Time to grow our own cocaine

 

We can safely say that all shootings, all crime, etc, has drugs fuelling it.  When I say this, I always get nitpickers saying 'not all'.  They like to debate using 1 in a million exceptions.  All articles like this always make rare odds look common.

I learned from this article that you have to treat 50,000 employees like criminals, or give up.  They give up.  

We can grow Coca leaves under greenhouses.  That stuff has the strength of black tea.  A gentle drink might stop people from going too far.  We have deadly smuggled drugs because it is vital to concentrate everything to smuggle.

The other thing to plant is simple heroin poppy.  Again, as weak as maple water.  We get the 'elephant tranqs' stuff because of the needs of smuggling.  Go for the natural stuff!  Anyway, we can't get into any more trouble with trumpy.  He won't invade us because he's out of ammo.  And really, can he manipulate prices, by talking about Canada?

This is mostly a rightytighty stupidity.  Ask fordy about it.  However, the whole western world was tied up with climate change, while the Chinese made rare metals.  We continue to have our fun.

ps it's so much fun trying to legalize minor vices.  The fordys shout 'If we legalize this, then we'll have hundreds of sweenys marching down the streets poking out eyes with their florets.  Think of the children!"  Nothing ever happens.  Just annoying ads like gambling.

ps this all started with people getting a new druggie bag going to Saudy.  Instant Death!  No.  Through the airport we are talking about small bags, as opposed to shiploads coming in.  So much anxiety, and a massive economic impact if they were forced to cut this to zero.  No probabilities mentioned and the anxiety press love this.  And, use a brightly coloured tie-dye suitcase.  Not plain black.

How to cope with the 'Year Without Summer'

 Yes, this has happened before in history.  Always blamed on some mystical volcanic eruption in the tropics they can't find any trace of.  They can't think of simple ocean currents.

This is big trouble.  Not for you!  You can just keep out the long underwear.  I'm talking about the Warmie Industrial Complex, with a trillion dollars in play.  Corruption that overwhelms trumpy and his day-trading -  "What am I going to say today?'  Ok, buy that stock.

Deep inside the University of Lyme Disease, in the UK, that started this whole thing, they have a discussion.

"Ok, the Fish says no summer. What are we going to do?  We can't kill the fish, because he's the only one that warns us.'

'We can push the "Phoenix rising from the ashes' thing until Christmas.'  "Fine, what else?'

'Obviously, we have to redefine 'summer', as a day or two above freezing.'  'Great!'

'We go with 'No Summer is Extreme Weather' thing.  It's all Climate Change, and we install more windmills.  I like the cut from that.'

 'We stay in the headlines by pushing more stupid legislation in Europe.'

'Then we are into winter, and -40C is extreme weather again'

"Ok people, we are golden'

ps note that 'clange' was first 'global warming', and when there was no more warming, it is now defined as 'extreme weather' including very cold.  

ps I agree.  We now have 2 seasons - Winter - below freezing;  Summer - above freezing.

Ha! You had your summer!

 For those who blinked and missed it, we have another cold blob coming down.

For those of you covering your ears with this news, I shall shout.  No Dang Heat Energy!  The nice summer heat we had is being squeezed out.  The Arctic Basin Vortex is still active and pumping out a new cold blob.  US natgas is zooming up because people are freezing.

Don't worry, the warmies are so down on their knees that they are proclaiming "The Second Coming of Heat" in the form of the Great White El No-no, formed out of nothing.  This is like trumpy finding religion to get him out of the 10 buck gas situation.

All the great fantasies that keep the influencers in the dough, are meeting their physics end.  

ps I like this headline, but not in the way it was meant.

ps and I like this one

Beware of what you wish for - "Gee, I hope they bring back 'work from home'"

Back from Cottage

 I'll say one word - Bandwidth.  None at the old tin hut in the woods.  

Arctic air still draining down on us.  We in Toronto, have been enjoying a sliver of heat.  It was so nice at the cottage with a cool wind off the lake.  So Islandishy.

Still cold in trumpy country.  Ha.  

The Arctic air looks disorganized.  That's good for summer.  Still some drainage on us from an Arctic vortex.  Bad for summer.  I'll let you know when it dies.

I stopped my AI (Artie) articles for now.  So many scaling limits, it blew up my head.  Look to more 'fancy' thoughts as they make it bigger.  A fundamental scaling limit, based on the laws of physics.  Although fantasy always ignores the big cliff ahead, it's still there, and the Arties are going to hit it.

ps 'fancy' - hellucynations - too big to type.

ps I really like to collect the most dramatic predictions.  Not a chance, but what happens when it fails, like all other doomer things?  Nothing.

