This Month
We extend a special thank you to our visitors from St. Helena, the British Indian Ocean Territory, the United Kingdom, Japan, and New Zealand. We love islanders!
Vietnam and Germany made strong showings again. No idea why.
We nuked some of our old HTML pages and designed the news portion the way it should be - on the front page with limited posts.

Perpetual Motion Machines
Why That Guy’s Perpetual Motion Machine Won’t Work
That guy is the one who thinks free energy is possible if you only follow the construction requirements for his poorly considered contraption. “No, you don’t understand,” he assures you. A few minutes later, he admits his contraption won’t function if gravity is present. Slap together an energy hungry anti-gravity device to facilitate the perpetual motion machine, and then victory will be at hand. Why not push advances in fusion power generation instead? Why do that, he asks. That’s hard. Yes, but it has the virtue of being reasonably possible.
The reason perpetual motion machines fail is due to the Law of Energy Conservation. Energy remains constant in a closed system. If the energy is used to perform work, energy leaves the system and must be replaced. Energy can’t be created out of nothing, but the success of a perpetual motion machine requires it to do exactly that. Energy is created through conversion from matter through whatever process. Whether it’s witnessing the sun’s nuclear fusion process, burning coal, or harnessing wind power with turbines, energy is created through a conversion process. Can you live forever if you don’t consume food? That’s the same proposal being offered by proponents of free energy. Energy has to be replaced after it is lost if it continues performing work. This doesn’t mean the energy was destroyed. The food you eat and digest is converted into heat and enters the environment whether you do anything or not following a meal. Most of your energy is lost either through passive homeostasis that merely keeps you alive or by consuming more food. Exercise doesn’t account for much of your energy budget.

Somebody looked at our site and thought we should know about recovery from narcotics. Or maybe they thought our visitors would need narcotics after visiting our site. If you need narcotics for any reason, you'll eventually need to recover from them the reasoning goes. And if you also live in Texas, that would help tremendously because that's where the recovery services are based. We live in Tennessee. A bit inconvenient. Still, thanks for thinking of us, I guess.

Strange month ahead...
Could you terraform the surface of the moon? Probably not.
The moon orbits the Earth about every 28 days. One side receives sunlight for 14 days. The other side is cloaked in darkness. The moon has only 16% of the Earth's gravity. At the top of Mount Everest, only 33% of the oxygen available at sea level sustains climbers and temperatures are -60 degrees Celsius (-76 degrees Farenheit). Now, imagine even harsher conditions on the lunar surface. Greenhouses would have to be climate controlled and must filter out radiation requiring a 1.3-foot thick lead shield while somehow allowing solar radiation to fuel the plants' photosynthesis process.
What's the difference between talking to a psychic or a chatbot? Not as much as you'd think.
- The querant seeks an intimate social setting
- Both the chatbot and the psychic operate using poorly understood mechanisms
- The querant has no reason to trust either the chatbot or the psychic with any expectation of privacy
- The querant divulges deeply personal details to a total stranger simply because the setting encourages disclosure
- The chatbot and psychic are frequently wrong but their errors are ignored. Only the correct details are remembered.
- The chatbot and psychic reinforce the querant's beliefs
- The chatbot and psychic are protected by the same For Entertainment Purposes Only legal mechanism
- Microsoft Mocked for Terms of Service That Admit Copilot Is for “Entertainment Purposes Only”
We don't use chatbots. 64% of US teens do. 52% of US adults do. We don't use social media. 72.5% of Americans do. We don't watch TV. 80% of Americans watch TV an average of six hours a day. We are three distinct multiple personalities that share common memories and a personal history. Only 1 - 3% of Americans experience Dissociative Identity Disorder. So, who is ultimately behind the curve in terms of cognitive development? We haven't decided yet, but it's not looking good for the rest of you folks.
That picture of Orchid Radowski is strangely mesmerizing and hypnotic. It isn't of Elizabeth Holmes, unless she did modeling work for Adobe Stock before heading up Theranos. It's surprising what you can end up with when you just screw around with photo stock.
