Random Thoughts
Just a few random things to share.
Sometimes I get interested in something and
find it took a little effort to understand what I needed /
wanted to know. If it took me
effort to get it figured out, it would most likely require
effort for someone else. Sometimes I write something
up about it to share with others and sometimes it is written
up so I can refer to it later and not need to repeat the
same effort to understand it again. The information
her is not related in any way and is just a collection of a
few random things.
Understanding how the Fractional Reserve Banking System worked
at the base level interested me after watching
Zeitgeist the
movie and addendum. After looking up some information on
it I found the concept was fairly simple yet deceiving at the
same time. Some of the inherent negative aspects of the
system are not understood by most people.
A light meter can say a new light is brighter than the old one
but to your eyes, the light appears dimmer and is more difficult
to work in. Imagine
trying to get a brighter light for your work area to meet local
codes. Now imagine getting that new light installed, having
the light meter tell you the new light is brighter meeting local
codes but your eyes see the light as dimmer, and is more
difficult to work in due to eye strain. This is not as
uncommon as you might think. There is a real explanation for
this.
The BluuBull stove is my version of the classic alcohol stove
for backpacking. I used it for a few years and liked it.
There were no moving parts or seals to go bad, burned very clean
using
denatured alcohol, was light
weight, compact and never failed. However, started using
the Jet Boil
Stove. These archived pages show what it is,
how to use it and a few other details. The pages also
describe in great detail how to make your own if you so choose.
Enjoy.
