  • I’ve been lucky enough to see the real deal in deposition layering testing and research for chip making. From clean-room methods stricter than bio and radiological test lab standards to seeing the wafers with a shimmer even more gorgeous than diamonds to me. It’s so far beyond

    We just ain’t going to manage to make that a nation-wide mainstay. We might be able to have started to approach the technical side of things if investments and education were started in the early 90s, but our culture just isn’t up to snuff to keep it going. So much of a society’s culture bleeds into business, and damn do they have it locked down where it needs to be.





  • You know, from a policy and leadership standpoint I can sort of enjoy the process behind working to combat racially prejudiced policy, adopting new and better cultural shifts in existing organizations, being able to foster real appreciation for the American ethos of appreciation of our neighbors, the real melting pot our society is.

    Being able to meet someone where they are and enrich their lives through real exposure of different ideas, these their beliefs, and work with them to bring themselves into the modern world is an honestly wonderful experience. One of my favorite memories was a student I had helped to learn half a decades worth of missing reading skills. Young man went from constantly belligerent to anyone and everything around him, slowly to being self confident, more open with people around him, and just be himself. Sure, not the universal experience with the ignorant, can’t teach and old dog new tricks and all that.

    But this shit? It’s just so deeply demonstrative of a small man.







  • Nothing like 40 years of political maneuvering and policy influence throughout a system of government to unravel.

    Small consolation, while many work to also influence local offices and political bodies to properly prop up their power, it’s also some of the easiest areas to get your foot in the door and make change yourself.

    Hell, even under the Putin regime, opposition thrives in areas like schoolboards and townhalls, they tend not to be the ones thrown out windows. Just high enough to make a difference, too small to be noticed.

    Lol unless the industrial complex keeps growing surveillance and monitoring without hard laws put in place, in which case oh well.


  • Haha helps not viewing it dead tired. Totally see where you were coming from there. It is an interesting point to make, especially given most view the need for IP protection for an individual or firm to extend only within reach of that party. Some are often enforced where common overlap occurs, like I could build surfboards under the name Tide and the soap people can’t do jack.

    Yet, books long out of circulation and print are still given full protection. If copyright technically allows home movie showing to extend to streaming, why isn’t allowing home vcr recordings of tv movie broadcasts extended to downloading online streams given the actual method of data transfer is indistinguishablen from just watching it.

    Shame that general priorities in law and policy are uh, what they are, I honestly would’ve loved seeing this stuff explored in the courts more, over just giving priority interest to corporations lol.
