Actually jet fuel burning at atmospheric pressure doesn’t burn hot enough to melt steel. No surprise there…😔

Good for a chuckle. 😊 https://image.nostr.build/6e19d907b5bc806d04fbe8764b9ee418169515b840437d384c789f3a8abf6b53.jpg

I stopped at an empty agricultural field today with my dog. The golden brittle summer heat scorched grass was disc scored, clumps of straw and dust. Hog weed and Russian thistle scattered sporadically, plants with chemical warfare and grit. To my full color binocular sight the scene was peaceful but plain, inspirational in the way a minimalist painting calms some embroiled part of the subconscious by failing to inspire the conscious mind while engaging it. To her, the scene was a video of Tokyo at night. She darted from place to place, nose to the ground, a tapestry of chronologically ordered events unfolding for her mind in olfactory stimulation impulses as visual clues present themselves to a large predatory cat, or the combination of sight and sound inspire an owl at night. I watched her for some time adventuring through the field. I wonder if at some point humans will be able to opt for augmentation to our senses. I wonder how the world will present with the ears of an owl, the nose of a canine, and the tactical response of a feline. The result seems as if it might be like having the resolution of our eyesight in every genre of sensation.

It’s better than nothing no? It’s the country holding BTC as something other than proceeds from criminal prosecutions.

True, but for widespread adoption the currency must be that easy to use. It is the burden of developers to make it so.

I agree, I tend to see it as I’m either being prepared while participating in polite society, or I’m coping with a combat zone in which case the loud-out would be substantially different. There are situations in which probably being prepared adequately all the time is unreasonable, and that lack of adequate preparedness means assured defeat. There are legal ramifications to consider surrounding a defensive shooting scenario with lots of preparedness. It doesn’t look good in court. For me it boils down to assessing risk. Multiple assailants? Probably just give them what they want.

Even with armor, my guess is three .45 LC packing 1300 ftlbs to the rib cage is going to take your wind and knock you down. If you’re quick the other three are available for close range follow up. I think with powerful cartridges six is always enough. Worst case, six with six more on a speed loader.

Not voting is assuredly going to fail to even express dissent which is a decent and not entirely meaningless action. It at least promotes cohesion among the governed population.

Who often does exactly what he says he’ll do….legacy doesn’t misrepresent.

Over a quarter of Gen Zers said they follow a vegetarian or vegan diet according to Robinhood Snacks newsletter. Self proctored depopulation?

Yep, there are some valid criticisms, but it’s important to make government incrementally better with each choice we make as a country. I think RFK is definitely a step in the right direction.

I talk to so many people who are spending significant effort and discipline to lose weight. It’s unfortunate that these efforts and intents are often crushed by failure due to a lack of understanding about how our biological systems change their relationship with diet and lifestyle over time. I hope some of these numerous individual conversations help to enable some of these people to change their lifestyles in meaningful and fulfilling ways. ❤️
