Lawrence Everett News Today

I have been working on design of a new home-based solar power system. Solar has been around for a long time, and the technology has become more user friendly with acceptable cost. I was working online with a large solar power company, using its hardware to come up with a basic system that is compact, […]

History is replete with examples of how a small, limited war quickly descends into total war. The Oxford Reference definition is “a war that is unrestricted in terms of the weapons used, the territory or combatants involved, or the objectives pursued, especially one in which the laws of war are disregarded.” We are on the […]

I write in rebuttal to Lawrence Everett’s letter (“A past not remembered may be repeated,” March 23). Those who ignore history, as Mr. Everett wrote in his letter, are doomed to repeat it. This I accept as fact. His history is good; had his friend, the Panzer commander, told him about Czechoslovakia in 1938? Does […]

Those representatives from President Biden’s administration going to Ukraine, daring Vladimir Putin to use nuclear weapons, is the most reckless, stupid, idiotic, brain-dead stunt any elected official has ever done. Not since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis have we ever been closer to nuclear war. I remember how close we came […]

It isn’t easy for most people to understand the entanglement of technology and unintentional outcomes. They only see the benefits to their lives that technology brings, and they don’t think about anything beyond that. To get from technological concept to a profitable outcome is a complicated step-by-step engineering process. In each step there can be […]
