I have been thinking about this for 24 hours now.
MY cleaning lady quit. She gave me 4 weeks notice.
(First, could she have been ANY MORE AWESOME???)
She told me why in her broken polish.
I called and talked to her daughter for 80 minutes to be sure things are ok, anything that I can do, etc.
Reasons?
She is old and sick and can not get health care in america.
She struggles to pay the bills, she is 60 and life is just too hard.
Her long term boyfriend of 17 years died suddenly.
Solution?
She is going back home to Poland, where she will have access to great healthcare. Cheaper housing. A better life.
Her daughter and I rage about the "illegals" STEALING OUR JOBS? No ... no they are not ... they are stealing zero jobs.
(You dont think that it is zero? Would you take a below minimum wage job, back breaking labor, no vacation, no sick days, no insurance, no retirement, nothing - work or starve. Do you know any Americans who would take these jobs??)
IF every illegal selfie deported tomorrow, the US could collapse overnight.
And the deficits would rise (skyrocket?). Seriously, these people pay taxes and get nothing in return.
Giving her a nice retirement bonus.
(Seriously, you pay your cleaning lady vacation pay, right? Think about that for a second or two.)
Also gave her the name and number of a GOOD LAWYER.
God knows what will happen while she is self-deporting.
Time to given more money to ACLU and PPH.

recycling
Lou
you can analyze the topic in a variety of ways
1) net energy
2) net co2/green house gases
3) pure capitalism - aka money
HANDS DOWN, recycling any and all metals is a win-win-win. So we are not talking metals. period.
the rest, recycling is a loss, in every dimension
landfill?? rofl
that is a made up problem ...
(quick thought experiment for proof? why do states have laws making it illegal to use out of state dumps that are cheaper? they spent stupid amounts of cash on local expensive dumps, and dont want to lose the money)
co2?
the "cost" of both curbside, or personal drop off of plastics and papers exceed the savings.
energy?
SHUDDER
collection or drop takes ENERGY .... more than what is saved over just using new ...
STRANGER STILL
RE USE
RE USING IS win win win win win
except that is out of favor ... BAH
Penn and Teller did a funny Bullshit episode on this topic.
And while they are comedians, and the show was for entertainment, the facts that they presented ARE FACTS!!!!
Watch the episode, it will lead to FACTS that you can research and debate.
And they started the episode kind of PISSED, they were PISSED that they had to burn one of their own sacred cows to the ground.
but go ahead and recycle if it makes you "FEEL GOOD"
shudder ...
FYI ... really funny FACT ... we are not running out of anything. zero.
Julian Simon has an AMAZING work called "the ultimate resource" (and a side work called the STATE OF HUMANITY)
Every single time that anything has become SCARCE, we have replaced it with something else that is more plentiful, or found NEW methods to extract even more.
Dont get me started on fraking. That is POLITICS.
Fucking Cheney loophole of death.
OK, and earthquakes are bad, but it is OK, so I am OK with it. ()ahahha()
pick oil - pick Huberts PEAK OIL (which I read cover to cover, GREAT SCIENCE NERD READ)
He ignored the "idea" that we would find/exploit new technology.
Do you know about the Paris Oil basin? or how much oil there is in siberia? We literally will never, ever run out of oil.
(there is DIFFERENT question, which is safety (deep water/BP cheated,lied and stole, bush let them, so they fucked up))
same for anything that you can name ...
YES, pollution is a problem, that we have SHOWN that we know how to deal with. trivially. EPA cleaned our water and air ... and they have been working to clean the ground.
Good thing trump will fix all of that. shudder .....
IN THE END, recycling is the perfect counter to the we are flexible, unlike the GOP. it is just one of "our" blind spots.
meh, at least until last nov, we were moving forward again, slowly.
look at the MASSIVE increase in solar and wind, at home and around the world ... blah blah blah
I need a nap

2017 02 23 - bdu again trying to build loader
fuck fukc fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
http://www.win-raid.com/t2375f25-Guide-NVMe-boot-without-modding-your-UEFI-BIOS-Clover-EFI-bootloader-method.html
this "worked" so far .... was able to BOOT to USB ....
nothing else ... trying on desk top ...
wooot
Extract BDU.
Installation:
1.
Insert the USB flash drive or SD-card into your machine.
2.
Open up BDU. (Boot Disk Utility)
2a.
Select your flash drive/harddisk. (For internal SATA-Devices, you need to go to Options > Configuration > Enable Fixed Disks > OK.)
2b.
Softly click on "Format Disk" and wait for the magic.
2c.
When it's done, check if you can see a 200MB Partition in your Windows Explorer with files in it. If that's not the case, BDU failed. (This happened to me sometimes, when fooling around with different bootloader/filesystem-settings. Just boot a linuxbased distribution with (g)parted and wipe all partitions + create a ntfs filesystem on it. Else Windows f%#&s around.)
3.
Access your Cloverstick via Explorer.
3a.
Copy \EFI\CLOVER\drivers-Off\drivers64\NvmExpressDxe-64.efi...
...Legacy BIOS: to \EFI\CLOVER\drivers64\
...UEFI: to \EFI\CLOVER\drivers64UEFI\
NOTE to Legacy BIOS users: In case that it won't work like this, copy it to both folders. I can't tell you if it will work like described. You can check if the driver is loaded properly by opening the Clover-EFI-Shell and just typing "drivers". It should be listed at the very end.
3b.
Additional:
Edit \EFI\CLOVER\config.plist with your favorite Editor.
Change the value:
Timeout
5
to something lower, like 1-3 seconds. Just change the number.
Example:
Timeout
3
4.
Reboot your machine and enter your BIOS/UEFI.
4a.
Legacy BIOS: Change your bootorder. Setup the freshly created stick as primary boot device.
UEFI: If possible, disable CSM or change the Storage Oprom to "UEFI only". Change your bootorder. Setup the freshly created stick as primary boot device.
4b.
Exit and Save Changes.
5.
Attach your Windowsinstallation media.
6.
Boot into the Clover-EFI bootloader.

2017 02 21 - trying to boot to my stupid drive NMVE
HOW TO DO IT DERP
http://mrlithium.blogspot.com/2015/12/how-to-boot-nvme-ssd-from-legacy-bios.html
step 1 - clean the drive, make efi-boot
1. Create a small FAT32 partition like ~100MB on the NVME drive as partition 1. (not under 32MB or FAT32 won't work - i think windows has some larger-than32mb but less-than100mb abnormal minimum limit before it refuses to format, just stick to 100MB). Name it something like "EFI BOOT" for good measure. Assign it a drive letter to be able to access it. Make it Active.
C:\> diskpart.exe
DISKPART> list disk
DISKPART> select disk 4
DISKPART> clean (start fresh: removes any partitions/the MBR. skip if needed)
DISKPART> convert mbr (starting fresh: initializes disk as MBR. skip if needed)
DISKPART> create partition primary SIZE=100
DISKPART> list partition
DISKPART> select partition 1
DISKPART> format fs=fat32 label=efi_boot
DISKPART> assign letter=K
DISKPART> active
DISKPART> exit
step 2 - clone C drive to remaining space, etc
ugh - current cloning software wants to OVERWRITE the NEW K partition .. no no no no no
FUCK time to find a different method/software/etc
fuck it new software time
