Furthermore we are seeing major euro chemical corps taking preservation measures that may be a signal for a death spiral for the competitiveness of European capital. We also see leaders like Macron pissed that the US is in such a good spot relatively speaking. All of this is only getting harder to watch. The US truly is cannabalizing the west.

    Assuming this is true of u.s. too I am taking some measures to de-liquidate.

    From my twitter:

    aliexpress is overwhelming… particularly looking at raw components

    looking at solar cell 's specifically. these things are so much cheaper than buying a ready made panel, presumably more versatile

    yay I got a few of these:

    so next I need a source of good and cheap battery cells

    so I have a junk LGA 1151 mobo from 2015 sitting around from my first PC building experiment… I thought I burnt it out but recently I found it’s still working /w the Pentium and 2x 4GB DDR4 I had originally.

    maybe I can buy a cpu like the E3-1260L V5 ($50 ebay, 45W) or go

    cheaper even. Since I’ve found I can get solar for 31¢ / watt, and cheap extrusions, cheap ATX parts on ebay.

    I could make a half decent monero mining rig for barely any cost ultimately.

    and I plan to buy more aluminum extrusions…
