October 1st

To make a long story very short. I think at Lucky Eagle i spoke to a woman posing in Casino staff or maybe even being a member of the staff in uniform with a dark green and gray shirt (i later saw another woman with that uniform that had an inscription Lucky Eagle Employee) who was actually the woman upstairs. She was showing empathy and even smile in the end but when i asked her who she was so i can tell her later if i see the woman with the T-shirt she kinda ended the conversation.

I was complaining about being bullied on the road all the way there and then i saw a woman with a T-shirt with the name of a football player named Lynch and thought that was part of bullying and/or a threat. Then i spoke with a security guard at the entrance about the same stuff and now when i googled Lynch 24 as saw on her t-shirt i see a face who might have been of that security guard. BTW he told me to tell him about my research (on who was Lynch was) next time when i get there and he looked either sick or scared to death.

No i don't watch football as i didn't watch soccer while i was in Romania. I find both extraordinarily boring. Some guys throwing and/or kicking a ball from one place to another.

3:34 There is more weird stuff i would like i feel like i need to share. An idea that was later in my mind.

I think when a man has sex to a woman and the woman shows/has pleasure there is a channel that opens between the two beyond the initial attraction or desire for sex that may not ever be stopped by either. This probably is embedded in our genes and is ancestral and helps the survival of the species when the two need to stay together to raise children.

That link gives the man an extraordinary attraction and attachment towards that woman and an incredible energy and happiness.

More than that i think the same stuff happens when you see repeatedly a woman on a video on certain sites while pleasuring self but it is one way only cause the woman will never even know who you are. Or who knows.

I don't think women should do this cause it maybe dangerous for the whole lot of people who watch them.

More than that. I think ninja with the help of Buddhism and  Shintoism that both inspired from ancient Hinduism  through special training know how to tap or use or open that channel in order to literally read someone's mind and/or influence that person. But i think should better be a woman to be able to link with a man.

Could they control and finance the whole porn phenomenon. Free sites you can access anonymously with a couple of clicks that may capture your soul. Literally.

But even "lesser" activities like semi-porn tiktok videos may have a similar effect and in the past movies and music clips. I think the keyword is submission and man do they show submission in the newest videos on tiktok.

Amazingly i had an intuition about this before.

10:36 Washington State. You may call it revitalization of supposed old European religions vs Christianity and/or Judaism, i call it ninja manipulation. I think the apprentice magicians are actually succumbing to a higher level of magic.

One of the central cultural pieces in this puzzle is Pink Floyd's the Wall. However i know David Gilmour is a legendary Hungarian rock singer named Janos Kobor of the band Omega and i think Janos is a Jewish name in Hungarian. However in Hungary he did the opposite of what he did with Pink Floyd, a type of ballad romantic rock and probably using a wig presenting himself as gay.

However there are recognizable Pink Flyod accents especially in the guitar solos and pretty plain in early songs.

No i don't believe they were beneficial for the ordinary Hungarians, their greatest hit there, Girl With Pearls in Her Hair is about m...n like many other international hits including Train's Drops of Jupiter.

Wondering how come Klaus Meine (Scorpions) speaks and sings in Hungarian using those hard to pronounce non-european vowels singing with Janos Kobor both transcending in a different cultural space were Kobor is unrecognizable as David Gilmour. Here doing a bit of magic for their own.


10:40 As i was making an effort to remember names and stuff and also got frustrated by my own sloppiness in the blog post with his face while talking with Angela i became "emotionally vulnerable" and she started her ritual dance upstairs. However she took off right away.

BTW they did laundry in the building and pumped vapor in the basement as everything including the floor got colder and the floor is wet and bulged at places. We are being eaten alive by collagen eating bacteria developed in the fiberboard floor that is pressed with collagen based glue.

12:10 By far not the only case. Here is the Hungarian singer Zoran (Ștefanovici) who for us all is known as Eric Clapton. They don't call themselves magic people for nothing. (Nu se prinde nici darcul. What?)



As i was getting ready to fry my bread in two pans (ran out of bread, none of us wants to go to the stores) they showed in the back zooming like pixies from a game we both played last night. There's magic in the air (dog poop smell). 

2:50 St_evie Nicks as Eva Sun (Eva Csepregi) singing late 80s disco in Hungary, however in this clip she kept her traditional scene clothing and dancing style.


All use more upbeat songs and lyrics compared to their counterparts in the US and UK and the reason is they try to keep happiness at home...

 4:15 Words is all i have...

I have started to believe that the US didn't change much since the times of the Wild Wild West. But make no mistake. Nobody should expect the US government to look into this. They just said they passed "a bill" borrowing  more money to pay their bureaucratic axes for 45 more days for crying out loud. I am wondering from whom because everybody knows they are not going to ever pay them back.

5:50 Again i lost a paragraph due to motion and throwing of a heavy object upstairs.

I said that i noticed when i drive from here to near Olympia, that is 116 miles on I5, moslty south north i'm getting about 8% lower mileage than when travelling back on final trip report on dashboard and the another reason could be this.

Same happens when i drive from here to Grande Ronde which is east to west.  One of the reasons could be i always return at night when temperature is lower and tire pressure is lower but but in this case the difference could come from the formula of energy mv2/2 when the energy depends on the square of the speed.

The total speed of your vehicle is 500+/- legal limit made of the speed of the Earth towards east then adding or subtracting your vehicle's speed and the dependence on speed of energy is not linear.

Car's energy due to just rotation of the Earth is 500*500 = 250000. Let' say you move west with 100 mph. The speed's contribution to the energy will be 490*490 = 240100 and when you move east 510*510 = 260100. First difference is 250000-240100=9900 and second 10100. Am i right?

Ok some would say you have to use extra energy only when accelerating at that speed and then you go at constant speed and energy so the difference would be trivial. It is true but a trip is made of numerous accelerations and decelerations and when you get your ft off the pedal the loss of energy is due mostly to friction with air so it is not transmitted back into the ground.

I think one first application would be in athletic competitions LOL. Another one; vehicles could go slowly when moving north and faster back south to compensate for the time and save energy. Different speed limits on freeways.

BTW just remembered something. Last night when i reached exit 88 on I5 and took a left towards Aberdeen the Sun suddenly moved in my face as the car in front of me slowed suddenly. On the radio was singing Stevie Wonder. Can get the symbolism?

All the way there i kept asking myself where are the cops when these guys do what they do on the streets.

I noticed a couple of times earlier that everybody was behaving while passing some stationed flashing Police cars not necessarily slowing down but not bullying by approaching too close from behind, passing on the right where there was no room in front of me, getting dangerously close to my lane, constantly changing speeds, getting in front when about to pass, etc. All drivers i could identify doing those things were Asians except one.

At a moment i saw on the right shoulder a pretty rectangular pile of garbage mostly clothes of the height of a person with a small car near it and that vehicle could not have been the source, several Police cars and a fire truck. It was all about dumping wasn't it and they were busy participating in the show. Then inside the Casino i noticed how the word TRASH on the trash cans resembled TRANS.

9:53 Ideas from the road.

I never thought Asians care much for the truth. At least the ones i encountered.

"Though should not bear false testimony on your neighbor" is the second commandment in Judaism and Christianity. The real important stuff, not the sectarian rituals like fasting or not working on a major saint day or kissing icons.

The main requirements of Shinto are others. 

Nor do they care for causality, long term consequences of their actions. That is replaced with codes and/or loyalty to a master or a group. No matter how the events succeed they will overpass them in order to get the needed results.

It is about Buddha's life. There are large variations between different authors and though they all revere Buddha, many don't agree and that reflect their way of thinking.

That is the reason i could not find with one or two searches what i needed to know. The idea from the road. Was Buddha a Sadhu.

