TweetThis is Only the Beginning, The Real Question is How Fast will Things Shift?

Recently a listener sent me a video presentation by Tony Seba called Clean Disruption – Energy & Transportation.  It really causes one to think a great deal watching this.  I want to point out today that I don’t feel this guys is 100% right, in fact early in today’s presentation I am going to read a quite harsh criticism by our own John Pugliano on this presentation.

I tend to fall somewhere in the middle on the three things Mr. Seba Brings up in the presentation between Seba and Pugliano.  These four factors are the cost and availability of…

Cost and efficiency of solar electric generation

Cost and efficiency of power storage (batteries)

Cost and efficiency of electric vehicles

Cost and efficiency of autonomous vehicles

For my analysis of what this all means today I will consider that Mr. Seba is 50% wrong.

Still that makes what is coming in the next 20 years, absolutely earth shattering.

Join Me Today As We Discuss…

What is the cross over point where everyone will have “some solar”

What is the cross over point where everyone will consider an electric vehicle

What is the cross over point where people will choose transportation as a service

Why I believe this is all coming, smart people can’t see what is obvious

Seba’s basic contention is anything highly underutilized is subject to massive disruption

The average car costs 10K a year to drive and sits unused 94% of the time

A typical power gen company has a third of its generation capacity used only 6% of the year

Some claims Seba Makes

Storage of power for an average home will cost a dollar a day by 2020

By 2022 a 200 mile range electric car will cost about 22K

Solar will double every two years and in 14 years will generation most of the worlds power

Solar will hit grid parity then “God parity”

Solar will hit grid parity in 80% of markets by 2017s end

69% of large corporations are planning to or already using solar

God parity is when the cost of transmission is greater that the cost of local generation

Cost of generation on a roof top in a good solar area will be 4cents a kwh by 2020

Cost of solar plus storage should be 7-8cents per kwh by 2020

Some utility scale solar is now already under 3cents per kwh

Tuscon Electric is currently running utility level solar and storage at 4.5 cents

What all this really means

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.

Today’s episode was originally, Episode-382- All About Ballistics and Ammunition Components and was originally published on February 19, 2010.

I get a very large number of questions about ballistics terminology, cartridge specific questions and a lot of questions from very new or even aspiring first time gun owners. Well today I am going to help you with the “ballistics code” so to speak. Often you can hear a conversation between two experienced rifleman and it sounds almost like a foreign language. So today I will tell not just what many of these terms mean but why they matter and even why some don’t matter that much at all.

Tune in Today as we Discuss…

What is bullet vs. what is a cartridge vs. what is a case

What is trajectory

What is ballistic coefficient

Why more velocity or a lighter bullet is often not the answer

What is sectional density

What is expansion, why does it matter

What is a magnum round vs. a non magnum round

What do all the numbers mean

Why is a 38 Special a “special”

How can a 38 Special be the same caliber as a .357 magnum

What is necking up or necking down

How are most “new” rifle rounds created

How can a short 308 be almost as powerful as a 30-06

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.

Today’s episode was originally, 15 Items for the Prepper Kitchen and How to Use Them and was originally published on July 5th, 2016.

Today we are back after the 4th of July with the number one voted on show for July’s Tuesday “Just Jack” shows. I didn’t really expect this topic to do well, it was just something on a lark, may be people will like it.

One of the Greatest Kitchen Tools You Can Ever Own

Though as I have often said cooking may be the most relevant of all modern survival topics in our daily lives. The benefits are numerous, real, relevant and frankly immediate.

Think about cooking this way, it is the preparation or preservation of food. What is more relevant to our daily survival and long term welfare than that?

Additionally it has both immediate and long term positive impacts on our wallets and our health. Show me a family that eats out 5 times a week and I will show you one bleeding money. Show me a family that eats processed foods 5 times a week and I will show you one destroying their health.

Do you realize that in some households no one ever actually cooks anything. I know of families where 100% of food is restaurant, take out or delivery. Seriously!

The thing with cooking is it can be intimidating. No one wants to mess up and make a bad meal. Want the secret to cooking, GET THE F OVER IT and just drive on. To this day I still occasionally screw something up, over cook something, make it too spicy for my wife, etc. I never even let people tell me something is good when I know I did something wrong. But the way forward is “duly noted, don’t do that again, move on”.

Today we look at 15 items for your kitchen, how to use them and how they fit into making great food at home, storing food for the future and enjoying it all at the same time.

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.

Today’s episode was originally, Episode-1071- Raising Quail for Eggs and Meat with MoonvalleyPrepper and first published on February 14, 2013.

The following are the original show notes from that episode with additional links mentioned in today’s intro segment.

