The Orange R by John Clagett written back in 1978 was describing this feedback loop in its story.

In the story Nuclear radiation was poisoning the air and scrubbers all over the country were cleaning up the radiation but were using nuclear power to power them creating a huge feedback loop where more radiation was leaking and needing more scrubbers to clean it.

I won’t give away what they thought about solar power, but it’s awfully close to the same messages that certain orange people say about wind and solar power to this day.

ETA: it’s amazing that back in the '70s they thought our future would be nuclear pollution from power plants while they had polluting coal plants and now 50 plus years later we still have polluting coal plants.

I use 2-3 squares of toilet paper to wipe and dry. I don’t want to run the electrical wires to hook up a fancy bidet with a hot air blower

For that to work some people have to get too much pressure. Your clean ass will have been built on the live lost to excessive bidet pressure.

IBM machines were used to tabulate the census used to track the Jewish people in Germany before the war and during the Holocaust, they tracked and counted everything happening in the concentration camps on IBM punch cards.

Look how far computer systems have come. Now Israel used an AI system and cell phone tracking to try to wipe out entire families.

My sister has hundreds of YouTube videos she used to help her students learn between music lessons. It will be two years soon since she died, I haven’t been able to watch even one.

I like to remember her in my mind, it hurts less than seeing her when she was alive.

They are talking about computer things, that’s about how familiar I am with whatever they are talking about.

Zorg did mass layoffs to hurt the economy but help himself and his bottom line. Musk will likely hurt his company since he fired a whole team that was overseeing construction, purchasing, real estate agreements. Now no one is left who knows what is going on.

You are correct, I looked at the month long view and I guess it was there for such a short time that it didn’t register on the longer timeline.

I remember reading somebody saying they were going to buy it and put a sell order for when it hit 69. Just looked and too bad for them. It seems to have maxed out at 68 dollars.

I have had both a cold water one and a dual temp bidet. By the time the water heated up I’m clean so I decided not to even bother hooking the hot water up.

Those who want to spread the good news about cold water spraying on your dirty rosebud would give a shit. At least they would like to tell you about the life changing bidet.
