A Long Day

Got roughly awakened by a carpet cleaner (ending the possibility of awakening confusion i wrote yesterday about, why they have to steal all my ideas). Though i wrote many times, i will repeat it. In the US they have these vans with a vacuum cleaner inside (ok, a giant vacuum cleaner inside) with its own engine that in some other countries could power the van itself (up the 50 HP). It also has a long hose rolled on a drum about twice the size of a normal vacuum cleaner hose, fitted with a small parallel hose for steam. At the end, one "normal" vacuum cleaner floor nozzle (had to go through several diagrams, didn't know the name of it). Nothing wrong so far, just the old good American tradition based on the slogan "bigger is better". So they pump steam through the small hose and suck the h... out of the carpet through the big one and the whole procedure may last up to 30 minutes for a small 600 sqft apartment. However it's not invincible. At the apartment at Sussex Village in Beaverton, they didn't "power" clean the carpet for 15 years. After they finally done it once, i went with my own vacuum cleaner and filled one reservoir with the dirt they barely dislodged (Christine McVie, Carol King as managers, possibly Zsolt Semjén as general manager, Regency).
Probably the short shiny metal pipe in the picture is the exhaust. Don't know about this particular type, but i once passed one of the vans that was on in the parking lot with a measuring app running on my phone, noise level was over 100 dB at 20 ft or something like that. That is, they don't have mufflers on those exhausts.

While still in bed, listening, started to smell the smell of litter dust falling through unknown cracks in the ceiling. Though less and less (since i started to go for those as well, could not imagine there could be holes in the ceiling, who of the past tenants would stick nails there, they are actually cracks between panels and nail pops). Tediously probing suspected areas with a dental probe, then cleaning the hole, and filling it with joint compound (gypsum). Could not stop my mind racing towards an older idea. Gas leaving the exhaust without muffler at nearly the speed of sound. Gas leaving any pressurized volume at the speed of sound. More molecules close to same speed means again breaking the normal or Gaussian distribution of molecules in gas, Maxwell's demon, reverse entropy, Szilard.

And the belief that the noise of exhaust does more than annoying sound. Could create disturbances in the space time continuum as well, physically destroying your thoughts, this being the reason i brought this subject at the beginning of what i hope it's going to be an hours long blog post.

Could not possible  lay my ideas in some order right now. Before i write "to be continued", here's a piece of information. Last night at the Ilani casino, where i went mostly to escape here and get some air, they created a new rule especially for me. Can't go out the door with an alcoholic drink in your hand, get a few quiet moments and than walk back inside. I will discuss this later. That made me talk to several security guards and though with mask, i think i recognized one of them being this guy. His distinctive facial features, especially eyes and especially the undisturbed calm are recognizable through a mask. I'm not sure but now that i think, he was watching an entrance where you could go outside and accidentally come back in without any temperature check, if not paying attention. I recorded several conversations with him and activated the recording app in front of him and he knew it and in the last one, when i asked a difficult question (if the privately owned parking lot is still "premises"), he claimed he cannot talk if i record it. For what purpose they brought him there last night? For the same purpose media confuses us ever since "Orson Welles" broadcast.

For the last few days they messed with my computer's keyboard driver or the keyboard itself, cause the space key works only intermittently so i had to bring the keyboard from Lenovo to be able to write this. Which as a few keys in different spots and makes it very painful to use.

And can't help here but thinking about "space travel" and what it brought us. The benefits.

First, what is space travel, as we know it.

I've seen footage from ISS. It is real. They do find people with the special ability of coping well with stress and all kinda extended time extreme situations, like lack of gravity, the natural tendency of your gut spilling out when its content is not pulled down by it, your blood flow changed for the same reason, with more blood to your head, dizziness, nausea, lack of up and down direction, etc. and convince them to climb on top of giant fuel tanks with engines at the bottom end which can take you into orbit alright after a few minutes at 3G. With a very narrow tolerance for mistake, it is a one way, one direction only trip, which is powered for months or for ever in case of ISS by inertia and small corrections (re-boosts) necessary to prevent your ship from falling back to Earth due to some very rare but still existing gas molecules at that altitude. That is you don't control it other than initial trajectory and periodic small corrections which prevent you from falling to Earth.

With no proven benefits to human kind, to me at this very moment is seem rather a glorified circus act than an necessary endeavor (could they make a vaccine, cure a disease with their "research" in space?) (Just another prop to occupy our time).

The only interesting part in a space travel is called orbital maneuvering. "The rest of the flight, especially in a transfer orbit, is called coasting." However, satellites including ISS do not carry enough fuel on board to significantly change trajectory. Barely enough to make correction to sustain altitude and one final burn, when needed to return, their lifetime in orbit equals the amount of fuel for correction. So your space travel is one long coasting with no steering, no change of speed and no fun.

"This plot shows the orbital height of the ISS over the last year. Clearly visible are the re-boosts which suddenly increase the height, and the gradual decay in between. The height is averaged over one orbit, and the gradual decrease is caused by atmospheric drag. As can be seen from the plot, the rate of descent is not constant and this variation is caused by changes in the density of the tenuous outer atmosphere due mainly to solar activity.

Just finished filling another hole that was done in top of an old one fixed by me. They also messed with the sign of the door, that was moving now by itself and never showing if someone was here. One continuous, obstinate, never ending offense. Breaking every time in here and sabotaging. One of those holes allow at vibration s... in here. On demand. They schedule through their AI continuous control over the whole area a "legitimate" trip for a noisy vehicle and they shut you down or change your mind when they want to.