Sadhu is a religious category in India that at the beginning was a privilege for the Brahmin or the highest class. Nowadays all are accepted and are approx 4-5 million Sadhus in India. They are accepted (on the side of the larger society) because people say "they burn bad karma" or in other words, bring good luck.

There is no doubt "the wondering ascetic monks" the biographers say Buddha was associated with but they never say it plainly.

The reason one would become a Sadhu is purely religious. The way to becoming a Sadhu was not an easy one. You needed mainly to give up all your possessions and family, take some vows and have a master (guru).

He would give you a secret name only him and you knows and then you would have to do a job for him, no matter how small. After that  you were expected to live from begging, wondering. 

But there must be some reasons the Sadhu live separately from society and that is they have knowledge of things ordinarily uninitiated humans should not have and would probably get scared by those or abuse them and would not accept their rituals and way of living in the materialistic larger society.

What i think it happened. Buddha who was not Indian nor Brahmin though he was a rich prince (Chinese looking, from Nepal) who indeed gave up everything, became a Sadhu and could not bear that life and after about 6 years broke his vows and turned to what he called the middle way, rebuking both "extremes" as he said, probably the hedonistic-materialistic world and the ascetic Sadhu.

No single Sadhu has all the knowledge and i think Buddha had at least three gurus.

Then the knowledge he gathered from the Sadhu was passed to normal uninitiated unbound by vows and purifies by renouncement people and that ended in the hands of some that weaponized it and this is how ninja appeared and the results are the today's world.

Unless he intentionally penetrated that category in order to gather knowledge for his clan.

I am not writing all these for having fun or for the entertainment of the reader. The ninja posses and use this knowledge as operational means when infiltrating in foreign (to them) territories, of which most important is tapping into one's mind. But there could be more because i started to believe all the people in the world are interconnected in one to one or one to many communications channels we don't understand yet and some have more abilities to influence others.

11:50 Whatever. HBTY.

No Contact Martial Arts

Martial Arts is a phrase that has a bit of GNotUnix, a bit of semantic redundancy in it don't you think. mArtial.

Martial is when our fight instinct gets channeled into a highly organized activity, maybe one at the apexes of human civilization. Cause most of us nowadays survive or do think so due to the highly organized, trained and endowed armies or all nations. Countries like US spend most of their (enormous) budget for defence of mostly other countries.

A balance of powers that brings prosperity.

But can it exist. As an unmediated link between our fight instinct (as in fight or flight) and fighting like a trained soldier. No i believe not. I think we delegate the power of our martial instincts to the politicians who control the armies. I think those who chose the path to let themselves be trained into soldiers, like in any trade, in the end are just applying their skills under the coordination of their generals.

During a war your unhinged fight instinct will get you killed immediately. Martial arts is above all discipline, but in the end war is an art governed maybe by the 36 stratagems of General Tsu.

Fighting by instinct is also an illusion that professional wrestlers, boxers, other entertainers are trying to maintain. The reason for its attractiveness. But everyone who ever looked into it knows it's all script and skills, more like acrobatics than fighting.

Did not really want to write the two paragraphs above until i saw the two words written together. Has little do to with what follows.

I've been wrestling with myself since this morning about writing this post. Literally. A persistent sharp middle back pain. Could not raise from bed to take the keyboard. Changed title in my mind several times (my mind, another little semantic trap, is our minds everything that's really us). Did some searches, only to get deeper in trouble.

Also an infinite feel of uselessness of an ant fighting the cosmic Godzilla. But i shall try cause you will see in the end, i have no choice. (This is definitely not one of those days when writing on the blog is fun).

There is a group in Bali, Indonesia that claim that can use no contact martial arts to knock an opponent unconscious. Yellow Bamboo. Others, all squeezed on a small Wikipedia page. From the category "self ridiculing". That sooner or later got debunked. The immediate question is, why and how to live a lifetime, like the "Kiai master" in the videos, ridiculing self? Could it be other things they are trying to cover? Now i vaguely remember is not the first time i saw the last video. Was searching for the same thing, from time to time. If there was something on the web documented, no matter how little, about the possibility of psychic martial arts. Or should i call it psychophysiological. Cause me personally i am more than convinced it exists and i spent a great deal of my life in this environment. Being remotely manipulated by such techniques, that are far from lethal, however, toxic (sometimes literally), debilitating and effective in manipulating (influencing) me and through me, others who happen to watch.

Most martial arts as we know them from competitions come from Japan. All so called competitive, recognized as sports, sometimes olympic "disciplines" that happen on a tatami start with a bow... Sumo wrestling which happens on clay and sand, also start with a bow, though somewhat more... complex (the purpose of a sumo match is to make your opponent touch the ground with things other than soles and/or push him out of the circle).

So we shall start (and probably end) with the bow. But what is the bow and where does it come from in Japan? The bow is so important in Japan that every newcomer knows that he started to be assimilated into the culture when he involuntarily bows during a phone conversation.

To me it looks like an unparalleled type of body language that is unique to Japan and lost its traces in history though it is a very important element of the culture, one more layer of ...overhead that makes it so hard to understand for the rest of the world. And since i took the picture and already posted it i will start again with it because i just realized i should have never posted it cause i may contribute to spread of toxic subliminal ideas as i did not understand from the beginning all of its elements.

Cause the two shores closing together by an apple or a sun or whatever may represent two people whose heads or minds are merging in a bow...

Cause i believe this is what it represents. A mind merge or melt that comes all the way from the corroborees of Australia... Towards a type of collective consciousness, maybe? Excluding the rest of the world maybe?

Like everything in Japan, the bow is taken to the extreme. There is a 15 degrees bow, 30, 45 and all the way to 90 and beyond...
But to me the most important part is just beginning. It is not only the muscles of the back that are involved in the bow. Holding of breath ensures some pressure in abdomen that helps with the posture. It is then where your organism becomes vulnerable. I do believe for the short time of the bow some psychophysiological synchronization occurs between the two. Something that would help mediate and place into the hierarchy the rest of the conversation.

However i came lately to discover that they also have what i call the "reverse bow". Available probably through oral tradition within ninjutsu, the trick is part of what i call the true no contact martial arts. One gets on the street in the way of the subject, catches him in a moment of stress, like crossing the street or a busy parking lot etc.., or in other busy place, like inside a casino, and  then bends... the other way, under a pretext, like tying shoelaces, searching for something in a car etc. while probably saying a mantra in his mind. Subject will be annoyed for a second maybe and then forget.

It happened to me for the second time within a week, for a dozen times in the last few months. I don't know exactly what happens, but your body has an urge to block back muscles and/or intestinal transit. The pain comes the second day and if not debilitating, it's scary because at this age you start thinking. Organ damaging diabetes, kidneys, pancreas, etc.. It may come with a true blockage of the bile.

To me, statistically proven enough. Don't have direct evidence and probably never will because it's all in their "national" oral tradition of a few. A tradition and a culture defended with the mighty power of US military and paid for the American people.

There is also shin shin shin gan. God's eye and mind. An area of ninjutsu training where they literally learn how to read to you mind (for what's worth it), through awakening of the ancient vibrational communication, common to all vertebrates, an atavism to humans. The bow may be based on that one as well, but just at the beginning of a conversation.

Based on that that may interfere with the subject, guess his next actions, force him to synchronize or out of his thinking cycles like through annoying sound, some coming constantly from as far as the apartment above. The squeaks. Slammed doors in the parking lot. Loading/unloading junk in pickups with unnecessary noise, kids specially trained in yelling for hours, etc.. Unnecessary noise during emptying the bins on Thursdays, with the 20 ton trucks. Blowing the parking lot for hours on Wednesdays with power blowers. Modified exhausts. Trailers going around the complex and hitting all 20 bumps etc..

Basically all activity in the complex is exaggerated, coordinated and targeted towards one single person with the purpose of constantly knocking him out, like in contactless martial arts.

