Random Thoughts or Whatever

Technically, probably, since it is in fact, used to wirelessly and "remotely control" a electronic/electrical device, using RF, instead of IR communication with the machine..

I use my living room`s located A/V rack`s laptop`s wireless track ball (I dislike computer mice) every night while laying in my bed around the corner from the rack to manipulate the computer`s Win Media Player`s various playback functions while viewing the laptop`s display fed to my bedroom`s flat screen TV/monitor.

Now, a wired mouse...
 
We talk "Nirvana", Grasshopper (B)? "blissful state" :D

Q
If you wish to use term Nirvana, I`m comfortable with that, Ted.
If a battery operated device that`s capable of functioning properly, will always be happiest performing when powered by fresh batteries, so it should reside in a "technically blissful state" (all internal powered circuits receiving the proper voltages) while operating.
If you wish to explore mentally deeper in to this off the cuff remark I made to Mystic hrs. earlier, please ponder all you wish, Sir.

I tend to treat all my electronic/electrical devices with care and respect to they remain happy, and function reliably, since I don`t wish to fix them, as I`m becoming more lazy with age !

In 10 years the next huge environmental crisis will be burying millions of spent Lithium car batteries. They’re not recyclable because they are encapsulated in a crash proof case.
They have to be almost impossible to come apart in case of an accident.
A lithium fire is hard to extinguish.
Oops you don’t hardly ever hear about that future disaster and water won’t put them out.
This car just spontaneously combusted.

Hey, all I’m saying is. When an electric car is plugged in and charging, it’s using whatever ‘dirty’ energy source that is supplying the electrical grid in your area. Nuclear. Coal. Natural gas.

And all of these cars are putting a brand new demand on the grid, which will need to be expanded to meet the new demand. Which regulations and red tape will hold up for decades…
 
Re, the economy. Pawn shops are failing and closing, including the one I once had as a busy successful trade with soldiers from the now closed Army post across the road. It would have become a soul crushing white elephant if I'd kept it till now.
It's like any business, you make a living keeping the money moving. If/when it stops moving thru for any reason in any form past the ability to survive the lean period, it dies in time from red ink from lack of trade.
Loaning money on collateral and sales of pre-owned and new items was once a reliable way to make a living, it looks risky at best these days.