For mass destruction there has to be heat energy, not just a 'flash in the pan' micro 1 day heatwave.

ps Ha, imagine if this got into Influencer Land.  The tech giant also says that Gemini Omni understands physics, history, science and cultural context. It understands gravity, kinetic energy, fluid dynamics and more.

Neurons and Brain - Part 3

 Scaling Limit - Energy.  Neurons take a lot of energy.

Back to our worm, he needs a neuron.  These are cells that go 'ballistic' when agitated.  They have an unstable charge arrangement.  Add just a few electrons, and more are shed, down in a wave that resembles a copper wire, but not the same.  

Neurons and brain cells are almost the same.  A neuron needs a sheath or tube to confine it to be long, and I don't really know what came first.  They also have their little buds or axioms, that can initiate a charge run, or are charged by it.

The worm picks up a neuron that runs its length.  This helps it immensely to know when something is chomping on its butt.  Obviously, evolution provides more.  The worm is generating a current at the head to know which way is which.  All these neurons grow to the head, and then stop.  They are workaholics and have to do something, so all these creatures develop a nerve tangle at the head.  This is our first brain, and it the main reason we exist.

Tied at the top, they develop sensors, and training, so that when a big dark thing hovers overhead, they scoot. (again, another million years)

Just as molybdenum controlled the first life, neurons define the meaning of 'animal'.  And a nerve tangle defines a 'brain'.

How the tangle works now presents other scaling limits.  It all the same with Arties, where the tangle is formed from chips.  Plants can develop reactions, but it is a broader charge cascade, like the Venus fly trap, and not neurons.  

- to be continued - too dang hot.

ps SERIES ENDING!  Can't think my way to the end.

Cottage Report - Victoria Day

 Really hot.  We are hoping the dragonflies pop out today.  No weather charts today, but it is the same old.  The Arctic has a huge inventory of cold air and it keeps pouring out, with no tropical plumes to fight it.  The tropics temperature chart is diving like a rock.  

'Extreme Weather' is now being hijacked as a clange thing.  Fifa will burn.  All great stuff.

ps this one is the best

Brain and Artie - Part 2

 We talked about how single complex molecules started to form plates, and then a sphere.  The cells had some molybdenum to render other molecules.  Tearing apart hydrogen, nitrogen, bonds, etc, is hard as CellBarbie says.  But as bacteria and cells started to float all over the place, they needed a way to eat and not be eaten.  This is evolution where a million years is a heartbeat.

Plants came first, and were just blobs of organic things.  The key factor here was that they just sat around and didn't move, and they just sucked in stuff that floated by.  They used their quantum atoms to make the trick of turning light energy (photons) into food.  Bacteria had it first, so plants just sucked them in.

Life is boring with just plants.  How about something that moves around and eats things?  That would be animals.  In a million years there was improvement through evolution, which is simply 'eat or be eaten'.  We had two good structures for something that could move, reproduce, and eat.  The first is the spherical blob.  Very nice, and those were the clams.  We went through that.

Next was the tube.  Water could come in one end and out the other.  Perfect!  These became worms.  Remember the big constraint of evolution is that each molecular change must impart an advantage in the 'eat-eaten' department.  For a tube, it would be nice for the head to know what the rear was doing.  This was defined by the water flow.  One end always won, and the other was the ass.

The 10 Scaling Limits for the Brain - Part 1

 I wasn't going to do this, but I'm dying in Blackfly Heat.  I don't know if there are 10 right now, but I'll try.  In the beginning, there was a nerve cell.  We are talking about the great time of the fossils down in the creek, when life was divided into molluscs, and worms.  The worms became us.  That's because they had a top, and the clams were all blobby things.  

Nerves were wonderful things that could transmit a whack to the clam.  The main cell is the powerhouse, with mitochondria, etc.  Then they have the cables, that they can grow everywhere, called axioms, but cables are good enough.  Those specialists and their jargon.  I call it a 'priesthood', all designed for featherbedding.  That's why the physics people were destroyed early in the clange game.

A single nerve for the clam is good.  It has a single axiom on the lips, and another one one the 'closing button'.  When it is whacked, an electrical signal is sent from ax1 to the main cell, which has a conniption fit and energizes all the axioms.  That sends an ion surge (the way the electrons move) to the door switch.