Pareto's Principle

For a long time lately i thought i was cursed to only understand things of the past. Real time thinking was a unattainable task for me anymore. I remember when i was last time in dr.Boboia's office at Providence Scholls, i told her i cannot enjoy anymore anything in the present but only memories, everything else being the present Hell. And she completed with: It's good you have pleasant things to remember or something like that.

Real time thinking is only allowed to people with a thorough understanding of the times and reality they live in. I think.

For the first time in a long time i'm going try to react to a current event other than a response to my own blog posts.

For a few days now the Romanian newspapers keep a news about a mayor of a city in Romania  that seems to me to be home of some radical thinkers. She allegedly plagiarized from an Italian philosopher. I say philosopher because it is a tittle that is separated from the others attached to his Wikipedia entry. Alright. What's the big news? Besides proving one more time how bad is if one is assuming someone's else work, that unfortunately is nothing new?



Then something caught my eye in another Wikipedia entry associated with his name, by clicking on the link above, Pareto's principle. (God i wish my computer and internet was faster, maybe i'm going to order next speed, 20 mbps, right now i only have 7 and i thought the servers are not fast enough for this but i think in 2 years that changed).

Wow. So outdated. So much linked to the time period he lived in. So tributary and inseparable from his momentous state of mind. I thought philosophy, sociology and applied sociology was much more than that. A long time before the current post post-modern age when society was driven by an elite few.

Pareto defines the society he lives in based on some statistics pretending he discovered something.

I'm not going to go further with the analysis of thinking of a grown man who can theorize his own state of mind and make a principle out of it. I suspected for a long time that some educated people can take their own childish understanding of the surrounding reality, twist it a little bit, according to some rule they got obsessed by in some school or acquired through some random experience and make a philosophy out of it and project it in an ideology and give a raison d'etre to many others that simply don't have time or cannot afford the luxury to think. ("forgetting" to apply one of main principles of logic and that is verification through generalization - the main excuse after all could be he was probably mainly educated as an engineer). After all it's a temptation that we all fall in, the return to the innocent mind that allowed us the discovery of this world we live in, before we fell slaves to our own needs.

And start to manipulate their present reality by creating whole schools of thought and actions for those who are vulnerable and tempted because of the failure of other models, or any model that don't match with their state of mind.

The more different their model from current reality, the more radical their means of necessary actions are.

It's not 20-80 anymore. Those elites are gone mostly because of the last 2 WWs. It's everybody giving in and melting their personality into some huge entity and then bowing their egos to it. Some went so far and call this God or the collective subjective conscience that came out from the thinking of a single man 50 years or a century ago just because it fits their current psyche. Or because they think others might have had overlooked it at the time.

An entity that can handle everything for them better than themselves can. Some call it NWO. With its ancestors, communism and Nazism, usually under the form of dictatorships. That can build a whole new reality modeled on a whatever unfinished, unproven theory, like the one mentioned in the alleged plagiarism case above. If it can change the world? Of course it can and probably it already did. Bad luck for us if one of these incomplete theories merged with others of the same kind is the starting point leading historically to our current social reality cause there are probably much better models of reality we can resort to, and some i hope take as starting point our individuality and the presumption we don't have to give it up in order to exist as a society.

It is very intriguing why they brought this in the light of the current news paradigm and into the search engines' cache, and it occurs to me it may be yet another attempt into manipulating us into thinking that this may be a current model they use to manipulate us on daily bases.

I suspect the models currently used in applied computational sociology may very well be generated by computers using data from different digitized sources, even more simplified, similar to those used in modelling in engineering like finite elements, that cannot be understandable by a single human mind, ever changing, or even modelling our thoughts like a long string of Pavlovian reflexes. It might very well be, but it is applicable only for a current state of mind. Depending on a very unique combination of neurotransmitters unevenly distributed in different areas of the brain at a certain moment in time. (But then what is conscience, an illusion?)

Thus the need to continually manipulate the society to make it fit better on whatever theory they think they discovered. And the best way to do it is to keep it continuously in a collective trance or psychosis by creating on-demand, shocking news, and by repeating all kind of mantras, behind closed doors, and resulting in a cult like collective mind set-up. Being all close to the same state of mind would keep us with a similar distribution of neurotransmitters, and similar thought patterns, but it will also cut our minds' and society's natural redundancies. (I remember during communism a very common tendency in all conversations was the generalized need of reaching a consensus.)

Trouble is if they go too far with those and how far and if they can revert it back to human control and understanding. Some are saying we are already on a one way, no return road.

Or could they have brought it to public's attention through a back door like they often do, invoking this plagiarism case they might have constructed themselves so they can keep it in the news to test our reactions because they think they might just have found a new way in which they can apply the magic combination, 20-80, by considering themselves a new elite, based on ideology alone and not on history and inheritance of values, like it used to be during Pareto's time, that might in the future not even needing the rest of us, and trying to replace us with robots? So deja vu, except for the robots part.

But more worrying, these incomplete theories might be just psychological tricks, applied on large scale, letting us think they have a "strong" theory, that would bring humanity in its right place like it has never been before, thus the need for collectively experimenting, flattering to all that adhere to their organization, like through becoming an elite, just to better manipulate the whole of us until they reach their real purpose, whatever that might be though full of good intentions.

There are better ways to deal with individual's integration in a society. It only takes a set of rules and laws. The rules are applied in micro-society, within family and circles of friends. The laws, for the greater society, and as a last resort when one forgets his rules. That lets society grow little by little governed by its own naturally and historically generated principles.

I always asked myself, how can two people live together without giving up something if each can't stand him/her-self, not talking about a society? Is there any way to be part of a group without any giving in his own freedom, individuality and ego, without understanding the simple fact that he/she wants the same as every one of his kind?

How can some attempt to model a society when they could never model a single human brain? And probably we'll never could. (And if they are pretending they already did, please beware of tricks).

Living in a society is so complicated that it takes each a sophisticated, mature mind, a complete connection with the society one lives in, a complete understanding (or simply the wish to) of the rules, laws and the principles of this reality  - paradigm we each see differently.

2:01/12:01 Second hand country... La mintea Cațavencilor... Da, bine, dacă ne mai plângem fraților, poate nu le iau oamenii nici pe astea... Sau poate a fost doar așa o declarație ca să-i enerveze și să le dea apă la moară la fino-ugrici ca să vadă și Europa și lumea ce fac ei dacă se enervează. A doua zi Finlanda a zis că-și ia 64 de F35, cu care țin lejer în șah jumătate de Rusie și jumătate de Europă... Sau poate nu vrem să-i enervăm prea tare pe ruși (în afară de înjurăturile zilnice din media)... Finlandezii sunt și ei în graniță cu rușii.

Au mai discutat ai noștri vreo 6 ani până au luat primele F16. Câte avem acum, 14? Au pornit tot așa, de la vreo 48 iar 6 ani mai târziu au luat primele 9 din Portugalia, în timp ce au lăsat 24 de Mig 29 să ruginească la Constanța sau le-au dat ca piese de schimb polonezilor în timp ce nemții și polonezii le foloseau, "trista moștenire". Eu zic să ne căutăm și un guvern pe net, de la vreo firmă ceva. Cu garanție și manual de utilizare. Poate ne pune cârlanul ăsta tânăr Geoană o pilă la Aspen Institute.

Chiar pe bune, am căutat, n-am găsit guvern de vânzare sau de închiriat (care ar fi oricum ar fi mai bun decât cel de împrumut de acum), dar nu am găsit decât asta... Cum cine să caute guvern pe net? We the people!

Who can tell which is F15 and which is Mig 29?

