Sun Dec 1, 2013, 01:29 AM

open up especially late at night when the traffic is gone especially if you have a power car. It's also pretty treacherous terrain if you run off the road for any reason like an unexpected obstruction, maybe debris that fell off a truck earlier or a tire blowout like happened to someone I knew going 125 mph at 4 in the morning. He survived a broken back after being thrown in a ravine.

Dec 2013

Bartcop coined the term "Bush Family Evil Empire" to denote the 60-year pre-eminence of one family in the formation of the political philosophy in the United States, that of the War Party. And, yes, personally, I have tried to chronicle their influence on the ascension of the national security state. At least three generations have held high national office, while also making big money off war and looting the public Treasury. The last president of the United States, a man who wasn't elected fair and square by any stretch of the imagination, actually said: "Money trumps peace" at a press conference. For some reason, not a single "journalist" had the guts to ask him what he meant by that.

Why that doesn't bother you is your business. It does bother me.

PS: Something I've notice about you is that you never seem to post anything that adds to what we know about these treasonous warmongers. I do remember that you do like to post funny pictures and emoticons about those who try to shed light on the un-democratic crime family.

and their willingness to speak out about it. The desperation is evident which only makes people all the more determined to seek out and find the truth about the lies we are constantly told.

Under Bush people were scared for a while when he instituted all these spying programs and the bullies were online back then too, threatening people who dared to question Bush's lies. But people made a decision airc, the more people who speak out, the harder it is for them to go after them.

And each time they silence one, like Manning, more spring up, see Snowden.

They just never learn.

I am happy to see that it is a majority, a huge majority still, despite all their money and power and bullying, who is still speaking out and THEY have zero credibility except among their own small contingency.

But for me, I make lemonade when I find lemons. I love to see Sid in threads that need attention, either because they are so ugly, like this one and DU should get to see that, or because they are so interesting, like Octafish's and they might not get the attention they deserve without Sid's always dependable input.

I want to thank Sid, for bringing Octafish into this thread eg. To provide something of value to an otherwise shameful thread.

Tapping Tree Power

by Devlin Thyne - September 10, 2009

Bugloaf tipped us off about this flower power hack. University of Washington researchers, Babak, Brian, and Carlton have developed very low power circuits to run directly off of trees. This builds upon the work of MIT researchers and Voltree Power. A voltage of up to around 200mV is generated between an electrode in a tree and an electrode in the ground.

Identical metals can be used as electrodes as the process is not like that of a lemon or potato battery. The significant development here is the use of a boost converter and exceptionally low power circuits.

What kind of applications can you come up with for this source of power?

Maybe you could try to combine this power with the power from donuts and hair.


See link at bottom of page for more important stories of plants being hacked:

* Arduino compatible Christmas tree
* Producing Ozone at 3500 RPM
* Home built stun baton turns you into a cop from Demolition Man
* HHO generator makes bubbles that go boom
* Morse code flower is trying to tell you something

else it intended to do. Using the tragic death of another human being is not the way to make a point, which most decent people understand, and which is why this is so rare to see on DU. We COULD all behave this to try to call out other DUers, but decent people don't do that.

The recs, yours and two others, easy to predict those, the requests to delete, and the small number who joined in the mockery of a death, IS the poll. Among other things.

Always the same few too.

And thanks for the compliment by the way. I'm really not all you give me credit for, but I will accept it in the spirit that was intended.

The idea that cars never catch fire after a crash is, or that if they do, it's because they were "hacked." Another terrible death was used to promote incredibly stupid theories by very, very sick people.

I was going to say you should be embarrassed and ashamed since the man isn't even in the ground yet and his family and friends are in the worst stage of grief, but you would probably wear any condemnation of your behavior as a badge of honor. This wasn't an evil politician or man who caused others harm. I hope your death is treated with more dignity than you have shown here.

If you've noticed, though, I haven't said a word about him as person, actor, etc - merely mocked the ridiculous idea that cars never catch fire after being crashed or that they do so only after being "hacked." The only thing I've said about him is to point out he was not driving to those who wanted to blame him for the wreck.

I've seen a pic of the car. I'm going out on a limb here I guess by saying my gut says the person driving wasn't your every day schmoe, and probably had the support of the "passenger and victim" up until the moment the tires lost traction.

I'll stand by my equation.

Seems today he forgot he wasn't "a professional driver on a closed course".

Again, I'll stick with my previously stated equation: The notion that a fat wallet = driving skills equals recipe for proverbial dirt nap.

He wasn't in a "race car", didn't have "race car safety equipment", nor was he on a RACE TRACK. Sorry Rog... ya fucked up. Crash happens.

There is something to be thankful for in this tragedy: He didn't take any innocent drivers or pedestrians with him. Too bad for him and his family, and Walker's family as well, but good thing they in their disregard for public safety didn't hurt anyone else.

I mean, ok, if the OP was using his death to make some point of some ongoing dispute had here on DU - whatever. Boo her if you must. But to act like this is the most offensive thread ever posted in the history of DU is fucking laughable. To bring, 'ermahgerd, think of his family' up is... strange. A) I don't think any of his family reads DU. B) I doubt his family is scouring the intertubes today looking for awful things posted about him and C) even if they were and HAPPENED to land here, like me, they'd be confused.

I just don't get it.

http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2013/12/10-reasons-paul-walker-was-assassinated-2839228.html

SWITZERLAND, Zurich — The simple and honest question posed in the latest Truther.org article entitled “Fast and Furious” Star Paul Walker Assassinated by Obama Drone Strike?” has sparked an international outrage over the inexplicable and suspicious death of one Paul Walker. Regardless of how Walker was killed, the facts surrounding his death do not add up on any level and deserve further investigation, at the very least. Although cliché, the cover-up is always worse than the crime.

If Walker was in fact killed by an autonomous drone strike, it would behoove U.S. authorities to see to make sure the truth does not come out under any circumstance. In the aftermath of state-sponsored black operations such as assassinations and terror attacks, intelligence agencies routinely disseminate fraudulent dis-information through various media outlets such as CNN and TMZ in order spin stories and create confusion. The tragic death of Walker is no different.

By engaging in critical thinking and employing deductive logic, a more clear and concise picture of how Walker died and who is responsible will hopefully emerge. By examining the following evidence (or lack thereof), the world will be able to decide for themselves who and what to believe. After all, the goal of any real journalist or Fast and Furious fan should be to find out what really happened—something I’m quite sure Paul Walker would have wanted.
