That\'s \"buy again\" not a particular item.




I bought one. I suppose you can\'t figure out how to do that.

You probably wouldn\'t enjoy it anyhow. It\'s pretty technical.

The issue at hand is not very technical at all and you can\'t figure it
out.

Have you been hiding under a rock for the last few decades?

I don\'t know of a state or a city that has made cigarette sales
illegal, or that prosecutes sellers for murder. Quite the contrary,
all branches of government welcome the tax revenue and ignore the
details about dying of lung and throat cancer.

The Feds get about $12 billion a year from tobacco tax. That works out
to about $24,000 per death.


Deaths (and economically more importantly, tobacco-related illness)
costs society far more than that. Tax revenue from tobacco makes
tobacco less costly to society, but doesn\'t come close to making a profit.

Tobacco is not outlawed across the world simply because too many people
are addicted to it, and few governments are willing to go against that
many of their citizens.

But in most modern countries there has been a steady push from the state
to reduce tobacco usage. This includes raising taxes, putting warnings
on packaging, raising age limits, banning smoking from various places, etc.

No doubt in the USA there is a random collection of laws that varies
wildly from state to state

Not random. Rather, what the citizens of each state want.

Don\'t be so laughably naïve.

Even in a working democracy, laws are not made to match what citizens
want - that is only one small factor in all the influences that go into
law-making. (And that\'s a good thing, of course - giving people only
what they /want/ would be a recipe for disaster.)

That\'s actually pretty funny. lol Yeah, Larkin just crawled out from under a rock.


I think you are wrong here. He is still living under that rock - with
his eyes tightly shut and his fingers in his ears in case reality and
rationality poke under the rock.

You guys always switch to juvenile insults when you run out of ideas.

\"Crawled out from under a rock.\" How original of you. How can you
stand to live by ancient cliches?


People who design things need to like ideas. You don\'t.

I thought your best designs were purely accidental?

Your obsession with \"ideas\" is as bad as Trump\'s. You both seem to
think \"having great ideas\" makes up for having knowledge and having
rational thought. It doesn\'t.

NASA estimates that global temperature has increased about 1 deg C
since 1880, basically the end of the LIA.

But in just the last few years, at a rate of about 0.015 C per year,
the mosquitoes have gone wild and the corals have all decided to
commit suicide.

I wouldn\'t mind a little more warming. I had to actually wear a

Yep, mosquitoes get more wet breeding grounds because the atmosphere holds
more moisture when warm, and the corals (under THE OCEANS) had
the entire heat capacity of the ocean waters keeping the temperature
slower-warming than the atmosphere. What you call \'global temperature\'
is NOT the temperature of the whole globe, it\'s just the air temperature.

The corals didn\'t decide, they were coerced.

Amsterdam is at the mouth of the Amstel river. Venice is in a lagoon.

Amsterdam grew from a small fishing village, established in the 12th century. Venice was established rather earlier - their first church was dedicated on 25th March 421 AD.

Inferring anything about national character from the way the two very different cities work is a bit silly, even for Flyguy.

Don\'t waste your time with accidents or wild ideas. Go directly to the
best solution.

Now that\'s really funny!

I\'ve been waiting for your comment. You are talking about working in the
Beta state.

Your statement is like taking some dirt, mixing it with sand, sprinkle
some salt on it, and finding out you have just made an atomic bomb by
accident.

That\'s not design, and that\'s not how it happens.

The theta state is real. You have even mentioned it several times -
getting ideas in the shower, or when you are completely relaxed.

Everyone does it whether they realize it or not. Einstein, Edison, and
many others have used it. You can also.

Once you realize where the ideas come from, you can learn how to enhance
the effect. Google \"theta state\" and \"Einstein theta\".

There\'s a lot of absolute crap on the web, which you can ignore. Focus on
the real stuff.

Here\'s an example. Quote

Theta - Entering the World of Our Subconscious

\"Every experience we have as a human being is the result of our brain
waves. Thinking hard does not usually result in flashes of brilliant
creativity, nor does it lead to emotional states of being that nurture
our body and soul. Beta thinking uses your small mind to keep track of
routine tasks and usually goes along with high stress situations.

Stopping the compulsive flow of thoughts in your brain is often the
answer. Not thinking - not having that barrage of words marching through
your mind - actually leads to healthier brain wave states, which link us
to our deep wellsprings of creativity and to the unconscious mind.\"

No, I\'m talking about designing electronics.

I get ideas *delivered* in the shower. I mostly have them when I\'m
asleep. The really hot ones wake me up; the rest can wait.

Brain waves are cargo-cult science, some simple things that can be
measured externally that are not a part-per-trillion expression of
what\'s actually going on.

That\'s the theta state, where ideas occur. You are describing it
perfectly. What you need to learn is how to enhance it.

Accurate. When your brain waves stop, you are dead.

Thinking hard does not usually result in flashes of brilliant
creativity, nor does it lead to emotional states of being that nurture
our body and soul. Beta thinking uses your small mind to keep track of
routine tasks and usually goes along with high stress situations.

You have described the theta state perfectly. All you need to do is learn
how to enhance it.

What I need is a few more junior engineers to take over the ideas and
make them into products in boxes.

Then you should teach them how to use the theta state to enhance their
productivity.

It works. Anyone can do it, except perhaps the mentally deranged. And we
have plenty of those around.