MonvalleyPrepper (aka Brad Davies) is a long time member of the TSP audience and community.

A few months ago he chimed in on a comments thread here at the TSP Blog about raising quail When I heard the shear volume of production in such a tiny foot print I knew I had to get him on the air.

Coturnix Quail Eggs with a Chicken Egg for Scale.

It got better though! Next, I heard he lived in the suburbs, had neighbors on either side. That inspire of that he was able to produce in the range of 20,000 eggs a year and hundreds of meat animals.

Now get this his neighbors didn’t even know they were there!

Once I heard all that I knew how important this could be for other preppers. I also realized it might be a solution for many of our members that want to homestead in the city or the burbs and not call down the wrath of code enforcement officials or blue hairs running the local HOA.

Join Us Today As We Discuss…

The basic process from start to finish

Setting up housing and equipment

Getting incubation of your eggs right

Inputs and outputs of the system

Specific suburban issues to consider

Using quail tractors or going large scale

Breeding to improve stock and culling to curb undesirable traits

Avoiding common getting started/first season mistake

Some specific equipment and feed recommendations

Ben Fitts founder of Crypto Gulch joins us today to discuss his new company and cryptocurrency in general.  Ben and I have worked together in various ways since the 1990s on many projects and business ventures.  So when he told me that he was launching a cryptocurrency mining service I was quick to want to learn more.

Over the past few months we have worked together to determine the best path forward for Crypto Gulch from a service and pricing structure.  While I have no official ownership position in Crypto Gulch Ben has been very open to my advice on some tweaks and I feel together we have set things up in a very good way.

Ben is also very tied into cryptocurrency and let me know about a lot of really interesting things going on in the space during this interview.  This includes some thoughts on Dubai’s new currency EM Cash and a potential new Russian coin called the cryptoruble.

We also discuss another pending Bitcoin fork, wallets, exchanges and more.  I am pretty sure this interview will be very informative on cryptocurrency in general and will also give those interested a better understanding of Crypto Gulch at the same time.

To be on our notification list for the Crypto Gulch launch on the 24th next week, just fill out the form at the bottom of this post.

Here is a fact, whether you like this fact or not won’t change that it is indeed a fact.  The American people have been systematically programmed to be unable to make rational and logical decisions over many generations.

Here are the key tenets that contributed to this…

The State/Education System – Children are taught to learn a thing, repeat a thing and defend a thing, but never to determine a thing.  Every concept in our education system is based on a single correct answer, the student never determines anything.

~

Industry/Media – Marketing itself is telling a story and not much more.  But modern marketing has become the epitome of dichotomy.  Everything is boiled down to an A vs B choice.  This is done in direct marketing, online, in entertainment, etc.

Long time listeners should be on full patter recognition alert right now, when they see the combination of a common goal between The State and Industry, and recognize the component here of neofascism.

If you are new to TSP understand this has nothing to do with a “Neo Nazi”.   No that is old neo fascism and hence no longer neo.  You see my friends to understand a word you must define it, so what does neo mean?

neo – a combining form meaning “new,” “recent,” “revived,” “modified,” used in the formation of compound words.

So just gonna say WWII was ended 72 years ago, there is nothing new about the fascism of Hitler.  No today’s new fascism is right here in America.

Fascism is simply a form or government where industry and government work together and see themselves as “mediators between the classes” and feel that “the differences between the classes are to be used as an advantage” in “achieving the goals of both the state and industry”.

We won’t go deep into this concept today but in our “new fascism” we have the largest per capita prison population on the planet but no concentration camps and an oligarchy standing in for a totalitarian dictator.   Which is the true neo here, instead of the government running industry, industry runs government.

With such a system it is inevitable that all decision making will end up dumbed down to a dichotomy where the side you are not on, is, always wrong.  Such a people can’t be expected to form original opinions and frankly for those in charge such a thing is highly undesirable.

Join Me Today to Discuss…

How and why modern people were taught not to think

What is a dichotomy vs. a false dichotomy

Questions to ask about any problem or issue….

Is this really important to me, if so why

How did this even come to my attention

Can I actually take any meaningful action as to this issue, if so what

What is the source of my knowledge on this issue

What is this sources agenda

What is their track record

What do other sources say

Is this something I want or that I need in my life/business, etc.

If this has never been an issue for me before does it really matter now

On “problems”, “needs” and “wants”

What happens if we do nothing

Do we already have something to deal with this

Is it really a problem

Is it a need or a want, and how bad do I want it

How much of my bias is at play here

On knowledge vs. belief

Do I know the truth or do I believe I know the truth

What if anything would change my mind on this thing

Is this something I was trained to believe or a decision I made
