2:02 This is my first post with the new setup. I bought on Amazon a hub that plugs into one of the USB C ports in my Samsung Chromebook 4 and offers 3 USB and one HDMI port. All i had to do is reboot the computer, hook the mouse, keyboard and monitor to the hub and it worked without any other fuss. I am a bit disappointed though because i payed 19 dollars for the hub itself at Amazon and 19 dollars for the HDMI cable at Best Buy across the street (i though i had one, i was to anxious to buy one online and wait till tomorrow to see if it works). I could probably cut the price in half but have to make two returns and it's not worth the trouble. Better view, no more artifacts on screen due to poor old VGA connector, but still have to figure a number of things. Yes you can do it with any laptop that has an USB C port (and of course HDMI, when you don't need any adapter), and probably even with a phone. (Great idea, should try see if can use my phone as a desktop computer, cause it has way more procession power than this chromebook).

2:19 Earlier. I woke up after about 5 hours of sleep because of the pungent smell. My battery connector main screw got stripped last night, i put another one, but the voltage now varies between 12.3 and 14.7 and i measured and this is what's coming from alternator. Could it be the alternator detects low current and stops charging. The truth is i couldn't figure it out and still don't believe in the so called smart charging. When i left for Best Buy i noticed this bulge by the curb next to alley. What they do, is they let the moles do their job and then pierce the soil with some tool and insert something burning in the ground. The mole leaves, temporarily, and the smoke comes out for hours. And nobody knows where from. Smoke composition changes from one day to another, today, last few days brought much irritation, but also have the animal dung component.

4:23 Just figured why i have problems with the battery. Last time i worked at i got frustrated by the noise and acting in the parking lot, and involuntarily (without thinking) hammered the negative terminal. These batteries are supposedly sealed, but i think they do leak at least some vapors of acid and coat the terminal and connector with a fine invisible layer of oxide that after a while break or change the parameters of contact. Alternator will charge, but up to a limit when will stop charging probably due to detecting low current and all electrical systems on the car will work intermittently between 12.5 volts and 14.5, with most dramatic effect on fuel pump, also with some flickering at that critical point. By hammering also by overthinking it i made the leak and the oxide apparent on screws and contacts. I looked at the battery, it looks original, which means 5 years, i am rushing to buy a new one, most likely a generic one. But in the mean time i asked google a question i always wanted to. Why can't use lithium batteries instead of lead on regular (non electric) cars.

Buddha wiser. Last night i was staring at the empty beer can on the dashboard listening to the sound of ocean interrupted only by the many decibels of each vehicle that started and idled profoundly, for minutes, and suddenly had a moment of enlightenment.

9:29 Where are the times when media in the US also played a tiny bit of educational role? Nowadays it seem they rush to pave the way to hell so others could follow. This isn't cold war anymore, it's as hot as it can be, if we judge Ukraine being on the side of the west. This is a real war that started in 2014, where 14k people died already. Not talking about the Yugoslav Wars with Croatians being the good guys and Serbians the bad which happened just because Croatia and parts of Serbia were in the ex Australo-Hungarian Empire (Yugoslavia was multinational, but the Empire wasn't).

11:00 Yeah but how do we know that was real?
