fw - 30 FOSS apps

article bigging up 30 FOSS (free & open source software) apps for consumer PC.

I currently use #1 Firefox, & 11 VLC.

I used to use 17 MusikCube, but currently use the imho superior Foobar2000. Either way mf a wack iTunes app.

Energy efficiency stimulus

I generally agree with most of the steps suggested by this article, and buy in to the urgency of acting now, and aggressively. (I have problems with the emphasis on nuclear, given my concerns about waste storage and the cost effectiveness of it). Part of the problem has been that the Feds haven't fully funded the State weatherization programs in the recent past. This has to change, and more money should be made available. Energy conservation and efficiency improvements in peoples' homes make a lot of sense by stemming demand AND putting folks to work.

Stevie Wonder "All Day Sucker" = GOAT song on "calenta huevo hoes"

This funk song "All Day Sucker" off of Stevie Wonder 1976 Song In The Key Of Life is great. The beat is great, sick funky guitar & even the random xylophone on the chorus. Outstanding 5/5.



Also the lyrics are very relatable to any guys that have dealt with a calenta huevo girl. Aka approximately 99.7% of all heterosexual men alive. And that number is prolly rising, because it seems the plague of calentahuevoism is most likely rising in the past few years from all anecdotal evidence.

What is a calenta huevo girl/woman? Calenta Huevo is a genius term an old Peruvian friend from Dallas invented, literally means a "ball warmer". A girl that flirts tremendously with a dude, but in the end just wants to be friends, &/or use the dude to do some task, such as help her move apartments.

To be clear, I'm not being misogynistic, many women are very altruistic/non-calenta huevoish, just like many women are calenta huevoish. Just like a fair mind women would say many dudes are jerks or non-jerks.

Free Consulting to anyone if relevant: some sociologist do a PhD on trends in calentahuevoism since 1976 to 2008.

Damn, so many of Stevie's lyrics are timeless. The song "Black Man" should be played at Obama's inauguration

If you feel me [||] on calentahuevoism, hit up the comments on ur calenta huevo stories.

Obama selects physicist Steven Chu for Sec of Energy

Obama nominates for Sec of Energy Dr Steven Chu, a cabinet member that's an real work doer/thinker/engineer, as physicist. As opposed to candidates that are more of BS work doer/salesman/politrickian than real work doers, like H Clinton & Larry Summers. Bill Richardson is kind of half salesman, half real-work doer, as he has significant work experience in many Government sectors.

Anyways, it's great to see a physicist like Chu at the Dept. of Energy, at a time where allocating resources to different alternative renewable energy projects will be pursued. Chu is a Nobel Prize winner in physics, so his capability for this task is about infinite that of a typical generic DC douche lawyer/politrickian.

Too bad Obama skipped on real work doer Susan Rice to be Secretary of State, a PhD with 20 years of diplomat experience. Instead, Obama went with saleswoman/poltirickian Hill Dog Clinton, whose diplomat experience consists of meeting some foreign leaders while being First Lady in the 1990s.

The government, & US organizations in general public or private, could stand to use more real work doers/engineers/scientists/genuine subject matter experts/PhDs, & less bs work doers/salesmen/politrickians/lawyers.
