Wait, didn't Palestine hold the area before (current) Israel? I'm terrible at modern history.

Space pen perhaps? I think they are all metal... But it's been a while since I've looked at a cart.

I believe they go over 80% just not in the traditional style. Rocket stoves, come to mind.

Wait, how can something be greater than a 1:1 energy transfer?

Pretty sure electric translates to heat at a 100% efficiency rating, but that's not considering the 30% or w/e origin of that energy. But I digress, how do you get over 100% returns on your energy?

True, or you could enjoy the commute, in which case is a double win.

But yea, money is basically time debt owed to you by society, so if spending money to get time, it balances out. Kinda like how spending money on assets doesnt directly affect net worth.

Even just getting buy, working and earning from my own land sounds far better than just about anything else. Something special about work being part of life rather than something to seperate out.

I used to have to focus my attention on at least two things. Like 80/20 or I couldn't focus. That 20% would be enough to keep my mind from wandering from the 80%

But, whatever works for you.

Personally, I think going without always on access to the web would do be wonders.

That everything I buy can be measured as totalCost/wages*0.82=hoursCost.

I love measuring things in hours.

Let's assume I make 12/hr. Is 24 cans of soda really worth more (taxes) than an hour of work? 12 bucks might not sound too bad, but over an hours wages does.
