I am voting for Vivek Ramaswamy for president because his wife works at The Ohio State University and he is from Cincinnati.
Is he qualified? Who cares?

Month: August 2023
Current trends are expected to continue. At 40 years old, hitting the gym gets you results. At 50, you’re attempting to slow the decline. At 60, you hope to retain full functionality. At 70, you’re just plugging leaks. If you are over 40, whatever shape you are in today, is probably the healthiest you will ever be. It’s like this scene from Office Space.

Presidential Debate
Prior to reading any analysis, here’s my take on the Republican presidential debate:
J.S. Morin’s Galaxy Outlaws is usually recommended as a book series similar to the Firefly TV show. That is just wrong. If you like Science Fiction, you must watch Firefly. It’s described as a Western in space. That doesn’t do the TV show justice and is part of why Firefly didn’t catch on when it originally aired, and only lasted one season. The characters in Firefly make it a perfect TV show. 10/10. There isn’t a thing that can be changed to improve it. If you don’t like Firefly, then you don’t like that genre.

It’s ironic, to say the least, that the U.S. is seeking to imitate China’s economic model at the moment that its industrial policy fractures. Look no further than its collapsing electric-vehicle bubble, which is a lesson in how industries built by government often also fail because of government.

Town and Country Camp Resort: 6/10
We spent the weekend at Town and Country Camp Resort. It’s a mixed bag.
I just finished the Robot Geneticists series by J. S. Morin. It is also known as the Project Transhuman.
The support structure went together as planned. Later on, I will add a hatch to the lower storage.
SciTechDaily: CalTech satellite beams energy from space.
A space solar power prototype, SSPD-1, has achieved wireless power transfer in space and transmitted power to Earth. The prototype, including MAPLE, a flexible lightweight microwave transmitter, validates the feasibility of space solar power, which can provide abundant and reliable power globally without ground-based transmission infrastructure.
This is one of those dangerous ideas that sound wonderful until you understand it.
Deadline: Writers strike nears 100 days
Writers and actors probably have a bunch of legitimate complaints. Everybody has a few jerks in their chain-of-command, so why should they be any different?