Two engines, next generation. F22, Typhoon and Rafale. Pyhisical stealth of F22 (and F35) or low radar signature is given by the surfaces that are never perpendicular on radar's direction, reflecting it away (up and down) from emitter (though it becomes vulnerable if enemy "sees" it at certain angles, where it can brieffly "flash" with more radar signature than "clasical" design). Also weapons are kept in a bay, for stealth and aerodynamic reasons giving it supercruise (supersonic flight without afterburners) capabilities at 1.8 mach, vs 1.4, for Rafale giving it more range) and speeds above mach 2 with afterburners (vs 1.8 Rafale).

10:40 There is a thick smoke outside with an pine resin component to mask the smell, an animal droppings component probably other things that makes me tired, nauseated dizzy and will-less. I tried to cover the holes, now the smoke comes from further away. 

10:38 (19) And it wouldn't be fair if i didn't add this. For those who didn't know, built with a fraction of the budget for F22, despite all economic sanctions,

The Story of the Clamp

So far i discovered 4 major weaknesses at my 2013 Hyundai Elantra.

1st. Electronic commanded throttle is vulnerable to dirt (dust + oil). When dirt gets in the bearings of the throttle it changes their behavior. Don't know if anybody every tried. The suction power of the throttle is so great it will pull your hand inside if you try to cover it with your palm while the engine is idling. There is enough force on those two little bearings to create important friction resistance in the bearings if dirt gets in there that would interfere with the usually weak step motors that drives the throttle. The step motor thus may skip steps unaccounted by the computer, or there is a feedback sensor that signals a position that can not be achieved between two steps as prescribed, or in other words, running out of predicted positions. Computer tries to correct that and cannot and that would create an oscillation of the throttle together with an oscillation of the engine that could lead to serious driveability problems at high speed. A little WD40 seemed to cure the problem, for now.
2nd. The top of the radiator with the filler neck is made of composite materials. The radiator cap is too weak and the two threading flaps bend especially if you are careless when you take it out to look at the level and coolant starts leaking. One threading flap is visible in this image appearing closest to viewer. I did not have problems since i sprang those back last summer. However at Jiffy Lube they took the cap to check the level and filled the reservoir. It smells like coolant every time i pop the hood ever since. Also people start coughing in the lot in the very second i pop the hood, but that is another problem, them working on creating false perceptions for those who listen to live streaming sound from cell phones.

3rd. The intake manifold is installed by design the other way around as in the old vehicles. That is under the engine head and in front of the engine. Condensed oil from blow by gases or simply leaking through PCV valve pools at the bottom of the intake. From there, during certain engine stages it starts trickling upwards through the runners in sudden, larger amounts than if it was like in older types, where it flows at more constant amounts contaminating the valves, valve rings and spark plugs.

4th. The intake manifold is made of composite materials instead of metal. The PVC port of the intake is 5/8 inch in diameter. There is no clamp good enough to eliminate any possible vacuum leak at that port when connecting a flexible hose.

Because of the catch can i added to avoid oil getting in the intake i could not use the original hose and spring type clamp that was too week for the hoses i bough at NAPA (fuel line and PCV type).

So far i tried different clamps. Last time i ordered an Amazon a set of 5 different diameters wire clamps (a type also have a little spring action and can adapt to shrinkage of the rubber, to a certain extent) because of price and thinking it will cover any size and surprise. However, when they got in i was surprised that between two of the sizes there is a gap where was missing the exact size i needed.

So i improvised using my experience with clamps for coolant bought at NAPA that were pinching the hose so i had to put a ring made of sheet metal between clamp and hose. But as rubber was giving in i had to tightened them at almost every longer trip (because if i didn't i would get 10% less mpg). And in the end the clamps' thread bent.

And this is where the story comes. I remember i cut the sheet metal for the ring long enough for the two ends of the ring to overlap. In fact, i was afraid that by overtightening the inner end would again pinch the hose. However, when tightening (the next day, after i slept at the hotel) it i was reaching a point of sudden resistance. Mpg was fine in my way there but i assume that after the rubber gave in, it went down. The two ends of the ring under the clamp touched and there was not enough tightening of the hose and vacuum started to leak again (air from outside getting sucked in the intake in an uncontrolled way, bypassing the  throttle). The computer using the sensors senses more oxygen and adds more fuel, beyond the trash-hold of full fuel efficiency. Capisci?
So today i just built another ring and this time i took a picture and put it here before installing to can prove (including to myself) that it overlaps.

February 4th

12:50 How much cheaper and smaller a carrier would be if planes would take of and land like this? Any plane with a thrust/weight ratio slightly greater than one and a thrust vectoring system could do it.

With modern fly by wire systems a software could be designed to do the job of landing again vertically (like Musk's rocket that can land vertically).

But they don't even have to land on the bridge. All they need is to fly like this for a few seconds under a capturing crane.

But think of other advantages. You could raise 10 or 20 of these in the same time. That goes for airports as well. No need for bottleneck runways that are vulnerable to rocket attacks. Keep them in holes underground or under ship's deck. Could carry them on platforms on the freeways and launch them from anywhere.

Could even evacuate them if the ship starts to sink.   

Da, și România a avut 24 din astea (fără thrust vectoring, nu știu dacă puteau fi modificate - upgraded). Au fost vândute ca piese de schimb la polonezi care le au și acum.

Twin Towers Fall

As all hell broke loose today in the media, a myriad of subtle allusions that seem to top many things i've said, the clearest idea just came to mind. First, a question and an answer from Google.

"One World Trade Center and Two World Trade Center, commonly the Twin Towers, the idea of which was brought up by Minoru Yamasaki, were designed as framed tube structures, which provided tenants with open floor plans, uninterrupted by columns or walls. They were the main buildings of the World Trade Center."

And a link to a Google search. Surprisingly, most of the images are misleading, suggesting the load on the outer columns was minimal. They were some interior columns mainly for elevators and air shafts, taking maybe last than a quart of the load.

In a way is similar to the design of unibody cars which have no chassis but a frame made of sheet metal. There are advantages and disadvantages of cars without a chassis. I've once been hit from behind waiting in my truck at an intersection by a small but heavy Nissan Z built similarly to Porsches that is with a heavy chassis. Chassis hitting another chassis both with massive, steel bumpers made my mandible and bones in my spine move a bit from their normal positions which hurt for weeks after. Luckily though i had my foot pressing pretty hard on the break pedal when it happened and i was not pushed in traffic at that intersection. Also, minimal, almost invisible damage to both cars.

If i was in a unibody car, the frame would have bent and suffered damage while the shock would have been minimal.

As i said yesterday as i vaguely remembered reading it a long time ago, the WTC twin towers where designed by the American architect of Japanese descent Minoru Yamasaki in an innovative fashion for skyscrapers at that time. He was given the task after winning a contest against more famous architects. Today i checked and my memory was right.

Towers, instead of having massive columns inside, they were built more like a unibody car or wide bodied plane or most expressively said, like a can. All the resistance was at the outer walls, leaving
more freedom for floor plans.

How innovative this type of design was?

"Tube structures cut down costs, at the same time allow buildings to reach greater heights. Tube-frame construction was first used in the DeWitt-Chestnut Apartment Building, designed by Khan and completed in Chicago in 1963.[4] It was used soon after for the John Hancock Center and in the construction of the World Trade Center."

Among the requirements the towers should have withstood 80 mph winds and an impact of the biggest plane at the time. Probably like all the others.

But there is one difference between the previous and even following tubular structure design of tall building making the WTC design even more innovative. The size of the outer beams. On the same cross section, the load was divided on thinner, more numerous beams, 1 meter apart each. That made them more prone to breaking when the plane crashed through them and more vulnerable to heating by fire.

On September 11 2001 two planes full of kerosene after just taking off hit each tower.

What freedom means for floor plans? Lack of walls allows installing vast areas with cubicles which allowed the fuel from the shredded planes to soak the carpet and furniture and air go get in all the way to the core to feed the fires where about 1/4 of the vertical load of the building lays upon.

