This explains why Tesla cars were burning up in Florida during the last hurricane. Crazy and kind of scary! also interesting about batteries in lap tops on a plane.

A guy was asked to repair a battery pack for a child’s toy.
They wouldn't work on it. Their insurance would no longer cover them if they did. Lithium.

Neat artwork.

"Hans Schantz is one of the more colorful figures in the superversive literary scene—equal parts charmingly eccentric scientist, businessman and author. His brand of literature hails from the storied libertarian tradition of Heinlein’s juveniles but is, according to John C. Wright, “frankly, better.” His novel A Rambling Wreck was a finalist for the Conservative-Libertarian Fiction Alliance Book of the Year for 2018 as part of his The Hidden Truth trilogy. He’s also written short fiction and nonfiction.

"Inspiration of a more provocative sort recently struck Schantz; according to his Substack, Schantz realized startling parallels in the plot of Inherit the Wind between modern academic challenges inherent in teaching current principles of gender identity in contrast to long-standardized biological sexual identifiers while watching the 1988 TV movie production of the 1960 classic film last summer.

"After hunting down and studying the original Scopes trial courtroom trannoscripts, Schantz set to work writing an update to the tale, with the same central clash between the past and present. This time, science occupies the role of the foundational wisdom being increasingly vilified as archaic, with the ever-expanding and splintering tenets of gender-obssessed pop psychology playing the role of the dangerous new ideology being enforced by the state at the expense of individual freedom. The noscript is even drawn from the same passage of noscripture that the noscript of the source material comes from: Proverbs 11:29:

”He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.”

A clear process on the fuel consumption in a rocket.

"It came to me in a flash last summer.
Why the United States of America had spent the past two decades trying to control Afghanistan.
Why Big Pharma was pushing the vaccines.
It was the spice. The opium of the poppy fields. The opioids of Big Pharma.
Everything was about controlling the spice.
And always had been."

🇰🇷✈️ It turned out that during the Asiana Airlines plane in South Korea, one of the passengers opened the door.

The man said he "wanted to get out as soon as possible." Now he faces 10 years in prison.

I was surprised to discover - according to ChatGPT - that I'd somehow written this paper:

The abstract for Hans G. Schantz's article, "Quantum Mechanical Effects in Ultrawideband Antenna Design," published in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Vol. 58, No. 4, 2010, is as follows:

"This paper investigates the impact of quantum mechanical effects on the design of ultrawideband antennas. It is shown that quantum mechanical effects can play an important role in the behavior of these antennas, particularly with regard to the generation of electron-hole pairs in the antenna material. A quantum mechanical model of this effect is presented, and its impact on the design of ultrawideband antennas is discussed. In particular, it is shown that the design of these antennas can be optimized to minimize the effects of electron-hole pairs and thus improve their performance. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach."

Nice try, but I'm still not voting for him.
