steev hise<p>My computer is dying. Heat problem. A fan is failing.<br>&nbsp;The part is discontinued. the laptop is only 5 years old. Having trouble finding the exact part# for the fan assembly even on like Ebay and Amazon and Alibaba. Can't afford new computer. Need new glasses too. Can't afford them either. can't afford my insurance premiums either. might just cash in my IRA. It's tanking with the stock market anyway. </p><p>It struck me this morning that money is like energy, and like energy you can inject more of it into a system to lower the total entropy of the system, but without it the entropy just keeps increasing. Conversely as DOG(e)(gy) sucks money out of the US system, the entropy is increasing at a really fast rate, and goddess knows where the chaos will lead us.</p><p>anyway. this text is from my Patreon.