Kerosene is a type of fuel that comes out of the distilling process of oil at a temperature between gasoline and diesel. Lighter than diesel fuel, it has more carbon or more energy packed per gallon than gasoline.


Here is a diagram out of the web of continuous oil distillation process.

Heated oil is pumped continuously inside the column and fuels separate by weight and come out continuously from those pipes. The temperature inside the distillation column is higher at the bottom and lower at top to keep the heavier fractions flowing. The fuel fractions separate by weight of the fraction, the more hydrogen and less carbon content of each hydrocarbon fuel fraction distilled, the higher in the distillation tower.

I brought this up because burning carbon gives you more energy per each individual molecules combined than hydrogen. The heavier the fuel, also the more energy per weight it packs. From this point of view kerosene is close to diesel, that is a more energy carrying fuel than gasoline.

I has been speculated a lot on the web about burning temperature of kerosene being lower than melting temperature of iron.

But does kerosene have a precise burning temperature?

Everybody who has ever seen somebody welding with a torch fed with acetylene knows that temperature or volume of flame can both be adjusted. The more oxygen you give to the flame, the higher the temperature.

Now that i think i started to realize there is not a precise burning temperature for anything. What is burning. Combining oxygen and hydrocarbons. Each hydrogen molecule that combines with carbon and hydrogen gives a precise amount of energy, not temperature. Temperature in a fire is dictated by the volume of the burning involved. The more oxygen you have or better said the closer to ideal the mix, the higher the temperature.

"It is unfortunately not too rare to find that fire investigators estimate flame temperatures by looking up a handbook value, which turns out to the adiabatic flame temperature. Statements are then made about whether some materials could have melted, softened, lost strength, etc., based on comparing such a flame temperature against the material's melting point, etc. The purpose of this short paper is to point out the fallacies of doing this, and to present some more appropriate information for a more realistic assessment."

https://www.doctorfire.com/flametmp.html

In a typical open fire you will have burning only at surface surrounding the fuel. That is because oxygen is all being consumed at the surface and cannot reach inside because of the dynamics of hot gas or plasma moving and preventing it from reaching inside and because of being spent there. That's why all the blacksmiths since the beginning of iron age invented and use the bellows.

They also use porous carbon rich coal made of wood that allows air to flow inside their volume after eliminating hydrogen and water from it usually by partially burning it in a low oxygen environment like in sand at high temperature.



They blow air with the bellows like in this video for reaching high temperatures necessary to forge the iron, usually above 771 Celsius or 1420 Farenheit when the iron starts to soften by changing to a different allotropic state, from body-centered cubic (BCC), most resistant (same with diamond) to a face-centered cubic (FCC) which allows movement or slip of crystals on slip planes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(materials_science)

https://www.google.com/search?q=iron+beta+allotropic+temperature

But way before that happens there is another phenomenon happening.

During fabrication of beams through cold roling the steel like any metal hardens (before breaking). This hardening through lamination done by stressing metal is an advantage of cold lamination. But this type of hardening is lost if metal is heated at re-crystallization temperature, which is lower than the temperature stated above.

Hot rolled beams are also hardened during the controlled cooling process.

Both type can loose strength if heated above 260 degrees Celsius through a process called re-growth (of crystals).

Because of the dynamics of the fire, the oxygen from the air in any burning building cannot reach inside if there's something to burn outside first, simply for being consumed. Any firefighter knows it is not a good idea to break windows or open doors if unnecessary, that only bringing more oxygen and intensifying the fire.

With all these being said i think it's easy now for everybody to figure that if the steel towers were designed in a more "classical" fashion, with vertical beams way inside, the air and fire could not have reached to create near the beams the temperatures necessary to weaken them being consumed by the fire in the windows area.

Once the breakage started at one floor, the rest of the building above will start falling reaching enough moving energy to break he floor under. Simply because the outer beams where thicker towards the bottom of the tower, breaking first in the weakest area which was always at the floor under the breakage front. In a way, it was like a controlled demolition, only by design.

Inside the floors they were enough materials like concrete that would put out vast amounts of harmful dust that would cover significant areas around for a long time.

June 26

9:30 Got awaken after 5 hours of sleep (same like the last two nights) around 8 by big noises (like a garbage truck though it's Monday) and then the woman next door was talking yelling on the phone for one hour (yes in Spanish though she is Japanese, i know ninja can do that. Learn foreign languages so well you wouldn't know).

I started to remember what i've done last night. Last passing area before Chevron on 26 when going west towards Mt Hood. There was this semi i was following for at least 15 minutes that was going uphill under speed limit though i think it was empty. Those guys even if the are well maintained, put a lot of carbon dioxide behind especially when going uphill, that usually makes me sleepy.

There were two more vehicles behind it. Those and myself started to pass the truck which went onto the right lane. However instead of slowing down it sped up like they usually do to maybe 65 or more. (Had 75 or when i last looked at speedometer while trying to pass it but was held by the other two).

I know when i started to pass my speed was about 65 with the shifter on automatic, at about 4500 rpm and probably in 4th gear. I don't know exactly why but the truck accelerated after those two guys ahead of me passed it and when passing area ended i was parallel with it and i continued to accelerate until i finally passed it too though it was ft behind me and flashing lights instead of slowing down and when i looked at the speedometer and i was doing 80, uphill.

I read on sites and forums last night that my car has a rpm soft limiter at 6000 rpm when you are in sequential mode, when it shifts gears down automatically (and you loose power when uphill of course) and one at 6500 when you are in automated mode, like i was, when it cuts power to the engine. If that had happened he would have hit me from behind for sure cause it was only ft behind me until i slowly accelerated to 90 and put some distance in between.

If i panicked when i saw it close behind and then flashing, and hit the gas pedal to the floor the car would have shifted back to 3rd, the rpm increasing maybe over 6500 at 90 and the engine would have stopped at that rpm.

How would a semi do 80 uphill, that is another question.

Have no idea what marks that truck had on it, but i'm sure it was caught on the cameras on the freeway and/or seen by other drivers. Or maybe he veered right towards Hood River before reaching the Government Camp area. It was all done intentionally, like so many times recently in all kind of situations, in cooperation with the two other drivers and these guys are criminals that should spend time behind bars.

Similar things happen to me in almost all my trips.

9:58 Saturday night after passing Newberg going east again i was going uphill at 65, passed one guy (a white SUV) that was slower in the right lane when i saw something crossing the street, from the left.

It would have taken too long to lift my foot from gas pedal and hit the breaks so i just veered left in the median lane trying to get behind it which i did, maybe except for its tail, don't know if the guy right and behind me hit it. Seconds later i realized by the white stripes on its back that imprinted on my retina that it was a skunk, the first time ever i saw one. It was pretty big, about the size of a raccoon, but faster.

I apologize for modifying the gear numbers so many times in this post, it was all based on guessing (can't see the gear you're in on the dashboard, only the letter D when in automatic).

12:00 This video shows 4500 rpm at 85 mph in 3rd but it's a different type of Elantra. However if you press on gas hard enough you can very easily downshift one ore two gears and reach 6500 when the the fuel to the engine is cut off. BTW this guy is crazy, he does 170 mph with a flat tire warning on the dashboard. I personally never went over 100 with any vehicle.

12:37 I know what happened back in August 20 2021. The driver who hit me could have pretended i again lost engine power when accelerating over 6500 or whatever rpm, but in that night i was going with speed limit on cruise control on a flat or even a bit downhill area on I5 in 6th gear (fuel efficiency gear) per reason of driving with a spare (right rear).

Only when i saw him very close behind i might have tried to accelerate but it was too late as it would have taken several seconds to shift from 6th to let's say 2nd and even in the 2nd gear could still go faster than 60 which i was going when he hit me (that Elantra was 1.8 engine but was rated at the same 150 hp).