Now, the nerve cells like to duplicate and grow, and soon there are many more, mostly by evolution and nerve channels.  The nerve cells do not duplicate like rabbits, or else the clam would be a 'bundle of nerves'  Ha!  They are high maintenance, and get in the way of living.  So, the clams develop 'just enough'.  Another scaling factor - too many nerves spoil the clam.

Cold everywhere but me

 

Ha, Spain Guy is freezing his nummies off.  We have the only heat in town.  

ps absolutely stagnant!  Sweating just sitting.

ps an every-day earthquake hits the Islands - no damage.

ps I'm going to write my new play:  "Incredibly Hot, With Blackflies"  

Cold arc starts breaking up

 

This is great news for Toronto.  It means the blob isn't that strong and the stagnant heat is holding.  The mid-west gets more cold, but they're used to that.

Bugs and heat continue at the cottage.

ps that cold is hitting us now.  Should get pushed away, but I'm wearing winter stuff right now.

Cottage Report - May 15, 2026 Long Weekend

 Today is Stagnation Day.  Totally freezing yesterday, and now hot.

Starting the shots.  Just buds on the oak trees.  No wind.

For Toronto, the big question is whether L'arc du Cold can get down to us.  It's a big one, and poor Edmonton.  For Toronto and the cottage, we can now count on the water to help us.

ps warm and sunny.  lots and lots of blackflies.  We are happy in our new bug tent.

ps on the wind video, we have a full Arctic Ice Machine Vortex formed.  We can only hope it has a short life.

ps pure sun, no wind, and blackies.  Absolutely the worst, worse if you wanted to touch that ice water.

ps and the water is a cosy 55F, or 13C.

Clear Sailing for the Good Ship Stagnation

 

This is Stagnation in Action.     This Pacific is Dead.  

We have an Arctic Arc forming, but there is nothing behind it.  Maybe it will continue the Edmonton Endless Snowstorms.  I'm not looking at Europe, which is a popsicle.

A messy swirl in the Arctic.  The Toronto weather forecast looks standard 70's - Click, Bang, it's hot.

Since everybody is jumping off the Climate Train, expect some desperation moves.

ps cbc damps down the anxiety, but goes on and on about clange.

Artie - Part 3 - The Big Con

 One of the most important things for Arties is how you digest the input before you shove it in.  You must turn a face into a bunch of measurements, and you break up speech by the Large Language Model.  I would say "I'm having a conniption fit.", and the 'digester' breaks it up into nouns, verbs, etc.

Along the way, something amazing happened.  Take a billion dollars and set up a huge AI centre, illegally read every book in the world, and suddenly you have something that can have a chat.  Add more billions, and get pictures and videos.

Now, like all English Majors, you see a trend and extrapolate it in a straight line to infinity.  He who throws in the most billions wins the whole banana!

Just like climate change, you forget all about scaling, even though it was scaling that got you there.  To figure out the end of this, you have to go to physics.

I am not going to physics, because nobody does this.  Just imagine the worst possible end for all this, and that's what's going to happen.

--The End --

Artie - Part 2

 Hi, I'm Artie, and I'm taking over for the Fish.  I will continue with very bland groupthink, because that's all I ever read -- GAAAACK!  SMASH!

And that's how you train an Artie, with a 2x4 to the head.  Let's look at neurons for a sec.  You can take any tangle of neurons and make an Artie.  The cell is one mindless blob with a zillion little hairs or axioms.  The neuron works a simple con job of putting input and output valves on the tips of each axiom.  These are called synapses, and it is just a concentration of chemicals which can control how much 'zap' each synapse can receive or put out (or pass through).

The electrons move as a potassium or calcium charge (I put that in so that the 'hoighty toighties' can dismiss me).  So, one neuron is pretty useless.  But a simple worm grows neurons and they all meet at the head and create a tangle.  Those axioms go all 3D, and 'worm' all over the place.  Since each neuron can hold hundreds of states (the strength of the synapse), we've got something here.

These days you can take any tiny hunk of human brain tissue, and train it for responses.  That's the great 'mindlessness' of minds.  Nothing is designed at the beginning.  No programming, no nothing.  You just decide who's the input and who's the output.  Then you throw in a pattern on the input, and you get a pattern on the output.  If it's wrong, you hit it with the equivalent 2x4, and if it's right you give it a cookie.

Now, they've had this shoop forever, but we got a scaling effect that worked.

