Lenin: For socialism is merely the next step forward from state-capitalist monopoly. Or, in other words, socialism is merely state-capitalist monopoly which is made to serve the interests of the whole people and has to that extent ceased to be capitalist monopoly. There is no middle course here. The objective process of development is such that it is impossible to advance from monopolies (and the war has magnified their number, role and importance tenfold) without advancing towards socialism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

How Pyrolysis Oil Helps Combat the Energy Crisis
As the global demand for energy surges and concerns over fossil fuel depletion grow, alternative energy solutions are no longer a luxury—they are a necessity. One such emerging solution is pyrolysis oil, a synthetic fuel derived from waste materials like plastics, used tires, and oil sludge. Far from being just a waste management technique, pyrolysis offers a compelling answer to both environmental pollution and energy insecurity.
What Is Pyrolysis Oil?
Pyrolysis oil, also known as bio-crude or synthetic oil, is produced through a process called pyrolysis—thermal decomposition of organic materials at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. This method breaks down long-chain polymers in plastics, rubber, and hydrocarbons found in oil sludge into smaller, energy-rich molecules. The end product is a dark, viscous liquid that can be refined into fuels like diesel, gasoline, or even used directly in industrial burners.
Waste-to-Energy: A Dual-Benefit Approach
One of the most compelling aspects of pyrolysis oil from plastic or tire pyrolysis machine is its dual impact:
Waste Reduction: Mountains of non-biodegradable plastic, millions of scrap tires, and toxic oil sludge are growing concerns for urban environments and ecosystems. Pyrolysis not only diverts these materials from landfills and incinerators but repurposes them into something valuable.
Energy Recovery: Instead of letting energy-rich waste decompose or pollute the environment, pyrolysis captures their embedded energy. A single ton of plastic waste, for example, can yield roughly 700–900 liters of oil.
Role in Alleviating the Energy Crisis
Pyrolysis oil can play a crucial role in easing the global energy crunch in several ways:
Alternative to Crude Oil: As a substitute for diesel or heavy fuel oil, pyrolysis oil can power generators, industrial machinery, and even vehicles after proper refinement.
Decentralized Energy Production: Small-scale pyrolysis units can be established near waste sources, reducing transportation costs and supporting energy generation in remote or underdeveloped areas.
Energy Security: Countries that lack natural fossil fuel reserves can reduce dependence on imports by tapping into their own waste resources, promoting energy independence.
Environmental and Economic Upsides
Beyond energy production, pyrolysis oil offers other strategic benefits:
Lower Carbon Footprint: While not entirely carbon-neutral, pyrolysis oil emits fewer greenhouse gases compared to traditional fossil fuels, especially if produced using renewable energy sources.
Job Creation and Local Economies: Establishing pyrolysis plants supports green job creation in engineering, operations, logistics, and environmental management.
Scalability and Flexibility: From large municipal setups to mobile containerized units, pyrolysis technology can scale according to the volume of available waste.
Conclusion
Pyrolysis oil represents a powerful synergy between waste management and energy generation. By transforming plastic, tires, and oil sludge from environmental liabilities into energy assets, we not only reduce pollution but also gain a new tool in the fight against the energy crisis. It’s not a silver

We do not have a problem of civil disobedience in this country we have a problem stemming from civil obedience....
Blind, unquestioning obedience to authority has been the linchpin of all genocides and oppression throughout human history...
Adolf Hitler, Mao and Joseph Stalin...
It is doubtful that if any of these three men ever committed a single murder by their own hand...
It was blind obedience to their authority, by young men in uniform who thought themselves to be virtuous, just "following orders" or "just doing their duty"...
We are at a critical time in the history of humanity...
It is time to stand up and be counted or humanity is doomed to come to an abrupt end within a decade.-Gary Williams

May 15, 2025 @ 20:57 Good evening family & friends❣️ I guess the day got away from me, I'm not sure how and don't remember much about my afternoon once we got home, but I realized just after 20:00 that I hadn't yet posted my 2 posts for today even though I had been operating under the assumption all day that I had...SHEESH!!! So I got those finished up and now here I am - with or without my brain, I'm not sure at the moment hahaha! It was quite hot today, I am still learning how to keep this house cool (since we moved in in late Oct last year); today was my best test so far. I'm sure the new curtains to diffuse the morning sun through the kitchen window helped, and we kept the south-facing back door closed also. Once we had some shade at the front of the house (north) I opened the living room window a few inches and put the fan in front of it to pull that shade-cooled air in; I had the fan aimed up toward the kitchen ceiling. Anyway, it worked quite well! Tonight we are expecting some severe storms with tornado risks so I will probably stay up late to keep an eye on the Michigan Storm Chasers who are now reporting that these storms are starting to reach land from Lake Michigan; it will take a couple of hours to cross the state and reach us, I think. So I will see you guys in the morning, Lord willing...sleep well❣️🙏🥱🌛💤

welp i took a diversion tonight and installed some better lighting in my abrasive blasting cabinet.
what i can say about harbor freight tools is that they're good for people who don't value their time. most of their tools require some tweaks or improvements to be actually usable.
i am getting ready to sandblast this acura steering knuckle casting and decided i couldn't deal with the weak little fluorescent lamp in there so i put some LED strips in there instead.
if you have one of their blasting cabinets, you'll want to do that, and also install a bottom siphon feed tube instead of their dumb little pickup tube. after those 2 mods it becomes actually usable
Reason why I focus on Jewish culpability for Palestinian genocide(rather than abstract "Zionist" culpability), is not because I want to feel morally righteous(I am flawed⇒I cant be morally righteous), but because without honest accounting for massive crimes like Genocide & deflecting accountability by playing "antisemitism" definitional games, we allow similar/worse crimes more likely to happen in the future
Accountability requires honesty.

Wonderful.
#Reddit decides to give me a three-day ban for the following:
- Discussion talking about rolling coal and how truck drivers that modify their trucks to "roll coal" are basically assholes.
- Lawyer chimes in and says technically rolling coal on somebody is assault but good luck getting that proved because an assault has to have "harm".
- To which I reply with the following hypothetical:
-- Say the victim has asthma
-- They get "coal rolled".
-- They have a serious asthma attack as a result
-- Severe asthma attacks can be fatal if not treated
-- Vitim dies.
-- Now the driver could be charged with voluntary manslaughter! (I would hope because choosing to roll coal on someone is clearly a voluntary act.)
-- Me: "Sucks that someone has to die first though for that [being prosecuted] to happen."
And for this Reddit has given me a three-day ban for threatening violence.
Reddit has so far gone off the deep-end it's like a fucking different universe over there.
There was not one single thing in my original comment that threatened or called for any violence.
So I go to do an appeal and they only give you 250 characters (not even a fucking tweet's worth) to make your case.
So I basically told them to read this. That this is my fucking appeal.
Think it'll help? I doubt it.

Lenin: The dialectics of history is such that the war, by extraordinarily expediting the transformation of monopoly capitalism into state-monopoly capitalism, has thereby extraordinarily advanced mankind towards socialism. Imperialist war is the eve of socialist revolution. And this not only because the horrors of the war give rise to proletarian revolt—no revolt can bring about socialism unless the economic conditions for socialism are ripe—but because state-monopoly capitalism is a complete material preparation for socialism, the threshold of socialism, a rung on the ladder of history between which and the rung called socialism there are no intermediate rungs. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

in reply to ILoveBlueSky • • •— a naturopath friend recently recommended this tincture and I’ve found it quite effective the last few months to help clear both cold and allergy symptoms.
My understanding with herbs like this is to only take them for a few weeks, then stop for at least that much time, in order to maintain maximum effectiveness.
