August 2024

I spent the last three days cleaning up my computer room.

I filled 14 boxes.

Before and after.

Yesterday, I torrented and put online the last two seasons of South Park.

I believe that my point of view cannot control my body.

It cannot control what I say and it cannot control what I do.

It is a spectator only.

What I do or say is the result of my body's past. It is not from my point of view.

No such thing.

Electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Then, they are burned together back into water.

Basically, it's an electric car that uses water as power transfer.

You don't fuel the car with water. You have to fuel it with already separated hydrogen and oxygen, that the car would turn back into water after burning them.

If you really wanted to use water, it would be a closed loop in the otherwise electric car.

Me and my dad spent an hour and a half installing two new lights in our basement.

My dad made a little bit of room in the basement and it was the perfect time to do it.

Previously, we had a temporary light next to the electrical panel that we had to manually turn on. Now, we have a proper light controlled by the switch.

Today, I cleaned up the mess of cables we had in the basement.

I took the coax cable and ran it with the network cable I did yesterday.

I took the audio cable and hanged it to a nail on the wall.

Finally, I shortened the extension cord to the fan.

...is gross and degrading.

I don't want people to treat me like I'm some sort of a complex machine.

On Monday, we had a plumber install a pump in the old well.

Today, me and my dad went to the site to test the well.

We brought a generator and left the pump running for an hour and a half.

The water started at 12'.
5 min : 15'
18 min : 16'
35 min : 16'8"

After 40 minutes, the water dropped to 16'8" and stopped going down.

Then, the water went up! I can't explain that. My dad is going to ask a plumber if that is OK.

In the end, after 90 minutes, the level rose to 15'8". Then we stopped the pump.

We also filled three bottles for testing the water quality.

The water was slightly dirty at first (the well has not been used in 40 years), but it quickly went clear.

The water looks really good.

Me and my dad went back to the well to test it again.

We brought a 100 feet long blue lay-flat pipe to release the water downhill away from the well.

We ran the pump for 105 minutes and the water went down 86 inches (from 12'8" to 19'10")

We have plenty of water.

We believe that with the test we did yesterday, the well kept refilling itself.

By releasing the water further downhill, the water in the well kept falling instead of going stable like it did yesterday.

I forgot to take a picture of the end of the blue lay-flat pipe.

This time, we also measured the flow rate : the pump fills a 5 gallon bucket in 23 seconds.

Where did they get the seeds ?

The water test we did on the well had e. coli in it.
