come.

    I rubbed it in the OP’s mom a bit deeper than she was accustomed to.

    Must have been a long time ago, she's been passed for almost a decade.  But if you are into to that....

    The pictorial failure here is astronomical !!

    The third trip back i had the phone in my hand the entire we were there to sneak in a pict just for the "hot or not" thread.  Timing just did not work out.  I failed.  She's been there every time.
