I had an experience wearing a red hat too! It was a hat I bought from the golf course while traveling. I was loading my clubs back into the rental car and this dude drove his jeep up behind my car, mean mugging me. When I turned to face him he saw the front said "san Marco golf course" or whatever, instead of maga, and quickly drove away. His face changed so quick when he realized his mistake. I wore that hat for a long time after that.
One method of producing hydrogen without electrolysis is to react water with aluminum. The problem is that aluminum forms a passivation layer of an oxide, similar to rust, but it stays on the surface and stops aluminum underneath that passivation layer from reacting.
One method of stopping that passivation layer from being created is to make an alloy of gallium and aluminum. Aluminum reacts with water and gets used up, but most of your gallium drops out and can be reused. You are essentially burning aluminum in water and burning hydrogen in the tank.
I don't know the economics of a setup large enough to run a car or how many cycles you can run before needing more gallium, but it is a new and different idea than I have seen in the past.
Oh, as an investment in a world with internet, I can understand crypto being the gold coin of the digital world. Gold/ silver are already mine and processed at this point. If I want a silver coin in a world without internet and electricity I can trade blacksmith work for it. I can trade home grown potatoes for it. I guess I'm a bit of a doomer. As far as investments...DWAC at $14 a share was good enough for me. So was SBUX at $6.
But I can go to my local farmer/butcher, or pay a laborer with the right metal. He can spend that metal to buy firewood or heading oil. Can you do that with crypto? Send it via Bluetooth and charge your device with solar I guess?
If they know you have wealth and you don't turn it over it doesn't matter if it is physical or crypto, they'll treat you the same. I agree that crypto is safer from theft, but you're relying on a lot of technology remaining available to use it.
Should have said yes, got on the chair, continued the conversation about how you had to because you never had the disease as a kid. Then say, "oh...I thought you meant the new chicken pox vaccine. Nah, I didn't do those mrna shots." Let him jump off of the chair if he wants.
I want to see that.
