Subject: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 01 Jun 25 - 06:17 AM The Part 3 thread is getting close to the visibility limit. Let discussions continue here. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 03 Jun 25 - 08:30 AM Refresh, to hoist above Part 3. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 03 Jun 25 - 03:32 PM What are you trying to hoist? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Your intention can help address issues like high blood pressure. A little pill is better than a stroke. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 04 Jun 25 - 12:34 PM The chop-off limit for overlong threads is somewhere between 500 and 700, but I don't know quite where. I'm attempting to head off the vanishment (of the Part 3 thread) before it happens, ol' bean. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 06 Jun 25 - 04:26 PM Beggars can't be choosers - someone interested enough in the subject matter (wide / deep / shallow / profane) of these threads to keep them going is rare these days. Amos and Little Hawk/Chongo were big players back in the day. There are quite a few notables still around but who probably never drop in any more. You can see fragments of the original MOAB but you find them by searching on the contributor - backtrack to their past posts and open any of them they shared on MOAB. It's an archaeological process these days. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 08 Jun 25 - 08:25 PM Black hole technology makes for interesting sci-fi grist but I favor ultra high voltage engines that deal with plasma electrodynamics in a toroidal fashion. Tesla and dozens of inventors would agree that ultimate electric power generation has remarkable side benefits. The powers that be on Earth have dealt with those inventors with extreme prejudice. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 Jun 25 - 10:47 PM The Great Basin? That's a rather broad swath of the western US even for a swathbuckler like you. Did you visit a particular portion of it? |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Rapparee Date: 13 Jun 25 - 10:59 AM I trekked every square millimeter of it. I couldn’t go above 15,000 feet of elevation however. Overall it was a good trip, much of it spent under the Dark Skies of the NP. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 23 Jun 25 - 07:03 AM Opposite-spinning toroidal plasma creates an electrodynamic gravity repulsion that also generates massive amounts of electricity in a very small generator. We all could have one if it wasn't for oil company repression, |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Rapparee Date: 23 Jun 25 - 11:07 AM And the temperature of the reaction? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 23 Jun 25 - 07:03 PM I'm lucky to just spell toroidal but the temps are not like those of fusion. Plasma is hot but not impossibly hot in such small amounts. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 23 Jun 25 - 07:14 PM A large generator would ionize the air around it in a bright light field, which could be insulated against... somehow. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 25 Jun 25 - 11:01 AM So far all our deep space probes and Mars rovers have used radioisotope electric generators. The next generation of electric generators will be these toroidal plasma electric generators, which are, candidly, more reverse-engineered technology than not. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Jun 25 - 12:22 PM I've been looking around YouTube this morning for an old lecture by an old guy that I'm sure gnu originally shared with us years ago. To do with how gravity fed water can create great pressure, but it wasn't a lecture about hydroelectric dams. It was on a much smaller scale. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 25 Jun 25 - 12:55 PM You're right, Stilly, though I *think* I got the information by following a lead --- Gotcha: Ruina montium, linked from the Pascal's Barrel reference. Is that the basic information you were after? |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Jun 25 - 01:09 PM That was quick - and getting very close. Yes, I remembered the discussion of artesian wells in the lecture, and the reference to ancient uses. He was applying it to the generation of power (probably to turn turbines or create steam) but it wasn't hydropower. I don't see a link to the lecture - he explained it clearly, and that's what I'm going for. MOM says you earned yourself a beer out on the screened in porch. :) |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 26 Jun 25 - 03:59 PM Friend and guardian of the forests, friend of man's best friends, and part of the garrison to protect artifacts, this person lends a hand without fanfare. Experienced in the sacrifice of parenting, sustenance has become a masterful art from the earth to the table. Policing those who should be friends and teaching how to simplify home environments, there is an ever-growing expertise in research. When two dimensions are not enough, three dimensions open a new understanding. I am a volunteer's volunteer, like an artist who is an actor's actor. Who am I? |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 29 Jun 25 - 01:18 PM If the plane you are on flies through a cloud you probably felt a bumpy ride. When you consider that an average cumulus cloud weighs about a million pounds the wild ride is easy to understand. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 29 Jun 25 - 05:19 PM The growing application of nuclear power has introduced the problem of materials changed by exposure to high-energy nuclear radiation. The steels that make up the primary containment vessels of nuclear reactors may undergo progressive embrittlement with neutron bombardment. Embrittlement is relative and may be small or large; it is important in either case because of the major function served by the vessel and the economic implications of overly conservative design and operating practice as a result of uncertainties. A hydrogen bubble at 3 Mile Island did not blow up the reactor, but it did at Fukushima and Chernobyl. Today, there is a spherical form of nuclear fuel that will not melt down, but it will not be used at the newly proposed nuclear plant on the shores of Lake Ontario. There are several nuke plants on the shore of Lake Ontario, including Ginna and Nine Mile Point. Ginna is so old that it should have been shut down 30 years ago, but it is still going. I guess this is part of the Trump drill baby drill fanaticism, but like war, it is a racket that makes money for a few and can have ruinous consequences for millions of others for a very long time. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 30 Jun 25 - 06:29 PM 3 Mile Island did have a hydrogen burn heard as a loud Thump clear across the river, but did not have a supersonic explosion. The billion-dollar EPA clean-up is far from finished, so I wonder if the Trump cuts will leave the melted fuel in the middle of the Susquehanna River. I lived upriver from the plant and felt a highly unusual nausea in my spine after day 1. I went to California for the week. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 02 Jul 25 - 06:31 AM Mr. ICE vigilante You've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear of kicked children Out of our world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood That runs in your veins How much do I know To talk out of turn You might say I should go You might say I'm unlearned But there's one thing I know Though I'm smarter than you That even Jesus would never Forgive what you do Let me ask you one question Is your money that good? Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could? I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul And I hope that you die And your death will come soon I'll follow your casket By the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed And I'll stand over your grave 'Til I'm sure that you're dead Bob Dylan |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 04 Jul 25 - 10:39 AM It turns out that I am younger than the youngest member of Black Sabbath on their last comeback concert. I bet the band and audience all have hearing aids. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 07 Jul 25 - 12:50 PM The mayor of Kerrville TX was told not to mention that there was no 1 AM phone warning of the flood until 5 AM at the Governor's press conference. The Trump decimation of the weather service and all the science climate groups and responders like FEMA was to eliminate mention of climate change and put that money toward the wealthy tax cuts. No one told Trump to think it through. Now he says the weather service did their job. |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Donuel Date: 09 Jul 25 - 10:05 AM Hold onto your illusions of beauty and joy. Teachers, religions, and politicians grew limitations to freedom meant to destroy. The sky can be any color, not just blue. but beauty belongs to you. The most glorious truths are illusions That does not mean they're not real. Life in the sea and land aren't delusions. They are as real as the way you feel. but beauty belongs to you. We are just an interface that translates. Reality goes farther than we can see Illusions like the heavenly gates for some is as real as can be. but beauty belongs to you. donuel |

Subject: RE: BS: MOAB's Daughter (of all BS) part 4 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 Jul 25 - 12:40 PM MOM is intrigued that there is a large orb spider web on the screen porch. It's near the porchlight, so applicants present themselves for the dinner menu nightly. Watching a spider eat beetles is more entertaining than politics and other social activities these days. |