One more thing. The cop called a towing company that refused to tow us for reason of distance (22 miles, wondering why the cop wouldn't tell them on the phone, when he called them, where to). Could one of those two towing guys i talked to while the cop was skillfully recording it audio and video to have been actually the driver of the truck who hit me, pretending he didn't run after all. So i actually i might have talked without knowing, with the help complicity of the cop with my ex would be killer.

3:10 No i didn't. Only now i know what happened, a walk through the relatively clean air also cleared my mind. BTW when i left i poured some more vinegar in the old rusted dog feces contaminated pan under the new water heater and the child actors came and started to yell like swallowed whole by giant serpents. So they did when i passed the camp (the children camp in the park, less than one mile away from down town Tulatin and Martinazi street) they enact every summer.

The mods at the battery. In that day in August 2021 i had poured from days before some JB weld steel reinforced adhesive on top of the nuts of the connectors to prevent them from getting loose, not on the connectors themselves. In fact, during engine running the vehicle is powered by the alternator (and not the battery that acts only as a filter) of which connectors runs through a series of plates on the positive with the negative doubled directly on the body. There was adhesive on the nut of the plates too, but not on or between the contacting plates under.

In that night after the accident and pulling on a street nearby i was casually talking in front of the open hood to the second cop and the driver of the towing truck that refused towing, about those mods.

The current configuration has modifications too, only there is no adhesive involved but only a second system doubling the stock con_nec_tors, actually a redundancy with bypassing and an extra connection to the ground on the negative and again bypassing the stock connector to the plates on the positive, with bolts soldered on top of poles. It is true, i saw yesterday one of the battery poles was a little bent, i don't know why, there is no extra weight on it.

Besides i never had problems with it, on the opposite, it improved vehicle's operation by increasing driveability, mileage and decreasing vibration. I have digital a voltmeter inserted in one of the plugs. Never lost power in years of experimenting with those, then why in that day?

The taillights on every car are build to reflect light and they would have been very visible in the dark when lit with headlights from behind, even if i lost power which i didn't.

In fact on another recent occasion i used the horn as last defense against an attempt of being again hit from behind and the other driver fell back. Now i know why. Horn was showing i had electric power.

But if i accidentally (mis)maneuvered and hit the gas pedal to the floor and hit the 6500 rev limit in 1st gear uphill, it could have looked like i lost electric power. I'm wondering what would have happened if i was wounded in an accident near Mt.Hood, far away from any hospital and ambulance services.

August 23 was only 2 days away and in that day at Les Schwab in Lake Owego i was assisted by a Les Schwab employee that looked like a right wing minister from one of the numerous Iohannis governments, Dan Vilceanu. It is rumored Iohannis has ties with the extreme right in Romania. He told me the tire with the flat i had earlier that day before the accident was unfixable as per a previous defective installation (done at the same shop). He insisted he took the tire in the trunk, where i was hit in that night.

What happens is though they are doing symbolic gestures trying to take credit of what followed that night in front of their right wing audience while the others don't care.

I think it was on May 2020 when driving with the same car, the first day a casino ever opened (Little Creek) after pandemics closure, when i went over a wheel (whole wheel, not shredded tire) exactly in that area, in the middle of the lane. Thing is i did not panic and hit the brakes, the car would have lowered its front (nose dive) and hit it and it barely touched it with some part (cross member i think).

After, i pulled from freeway in the area where she was missing from (not knowing at the time) to check for damages under the car.

In that night at the casino i went to the car several times (to drink of course) and last time i sat in line behind a woman, not unattractive but looking vulnerable, thin and not tall, who kept telling everybody she lost her purse and kept getting out and back in line (for temperature checking) to get in, and she didn't know why. I saw her later in the casino talking with two cops, then why the search that kept going for days?

4:49 This 2019 Elantra is closer to mine. You can realize it's a decent car. As for style, Koreans have a sense for a an elegant minimalism, beating classical Japanese basic pragmatism though lately they all started to look the same.

I think the man was doing 110 on a German autobahn in 5th gear at 6500 rpm (minute 1:58) right before car automatically shifted to 6th. In the US you can see this road quality only on recently paved freeways. Never seen continuous or interrupted lines so straight though confusing at 3:00 due to construction work. Crooked lane lines get you tired, fast. Good thing they also keep you challenged (and alert).

This, at 4:00. They do this to me a lot, slower cars changing lanes when i'm about to pass them. Good thing they didn't do it when he was passing them going 120 mph (193 kmh). And a stinking classic that fills your cabin (and filter) with smoke for the next 5 minutes. I see they're universal.

5:00 Christmass 2019 and 2020. It always happens around anniversaries and holidays. Today was my birthday.

6:30 Never new what steemit was until today when i was searching for his face.

January 13

1:30 Done it. In a couple of weeks i figured how to wire all devices in the apartment and get rid of wi-fi, buying only cables, ethernet to USB adapters (for the laptop and PC that doesn't have an ethernet ports) and using two old routers. One of them is the Netgear cable modem/router wi-fi that i used for the current provider. The other is only a Fios wi-fi/router i wasn't using right now with 4 ethernet output ports and one input. With the first on the right i supply ethernet to the second which has 4 ethernet, 2 USB output ports and acts as only as a switch. I don't mind using them both now in winter cause all the heat adds up to the electric heaters i use right now.

It doesn't look pretty, it will after i hide them under some furniture and reroute the cables. I got 3 devices and 5 useful ports with two to spare.

System monitoring on the Fios router (192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) showing wi-fi disabled. On the other router there is a hardware switch. By clicking on the links you will open your own router page were you can change settings (disable wi-fi or radio etc..) like below. Factory password is either written on the router or is Password, password, pass, etc.. Can change it for better protection. If you changed it and forgot it, can reset the router to factory defaults by pressing the reset button which sometimes is hidden, for a number of seconds. Be careful not to mess with other settings or you will have to be on the... phone with customer service of your provider. Sometimes it takes a while for the cable router to scan channels after a reset.

I invite everybody to get rid of wi-fi (this is easy) and cell phones if possible. At home can use cell phones in a far corner of the room with bluetooth. Can use an app like google voice that comes with a free real phone number that can be called from any phone or fb messenger or anything you want on your wireless disabled laptop.

Most will shut down wi-fi (to save energy) by simply plugging in the ethernet cable or ethernet USB adapter but better check settings.

Switching to wired has an unexpected bonus. Notable speed increase.

Shut the phones down when you put them in your pocket or purse and do the same (use bluetooth) at work. Or at least make an experiment for a month. But full recovery from exposure takes a long time.

Get a landline (with a chorded set). They must be cheaper now.

2:18 Lloyd James Austin III (if  you have doubts look at the tip of the ears, also James - Yoshimitsu)

10:50 Yellen. Based on what. They didn't show us a spending report for the (fiscal) year 2022.

11:33 The bigger picture that includes the laptop with the ethernet/USB adapter (white in the picture) and the hub i used to turn the laptop into a PC with ports for mouse, keyboard and HDMI for the old PC monitor. The two routers and laptop used to be wi-fi emitters, not anymore. There's two more devices attached to the routers still left out of the picture, a 4K TV (with ethernet port) and a all in one PC also with ethernet/USB adapter identical with the one in the picture that also have been quieted down (a total of 5 emitters) and also the monitor. Two routers because the old Netgear cable/modem router only has 2 ethernet ports.

The speed and reliability have increased on all connections. Can attach anything to ethernet, such as tablets for kids using longer heavy duty flexible cables.

Plus the two phones that had both wi-fi and cellular (higher power needed to reach the towers) emitters. A total of 7 + 2 = 9 or a total of up to 5 watts of 2.4 GHz microwave emitters in the tiny apartment. I still take the phone with me everywhere I go for an emergency but is shut down. Plus the 1 watt leak at the "oven".

