Yes, 70W 24/7 is OK, that is 1680 W for an hour each day, lifepo4 cells as buffer, plenty for cooking and maybe laundry, and the heat would be great too, gas prices are rising here, Let me know when you have one for sale.

Thinking about that issue: anti-biotics (penicillin etc) (probably saved my life).

Internet no, already in the late sixties I was in Europe listening to US truckers on 27 MHz with my jfet home build receiver, transmitter you could say what you wanted and when you wanted, no regulations.... more and more 'internet' is getting changed into what now still is a broadcasting system, in some countries you need a license to run a website... will be cut off in case unrest happens.. etc etc

Maybe I will put my good old CB antenna back on the roof... freedom

Or was it conditions were better in the early seventies?

10 years or as a ago I was still working S America on CB, have not tried lately.

With my freaking ham license I cannot talk about everything... on top of that it cost me abut 25 $ a year here.

FREEDOM!!!

Hey tried slow scan TV too in the seventies.

Nothing much new happened after Apollo really....

It is the end of an era, just like there was an end to the iron age birth all it is now is refinements of electronics.... Nothing new.

I want the stars

If I ever get one I'll keep it. I wonder what the stray radiation was like. Quantity-wise that is :)

Simple, the wheel and the lever (OK, two things) - without either of which civilization can't occur.

If just a choice between the printing press and the internet, then the printing press is the greatest invention - it led to the internet as you had to have a minimum percentage of people who can read and communicate between themselves to be able to create and use the internet.

Cooking. That changed our food chain and metabolism and let our brains develop. I think that was good.

Yeah, we'd all be dead from tetanus from stepping on a nail in our youth were it not for orange rind mold.

The drinking cup.

The heat source was a canister with some alpha emitter isotope inside. Not a lot of radiation got out, not until it rusted through, that is ...

God did.

Nobody 'invented' cooking either. It was 'happened upon'.

OR knowledge passed on to us by the aliens.

But some cave twerp certainly didn't get inspired by a lightning struck deer.

Hmmm... what's your last name? Wouldn't be Daniels would it?

Not yours. You self dumbed. No chance whtsoever that a dope like you could ever figure out that a little self inebriation never hurt anybody.

Oh well if it's alpha I'll order one. Better build a containment for it too.

Decided against collecting a million smoke alarms :)

I don't need drugs to be crazy. I learned to do that on my own.

Well, a little coffee and chocolate can help.

inebriation hurt plenty of people.

John Larkin has got that right. The catch is that our ancestors had to invent it before they got big enough - and big-brained enough - to look much like us.

If apes of our size and with our brain size had popped up before their relatives had invented cooking they would have starved.
