There are designs for a giant glass cone put in the middle of the desert. Air under the cone gets warmed and it rises up through a couple turbines on its way out of the device.

Terry Pratchett's "Making Money" taught me enough economics to know that individual debt and national debt are two different things.

When money is not in circulation, it’s not being used to pay for goods and services…it’s just…sitting there being hoarded.

This is why I think the velocity of money should be a key economic indicator. Money moving around and doing work is what makes an economy better for everyone. When it starts to pool in the economy it slows down and benefits only a few.

This is another thing I learned from "Making Money"

Directory is the older term, but when they started making computers user friendly they needed a friendlier word for it. Folders make sense because people understand putting files in folders in real life.

Exactly, except like all computer metaphors they break down when you get into the details. I can't put a document in more than one folder and update them at the same time IRL like I can do with a symlink.

I don't like what Biden stands for and he has my vote.

Since when do morals have anything to do with voting?

If I followed my morals I wouldn't vote at all because I'm morally opposed to the existence of government.

Machines will always do what you tell them to do, as long as you do what they say.