No there is no such thing as receiving only. The TV emits back continuously to keep a channel open for searches, buffering info etc.. I checked with the meter.

11:55 There is an electric box embedded in the water heater lid on top that gets filled with (possibly dirty) water every time i leave. Otherwise it stays dry for days. I tried to pour water in it and it doesn't go anywhere, there's only foam insulation under that sits pretty tight under the lid that has been poured in the space under the lid during assembly.

I think they figured ways to get in here after i leave. The two bottle sign, two empty bottles attached to the door with fishing line that fall into a different position every time i close the door can be beat. Two guys can do it. One in the back watching through the window and one opening and closing the door as many times as it takes to get them in the same position. It takes a few minutes i guess. Should look odd but who else is here to see but them.

Why would the ninja go through all the trouble to do this. For me to stink everywhere i go. To keep me sick and low key and looking and acting crazy.

1:45 As i was finishing here and getting ready for a walk, having a bit of halva, a desert snack popular in countries like Romania, made of sunflower seeds flour (usually leftovers after pressing out the oil) and sugar, rich in protein, fiber and minerals, very similar to protein bars), the tall blond guy that wasn't here in months, with a dog dressed with a jacket and with green boots came and walked like for 10 minutes around the yard, at one point getting real close to the door.

3:00 When i left i noticed the van had an orange sticker, like my truck used to have many times, though it was parked on a numbered spot. When i got back i felt the smell of heavy smoke from a few buildings away. I  think this time was cocaine, not kratom as usual. There were many holes around the building including one under the door. As i stepped outside, i saw one of the guys with the van in a rare apparition during daytime, possibly playing victim, threatening or both.

As i did my routine, like enlarging the holes a bit with a stick to add borax, there was this guy in an orange hoodie playing loud music and working on a car, giving "probably cause" to the management. Ran out of borax and went inside to get some more, i noticed a cart from the office again passing by in a rare move with two women talking aggressively.

Cart was passing when i got at the door and didn't see much except one of them was dressed in white, like i saw the other day (Monday?) (their uniform used to be black). Didn't have a chance to get some soil from other mounds and cover the slightly enlarged holes filled with borax yet, so the smoke is still around. (How come they didn't feel it?). Will get some more until they leave the area.

3:32 As i am a bit woozy from the smoke, i finished those and the smoke is only remnants that filters are slowly eliminating. Saw a guy passing and putting on the ground an aluminum tubular crotch, like to show me how it's done. I think over the years i have complained of smoke coming from the ground at least one hundred times.

4:00 But if you really really want to have a chance of understanding all my (miss)adventures into the wild wild west i recommend to first read Kafka's books. Kafka was born and his source of inspiration was the infinite Austro-Hungarian ethicless almost inhuman Asian style bureaucracy and attitude towards small and insignificant persons. Or the same, Clavell's Shogun with the infinite labyrinth-like narrative. A bonus of reading these books will be life will look to you so much more beautiful after.

6:30 Apropo de pozele de mai sus.

11:46 Living is easy with eyes closed.

11:48 Ok mi-am făcut curaj să scriu (niște paragrafe mai lungi) despre ce am mai pățit în seara asta. În timp ce făceam mâncare am băut și am adormit și m-am trezit pe la zece. După ce m-am hidratat cu mult ceai (de frunze de afine pentru diabet) mi-a venit chef de o plimbare (aveam ceea ce eu numesc o mahmureală plăcută, sunt și dintr-astea).

Am deschis ușa iar în parcare a venit cu un viraj rapid și cu farurile de Xenon în ochii mei tipul de sus. Am închis ușa fiindcă nu vreau să dau față cu el, că mă tem să nu-i spun ceva ce voi regreta după, fiindcă mă înnebunește cu mersul pe tavan (noaptea trecută la 4). Am așteptat să-l aud pe scări și sus scârțâind ca să știu că a urcat, dar după zece minute, nimic. Am rugat-o pe Angela să deschidă ușa și a văzut că nu-i în mașină. Un scârțâit scurt a confirmat. Deci se poate și fără zgomot.

De ce m-a păcălit. Ca să aibă timp nebunii să se pregătească. Am pornit, două mașini m-au chiorât în parcare, cu faruri albe modificate (cu LED aftermarket) și/sau defecte, fază mare, etc.. Când am trecut de clădirea a doua, dintr-un balcon, un câine (părea un ogar cenușiu dar cu capul mai mare și mai rotund) a lătrat doar o dată. Atât de tare încât nu am auzit în viața mea un asemenea lătrat. Peste 100 dB. Ok, nu am făcut atac de inimă, dar aveam o senzație ciudată, în tot corpul care m-a ținut 5 minute după.

Când am ajuns în stradă (după 5 minute de mers în complex) deja se adunaseră. Un SUV uriaș cu faruri și roți cât butoaiele a demarat show-ul în zgomot de eșapament modificat. Nu știu dacă aveți prin România asemenea chestii, părea ca de la monster jam, cu eșapament modificat la motor de 7 litri și roți cât butoaiele care se bălăngăneau puțin ca niște baloane moi.

Jocul se numește enervați-l de moarte pe jidanul Dracula dictatorul galactic Xenu.

Și au mai venit după, cu zecile la ora aia pustie (10:30 seara) mașini mai de stradă dar au făcut cam la fel. Zgomot, fum și lumini orbitoare în ochi. M-am enervat normal, mi s-a inflamat mucoasa nazală și am început să respir greu, dar stimulat de nervi. Când am ajuns în casă și m-am calmat, am constatat că am o greutate în respirație și am deschis gura ca să respir pe gură, dar mi-a trebuit cam jumătate de oră să mă recuperez.

Cine sunt. De câte ori m-am căznit și am reușit să-i zăresc în asemenea situații, când de obicei au geamuri fumurii, tot ce am putut să deslușesc a fost fețe de hikikomori urâți din Japonia, uneori cu mustețe din alea ridicole cum nu le stă bine la japonezi, încercând să pară nu știu, poate mexicani. De aceea nici nu mai încerc să întorc capul, sunt greu de văzut dar știu cine sunt. Însă mașinile sunt aranjate să pară ca de americani mai de la țară așa.

12:34 Vreți să știți toate fazele cu Pat Benatar? Eram în anul II și plecam de la Câmpulung la Iași. Pe tren (acceleratul Iași Timișoara Iași) era de servici chiar nașul și vecinul meu (Jean Constantin) deci nu aveam bilet (cred că de aici a început expresia și poate din păcate obiceiul). Stăteam în compartiment față în față cu ea, era dintr-o gașcă ce veneau din Ardeal. Micuță și nu prea, "studentă la Farmacie" îmbrăcată într-un palton maro destul de ponosit, nu prea vorbea și părea cam supărată (de fapt așa pare ea de obicei nici în video-uri nu prea zâmbește).

La un moment dat s-au ridicat toți și au plecat la vagonul restaurant și au lăsat-o în compartiment ca un bagaj (bine acum știu de ce). La care eu, gentleman, am invitat-o la vagonul restaurant unde am cheltuit banii de bilet normal iar nașul a trecut și pe acolo, cu o privire dojenitoare.

Stăteam în gazdă în Păcurari 33, la demisol, în casa unui fost coleg de liceu (ce semăna cu Ron Lauder, dar mult mai tânăr, nu se putea). Eram în pat și ascultam cu ea muzică grecească (făcusem o pasiune pe atunci) și a venit Cătălin colegul meu de gazdă (un balerin din Pecs care semăna cu Paul McCartney) și a aprins lumina, nu a zis nimic, era încruntat, a luat ceva și a plecat. Ea s-a dus și a stins lumina înapoi dar eu mă enervasem deja. Pe atunci aveam într-adevăr minte de copil. După câteva zile s-a întâmplat faza cu fostul ei prieten.

