    Brainstorming

    the kind of recycling I'm describing could be be described as "cherry picking". A computer, headed to the smelter. One removes the hard drives. are they useful? Perhaps. 80 gig or greater can find a very useful life.. a cheap adapter, and one now has an 80, 120, or more gig flash drive.. The hard drives that are *really* junk. i.e. don't work. They have at least two very strong neodymium magnets. Remove them, before submitting the aluminum case to the smelter. Surely, one can find a few practical uses for a pair of super magnets.. even if all they do, is hold some doors open at the appropriate time. That's what one professional group uses these for. That I know of. But there are more applications. What about with the little bit of copper wire from said computer, recycled.. as a generator. Doesn't require much hardware to make such a thing.. see.. the recyclers might welcome something like this. A couple of aluminum hard drive cases, submitted to the smelter, without copper, ceramics.. I mean, by the time I'm done with it, all you have to recycle is aluminum. Far easier than separating copper, aluminum, etc. etc.. in the smelter. I'm sure somebody else has thought of this. Old old televisions. Or monitors. They have either a very long length of copper wire, or aluminum wire, in a degaussing coil. I have harvested these coils from these. I strung the wire out, along a very long city block here, and braided the strands into the finest stranded twisted wire you could imagine. About sixteen strands, wound up with a cheap drill.. I dunno.

    I've been thinking about "intelligent recycling". People are throwing tons of junk into the recycler.. that could be directly re-used without melting it all down. How many millions of hard drives and computers are heading for the scrap heap.. so instead of just mindlessly tossing the metal into some smelter somewhere.. there has to be some kind of alternative.. The problem is, separating copper, aluminum, steel.. is very labor intensive. Not that it can't be done. Is there a use for a few neodymium magnets? There is a pair in every hard drive headed to the dump..
  3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flirty_Fishing and to think that parents approved of these kind of tactics.. the Girl disappears.. "Bubba" shows up to "under-shepherd".. all I wanted was a family. Can I sue for non-performance of da Promise?
  4. Why did I take "the class". to me it is still the same. I was looking for a family. Have I found it, or haven't I? I really think it was all an illusion, unless someone here can prove me wrong.. not that it really makes any difference. what was I looking for.. to me it wasn't "The Girl". Though I can completely understand this.. what I find what is the word.. despicable? That is too mild. You were willing to prostitute your own offspring, to bring more "followers" into the fold.. no, despicable does not describe it..
  5. The end is always near. Or is it a new beginning.. kinda like my big wager here.. I'm fully committed to the concept of some kind of rebuild.. if it doesn't pan out, I'll be sorting through junk for the rest of my terrestrial existence.. there are worse things..
  6. I have a couple of these I "harvested" from non functioning computers. what can you do with these.. maybe this isn't a computer question as such.. more discussion. I found a nice device a while back. It will plug into any kind of modern hard drive, and plug into a USB port. For about 9.95, and with some junk the neighbor threw out, you can have.. an 80 gig flash (almost) drive. How many pictures or images could you dream of storing on an 80 gig drive? I'm thinking more of images, because they seem to require more storage space. but today, I organized all of my data, pictures, everything. It only fills about 20 percent of said hard drive. And I have several more in the closet.. maybe the question is: "what would you do with an 80 gig flash drive". Well, it will almost fit in your pocket..
  7. Fear, makes companions of all of us..

  8. I wonder what the hirschfeld "twig" was like. Were they coordinators, or merely "participants"? I would bet they got the chief seats at the feasts..
  9. You want to see "believing" at work.. try going back to grad school for a degree in math at 54 years old.. and there are no certainties here, even with good academic standing, and five credits to go, in today's political and economic climate.. no guarantees, whatsoever.. never, light at the end of the tunnel.. but maybe there is. I had a dream, a long, long time ago.. I was in a very large building, either it was constructed out of glass, or crystal.. the walls of glass or crystal were about twenty meters (metres for non-usa folk) high. There was a crowd of us, dressed in white. I've had several other impressions, that followed the dreams, exactly. Not this one yet.. The closest it came for this one.. so far. I was in a graduation ceremony, and we were all dressed in black..
  10. As far as twi in concerned though. Do we have any real proof that rosie(?), the donster and other uglies are even still alive? No current pictures.. nothing. Is there really some living thing there? I've heard stories from the U.K.. the landowner living to about 170, so they don't have to pay inheritance taxes.. maybe you could fix my perspective here twinky..
  11. From your article: The name is quite fitting, isn't it.
  12. Towards.. the embarcation!

    I dunno. He found a pretty ballerina.. a beautiful wife.. Alice was lucky..
  22. I still kind of believe in it. I just refuse to invoke it. Why.. there are a lot of things in life I would really, really like to have. ah. The guy who runs dow corning. Just got a "bonus".. how many millions of dollars? And at the same time they make budget cuts, involving the few employees that are left there. Maybe he "believed" for it. there ARE consequences, ya know.. what did what you "believe" for cost YOUR fellow human beings. I could "believe" for a LOT of s*it.. Even if the illusion is true. You believe to move the mountain.. how many years will it take the victims to dig out.. I'd rather be buried, than to bury.. Have your fun fellas. Just wait for the debriefing on the other side of this existence.. Don't worry. It won't be so bad. You'll just lose everything. :) It's not much different from practical majik.. or practical kaballah..