-- to be continued

The physics of Artificial Intelligence - Artie for short - Part 1

 Now, I know that all my 3 readers are dying to know how the Arties work, because they might take my non-job away.  Rest assured this is all fantasy hype, just like everything else on the media.  And it's all scaling effects.

A simple neuron has many inputs and outputs, and changes it's 'mapping' depending on what has happened to it.  This is simulated by standard computer electronics.  Lots of people are trying to do something else, but it is the standard graphics board that reigns supreme.

The graphics board is what we used to call a Cray Supercomputer.  We had that when I started computers and it was generally useless.  Instead of doing one thing at a time, like the Intel processor, you had to break up your problem into many pieces that could be fed in all at once, like a thousand processors.  So, it was a 1000 times faster than a standard processor, but impossible to figure out what to do with it.

I tried using it for finite differences analysis, but breaking things up and putting them back together again was more work than it was worth it.  Then, the Green Screen was killed, and we had graphics.  You had many little things zooming around on the screen, and suddenly the Super Computer was popular again.  Except they put this on a graphics card, with graphics chips. So, when you shot your Space Invaders bullet, that 'sprite' just went on by itself, and could be processed independently.

Iran War - The Sequel

 I said we'll have more Iran Wars than Terminator movies, and it starts.

That is why I have no more need to go after that 'Old-School Climate Change' thing.  Not trending.

The 'Live Fish Suppository' is the latest celebrity rage

 

Forget Ozempic, Colon Cleanse, Veganshit, all the horrible things those guys have given us.  This is the real thing.  

ps If this is too much for you, that Hanta Cruise ship is sailing again.  Makes you look 10 years younger.

Progressives ditch climate change - Cold is the New Hot

 Since Trump took away the policy of destroying the world economy, our wonderful lefties have taken up the cause to get it going again.  Climate change is dumped, along with physics, and we'll never find out what happened.

We are just in residual cold.  All temperatures are going back to seasonal normal for 1970, when those 'anomaly base maps' were created.

The Arctic is a shattered mess, which is where we want it to be.  So, dredge up your memories of what life was like before 2000, and that's what we'll get.

ps and so, the quackery called Climate Change, goes the way of snake oil, and phrenology.  Not with a bang, but a whimper.  I was hoping for a 'reckoning' with people saying "We're not falling for that, again."  Nope.

Lefties are Carneyfying

 

It's always been for the lefties "Let's destroy the economy to get what we want.".  Then the righties say the same thing.  Now, all the lefties have said 'Ditch climate change, and boost the economy.'.  If only anybody wanted to do a little physics.  Anyway, I saw this as a slightly rational thing, and that's rare.

ps this is another example of putting wings on a pig.

I don't know what that is, but why not put it in Medicine Hat?

Recruiting talent for the armpits of the world

 

I always wrote thoughts of keeping talent for Canada.  All our talent goes to California, and only an earthquake will get them back.  That's  because of weather.

Any serious effort to get talent to Toronto will cause all the armpits to cry "We want talent, too".  Thus, we are doomed.  

I don't know why I wrote this.  I think it started with building a fast train to Ottawa.  Really? and then Quebec City.  Montreal could be a talent centre, but there are social problems I won't mention.

Vancouver?  Soggy.  Talent needs sunshine.  Signing off now.

Let the Stagnant Air Games Begin!

 

Yeah, the swirls of a hot summer.  All that cold is forgotten.  It really is forgotten in the media.

Natgas is up, trying to keep the US tootsies warm.

As soon as it gets warm, expect the El No-no monster to rise from the seas.  They have to do something.

ps 

ps Super Hero Death

El No-no should die, like this comic hero, but they never do, do they?

What to do when you can't understand the exam question

 

Happened to me many times.  You can't turn into a puddle.  Those professors are absolutely nuts.  Just make the best fit of a problem in the text book.  You've got a good chance.  Don't forget that if everybody goes flushing down the sewer, they will do something.

Origin of Life - Moly Finds Happiness - Part 3

 All the story so far has been 'random events' or 'Proteins From Spaaaace!'.  We move to Evolution which is a zillion times faster than random chance.  Tell your kiddies that we compress millions of years into the space of a comma.

The main point so far is that we needed some Moly to eat.  You can't chop wood with wood.  Molies controlled the formation of life, and there may have been times of more or less Molies in the world.  The physics of evolution isn't your bbc mushy mushy story by that old guy.  It is ruthless, and involves the tiniest change of atomic electron force on a protein.  The winners do a happy dance, and losers become sediment.