Acu vreo lună două în Lincoln City. Eram cu Angela în parcare la Roads End și mâncam salată de cartofi (un fel de salată orientală cu puțin zahăr) cu salam italian (o tradiție) și beam vin, toate de la Grocery Outlet și admiram apusul în ocean. La radio începe să cânte o melodie cu ea (că altfel nu mă prindeam). Vine o tipă cu o bicicletă cu pantaloni mulați ca în video și chiar o geacă neon verde, se pune în fața mașinii noastre să vadă și ea apusul.

(Nu știu de ce aici am un deja vu, parcă am mai scris sau gândit sau văzut odată chestia asta, poate în urmă cu 40 de ani).

Era însă bicicletă ca de bărbați cu bară și la un moment dat și-a băgat bara între picioarele care încă arată de la distanță cam la fel ca în video (73 de ani reali). A apus soarele și a plecat. Faza s-a mai repetat și în altă ocazie. Cred că încerca să-mi amintească faza cu lumina stinsă și aprinsă din 82 de la Iași. Ceea ce m-a provocat să scriu acum.

Dar atunci în tren nu e prima dată când am dat nas în nas cu ea. Tot în tren, veneam în vacanță de la Iași, eram prin ultimul an de liceu cred. O tipă tot așa, mai micuță, serioasă, stătea pe culoar lâng mine și la moment dat m-a întrebat unde cobor. La Câmpulung. "Nu vrei să mă ajuți, am acasă o sobă cu motorină și nu știu s-o pornesc". Era o iarnă frumoasă cu multă zăpadă. Teoretic, puteam să-mi las bagajul cu rufe murdare la bagaje de mână și să merg. Însă părea puțin speriată, mai în vârstă (Maria Zempleni e cu 11 ani mai în vârstă decât mine), expresia de pe fața ei nu coincidea cu intenția declarată și arunca priviri ca pentru consultare către un alt tip mai încolo pe culoar. Am refuzat politicos și cu regret.

Azi am pomenit-o prima dată fiindcă scriam ceva și au pus o melodie de-a ei la radio ce avea legătură ciudată cu ce scriam și m-am enervat.

Dacă regret ceva de atunci. Promisiunile vieții din anii 70 în România și cum a devenit totul un coșmar după 83.

Știu acum. Trapped  by your love. Chained to your side. Zempleni. "Xenu also spelled Xemu". Zamolxes, Zymase etc.

January 21

12:03/10:03 Tous les mêmes... Abia ce am scris despre faptul că în SUA nu poți să ai job fără mașină...

2:29 Many have been written about Pearl Harbor... Here's one more...

9:12/7:12 Pe asta n-am văzut-o... Apropo, credeți că este întâmplătoare cerința lui Putin ca Bulgaria și România să fie retrase din NATO? Tocmai ce am spus care cred că este motivul pentru care românii nu pot călători în SUA fără vize, iar Bulgaria este în aceeași situație. A și o chestie... De ce nu și Ungaria?

10:20 I made a meatloaf and put the picture here, two days ago...

12:30 Soundgarden (Black Hole Sung Band) bassist.

12:53/10:53 A și încă o diferență mare între SUA și România. În SUA nu poți face plângere penală. Poți cel mult să te duci la poliție (locală), cea de stat are jurisdicție numai pe highways și freeways în afara localităților sau la șerif care e pe county (comitat, echivalent județ, sector) și să te plângi, dar nu în scris. 

Și primarul, de care aparține poliția locală și șeriful sunt aleși. Te duci acolo, este un telefon, vorbești cu dispecerul, te așezi pe un scaun și aștepți, dispecerul cheamă un polițist de pe teren, care vorbește cu tine, ia niște notițe, îți dă un număr de caz și cam atât. Sau poți suna la numărul de ne-urgențe și vine polițistul acasă, ceea ce nu e confortabil pentru tine fiindcă dacă el se simte neconfortabil mai duce și mâna la pistol din când în când, în funcție de tonul conversației, (până se convinge că nu ești violent, de obicei la sfârșit). Dacă polițistul nu consideră, plângerea nu merge mai departe.

9:19 About several days ago (when the guy upstairs moved back) i wrote about filling some holes with soil taken from near the hydrant. Apartment just filled with smoke, went outside and saw the holes collapsed again. For moment i just stepped and plugged the holes, but now soil is pushed deeper. It's like someone or something is stealing the soil, from underground. I was thinking of going and taking some soil to fill them, However, the same minivan that have been here for months, several hours a day (i saw it driven by Japanese people, men and women), is there, in the middle of the alley, flashing yellow lights and don't feel like it.

Got a big problem with a tooth, i need an extraction, and like usually, it became apparent at the beginning of the weekend. And i'm mad at myself, because i just discovered that the "not so infected tooth" caused other problems in the last 6 months, like pains in shoulders that started after exercise and never went away completely, knee hurt working on car that never heals, etc.. 

The tooth pain was vague enough for me to decide not to go to the dentist until i realized, yesterday the link. In Romania, they call it rheumatism, but it's actually bacterial infection spread from teeth in most vulnerable or vaguely injured parts of your body. But today. What happened today. After hours of feeling like chocking in here, with my hands cold (heart failure) per cause of some sort of ninja engineered mold, i went outside. Didn't really wanted, but people yelling, moving furniture, at first entrance, handywoman coming from the next entrance made me climb to the other alley, between building and garages. But then i discovered in the mulch 2 dog poos, other items, among them a small bottle with something that could have been medicine. Walk did me good, my hands started to heat up, but now i have an extra bug in my tooth that took off.

9:53 Today i also remembered something. The unusual looking guy, tall though Asian, dressed in an uniform, who was leading the team of guys spreading the redwood chips. Red Bark. Figure. I talked to him asking not to put too much like last time. I'm pretty sure he looked like this guy.

9:54 Just saw a 2006 documentary on Amazon. "Who killed the electric car?". I will summarize it with my own words, but you can read about in Wikipedia or simply see it. Here's the link to the trailer on youtube. EV1. Subliminal for evil?

I didn't know GM, under pressure from a California law, manufactured in 1996 a limited number of electric cars, all leased in California. For the purpose of testing the market, themselves came with the conclusion they weren't worth it. "There was no demand,  too expensive and underperforming" they said in the end when the leases ended and cars were taken back from regretful customers) (not mass produced, everything is more expensive). Other manufacturers including Toyota had similar projects.

With nickel metal hybrid batteries, they had an autonomy of 70 miles and went at California speeds of 80-90 mph. Enough for daily commute, though kinda small when compared to the gigantic SUVs some like to drive. Small trunk.

Enough to say. My own 98 Chevy S10 made in cooperation with Isuzu, had an electric version. For a bad rap?

Thing is they delayed the electric revolution by 20+ years.

One thing. You can see in this movie how real Californians look (or looked like). Not the Hollywood type. Not Tom Hunks or Schwarzenegger no uh-huh.

10:46/8:46 Din cauza terenului. Imaginați-vă cum ar fi tunelul, viaductul și în general o autostradă în zona aceea. Mult mai scump de construit, impact mai mare asupra mediului. Gaura aceea în munte ar fi de zece ori mai mare (ca suprafață secțiune), la fel și viaductul, etc..

Iar am scris de Szijjártó, prietenul rușilor, iar a venit "Predoiu" cu SIIJ. Chestiile astea mă deprimă.

11:13 Simona Halep, ceva mereu de văzut printre alte știri. De ce ne mai trebuie carnaval la Rio dacă avem tenis feminist?

11:31/9:31 Adică o treime din actorii și cântăreții din Ungaria sunt în străinătate, făcând pe politicienii și oamenii de afaceri.
