AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the credibility of a video promoting "GS Filters," with skepticism about its commercial intent versus the reputation of CBC. Key points include concerns about the impact of wireless networks and cell phones on health, as mentioned by a speaker in the video. Additionally, the topic of dirty power is highlighted, particularly in industrial settings, where Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) arises from technologies like pulse-width and pulse-frequency modulation used in inverters, motor controllers, and lighting systems. This issue is also relevant to consumer electronics, including computers and TVs, suggesting a broader concern about the effects of dirty power in both industrial and home environments.

I can't read the link.

Dirty power is an issue in industry (THD), as a function of the use of pulse-width and pulse-frequency modulation, in inverters, motor controllers, lighting systems, and other industrial systems.

The same technology is used in computers, TVs, and some home lighting systems...

The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