Moly has a happy home and she wants to have kids.  Evolution requires an exact copying method (99%), with some room for error.  All her kids will be Moly clones with one weird one.  That little guy will either go on to great things or get eaten.  Kids can cover their eyes for this one.

We must get an enzyme to reproduce without the whole DNA thing, and it is simple.  Just have the RNA peel-off facial mask thing all by itself.  Moly's enzyme home just turns to a straight stick, instead of a rolled mess, and attracts a new set of building blocks.  Then peel it off, and, voila! a perfect copy, except for one thing.  It needs to suck in more Moly, batteries are not included.  Chicken and Egg.  

Soon, the vent has lots of Moly-babies eating everything in sight.  They become bigger, and don't split right away.  The easiest formation is a flat shield with a slight curve.  This forms a big sphere (relative) to the Moly, and Let the Evolution Games Proceed, with bacteria.

--End--

Origin of Life - The Story of Moly - Part 2

 Moly was a bright girl, just graduated from MolyU, due to the forces of plate tectonics and hot springs.  She had a problem with Lightning Hair, as all molies, so they could never group up.  She could deal with the lessers like Tungsten or Selenium, but never the stuck-up girls like Niobium.

She was floating along with her Chloride clothes, which made her salty but not zappy.  She still put out a good attractive electric field, and all the lesser nerds like Carbon and Hydrogen kept sticking to her.  Blah!

(Now, here comes the tricky part for evolution).  She became hired as the top gun for an enzyme.  The most important thing for life and she was The Knife.  She was all coddled inside, until they drifted over to a blob that used Tungsten.  Battle Stations!  Her enzyme, or protein, could attach, and then twist and unfold.  There she was, exposed in her full glory.  They started to carve up and eat the other protein, and became bigger and better, with a measly Tungsten slave who could wash the dishes.

They thrived and could eat to become the meanest dog in the park.  But how to join the Evolution Game, the big banana for Life.

(Here I am stopped for a second.  Moly must have children, little identical Molies and take over the whole vent)

--to be continued, if I can figure this out.

Origin of Life Revisited - Part One

 Biology is protein folding, Chemistry is something that can fill a beaker, and physics is the study of how atoms behave with regard to the electron profile.

I am convinced that in order to produce complex life, we needed evolution to work at the smallest level.  I was going with the 'Fight of the Blobs', but now physics has given me new inspiration.

As always, with me, we are talking the Scientific Method, with proof by experimentation.  Only our lefties have the luxury of coming out with the Truth, straight from lip-flapping.

The inspiration comes from all this 'Rare Earth' broo-haha.  That stuff is composed of rare metals, which is the big thing here.  We have had almost every 'ordinary' metal since the Romans.  This metal has a nice charge profile that can accumulate in veins, etc, and can be mined.  Gold, Iron, Silver, Copper, etc.  All good stuff.

In the heart of a Super Nova, we've had other metals form.  These are metals that 'Don't play well with others.', which was always my corporate annual review.  Yet, they are the most important thing for life.

We had no life on Earth until Plate Tectonics started dribbling out rare metals.  That implies that the total amount of life itself is limited by this stuff (Scaling Limits!).  A rare metal has a charge profile that is extremely active.  It does not group together, and the moment it is released, it has to combine with something, sometimes quite violently.  But, for us, it is always as a salt or oxide.  The Great Chinese Secret is that these rare metals are everywhere, but only useful when you strip off the gunk, and present it as a lump of metal.  This involves very ugly processing that kills everybody.  Who cares, all those guys smoke like chimneys.  We gave all the work to China and forgot about it.  Only now, are the brains of the West looking at how to do this safely.

This now leads to an even earlier Competition, or Battle of Wits to the Death.  Evolution is horribly cruel, and the loser gets eaten.  We now track the First Molybdenum Atom, released by Plate Tectonics.

 -- to be continued

Artificial Intelligence doesn't scale

 Lots of bright ideas are destroyed by scaling issues.  They are on a trajectory, and one must ask the question of what happens as they zoom up.

This is fascinating on what happens when Artie takes over all the chips in the world, and nobody has a computer to use it.  It's like electric cars in Toronto.  Look around and all you see are the 1950's wires and transformers.  You can't push more energy down these things.  Most of our energy is coming down pipelines.  

