Energy Oversimplified
Switching to electric cars just shifts where energy is produced, and creates other issues – producing the batteries is far from being green, and recycling them later is worse, the power grid is not ready for the load etc. So here’s an option that kills CO2 birds with one stone. Well maybe a few stones, … Read more
A quick thought re firearms
I’m all for the second amendment. My mother is a holocaust survivor and I won’t give up my right to defend myself from anyone including the government. Yep. People felt very safe in the 30’s in Europe, and were killed shortly after by the millions. Having the ability to defend yourself is a way to … Read more
I’m one of many (republished)
My mother is a Holocaust survivor. Her story, as unique and terrible as it is, is unfortunately one of so many. My mother’s entire family was murdered by the Nazis. The only survivor other than my mother was her uncle. When troubles in Europe just began, her uncle was “crazy” enough to immigrate to Israel … Read more

I absolutely have no scientific base for that assumption, just a hunch, so this might be completely wrong. I base this … Read more

Now Biden bans travel from 8 African countries because of the omicron variant. I’m not objecting the ban on travel from Africa, though it might be a bit too cautious by … Read more

As you read this you are probably touching, seeing and hearing dozens of items that are manufactured in China or have … Read more
Facebook Is Dead!!! And it Predicts the Future!
Facebook just announced they are changing their name to Meta. They predict the future! In Hebrew, if you say about a company that it is “meta” (מתה) it means that it is dead. Literally. A “meta” company is a dead company. You heard it first here. Can’t wait! I cracked up when I heard it.
COVID future.
I believe COVID vaccines will keep lagging behind the virus’ ability to adapt. That’s what viruses do. Every year we have a modified vaccine for the flu. Same. So I believer the solution will be treatment. 100 years ago people died from infections, pneumonia, diverticulitis, blood pressure or even the flu, 20 years ago people … Read more