This is the essence of 'cycles'.  There are restraining forces that slowly build up.  The Artie people think they can replace all the intellectual power of human brains with electronic chips.  Another failed dream.

No matter how Artie unfolds, they need a local cache in your device.  Life is funny.

Victoria Day looks like the End of Winter

 Yeah, a perfect 70's forecast, and not anything worse, this year.

All the northern winds have run out of air, and look slack.

My clockwise vortex was just the dying gasp of Arctic Basin Mechanisms.

For Toronto, you can plant the tomatoes, maybe tomorrow.  Northern people might still have snow.

We always have had two temperature cycles, both hinged on the chaotic currents of the Pacific.  We have the 20 year cycle, and the 300 year cycle.  Right now, we are happy to confirm the 20 year cycle hitting us.  However, that would exactly like the start of the 300 year cycle, which I call a Major Ice Cycle, or just Ice Age, for short.  This cold cycle can trigger Continental Glaciation every 10,000 years, when all the highlands finish Isostatic Rebound.  We are not getting that, but the Ice Age brings the 300 year drought for the Mid-west, 10 foot snows for Ontario, and freezes the Thames.

We are now going to enter our Stagnant Summer from Hell.  Last year we still had some cold flow in July.  Probably not this year, but the Arctic can always surprise us.  No moderating flows from the Pacific, dead as a cucumber.

Clockwise vortex in Arctic Basin

 

That's a nasty North wind.

This is just for the record.  Nobody would believe me that this is significant.  Perhaps after I'm dead.  Anyway, I'm convinced that the counter clockwise vortex is the main heat machine of the earth.  It converts the heat energy from high-grade to low-grade, like any steam engine, etc.  The law of entropy.

Clockwise is something else, most likely driven by exterior forces.  They don't live that long, so we'll see tomorrow.  All of this fun physics has no effect on our real world of influencers, except that barns sometimes go flying.

English Majors try to figure out sea level

 

This is fun, it is presented as a 'Great Mystery', and the charming presenters go interview the locals to figure it out.  This is the closest thing to hitting the sea level scandal that I've seen.  Of course, they will never mention physics, because that is the 'third rail' for English Majors.

Dang Arctic Basin Vortex forming again

 Why won't it die?  Lots of cold sweeping down on us.

And Europe is still with us.

Our son was available, so we went to the cottage to open up.  Then we went home because it felt like winter.

ps going home I saw one of those wire carriers at the back of an SUV, jammed packed with plastic gasoline containers.  Must be an English Major.

We are in an El Nino, defined by current

 A regular 'media' El Nino is defined by what they want on the day.  A physics El Nino (defined by me) is a big current reversal on the Pacific Belt.  We have that now, for a couple of weeks.

This reversal carries no heat energy, so we are cold.  It is caused by the huge hot water lump left over by the 2024 heating event.  I had said it would soon interfere with the Pacific Belt current, and it is doing it now.

That belt was cold a little while ago.  You can see the hot lump now being rendered like a whale in a factory ship.  The currents will shave it slowly, and it will continue this for the rest of the summer.  They can declare El No-no any time now, but they will wait for the hot weather.

ps 

The mechanism for having a current reversal with no heat energy, has happened a few times.  It is a very thin layer of water water flowing 'downhill' over the major cold current.  All could be solved with physics.

Dying remnants of cold

 This might be a prolonged Death Scene.  

In general, this is what I expect to see.  The Arctic will just have winds sweeping over it.  We have a standard 70's repeat.  Horrendous warmth starting on the long weekend.

ps it is obvious that if the stagnant heat moves in, they intend to call an 'El No-no".

They control all the definitions, so what the heck?

ps since our weather is settled into stagnation, I'll only report if I see something weird.

New Bruce Nuclear a tad difficult

 

I remember when Bruke wanted to build a plant on Lake Erie.  "The dang thing freezes solid in the winter."  I said.  It will never be built.

I was also looking at new nuclear sites just before the NDP destroyed Ontario.  The only site was 'Bruce C', right in the middle of the place with no easy access to water.  

I am not going to lip-flap this beyond my 3 readers, but the 'C' site has no physics.  That's as far as I ever go.  That forces the other side to look up what 'physics' means.  Never happens.  That rock is sponge cake.  It's worse than Pick B with the settled ground making a giant bumper cars arena under the plant.  None of this can be proven, because they would never look at something which would make them look bad.

With an impossible site, like the nuclear waste thing, they will spend a billion dollars, and then run away, quietly in the night.  I will continue to snooze.
